"Nice to meet you, Mr. Luo! My name is Hu Lianqing, a fire ability user. You can call me Lao Hu, "Hu Lianqing said excitedly, as if he had met his idol.
"My name is Xiao Baihong, a metal ability user. People who know me well call me Xiao Tiequan. Haha! "Xiao Baihong scratched his head in surprise.
"My name is Shen Jixing. My ability is air vibration. I'm glad to be working with you," Shen Jixing said calmly, with a hint of arrogance in his eyes.
Luo Yuan smiled and nodded. He could not help but think of Lin Xiaoji. They were the same kind of person.
"Xiao Shen's ability is not bad, but he's still far from reaching level five. Nice to meet you, Brother Luo. My name is Li Qingqing, a mysterious evolved person. I didn't expect you to be so young!" The only woman in the team said. She seemed to be very interested in Luo Yuan. Unfortunately, her appearance was below average. Other than her good figure, she was not attractive at all.
"My name is Peng Guohua, a physical evolved person. I'm good at defense. It's an honor to be your teammate," a big man said with a smile.
Luo Yuan subconsciously looked at him. He was tall and strong like a gorilla, giving off a strong vibe. He did not look fierce at all. Instead, he gave off an honest and honest vibe.
However, Luo Yuan frowned slightly. He could faintly feel that there was a trace of madness and distortion hidden in those smiling eyes, exuding a kind of crazy aura.
This problem was very common. After the cruel apocalypse, depression and darkness were the only themes in the world. Everyone had some kind of mental illness. It was especially obvious among the soldiers, so Luo Yuan did not think too much about it.
At this time, Xu Zhiqiang once again encouraged him, "Considering that this mission is very difficult, and the current situation is special, other than the fact that the compensation for the victims is indispensable, I will make an exception and make the decision. This time, we can reduce the payment by 30%, and Mr. Luo's share will be taken from the payment. I believe the higher-ups will not reject this."
Luo Yuan was the only one who could understand the meaning behind the last sentence.
Everyone's faces lit up with joy. When they were quietly calculating how much each of them would get, Luo Yuan realized that when evolved humans went on a mission, they had to hand over 50% of their loot to the upper echelons. After that, they would get a pitiful amount of loot.
Compared to the frontline soldiers, who would be rich as long as they could survive, the evolved humans here were a group of poor people. Of course, compared to ordinary people, they were much better off.
After receiving a satisfactory answer, the satisfied posthumans continued forward.
Xu Zhiqiang leaned over and said in a low voice with a solemn face, "What do you think?"
"Without a doubt, this is a fire-type mutated creature. Its strength … I can't guess, but I'm afraid it'll be very troublesome." Luo Yuan tried to cover it up. If they knew how powerful the mutated creatures were, they would lose their fighting spirit.
In his mind, these people were cannon fodder to attract the attention of the super creature.
Although he was much stronger than before and had absolute confidence in himself, Luo Yuan knew very well that any carelessness in the face of such a super creature would cost him his life.
Perhaps it was selfish of him, but even without him, they would still carry out the mission. They might even die because of it. The only thing he could do was to kill the mutated creature as soon as possible and save as many people as possible.
Xu Zhiqiang nodded with an ugly expression on his face. He felt a little uneasy in his heart. There was a faintly discernible oppressive aura around him, causing his chest to feel stuffy. A trace of regret suddenly appeared in his heart, but he forcefully suppressed it. He turned his head and asked in a low voice, "Please forgive me for being presumptuous, but what level is your strength?"
"Level five, maybe more. You know I just came to the reconstruction area recently, so I haven't had an accurate measurement."
Xu Zhiqiang looked at him, but he was expressionless. He could not analyze anything from his face. Just when he was about to test him again, something happened to the people in front.
"Chief Xu, Mr. Luo, there's a huge hole in front of us. Do you want to go down?"
The two of them were far behind the others as they were talking. The people in front of them had already entered the hall of the freight station.
"Let me take a look first!" Xu Zhiqiang said as he walked quickly.
Luo Yuan followed him. The hall of the freight station was huge. It was tens of thousands of square meters, and there were containers piled up like a small hill. Apparently, the goods here could not be moved in time when the insect tide came, so there were still half of the containers left in the warehouse. The hole that they found was in one of the empty corners.
Luo Yuan took a look. The hole was almost a hundred square meters in size, and it was connected to the train tunnel that was tens of meters underground. It was dark inside, as if there would be a monster coming out at any time. He could not help but feel goosebumps.
He rubbed the ground with his feet, and a pile of fine sand mixed with ashes was scraped up. The signs of desertification here were obviously more serious than the signs of the surroundings.
"The train track is down there. The mutated creature should be down there. Let's find a place to go down," Xu Zhiqiang said seriously.
The train track was tens of meters underground, so it was impossible for ordinary people to jump down directly. However, due to the collapse, a large amount of concrete had piled up to form a slope that led straight to the underground. It was not difficult for the evolved humans to jump down.
The few of them moved quickly, jumping and jumping as they walked into the giant tunnel at the bottom.
The environment there was enclosed, and the temperature of the tunnel was obviously higher. It was about 80 degrees Celsius, as if they had entered an oven.
Other than Luo Yuan and the fire evolved human called Hu Lianqing, the rest of them were blushing and sweating profusely.
As a fire evolved human, Hu Lianqing was like a fish in water in such a situation. Luo Yuan, on the other hand, was entirely because of the effect of the plasma underwear.
In fact, although Luo Yuan already knew that the equipment could defend against most energy attacks, and heat was also a form of energy, he did not expect the effect to be so good.
Other than feeling the heat on his exposed body, he did not feel anything wrong at all.
When he rolled up his sleeves, he found that the equipment was glowing faintly. Compared to when he saw it in the morning, the brightness had increased a lot. Obviously, it not only blocked the heat attack, but it was also absorbing the heat at the same time.
He put down his sleeves and gripped the hilt of his sword tightly. In this enclosed space, the aura of a super creature could no longer be concealed. It was as if a natural disaster had descended, or as if a dark cloud was pressing down on a city. Especially in this kind of pitch-black environment, it made people feel an endless sense of panic.
After taking a few steps, even the weakest light disappeared, and the surroundings became pitch-black. If it were not for the glow sticks that were thrown down along the way, even Luo Yuan's low-light vision would have been greatly affected.
After all, his eyes could not emit light, so he still had to rely on the reflection of light. In such an enclosed underground environment, even the weakest light could not pass through.
"What do you guys think is inside? Insects or monsters? "Xiao Baihong teased softly, but his voice could not help but tremble.
However, no one laughed at him. In fact, except for Luo Yuan, everyone was filled with fear.
"Shut up, don't make a sound!" Xu Zhiqiang's voice seemed to come from the bottom of his throat. It sounded a little hoarse, and there was an indescribable annoyance in his voice.
Suddenly, the surroundings became silent. Only the sound of everyone's footsteps and their own heartbeats could be heard. Occasionally, gravel would roll down from the nearby hole, which made everyone feel scared.
The passageway was very wide. From left to right, there were four railway tracks. Unlike the ordinary railways in his impression, these tracks were very wide. Visually, each track was more than two meters long. The entire passageway was nearly twenty meters wide and six meters high.
Luo Yuan noticed that there was a deep scratch on the wall on the left, and there was some frozen liquid left on it.
This creature seemed to be injured, just like the mutated insects that had separated from the main group. Hence, it had to stay there.
Thinking about this, Luo Yuan could not help but let out a sigh of relief. No matter what, an injured mutated beast was easier to deal with than an intact one.
Suddenly, the group of people turned the corner of the tunnel, and all of them stopped at the same time. Suddenly, their bodies seemed to be petrified.
The intense fear almost made their hearts stop beating.
They saw a bright light not far in front of them. With the help of the weak light, a huge creature leaped into everyone's eyes.
It exuded a strong sense of pressure. A pair of large pincers with flame-like long hair curled up against the rails. It didn't look much smaller than the rails. Its slender golden armored wings were like summer cicadas. It rested gently on its body, and it had a golden texture. Its tail even had a stinger that was as long as its body. It was pitch-black, and it made one's heart beat faster just by looking at it.
It was lying quietly on the ground, motionless. Its whole body was emitting a weak fluorescent light. As its body moved up and down, the light on the surface of the tunnel resonated with it. Although it had not stood up yet, it was still more than five meters tall. Its back was almost touching the dome of the tunnel, blocking the entire huge tunnel. Even looking at it from afar, it still gave off a strong sense of oppression.
