the only savior

Chapter 872 The Last Whisper
At this moment, the No. 39 sewage treatment plant is no longer calm as before.

The sound of guns and explosions resounded above the reservoir, forming one piece.

It was so quiet that even residents living in the distance could faintly hear it.

The hunters of the Rat Exterminator Team were shooting down frantically with their guns.

By this time, the red light on the muzzles of their guns had become dimmer until they disappeared completely.

The disappearance of the light also means that the weapon will no longer enjoy the effect of the banning enchantment.

But at this moment, banning the sound is no longer important.

The main goal of everyone is to prevent these mutants from rushing over.

Fortunately, Ashley had already destroyed the slope just now.

As a result, the group of guys were all trapped in the reservoir below, and they would not be able to break through the line of defense for a while.

"Damn it! We're running out of ammunition! We can't drag on any longer! We must retreat!"

Andrea's face was extremely ugly when he saw the increasingly crowded mutants.

The expressions of the rest of them were similar to his.

They never imagined that there are so many mutants hidden under the reservoir.

When I asked for information in the tavern before, I never heard that there would be so many.

The nearby residents also thought that there were only about twenty people here, and it was already enough, but the actual number was more than five times the expected number.

There are more than 100 mutants, they have no way to solve them.

"You can't withdraw directly! Then they will catch up!"

Morris pulled the trigger frantically, and shouted:

"You guys go first, I'll stay behind! This will hold them back!"

Several people were taken aback when they heard the words, and Andrea shook his head frantically.

"No! Boss! If you want to leave, you should go first! I'll take care of you! After you go back, you still have to take care of your sister-in-law! You can't die here!"

"Get out! I'm the captain, so I'm the one to stay! Don't think I don't know, you also have a daughter in your family! Why are you pretending to be a loner here!? Get lost!!"

Morris roared, and Dang even blocked the other party's words back.

He was already determined to die at this moment.

Anyway, I was injured so badly that I couldn't run fast.

Since this is the case, it is better to give up the chance of survival to those few brothers who are desperately fighting with him.

"I... I divorced my wife a long time ago... My ex-wife is taking care of my daughter, it's okay..."

Andrea quibbled, but her confidence was obviously lacking.

Obviously, he also knew that judging from the current situation, it would be wisest to let the captain stay behind.

But as a teammate who lives and dies together, how could he have the heart to just leave the opponent here alone to die?
What's more, what they are facing is the group of mutants who eat people and don't spit out their bones.

Just thinking about what will happen to the person who is left behind makes people shudder.

While several people were still arguing over who would leave behind, the glasses brother on the side slowly put down his gun, turned around and walked towards a small room on the side.

"Lumen! What are you doing!?"

Feeling the decrease in the output of firepower around him, Jiko looked in surprise at the direction where the glasses brother was going away, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"He's right! Go away! Leave me alone! We're running low on ammo! There's no time to waste! Get the hell out of here!!"

Morris yelled.

"Fake! Fake! Fake!"

Kiko scolded several times in a row, but his feet didn't move at all.

"Boom~Boom~"

At this moment, a series of deafening noises suddenly sounded around everyone, and even the ground trembled slightly.

The movement was too huge and too sudden, which made all the hunters of the Rat Exterminator team startled.

Not only them, but even the mutants below who were constantly gathering here also paused, and the offensive slowed down.

"what happened?"

Andrea raised her head in a daze, trying to find the source of the sound.

"Look! It's there!!"

Kico pointed at the wall on the edge of the slope and said loudly.

Everyone quickly followed his gestures and looked over.

I saw that at the top of the slope, there were two thick metal plates extending from the side, and those sounds were exactly what the valve made when it moved.

"This is……"

Morris's expression changed, and then he seemed to think of something, and his face showed surprise.

"Quick, quick! Shoot! Shoot! Don't let them charge up! Shoot all the bullets!!"

He suddenly shouted, calling for everyone to continue shooting at the mutants.

The gunshots joined together again, this time seeming to be more violent than before.

Kiko was a little unclear at first, so he couldn't figure out what was going on.

Why did the boss suddenly look like he had been slapped with chicken blood, and his face was full of excitement.

But later, with the continuous translation of the two metal plates on the side, he finally understood what was going on.

It turns out that this is not a metal plate at all, but the valve of this reservoir!
As long as the two valves are closed, then I and others can lock those mutants down, and it will be safe!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance in the direction of the small house.

There, Lumen was waving to him through the window, and he also tapped his temple by the way.

Seeing this, Ji Ke took a deep breath of air-conditioning.

Good guy, this is laughing at myself for being brainless!
But now he is not angry at all.

There is no way, who wants others to save themselves.

Below, as the valve of the reservoir closed, those mutants with even duller brains finally came to their senses, and began roaring and rushing upwards.

Some mutants even began to pull the two valves with their hands, trying to prevent them from closing.

However, can such a huge machine be stopped by manpower?
Not even if they're mutants.

The valve slowly closed with an unstoppable momentum, as if it were a Tartarus gate, which could immediately lock the devils below into hell.

At this final moment, everyone in the Rat Exterminator team was already red-eyed, with full firepower, and even the dual blasting machine gun in Kiko's hand was almost useless.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"

Gunshots and roars joined together.

There was chaos at the scene, sparks reflected on everyone's face, stained with madness.

"Drip~drip~drip~drip~"

A short and hasty voice sounded.

It turned out that Lu Men walked back, and he dropped a concussion grenade towards the slope below.

"Cover your ears!"

The glasses brother reminded.

Seeing this, Morris threw away the gun in his hand without even thinking about it, and lay down on his stomach, covering his ears tightly with both palms.

"Om!!"

In the next second, a powerful vibration swept over, and the terrifying sound waves mixed with the air blowing away everything around,
The solid metal walls in all directions also vibrated, and dust fell from them.

Kiko lay on the ground, intending to swear a word or two, but the sand and stones flying all over the sky made him almost unable to open his eyes, let alone speak.

If the aftermath is like this, let alone the mutants below who bear the brunt.

Blocked at the slope, the few people who were about to rush up were immediately blasted out.

Their bodies were torn apart by the powerful explosion, and they couldn't even scream.

The crowd behind was also having a hard time, being engulfed by the huge kinetic energy and falling downward.

One after another, one piece fell like a tarot card.

"Boom!"

At the same time, the valve is finally closing.

The two metal plates collided heavily, making a dull sound.

"Success!"

Morris slumped to the ground.

The series of high-intensity shooting just now made his already serious injuries a little deeper.

"Drip~ The purification program has started~ The water level is being raised, please wait..."

In the rear, an electronic prompt suddenly sounded in the small house.

It was ancient language, but Morris didn't understand it.

The person who speaks is not a human being, and his imprint of communication cannot make him understand the meaning expressed by the machine.

But at this time, even if they don't understand, it doesn't prevent everyone from understanding what they want to express in those words.

Because in their ears, the sound of water being poured can already be clearly heard.

Obviously, this is a reservoir for purifying sewage.

And the most indispensable thing in the reservoir is water.

"Hoohooho!!"

The mutant below roared unwillingly.

But through the thick metal valve, the voice reached the ears of the rat extermination team, and it was only an insignificant whisper.

There was a look of cruelty in Morris' eyes.

Presumably, this will be the "last whisper" of those monsters.

Devil, it is better to stay in hell.

Time passed minute by minute.

At first, the sound of impact and roar could be heard from below, but as the water level continued to rise, and as the reservoir was filled with sewage, the movement inside became smaller and smaller, until finally it disappeared.

Everyone in the Rat Exterminator team gathered together and looked at each other. Their eyes were filled with the joy of surviving after the catastrophe, the joy of completing the task, and an imperceptible shock.

More than 100 people were killed in this way at once. Although they were already mutants who were no different from monsters, such a massacre still made their hearts feel a little heavy.

This is not to say that a few people have developed a psychology of sympathy.

It's purely just the little bit of guilt that comes with being a human being—or a humanoid creature—in other words.

However, when they thought about what these mutants had done, and what they had seen along the way, the sense of guilt in everyone's hearts suddenly disappeared.

"Lu Men! You've done a great job this time! It's thanks to you that we were able to complete the mission and go back alive!"

Kiko stood by the valve of the reservoir and began to praise Brother Glasses loudly.

"Captain, I suggest that after we go back, the rewards obtained from the missions should be distributed to our meritorious ministers! This time, I don't want my share, and give it all to Lumen!"

Morris was leaning against the wall, and Ashley was using the portable medical kit to treat his injuries briefly. Hearing this, he couldn't help squinting at him, and said with a smile:
"Jike, didn't you look like you wanted to eat him just now, why did you take the initiative to ask for credit for him now?"

The black burly man suddenly showed embarrassment, scratched his head and said:

"Boss, you know me, how can I have any bad intentions... I also misunderstood at the time, thinking that this kid wanted to run away alone... Lu Men, it's my fault, I shouldn't doubt you... "

He said and apologized to the glasses brother on the side.

The latter didn't take what happened just now to heart, but just waved his hand to indicate that it's okay.

"Okay, Lu Men's contribution must be credited to him. After all, without him, we might all have to confess here in the end, let alone killing so many mutants."

Morris spoke.

He took out Fanxing's mobile phone and briefly counted the harvest this time.

When calculating the total points obtained in the end, the captain couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"50 points! Add in the number of mission targets, and the final total is 500 points! Good guy! This directly catches up with us working for a year!"

He had a happy face, and the rest of the people were also very excited when they heard the words.

"Lu Men, by the way, how did you find the switch over there? I didn't even realize it was a water purification facility at first."

Morris turned his gaze to Brother Glasses, and asked the other two people what they were thinking.

At this moment, Lu Men didn't look like he was taking credit for it, and he still said calmly:

"It's very simple. You can make a judgment based on the terrain and surrounding facilities. The most important thing is..."

He pointed to the warning sign on the side of the road.

"We came this way, and there are these signs on both sides of the road. Even if you think with your toes, you should know that this must be a very dangerous facility."

Morris was stunned at first, then showed a surprised expression, and asked:
"Lu Men, can you understand the words on it? When did you learn the ancient language?"

The glasses brother pushed his glasses and explained:

"You don't need to know characters. Sometimes you can interpret a new language, and you can judge it by the environment in which it appears..."

"Especially such a warning sign that appears frequently, with the surrounding reservoir environment and the pattern on it, it is easy to guess what it means."

As he spoke, he pointed to the hut beside him and said:
"There is also the console over there, which is also very simple, one-button operation for fools, just look at it, just like in the game."

Everyone sighed secretly when they heard him tell the story of the process of breaking the game just now.

My teammate is getting stronger and stronger, and I already have the potential to become a big boss.

They are repairing here and plan to evacuate later. After reporting the situation here to the Star Alliance, it will be up to Wes to decide whether to come and accept the results.

However, somewhere they didn't notice, there was a sudden tremor on the thick valve.

The dust on its surface vibrated slightly, just like confetti on a stereo, faint and imperceptible.
