Text Chapter 1736 Flames of Doom

Looking at the gate in front of them, the captain and the adjutant looked at each other, glanced at the team members behind them, and the captain gestured for a temporary rest. Two team members were in charge of guarding near the gate, while others rested in place. I don't know if it's because of being underground, or because there is a steel gate at the end of the tunnel. There is a mysterious atmosphere everywhere here, no one talks to the team members, they just drink water silently and eat bread to satisfy their hunger.

"Captain, this is probably an old military base." After checking the situation near the gate, the black adjutant returned to the captain and whispered: "The material used for the gate, the design of the rails, and other auxiliary equipment are obviously not ours. The current mana technology."

"An old military base?" The captain took off his helmet, rubbed his hair and said, "Okay, let's see what's inside."

He stood up and said in a deep voice, "Get up, let's go. Check your equipment, I need you to fight at any time."

All the team members quickly conducted a self-inspection of equipment, the captain gestured to the adjutant, and the black adjutant took a magic rifle from his back. This rifle named "Storm" can carry out rapid strikes and fire suppression. It is most appropriate to cover. The captain took out a magic pistol, activated the pistol, and raised the pistol first and walked towards the gap in the gate.

Others filed in.

The air behind the door is dry, and the players can breathe easily, which shows that the air circulation in the base is good. Everyone's tactical helmets have activated infrared vision mode, and no one dares to use the flashlight on the helmet in this dim environment. Otherwise, it is simply a living target for sports.

Entering from the gate is a downward passage. The passage is very spacious. It cannot be seen from the road signs that this is a two-way passage, which can accommodate four armored vehicles passing side by side at the same time. There is no major damage to the structure of the passage, from this point of view, the quality of the military base is still very good. After all, it has only been two hundred years since the popularization of mana technology, so it can be inferred that this base was a product of at least two centuries ago, and the environment of the base can still maintain a general appearance, which is very rare.

There is no lighting in the base, like a dead tomb. This silent march, even for these well-trained soldiers, is under tremendous mental pressure. This passage seemed to have no end, and when the captain saw the road ahead, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

The road post has been abandoned, and the electronic system has long ceased to function. Across the road post, there is a platform behind it. Judging from the nearby signs, this should be a transfer platform for cargo transportation. The materials from the outside world are delivered here and handed over, and then transported in by the internal vehicles of the base. There are several passages on the platform leading to the car elevators, but without power, these elevators are naturally at a standstill.

Moments later, the team finds a staircase on the east side of the platform.

Standing at the dark entrance, the captain made a guard gesture, and then entered first with the adjutant. After walking for a while, there were some slight noises from below, and the captain pulled his head out from the handrail. The visor of the tactical helmet showed the picture below. Just at the stairs below, a black shadow was lying on the stairs blocking the way. It seemed to feel the captain's gaze, it moved, and then raised its head.

The captain quickly shrank back, even though he was as experienced as him, his heart was beating heavily. In the momentary looking at each other just now, he saw a monster. It was the monster that took away his soldiers, but it was unknown whether it was the same one.

It is only certain that there are such monsters hiding in this military base, and these beasts are definitely not a product of nature. Those cold eyes didn't look like beasts at all, but more like well-trained soldiers.

And it was the kind trained to be a killing machine.

The captain gestured to the adjutant, who understood, and whispered to a soldier behind him, "Let the scout robot out."

The soldier unloads the tactical backpack and takes out a box from it. Open it, and inside is a reconnaissance machine disguised as an insect. After activating it, the robot flies down the stairs, and can see the picture under the stairs through the screen on the tactical board.

Sure enough, there was a monster lying on the stairs below, the size of a calf, with a lion's head and horns, and humanoid arms. The muscles of the two arms are swollen, but the hind limbs are like the legs of a farm ox, with shiny black hooves. On the screen, the monster seemed to have discovered the robot. When it looked up, a flame burst out between the horns of its head. Immediately, the fire shone brightly on the screen, making it impossible to see, and then the screen lost its signal. It was obvious that the robot had been destroyed.

The captain's heart was heavy. The monster acted like a sentinel, destroying any suspicious things that passed by. At this time, the adjutant bumped into him, and the captain realized that there was a fire under the stairs. He raised the visor of his tactical helmet, only to see that the fire was so obvious in the dark stairs, and it was getting brighter and brighter. After a while, a shadow appeared around the corner.

The monster is coming towards them!

The captain immediately gestured to retreat, and at this moment, screams sounded from behind. When he turned his head, he saw a monster jumping down from the top of the stairs. The two curved horns on the head propped up one of his soldiers. Seeing this, the other soldiers raised their rifles and greeted the monster. A rain of bullets swept across the monster, spattering it with blood. But it didn't even bark, dropped the soldier, and spewed out a ball of flames when it opened its mouth.

At this time, another monster under the stairs also appeared in front of the captain, being flanked by front and back, the captain could only shout: "Kill these two monsters!"

The team was divided into two sides, with about seven or eight people on each side, and concentrated their firepower to shoot down the two monsters. The storm rifle in the hands of the black adjutant poured out even more. A light rain fell on the monster. The power of the magic rifle was obviously higher than that of ordinary firearms. In a blink of an eye, the monster was shot into a sieve. But its vitality was extremely tenacious, and its whole body was dripping with blood, but it still rushed forward desperately. The black adjutant simply put away his rifle and let out a roar, his two fists were entwined with flowing blue flames, and he punched the monster head-on.

This head smashed the monster's skull with the sound of shattering, but the monster also left a few claw marks on the adjutant's body before hanging his head down to die.

The adjutant stepped back, his chest was dripping with blood, and even his face was cut, but fortunately he was fine. The captain patted him on the shoulder, then turned to kill the monster on the stairs. Under the cover of his team members, he raised his gun and rushed forward. Several blood-red Yuanli bullets shot out from the muzzle of the gun, hitting the forehead of the monster's head one after another with astonishing precision.

When he stopped, the monster had closed its eyes and died, but the captain was not happy at all. Looking at these two monsters covered in bullet holes, the captain only felt a sense of discomfort, these things are too scary, they don't know how to retreat at all, and their vitality is frighteningly tenacious. If there were more monsters like this...

At this time, the adjutant came over and said, "Captain, don't you think these monsters are the same as the Burning Legion that the lord showed us?"

The captain nodded and said, "We have to go back."

"Can't save people?"

"It can't be saved." The captain shook his head and said, "You've seen it too. It's just that we have to do our best for things like the two ends. God knows how many there are in this base. On the contrary, we have to pass this information back, which is even more important. .”

The adjutant nodded, raised his rifle suddenly and shouted, "Who's there?"

The captain suddenly raised his head, only to see a figure appearing at the top of the stairs at some point, and he turned on the flashlight on his helmet to shine it. Appearing in the beam of light was a boy, about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a gingham shirt. Except for the smudges on his body, he was no different from the big kids that are common in the countryside. The only difference is that he should not appear in this tomb-like base.

"Are you from Ivan Village?" asked the captain.

There was no reaction from the boy.

The captain frowned and said, "We are here to save you, kid, tell us, how did you come here? Who brought you here."

"He." The boy finally spoke.

"Him? Who is he?"

The boy didn't speak, just raised his hand and pointed to the back of the crowd. The captain turned his head, but there was nothing behind him. Looking back, I saw the boy's body twisting unnaturally, the thin body was expanding, and then exploded like a balloon. Blood and tissue splashed all over the floor, and the captain and adjutant were covered with the boy's flesh. Then there was another monster where the boy was. It was the same as the monsters just now, but smaller. The monster raised its head, flames spewed out from the corner, and then rushed over silently.

The captain and the lieutenant opened fire at the same time, and the two magic weapons concentrated their fire, strafing the monster and falling back to the stairs. After confirming that it was dead, the two exchanged glances.

"How did this happen, people turned into monsters? Could it be that the villagers in Iwan Village have all turned into monsters?" There was already a bit of fear in the adjutant's voice: "Could it be that what we shot and killed just now was actually from Iwan Village? villagers?"

It was not impossible, and the boy had shown them how he had turned from man to monster. If so, it would be too scary. What is in this base that can turn people into monsters?

"That's right, soldier." A deep voice came from under the stairs.

The captain and adjutant turned around and saw their soldiers lying on the stairs at some point. Standing behind them was a man wearing a hood, and his long black hair was full of sparks, constantly falling around the man.

The man suddenly raised his hood, revealing the dark red battle armor on his body. There are faces on that battle armor, and each face has a different expression, which looks extremely weird and evil. The man smiled and said: "As long as it touches my flame, no matter what kind of life it is, it will be transformed into a soldier of the Burning Legion. This is my flame of doom, the mighty power of Callistan!"
