long night fire

Having said that, Jiang Baimian let out an "oops":

"I almost forgot to remind you that you can't say the word 'Black Rat Town' in front of them. This is the code name given to their settlement by some homeless people in the wilderness. It is highly discriminatory, and the people in Black Rat Town It’s also the kind with strong self-esteem. Inside the company, there is no hatred for this person, but disgust, contempt, and rejection are definitely indispensable, so this name is used.”

"Then why did the company accept them?" Bai Chen, who was driving, couldn't help asking.

As a former wanderer in the wilderness, she has encountered hostility and attacks for no reason several times, coupled with the nightmarish appearance of the other party, she has a serious lack of affection for this group, and sometimes even treats it as something Intelligent dangerous creatures to treat.

Jiang Baimian said silently for a while:

"The residents of Black Rat Town don't have too much resentment towards humans, and they usually regard themselves as normal people.

"If it weren't for their sensitivity and low self-esteem, and the internal employees of the company are full of prejudice against inferior people, the company may gradually absorb them instead of treating them as peripheral vassals.

"Actually, it's not considered a vassal. It's closer to a cooperative relationship. We exchange weapons, ammunition, old clothes, and a certain amount of food with them for the valuable things they have collected. At the same time, they will share important news on the Black Marsh wilderness. By radio back to the company, yes, the company collects used clothes from you for a similar transaction."

Having said that, Jiang Baimian paused:

"The company will also recruit volunteers for certain experiments in Black Rat Town.

"In this regard, the residents of Black Rat Town are very enthusiastic. They are willing to give everything in exchange for the chance of their descendants becoming normal people."

Jiang Baimian didn't add his own feelings to the narration, but Bai Chen still heard a burst of emotion:

"On the dirt, the stain on the company's reputation is always being associated with biological experiments.

"Before I had in-depth contact with you, I had heard a lot of rumors. I was full of fear of similar experiments. I was afraid that one day I would be caught by 'Pangeon creatures' and sent to a secret place. I would become a victim of evil experiments. I was afraid of being tortured. Suffering from a mental breakdown, deformed body, becoming a monster, he couldn't even die in a human form.

"And the people in Black Rat Town will take the initiative to sign up to be experimental volunteers..."

After listening to Bai Chen's words, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong realized that the company had such an image in the eyes of outsiders, just like the big villain in some stories on radio programs.

This is completely different from their cognition since childhood:

They have always believed that the company is a paradise inside, but the outside world is in dire straits.

Jiang Baimian laughed when he heard the words:

"It can be heard that such fear has been suppressed in your heart for a long time, that's why you said so much in one breath."

She then raised her left arm and made an elbow flexion:

"This electric eel-shaped biological prosthesis is the result of experiments, and so is genetic modification.

"How is it? After seeing this with your own eyes, don't you think it's not so scary?"

Bai Chen remained silent and did not answer.

"...Understood." Jiang Baimian laughed at himself, "You are even more scared when you see me like this."

She exhaled invisibly:

"You're right about one thing, most of those volunteers ended up not very well..."

Inside the jeep, the atmosphere became tense, and no one spoke for a long time.

After several seconds, Jiang Baimian turned his head to look at Shang Jianyao, "complaining" and said:

"Why don't you make a joke at this time?"

Shang Jian Yao Zhengse replied:

"As a person who is determined to save all mankind, I never joke about similar topics."

"... also." Jiang Baimian sat upright again.

After a while, she pointed to the front and said:

"Turn left and go into the mountains."

Here, a hill appeared on the Black Marsh wilderness, some could even be called hills, and Black Rat Town was located in the mountains.

After driving along the bumpy road for a while, Jiang Baimian couldn't help rolling down the window:

"Really, the distance you move up and down adds up to more than the distance you travel.

"If you go out like this once, you will definitely have to overhaul the chassis when you go back..."

While complaining, Jiang Baimian suddenly closed his mouth.

She turned her head slightly, felt carefully for a while, and gradually frowned:

"There are very few electrical signals in the direction of Black Rat Town."

This has entered her sensing range, and it also shows that Black Rat Town is very close.

Shang Jianyao instinctively raised the "Berserker" assault rifle, and put it on the car window:

"Could it be affected by the anomalies north of Yuelu Station?"

It's not close to Yuelu Station, but it's not too far. It takes about half a day to get there.

"Maybe." Jiang Baimian nodded, his tone obviously more dignified than before.

"Leader, do I need to wear an exoskeleton device?" Long Yuehong asked calmly, no longer as startled as she was a few days ago.

"Yes." Jiang Baimian didn't take the unknown situation lightly.

She then ordered:

"You come and dress."

"Why not Shang Jianyao?" Long Yuehong blurted out.

"Shang Jianyao wants to follow me into Black Rat Town, but the exoskeleton device can't get in, uh, in fact, he can get in, but he can't use it." Jiang Baimian explained briefly.

Shang Jianyao had no opinion on this, kept silent, and was on high alert for any abnormalities that might come suddenly.

After Long Yuehong put on the exoskeleton device, the jeep continued to drive.

Two or three minutes later, Jiang Baimian issued an order:

"parking."

She immediately pointed to the woods and bushes in front of her:

"Black Rat Town is over there.

"Long Yuehong leads the way."

"Yes, team leader!" Long Yuehong opened the door first and got out of the car.

After a group of four entered the relatively dense woods, they walked for several minutes when they suddenly smelled a familiar smell.

That's the smell of blood!

"This is a big trouble..." Jiang Baimian suddenly murmured to himself, as if he had already thought of the possible development.

Holding the grenade gun, she sped up her pace slightly and walked towards the other end of the woods.

There was a grey-yellow mountain wall there, and there was a deep cave where the mountain wall was covered by trees and weeds, and a more intense smell of blood escaped from it.

"That's Black Rat Town." Jiang Baimian said in a low voice.

Just at a glance, Long Yuehong understood the reason why the exoskeleton device could not function in Black Rat Town:

The entrance of that cave is only 1.4 meters high, and the exoskeleton device can't reach this level even if it is retracted and adjusted, and the inside of the cave will be obviously shorter.

In this way, after the person wearing the exoskeleton device enters the Black Rat Town, which is essentially a cave, he can't even straighten his waist, and his combat effectiveness will naturally be greatly reduced.

Before approaching the cave, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian looked to the left at the same time, and saw two corpses under a tree.

The two corpses were very short, their bodies tended to curl up, and their clothes were stripped clean.

Their nails are sharp and hard, obviously yellow, and there are a lot of black hairs on the body surface. At first glance, they look like giant rats in heavily polluted areas.

However, those fine hairs are not dense, and one can see the rather pale skin underneath through them.

The eyes of the two corpses were wide open, and the remaining expressions were horrified and resentful. Their bodies and surroundings were soaked in blood that looked no different from normal humans.

Frankly speaking, apart from thicker hair, shorter stature, weird nails, and paler skin, Shang Jianyao didn't think there was any fundamental difference between the two dead residents of Black Rat Town and himself.

It was not the first time Long Yuehong saw a corpse. Although she was still a little scared, disgusted, and didn't want to look directly, she was able to control herself.

He hissed and said:

"It's not like they're all dead..."

Hearing this, Jiang Baimian turned his head subconsciously and looked at the deep cave, but he didn't have the courage to go in immediately.

She seemed to be able to foresee what kind of scene it would be inside.

At this time, Bai Chen, who knelt down to examine the corpse, raised his head and said in a deep voice:

"Died by shooting."

Jiang Baimian narrowed his eyes slightly, and said to himself:

"Who would have done it..."

After speaking, she took a light breath and walked towards the entrance of "Black Rat Town".

Without ordering, Shang Jianyao followed closely behind her.

Chapter 49 scene

When approaching the entrance of the cave, Jiang Baimian stopped, turned his head and said to Long Yuehong wearing the exoskeleton device:

"You are on guard here."

She thought for a while and added:

"Look out of the grove more. If the jeep is lost, Bai Chen and I have nothing to do with it. You will have some 'enjoyment'. Many things can be accepted and adapted by human beings if they are done step by step. Just pull it to the difficulty of hell, and most creatures will collapse directly."

"Yes, team leader!" Not only was Long Yuehong not disappointed about not being able to enter Black Rat Town, but heaved a sigh of relief.

From the residents of Black Rat Town who died outside, he seemed to be able to foresee the tragedy in the cave, and suspected that it would have a strong impact on his spirit, leaving a psychological shadow that needed treatment.

After ordering Long Yuehong, Jiang Baimian turned around, bent down, and walked into the entrance of the cave which was about 1.4 meters high.

Shang Jianyao and Bai Chen were holding weapons, one left and one right followed behind, but one had a hard back and knees, and it was a bit difficult to walk, and the other was relatively better.

They didn't observe outside first to confirm the general situation before entering as the training manual said. Instead, they fully believed in the team leader's ability to sense weak electrical signals.

In this regard, Jiang Baimian has already shown enough credibility.

There is still skylight shining at the entrance of the cave, which makes people barely able to see the surrounding situation clearly, but the further inside, the darker it becomes, until you can't see your fingers.

At this time, Jiang Baimian took out a flashlight with a silver shell and obvious graininess, and pushed the switch on.

A yellowish beam of light shot out, illuminating a certain area in front of it, combined with the natural light approaching the entrance, allowing Shang Jianyao to initially see what the scene in front of him looked like:

This cave is fairly wide, but the deeper part is still shrouded in darkness, with no end in sight.

There used to be a series of naturally formed stone pillars here, but all of them were broken at this time, and a large number of stones, moss, and dust fell from the roof of the cave, covering the surface.

The ground takes the center of Jiang Baimian's flashlight as the origin, and traces of flames radiate outward in a circular shape.

In the inner pothole closest to the origin, there are no bones that can be called intact. There are only countless charred black and red pieces of meat and blood mixed among the stones and soil.

In the middle circle outside the potholes, one after another small corpses lay down, their bodies were scorched black, with many broken places, and their death conditions were extremely miserable.

With the movement of Jiang Baimian's flashlight, Shang Jianyao saw what was going on outside the central circle and near the edge of the cave wall:

Similarly, the corpses of residents of Black Rat Town fell to the ground in various states, but their bodies were basically intact, with only certain burn marks. In addition, some thick black hairs remained.

Some of them had no obvious injuries, some had terrible bullet wounds on their backs and chests, and many of them had no clothes.

In the cave where Shang Jianyao looked, there was nothing left except for the porcelain bowls, pottery bowls, and clay bowls that were broken into small pieces.

There is no need for anyone to explain such a scene, both Shang Jianyao and Bai Chen instantly understood a fact:

Black Rat Town was slaughtered.

Jiang Baimian looked around silently, sighed and said:

"It may be a thermobaric bomb launched by a shoulder-mounted individual combat weapon...

"Those who didn't die on the spot were also shot.

"Very professional."

Thermobaric bombs are a combination of high-explosive bombs and fuel-air bombs, and are mainly used to kill enemies in limited spaces such as caves and underground bunkers.

After the thermobaric bomb explodes, it will exhaust the surrounding oxygen, release a large amount of energy, and produce a fireball that expands at a high speed.This fireball will ravage the limited environment with the high-pressure shock wave, killing the enemy and destroying the equipment to the greatest extent.

For a place like Black Rat Town where the entrance is only 1.4 meters high, it is obviously an unwise choice to rush in and fight the residents who have adapted to this environment. The best way is to directly fire thermobaric bombs and various bombs into it.
