The further he went, the thicker the fog became. When he was halfway up the mountain, the visibility was less than two meters.
Jiang Chen stepped on the muddy road and walked up the mountain. He threw away his raincoat and revealed the pitch-black kinetic skeleton hidden underneath.
As the tactical helmet fell, the light blue light curtain spread out on the screen, and everything in his field of vision gradually became clear. Although there was still a slight difference from daytime, it was no longer a hindrance. Jiang Chen opened the safety, loaded the rifle, and secretly increased his alertness.
Everything here was full of strangeness.
Logically speaking, it was difficult for rain and fog to appear at the same time, especially heavy rain.
Through the heavy fog, Jiang Chen walked to the end of the road. It was a resort, but from the size, no one would think it was wrong to say it was a small town. The sign on the side of the road drooped, and rust mottled the emerald green surface.
However, Jiang Chen could still see a few lines of words from the remaining white paint.
[Destination: Datun Mountain Resort]
"Is this the place?"
As he muttered, Jiang Chen opened the holographic map and confirmed the coordinates. The map given to him by Mole had been scanned into an electronic file, including the password to enter the underground nuclear power plant, which was also recorded in his watch.
In front of him, the mist-filled resort looked quite creepy, just like the ghost towns in horror movies.
A word abruptly popped up in Jiang Chen's head.
Silent Hill?
After taking a closer look, it did look similar, but it was only similar.
As a firm "materialist warrior", Jiang Chen didn't believe in ghosts and gods. Although this obviously abnormal town made his scalp numb, he still stepped forward along the muddy road.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt a feeling of being watched.
He turned around abruptly and raised the muzzle, but there was nothing but a thick gray fog.
"Is it an illusion?"
Jiang Chen muttered to himself as he slowly lowered the muzzle of the rifle.
The billboard of the resort was already crooked on the side of the road, and the windows on both sides of the street were dark. If it wasn't for the radio life detection device confirming that there was no one there, he would definitely not dare to step on this street.
Without bothering with these suspicious houses, Jiang Chen followed the route on the map and went straight to an abandoned hospital.
When he passed through the gate, he noticed that there were many luxury cars parked in the garage.
It could be seen that this resort, located in the nature park, was very popular with the rich before the war.
According to the information given to him by the mole, the entrance to the nuclear power plant was here.
Standing at the entrance of the hospital's main building, Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, then took out the drone terminal from the storage dimension and deployed it at the entrance of the hospital. Although he hadn't seen any danger since he entered the resort, this strange atmosphere made him not dare to let his guard down.
A dozen Hummingbird drones flew out of the drone terminal and explored the corners of the hospital. The orange-yellow light gave off a beige glow under the haze of the fog. Although it was still not very pleasing to the eye, it was a lot better than before.
Armed with a rifle, he stepped into the hospital. Accompanied by drones, Jiang Chen carefully examined every corner.
The hall was very messy, chairs were tilted to the ground, and documents were scattered everywhere. However, from this ordinary scene on the wasteland, Jiang Chen still found something unusual.
It was too clean here, and he didn't even see a single corpse!
This was very abnormal.
The outbreak of the war was very sudden. Even if Yizhou Island, a coastal area close to the front line, was not targeted by NATO missiles, there would certainly not be much time left for the locals to evacuate. And then he suddenly remembered that there were a lot of cars parked in the hospital garage.
This also showed that when the war broke out, the people in the hospital didn't leave at all.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
But where did they go?
Passing through the gloomy corridor, the humid air had a strong musty smell. Opening the filter on the tactical helmet, Jiang Chen felt his nose feel a little better.
The entrance to the nuclear power plant was in the basement.
However, the closer Jiang Chen got to the goal, the more nervous he became. So far, he still hadn't encountered the so-called danger. Of course, he would not be optimistic that today, five years later, would be different. If this was the case, why didn't the people from Fallout Shelter 79 come again?
There was nothing more disturbing than the unknown.
Pushing open the door of the basement, Jiang Chen threw a flare in, raised his rifle, and dashed into the door. The muzzle waved around vigilantly.
Old medical equipment was piled up in the corner of the basement, and it looked like no one had been here for a long time.
Lowering the muzzle slightly, Jiang Chen opened the holographic map, confirmed the specific location of the fallout shelter entrance, and carefully approached the left wall of the basement. He reached up along the tiles, stopped at the seventh tile from the left, and pressed down.
As Mole suggested on the back of the map, there was a hidden mechanism behind the tiles.
A pale orange holographic screen emerged from the wall and stopped in front of Jiang Chen. He keyed in the password, and the floor shook slightly. The pile of medical equipment made a clanking sound, and a small path that was neither too wide nor too narrow opened up.
[Is it finally here?]
Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief and clicked on his watch, ready to call Lin Lin to go up the mountain. Moving nuclear power facilities required the guidance of Lin Lin, an expert. Messing with the equipment inside could cause special situations, which was why he brought her to Yizhou Island.
The holographic screen unfolded, but at this moment, his fingers froze in the air.
On the wall, he saw a shadow.
It was a raised axe …
Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Chen leaped to the side, rolled on the ground, and took out the nitrogen shield and laser pistol from the storage dimension.
The arm-length axe slammed into the wall and smashed the tiles into pieces.
Jiang Chen's pupils contracted.
The figure was as ethereal as smoke, and the only thing that could be seen was the axe.
"Buzz —"
The sound of electricity passed by his ears. After the blow missed, the figure moved quickly, and the axe in its hand fiercely swung at Jiang Chen.
The high-pressure airflow instantly expanded and bounced the axe to the side. At the same time, the blue laser bullets suddenly sprayed out like raindrops, and the short-range firepower advantage of the laser gun was maximized! The rain of laser bullets instantly covered the dark shadow and all the dodging space around it.
Of the laser bullets, at least ten of them hit the target.
The shadow screamed, but it still didn't lose its ability to move.
Taking advantage of the gap between the firepower, it leaped backward, and the smoke-like figure immediately merged into the fog in the corridor.
Jiang Chen immediately chased after it, and at the same time, the Hummingbird drone also followed.
However, when he stood in the corridor and turned on the life signal detection device, he unexpectedly discovered something.
Light blue ripples swept across, but the screen was blank. There was no trace of mutants or human activity at all …
A faint chill rose in his heart, and Jiang Chen's brows furrowed slightly.
That dark shadow, what was it?
