Looking at the gate in front of them, the captain and the adjutant looked at each other and the team members behind them. The captain gestured for them to rest for the time being. Two team members were in charge of guarding the gate, while the others rested in place. It was unknown whether it was because they were underground, or because there was a steel gate at the end of the tunnel. This place was filled with a mysterious atmosphere. None of the team members talked, just silently drinking water and gnawing on bread to satisfy their hunger.
"Captain, this is probably an olden era military base." After inspecting the situation near the gate, the black adjutant returned to the captain's side and whispered, "The materials used in the gate, the design of the steel rails, and some other auxiliary equipment are clearly not our current magic energy technology."
"An olden era military base?" The captain took off his helmet and rubbed his hair. "Alright, let's see what's inside."
He stood up and said in a deep voice, "Get up and set off. Check your equipment. I need you to be ready to fight at any time. "
All the team members quickly conducted a self-examination of their equipment. The captain gestured to the adjutant, and the black adjutant took out a magic energy rifle from his back. This rifle, called "Storm", could carry out rapid strikes and suppressive firepower. It was the most suitable for cover. The captain took out a magic energy pistol, activated it, and walked through the gap in the gate with his gun raised.
The others filed in.
The air behind the door was dry, and the team members' breathing was smooth, indicating that the air circulation in the base was good. Everyone's tactical helmets had already been activated with infrared vision, and no one dared to use the flashlight on their helmets in such a dim environment. Otherwise, it would simply be a living target for movement.
Entering from the gate was a downward passage. The passage was very spacious, and it could not be seen from the signs on the road that it was a two-way passage that could accommodate four armored vehicles side by side at the same time. The structure of the passageway did not show any major damage. From this point of view, the quality of the military base was still very good. After all, magic energy technology had only been popularized for about two hundred years, so it could be inferred that this base was at least a product of two centuries ago. It was already very rare for the environment of the base to be able to maintain its general appearance.
There was no lighting in the base, and it was like a deathly silent grave. Even these well-trained soldiers were under tremendous mental pressure during this silent march. The passage seemed to have no end, and when the captain saw the road in front of him, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
The road had already been abandoned, and the electronic system had long since stopped operating. Crossing the road, there was a platform behind it. Judging from the nearby signs, this should be a transit platform for goods transportation. After the goods of the outside world were delivered of of of them, they would be handed over here and transported by the internal vehicles of the base. There were several passageways on the platform that led to the elevator, but without electricity, these elevators would naturally be stopped.
A moment, the team found a staircase.
Standing at the pitch-black entrance, the captain gestured for them to be on guard before entering with his adjutant. Of of of of the helmet showed the scene below. Below the black of the tactical of the helmet. It of of of of, of of of them of. He of, he of, he of of of of of of.
The captain hurriedly shrank back. Even someone as experienced as him felt his heart thump heavily. One of these these these. of of of of the of the of., the of Captain, the, he. other of the captain of the of of the of. of him of him of the other. of... The of the of the captain of of of of of..
But he was certain that with such a monster hiding in this military base, these beasts were definitely not of nature. Their cold eyes were not of that of a beast at all, but more of that of a well-trained soldier.
Moreover, it was the kind that was trained to be a killing machine.
The captain gestured to the adjutant. The latter understood and whispered to a soldier behind him, "Send out the scout robot."
The soldier unloaded the tactical backpack and took out a box from inside. Opening it, inside was a scout machine disguised as an insect. After activating it, the robot flew down the staircase. Through the screen of the tactical board, they could see the scene below.
Below the staircase was a monster, the size of a calf, the head of a lion, the horns of a bull, and the arms of a human. The muscles of the two arms were bulging, but the hind limbs were like the legs of cattle, and the hooves were black and shiny. On the screen, the monster seemed to have discovered the robot. It raised its head, and suddenly a ball of flame appeared between the two horns of its head. Suddenly, the screen was illuminated by the flame, making it impossible to see anything. Then, the screen lost signal, obviously that the robot had been destroyed.
The captain's heart was heavy. The monster was acting like a sentinel, destroying anything suspicious that passed by. At this moment, the adjutant bumped into him, and the captain discovered that there was a fire under the stairs. He raised the visor of his tactical helmet and saw that the fire was so obvious in the dim stairs that it was getting brighter and brighter. A moment later, a shadow appeared at the corner.
The monster was heading towards them!
The captain immediately gestured for retreat. At this moment, a scream came from behind him. He turned around and saw a monster pouncing down from the top of the stairs. The two curved horns on his head propped up one of his soldiers. When the other soldiers saw this, they raised their rifles and fired at the monster. A rain of bullets swept through the monster, spraying it with blood. However, it didn't even scream. It dropped the soldier and opened its mouth to spit out a ball of flames.
At this moment, another monster appeared in front of the captain at the bottom of the stairs. Attacked from the front and back, the captain could only roar, "Kill these two monsters!"
The team was divided into two sides, with about seven or eight people on each side. They concentrated their firepower on the two monsters. The Storm Rifle in the black adjutant's hand poured down. A rain of light landed on the monster's body. The power of the magic energy rifle was clearly above that of ordinary firearms. In the blink of an eye, the monster was shot into a sieve. However, its vitality was extremely tenacious. Its entire body was dripping with blood, but it still desperately pounced forward. The black adjutant put away his rifle and roared loudly. His Origin Energy surged, and his two fists were wrapped in cyan flames as he punched the monster in the head.
This smashed the monster's skull with a shattering sound, but the monster also left a few claw marks on the adjutant's body before its head drooped down and it died.
The adjutant retreated, his chest dripping with blood, and even his face was cut open. Fortunately, it was fine. The captain patted him on the shoulder, then turned around and killed the monster on the stairs. Under the cover of his team members, he raised his gun and shot out a few blood-red Origin Energy bullets one after another into the front of the monster's head with astonishing accuracy.
By the time he stopped, the monster had already closed its eyes and died, but the captain didn't feel happy at all. Looking at the two monsters covered in bullet holes, the captain felt uncomfortable. These things were too terrifying. They didn't know how to retreat at all, and their vitality was terrifyingly tenacious. If there were a few more of these monsters …
At this moment, the adjutant walked over and said, "Captain, don't you think these monsters are the same as the Burning Legion that the lord showed us?"
The captain nodded and said, "We have to go back."
"No more saving people?"
"I can't save them." The captain shook his head and said, "As you can see, we have to do our best with just two of these things. God knows how many more there are in this base. On the contrary, it's more important for us to send this message back. "
The adjutant nodded and suddenly raised his rifle and shouted, "Who's there?"
The captain raised his head and saw a figure appearing at the top of the stairs at some point. He turned on the flashlight on his helmet and shone it. The person who appeared in the pillar of light was a boy, twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a plaid shirt. Apart from the stains on his body, he was no different from the big children commonly seen in the countryside. The only difference was that he shouldn't have appeared in this grave-like base.
"Are you from Ivan Village?" The captain asked.
The boy didn't react at all.
The captain frowned and said, "We're here to save you, child. Tell us, why are you here? Who brought you here? "
"Him." The boy finally said.
"Him? Who is he? "
The boy didn't say anything. He just raised his hand and pointed behind the crowd. The captain turned around, but there was nothing behind him. When he turned around, he saw that the boy's body was twisting unnaturally. His thin body was expanding and then exploding like a balloon. Blood and tissue splashed all over the ground, and the captain and the adjutant were stuck to the boy's flesh. Then there was a monster where the boy was. It was the same as the previous monsters, only smaller. The monster raised its head and spewed out flames from the middle of its curved horns. Then, it silently pounced over.
The captain and the adjutant opened fire at the same time. The two magic weapons concentrated their firepower and strafed the monster back down the stairs. After confirming that it was dead, the two of them exchanged glances.
"How could this be? People have become monsters? Could it be that the villagers of Ivan Village have all become monsters? " There was already some fear in the adjutant's voice. "Could it be that what we just shot was actually a villager of Ivan Village?"
It wasn't impossible. The boy had already shown them how he had transformed from a human into a monster. If that was the case, it would be too terrifying. What exactly was in this base that could turn people into monsters?
"That's right, soldier." A low voice rose from the bottom of the stairs.
The captain and the adjutant turned around and saw that their soldiers were all lying on the stairs at some point. Behind them stood a man with a cloak over his head. His long black hair was emitting sparks that scattered around the man.
