Chapter 541 Cannibals?
"Captain, there is no one in the closet, there are no signs of fighting, and no blood was found.
"It's the same here, I didn't find anything."
"Captain, the cable on the charging station of the mine cart is broken. It seems to have been torn off by something. There are bite marks."
"Captain, the main output cable of the main power station has been cut off by someone. The cut is very strange. It doesn't look like it was cut off by a sharp weapon. It seems like it was bitten and torn."
Listening to the reports of the mercenaries in the communicator, Li Meng frowned slightly in his helmet.
Cables are very tough, and even Akainu would not be able to bite them easily.
If the cable was bitten, was the mining stronghold attacked by a strange beast?
No, that's not right. If the mining stronghold is attacked by alien beasts, the cabinets, mine carts, and various equipment at the bottom of the mine will not be preserved so well and will leave very eye-catching traces.
Walking out of the closet, Li Meng glanced at the small screen on the door.
There is a standby amount on the screen, and the value bar has turned red. This means that the cabinet room has lost external power input and relies on its own reserve power to continue to supply the room's power consumption.
The remaining standby time is 7 hours.
At this moment, Xu Jianxiong's voice rang through the communicator.
"Captain, the communication tower has been destroyed, a big hole has appeared, and the core components inside have been destroyed."
It seems that something has indeed happened to this mining stronghold, and the people here are probably in danger.
Turning back slightly, Li Meng looked at a mine on the north side.
The mine is large enough to accommodate a minecart to drive inside. Looking inside, it is pitch black.
Taking a step forward, Li Meng walked towards the mine, saying as he walked: "Follow me, let's go to the mine to have a look."
After finishing speaking, Li Meng contacted Zhao Hongwen again and said: "Zhao Hongwen, be prepared for battle and be ready to support at any time."
"Yes, I will immediately mobilize all combatants and enter a state of combat readiness."
In the communicator, Li Meng got a response from Zhao Hongwen.
At this time, at the bottom of the mine, mercenaries gathered towards Li Meng due to Li Meng's order.
With a group of mercenaries, Li Meng entered the dark mine.
When the surroundings were surrounded by darkness, bright beams of light flashed and appeared, illuminating the road ahead.
There are two small searchlights on both sides of the protective suit and helmet, which are designed to deal with darkness.
Although the distance the light beam illuminates is not far, only about tens of meters, this distance is enough for the human eye, at least to be able to see what is ahead.
The mine is very close and the ground is very wet. Walking on the ground, the crisp footsteps echo in the depths of the mine.
Although searchlights illuminated the darkness ahead, the expressions on the mercenaries' faces were a little nervous.
The cause of tension is not the unknown threat, but the small, dark, closed space.
Being in a mine, the surrounding environment will make people nervous and the pressure will increase dramatically.
"Captain, what do you think that is?"
In the dark pit, the mercenary walking beside Li Meng let out a cry of surprise.
Just in front of the mine, blood appeared on the ground, and piles of corpses appeared under the searchlight.
This scene made the mercenaries pale, but no one stopped.
It was so tragic. When the mercenaries got close to the pile of corpses, they could personally feel the bloody cruelty.
Corpses, all corpses, broken corpses.
Some of them were disemboweled, their heads separated, and their broken limbs were mixed with blood. Even if filtered by the helmet's filtration system, the mercenaries could still smell the smell of blood.
"Captain, are these all people from Kangnan Mining Company?"
In the darkness, someone asked, his voice trembling.
"If they are people from Kangnan Mining Company, why are they naked? Where are their protective suits?"
Someone raised a question, which is also the biggest doubt.
The people in Black Flag City have been purified by the medical cabin to remove diseases, radiation, and immune systems from the radiation. This means that people in Black Flag City must wear protective clothing once they leave Black Flag City.
The radiation value in the new world is low, so you don't need to wear it, but you must take the relevant antibody medicine.
Looking at the broken limbs under the searchlight in front of him, Li Meng frowned slightly in his helmet.
This place is like a slaughterhouse, and humans are food, and they are slaughtered by something.
Li Meng withdrew his gaze from the pile of corpses and looked deep into the mine. There was only darkness and silence there.
In the team channel, Li Meng's voice rang.
"Be vigilant, they may still be here..."
Because of Li Meng's words, the mercenaries' faces tightened, they looked into the depths of the mine, and tightened their grip on the rifles in their hands.
"Click..."
Li Meng held the rifle in both hands, loaded the bullet, pointed the muzzle deep into the mine, and pulled the trigger.
"Bang bang..."
Tongues of fire spurted out, and streams of fire-colored light shot out, tearing apart the darkness and disappearing into the depths of the darkness.
The piercing sound of gunshots rang out in the mine, sweeping deeper and deeper.
The mercenaries immediately realized what the captain was doing and quickly loaded their bullets and got ready for battle.
"Dong, dong..."
A few seconds later, deep in the mine, there was a sudden movement.
It was like something crawling in the darkness, making a sound when its limbs touched the ground.
From the chaotic noise, one can feel that there are many of them and they are approaching rapidly.
Closer, closer, the waves of movement are almost within reach, and it seems that they will rush into the direction illuminated by the searchlight at any time.
The mercenaries dispersed and fought side by side in the mine, with the black muzzles of their guns pointed at the depths of darkness.
What could it be?
A strange beast?
With a solemn expression on his face, Li Meng suddenly put down his gun and pulled a flare from his waist.
Throwing it hard, the flare shot out and flew into the depths of darkness.
"Pop..."
About sixty meters deep in the darkness, a dazzling white light suddenly flashed, dispelling the darkness around.
As the darkness was driven away, a group of hideous figures appeared in the eyes of the mercenaries within the range of the shining white light.
They were everywhere, on the ground, on the walls of the cave, and on the top above. They were crawling at a very fast speed. There was no telling how many of them there were, like ants leaving their nests, swarming in.
What was that?
When everyone saw the appearance of the attacking monsters, they had a question in their mind.
Although they crawled forward, they looked like humans, naked, without any hair, and their limbs were also degenerated, making them crawl forward like wild beasts. Their skin was grayish white, their heads were abnormally swollen, their faces were exposed with fangs, and their pupils were bloodshot.
"They are cannibals. I have seen their information in the think tank."
Cannibals?
