142, enter the third floor
Compared with the first floor, the number of insects on the second floor did not increase significantly, but each one was much larger. They encountered three or four giant cockroaches they encountered when they first got off the elevator. Fortunately, under the deterrence of the flames, these insects who were used to low temperature environments and were extremely weak tolerant to high temperatures, and then began to flee.
Dong Linhai threw away the empty fuel tank and replaced it with a new one. Add the one installed on the flamethrower, and they only had two bottles of fuel left.
Save some use, it should be enough.
After finding the location of the elevator through the way, Dong Zheng found that the entire elevator shaft was empty, with the door open, revealing the slowly rising and falling biological tissues in it - the swelling to the almost transparent abdomen, and countless crowded eggs could be vaguely seen.
A huge female insect like a katydite transformed the elevator shaft into a nest. The dark green sticky substance stood on the well wall, with countless hatching eggs attached to it. Some of them were broken, and white larvae emerged from it, covered with mucus.
Dong Zheng stopped ten meters away from the elevator shaft.
He made a retreat gesture, and the group slowly retreated step by step.
The bird began to retreat silently, and the mother worm's thinking accurately entered her mind. At this moment, she felt as if she had turned into that ugly worm, with kind and joyful love for the eggs and larvae.
She took a deep breath and tried not to care about those feelings, but this was not something she could control accurately. Finally, Wang Que couldn't help but vomit.
Dong Linhai raised his hand and patted her on the back. The few of them stepped back and left. Just as they were about to turn around, their huge bodies climbed down the elevator shaft with difficulty. On the huge head of the insect triangle, hundreds of eyes of all sizes stared at them.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Dong Zheng shouted: "Go!"
They ran away, and the female insects rubbed each other with sharp sounds. In an instant, countless black male insects flew out of the elevator shaft, like a black torrent, rushing towards everyone!
Dong Zheng and Cui Zuojing, who were originally leading the way in the front, suddenly became the last one. Dong Zheng ran and shot down the few who rushed in the front. There were too many insects, so he didn't have to aim at it, and he could hit the target with every shot.
Compared with traditional bullets, the radium gun can cause higher and larger damage to the insects. It shoots down the male insects, which are small compared to the female insects, layer by layer. The insects burned by lasers fell to the ground, and they are still struggling. Many of them take off again in a crooked manner and chase everyone.
"Where to go!" Lin Hangzhi became the one in the front, and everyone remembered the structure of the base, but obviously, without the accuracy of Wang Que and Dong Zheng, Lin Hangzhi was afraid that with his unlucky luck, he could bring everyone into the ditch.
"Turn right ahead!" The mantle who followed him confirmed the rough distribution of the Zergs in front, and pointed out the way for him.
Lin Hangzhi's figure in front disappeared at the corner on the right. The next second, the man screamed and quickly turned back: "There are insects over there!"
"There are more insects in other places!" Wang Que ran past him. Lin Hangzhi hurried back and rushed to the front. No matter how cowardly he was, he could not let Wang Que, a little girl, take the lead.
A centipede more than 20 meters long entrenched on the road ahead, feeling the vibration in the corridor, raising her upper body with a hundred feet, and whips at the top of her head twitched towards them. Lin Hangzhi gritted his teeth, picked up the laser gun and pointed it at the centipede's head, shouting "Die!", and pulling the trigger.
The laser hit the centipede's head, and the black juice spurted out, falling on the ground to dissolve the metal floor so that white smoke came out. Lin Hangzhi shot a few more shots while the iron was hot, shouting: "The centipede is poisonous! Be careful not to touch its juice!"
They quickly ran past the centipede. Cui Zuojing looked back and saw that the hole on the long worm's head was burned through by the laser and healed quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The angry centipede waved hundreds of feet. Just as he was about to chase after him, he was almost turned over by the male katyds who followed him.
Now its angry object quickly moved. The centipede opened its mouthpart like a guillotine, grabbed a sand stalk, and directly cut the big bug of the basketball into two pieces!
There was chaos behind him, and the original pursuit of the team turned into a battle between centipedes and katyds. No one cared about the outcome. Under the leadership of Wang Que, they selected the route with the least insects and arrived at the stairwell.
Something was blocked by the door of the stairwell. After the violent break, a large group of insects flew out, all of which were burned to carbon.
The dark purple fungi fill the stairwells, and insects live on them. The fungi produce heat without anaerobic respiration, creating some toxic gases, which also makes the temperature of the stairwell extremely warm, and is the most suitable hotbed for reproduction.
This reminded Dong Zheng of the secret hospital of Shizhi Maze. Those mutated plants also wanted to grow wildly like this. He and Allen both had an infusion rack and stumbled upwards to find Wen Baoshan who was trapped in the hospital bed.
But now, the red-haired young man has left.
The stairs are covered with mushroom blankets, making people not even able to take their feet.
"Evil..." Linhai's entire face was about to frown, "It's so disgusting, are you really going to pass here?"
Cui Zuojing: "Or you want to meet Sha Li and her children again."
"... Then forget it." Dong Linhai sighed and asked, "There will be no negative impact after this thing is burned."
"I'm not sure how toxic the bacteria are. These mutant insects can tolerate it, and it's not necessarily safe for us." Lin Hangzhi sighed, "But what else can I do besides burning it?"
"I hope the protective suit is strong enough." Dong Linhai muttered in a low voice, and before pulling the flamethrow trigger with his fate, he shouted, "Be careful, I'm going to start!"
The fiery red dragon sprayed out from the mouth of the tube, which was a unique white flame in the high temperature, which made the bacterial blanket and insects crackle, and the flowing juice was instantly evaporated, and the others followed him tightly and quickly. Cui Zuojing heard a dripping alarm - it was an alarm from the sensor of the protective suit, indicating that the toxic gas around him had exceeded the standard.
They walked quickly to prevent the insects from rushing up after cooling down. In less than two minutes, they had already reached the third floor underground. When Dong Linhai looked, he found that the stairs leading to the fourth floor had been flooded with dark green water.
Cui Zuojing gently pulled it with a knife. The water was a little thick, and bubbles appeared when it was stirred. Obviously, there was something unknown inside.
Lin Hangzhi: "Water? How come there is so much water accumulation?"
Cui Zuojing: "The pipe leaked somewhere, and then the door leading to the fourth floor must require a lot of permission to open it. If it is closed, it will naturally accumulate."
"Sure enough." Dong Zheng didn't feel too surprised. He took a deep breath and was ready to welcome the alien giant insect. He simply ordered, "Let's go on the third floor, and there is a staircase in the northeast corner."
Wang Que quickly planned a route in his mind and said worriedly: "But in this way we will cross the third floor, where there are many insects."
Dong Zheng: "Obviously, Box wants us to do this. Go, Que'er always pay attention to the situation and try to choose the safest path."
Wang Que nodded vigorously.
When they stepped into the third floor, everyone was nervous. Wang Que stood there quietly and sensed it quietly for a while, pointing in one direction: "This."
Until now, they still haven't found an identity card with enough permissions. The cards they get on the third floor are simply not enough to ensure that they are unobstructed on the most important fourth floor.
For this reason, Cui Zuojing broke the door one by one, and wasted a lot of effort.
Dong Linhai had a sudden inspiration: "By the way, can Brother Fu's key be used? Since his key has the function of 005, isn't it easy to open this door?"
Cui Zuojing shook his head: "It is best not to use Fu Zhe's things in the box. A ability like him that can directly reduce the difficulty of the plot will be discovered by Kether once it is used."
Lin Hangzhi: "k...what?"
"I'll tell you carefully after I get out." Cui Zuojing pounded for a while and kicked the door open with a hard kick, and was so tired that he was sweating. He said, "And there is no keyhole in this door, how can he open the key?"
Dong Linhai: “…so.”
Cui Zuojing was so tired that he was not good at unlocking the locks. He always liked to use a knife to solve problems during lunch tea parties, so this time, unlocking the locks was also simple and crude.
Fortunately, this room seemed to be the dormitory of a researcher. Dong Zheng successfully got an identity card in the drawer. Now, the trouble of entering the general control was the only thing they were going to encounter throughout the journey, the mutated creatures they were going to encounter.
Lin Hangzhi stood at the door of the dormitory, always feeling that something seemed to be staring at him in the depths of the darkness. He hesitated a little and walked tentatively two steps in front of the corridor.
Suddenly he staggered and tripped by something.
Wang Que suddenly said, "Something is coming, go quickly!"
Dong Linhai, who was searching for other clues, heard this and rushed out of the room with the others, turned around the corner under the guidance of Wang Que, and hid for the time being.
A spider nearly two meters high quickly climbed over from the ceiling and climbed straight into the room they were in. The spider's hairy body was covered with many white spots, as if his eyes were looking coldly around.
Three minutes later, the spider who had found nothing came out of the dormitory, spit out a string of translucent spider silk from the door, and crawled into the darkness.
Lin Hangzhi realized at this time that what had tripped him just now was a spider silk.
The roads behind... will not be full of "traps" like this!
He whispered his concerns, and Wang Que was silent for a moment and said, "The insects here are very conscious. Unlike the ones on the third floor, I can barely control them for a while if I try my best. They may affect me in turn. Moreover, this is a nest they have lived in for countless years. There must be many crises. Everyone must be careful. All I can do is find a more suitable path."
