Edge of the Apocalypse Chapter 786: Dive into the base

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters on Edge of Doom!

At night, it started to rain. The big raindrops hit the ground, mixed with dust and turned into muddy water, which ran into the underground waterways along the city's drains. The rain is not heavy, but it is continuous, so the muddy water injected into the underground waterway from the drain has formed a few water lines, which makes some residents in the undergroundway very troubled. A humanoid being walking upright like the one in front of him, but covered with black hair, shaking a short slender tail. The muddy water will wet its hair, make them tangled into a ball, and have a great influence on its movements.

This is an underground creature called the Ratman by the Federation.

Mouse people actually don’t look like mice, but because they are very similar in habits to mice, the officials named them that way. The Ratman's intelligence is low, and he tends to dim and fear the light, and he likes to hide in dark places. They have a wide range of recipes and eat almost anything. In the past, there were even rumors of rat people stealing newly born babies. Therefore, whether they are humans or the natives of the planet, they hate such creatures as rat people.

There were no rat people in Takasugi City before, but as the city was abandoned, the intricate underground waterways here attracted a group of rat people as their nests. The Federation has discovered this, but the current negotiations with the Hulma have come to an end, and they have no time to care about these creatures for the time being.

This rat-man, half the height of an adult, is fishing in the ditch. If you are lucky, sometimes it can get some animal carcasses. At this time, a small red dot was moving on its body, and finally stopped on its head. The Ratman raised his head dullly, and suddenly his entire head exploded like a crushed watermelon, bones and plasma sprayed all over the floor, leaving only the corpse below the mouth slowly falling down.

"Clear. It's a disgusting thing, do we have to go this way?" Adele put down the sniper rifle, the muzzle of the muffler was sleeved. She complained with a headset.

Ellen's voice sounded in the headset: "There is still less than one kilometer away, Adele, please bear with me."

Adele snorted: "You have to pay me twice." Then he picked up the gun and went to the next turning point. Behind her, two members of the Black Knights followed her to protect the snipers in the team.

Hiking in the underground waterway is definitely not a pleasant thing. The team is still walking along the stone paths on both sides of the ditch, and from time to time they will bump into one or two reckless rat people. In order not to arouse the alarm of the Hurma, everyone's guns have been fitted with silencers. And even if it is close to culling, it must be hit with a single blow, lest the rat man makes an abnormal noise and alarms the scarlet ghost on the ground.

Now they have crossed the long street that served as a buffer and formally entered the street occupied by the Hulma. According to the infiltration route map provided by Lieutenant Colonel Xiao, they enter the underground passage from a corner of the street in the control area. According to the route map, they will eventually reach a transfer platform of the base, and then cut into the base through there. After that, it depends on Alan's performance.

Now the federal negotiators are delaying time for them. Lieutenant Colonel Xiao has surrounded the base with the army, and once the negotiation breaks down, he can only use force. If the three engineers of the Federation cannot be rescued before then, the Federation will suffer heavy losses even if the Hurma are eventually expelled.

Allen had already kept the road map in his mind, and led the team all the way forward without stopping at all. In the meantime, Adele fired two more shots, and the rat people targeted by her were the result of bursting their heads. When the team stopped, an alloy gate lay in front of everyone. An electronic lock next to the gate was covered with a large amount of dust. Allen stretched out his hand and wiped it. The LCD screen under the dust was still flashing with lights, apparently still working.

He entered a set of passwords on the electronic keyboard on the screen, and the alloy door shook slightly, then retracted a little inside, then backed to the side, and the door opened. The doorway is dimly lit, but it is not difficult to see that it is a ladder well. A row of red lights on the wall of the well flickered at a specific frequency. Allen raised his head and looked up, and several white lights could be seen in the darkness above.

"Get started," Allen said, and Rhys got into the stairwell as soon as his voice fell. Two quick-eyed boys followed him. According to Allen's previous arrangement, Reese and them will be responsible for the work of reconnaissance and determination of the way forward. Luma and Christine followed their head, responsible for support and protection. Then there are Adele and the two black knights. The hostages held by the Hulma have been confirmed to be locked in the underground garage of the base, where the environment is open. If there is a sniper like Adele. When necessary, it can play a huge role.

Next to enter the ladder well is Ellen himself and the others. They are the backbone and will be responsible for the most difficult part. As for the Bobcats, they stayed under the ladder well, and they all took out a row of time bombs from their backpacks. These bombs will be installed behind the ladder wells and doors. If the Hurma have chasing soldiers when the team is evacuated, these bombs will be the best gift.

Just because of the narrow space of the stairwell, Hubble also stayed behind as a post-breaker. Looking at this big guy with his head in his helmet, no one opposed Allen's approach. Except for Hubble himself, he couldn't help installing the bomb anyway. As soon as Allen walked, the big man simply found a corner to sit down and dozed off with the decapitating knife in his arms.

After exiting the ladder well, it is generally a transit platform as planned. This place is located near the base's material warehouse, but at that time, the aliens invaded and the warehouse was emptied before the base was withdrawn. Now there is nothing of value left here, so after occupying the base, the Hurma did not specially strengthen the guard of this place. This made Alan and the others cheap. Reese, who had already left the transit platform early, killed a few slack guards along the way, and arrived at the underground garage adjacent to the warehouse area without any surprises.

After a corner, Reese removed the rucksack and took out a suitcase from the inside. Open the suitcase, there are two rows of six reconnaissance robots inside. Their appearance was disguised as common insects. After Reese threw them out, these robotic insects entered the underground garage through the air vent and other gaps.

At the same time, Reese took out the tablet brain and connected the screen detected by the robot insect to the brain in Allen's hands in real time. So Alan, who was on the transfer platform, quickly received the picture from Reese.

The screen has been divided into six frames, and each frame represents the scene seen by a robot insect. Under Reese's control, six robot insects came to several corners of the garage, thus forming a crossover reconnaissance net with no dead ends. It is not difficult to see from the pictures on the screen that several scrapped speed cars were blocked by the Hurma. The two entrances of the garage had several elevator entrances, and only one of the gates was left as a passageway for entry and exit.

"They don't seem to be stupid." Allen said.

Many entrances and exits were sealed, leaving only one of them, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of the federal rescue. Under such circumstances, there are only two ways to implement rescue. One violently demolished the roof, and the other forced an attack from the only entrance. No matter which one is the best way, this can be seen from the arrangement made by the Hurma.

In the screen, the underground garage was cleared out of a spacious open space in the middle, and hundreds of federal hostages were detained there. A group of red-skinned Hurma warriors guarded the hostages, and directly opposite the gate, they used obstacles such as cargo boxes and flying cars to form a line of defense. One of the scrapped flying cars set up a rapid-fire cannon. The ammunition chain inserted into the gun and the several ammunition boxes next to it indicate that it is not a display. These things were snatched from the federal army, and the natives of these planets obviously also learned to use firearms in the battle with the Federation.

The rapid-fire machine gun is facing the gate, and the firepower can completely cover the gate area, posing a powerful threat to the aid personnel who are impacting on the front.

While observing the opponent's troops, Allen said: "Rice, find the three engineers."

"Leave it to me, start the Facebook analysis system, and the data comparison begins." Reese said in the headset: "Boss, these robot insects are really useful. Do you think there is such a baby in the redemption list? I plan to change a few for my own use."

"I remember that when Lieutenant Colonel Xiao gave them to me, he told them to return them immediately after they were used up. They are so powerful, I don't think they can be exchanged easily, right?" Allen frowned suddenly. "Huh" said.

"What's wrong?" Lucy asked at the back.

Allen clicked on one of the screens: "I found that the opponent is in the strong position. The energy level detected by the robot is 23. But this is only a regular energy level. If it is in a combat state, it will probably be higher by one or two. Energy levels."

In the screen, several containers are piled up behind the hostages. There were only two people sitting on it. Seeing that the other Hurma fighters were almost standing, only these two people were sitting. Obviously, their identities were higher than the other fighters. The two of them were a man and a woman, and the man sat in the middle of the height, which was the one Allen cared more about. This male Hulma has a red-black skin and a very strong body. The naked upper body is painted with some totem-like things with gray paint. The Hulma look very similar to humans, but there are some differences.

Like this man, a black horn protrudes from the middle of his forehead, and a row of dark teeth grows on the outside of his arms. The most obvious is that he was wrapped in a sarong below his waist, but a lizard-like tail came out from behind the skirt.

Black and long tail are common symbols of Hurma people. The man sitting on the cargo box has at least level 25 strength. Looking at his well-defined muscle, Allen sighed: "This should be Hubble's favorite opponent, but unfortunately, that big man can't climb up."

The dozing Hubble sneezed in the helmet. The big man raised his head and looked around, and then lowered his head when he found nothing unusual.
