Chapter 524 The Unconscious Person
"boom!"
Without any hesitation, now was not the time to be cautious. The captain raised his hand and blasted out a powerful ripple, trying to block the group of devourers in the distance!
Taking advantage of this time gap, everyone ran away. After all, they were all at Sequence Seven level, so they quickly rushed into the ruined city and met up with the captain.
"team leader."
The young man was about to speak when he suddenly trembled.
Looking at the huge pit in the city, filled with corpses
"What exactly is this."
The captain shook his head: "I don't know"
He looked solemn.
To be honest, he had no idea what happened in this place. In the wasteland, there was usually a stable, dedicated route. Other places were too dangerous. Unless they were carrying out missions or searching for some [turbulent debris], they would hardly set foot there. After the devastating blow suffered by this city a year ago, countless people were killed and injured, and it had become a place that no one could enter.
"Let's go. We can't stay here for long. Let's go through this place quickly."
The captain said in a deep voice, because for some unknown reason the black fog in the city was extremely weak.
This will undoubtedly greatly speed up their actions.
Of course, the corpses of the devourers all over the ground are actually very valuable things. It's a pity that the situation is urgent now and they can't collect them here. When other devourers arrive, these corpses will probably become their food. After all, they can devour anything that has traces of existence.
The captain took a step forward and led everyone quickly deeper into the city. The desolate atmosphere became increasingly intense.
At this moment, he felt very solemn, with deep doubts about the ruins and vague worries about the unknown.
As everyone continued to move forward, the scene before them became increasingly fragmented. The buildings in the city had already been razed to the ground by the huge impact.
Some places did not collapse completely, and some lost sections were mixed with various steel bars.
"Hurry up, don't stop."
They had to get through the city quickly and leave this place.
But at this time.
The captain's attention was suddenly attracted by an unusual light. Looking up, he was shocked - in the center of the huge pit, there was a collapse to a depth of nearly 100 meters.
And a huge stone was standing quietly in it.
No. No. It should be said that it is a stone, but a piece of ground that has come over quickly, with an unsettling ancient atmosphere.
"what is this?"
The young man muttered to himself, feeling something was wrong.
The captain said nothing. He could clearly feel an invisible force emanating from its surface, which bore horrific traces of battle.
"This stone... is definitely not from this world." The captain whispered.
His eyes were solemn, and his mind was working rapidly. "The turbulence outside the deep space is so strong that even the top masters in our world cannot enter safely. How could these meteorites fall from the sky without shattering?"
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps. The captain came to his senses and realized that another team was running from another direction.
Their faces were filled with fear and they barely had time to stop and breathe.
There was also a tendency for black fog to roll in from behind him, and if he moved his ears he could hear faint roars.
"team leader!"
A young man activated his reconnaissance ability, and his eyes turned into eagle eyes: "Behind that team... there are a lot of Devourers coming! We have to leave quickly!"
"Let's go!" The captain made a quick decision and led the team forward, while constantly looking behind him. As the black fog became thicker, the figures of the Devourers gradually emerged, as if they were pouring out of the shadows in groups, ferocious and not to be underestimated.
The captain led the team through the ruins. The piece of alien land in front of them still stood still, as if there were many secrets to be unearthed.
But he knew that it was not advisable to stay here for long.
The team advanced forward at an alarming speed. The team members' rapid breathing could be heard, and the Devourers were chasing them closely like bloodthirsty beasts.
The other team also obviously noticed them. The leader looked at the situation behind them and his pupils shrank.
The two glanced at each other briefly.
The leader tilted his head slightly.
Make a calming sound.
"9 o'clock, you better keep up."
The captain did not feel offended, but nodded: "Understood."
They immediately chose the same direction and started running away together.
Because the moment I saw them appear, I recognized each other's identities.
It was obvious that the other party had more Devourers behind him, and the black fog was thicker, which was completely not on the same level as those behind them.
“And the equipment they carry.”
The young man couldn't help but look over.
Unlike them, each member of the other team was wearing a set of sophisticated combat uniforms.
The silver-gray streamlined armor reflected a cold light among the ruins, and the surface of this team's combat uniforms was flowing with the unique ripples of liquid metal.
When the black mist touched the diamond-shaped reactor on its chest, the nanofibers automatically weaved an anti-corrosion coating, making a fine hissing sound.
The holographic goggles covered the entire face, and the iris was filled with a constantly refreshing data stream. The deputy captain raised his hand and pressed it towards the group of Devourers. The micro-projector on the back of the tactical gloves immediately unfolded a three-dimensional terrain map in the air. Seventeen red dots were flashing next to the target marked as "high-risk mutant".
"They are the Dawnbreakers," the captain said without any surprise.
At this moment.
The two teams met together, and because of the change in direction, a large number of Devourers behind them instantly came closer and were about to encircle them.
"Energy node locked." A member of that team emitted an electronic sound from the voice box in his throat, and twelve bee-shaped drones popped out from their shoulder armors, with laser grids at their tails that were difficult to see with the naked eye.
It directly covers a large area at the back!
The most eye-catching thing is their spinal prosthesis - seven bionic alloy vertebrae are exposed. Whenever they make tactical moves, blue-purple nerve currents will flow along the mechanical synapses. The interface at the back of the captain's neck is directly connected to the suspended turret. When he turned his head to avoid the Devourer's acid attack!
The turret fired three pulse bombs simultaneously, accurately detonating the thousand-meter devourer! A small mushroom cloud was formed!
"So handsome!" Several new team members couldn't help but widen their eyes at this scene.
"Be careful!" the young man couldn't help but remind.
Because there is a very fast sickle-devourer rushing towards them.
Devourer is just a general term for these monsters, each of them has different fighting styles and abilities.
"Activate the phase coating." As the command was issued, the surface of everyone's combat uniforms suddenly rippled like water waves. The front limbs of the Devourer's sickles that flew over had clearly cut into the left abdomen of the team members, but they penetrated the body like a holographic projection. The real attacker jumped out from the space fault three meters away, and the energy wave blade ejected from the arm armor split the monster in half!
"There is actually spatial fluctuation!" Even the young men with more experience showed expressions of horror in their eyes.
The gravity anchors on the soles of their boots left blue marks on the gravel, and each step created a brief gravitational depression in the ground.
When a team member was trapped in an acid spider web, the leg armor immediately decomposed and reorganized into a jet module. When it rushed out of the flames, the charred nanorobots fell off like silver sand and were quickly replaced by a new generation of mechanical cells.
"This is the Dawnbreaker team." The captain also exhaled lightly: "This is the team with the highest combat power of the human headquarters, and it is the team that has opened up a channel of hope for survival for this world!"
"Their equipment."
The young man couldn't help but say that their world was destroyed. Although the technology had developed very powerfully before the destruction, it was far from this level.
The captain said softly: "It is also the power obtained from outside the turbulence."
His eyes suddenly moved, because this team also carried a cryostat, but it seemed to have space-type equipment, which was suspended in front of everyone by magnetism and did not affect any of their actions and combat.
At this moment, even though there was such a surging black fog and a large number of extremely powerful devourers behind him, the leader still had the leisure to talk to the captain next to him.
"Are you from the Eastern Security Zone?"
"Yes."
"We are heading back to headquarters. This is not a place to bring in new people."
"Understood." The captain nodded.
He hesitated for a moment: "Senior, what is that thing?"
He had to ask because the lid of the freezer was partially transparent and he could see what looked like a human figure inside.
And this person also exuded a very special aura, which was exactly the same as the ancient aura on the huge land fragment that he had just seen.
"We don't know either. We are investigating. But one thing we can be sure of is that since last night, a large number of meteorites have been falling from the sky. The pit you see is just one of them."
The leader said softly: "And this person is the one we found in one of the pits, which means he is an alien."
The captain was slightly stunned, then he thought of something and showed some excitement on his face: "So."
"Since he and those meteorites were able to travel through the turbulence and arrive here safely, it means there must be a way to open up the passage. We have also collected those fragments and are preparing to send them to the headquarters."
"Perhaps there is hope that we can get some clues from him, but the prerequisite is, of course, to save him."
This world has become unsuitable for survival in the past year. Coupled with the power of the black fog and the devourer, if all living beings continue to stay here, they will only die.
The strongest people in this wasteland could have crossed the turbulence and left on their own, but no one did so.
There are a total of one billion residents in the wasteland. Even though more than half of them have been lost in this year, it is still a considerable base. These top strong men are responsible and just. They need to open up migration channels to transfer all living beings away from this desperate place.
With the powerful equipment and strength of the Dawnbreaker team, they quickly left the city, and the pursuers behind them were blocked and thrown off.
After all, every Dawnbreaker is a Sequence Six, and not just an ordinary-strength Sequence Six. Even a strong one like the captain cannot be selected among them.
There weren't many disturbances afterwards. Apart from the occasional deep pits scattered around, there was almost no major danger.
However, this also shows how many meteorite fragments there are from outer space.
Soon, the team saw a huge shadow in the endless wasteland. After the fog dissipated, a towering fortress appeared before their eyes.
It stands tall like an isolated island, its solid outer walls looking even more majestic under the gloomy sky. The outline of the fortress is faintly visible in the dark mist, and the surging black fog shadows around it form a sharp contrast with the solidity of this safe zone.
"We're here." The captain couldn't help but feel relieved, and the heaviness in his heart was slightly alleviated.
The safe headquarters is the most powerful shelter and the hope of all survivors. Although he has been stationed in the eastern shelter area before, he has been here many times.
Around the fortress, dense fortifications pointed to the sky like spears, and warning lights flickered, reflecting the many figures who were defending here.
"Hurry! His heart beats slower than before." The Dawnbreaker commanded everyone to move towards the fortress. Apparently they had contacted and reported in advance.
