Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 119 The "Embers" remnants in the sewers
Just when Li You and Bracken separated into two groups, they were at the other end of the old city.

Although the old city is also built along the bay, there is a river surrounding the city and connecting the Emerald Lake to the sea.

At this moment, by a river.

Several soldiers from the Rice Gang were blocking the entrance to a sewer, sitting and chatting, looking somewhat bored.

The sewer mouth is blocked by the remaining members of the old city survivor organization "Embers".

Ember was once the largest survivor organization in the old city. Under the leadership of Troy, they used the Twin Towers as their base to maintain the basic order of the old city.

Originally, although the infected people in the old city were stronger, there were more special infected people, and there were evolved versions of Night Stalkers running around at night, the lives of the survivors were actually better than in the slums.

Until a few weeks ago, Rice returned to the old city and brought the power of the Rice Gang here.

There is no need to say more about the next thing.

A few days ago, Rice suddenly went crazy, causing the Rice gang that had been slowly advancing to launch a large-scale attack.

A large number of safe zones were breached by the villains of the Rice Gang. Some of the survivors were captured, some were killed, and more were driven to the streets, waiting to die slowly.

The Embers tried their best to save these people, but the Rice Gang didn't even intend to let them go.

Although everyone in Ember and the survivors who rescued resisted with all their strength, in the face of the general attack of the Rice Gang, the twin towers, whose terrain was not dangerous enough, only lasted for half a day before being breached.

The members and survivors of Ember were scattered in the final offensive. Troy took a few people to escape to the ghetto, while Savvy followed another group of people and escaped into the sewers.

The Les Gang pursued them fiercely until they reached the entrance of the sewer, before being forced back by the survivors relying on the advantage of the location.

In Rice's eyes, this group of survivors who had been defeated and fled obviously did not pose much of a threat, so he didn't take it too seriously. After arranging two teams of soldiers to take charge, he stopped asking any more questions.

And since Rice himself doesn't care anymore, it's hard to tell how motivated these soldiers are to work.

They only need to guard the exit, kick in the door and harass them every day when they are happy, and use it to brag and spank at other times, so their life is not easy.

Don't be surprised if Les helps with daily operations.

But today, this group of Rice Gang soldiers received some uninvited guests.

On a roof a little further away from the river bank, Crane squatted behind the wooden railing, covering his figure with the curtain hanging from the ceiling.

He observed the Rice Gang soldiers chatting not far away for a while, then placed a strange round-headed arrow on the ranger's revolver bow and slowly pulled it open.

"Whoosh-!"

The round-headed arrow flew out, and because the arrow was slightly heavier, its flight path moved downwards.However, Crane had already made a prediction, and the arrow still accurately landed on one of the Rice Gang soldiers.

The moment the round-headed arrow came into contact with the soldier, it began to heat up, expand, and suddenly exploded!

"Bang-bang-bang-!!"

There were three explosions in succession, and the soldier was thrown away screaming, while several other people were also affected, each suffering injuries of varying severity.

If that were the case, except for the chosen one who was directly hit, everyone else would only be injured but not dead.

But don’t forget, this is Harlan!Even if the Rice Gang cleans up most of the infected, when someone makes a sound, there will always be one or two plague monsters popping up in the corner.

At the moment of the explosion, the roar of the plague demons sounded, and immediately three plague demons roared and rushed towards us!And further away, there are more plague demons looking for the source of the sound.

Many of the Rice Gang soldiers who were affected and knocked over by the explosion were pushed to the ground by the plague demons who came over and tore them apart before they could get up.

Screams suddenly echoed in the air.

On the roof of the building here, Crane put away his ranger bow, and together with Deke and another companion behind him, he covered himself more tightly.

After entering the old city, Crane took Deke and a parkour from the Ember organization, separated from the large group, and rushed to the sewer entrance that Savi told them in the communication.

This is a task specially assigned to them by Li You.

In fact, Li You initially thought of leaving it to Kelan alone, but after thinking about it, he realized that although Kelan was the protagonist, he was not yet at full level, so he sent two more people just in case.

It just so happened that Deckard was familiar with the Rice gang, and the parkourer from Ember knew the various routes in the old city.

So they tried their best to hide their traces along the way, avoiding the outposts of the Rice gang, and arrived at Savi's hiding place.

The Rice gang set up a large military tent here and took turns guarding it.In order to avoid being besieged, Crane took out his new explosive arrow and decided to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

Although, if Li You were here, he would prefer to call this tactic the art of electronic cricket fighting.

The characteristic of explosive arrows is that they explode after being shot and impacting, and they detonate three times in a row.

Although the power of the explosion is not like in the game, which can blow people up several meters into the air, there is still no problem in blowing away the lucky ones who are directly hit.

And the most important thing is that the explosion sound of this kind of arrow is very loud, which is an excellent choice to suppress human enemies and attract infected people to attack them.

Although the original survivor organizations in the slums, such as Towers, had the ability to create explosive arrows, they were rarely used due to the negative effects of the noise they produced.

It was Li You who suggested that since the Rice Gang was to be dealt with, this kind of arrows could be produced and used in large quantities, so the tower began to produce explosive arrows on a large scale.

The first person to understand Li You's intentions and the correct use of explosive arrows was Kelan.

I tried it now and it worked really well.

More and more plague demons arrived, and the injured Les Gang soldiers were unable to resist and were gradually overwhelmed by the plague demons.

But the Rice Gang soldiers in the tent not far away also realized that something was wrong, and finally came out at this time, holding their guns one by one, aiming at the plague demon group and continuously firing.

A total of seven guns fired at a small group of plague demons at close range. No matter how fast the plague demons moved, there was nothing they could do, and they were all wiped out quickly.

The sound of gunfire naturally attracted more demons, but they came from different directions. In front of the well-equipped team of shooters, they were just delivering food like a gourd boy saving his grandfather.

Rice's soldiers formed a circle around the outside and relied on firepower to beat all the plague demons that rushed towards them into rag bags.

Clanton, who was watching from the sidelines, felt that he should not just watch, but also participate.So he took out an explosive arrow again and opened the ranger bow.

"Whoosh-"

The explosive arrow flew out again, this time the impact point was in the center of the circle formed by the Rice Gang soldiers!
"boom--!"

There were three more explosions, and the Rice Gang soldiers were blown apart. They fell to the ground one by one and howled like ghosts.

And more plague demons have arrived, shouting and starting to enjoy the buffet feast all over the floor.

The three of them waited quietly for almost half an hour before the plague demons ended their dinner in the cafeteria and wandered away.

After confirming that all the plague demons had dispersed, Crane fired his bow again, this time using ordinary arrows, and killed the biters that lingered at the entrance to the sewer one by one.

Then, the three of them went down to the ground and came to the sewer entrance.

Crane nodded to the parkourer who was from the Ember Organization, so the man stepped forward and knocked on the iron door of the sewer.

"Savi? Are you in there?"

……

In the sewer.The survivors hiding here were originally enveloped in despair.

They haven't been to the ground for several days. They are trapped in the sewers without seeing the light all day long. They don't have enough to eat. They also have to worry about the Rice Gang soldiers who come to harass them from time to time. No matter how strong they are, they can hardly hold on. .

Savi was encouraging others a few days ago, but today, even he was almost desperate.

His only hope is that Troy, the eldest sister he contacted yesterday, will not be stupid and run back to the old city to die.

And just when the emotional power of despair engulfed everyone, there was a knock on the door of the sewer entrance.

Everyone was frightened.

The Rice Gang is back! ?
The survivors at the door grabbed weapons one after another and hid in various fire points. Once the Rice gang came in, they would be attacked by them.

During this period, this was how they repelled the attacks of the Rice Gang.

However, Savi immediately realized something was wrong. If the Rice Gang tried to attack, their hands and feet would not be so gentle.

Then, he heard a somewhat familiar voice.

"Savi? Are you in there?"

Savvy was startled for a moment, then suddenly jumped up from the ground!He rushed to the door and shouted:

"Tucker, is that you!?"

The person outside the door replied: "It's me, Savi! We escaped to the ghetto with my eldest sister, where we got help from other survivor organizations! Now they are bringing us back to take back the old city!"

Savvy was originally very happy. After all, Tucker was here, so Troy, the eldest sister, would probably be fine.

But what Tucker said next suddenly extinguished his excitement.

"Tucker," Savi couldn't accept it, "How could you do such a thing? No matter what, you can't join the Rice Gang!"

The three people in Kelan outside were startled for a moment, and then they realized what Savvy meant, and they immediately couldn't laugh or cry.

As a result, Savi felt that what Tucker said later was too magical and unbelievable, so he thought that Tucker had joined the Rice gang and was ordered by Rice to trick him into opening the door.

Tucker was also angry and funny, but he didn't know how to explain to Savi at the moment.No matter what he said, Savvy didn't believe it, and Tucker was so anxious that he stamped his feet.

But at this time, Kelan pulled Tucker's hand and pointed to the sky.

Tucker looked up and saw that Li You's helicopter was flying overhead, and a large speaker was playing Rice's dark history on a loop.

He reacted immediately and said to Savi inside the door: "If you don't believe I can do it, then listen carefully! The helicopter in the sky is broadcasting a radio, listen to what it says!"

Savvy was a little suspicious, but still leaned against the door and listened carefully for a moment.

After only listening for a moment, an incredible look appeared on his face: "How is this possible!?"

Other survivors quickly asked: "What's going on?"

Savi had a strange look on his face: "There was the sound of a helicopter outside, and a radio kept saying that Les was driven away from the slums and came to Area Zero."

"How is this possible!?" The others almost said in unison, all transforming into repeaters.

"This must be a conspiracy!" said one survivor.

Another person expressed support: "Where is the helicopter that can fly in Harlan? This is a well-planned trick by the Rice gang. We must not open the door."

Others mostly agreed.

If Li You were here, he would complain about them and take himself too seriously. In fact, Renlai didn't care about them for a long time, so he allowed them to live until now.

Fortunately, Savvy was relatively sober. He said, "I don't think it's right. If Tucker betrayed us and joined the Rice gang, then Rice wouldn't be able to deceive us by stigmatizing himself in this way." Get out, how can we deserve this treatment?"

The others looked at each other instantly.

It took a long time before everyone came to the conclusion: "Then let's open the door and take a look."

……

The three Crans outside the door waited for a while, during which time two more biters wandered over, and were dealt with by Crane and Deck.

Before the three of them completely lost their patience, Savi in ​​the sewer finally opened the door.

Savvy was cautious when he opened the door. He felt relieved when he saw only Tucker with an angry face outside and two other men who didn't belong to the Rice Gang at first glance:

"Tuck—!"

Tucker slapped him in the face and shouted: "You're a bastard. You won't open the door. Do you know how dangerous it is outside!?"

Savi apologized repeatedly: "There is no way, I must represent our Ember Organization and be responsible for these survivors. Compared to this, what you just said is true?"

Although he knew that Savvy was changing the subject, Tucker still snorted and chose to answer the question: "That's right!"

Then, Tucker introduced Crane and Deke to Savi and others by the way, and everyone greeted them one after another, making the two of them feel embarrassed.

And Tucker said to Savi: "The Light Guard took us in and took us to counterattack the Zero Area. The helicopter over there is the car of the leader of the Light Guard, Mr. Li You."

"Mr. Li You and Sister Troy have already announced their names and want to take you back first, so you have to come with us now. Let's go to the radio station."

Savvy was shocked and waved his hands repeatedly: "You're crazy! The radio station is one of the largest strongholds of the Rice Gang. Going there is equivalent to committing suicide! And what should we do if there are so many survivors here?"

Crane came up at this time and answered Savvy's question for Tucker:

"Don't worry, the radio station was taken down by our companions just a few minutes ago. I just confirmed it with the radio."

"As for the survivors here, I have to apologize and wait here for the time being. We don't have enough manpower to escort everyone to the radio station."

In order not to be discovered by the sentries of the Rice Gang along the way, Crane's actions had to be carried out lightly, with only the three of them being good men.

Before the survivors began to commotion, Crane added:

"But don't worry! We have put an end to the defensive battle that the Rice Gang was guarding outside. You can go to their tents to get weapons, equipment, and daily necessities."

"We, the light guards, will never give up on the innocent survivors, and we will fight with the Rice Gang to the end! So please, please be more patient and wait here for a while."

"When we completely defeat the Rice Gang, everyone can return to the ground again!"

Perhaps it was because Crane was naturally kind, or perhaps his promise to freely take supplies from the Rice Gang's defense site was tempting enough. In short, the survivors finally agreed to hide in the sewers for a while longer.

Watching the survivors return to the sewers, Savi wiped his sweat and asked Crane: "Then, shall we go to the radio station now?"

Just as Crane was about to answer, he saw a striking firelight rushing into the sky in the direction of the Twin Towers, exploding into a brilliant ball of fireworks in the air!

Crane's face changed slightly: "That's...Li You's signal bomb!"

So he grabbed Savi and said, "Let's go, we'll leave immediately. We need you at the radio station!"
