I have no pheromones, you smelled wrong

Amidst the strange sounds that were approaching, Heinrich nodded slightly.

This is not the sound of machinery and wind, it is at least a living creature with vocal cords and breathing.

Lin Xu continued with his mouth: "Close the door."

Heinrich gently closed the door, the hiss of the monsters kept getting closer, and the sound of footsteps echoed in the long and empty corridor. If they were biped creatures, judging from the sound of their footsteps, the number would be around four.

But the door lock has been damaged by light energy bombs, unable to resist the invasion of monsters, and this living room has no way to the outside except the door.

Lin Xu began to quickly search Yan Yuan's desk, drawers and wardrobe, and put all the paper products for writing in his backpack. He no longer worried about the sound of pulling the drawers and cabinet doors. Zombies smelled people and would find them no matter what. Come here, it doesn't make much sense to continue to cover up.

Heinrich immediately understood, turned around and used a laser knife to break open the rest of the safe, and took out the documents in the cabinet.

All the documents were packed and sealed in kraft paper bags. On the cover were Chinese characters that Heinrich could not read. Regardless of the meaning of the characters, he stuffed them all into his backpack.

Lin Xu checked Yan Yuan's wardrobe with his back turned to Heinrich. The abnormal noise in the corridor continued to amplify, but a few rough white papers mixed in the brown leather bag suddenly attracted Heinrich's gaze.

This is a pen sketch. Heinrich paused after pulling out the paper from the file. He looked up at Lin Xu, then lowered his head, and the portrait on the sketch gradually overlapped with Lin Xu's face.

Pretty much the same.

Standing posture, sitting posture, various angles and details are carefully depicted.

A painting from 3000 years ago...

The zombie approached Yan Yuan's room extremely, and Lin Xu could already hear the sound of the zombie's sharp nails scratching the wall. He quickly turned around and walked around Heinrich, pushing Yan Yuan's desk to the front of the door against half of the door.

Shila-

The zombie's claws slapped the door, and the sharp sound sent chills down Lin Xu's back. Countless memories flooded his mind, and the familiar smell of corpses wafted in through the damaged cavity of the door lock, making people sick.

Heinrich put away all the drawing paper and file bags, and he stepped forward, but Lin Xu stopped him behind him.

After Lin Xu's arm hit Heinrich's powered exoskeleton, he suddenly remembered that Marshal Chu was not a charming old human from the ancient earth. He turned his head and said, "Outside is..."

When the words came to his mouth, Lin Xu found that there was no word corresponding to zombies or zombies in the imperial language, so he had to replace them: "The humanoid monsters outside only have attack instincts, strong physical fitness, and the weak point is the brain. The highly infectious virus they carry will pass through Blood spread, no cure for infection, don't get scratched."

Bang—the zombie punched a dent on the door, the desk was shaken back a few centimeters, and the rotten and blackened skin of the zombie was exposed in the gap.

Lin Xu stopped talking. He stared intently at the door of the house, and with his left hand, he made a standard gesture of aiming a gun to Heinrich.

The next moment, Lin Xu took a few steps back and kicked the other half of the door that was not blocked by Zhuo Feiqi. The metal hinge broke instantly, and the door collapsed, directly pressing down on the zombie who was knocking on the door.

The zombie tried to resist the heavy alloy door panel, Lin Xu stepped on the door panel tilted at 45° and pressed on the zombie's head, and crushed the zombie to the ground with his body weight and the weight of the exoskeleton.

In the blink of an eye, another zombie swung its claws over. Lin Xu jumped forward, rolled twice to avoid the zombie's sharp claws, raised his gun on his back to the zombie's head, pulled the trigger, and the bright blue light energy After the bullet hit the zombie's forehead, it melted its rotten skin into blood, but failed to penetrate the skull!

Lin Xu's eyes sank, he quickly rolled up, pulled out the refined steel short knife and raised his hand to cut off the zombie's claws that were grabbing the tip of the nose.

"Change the blasting gun!" Lin Xu shouted at Heinrich.

The main lethality of light energy bullets is high temperature burns, and the impact force is weak, not enough to break the hard skull of A-level zombies.

After Heinrich's blow to the head of another zombie was ineffective, he quickly pierced the zombie's knee with a light energy bullet, weakening the zombie's mobility, but the zombie couldn't feel the pain, and its upper limbs were still attacking fiercely.

According to Lin Xu's words, he switched to a blasting gun with strong bullets. He drew the gun and loaded it the moment the zombie roared and crawled, and pulled the trigger without hesitation, blowing the zombie's head into a pool of blackened blood.

At the same time, Lin Xu's condition was not very good.

He was holding a short knife and was besieged by two A-level zombies. The short knife produced by the Imperial Military Factory had excellent strength and toughness. skull.

Therefore, his attack target is the zombie's neck, the small gap where the cervical spine connects.

The two zombies rushed towards him in a siege. Lin Xu stepped on the abdomen of one of them to use his strength to fly into the air, and with the falling gravity, the horizontal knife accurately cut off the cervical spine of the other, and cut off its head entirely.

The zombie kicked by him raised its claws and pressed Lin Xu's ankle, trying to shake him off!

bang bang-

The muzzle spit out two sparks in succession, and the blasting bullet smashed the zombie's head into a cloud of blood mist. The deafening gunshots echoed infinitely in the corridor, like a giant bell ringing.

Lin Xu kicked away the zombie's claws and jumped up. Heinrich had just put down the blasting gun, and the blue smoke from the gun's muzzle had not completely dissipated, lingering around Heinrich's tiger's mouth with the smell of gunpowder smoke.

Lin Xuwu looked at him with gray eyes, pursed his lips and nodded, then lowered his head and used the tip of the knife to plan the brains of the two A-level zombies who had not been headshot, and turned out the crystal nucleus.

He wasn't used to facing zombies side by side with people.

"This is... a mutant human?" Heinrich stepped over the corpse and came to Lin Xu's side.

"That's right." Lin Xu explained with a serious face, "After being infected with the mutated virus, human beings will quickly lose consciousness and vital signs, just like a corpse, but they can continue to move, and their physical fitness has even been enhanced. Their existence has only one purpose —eating humans. Viruses that mutate plants and animals do not infect humans, but they also feed on humans.”

Lin Xu followed the footprints left by the zombies in the corridor all the way into the darkness, "I also thought these 'moving corpses' were extinct."

He found a phrase to refer to zombies.

There are no roars or heavy footsteps in the whistling wind, but the silent unknown is even more frightening.

Lin Xu continued: "After checking the remaining single rooms, I need to check the source of the zombies."

"Okay." Heinrich did not raise any objections.

The breath around Lin Xu's body completely cooled down, and his eyes, which he usually glanced casually and casually, became as sharp as ice at this moment, leaving no room for rejection in his posture and words.

But he is not like Marshal Chu in military uniform, standing on the bridge with hands behind his hands, he is more like a hunter in the wilderness, walking alone, facing the most primitive and imminent breath of death.

Of the remaining single rooms, only two had some items left. Lin Xu and Heinrich gathered all the items in the room and took them away, following the zombie's rotting footprints all the way down.

The stairs between the circular corridors revolved around the central space. They saw the elevator, but they had no intention of trying it. They walked all the way to the level where the podium was located.

There is a deeper space under the plane that can be seen from the upper floor, and the light cannot penetrate at all. Heinrich and Lin Xu held the flashlights and proceeded cautiously.

The proportion of metal creations continued to increase, and the four zombies tore through the metal partition along the way to escape. Now it is convenient for Heinrich and Lin Xu to explore.

Without sunlight, the temperature continues to drop.

The beam of the flashlight is directed forward, and the narrow tube effect makes the wind in the corridor more turbulent and cold as a knife.

Except for the road ahead, everything around the two of them was wrapped in darkness, and the powered exoskeleton was making a mechanical sound as it moved.

For a moment, Lin Xu felt something flash in his field of vision.

He listened to his own and Heinrich's breathing, and beyond that, there was silence.

He closed his eyes, recalling the image that had just been reflected on his retina.

Eyes, mouth, nose... human face.

Lin Xu restrained his breath as much as possible, but his heart was beating wildly.

In a deserted and unknown place, what is the most terrifying thing for a person?

is another person.

What's more terrifying?

A vague face that wanders in the dark.

- Click.

He stepped on something soft with a slightly brittle interior.

Lin Xu held his breath, and the wind around him seemed to be silent to death at this moment.

The crackling sound echoed in my ears.

No, the wind just stopped.

The air flow slowed and they entered another, larger space.

Lin Xu turned the flashlight to the side to check the situation, and the light beam slid across, illuminating a face.

"Hey!" The excessive vigilance caused Lin Xu to take a step back in surprise, his lower back bumped into something, and there was a void behind him, and his inertia made him fall back and fall out.

"Lin Xu!" Heinrich rushed forward, but failed to catch the falling hand.

He saw Lin Xu hit his back against the railing and fell out. The flashlight came out of his hand and flew down with light. The scattered beams illuminated countless faces and pale limbs.

With a loud bang, the flashlight fell to the ground, and the pale light flickered and then went out.

"Lin Xu..." Heinrich's voice stagnated for a moment.

There was another loud bang of metal colliding, and Heinrich only felt the plane under his feet tremble.

"I'm here."

The trembling light in Heinrich's hand shined on the source of the sound, and he found that Lin Xu was holding the metal edge of the plane with both hands.

Lin Xu followed the light to see Heinrich's familiar face clearly, exhaled, and turned up with his hands. Heinrich pulled him, led him back to the railing, and pressed his shoulders to his side.

Lin Xu didn't struggle, and even leaned half on Heinrich's shoulder.

The swaying light beam swept across countless silent faces, all with their eyes closed.

Lin Xu used the light to look at the place he stepped on just now. A forearm with dehydrated muscle strips was lying there, and the bone was broken into two by him.

The place where the two are standing seems to be a flat bridge. The ground is a hollow metal grid. Through the gap, the bottom is submerged in darkness, bottomless.

Just as Lin Xu bowed his head, Heinrich stroked Lin Xu's braid.

Feeling his silent comfort, Lin Xu's heartbeat dropped a lot, "I'm fine."

"Hmm." Heinrich's low, emotionless voice made people feel reassured at this moment.

He handed the flashlight to Lin Xu, took out the low-temperature levitation flare, and fired a shot in the upper and lower directions.

After the gunshot, the dazzling light accompanied by sparks lit up the entire space.

Lin Xu finally saw where the flickering faces and figures came from.

The flare light illuminates the space bit by bit, outlining the appearance of countless cylindrical glass cultivation cabins.

The cultivation cabins filled with green liquid overlap one after another, descending from the ground to the dome, nearly [-] meters high, spreading like growing logs. Countless such steel and glass 'logs' are arranged in the space, silent Standing there, densely packed with no end in sight, the farthest cultivation cabin column could not be touched by light, and fell into darkness again.

Numerous flat metal bridges pass through it, like a forest road extending into dense fog.

In each glass culture chamber, there is a human body, they float vertically in the dark green liquid, without any cover on their bodies, with tubes inserted into the spine, arms, and back of the head.

There may be tens of thousands of training cabins here.

Lin Xu approached the railing and cast the light on the closest training cabin. In the cabin was a young man with his eyes closed, his long hair floating in the liquid like seaweed, his face pale but calm, as if Fall into a kind of slumber.

But Lin Xu subconsciously felt something was wrong.

The light beam moved to the metal edge on the upper part of the cultivation cabin, and the dust covered the rust on the metal. Lin Xu could vaguely see the shape of the indicator lights of the machine, but none of these indicators were on.

Looking at the training cabin next to the severed arm, there was a deformation of the metal edge. The uneven force caused the glass to shatter, and the green liquid drained and dried up.

Probably the owner of the severed arm is indeed dead.

The indicator lights of his training cabin were all extinguished like the other training cabins.

The base's energy has long been exhausted. No matter what the original purpose of these training cabins is, without energy, they cannot continue to maintain it.

What was soaked in the liquid were all pale and stiff human corpses.
