Jinrui Hotel Station Arrival

At 6:30 pm, the Tianlong successfully arrived at the Jinrui Hotel station.

The journey was smooth except for the attack from the bat swarm, and there were no further attacks from other creatures.

The first step of this expedition consisted of a total of 164 people. Four soldiers from the security department, one member of the Awakening Squad, died in a bat swarm attack, and 36 others suffered varying degrees of minor injuries. Overall, everything went smoothly.

The subway tunnel is relatively closed and rarely visited by people, and there are not many insects, mice, and cockroaches coming. So the journey was relatively calm, even if encountering a fifth level mutated bat, it was because this thing had no experience in fighting with other creatures, and in addition, the body was mainly nurtured with energy changing crystals, and the mutated abilities were not enhanced in combat, so they could easily fight each other.

Along the way, they also passed through more than ten stations, but none of them dared to stop.

The fact proved that this decision was correct, because when they stopped at Jinrui Hotel Station and exploded the isolation door into the waiting hall, the insects living in the subway station immediately smelled human smell and flocked to them.

On the 23rd, there was a plan to use the gap in the exploded isolation door as a defensive barrier for the team. Those four harmful creatures such as cockroaches, ants, and mice could only enter through a narrow entrance and were immediately eliminated by intensive firepower. In the end, the remaining one-third of the creatures fled in a panic, which can be considered as clearing away a lot of threats.

The insect and beast corpses left on site have not been harvested much, and most of them are non mutated. And the mutations are only limited to primary mutations, with most of the crystals excavated from the body being first level, and a few of them barely reaching second level. No wonder they can't make waves in front of a powerful firepower net.

The situation at the industrial station is quite special. On the night of the micro scale disaster, construction happened to be underway, and multiple workers fell into a coma in the subway station. They were then swallowed by the gathering cockroaches and mice, which resulted in so many mutants.

Most other subway stations, on the other hand, have fewer people, and even if they provide a small amount of human flesh, they are not enough to support these creatures to form a group of mutant kings.

Compared to subway stations, urban streets are even more complex. Now that it is evening, the team naturally can only rely on the Tianlong as a defensive base, spend the night first, and then go up tomorrow to explore.

Moreover, the Tianlong also needs to adjust its cooling, and Yan Xuebing and other researchers need to analyze and organize the data of this trip as soon as possible to evaluate the operation of the Tianlong.

That night, they took turns and rested well because everyone knew that once they left the subway station, they would have to face a more complex environment and broader activity space. At that time, there might not be such a relatively safe place to rest.

Except for the patrolling soldiers, most people are huddled in the first carriage, after all, it is safer to avoid cockroaches suddenly touched from the dark or sucking mosquitoes descending from the sky.

Tom and others, dressed in the armor of the Awakened, slept directly in the open carriage number three when it was their turn to rest. With this alloy armor for protection, ordinary insects and mice are helpless.

During this period, Pan Mingda got to know Tom briefly, and Pan Mingda's personality suddenly caught Tom's appetite. In addition, being an imposing and responsible person made it difficult for Ouyang Haotian to identify any shortcomings for the time being. Liu Lian couldn't help but feel that it was not unreasonable for the Wild Wolf team to rank first.

The next day at 4 o'clock, the team gathered on time and put down two large cars and four small cars from the third carriage. Two Awakened Squads with more than ten soldiers began to explore the waiting hall on the negative first floor.

According to the map provided by the industrial station manager Lu Chen, they quickly found the escalator leading to the basement level. Tom, dressed in worker ant armor, was pulling several bundles of canvas rolls on the cart. He carried the rolls and jumped repeatedly to the top of the escalator, fixing the front end of the canvas rolls onto it. Then, he threw the entire bundle of canvas and let it roll down.

Wait for the canvas to roll down to the bottom, then Zhao Xin will tighten the canvas and fix the end with a tool. This creates a slope for the canvas on the escalator, allowing the electric vehicle to drive up through this slope.

This is a standard workflow that took a bit of time, but it was finally completed smoothly around 6:40. During this period, there were no other creatures to harass, so it seems that last night's door-to-door beating had to some extent deterred the greedy creatures in the subway station.

Then there is the waiting hall on the basement level, which is different from the industrial station. There is also a subway line on the basement level, which is still dark and cool. They turned around in the dark basement and traced the exit position according to the reference diagram. Then I walked through the long corridor and finally saw the long lost light.

It was still a long staircase, and Tom carried a canvas roll up the ground. The scenery outside the subway station surprised Tom greatly. There were green grass and vines everywhere, and the degree of desolation was even deeper than in the industrial area. Especially those unknown green vines have covered more than half of the adjacent building in just half a year, so there is no reason for them to grow so fiercely.

"Tom, hurry up!" The 23rd loudly reminded Tom below to quickly regain his composure. The most important thing at the moment is to do the things on hand first, so he untied the canvas roll, fixed the front end to a ground, then untied the rope and rolled the canvas roll down.

Zhao Xin immediately got busy below, while Tom tightened the canvas on the top side according to the old rules, making it easier to cooperate with him below. However, although he was doing his job, his vigilance was not low at all. Suddenly, the corner of his eye caught sight of a commotion in the tall grass behind him. He immediately turned around and picked up his assault rifle to aim for warning.

"Ange, alright, I'm ready to pull!" Zhao Xin shouted below.

"Wait, if there's a situation, let me... bang... bang..." Tom was responding when a green figure suddenly jumped out of the grass. He pulled the trigger without hesitation, but the opponent's speed was too fast and his marksmanship was not good. He only fired two bullets before being knocked down head-on.

"Alert! Zhao Xin, go up and help. The others are steadily advancing!" On the 23rd, upon hearing Tom shoot, he immediately reacted and decisively ordered Zhao Xin to use his speed to come up and support, while the others could only climb up the stairs step by step.

This is a big grasshopper that pounced on Tom at an extremely fast speed, and then used its chewing mouthpiece to nibble on Tom's head.

Unfortunately, Tom was wearing alloy armor at the moment, and this mouthpiece, which had not undergone any mutation reinforcement, had no choice but to deal with it. On the contrary, he was knocked over by Tom's punch, then squatted up and pulled out a shapeshifting knife, starting and falling with one hand, and tilted his head open.

By the time Zhao Xin jumped up, Tom had already cut open the body of the grasshopper and did not find any crystals inside. Immediately, he took out a level 1 yellow crystal from the storage area under the armpit of the worker ant armor and dipped it into the body fluids of the grasshopper.

"Is it mutated?" Zhao Xin asked curiously.

"No, the crystal didn't react. This grasshopper hasn't mutated."

Zhao Xin immediately turned back and shouted below, "Commander, a mutated grasshopper attacked Tom and has been killed by him!"

On the 23rd, a new command was issued decisively through the loudspeaker: "Chen Guo, your five person team is responsible for assisting Tom on the alert. The others come down and continue with the slope operation!"

So five soldiers climbed up, holding guns and guarding the surroundings, allowing Tom to concentrate and cooperate with Zhao Xin below to tighten the canvas, making the long slope on the stairs even tighter.

Just as Zhao Xin shouted, "Inspection completed, slope layout completed!", the soldiers who helped Tom guard discovered a new situation.

The grass continued to rustle, and then green figures jumped out one by one.

The soldiers opened fire decisively, while Tom consciously held a large knife and guarded the side, responsible for eliminating the grasshoppers that were rushing towards them.

These five soldiers are well-trained and their marksmanship is still very accurate. A few grasshoppers had just jumped out when they were knocked out and dropped in the air.

The remaining one did not have the strong jumping power of the first one just now, and left the grass to land more than twenty centimeters away from them. This used to be equivalent to a distance of over 5 meters. The size of a grasshopper is similar to that of a dog, making it easier to fight.

So only three grasshoppers approached, but were all beaten to the ground by Tom one by one and handed over to a soldier to kill with a rifle.

The low sound of the electric engine suddenly came behind, and it was the 23rd person riding two small electric vehicles with the others who came up. At this time, the war had ended, and the five soldiers were extremely excited.

"Ha ha, it's really his mother cool. More to let me kill enough."

"Isn't that right? It's dark below, and it's not satisfying to fight at all. The sunny battlefield is even more exciting."

Tom checked the bodies of the grasshoppers one by one and confirmed that there were no mutations. "The situation outside the subway station is still optimistic for the time being," he said

On the 23rd, he jumped out of the car and checked it. He immediately nodded and said, "That's right, after all, this is on the street. The micro disaster occurred at 2 o'clock in the morning, and even if there are not many people on the street, the way organisms here obtain human flesh is limited, and the number of mutations is naturally small. However, these plants are growing too vigorously, which is not a good sign."

"I remember it was marked as a level 6 danger zone, although it was only a scope assessment without on-site reconnaissance," Tom said. "But based on the strange situation we have seen so far, we still need to be cautious."

On the 23rd, he nodded and agreed, "Let's go, get down, go back to the command center."

Five soldiers all got on the car, but Zhao Xin ran over and picked up a grasshopper with a relatively intact body. He proudly said, "Roasted grasshoppers are still very fragrant. Why don't we drag them back to replenish their nutrition?"

On the 23rd, it made some sense to think about it, so Zhao Xin carried four more grasshopper corpses and threw them into the car. Then he drove down, leaving Tom and Zhao Xin, two armored first-class soldiers, to jump off.

They had to get down before getting on the big car and rushing back.

This journey was also quite smooth, thanks to the elimination of a large number of insects and mice last night. The creatures that were beaten away now can only hide in the hidden corners of the subway station, probably all flowing, but the water is watching them in and out with fear.
