Deep Sea Survival: Start a Submarine

"remote control?!"

Looking at the large remote control that fell out of the man's backpack, Meng Lei and the others looked at each other, confused.

The remote control is very different, it is said to be a remote control, in fact, it is more like some kind of wireless detonating device.

Because the button above is simple and clearly marked.

Meng Lei frowned suspiciously, and couldn't help but look at the man more.

Only at this time did he realize that the man was wearing the uniform blue engineer uniform of the Alliance, as if he was a staff member in the outpost.

The man was very fast when he acted just now, and after colliding with the tall Simon, he almost stumbled into Simon.

Simon was suddenly a little unhappy, and scolded coldly:

"You're blind! Can't you walk with eyes?!"

The man seemed to be in a very nervous state. After the detonator fell out of the bag, the whole person became even more panicked.

After being scolded by Simon, he didn't realize it, and hurriedly put the detonator back into the bag,

Finally, he hugged his backpack tightly, curled up at the foot of the elevator, and muttered absentmindedly:

"Sorry...sorry..."

Seeing him like this, Simon didn't bother to pursue anything.

Everyone got out of the elevator, and the two sides were separated by the slowly closing elevator door.

Meng Lei suddenly looked at Hans with some doubts and asked:

"Is there any work in the city that needs to be blasted?"

Hans looked back at the closed door and the elevator that had already started running, with a hint of doubt in his eyes:

"No? Demolition in the city is digging one's own grave!

Only some mining companies may use related technologies…”

"That person just now..."

Meng Lei pointed to the direction of the elevator.

Hans also shook his head blankly and whispered:

"It is estimated that some mining company's ship passed by and entered the city to replenish spare equipment and parts."

Hearing this, Meng Lei finally dispelled his doubts.

However, he still felt that there was an unusual feeling everywhere in this outpost.

But such a small episode, several people did not take it too seriously.

Open the airlock door.

A dilapidated and crowded underground city, surrounded by faint smoke, appeared in front of several people.

There is no bright flashing neon, no huge dream holographic projection.

Under the dim dome searchlight, only a shadowy sky bridge was reflected.

Broken wires and ropes hang in the air, rusted and with unknown mycelium.

A musty smell mixed with sweet aroma pungent smell, filled the whole dark and damp dilapidated city grotto, giving people a strong smell of decay.

Compared with Sill City,

Both the environment and the facilities of the Rongyan Outpost are like the products of two different eras, and there is a huge gap.

"This... is a bit different from what I imagined..."

Huo Ye stared blankly at the city in front of him, and murmured in disbelief:

"It's too broken, it's like a slum..."

Jia Quan nodded in agreement and said:

"Yeah, the shanty towns in my hometown are cleaner than this. Is this outpost going to be abolished?"

Hans shook his head helplessly and smiled:

"Except for large gathering places like Syr City, most of our outposts and strongholds are like this."

After a pause, Hans showed a look of sadness on his face, and said in a low tone:

"It's not easy to be alive these days.

Going out to sea has to bear the risk of death, and often will run out of food in gathering places.

Regardless of how prosperous Syr City is, there are not a few people at the bottom who starve to death due to food shortages every year.

In this case, who would care whether the environment is good or bad? "

Hearing this, Meng Lei and the others looked at each other and saw a dignified flash in each other's eyes.

They seem to have been deceived by the prosperity of Xier City.

I thought this was a sea world with advanced technology, and it already had enough ability to continue the development and reproduction of the race.

But it seems that things are not like this.

"Okay, don't worry about that, just finish the business at hand."

Meng Lei made a decision.

For better or worse, this is the end of the story, and everyone has no other choice.

We can only survive and develop in the cracks.

"Hans, how did you find that friend of yours?"

Meng Lei looked at Hans.

Dangerous elements like Joker members are handed over to security officers to deal with.

Old Jack is an old friend of Hans and the security officer of Rongyan Post, so it is naturally the most suitable for him to do it.

"I don't know, let's ask as we walk."

Hans shook his head. He didn't have any contact information for Old Jack either.

So, while everyone went deep into the city, they kept asking about the whereabouts of Old Jack.

Along the way, the anxiety the city brought to several people became stronger and stronger.

The coughs and murmurs of the streets and alleys filled every corner of the city.

Most of the security officers that Meng Lei and the others encountered along the way had the same symptoms as the security officers in the lower central area.

His face was pale and in a trance, and he kept coughing, as if he had contracted some kind of disease.

This phenomenon only exists in the body of security officers, and ordinary people do not have similar performance.

But because the security officers in the city are widely distributed, no matter where you go, you can see similar scenes.

It gives a very weird feeling,

It was as if the whole city was sick, exhausted and weak.

"What's the situation? Why does the security officer here seem to be sick? Is it some unknown infection?"

Meng Lei was puzzled, and a sense of unease gradually rose in his heart.

"I don't know, I was fine when I came here some time ago, and I haven't heard of any new virus being discovered recently?"

Hans was even more dazed, feeling that something was a little wrong.

At this time, in the corner of the next street, a woman's crazy laughter suddenly sounded.

"Come! Doomsday will come, this day has finally come, and we will all be liberated!"

"The soul of all evil will be washed by the sea, and everyone will be purified in the abyss!"

"Destroy this dirty and rotten world!"

"We are sinners who have disturbed the sleep of the gods, and we must exchange our lives for redemption!"

…

A woman wearing a hood and wrapped in a black robe, hunched her back, and gave a smirk.

Like a deranged witch, rushing out of the alley.

With a strange prayer in his mouth, he stumbled into the distance.

Facing Meng Lei's doubtful gaze, Hans explained:

"This is the city's fortune-tellers, and they are usually asked by bounty hunters before going on a difficult mission.

There are people like this everywhere, they are just a bunch of lunatics, don't bother. "

Meng Lei nodded thoughtfully.

The crowd moved on.

But the unease that shrouded everyone's heart became more and more intense.

A patient in the streets, a neurotic fortune-teller.

Painful moans and hysterical doomsday remarks, all of which seem to indicate that the city is terminally ill.

After ten minutes, after many inquiries.

Several people finally got the whereabouts of Old Jack from a more normal security officer.

Finally, in a muddy alley in the living area, everyone found old Jack who was slumped on the ground, panting in pain.

Seeing this, Hans hurried over and squatted down to pick up Old Jack.

"Old Jack, what happened? How did you become like this, what happened at the Rongyan Outpost?"

Hans asked anxiously and concerned.

Old Jack, as his name suggests, is about fifty years old, with a beard that is no less than Simon's, and his skin is dark, but there is a trace of morbid pallor.

"Hans? Why are you here?"

Seeing the person coming, Old Jack got up with the help of Hans, leaned against the wall weakly, panting heavily.

"I followed the boat out to sea and happened to pass by here. I also caught a clown member on the boat, and I was planning to hand him over to you!"

Hearing this, Old Jack's eyes were a little red, and he swept over Eugene subconsciously.

Then, he waved his hand and gasped:

"Leave him here, forget about it!

There is something wrong here at the Rongyan Post. We seem to be infected with some kind of virus. You should leave this place while your contact time is not long! "

The words just fell, before Hans and Meng Lei asked anything more.

Suddenly, from the direction of the nearby commercial area, there was a deep explosion!

"boom!"

The dull explosion seemed to come from the ground, not like it resounded in the business district out of thin air.

The sound is not big, but it has a strong penetrating power, reverberating recklessly in the city in the cavity of the whole mountain, and it is deafening.

Immediately afterwards, the ground beneath his feet began to tremble.

The lights all around flickered on and off, as if there was some kind of failure in the power system.

This sudden change suddenly shocked everyone.

"What happened?! Where did the explosion happen!?"

Huo Ye was shocked and hurried to the end of the alley to see what happened.

Meng Lei immediately frowned, realizing that something big had happened.

"Quick, take old Jack, let's get out of here first!"

While speaking, Meng Lei stepped forward and assisted Hans to put Old Jack in the middle.

At this time, everyone in the city was startled by the huge explosion.

A large number of residents walked out of their houses and flooded the streets.

With unease and curiosity, they gathered into a crowded stream of people, rushing towards the business district from all directions.

Meng Lei and the others hadn't gone too far, but they saw Huo Ye turning around and running back from the direction of the gate, with a trace of panic on his face, and shouted loudly:

"Commander! It's over, we can't get out! The shaft passage leading to the lower area was blown up!"

"what?!"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly showed a shocked expression.

The surrounding crowd immediately panicked, as if the end of the world was coming.

"What the **** is going on?! How could the well-endowed shaft passage be bombed, who did it!?"

Xu Hui's face was pale, and he stomped his feet in a hurry.

The shaft passage was destroyed, and they did not carry diving suits, which was equivalent to being trapped in the city of this molten rock outpost.

Not only them, but everyone in the city.

"Could it be... the guy we met in the elevator just now did it?"

Jia Quan realized a certain possibility, and immediately frowned again, puzzled:

"But, why did he do this!?"

"Armed attack?! Is it a member of a rebel organization, ready to launch an armed attack?!"

Hans exclaimed, his face instantly pale.

Meng Lei took a deep breath, also very puzzled.

However, he did not panic like the others, and said calmly:

"Don't worry about it so much, since the escape route is blocked, the top priority is to find a place to hide first, and then wait for the alliance to respond.

When such a big thing happens, the upper-level alliance government will never sit idly by.

The shaft elevator is sealed with an airlock, and sea water can't get in. We're still safe for the time being. Let's see how the alliance reacts. "

Hearing this, everyone finally calmed down.

Meng Lei's words were like a reassurance pill, and it was indeed the case when you thought about it carefully.

Although we can't go away for the time being, but at least safety can be guaranteed.

The function of the airlock chamber of the shaft passage is to prevent the backflow of sea water. As long as the airlock chamber is not damaged, the whole city is temporarily safe.

"Come with me, come to my house first and escape..."

At this time, Old Jack, who was held between Meng Lei and Hans, suddenly said weakly:

"I'm worried, it's not that simple..."

Hearing this, Meng Lei froze in his heart, and hurriedly asked:

"What's the matter? What do you know?"

Old Jack shook his head and said, "talk while walking..."

With that said, he broke free from Meng Lei and Hans' support, leaned against the wall, and stumbled forward.

Suddenly he remembered something again, turned his head and said:

"By the way, find someone to quickly go to the market to see if you can buy a few sets of diving suits, and plan for the worst.

If it's later, I'm afraid I won't be able to grab it..."

Hearing this, Meng Lei nodded and immediately handed over the task to Simon and Huo Ye.

At the moment, Simon didn't care about Eugene anymore, and threw him directly to the ground.

Then he asked Old Jack for his house number, and ran with Huo Ye to the chaotic business district.

On Meng Lei's side, everyone went against the crowded crowd and shuttled through the narrow alleys in the living area.

After walking for a while, I finally came to a place with less traffic.

Meng Lei stepped forward quickly and asked eagerly:

"What the **** is going on? From the moment we entered the city, we felt that there was something wrong with the Rongyan Outpost.

Not only are the security officers sick, but now even the shaft passage has been bombed. This is obviously a premeditated attack! "

Old Jack shook his head and said as he walked:

"I don't know if it was a premeditated attack, but you're right about one thing, we're all sick...

This disease is very sudden and the onset is very fast!

Just an hour ago, we were healthy and had no problems with our bodies.

But in just one hour, all the security officers in the commercial area and the lower area developed severe fever, cough, weakness and other symptoms.

The disease came on very strangely, without any warning, and no one knew what was going on. "

Old Jack's condition is very bad, and has been coughing desperately.

When breathing, something seemed to get stuck in his throat, making a sharp leaking sound like an old bellows.

"Then you go to the hospital and clinic for treatment, why don't you go to the doctor?!"

Hans was in a panic and asked a very naive question.

Old Jack smiled wryly:

"Look, it's useless, the hospital can't find the problem, and the blood test results have been inconclusive because the time is too short.

Based on the symptoms, we initially suspected that it might be infected with painted skin parasites.

However, the dermatophyte was also hit, and the antibiotics were also pricked. Some people only got temporary relief, and most people did not have any effect.

Therefore, the possibility of painting skin infection can basically be ruled out. "

"Then what did the alliance say? We can't let this situation continue to develop, can we?" Meng Lei asked with a frown.

Old Jack shook his head again, his voice weaker.

"We have reacted to this situation with the head of the Security Office,

The result is that this may be a new type of virus developed by the rebel organization, intending to disintegrate the security force of the melting rock post, and then take advantage of the situation to launch an armed attack on the site.

All of us are required to stick to our posts and guard against any attack that may be launched at any time.

As for the alliance government, professional biological researchers have been sent here to treat us.

In the end, it's a word.

wait! "

While speaking, everyone walked through the narrow and crowded streets and came to a row of three-storey metal buildings in the central area of ​​the living area.

The buildings in this area are all closely-structured row buildings.

In order to improve the space utilization rate as much as possible, the building itself has given up comfort and can only provide a place for people to live and rest.

Therefore, when Old Jack opened one of the doors, he led the crowd in.

The cramped and cramped environment immediately became extremely crowded.

However, at this time, no one considered the issue of comfort.

The situation at the Rongyan Outpost is already quite serious. All the security officers have been infected with unknown viruses, and the defense system of the entire outpost has almost completely collapsed.

If there were to be a forcible armed raid by the separatist rebels, the Rongyan Post would definitely have no resistance.

However, from the rhetoric of the alliance expressed by Old Jack, Meng Lei always felt that something was wrong.

Thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized the problem.

A trace of doubt flashed on his face, and he said:

"No, if the members of the separatist group tried to attack the outpost, why did they blow up the shaft passage?!

In this way, they can't get in by themselves? ! "

Old Jack poured himself a glass of water, and after swallowing it with difficulty, he coughed heavily.

Then he nodded and said solemnly:

"That's right, that's why I said just now that things are probably not that simple!

The judgment given by the alliance is only a possibility, and it is also a side word of their senior management.

The truth...what is it...no one knows...

but…"

Speaking of which, Old Jack's voice became more and more hoarse.

He covered his neck with pain on his face, very difficult, forcibly spit out the following words.

"But...the current situation...it's not like the enemy is going to attack...it's more like...the exit is deliberately blocked...forbidding anyone to leave...

I suspect... the top alliance leaders at the Rongyan Outpost... have a conspiracy! "

After speaking, Old Jack suddenly opened his mouth wide, and his eyes bulged out horribly, as if they were about to burst out of their sockets.

At the same time, he desperately inserted his fingers into his throat, retching frantically.

There seemed to be something stuck in his throat, severely hindering his breathing.

In the end, the thing did not come out, but instead coughed out a large mouthful of blood!

Dark red viscous blood stains scattered on the clean floor, exuding a foul stench.

Seeing this, everyone present frowned.

The blood of a normal person is definitely not this color, nor this taste.

Old Jack's condition appears to be more severe, and has progressed to an irreversible advanced state.

Meng Lei took Old Jack's arm and forcibly helped him onto the bed.

"You rest first, don't think too much, if the situation changes, we will take you away!"

A touch of comfort would not help Old Jack in any way.

The pain has spread all over his body, the virus seems to be eating into his mental consciousness frantically, and his body begins to twitch slightly uncontrollably.

"I...I can feel...something growing...in my body..."

"It's so sad, it's getting bigger... it's eating my flesh!"

"No...no...it's not a virus!"

Old Jack endured the pain, and unconsciously expressed his feelings in the intermittent groaning sound of confusion.

Suddenly, his voice rose abruptly at a certain moment.

The expression on his face gradually changed from pain to panic, as if he realized something extremely terrifying!

Then, he struggled on the bed with all his strength and shouted:

"It's not a virus! It's not a virus!

It's painted skin...I'm infected with painted skin!

There's something...in my throat...panrao...

They... come out soon! "

The hoarse voice was full of hysteria and madness.

Old Jack's eyes were prominent, his expression was extremely hideous, and his body struggled violently, as if trying to suppress something in his body.

heard,

The expressions of Meng Lei and the others present, which were originally calm, also changed drastically in an instant.

Almost instinctively, they all took a step back.

At the same time, someone could not help shouting in horror:

"Painted skin?! How is it painted skin?!"

"Old Jack, what did you say? Painted skin?! You are infected with painted skin?!"

"How is this possible? Isn't it possible to get rid of the worms? How is it possible that the parasites can't be eliminated?"

"What the **** is going on here?! Where is the problem?"

Meng Lei also frowned deeply, and he felt a cold air rushing to his forehead in his doubts.

After Xier City learned of the existence of the targeted drug Pichongjing, for a long time, he even almost forgot the existence of the painted skin parasite and the painted skin sect.

Even on the Sea Locust submarine, he purchased a batch of net worms for spare.

Therefore, when the hidden danger is no longer a threat, inertial thinking will deliberately ignore it.

At the moment, when they suddenly heard the word painted skin parasite, everyone was dumbfounded.

Because they couldn't figure out why the professional targeted drug, Pichongjing, would suddenly fail.

And, according to Old Jack's description.

It has only been more than an hour since he was infected and started showing symptoms, and there is no incubation period at all.

Almost, directly from infection to parasitism, the eggs are growing rapidly throughout the whole process.

Such a strange phenomenon, let alone Meng Lei and the other Blue Star players.

Even Hans, Karl, and Charlie, the alien natives, were deeply puzzled, completely beyond their understanding!

"Impossible! It's impossible!" Hans was full of horror, and couldn't stop muttering: "When did the painted skin parasite become so powerful, and the parasite was completed in an hour, it's impossible!"

"Nothing is impossible!"

Suddenly, Meng Lei said in a deep voice, "Maybe it's evolved, or maybe it's a new breed secretly researched by the Painted Skin Sect. The facts are in front of us, and we can't help but believe it!"

"Then what to do now, Captain!? Old Jack is dying!"

After learning that Old Jack was parasitized by painted skin,

Looking at Old Jack struggling in pain on the bed, Hans was also panicked, a little confused and didn't know what to do.

"Old Jack definitely can't be saved. Not to mention that we don't have worm nets on hand, even if we do, it obviously doesn't work!"

Meng Lei took a deep breath, his eyes showing unprecedented solemnity:

"A security officer like Old Jack, there are dozens of people in the city!

If they are all infected with painted skin, what will happen next, just think about it! "

The only armed forces in the city were all infected by painted skin parasites.

Without the armed protection of these people, these unarmed ordinary civilians in the city will undoubtedly suffer a horrific massacre!

By then, the entire city will be reduced to a nest of painted skin parasites!

Obviously, the mastermind behind this incident had long planned to select the first batch of infected bodies as the city's security officers.

Its original intention was to slaughter the whole city.

This point, reminded by Meng Lei, everyone present suddenly woke up.

Suddenly, everyone's scalp was numb!

"Fuck! This **** is too cruel, who did it? It's crazy!"

Xu Hui jumped and cursed, and at the same time his face turned pale.

"Don't think about those useless things!

The shaft passage was destroyed, and the top priority is to escape to the upper administrative area as soon as possible, so that we can escape this disaster! "

Meng Lei paused, then said solemnly:

"The premise is that if the administrative district is not infected..."

Halfway through speaking, Meng Lei's words were suddenly interrupted by a sudden gunshot from a distance.

Then I heard the direction of the commercial area on the first floor of the city, and screams and exclamations began to come, and it seemed that serious chaos had occurred.

Several people's hearts suddenly sank.

Realizing that the security officer in the city should have been completely parasitized, turned into a monster, and began to kill instinctively.

If you don't leave as soon as possible, I'm afraid you won't even have the chance to escape to the upper area.

"Come on, look around the house to see if anyone has a hand! Everyone get one!"

At the moment, Meng Lei gave an order decisively.

Now that the riots have begun, everyone wants to pass through the crowded commercial area and reach the shaft passage leading to the upper floor. It is impossible to defend themselves without some weapons.

With the plasma pistol in his waist, he obviously couldn't take care of the overall situation.

Hearing this, everyone immediately started rummaging in the house.

Meng Lei, on the other hand, had Hans pressed down on the bed and struggled desperately. Old Jack, who was terminally ill, took off all the weapons and ammunition on the other side.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of rapid footsteps outside the house.

The next moment, Simon and Huo Ye pushed open the door sweating profusely and roared:

"Captain! Something has happened!"

"Painted skin parasites have appeared in the city, and the passage leading to the upper administrative district has also malfunctioned. We are trapped here!"
