Chapter 7 Trap
Half an hour later, the team of four and the five refugees had completed their preparations.

Chen Jian noticed that the refugees did a very good job of anti-infrared camouflage.

Not only do they completely wrap themselves in tinfoil, they also wear waterproof cloaks over the tinfoil, and then put an extra layer of wet cloth over the cloak.

In this early winter when the temperature has dropped below 10 degrees, even if the sensitivity of the thermal fusion night vision goggles is adjusted to the highest, it is almost impossible to detect obvious infrared signals.

This level is comparable to that of the four-member team wearing a full set of anti-infrared combat uniforms.

These people have a lot of survival experience.

So in a world like this, they survive by relying on these experiences?
Maybe there's more to it than that.

Chen Jian put on the tactical goggles again, calibrated the sensitivity of the anti-sniper radar, then followed Du Hu and led the team down the stairs and out of the building.

It was not until this time that he could truly see the true appearance of this dead city.

Most of the high-rise buildings have tilted and collapsed, and the cars parked on the street are buried in dust, revealing their rusty skeletons.

Judging from the traces of metal rust, those cars have been parked here for at least decades or even hundreds of years without moving.

But what is strange is that there are no green plants in the entire city. Only in the cracks in the ground can one occasionally find mosses growing with difficulty.

This is very unreasonable.

You know, there are countless giant trees growing in the suburban area less than one kilometer away.

The four members of his team went through a difficult journey before they finally got out of the jungle and arrived here.

The two areas are like two worlds.

what is this?
Could it be that such differences are caused by the so-called "maternal body"?

Chen Jian wanted to ask, but it was obviously not a good time.

Therefore, he had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his mind and planned to find a way to find out the truth after returning to the shelter.

At the same time, Du Hu had led the entire team on foot through two alleys and into another wider street.

Immediately afterwards, Du Hu walked towards a collapsed hole on the ground.

Chen Jian's eyes moved, and he asked:
"Does it look familiar?"

"It couldn't be more familiar. The subway station."

Shen Yue nodded slightly, then approached Chen Jian and asked:

"Collecting food and going to the subway station? Are you going to catch rats?"

"I do not know."

Chen Jian opened the safety of 191, then switched directly to English and spoke in a low voice:
“But something doesn’t feel right to me.”

"The streets were so quiet and they moved so quickly, it was like they were totally off guard."

"Combined with the physiological characteristics of those monsters - infrared vision and the like, it is obvious that these monsters are likely to only move around at night or in the dark."

"In that case, why risk going underground?"

"Is it true that there is no food at all on the surface?"

"No matter what, be prepared for battle. Once you enter the underground, immediately start to create a retreat route map and update it on the PDA in real time."

"I didn't say they were trying to trick us, but the probability of an accident happening is very high."

"clear."

"receive."

The other team members answered one by one, the eyepieces and PDAs were all turned on, and the entire team entered combat readiness again.

Walking down from the subway station entrance, the air in the tunnel gradually became humid and the light became dimmer.

Du Hu, who was walking in front, lit a tiny torch for illumination and used gestures from time to time to indicate the direction to go.

As the exploration deepened, the terrain became more complex.

The subway station ravaged by time is completely different from the modern subway station that Chen Jian has in mind. Without any signposts, no matter how well-trained you are, you will get completely lost in the chaotic tunnel.

After walking for half an hour, Du Hu still didn't stop.

Chen Jian's feeling of uneasiness grew stronger, and he became more and more aware that this operation was not that simple.

This instinct for danger is the result of long-term training and several actual combat experiences, and it has never gone wrong.

So he made a decisive gesture, and the position of the entire team changed silently.

The double column of two people was transformed into a single column of four people. Chen Jian still followed behind Du Hu, while the others fell behind everyone else, completely cutting off the five-member group of refugees.

This was originally a normal change of formation to prepare for a rainy day. But after the positions of the four members of the team changed, Chen Jian clearly felt that the speed of the entire team slowed down.

His vigilance reached its peak at this moment, and he subconsciously wanted to stop moving forward and observe and wait.

But at this moment, Du Hu in front of him suddenly stopped.

Then he turned around and took something out of his arms.

next second.

"boom!"

A huge noise erupted in the cave, followed by his hoarse shouting.

"Run!"

Chen Jian felt as if he had been hit by a stun grenade. A strong feeling of dizziness instantly came over him, and then the view in the night vision goggles turned pale.

He immediately understood that Du Hu's shout of "Run" was definitely not meant for these four strangers!

They had already made plans to kill me here!

"Fire!"

Chen Jian gave the order without hesitation, and almost at the same time, the thermal fusion night vision goggles automatically switched from low-light mode to white-light fusion mode.

The vision in front of him became clear in an instant. Chen Jian saw Du Hu's figure flash by and immediately pulled the trigger of 191.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of gunfire echoed in the tunnel, and the three people behind him also opened fire at the same time.

In the flickering firelight, Du Hu fell headfirst to the ground, followed by the other four people who wanted to run to the hidden cave on the side, but were accurately killed by Lei Jie with the highly flexible QCQ171.

"Re-shoot! Cease fire!"

The battle started and ended in an instant.

"He Shuo, release the drones, create a map, and find a favorable battle position!"

"Lei Jie, place booby traps in front and behind to block the enemy's attack route."

"Shen Yue, set up your gun and prepare to meet the enemy!"

"understand!"

The three of them took action immediately, while Chen Jian, holding the 191 in his hand, stared at the tunnel ahead, and made a standard combat readiness posture.

He knew that the real threat to his team was definitely not these five refugees.

They went to great lengths to get themselves in, so they must have a back-up plan.

They were planning to escape when they detonated the "stun bomb".

So, what were they trying to escape from?
Chen Jian's heart was beating violently, but at this moment the cave was plunged into a suffocating silence.

Only the groans of Du Hu, who was not yet completely dead, echoed in the cave.

"You. Why can you see?"

"It's impossible, it's impossible."

"Tell me what's coming, and you can live!"

Chen Jian spoke calmly. Du Hu coughed twice and answered with difficulty:

"It's too late. It's too late."

"We. None of us can escape."

As soon as he finished speaking, the next second, a violent friction sound came from deep in the passage.

Chen Jian was not stupid enough to wait there, but immediately ordered a retreat in the opposite direction.

The four of them ran as fast as they could, relying on the map on the eyepiece for guidance, and their speed was astonishingly fast.

The friction sound became louder and louder, and Chen Jian heard Du Hu's scream behind him.

He looked back and an extremely horrifying scene appeared before his eyes.

The "mother" he saw yesterday was crowded in the subway tunnel in a strange posture.

Its entire body had been squeezed and deformed, as if it were an octopus that had been forced into a glass.

The octopus held in its mouth the remaining half of Du Hu's body.
