Chapter 70: Born to Heaven

Lin Xiang was like a ghost, running quickly towards the depths of the passage.

Most of the footholds he chose were dry ground. Occasionally, he stepped on the wet mud surface, which would reduce the sound of footsteps to the lowest as the muscles of his legs contracted. It sounded like a human being running at all, but more like an agile lizard walking through the cracks of stones.

With the help of the inertia caused by high-speed movement, Lin Xiang rushed directly from the ground to the center of the vertical pipe wall from time to time, flexibly rolled out a beautiful arc, and instantly accelerated, jumping out more than ten meters away like a bullet out of the borehole. The soft rubber sole gently tapped the cement pipe wall, making a dull and empty tread sound and a thin and silent tread, and the footsteps that were sometimes strong and sometimes weak were mixed with each other, and spread far in the dark pipes.

The curved circular channel can refract long echoes, tramplings at different directions and different footsteps can disrupt the frequency of sound wave transmission. It is difficult for trackers to lock the exact position of the sound source, and they can only run back and forth in the maze-like underground pipes like headless flies.

At a right-angle intersection, he found three mercenaries who were stretched against the wall, exhausted and breathing like a cow.

"Thank you, thank you for saving us."

The first thing I talked about was a tall white man. He looked about twenty-five years old. His sharpened face looked a little thin. His tall nose bridge made his eyes look deeper and deeper. His overall figure was very symmetrical. His curly light brown hair fell from his forehead, covering the marks of rising eyebrows.

"My name is Henderson, these two are Marcas and Bai Wei. If you hadn't appeared in time, we might have become the dim sum of those monsters, just like poor Larson. Thank you, thank you so much."

The man enthusiastically introduced the other two teammates, and his words were filled with uncontrollable excitement and tension, and even some too obvious excitement and compliments.

Lin Xiang did not answer and turned his eyes to the other two mercenaries who remained silent.

"My name is Marcas, thank you!" The bald mercenary, who was as thick as a sand lane, walked up and nodded vigorously. The short language style was as thick as the bulging and distinct muscles on his body.

The mercenary leaned against the wall and looked at Lin Xiang with a complicated expression. Her slightly opened lips and flickering eyes showed that she was struggling with intense thinking.

This is a very beautiful Asian woman. Judging from her appearance, she is about twenty years old. Her black hair tied into a ponytail scattered on the surface of her neck with a pale yellow skin. The gray-green military camouflage wraps her proudly curved body. Her perky buttocks and round and convex breasts stretch the upper and lower ends of the combat suit to the extreme.

"Can you take us out?" She bit her slightly red lips, her black eyes covered by long, curved eyelashes, staring coldly at Lin Xiang at a squint angle from bottom to top.

Lin Xiang didn't say anything. He narrowed his eyes slightly, focusing his eyes on the center of a black pattern the size of a thumb on the left side of the other party's collar.

It was a knight battle helmet embroidered with black silk thread and a medieval style.

"We are all mercenaries under the Famo Company." Seeing this, Henderson hurriedly walked up, flipped up his collar, revealing the same pattern as it was.

Lin Xiang asked in a low voice: "How much ammunition do you have?"

This is his most concerned issue at the moment.

The three mercenaries looked at each other, Marcas tightly grasped the fire axe in his hand, Henderson pulled out a serrated dagger from his backpack, and Bai Wei pulled down the pistol magazine, took out five bullets, and pressed them into the vacant box one by one.

"I'm in front, you're behind, pay attention to the movements around you and take as lighter as possible." Lin Xiang did not make any comments on this, and simply explained a few words, then turned around and walked towards the depths of the pipe.

He doesn't like to waste time, and his purpose is to leave here alive.

Just as he turned around, Henderson, who had always been grateful and smiling on his face, suddenly jumped up without warning, pounced forward like a wolf, and pressed the sharp dagger saw blade tightly on Lin Xiang's neck.

"What do you want to do?" Lin Xiang's soft voice was filled with magnetism that was enough to please the senses, and was filled with ice-like cold and murderous intent.

"Put down your backpack, ammunition, and gun." Henderson put his hands together with his messy hair on his forehead, and his sharp eyes stared at Lin Xiang's eyes.

Marcas and Bai Wei stood not far away and looked at the scene coldly. There was no pity or guilt in their eyes. As if all this was taken for granted.

"Just for this?" Lin Xiang's tone was as plain as if he was talking about other people's affairs.

"I can't feel any evolution or strengthening ability from you. Ordinary people cannot live to leave this damn place." Henderson gritted his teeth and cursed, his hand holding the dagger tightened and added a little strength, and said in a slightly ferocious tone: "Yes, you saved us. If you didn't have you, we would die. I don't want to do this. You are a good person, but God will not give you a way out for your kindness. I don't want to kill you, hand over all the equipment you have and follow us, you will be very safe."

"Are you finished?" Lin Xiang asked without calmly.

"Boy, don't act like a mysterious look." His expression and tone made Henderson feel that his face was as hot as fire. He tried hard to suppress the desire to roar in his heart, and growled in a hurry and nervous manner: "My patience is limited, and I will say it again in the end - put the gun down!"

Lin Xiang looked at him coldly, his muscles suddenly tightened, and his arms and shoulders suddenly moved out of the range that the dagger could control. In a flash, his ghostly figure had quickly turned to Henderson's side, and the thick shotgun hole pressed against the slightly lower part of his ear.

The sudden change shocked the three mercenaries.

"You...why are you..." Henderson couldn't believe his eyes. He had never imagined that humans could have such a terrible speed. It felt like a wind that could not capture shapes, floating, swift, and deadly.

"Level 3 evolution, very excellent strength." Lin Xiang pointed out Henderson's ability in a faint tone. His right leg suddenly bent and accelerated, and he used his knee to hit the opponent's soft side ribs. His arm quickly changed an angle that was more conducive to balance as Henderson's body moved, and inserted the cold shotgun into the opponent's wide open mouth, completely blocking the normal channel for making screams.

Bai Wei, who was standing next to her, looked very ugly. She stared at Lin Xiang's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and repeated the question she had asked again: "Can you... really take us out of here?"

As long as you are not a fool, you are very clear about the current strength comparison. This young man in front of you who is so beautiful that women are jealous is definitely not as incompetent as you imagine.

"This is not something that someone can do just by saying it." Lin Xiang glanced vigilantly at the pistol that had been closed in her hand, and slowly pulled the muzzle out of Henderson's mouth: "This requires cooperation."

"As long as you can get out of here alive, you will get enough reward." Bai Wei tried hard to raise her breasts, deliberately deepening her breathing depth so that the ups and downs of her breasts became more obvious and attractive.

The humanoids have proved their strength with violence and cruelty. Perhaps the individual strength of these mutated creatures is not as powerful as that of mercenaries, but they have made up for this gap with absolute numbers. God knows how many terrible humanoids are in the entire underground pipeline, but one thing is certain - without enough ammunition, it is never possible to walk to the point b marked on the map with a dagger and fire axe alone.

The ground of the passage is rugged and uneven, even if it is hard as cement, it cannot maintain its complete form under the soaking of silt and sewage for nearly a century.

The disgusting smell permeates the thin air, perhaps the dirty mud on the ground, or some kind of rotten creature, or it may be a combination of all kinds of strange smells left since the beginning of construction. In short, no one can find the exact source of the smell, so they can only try to hold their breath, endure the strong disturbance, and slowly move forward.

Lin Xiang walked at the front of the team. A little far behind him, three mercenaries from Famo Company formed an inverted triangle, wrapping him tightly in it.

No one spoke, and with the occasional glowing moss in the passage, the mercenaries could clearly see unconcealed fear and shock from each other's blurry eyes.

From the time of departure to the present, plus the time of eating and rest, twelve hours passed.

Lin Xiang did not turn on the flashlight and forbid them to do similar actions. The four of them walked silently in the darkness.

Corners, intersections, pipeline branches... Every time the routes differ, the young man would always take them to choose the suitable passage. At the beginning, the mercenaries were somewhat jealous of this arrogant arbitrary. But they soon discovered that Lin Xiang was right.

Along the way, he encountered no mutant creatures. The brutal aphrodisiac seemed to have completely disappeared and completely disappeared from this dark and humid underground world.

The mercenaries did not think that such things that only existed in fantasy would actually happen. Apart from the illusory imagination, there were only two situations that were consistent with reality.

First, Lin Xiang has been here before and knows every corner of the underground world.

Second, his perception ability has evolved extremely strongly, and the detection distance of sensing organs such as brain, eyes, ears and nose far exceeds that of mutated organs.

No matter from which perspective, the first guess always has doubts of one kind or another. Naturally, mercenaries can only tend toward the second possibility.

This also means that Lin Xiang is stronger than they thought.

At a corner near the cross pipe entrance, Lin Xiang stopped.

When he entered the pipeline, he drew a plan in his mind that only existed in his memory. He did not move according to the route marked on the map, but instead made up for the missing parts of the entire plan one by one according to every intersection he passed, and finally improved it to extremely detailed and clear.

Captain Sok once said that the total length of the entire route is only five kilometers.

He did not lie. The directions and routes marked on the map are also in line with reality.

This is a path to death.

The road for more than ten hours has not been in vain. With his strong hearing, Lin Xiang has heard the unique movements of insects from behind the wall or from a distant corner more than once. Their main locations are surprisingly consistent with the routes drawn on the map, just like the most loyal sentry, patrolling back and forth along a fixed line forever. Once he encounters any future person, he will immediately destroy it and kill it.

Lin Xiang did not fight against the aliens, so he chose another remote route, carefully approaching the closest fork from the exit of point b from a relatively safe environment.

This is also a dark and dark cross-shaped pipe wall intersection. Four huge circular cement pipes connect the tight walls together, and a slightly sunken ground in the middle is filled with viscous silt that cannot be distinguished in color.

The long silence made the three mercenaries very uncomfortable. They gathered together and whispered for a moment. Finally, the sturdy Marcas walked forward with a tough bullet and asked hesitantly: "Hi... are we... lost?"

Lin Xiang did not look back. He looked at the pipe in front of him, which was like the mouth of a giant beast, and said lightly: "If I am not wrong, follow this road to the end, it is the exit."

"exit?"

Surprises of varying degrees were quickly revealed from each other's faces. They did not cheer and cheer, but were just whispering to exchange opinions from each other.

"It will be difficult to walk this section of the road." Lin Xiang carefully checked the weapons in his hand and whispered without raising his head: "There may be a very dense swarm in front of him."

After saying that, he picked up his gun and walked straight towards the depths of the passage.

Seeing this, the three mercenaries were stunned and then accelerated their pace to follow closely.

"Wait! Wait a minute-"

Lin Xiang ignored the rapid call from behind, and a feminine sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. His beautiful eyes flashed with sharp and cruel cold light from time to time.

In the endless darkness ahead, there is a danger that can kill people.

He did not lie, it was indeed the last road to point b.

It is impossible to pass by just your own strength.

The success rate will be much higher if you gather the power of three mercenaries.

This is not for everyone, but only for himself.

If there hadn't been a little unpleasant friction before, he would have brought these three people with him.

But now...hum!

The prey on the weak is the law of survival in this world.

Lin Xiang never thought of fighting against the whole world alone. He just wanted to use his personal behavior to influence more people. Or it should be said that as many as possible, let more new generations of human beings feel the civilization and human nature of the old era from himself.

However, this does not mean that you can be slaughtered.

In the dark, there were dense sounds of objects colliding with the ground. In order to chase Lin Xiang, the three mercenaries with panic expressions also accelerated their speed, and their heavy footsteps became louder and louder, and they spread far away in the deep wall of the pipe.

The ugly aphrodisiacs revealed tall shadows, their eyes emitted a terrible cold light in the darkness, and the palate pieces with their beaks closed back and forth, like sharp knife and fork, ready to cut delicious meat at any time.

Behind him, the mercenaries' footsteps were close at hand.

In front of him, the cruel aliens blocked the entire pipeline so much that they were not open.

Calculating the time when the two were approaching, Lin Xiang flattened the shotgun, aimed at the aphrodisiac who was rushing in front, and pulled the trigger hard.

"boom--"

Bright lights shot straight from the roof and sprinkled on the white wall surface, creating a soft halo with a slightly warm feeling.

The "rustling" sound of water came from my ears, and the fine water flow full of power fell from the top of the bathtub, covering Lin Xiang's entire body.
To be continued...
