Chapter 182: The Special Operations Department of the National Security Bureau is destroyed!
Chongqing Coal Group has a history of more than one hundred years.

As early as the last era, it was an important energy supply base for the Xia Kingdom.

The coal here is of excellent quality and has huge reserves, and it is known as the "No. 1 Coal Sea on Canglan Star".

In order to ensure national safety construction, the mining level of Chongqing Coal Group is very high. The underground roads are interconnected and the deepest can reach one thousand meters. Moreover, due to the later desolation and lack of long-term maintenance, many passages have experienced large-scale collapse, which has brought great difficulties to the rescue work.

"high!"

"263 meters!"

"coordinate!"

"The twelfth mine entrance in area B of the No. 6 mine!"

"Report the intelligence of the mechanical dog reconnaissance!"

"..."

He Jing'an stood on a platform with soft soil, listening to the team members' reports on the situation while looking around vigilantly.

There was a thick layer of dust floating in the air, which seriously obstructed the vision, but fortunately, the fluorescent powder splashed down brought a ray of light to the dark underground world.

"We are only on the first platform now. The deepest seventh platform is about 1500 meters underground, and the miners are currently trapped between the fourth and fifth platforms. We need to descend to a depth of about 1000 meters!"

He Jingan analyzed calmly.

He casually stepped out and crushed to death several black mice as big as house cats that ran towards him.

There are so many rats on the first platform alone, so what's going on deeper down... Even with his concentration, he couldn't imagine it.

"Has the first-level distress signal been sent out?"

"Captain, the message has been sent out. The Provincial State Security Department said that they will send a team here immediately. There are also college students from the four top martial arts universities who are on missions nearby. They are ready to join us to deal with this emergency together!"

"The army is also on the way. They are carrying weapons of mass destruction and will cooperate with us to eradicate the rat infestation!"

Hearing this, He Jingan's worries were relieved a lot.

With Xia's current national strength, as long as it can attract enough attention and power, there will be no irreversible situation.

"Our top priority now is to rescue the miners. As for the subsequent eradication of the rat infestation, we will wait until all the forces in the rear gather and then move forward together!"

"According to the images sent back by the mechanical dog, there is basically no danger on the first three floors!"

"We have to continue diving from Area C..."

He Jing'an spoke very quickly and arranged various tasks.

The expressions on the faces of many team members were also changing.

Originally, they were all carrying out this special warfare mission with the thought that they would die, but if they only went to the fifth platform to rescue people without a head-on conflict with the large-scale rat tide, then the danger would be much smaller.

Three minutes later.

The special operations team continued to advance along the established route.

Thanks to the information images continuously transmitted back by the mechanical dogs and unmanned flying saucers ahead, they were able to successfully avoid many crises and troubles. The largest swarm of rats they encountered was only about 500.

Soon, the team dived to a depth of 600 meters underground.

But at this moment, the middle-aged man in charge of intelligence monitoring in the team changed his expression slightly and said, "Captain, the mechanical dog and the flying saucer lost contact on the fourth floor. It seems that they were destroyed by the rat swarm!"

The man played the last frame of the image transmitted back.

The number of rats in the fourth-level mine has obviously increased sharply, and it is roughly estimated that there are at least tens of thousands of them. The rat that attacked the flying saucer was particularly strong, almost like an adult dog.

There was a flash of human coldness in his emerald green pupils, and his mouth was full of teeth as sharp as daggers, which could easily tear off the flying saucer reinforced with special alloy materials.

He Jing'an closed his eyes and roughly planned the subsequent route and estimated the degree of danger in his mind.

Then he suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Keep going!"

Although they knew that without the intelligence brought by the mechanical dog and the flying saucer, the team would be in a very unfavorable situation, at this moment, no one questioned it and no one wanted to back down.

Everyone continued to maintain their advancing formation and groped their way towards the fourth-floor platform.

Dark depths.

The sharp squeaking sound of the mouse became clearer and clearer, as if someone was scratching the glass with long nails.

Ahead is a half-collapsed passage.

He Jingan took a deep breath and slowly pulled out the sword at his waist. He had already smelled the breath of danger: "Everyone, prepare for battle!"

boom--

With a violent kick, the huge rock blocking the passage was shattered.

The dazzling bright lights shone towards the end of the passage, revealing a hellish scene before everyone's eyes.

There were countless black mice, dragging their long tails, huddled together like meatballs. They were startled and looked over with dense green eyes.

If I had to describe it in one word, it would be a raging black "wave" rushing towards them, trying to drown all other lives that appeared here.

The knife light was like a silk thread, cutting through the darkness.

Several rats that pounced first were cut in half at the waist, and a large amount of internal organs fell out.

"Clear the rats as quickly as possible. Do not use high-powered explosive bombs. Be careful of the passage collapse!"

He Jingan's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

One man with a knife in hand rushed directly into the tide of rats. Dazzling internal energy lit up from beneath his skin, as mighty as a huge river, tapping into all the potential of his body.

A martial artist who reaches the “one-day realm”!
Under the terrifying power of his sword, no mouse could get within three meters alive.

The other team members also showed their talents.

The weakest among them has the strength of a tenth-level martial artist. Coupled with long-term training, they have good coordination and are extremely skilled in killing. These rats, which are like demons to ordinary people, are not that difficult to deal with in front of them.

Rats died in droves.

But these rats seemed to have no idea what fear was. They continued to rush forward one after another. Some even devoured the corpses of their companions, making their bodies look even bigger.

The two sides fought fiercely for more than ten minutes.

This massive rat swarm numbering over 100,000 was completely wiped out, not even a single one escaped.

Two members of the special operations team were slightly injured.

Their protective clothing was torn by the rats' sharp teeth, and their flesh was gnawed off directly. The wounds turned blue and swollen, and were obviously highly toxic.

Seeing this, the two team members immediately took out the emergency virus blocker and injected it into the wound.

"Xiao Liu, how do you two feel? If it doesn't work, why don't you withdraw first?" He Jing'an said with some concern.

It was also the first time he knew that these rats were carrying a deadly virus, but he didn't know how high the level of the virus was. If it was too strong, it would not be suppressed by drugs alone.

"It's okay, Captain. It's just some mild virus. It won't affect the operation!"

Liu Guang simply moved his elbow and found that the bitten and bleeding area had already shown signs of scabbing.

Another team member was also unwilling to abandon his teammates and evacuate.

"Okay, keep going!"

He Jing'an hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Everyone, quickly clean up the rats in the mine on the fourth floor, and then we will follow Route C to enter the fifth floor!"

"There is a lifting device for the cage on the fifth floor. The circuit there must have been damaged by rats. As long as it is repaired, the miners trapped below can be saved!"

Under the command of He Jing'an, a team member took out a high-strength corrosive acid to clear the way, and a large number of rats were killed in the strong acid solvent, which greatly accelerated the advancement speed. In fact, they were also equipped with flame guns, stun bombs and other large-scale lethal weapons, but these things had many limitations in underground mines, which could easily cause gas explosions, tunnel collapses and other dangers, and could only be used as a last resort.

Soon, the Special Operations Team advanced along the road to Exit C leading to the fifth platform.

This passage is very steep and originally required the use of tools such as "monkey carts", but now a large amount of industrial equipment has been damaged by rats.

He Jingan threw a flashlight down the entrance of the passage, and after roughly estimating the depth, he was the first to slide down the slope towards the fifth-floor platform.

The team members moved in an orderly manner and all followed behind him.

As I continued to dive, the sharp "rat chirping" lingering in my ears became clearer and clearer, as if a violent storm was stirring up in my mind, far more terrifying than the fourth platform.

thump—

He Jingan was the first to fall and stepped on a solid alloy steel plate.

This is a small enclosed space with a few benches and some simple food and medicine. It was previously a place for workers on the fifth platform to rest and take shelter.

"Captain, how do we go now?" Liu Guang asked in a low voice, with a strange blood-red color in his eyes.

He only felt as if he had fallen into an endless "ocean" of rats. The conversations between them were a little unclear, and there was only the sharp "rat sounds" that kept seeping into his mind. His soul felt as if it was being torn apart, and his muscles showed signs of slight spasm.

Others were no better.

These veteran NSA soldiers who have experienced many battles are so frightened that their bodies tremble in fear in this dark underground world full of unknown dangers.

"Channel C is not far from the control room, only about 100 meters away. Charge through!"

He Jingan took a deep breath, and his muscles gradually tensed up. The light and shadow of his internal energy under his skin lit up ahead of time. Then he placed his hand on the door handle and slowly turned it inwards.

As soon as a gap appeared, groups of fat, black-skinned rats squeezed in.

"kill!"

He Jingan roared and opened the iron gate completely.

It was like a mudslide was coming down in front of them, and countless creepy black rats instantly drowned everyone present.

A phantom of a "giant bear" that seemed to be real appeared behind He Jing'an.

He swung his punch with a force of over 100,000 pounds, and thousands of rats were blown into a "blood rain". However, compared with the exaggerated number of rats, this loss was like a drop in the bucket, and instead caused the rats to fall into a state of crazy bloodshed.

He Jing'an threw punch after punch, venting all his physical strength in an attempt to carve a bloody path out of this "rat mountain".

He was still able to hold on, but the other team members were already in danger.

The first stun bomb was thrown, instantly emptying the blood tanks of tens of thousands of rats and giving everyone a chance to catch their breath.

But soon the "rat tide" came again.

"Use stun bombs and flamethrowers and kill them directly!" He Jing'an roared, and a rat slipped into his mouth, and he bit its head off and spat it out.

With the director's order, others had nothing to worry about.

Stun bombs, laser bombs, flame bombs and other large-scale lethal weapons were thrown out for free.

In an instant, flames burst out in the underground tunnel, igniting the gas in the air. The series of violent explosions created a raging fire dragon in the dark passage, devouring hundreds of thousands of black-skinned rats.

"Get out! Don't fall behind!"

He Jing'an held a flamethrower in his hand and walked at the front of the team to lead the way.

After the big explosion just now, most of the rats on the fifth-floor platform were cleared out, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the aftermath of the explosion caused dense cracks to appear in the mine tunnels, and a large amount of soil began to fall off, and it seemed that it might collapse at any time.

Liu Guang wiped the dirt off his face. The horrific high temperature in the mine made his expression slightly distorted. "Director, how far is it?"

"20 meters!"

He Jingan's voice was like a reassurance to the team.

But at this moment, a huge black figure broke through the fire barrier like lightning, and before He Jing'an could react, it knocked a teammate behind him to the ground, and screams followed.

"Zhao Hu!"

He Jing'an turned around suddenly, and the scene happening in the scene made him furious.

It was a giant rat nearly one meter in size, with its black fur burnt to a slightly scorched yellow. It used a pair of sturdy forelimbs to pin Zhao Hu to the ground, and its sharp teeth were gnawing at his neck frantically.

boom--

He Jing'an rushed over quickly and threw a powerful side kick.

The giant rat crashed into the mud, raising a cloud of dust, but Zhao Hu's neck had already been bitten off and he had lost his life.

There was no time to be sad, the giant rat jumped out from the dust again and aimed at another weaker team member. It was incredibly fast and dodged the flames and knocked the team member down in the rat tide.

In just a moment, his body was covered with rats.

"This beast!"

He Jing'an drew out his sword and slashed at the giant rat's head.

The giant rat let out a sharp hiss, dropped the corpse and ran away frantically. He Jing'an moved very quickly, pressing forward, and his sword hit the target several times but all failed.

The strength of this giant rat has exceeded the threshold of a martial artist!
At this moment, Liu Guangqiang suppressed the dizziness and nausea in his brain and fired a net gun to block the giant rat's retreat.

He Jing'an seized the opportunity, and his knife flashed as fast as a thread, rolling up a raging flame, and chopped off the giant rat's head.

“Hoo, ho, ho—”

He breathed heavily, shock surging in his heart.

Who could have expected that such a "monster" would emerge from the rat tide? If it weren't for him today, this special operations team would have been killed here.

Before he could relax a bit, a team member's trembling voice rang out.

"Director, look... over there!"

At the turning point at the end of the mine tunnel, three larger "giant rats" emerged. There was a human-like viciousness in their green eyes, and they pounced on them in front of everyone's horrified gaze.

"Everyone in the team, retreat the same way you came!"

He Jingan roared.

In this dark underground environment, one "giant rat" would be enough for them to deal with, let alone three of them suddenly appearing.

"what……"

A tragic scream suddenly came from behind.

Liu Guang's face was distorted and hideous, with veins bulging on his forehead until it burst, and a large amount of black and green blood spurted out.

He could no longer suppress the murderous intent in his mind. His eyes turned blood red and he opened his mouth to bite the teammate beside him.

Not only him, but several other team members who were bitten by rats also fell into a state of madness, with large amounts of mucus flowing out of their mouths, and they kept knocking their teammates to the ground.

this moment.

He Jing'an just felt like he fell into an ice cave, his hands and feet were cold.

A terrible thought came to my mind.

"Rat poison, infection!"
