The gunfire below became extremely chaotic, and there was even an explosion.
"Aberrations are coming!"
The two elite players guarding the entrance to the cave's high platform shouted warnings and fired at the bottom.
I don't know when it started, but a large number of crawling aberrations had climbed up the surrounding rock walls and were heading towards the entrance of the cave where Fang Heng was.
"Captain! There are too many of them!"
Seeing that something was not going well, the two players yelled and retreated to the entrance of the cave behind.
In the blink of an eye, the player team has completely retreated into the hole at the rear.
A steady stream of crawling aberrations from the outside almost surrounded the entire cave entrance!
Alba's team, which originally led the players to stay below, was also having a hard time.
"Let's go! There are too many enemies! Get out of here first!"
"retreat!"
Seeing that the number of reptilian aberrations was increasing, the team's output capability could no longer keep up, and there was a faint tendency to be surrounded. Upon seeing this, Alba immediately called on the players to evacuate.
Until it retreats to the exit position, the lithified distortion body gradually recedes.
Fortunately, the alienated aberrations were probably used to the environment in the cave and did not continue to chase them out.
After escaping, all the players gasped and sat on the ground.
Alba panted heavily and looked around blankly.
etc.
Where is the boss?
What about Dr. Eddington?
The situation was critical just now, and he had already issued an emergency evacuation signal to the top.
But……
The other party didn't receive it?
This is bad.
The situation was critical just now, and during the retreat, he had no time to pay attention to the situation of Shenghui's team above.
Judging from this situation, Sheng Hui and his team are still trapped in the cave.
"Hurry! Contact Commander Shenghui!"
…
In the cave, Fang Heng and his group hid in the passage to take a break.
At the beginning, a large number of aberrations poured into the channel and attacked them.
In desperation, Fang Heng controlled the lickers to block the intersection and limit the number of aberrant invasions. The team retreated while fighting back.
Unexpectedly, the deeper you go into the cave, the fewer aberrations you dare to chase into the cave.
Mo Jiawei was confused and said: "Strange, why didn't they catch up?"
Professor Eddington fiddled with the bottle of slime that he had asked Fang Heng to get before and said, "I think the problem lies with this slime."
Everyone was curious and looked back at Addington, "Slime?"
"Well, aberrant creatures still have some instincts after being deformed, such as the danger perception of higher-order creatures in the food chain." Eddington tried to analyze: "I think these are likely to be of higher-order life forms in the food chain.
Secretions, they are scared, so they don’t dare to come close.”
"Forehead……"
Mo Jiawei swallowed carefully when he heard this, and carefully looked into the depths of the bottomless hole in front of him, "It means that the further back you go, the more dangerous it will be. Are we going to be trapped in a tiger's mouth?"
"No, I found that this mucus has traces of artificial synthesis. It combines the characteristic aura of higher-order creatures. I think it was probably developed by Dude to dispel those aberrations."
Professor Eddington's eyes lit up as he spoke, "Based on this, we can infer that the place we are looking for must be right, and Dude's research team should be inside!"
Sheng Hui briefly communicated with the outside world through the survival radio. He turned back to everyone and said: "A large number of aberrations just appeared below. The team cannot withstand it. Alba and Zhuo Jinze's team has returned to the ground."
Everyone's hearts sank, and they all subconsciously looked back.
I was chased all the way just now and was blocked in the passage again.
"You've come here, but the risk of staying here is the same. I suggest you keep moving forward and see what's ahead."
Fang Heng shrugged as he spoke and continued walking towards the inside of the cave.
There are two possibilities.
Either the mission location is ahead, help the Federation find the mission target, and earn a large sum of crystals from the Federation.
Earn blood!
Otherwise, they are unlucky, Eddington's judgment is wrong, and they will encounter high-level aberrations.
When the time comes, do it yourself, kill the aberrants and get the crystals.
It’s not a loss no matter what!
Everyone looked at each other, nodded, and followed Fang Heng forward to explore carefully.
…
Everyone walked in circles along the cave passage for nearly ten minutes.
"It's a cliff."
An exit appeared ahead.
The exit is still a cliff platform.
Fang Heng walked to the edge of the platform, lowered his head and looked down.
Below is a bottomless darkness.
No way?
Sheng Hui threw the burning stick in his hand high towards the cliff ahead.
Light illuminates the cave.
Soon, the burning rod fell into the bottomless abyss, and the light below gradually dimmed and was swallowed by darkness.
So deep?
There is probably no way to survive if it falls.
The players' hearts sank.
Sheng Hui lit a hand-held burning stick again and held it in his hand.
"Look across the way."
Directly opposite the rear opening and slightly upward, there is also a raised platform opening on the cliff in front.
The two are about twenty meters apart.
"I think the two holes were originally connected by a suspension bridge or something." Fang Heng squatted on the platform and looked at the traces left on the ground. "Look, there are nails and iron cables here, and there are breaks on the iron cables.
, it was cut off artificially.”
After hearing this, Sheng Hui also came over and squatted beside Fang Heng, checking the traces and clues left on the ground.
"indeed."
Sheng Hui shook his head helplessly and said: "It seems that we can only reach this location this time. We need to wait for the follow-up support team. With their help, we can climb over the cave on the opposite side."
"It's not necessary."
Fang Heng looked down at the bottomless abyss, then looked at the other side, and asked, "Do you have any iron ropes?"
Everyone looked at Fang Heng in confusion.
Alba whispered: "Hey, Fang Shuo, don't be so aggressive."
"Well, I can do that. Didn't you bring a rope?"
"The team has."
Sheng Hui was curious about how Fang Heng would use this cliff and asked his men to take out the rope from their backpack and give it to Fang Heng.
"Thanks."
Fang Heng took out two ropes and asked team players to hold the other ends of the ropes.
Then, Fang Heng stepped forward.
With the help of the vampire boots, his whole body rose out of thin air and floated in mid-air.
Talent skill? Air levitation?
Everyone was surprised.
Soon, Fang Heng flew over the cliff, floated to the other side with the rope, and fixed the two iron ropes on the rocks.
Done!
Fang Heng tested the stability of the iron rope, turned around, and gestured to the players on the other side.
The players looked at each other.
What?
It's that simple?
"bring it on."
Fang Heng firmly fixed one end of the iron rope and signaled that the other party could come over.
Seeing this, Sheng Hui nodded and said, "Let's go there."
The physical fitness of the elite group is higher than that of ordinary people, and the two iron ropes are enough to maintain balance and cross easily.
No surprises.
As for Eddington, Fang Heng could only float back and pull him to fly again.
