"The military fallout shelter was built in the middle of the last century. It was originally a large bomb shelter. At the beginning of the disaster, the military paid the price of countless lives to restart it. In just a few days, it was transformed into a fallout shelter that could accommodate millions of people. "
Zhou Rong turned on the tablet and clicked to enlarge it. The screen showed an intricate floor plan.
"The fallout shelter is dug down to eleven levels. It is in the shape of a cone and is divided into five areas. Area A on the east is mainly for the victims of the disaster. Area B on the west is centralized management, communication, and energy supply. Area C on the south is the garrison and the armory. Area D in the center is the underground drainage system and the transportation hub. "
"Area E on the north is the most important and has the highest level of secrecy. It is responsible for medical quarantine and biological virus research."
"As the top secret unit 118, our identity key allows us to enter the entire area A, B, D, and part of Area C. When we are recruited, we can enter Area E under restricted conditions. It is the biological research institute that is suspected to have lost control of the virus outbreak."
Zhou Rong drew a line on the map and said:
"Our initial plan is to enter the central area through the drainage system. Then, we will split into two groups. One group will follow the underground light rail line to the armory in Area B." He made a mark on the map and said: "To transport supplies and reload ammunition, it is best to get an armored vehicle. This group will be led by Yan Hao, followed by Xiangzi and Ding Shi. "
"The other group will follow me to Area C to check the situation. The goal is to use the satellite communication facilities in the base to contact other military fallout shelters. If necessary, enter Area E and obtain the latest information on the virus before the fall of the biological research institute. This is to preserve the fire for other institutions to continue their research in the future. "
Zhou Rong looked around and asked: "This group will be led by me, followed by Chun Cao and Ying Jie. Does anyone have any questions? "
In the armored vehicle, the special forces squatted in a circle on the ground.
Outside the car window, the last ray of light was slowly sinking into the ground. Birds covered the sky and the earth. Night was coming, and the collapsed buildings of the fallout shelter gradually disappeared into the shadows.
Sinan raised her hand. Zhou Rong pointed with a pen: "Comrade Xiao Si, please speak."
Comrade Xiao Si asked: "Which group should I follow?"
"Which group do you want to join?"
Sinan stared at the map on the tablet without saying a word. After a while, Yan Hao coughed and said to Zhou Rong, "The Armory is less dangerous, so we don't need four people. Da Ding is yours. Sinan, come with us. "
Zhou Rong neither agreed nor expressed his opinion. He asked Sinan, "What do you think? Choose for yourself. "
Sinan was silent for a long time. Only the sound of breathing could be heard in the carriage. After an unknown amount of time, or perhaps only a few seconds, Lin Sanjiu suddenly heard his hoarse and curt voice.
"I'll follow you."
He didn't look at anyone when he said this, but Yan Hao instantly knew that he was talking about Zhou Rong.
"Very good, the grouping is complete!" Zhou Rong tucked the military tablet under his armpit. Huoran stood up.
"Everyone, please stay alert. Bring your equipment and set off!"
With a muffled boom, the underground and sewer pipeline was blasted open. A foul stench accompanied by miserable howls from the depths of the underground rushed into their faces.
Everyone pulled down their gas masks at the same time. Zhou Rong coughed a few times due to the fumes. He pointed his index finger forward and motioned for everyone to follow closely. Then, he took the lead and jumped into the black water that was as deep as his calves.
The pipeline extended downwards at a steeper angle. The dirty water gradually rose up to their thighs. It was so dark underground that they couldn't see their own fingers. Only the searchlight on their helmets could be seen.
The seven of them waded forward in a line. The tunnel became wider and wider. The sound of water splashing could be heard.
"Hey," Spring Grass, who was second in line, couldn't stand it anymore and broke the silence, "Our mission is so dangerous. Let's have a chat before we part."
The muffled howls of zombies could be heard faintly from afar. They wasted no time in answering her question.
"…"
Sinan behind Spring Grass was seriously moxibushing immortal giant clam angrily pang 13 benzene Φ decayed skeleton, thumb tail swaying o wink handsome
"But it's especially dangerous this time."
"Then what should we talk about?"
Spring Grass thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about why we joined Unit 118. I got the recruitment letter and thought it was cool. What about you, Brother Rong?"
Zhou Rong led the way in front of her and said without turning his head, "The salary is high."
Ding Shi said honestly, "I'm the same as Brother Rong."
Guo Weixiang said, "I can prove myself!"
Yan Hao said, "… The promotion in the special forces is fast."
"My wife and children can follow the army." Zhang Yingjie said embarrassedly, "The local special forces I was in only had one vacation a year. Brother Rong said that if I transferred to Unit 118, he could arrange a confidential job for my wife and send my children to the military primary school …"
"Sister-in-law isn't in this shelter, is she?!" Guo Weixiang asked in surprise.
"No, she went back to her hometown in the northeast when the incident happened." Zhang Yingjie sighed and said, "It should be winter in my hometown now. The weather is cold and the zombies are weak. The vegetables in the cellar of every family can last for a whole winter … I hope they're still safe."
Everyone was silent for a while. Zhang Yingjie seemed to regret making the atmosphere more solemn, so he changed the topic, "What about Sinan? I've never heard you talk about yourself. You have a good family background, right? "
Sinan silently hid behind the gas mask. After a while, he said, "I don't remember."
This answer made everyone instantly think of countless things, from the breakdown of the original family to the rebellious leaving of the children, to the problems of youth education … After a few back and forth, they finally heard Sinan's voice again. He added, "I really don't remember."
"What about your parents?" Yan Hao asked from the back of the line.
"I forgot," Sinan said indifferently.
The atmosphere was even weirder than before.
"No problem, Comrade Xiao Si. Now that you've joined Unit 118, Sixth Squadron, you're a part of our big family of unity and friendship! When we go back, remember to remind me to give you a permanent position. Is there anything you need the organization to take care of you? For example, arrange for your girlfriend to follow the army, or send your child to the military kindergarten? Do you have an emergency contact? "
"…" Sinan said, "No."
"Then you'll have to have one," Zhou Rong said regretfully as he stepped on a step at the bottom of the water.
They had reached the end of the pipe. In front of them was a stone wall covered in moss. Above them was a sewer opening that was emitting a cool breeze.
Zhou Rong pried open the manhole cover with a military dagger and grabbed the edge of the manhole with both hands. "Hey!" He pulled himself up and rolled out of the manhole with a splash of water.
"Central District Light Rail Blue Line Underground Tunnel Terminal," Zhou Rong looked around and said softly, "It's safe. Come up."
The six team members lined up and climbed up. Everyone was dripping wet and smelled terrible.
"If you're successful, the organization will send your pension to your emergency contact …" Chun Cao explained to Sinan in a low voice, "If you need help, they'll also help you arrange work and take care of the elderly …"
Zhou Rong turned on his tactical flashlight and carefully observed the situation around him.
They were at the back of the control room at the end of the railway. It was not a big place and was covered in thick layers of dust and wires. It was sealed off from outer space by an iron fence. Since the light rail had been out of service for a long time, the power supply and ventilation systems were no longer in operation. Even with a flashlight, it was difficult to see what was behind the iron fence.
"There's something I don't understand," Sinan finally asked Chun Cao, "What exactly is Unit 118?"
This question was not complicated, but it was not simple either. Chun Cao was about to answer when she paused and said, "Uh … you can think of it as a very powerful special force. It's responsible for state secrets, similar to the king of soldiers in the special forces."
Sinan nodded slowly to show his understanding. After a moment, he asked cautiously and politely, "Is it difficult to be selected as a Beta?"
The whole team was silent.
"None of you have been drugged, right? Didn't you say that special forces must be Alpha?"
After a moment of suffocating silence, Zhou Rong finally said slowly, "… Who did you hear this from?"
Sinan sold out the source of the information without any hesitation, "Feng Wentai's bodyguards."
Zhou Rong immediately refuted him.
"This is nonsense, it's completely jealousy and rumors! Are we the same kind of people as those stupid alphas?! "
His tone was resolute and his words were powerful. The whole team opened their mouths in unison. After a long while, Guo Weixiang finally said with a trembling voice, "I … I've never admired Brother Rong as much as I do now …"
Chun Cao covered her face and asked, "Is Brother Rong's face thick?"
On the other side, Sinan thought about it and was convinced, "I really shouldn't have believed them."
Zhou Rong was very satisfied with Sinan's apology and said earnestly, "In our team …"
He pulled apart the tangled wires blocking the road, used the screwdriver behind the dagger to unscrew the nails one by one, and said:
"We pay great attention to the combination of personal accomplishment and team spirit, understand? Not only do you have to obey the organization unconditionally, but you also have to have excellent individual combat effectiveness and tenacious spirit. We firmly believe that every gender is born the same, as long as you are willing to challenge your limits, you can surpass the genetic difference between Alpha and Beta … "
He removed the last nail and shook the heavy iron fence. The clanging sound spread far and wide in the tunnel.
"For example, I, Brother Rong, have never felt that Alpha has any superiority. Brother Rong only respects people who work hard, and all genders are equal in my eyes except for Omega … "
Zhou Rong turned around and kicked back like lightning. The sound of the wind was fierce, heavy, and fierce, and in an instant, the hundreds of kilograms of pig iron fence was kicked out!
Clang!!
The iron gate fell to the ground and set off a series of echoes that instantly resounded throughout the tunnel!
"That's it." Zhou Rong retracted his leg and said politely to Sinan.
Sinan answered him with a completely blank expression.
Zhou Rongyi was the first to get in through the iron gate. As soon as he stepped on the tracks, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he looked down.
The next moment, he crawled back on all fours like crazy. When he landed, he staggered and hugged Sinan, yelling, "So many f * cking cockroaches!!"
Si Nan snatched the tactical flashlight from his hand. "Where's the gender equality we agreed upon?"
Sinan didn't have any psychological barriers at all. He carried a tactical backpack, a submachine gun, and a flashlight in his mouth as he nimbly flipped onto the tracks. Just like Zhou Rongyi, he looked down at his feet.
The next second, he raised his head. Everyone saw the tactical flashlight in his mouth quickly turning left and right with his movements. The frequency was a little strange. Then, he unloaded his submachine gun and opened fire with a bang!
Everyone: "Ahhhhh …"
Bullets flew in the narrow space, and bullet shells flew everywhere. Sparks flickered on the ground, creating a dazzling light. A few seconds later, the rainstorm of gunfire finally stopped. Smoke filled the air, and the pungent smell was suffocating. The sound of vomiting rose and fell one after another.
Sinan looked back with a pale face, "The underground insects are bigger …"
Zhou Rong shouted, "Stop talking!"
In the underground world where there was no sunlight, the sewers that had been rotten for a long time, and the space that was full of garbage, mold, and dust, the environment had formed a terrifying ecosystem.
Three minutes later, the group crossed the tracks and began to move toward the central transportation hub.
"I just wasn't mentally prepared …"
"Brother Rong, stop talking. It's really okay."
Zhou Rong led the way with a pale face. Spring Grass comforted him from time to time. Zhang Yingjie laughed behind him, "Brother Rong has trypophobia. It's a psychological shadow left from previous missions. Although he can overcome it most of the time, he can still feel it occasionally. Hahaha … "
Sinan said coldly, "I just want to know what 'all genders are equal except for Omega' means. I guess if it was another Omega, he wouldn't have acted like Zhou Rong just now. By the way, can you give me another magazine? … "
The group of seven smoothly passed the checkpoint. After walking along the light rail line for half an hour, the tunnel ahead suddenly opened up.
The design of this large air-raid shelter was that even if the shelter fell and the main power supply was cut off, the backup power supply was enough to maintain basic ventilation and lighting of the main area.
In front of them was a hub space similar to a subway station. On the left side of the platform, there was a pale light. They could vaguely hear the dragging footsteps and howls of zombies. On the right side, there was a track that extended into the darkness. Zhou Rong turned his head and gestured to Yan Hao, who was at the end of the group.
The track led to the south side, Area C, which was the armory.
Zhou Rong's group had to get on the platform here and go to the west side, Area B, to find the satellite communication center.
They had to part ways here.
Yan Hao nodded, led Ding Shi and Guo Weixiang across the tracks, and walked into the depths of the tunnel with a flashlight.
Zhou Rong stood still and gestured for Spring Grass, Sinan, and Zhang Yingjie to surround him. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw Yan Hao not far away turn back and walk straight to Sinan.
"…?"
Sinan frowned slightly, but before he could ask, Yan Hao suddenly reached out and gave him a tight and passionate hug.
Under everyone's gaze, the hug was so long that even Sinan was stunned.
No one spoke, and no one moved. Zhou Rong silently looked down.
After more than ten seconds, Yan Hao let go of his hand, took half a step back, and looked at Sinan with a smile.
The smile was a little sad, but Yan Hao's expression was always gentle. His eyes were bright, and his lips were gentle. He was a well-educated and considerate big brother next door.
Then he waved his hand, held the tactical flashlight, and walked into the depths of the tunnel.
