In the dim light, the floating dust swirled in the ubiquitous mist, like a lonely dancer.

Black mist, an exclusive product that only exists in the reverse world, is the culprit of the gloomy environment. They absorb a large amount of light and heat, making the world behind the Kraf Gate always so dark and gloomy.

Next to the rusty iron cabinet with cardboard boxes and documents, a man wearing a red protective suit and a hooded helmet was flipping through the things on the cabinet. Those things had been there for who knows how many years, and they broke into pieces when touched.

For fly ash.

"This reverse world No. 127 really makes me sick. Look, the civilization it once existed is so similar to ours. Even if I see another me here, I won't be surprised."

Turning around, his tone was a little impatient: "What's going on, Tianyang, can't you contact our team?"

There was a faint light on the protective suit, which was the miniature searchlight on the shoulder. The effective distance of the light was originally short, and coupled with the absorption of the black fog in the air, the light became even dimmer.

With the help of light, you can barely see that this seems to be a room like an archives.

Papers were scattered on the ground, with messy footprints all over them. Someone was squatting on a thick stack of documents, playing with a standard communicator.

This instrument, which looks like a radio, can be used for communication in the reverse world and can send and receive data.

Built-in security devices prevent unauthorized interception and include receiving antennas, frequency conversion modules, hardening modules and backup matrix circuits.

Now, a person called Tianyang is installing components on the communicator to enhance signal transmission.

Even so, the electronic noise fed back from the communicator indicates a difficult future for this team.

"...This is the fourth team of the collection team. I am Tianyang. My soldier code is 1507. Please reply when my team receives it."

After several attempts to no avail, Tianyang raised his head. In the light, he could see a childlike face in the helmet.

"We can't contact you, captain. Maybe we went too deep and have exceeded the transmission limit of the communication terminal."

Not far away, someone kicked a shelf hard, pointed at the captain in red protective clothing and shouted: "This is all your fault, Qin Wu! If you hadn't been hot-headed, we wouldn't have been cut off by those damn prowlers now.

Escape!"

Captain Qin Wu pointed at the fourth team member guarding the door and said, "Can you blame me? If this bastard Dong Yan hadn't vowed to find the signal of the Star Marrow Pillar, I would have led you over here."

The team member at the door argued: "My digital model is correct. According to the recent Prowler activity data, there must be a star pillar nearby!"

Qin Wu rushed over and grabbed his protective clothing: "Then tell me, where is Xingzhu now?"

"Quiet!"

Tianyang raised his hand and clenched it into a fist, which was a warning gesture.

All members of the collection team, including the captain, looked nervously outside the door.

The walls of the passage outside the door are mottled and covered with mold.

At the corner not far away, there were some strange sounds.

Like the dying gasp of a critically ill patient, or like the deep roar of a wounded beast.

Tianyang took out a fluorescent stick from the tool bag at his waist.

Qin Wu became nervous: "What are you going to do?"

"We need lighting. Don't worry, Captain, the Prowler doesn't respond to light sources."

Tianyang bent the fluorescent rod and threw it out. The fluorescent rod fell to the corner of the passage. The chemicals in it began to react, and the cold light gradually lit up.

In the cold blue-gray light, everyone could see clearly that several figures appeared on the wall at the corner.

Those figures were extremely distorted and swaying, wandering in the corridor on the other side.

Suddenly, he caught a hand in the corner of the wall. The skin on that hand was ulcerated, secreting a dark green pus. It was sticky and dripped to the ground, making a sizzling sound.

Like water dripping onto hot rocks...

The collection team member's heart was in his throat, but fortunately, the hand quickly retracted.

"It's the Prowler, it's them!" The team member named Dongyan stepped back repeatedly, "Captain, let's leave quickly. I don't want to be caught by those things!"

"But how?" another team member shouted, "Even if we rush through this corridor, there are more prowlers downstairs. They are everywhere, downstairs, on the street, and in every building!"

"Shut up, everyone!"

Qin Wu tightened the attacker's rifle in his hand and his eyes flickered: "It seems that this is the only way."

He turned around and stretched out his hand towards Tianyang: "Recruit, give me your gun!"

Inside the hooded helmet, Tianyang's face was obviously filled with hesitation.

He subconsciously tightened his grip on the rifle.

The Raider rifle is the standard equipment of the collection team. Although this live ammunition gun that fires solid warheads has limited power, the gun body is clumsy.

But if the distance is right, the Prowler's cage of will can still be destroyed, which is the only way to stop these people of darkness.

So handing over the gun is tantamount to handing over your life.

At this time, the light of the fluorescent stick began to disappear. In the gradually dimming light, a foot stepped over, completely extinguishing the cold light at the corner.

Those twisted figures began to come, and in the dark passage, the pale light emitted by the Prowler's Will Cage was like a will-o'-the-wisp floating in the cemetery!

"Quick! I'll stop them, you go first!"

Qin Wu urged: "I need enough firepower. Damn it, can I still hurt you?"

Tianyang bit his lip: "Okay."

The boy handed over his rifle and a magazine.

Qin Wu took it and waved: "You leave from the window, climb up, and find another way out. Tianyang, you go first!"

Tianyang nodded, turned around and ran towards the window.

Then he opened his legs.

Boom!

The boy's whole body was shaken, and the blood spurting out from his right thigh reflected on the helmet's visor like a blooming flower.

Staggering, the young man fell to the ground.

This sudden change shocked the other two team members.

Qin Wu shouted: "Why are you still standing there? Come with me. There are too many prowlers in the building. Now his protective suit is torn. The type-B pheromones released will attract those dark bastards. This is our only

Opportunity!"

I see!

Whether it was because he was injured or because he was betrayed, the young man felt his hands and feet were cold.

Anger burned in his chest, surged through his veins, and finally turned into a loud roar.

"Qin Wu, why!"

In the helmet, Qin Wu sneered: "There are so many reasons. I am a citizen of the fortress and have a distinguished status. A dog like you who lives in the lower class now has the opportunity to die for me. You should feel honored!"

"You bastard!"

Tianyang wanted to hold up his body and fight Qin Wu.

The black muzzle of the attacker's rifle made him stop.

At the same time, it also calmed him down. Tianyang realized that anger could not change anything. Only by thinking calmly could he have a chance to survive.

Qin Wu pointed his gun at the young man, then looked at the other two people: "Do you want to leave? If not, stay here with him!"

Leaving these words behind, Qin Wu walked towards the window.

The two team members looked at me and I looked at you, and finally chose to leave with the captain.

"etc!"

Tianyang took out a dagger, turned the tip upside down, and pointed at his heart.

"You can leave if you want. Give me a first aid kit and two units of survival supplies!"

Qin Wu suddenly became anxious: "Why do you still have a knife in your hand!"

Daggers are not included in the standard equipment of the collection team.

Tianyang sneered, this dagger was given to him by his mother for self-defense before departure. She spent all her savings to buy this alloy dagger.

The young man hid it carefully and was reluctant to take it out for use. Naturally, Qin Wu didn't know its existence.

"Qin Wu, I don't need to remind you. Dead people don't release type-B pheromones. If you don't give me something, I'm going to die anyway, so I might as well kill myself now!" Tianyang shouted, with a determined look in his eyes.

Inside the helmet, Qin Wu was sweating profusely and his eyes were filled with hesitation.

Tianyang looked at the other two team members: "Maybe you have to persuade Captain Qin Wu, otherwise if I die, maybe one of you will be abandoned next."

"After all, you are also subordinates who can be sacrificed at any time, aren't you?"

Dong Yan and another team member couldn't help but swallowed their saliva and tightened their grip on the rifles in their hands. Although they did not dare to point the guns directly at Qin Wu, they put their fingers on the trigger.

Qin Wu could see this detail clearly and couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Of course he knew that this new recruit was putting pressure on him. To be honest, he had not expected this situation just now.

If he knew Tianyang was so difficult to deal with, maybe he should have changed his target just now.
