Inside The Black Mist Chapter 1180: Nightcrawler
No. 127 against the boundary, advance to the base.
The base that had just ended a war was filled with thick smoke. The soldiers were putting out the open flames, repairing the facilities, and trying to establish a line of defense before a new round of black mobs attacked.
In a resettlement camp, Old Xu was holding a communicator, and his wife's voice sounded from inside: "What, you are in the reverse world? Why did you go to the reverse world? Aren't you in the logistics department? Old Xu, are you It's not that there is something hidden from me."
The wife's excited voice spread in the resettlement camp, and the soldiers next to her covered their mouths and laughed lightly. After being glared at by Lao Xu, they turned to other directions one by one.
Old Xu said in a low voice: "Zijin, don't get excited, you listen to me. I have nothing to hide from you, I was indeed in the logistics department before. It's not that the black people suddenly attacked the advance base, in case those things Going over Clough Gate is bad, so Bastion transferred me."
"Don't worry, the battle is over. The master of the Yun family took action himself and wiped out all the black people in one fell swoop. I'm fine. There are no missing arms or legs. They can jump and run. It doesn't matter."
Then the wife said quietly: "Then when will you come back?"
Old Xu coughed dryly: "It's not up to me. Maybe I have to stay here for two days. At least I have to wait for some of the troops we deployed in the wilderness to come back and strengthen the defense inside the gate before I can go back to the original position." Go to the post."
"How many days will it take?"
At this time, someone opened the tent and walked in. It was an iron-clad military officer. Old Xu seemed to recognize him, nodded, and then said to his wife: "Don't talk anymore, I have work to do, you Take care of wheat and wait for me to come back."
"Then you have to be careful."
"Okay."
Old Xu ended the communication, jumped up and said, "Old Guo, what's the situation now."
The Iron Wall officer, whose full name is Guo Xu, coughed dryly and said, "The base is fairly stable at present. Now, Commander Shen, who is located at Yunxiang Base, has mobilized some troops to support us."
"There is also the head of the Yun family sitting here, and there are private troops from various families to support, so there will be no big problem in a short time."
"However, the higher-ups think that this large-scale attack by the black people may not be just this wave, and there may be more coming in the future. We have to find out the old nest of the black people, so that we can take the initiative and not be too passive."
Old Xu, as a former night walker, knows the habits of black people well, nodded and said: "It makes sense."
Guo Xu smiled, patted Lao Xu on the shoulder and said, "Since you think so, then you will definitely not refuse the exploration mission?"
"No problem." Lao Xu responded subconsciously, then he was stunned for a while, and then said, "What task?"
"Exploration mission." Guo Xu said with a smile, "Your elder brother was born as a Nightcrawler. He has served in the Nightcrawler for many years and has rich experience. The higher-ups learned about this situation and want you to lead a team to track and explore. Don't worry. , there is no danger, as soon as you find traces of the black people, you immediately withdraw, and you are not asked to go deep."
Old Xu said with a dry smile: "Old Guo, don't be joking. You also know that I have retired from Nightcrawler. It has been almost a year since I quit. Brother, my previous skills are all rusty. At this time, let me Leading the team to explore, this will not cause trouble for everyone."
"Don't make trouble, let others come, I can't, I really can't."
Guo Xu said solemnly: "Old Xu, I'm not discussing with you now. The order from the superior has already come down. The situation is special now, and we need to use every ounce of strength. If you refuse, I don't know what the superior will think. .”
"But in my experience, taking away all the rights you have now would be considered light."
Old Xu suddenly jumped up: "Why is this, this, this..."
"Okay, old Xu. Don't dawdle, you get ready, I will bring a few people over, and I will leave it to you."
Guo Xu patted his arm: "Your team is not the only one participating in the exploration. If you are in danger, you will withdraw. It's as simple as that."
After speaking, the officer left the tent.
Old Xu shook his head and sat down.
A moment later, Guo Xu brought him two sublimators, one with the hunter rank and the other with the elemental heart. The former can track the traces of the black people, and the latter provides some fire support. Together with Lao Xu, the God of War rank, and a dozen ordinary soldiers, it is a standard nightcrawler team.
Guo Xu took out an electronic board, stuffed it to Old Xu, and said, "Don't say I didn't take care of you. The above are some clues left by the black people at present. You can choose one to be responsible for exploring and tracking the haunted places."
"When you pick the leftovers, I will arrange for others."
The old face of Lao Xu smiled a little: "This is so plausible, Lao Guo."
He picked up the electronic board and looked it over carefully, and finally picked a deserted small village that was the closest to the base, only more than 20 kilometers away: "That's it."
"No problem." Guo Xu took it over and stamped Lao Xu's logo on that location, so that others could only pick other locations to track.
Old Xu chose this location mainly because it is the closest to the base, and it is relatively easy to escape if something happens. There is another one, so close to the base, basically there will be no black people wandering around, so just go to the village to make a show, stay for three to five hours, and then you can come back and hand in the task.
Their team asked for a chariot, then left the base and went to the designated location.
No words all the way.
After arriving at the target location, Lao Xu jumped out of the car, and it was not hard to see in the light of the headlights. The village was quiet, and it didn't look like there were black people active.
"Those things should just pass by here." Old Xu whispered something, turned around, and said to his team members, "Keep your eyes bright, don't relax your vigilance, and stay in formation."
Looking at the hunter again, Old Xu said, "Let's start."
So the hunters followed in front, Lao Xu followed behind, the warriors protected the heart of the elements, and the team began to go deep into the village.
The once inhabited village is now in ruins, and the dark mist permeates the ruined walls.
The team didn't move fast, advancing slowly, checking every possible location where black people might be hidden, but after exploring half of the village, they didn't even see a wanderer.
Just when Lao Xu wanted to order to rest, he suddenly heard a sound of 'ho **** ho' from a passing alley. Then he didn't have time to react, when Lao Xu looked over there, he saw a white shadow suddenly pounced out of the light.
Running into the rear of the team, two soldiers were picked up by something, strung together, and lifted their feet off the ground.
At this time, Old Xu saw clearly that it was a humanoid creature. The whole body of this thing was gray and even a little blue. Mouth.
It is very large, with some black lines on its gray body, like raised blood vessels.
It held a spear in its left hand. The spear that seemed to be made of bones pierced through the bodies of two soldiers and lifted them up; There seemed to be crumbs of meat still stuck to it.
There is a ring of tentacles around its waist, and the ends of those tentacles are either wrapped around human stumps or heads.
It is like a butcher, exuding strong malice and murderous intent.
At this time, the creature opened its mouth like a sandworm and sucked it hard. The eyes and mouths of the two soldiers picked up by it in mid-air lit up, followed by wisps of faint, mist-like energy that emanated from the soldiers’ eyes and mouths, gushing out. into the monster's mouth.
It seemed to be the life energy of the soldiers. As soon as it was pulled away, they stopped struggling and their heads hung down.
Dancing with the bone knife, the monster chopped the soldier's body into pieces, then turned around, facing Lao Xu and the others, and let out a roar from its mouth!
As the roar sounded, countless black figures emerged from the distant buildings, ruins, and shadows. The number is as large as a raging undercurrent.
Old Xu turned pale, and shouted decisively: "Retreat! Retreat!"
There are too many black people, too many! The whole street was crowded with black people, and it was impossible to know how many enemies there were.
How to fight this?
Gunshots started to ring out in the deserted village, followed by a chase.
Old Xu originally wanted to lead the team out of the village, but there were too many black people, and many of them were unknown to him. They can only shrink into a building that has not yet collapsed and hold on.
For a while, although there were many black people, they were guarded by Lao Xu and the others.
Just, how long can you keep it?
Anyone can tell that when they run out of bullets and star energy, it's time for the black people to rush in.
Old Xu was holding a rifle, and while shooting, he shouted: "Haven't you contacted the base yet?"
A soldier was sweating profusely: "No, the signal is interfered."
"Damn it!"
Old Xu fired up a star element magazine, and after returning to the cover: "Give me another one, how many magazines are left."
The soldier who threw the magazine to him said with a miserable face, "This is the only one left."
Old Xu was stunned for a while, his eyes changed, and finally he said in a deep voice: "Take out all the grenades on you."
The soldiers looked at each other, and then handed the remaining grenade to Lao Xu, who smiled and said, "I'm here to attract the attention of those guys, you bastards, remember to seize the opportunity and run for me."
The soldiers froze for a moment, and couldn't believe their ears. After all, Old Xu always tried his best to delay the work, and always tried his best to stay away from danger, but this time he took the initiative to take the almost deadly job.
"Why are you stunned? Yes, I am afraid of death. I have a beautiful wife and a lovely daughter at home. Is it strange that I don't want to die?"
Old Xu put the grenade in a place where he could easily get it, picked up two Xingsu rifles with magazines, and glanced at his team members: "But I am a night walker, although I have been out for almost a year But those guys who only drink and pick up girls have taught me one thing."
"If you encounter difficulties, then, the old things must be left behind, so that the young people can live on. Because you... are the future and hope."
Old Xu laughed dryly: "Damn, I was poisoned by those bastards. So, if you dare to die here, I will never let you go."
After finishing speaking, Lao Xu rushed out and shouted: "Dark bastards, come here, I will play with you."
It was followed by explosions and flames. Perhaps the flames were so dazzling that the soldiers' eyes were red with tears in their corners. When the sound of the explosion went away, the black people who had gathered nearby also left.
"Let's go, I won't waste the painstaking efforts of the officer. If we live, each of us must go back!" The hunter said through gritted teeth, and then he said in a voice that he could only hear, "If I can Go back, I...I want to join the Nightcrawler too!"
