Volume 3 Above the Moon (5)

"Pu"

Unlike those advanced evolutionists who have abilities such as glimmer vision, Zhang Hong, who went down to the bottom of the cave, still honestly turned on the lamp that Gong Liangshuo gave him.

The other few people had no intention of joining the group. Out of confidence in their strength, they had already taken a step forward. Zhang Hong used the strong flashlight in his hand to straverse the surroundings and found that he was now in a very wide underground facility. The various architectural relics arranged in regular arrangements and a straight road highlighted the fact that it was originally an artificial creation.

Zhang Hong, who had just come down from above with a drift cable, was landing in the middle of the road. After a brief observation, he chose to follow Will. According to the traces left on the ground, the three people who came down first had obviously parted ways and each chose one direction to explore.

Because Will was dragging a loli in the back, his movements were much more obvious than Hou Ping's, and it was easier to identify, so he would not be able to lose it. Moreover, Hou Ping, who lived in an unknown life, obviously had inexplicable hostility towards the Nangong family, and it was definitely not a good idea to follow him.

After walking forward for about 100 meters, some scattered artificial instruments appeared on the ground, most of which were rusty vacuum food aluminum boxes and some deformed water storage cups. Occasionally, you can see several shells covered with copper rust. These things should have been left behind a long time ago and have no research value. Zhang Hong ignored the garbage on the ground and continued to move forward.

"Click!"

A crisp sound came from Zhang Hong's feet, and it was so abrupt in the silent cave.

Zhang Hong pointed the light in his hand at his feet and found that what was making the sound just now was a human hand bone. After years of invasion, this bone with only half of his palm had decayed and was easily stepped on by him.

Zhang Hong frowned and took his feet back, carefully observing the broken mouth of the hand bone. The incision was relatively flat, and the attacker had an extremely sharp teeth. After being bitten, the half of his arm was forcibly torn off from his body, and then discarded it on one side. Obviously, the perpetrator was not satisfied with the bone-filled food. (Because there were no tooth marks on the hand bones)

For the alien species that rank survival first, picky eating behavior only exists at the top of the food chain. Only when you are sure that you can hunt enough food at any time will you give up the edible part. As a underground with few creatures, the living creatures that can still be so extravagant and wasteful can be said to be the king of alien species! Zhang Hong couldn't help but worry about the big and small ones ahead.

In order to meet with them earlier, Zhang Hong accelerated his pace. In the next ten minutes, the roadside gradually increased with more loose bones. In addition to humans, there were many other biological species, and more and more military scrapped equipment began to appear on the ground.

"call!"

A black shadow pounced on Zhang Hong from a pile of corpses.

Zhang Hong, who was nervous all the way, was ready, and pulled out his combat dagger and slashed it over with his backhand.

After the blade intersected with the black shadow, Zhang Hong, who noticed that he felt something wrong, quickly put away his knife and took several steps in a row. The black shadow fell to the ground and fell into pieces. It turned out that the black shadow was just a skeleton that had been weathered! At the same time, another black shadow jumped up and pounced on Zhang Hong.

Zhang Hong, who was ready in his heart, did not retreat but advanced instead. He raised his dagger and took two steps in a row, and stabbed his head fiercely at the attacking black shadow.

Seeing this, the creature jumped in the air did not care about hurting people, so he hurriedly protected his eyes and other vital points with both hands, and greeted the attack with the back of his hands.

"Clang!"

The dagger was inserted into Black Shadow's arm and made a sound of metal and stone intersecting and bounced away. Black Shadow was knocked back and fell to the ground and rolled several times.

Zhang Hong took advantage of this gap and shot the light in his hand on the black shadow. The creature screamed and avoided the bright lamppost and hid in the darkness.

Although it was only a moment, Zhang Hong could see clearly the creature's appearance.

The creature that attacked him was like a shriveled old man. His body had a few sparse body hair. His big round black eyes accounted for a quarter of the entire head, which was very disproportionate to the tiny little nose below. The alien species with the loss of coordination of facial features made people feel that it was shockingly ugly.

However, its strength is quite good. Its body is thin and its strength or speed is not inferior to that of ordinary third-level creatures. And just judging by the situation where it blocked its own attack just now, its skin and bones are extremely hard, and its defense is perverted.

The flashlight of the light was shining by himself, which made the creature, who was used to the darkness, suffers an attack similar to a dazzling bomb, which really burns its visual nerves.

Out of fear of the strong light in Zhang Hong's hands, he kept hiding behind obstacles after the first sneak attack and secretly coveting Zhang Hong's fresh food.

A small tail was hung on his butt, and Zhang Hong's speed of progress was significantly slowed down. Although Zhang Hong was anxious, he had no choice but to accept reality and move slowly in alertness.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long. After a while, a beam of lightning suddenly lit up in front of Zhang Hong, and the dazzling light mixed with the screams of unknown creatures. Then, the two people ran over from the darkness:

"Run!"

Zhang Hong immediately followed the team without saying a word.

After running for a while, the two leading men still didn't want to stop. Zhang Hong finally couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart and asked:

"What's going on?"

"We kept walking forward after we got down. Unexpectedly, we found an experimental base in Area C at the end of the passage. Out of curiosity, we went in and took a look, which annoyed a group of alien species."

Will said the story very concisely, but Zhang Hong also understood the general meaning. After exploring this direction, they probably alarmed a group of alien species that used abandoned research bases as nests. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they chose to escape.

"What a trouble! These ignorant things always chase us! Brother Will, do I want me to kill them all?"

The Loli, who had been running all the time, suddenly spoke, and her tone was so loud that she was scary. Only then did Zhang Hong notice that although the loli's legs were very short, their speed of running was not inferior to them.

"Don't make any noise!"

“Oh~”

Lingyin, who was scolded by Will, was completely dissatisfied and she continued to follow him obediently.

"So what should we do now?"

You can't run endlessly, right? Zhang Hong said in his heart.

Will pointed at his front:

"We meet with Hou Ping first, and then think of a solution."

What they didn't expect was that the other passage was surprisingly short. After a few minutes of running, they saw a metal wall that sealed the entire passage. Two abandoned posts stood on both sides of the broken door, and some abandoned mechanical equipment was parked at the door.

Seeing Will and the others passing by without saying a word, Zhang Hong had no choice. Maybe he could deal with one or two alien species alone like those they encountered on the road, but what Will just said was a group! If he didn't want to be dismembered by them, he could only try his best to keep up with the large army.

What surprised Zhang Hong was that the aliens behind stopped their steps when they chased under the wall, as if there was something they were very afraid of in the wall.

Zhang Hong then relaxed his body, looked at the alien door that was sitting at the gate, and then turned around and walked deep into the passage. After passing some dilapidated buildings of unknown purpose, the scenery inside was completely different from the one outside. Not only did the ground turn into jade with unknown materials, but crystals that could shine in the darkness were regularly inserted around the road.

As Zhang Hong went deeper, the dark cave was embellished by various jade and crystals, like a treasure house. Various glows shone in it, and the starlight jumped back and forth between the crystals, making people feel like they were in a fairy tale world isolated from the world. The three people who entered this area before him were studying a strange circular array surrounded by jade pillars.

"When you entered this area, did anything unusual happen?"

Seeing Zhang Hong come in, Hou Ping asked.

Zhang Hong was quite surprised why Hou Ping asked this question:

"No! Everything is very normal!"

"Is it just targeting me?"

After hearing Zhang Hong's answer, Hou Ping fell into deep thought. After crossing the metal wall, he was immediately besieged by the force field. In the end, he rushed over with his strong strength.

It was not surprising that he saw Will and the little loli come in at first, because they also had the corresponding strength. But in the end, Zhang Hong's appearance surprised him. After so many days of getting along, he was sure that Zhang Hong did not have the ability to break into the penalty area.

Then there is only one reasonable explanation - those force fields have prerequisite conditions!

“Hey~”

After watching the circular formation for a while, the little loli was unable to get the idea, so she started Hou Ping's idea:

"Don't you always brag about how long you live and how knowledgeable you are? Do you see any good things here?"

Unexpectedly, Hou Ping really took this kind of excitement. He gave up the problem he was thinking about and pointed to the circle formation and said:

"Of course I have something to do! According to my opinion, this thing should be an arbitrary door or directional door that can directly transmit creatures and items to a certain place. But unfortunately, this set of equipment seems to have been damaged by those stupid humans..."

"broken?"

The little loli asked unwillingly.

"broken!"

Hou Ping nodded with regret:

"Those humans should have done very rough operations on it, which caused the entire system to stop. This rune array is extremely precise, and although I can see that it is probably impossible to repair it."

"I found out the general information about this ruin when I was on the ground."

Will also gave up studying this shutdown rune array and raised his head to participate in the discussion:

"The records on the data are very vague, and many things are mentioned in detail, but we found a large laboratory on the other side, which shows that a lot of time and money have been invested in this ruins. The record is as simple as it is, someone deliberately downplayed its existence."

"Why hide it?"

Ringyin asked curiously.
