Steel Chambers of War

Chapter 3: No gain

   Of course, we must continue to move forward!

  The elephant must find a source of food, which is now the number one thing.

   picked up the gun, he carefully passed through the broken metal door, and then looked at the situation inside... It seems that considering the'dining environment' issue, when the cafeteria was originally built, it was built outside the base. That is, through the strengthened glass windows of the cafeteria, you can see the vastness of the outer space.

   And at this time, the distant neutron star radiating gamma rays just exudes a light blue halo, rendering an icy color in this messy canteen. Bloodstains and traces of battle can be seen everywhere. Rong Xiang also judged how terrifying the lethality of that alienated beast through a blood-soaked claw mark on the wall... This kind of creature is not terrible in front of human weapons. But what's terrible is its natural hunter-like nature.

   Rong Elephant only judged from the blood stains on the ground and various traces of destruction, that many people were probably attacked unsuspectingly. So the direction of the sneak attack?

   Rong Elephant looked down at the direction where the blood spattered under his feet, and then suddenly looked up...but saw a black hole blowing wind on top of his head...

   Almost immediately, he staggered two steps and left directly under the vent. Then I made a judgment in my heart: "It turns out that the attack was launched from the air duct, so it's troublesome... and there is only blood here but no corpses. Obviously these corpses have become food for alienated beasts."

   Rong elephant can only be more vigilant, but still has not changed his plan of action. He continued to explore the depths of the canteen... After passing through the messy restaurant, he soon came to the back kitchen part. On the contrary, there are not many traces of warfare here, because the back kitchen in the interstellar base actually has nothing but rows of transmission pipes for conveying food materials.

   This canteen is only an employee canteen for ordinary lower-level workers. Of course, it does not use fresh ingredients to cook dishes like the canteen used by the management, but a nutritious meal of various flavors mixed with various nutrient solutions. Although the taste and visual effects will be taken care of, after all, artificially synthesized things and dishes made with natural ingredients cannot be compared.

   It’s just that the Rong Xiang who is facing a food shortage crisis has no choice. His goal is to find these stock nutrient solutions in the food warehouse deeper in the back kitchen.

   But something that disappointed him happened. When he found the food library along these nutrient solution transmission pipelines, he found that the door of the food library had been opened!

   "I got on the ground first!" Rong Xiang made a judgment in his heart, but after a short pause, he immediately turned around and no longer had the slightest nostalgia for the food library.

   He walked so swiftly that he knew that even if there were residual ingredients in it, he would never eat it under gamma radiation. And the only reason that supported him to take a huge risk to come here is that there may be found ingredients for his stomach. Now that it is certain that there will be no discoveries inside, then he should not stay here to take risks.

   Therefore, he quickly returned to the original path. In this base already occupied by alienated beasts, only the safe house where his predecessor had lived for half a year can be said to be absolutely safe.

   But when he stepped into the restaurant again, he was stiff and his blood became cold...because he saw a cloud of dark objects hanging from a vent on the top of the restaurant!

   It was an alienated beast with a slender body, covered in black and dense armor, as if it were a snake on earth. But it still has very long and powerful claws... Judging from the claw marks on the wall observed by the Rong elephant, I am afraid it has an attack coefficient of 2.0 or more!

   Although the defensive coefficient of the Black Rock 3 combat uniform is higher, reaching 3.7, it will soon be unstoppable if it is continuously attacked by more than 2.0.

   The muscles of the Rong Elephant's whole body are tense. If it were still the old boy, then he would have turned around and ran away long ago. But he was observing calmly, and then found that the hanging alienated beast didn't seem to notice his existence, and the beast's eyes were half open and half closed, as if not awake.

   So he guessed, this should be caused by the slight movement when he came. But it was only slightly awakened from the deep sleep, and did not find or realize that someone invaded its ‘territory’. At this time, the irritability of the former mercenary king made him want to pick up the gun and hit a bullet... but he knew it couldn't, because he couldn't confirm whether there was only this alienated beast. If more alienated beasts are attracted by gunshots, then he might really be done.

   Rongxiang settled his mind, and then he took a firm and careful step forward...He did not choose to back down, but made a more aggressive and bold decision.

   He pressed his back against the dining room wall, avoided all the vent areas above his head, and walked quietly towards the restaurant exit step by step. At the same time, his eyes were always staring at the alienated beast, not letting go of all its movements.

   The alienated beast that hasn't awakened still looks half-dream and half-awake, but the body has been hung upside down from the vent, and it looks more than three meters long. Although it squinted its eyes, it also stretched its body subconsciously, as if it was stretching its waist just after waking up.

   Rong elephant has quietly moved to the entrance of the restaurant during this process, and it seems that two steps will be taken to get out of this terrible canteen... But accidents often happen at this time. Rong Xiang's tactical movements were not in the slightest error, but it was precisely because of his vigilant direct gaze that made this equally sensitive alienated beast notice the abnormality.

   The beast's eyes that had been half-squinted suddenly widened, and the viper-like pupils turned sharply and aimed at the elephant...or in response to his gaze!

   The moment he looked straight at the cruel beast pupil, Rong Xiang’s heart suddenly stopped, and his scalp became numb and adrenaline secreted rapidly. And his rich experience has allowed him to make the most correct physical response in the current situation...He did not have any stagnation, immediately bent forward and came to the destroyed door of the cafeteria at the fastest speed.

   When he stood up again, he was already half-kneeling and firmly erected the GR-100 with both hands, completing the most standard tactical action of aiming and shooting.

At the same time, the alienated beast that discovered his existence has also fallen from the vent. When lying on the ground, it looked like a giant lizard, and immediately raised its head and its hind limbs rushed towards the elephant...Its The action is so swift, if Rong Xiang hadn't reacted correctly in the first time, I'm afraid there would really be no time to lift the gun.

   But the Rong Elephant has already set up a gun, so now the alienated beast, no matter how fast it is, is still a shot slower, and all he needs to do is pull the trigger...
