Chapter 284 Bad News
Wang Xiao ultimately chose to desert, while the rest of the people followed Fang Ce and continued on their way.
With one person missing from the team, everyone was clearly in a bad mood.
After walking a long way, they finally arrived at the armory where the patrolling soldiers retrieved their weapons.
The warehouse door was wide open, with half of it lying on the ground, and the inside was also dilapidated.
The situation was urgent, and the non-mutated members of the patrol didn't have time to grab many weapons before rushing to provide support. Many weapons remain here.
Miao Yin casually picked up a gun from the ground, turned the trigger, and found that it operated smoothly without jamming and was still usable.
The armory was heavily guarded, and the patrol teams inside used some of the best weapons available in the country.
These rifles are not to be underestimated.
"Everyone, take a look and see if there's anything useful. It might come in handy later," Fang Ce said.
Although my weapons and equipment were full, I could still manage to carry one or two guns and extra bullets.
If I don't have enough, it can last for a while.
So everyone started looking for practical weapons, and basically everyone got a pistol and two magazines.
They're wearing protective suits right now, so it's really inconvenient for them to add things.
But Miao Yin is different.
There is another back door on the other side of the warehouse, which leads to the soldiers' internal passage and connects to other districts.
Fang Ce beckoned several people over, and they began to discuss how to open the door.
No one noticed that the submachine guns and rifles that were inconvenient to take away were disappearing one by one, falling into Miao Yin's space.
Tu Hao rummaged through several locked cabinets, and with a strong twist of his hand, he broke the locks off.
When I opened the cabinet and swept the light across it, I found rows and rows of hand grenades inside.
He raised an eyebrow, clearly quite pleased with his little discovery. He shone his flashlight on Miao Yin, gesturing for her to come over.
“It would be a waste not to take it,” he said in a voice only the two of them could hear.
Then, he took three grenades from inside, put them in the small bag on his waist, and got up to leave.
Miao Yin crouched down, flicked her palm over the grenades, and a dozen or so grenades fell into the space.
Perfect timing, let's replenish the supplies for Guanyin Temple.
"boom."
The door over there opened.
The internal passageways are mainly used to transport weapons to resupply administrative districts, so they are not as transparent as the outside passageways.
Miao Yin glanced at the doors that had just been forcibly pulled open from both sides. From the warehouse, there seemed to be no problem on this side, but from the other side, there were many obvious scratches.
"There are usually people working in the internal passageways, right?" she asked.
“Yes, soldiers usually exchange items here,” Fang Ce replied.
"It seems there's no way to avoid it."
"what?"
Tu Hao pointed to both sides of the passage: "I didn't feel it much when I asked outside, but it's clear as soon as I came in. There are mutants on both sides now. Which way do you want to go?"
Fang Ce lowered his voice: "We should have gone to the right. We were attacked from both sides."
The outside stairs are inaccessible, the elevator is out of service, and there are deformed people in the internal passageways.
This is the worst luck imaginable.
“There’s no way to avoid it. Instead of constantly taking detours, let’s face it head-on. The mutants in these enclosed passages usually can’t find food, so their level isn’t too high. Let’s go take a look,” Miao Yin said.
"You're right. If all the paths are blocked, then the only way out is to fight face-to-face."
They were mentally prepared for this when they received the assignment.
Fortunately, as Miao Yin said, the mutant species sealed by the space was indeed not of a high level, only at the level of green crystal core.
Tu Hao snapped the other's head off in two minutes and extracted the crystal core to absorb.
The distance between the administrative district and Zone C is quite far. They navigated through a complex network of passageways, passing through one electronic door after another that required authorization to open.
At first, they had to figure out how to squeeze the door open and create a passageway that people could pass through.
Tu Hao got annoyed after a while. He stepped forward, pushed everyone in front of him aside, and tore open the iron gate with his bare hands.
Looking at the shattered door, the group exchanged helpless glances.
"Don't waste your time, aren't you bored staying in there?"
He already has very sensitive senses, and wearing a gas mask must have been incredibly stuffy. Now he had to stay in a poorly ventilated place, so naturally he wasn't in a good mood.
What does it matter if there's noise? Even if the noise is too loud and attracts monsters, just kill them all.
Miao Yin smiled but didn't say anything.
Tu Hao is actually a very smart person. He just has high combat skills, doesn't like to communicate with people, and is hot-blooded. He is the least willing to use his brain to solve things with a punch.
However, it is very convenient for her.
The consequence of violently tearing down the door was that the mutated species sleeping inside were all awakened, and they all chased after the source of the noise.
On one occasion, the long-eared mutant had just opened the door when it bit up, startling the team members behind it.
Tu Hao grabbed its head and slammed it against the wall, creating a large hole in the wall.
Then he tore it to shreds like he was tearing a door apart.
He An leaned closer and asked cautiously, "Sister, has he always been like this?"
Miao Yin shrugged: "Yeah, he's a violent maniac. He takes advantage of his strength and causes destruction everywhere. Everyone in our team is afraid of him. Oh right, when I first met him, he even choked me. It was really terrifying!"
Tu Hao: ?
He accidentally crushed the mutant's head with a tremor of his hand.
Miao Yin pointed a finger at him and said, "Look, he's starting to threaten people again. That's how mercenaries are; they treat human life like dirt. You should be careful too."
He An fell into thought. Although she said this, she didn't sound scared at all.
Besides, isn't she a very strong superpower user herself? Would she be threatened?
"You really……"
Tu Hao sighed and shook his head, too lazy to argue with her.
He dug out the crystal core, then tossed the limp body of the mutant aside, where it landed right at He An's feet.
He An shrank back and hid to the side, not wanting to provoke these two strange guys.
Finally, the destination appeared.
Looking at the huge letter C above, Tu Hao breathed a sigh of relief; it was really stuffy in there.
His wolf claws got stuck in the door crack, trying to tear the door open as before.
But for some reason, the moment my hand touched the door, a strange feeling flashed through my mind.
His predictions are always accurate, but this slight fluctuation was so minor as to be almost negligible.
But in any case, now that we've come this far, we can't leave the door closed.
"Tu Hao, what are you doing?"
His momentary hesitation did not escape Miao Yin's notice. She took a few steps forward to the door and watched his movements.
“It’s a bit strange, I can’t quite put my finger on it,” Tu Hao said.
Upon hearing this, Miao Yin closed her eyes and sensed it. Her keenness was cultivated, unlike Tu Hao's ability, which was of a special nature.
Her body told her that there was no noise or unsettling smell outside.
All I can say is that she is not currently aware of any danger to her life.
A flame appeared out of thin air, illuminating the channel with bursts of red light.
Miao Yin manipulated the molten fire, making it flow along the edge of the gate, as if it were about to launch an attack at any moment.
She said, "Open the door."
Tu Hao deftly tore open the door, and after a series of cracking sounds, a small part of Area C appeared before them.
It was still pitch black outside, and there was nothing there at all.
There was no sound, no one in sight; it was empty, like a wasteland.
But Tu Hao felt an extreme sense of discomfort.
The moment he stepped into Zone C, it felt as if something had scraped his head hard. Then, thousands of bees began buzzing in his head, and the stinging pain made his vision go black in waves.
He couldn't help but lean against the wall, and beneath the mask, all the color drained away.
"Depend on……"
"What's wrong with you?" The sudden situation put everyone on alert. Could it be some kind of attack they hadn't seen?
His fingernails scratched the wall, making a screeching sound.
He felt nauseous.
A thoughtful look flashed in Miao Yin's eyes. She stepped forward and removed the gas mask from Tu Hao's face, her cold palm touching his forehead.
...It's very hot.
A sudden cool sensation ran through my throbbing head, like a refreshing rain relieving the burning heat on my forehead, and soothing the agitation that had been suppressed by the constant buzzing of mosquitoes.
He couldn't help but rub his palm against hers, trying to get more coolness.
"His powers have been interfered with; he'll be fine after a while."
Just like when I first saw the lone white moth, my overly keen sense of danger became a double-edged sword.
She looked at the other person's pale face: "Aren't you going to stop using your powers?"
Tu Hao was so distressed that he couldn't make a sound. After a long while, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Danger foreseen... we can't stop alone."
His sensory abilities stem from the ferocious fangs that enhance his body; if he were to stop this perception of the outside world, it would be tantamount to giving up his enhancements.
Then he would be no different from an ordinary person.
So just bear with it, maybe things will get better once you get through it.
He gently pulled on Miao Yin's hand to make her put it down.
Ten minutes later, he finally got used to the feeling, leaned against the wall and chuckled to himself: "Sometimes I really don't know if this ability is good or bad."
"You've recovered?" Miao Yin asked.
“I’ve adapted, but the situation hasn’t changed.” He frowned as he described what he was experiencing.
“There is a very powerful mutant here. It is so dangerous that its presence completely overrides my sense of danger. Now, I can't sense any other mutants.”
The atmosphere immediately became tense upon hearing this.
"This is truly devastating news," Miao Yin calmly voiced everyone's sentiments.
