The communication was poor, so the material distribution center quickly sent personnel to check the route. It was naturally not difficult to send a message to the research institute.
Not long after Qian Lihang and the other six arrived at the material distribution center, they arranged a room to sleep. They were exhausted these past few days. Even if they were injured, they could fall asleep easily. They were all sleeping soundly at this moment.
Miao Pu and Jiang Shangqing had to go to the surface of the earth to absorb alien energy at night. This was illegal, but as members of the heroic force who had made brilliant achievements and saved their comrades, they could still get this convenience.
So the two of them successfully went up to the surface and began to absorb energy. Jiang Shangqing's superpower attribute was light. The efficiency decreased at night and the progress was slow. However, his consumption was limited, and he could replenish it faster than Miao Pu.
Miao Pu didn't care much at this time and directly absorbed life energy from the surrounding vegetation. In less than a moment, he just let the vegetation in the area of more than 2 acres wither. Jiang Shangqing swallowed his saliva and clearly realized that he was in a strange situation.
The upper limit is the gap with Miao Pu.
In fact, Miao Pu not only has the upper limit of superpowers that is multiple times that of ordinary superpowers, but also far exceeds the ordinary in terms of purity. Of course, purification takes time, and Miao Pu is just swallowing it whole now.
Considering that this time he went underground, there might be a big war and he would not be able to get supplies for a long time. Miao Pu seemed particularly greedy this time. He did not stop this plundering until 4 o'clock in the morning with more than an hour left and pondered.
I also need a break.
Before Miao Pu went to bed, he went to inquire about the situation.
The situation was very bad, communication was still not possible, neither the messenger nor the maintenance person had returned. The officers and soldiers stationed at the material distribution center were still taking chances, but he knew that this was probably the worst case scenario, even worse than
The material distribution center will be damaged if it is directly attacked by monsters.
At 4 o'clock in the morning, Miao Pu was woken up by Kang Danian.
After self-examination, the state was still far from optimal, but time waited for no one, and Miao Pu was becoming more and more worried about this operation.
The situation is still bad, communications are still poor, and there is still no news from the people sent out. There is already something wrong with the people stationed at the material distribution center. After all, they have good military literacy and know that there is no room for mistakes in the material distribution center, so they do not go to the material distribution center again and again.
The stupid thing about people finding out the truth.
Kang Danian is now hard-hearted, knowing that there are some things that he can't worry about, and it won't help. It will only make himself confused, so he suppresses his emotional impulse and discusses the action plan with Jiang Shangqing and Miao Pu.
.
He and Jiang Shangqing didn't know exactly where the so-called 2% out-of-control area was. There was no detailed description of it in the original information.
Fortunately, they at least know which outer ring area is under the jurisdiction of the 8733 Division, Channel B.
Jiang Shangqing pointed to the simple map and said: "If we go from No. D, we have to jump over No. C passage, and this section of the road is very long. If we go from No. E, we have to cross the largest No. A, and we have to go to No. E first. Obviously
, this channel has been reduced to a first-line area again, rather than a second-line area."
"Let's go to No. E. I don't think the garrison of No. D will open the gate to No. C for us. The communication at the No. E agricultural reclamation station is not smooth, and there is a possibility of deception. By the way, check the line and clean up the monsters. As the biggest
It is also the most important passage, and No. A needs to inspect it. Of course, we will not investigate in depth whether it is No. A or the research institute between Ding and E. This will be a surprise operation. "
Kang Danian and Jiang Shangqing looked at each other and finally nodded, "Okay, let's do this."
After the action strategy was formulated, Jiang Shangqing went to the troop commander stationed at the material distribution center for coordination, while Kang Danian went to mobilize his subordinates.
At 4:15, the team set off. In addition to Miao Pu and other original rescuers, there was also a team, which would set up barriers and station at the T-intersection turning towards the research institute, and push the safety area back to the barrier line. In addition, there would be
The institute investigates the situation. Moreover, this operation has brought enough cables, and a temporary communication line will be established to facilitate communication with each other.
If it were before, Miao Pu would think that the garrison's approach was conservative and prudent, but now he doesn't think so. He feels that there are basically no truly safe areas in the entire underground ruins. Unfortunately, he has nothing to take action.
The evidence is only conjecture, and conjecture is not reliable, and the more professional people are, the harder it is to be convinced in the professional field.
The tunnel was illuminated shortly after the scientific research team led by Buji arrived, with lights every ten meters. However, nowadays, people are not open-minded, and this insufficient lighting can only add to the weird atmosphere.
Because the wiring needs to be laid and the original lines need to be checked, the rail car moves very slowly. This is because of the help of someone with a keen eye like Miao Pu, otherwise it would probably have to be walked.
Time passed, and the group was halfway through the trip, but still found nothing unusual.
Qian Lihang and the others have become more and more experienced and know better and better how to cooperate with Miao Pu. Therefore, along the way, they will not look around at all, but just take the time to rest. It is impossible to fall asleep, but it is always possible to close your eyes and rest.
.
The other soldier B was relatively nervous, with his eyes wide open and his gun clenched, as if he were a newbie.
It's not entirely their fault that they are so out of shape. There are too many rumors coming from the front line, and they are dealing with unknown monsters. It is normal for everyone to be armed.
After walking more than half the way, Miao Pu suddenly stopped.
The railcar slowly stopped, and Miao Pu asked the soldier driving the car to move back more than ten meters.
While picking up his bow and arrows, Miao Pu pointed out: "See what's different about the wall over there, right below the lamp?"
Kang Danian looked over and stared for a long time and said, "Is there any difference?" He turned to Jiang Shangqing and asked, "Do you see the problem?"
Jiang Shangqing also shook his head.
At this moment, Miao Pu inhaled and raised his chest, his big bow was fully drawn, and energy was poured into the arrows.
Boom
A group of people only saw the afterimage of the arrow, and the entire arrow had already sunk into the wall.
"Ouch..."
A shrill scream was followed by a rustling sound.
The faces of a group of soldiers who were following him changed color, and there was a sound of gun bolts being pulled behind Miao Pu.
"This is probably visual deception." Miao Pu explained: "There is no entity anymore, but the intertwined fluffy plants imitate the surrounding scenery like a chameleon. And the characteristics of this plant are hidden from sensory detection.
.”
"Then how did you find out?" Jiang Shangqing asked curiously.
"It is exactly the same as the one next to it, and there are monsters hidden in this cave. My hearing is very good."
It turns out that the wall of the tunnel is not a whole like an ordinary room. In order to prevent thermal expansion and contraction, it has expansion joints. It looks like a large cement wall. Ordinary people may not be able to distinguish two pieces of cement.
The difference between the walls, especially when the rail car is still moving, is a little faster than an adult running at a constant speed, but for Miao Pu, it is enough to see the subtle differences between each cement wall.
This requires not only good eyesight, reflex nerves, and thinking speed, but also strong enough. In fact, it is not uncommon for Miao Pu to be able to do this. Without this ability, how can he still be himself while moving at high speed?
Adjust and complete the attack action? Once you go too fast, you will kill yourself.
But in the eyes of ordinary people, this performance is too sharp. It is simply a high-speed camera plus a quantum computer.
The monster that was pierced by Miao Pu's arrow and nailed to the cave wall was quickly pulled out by the vines.
This is a monster that has never been seen before. At first glance, it looks like a close relative of a lizard. At least the mouth, nose, eyes and ears are very similar, and the skin also has the thin scales of a lizard. The difference is also obvious, its overall shape
He looks more like a human being, with a bunch of big braids.
Of course, in fact, those are not big braids, but tentacles, just on the back of the head. The skull extends backward, like a reverse pointed spade or shovel, and those tentacles are just under the skull, all the way to the neck.
, there can be more than 2, the middle ones are thick, and the outer ones are relatively thin, but the length difference is not big.
It has a tail, thick bones, well-developed muscles, sharp toes and claws, brown-gray skin with blue and black horizontal stripes, blue blood, and teeth like files. It looks like a typical carnivorous monster. But after passing
After dissection, it was discovered that this perception was wrong. The real digestive system of this monster is the three tentacles near the center of the back of the head. They directly suck liquid nutrients. This nutrition can be directly absorbed by their bodies, so they are exempt from similar problems.
The digestive process of the intestines and stomach. The stomach pouch is an organ that is very convenient for vomiting.
"It seems that it is difficult for this kind of monster to survive independently. They should only be responsible for hunting. Maybe they are a very special group of creatures. After obtaining food, they carry it back to the nest, process it into nutrient solution and then absorb it." Miao Pu said.
While dissecting the monster, he used his senses to explore.
Qian Lihang picked up the belt that was cut from the monster's waist during the dissection and said, "This thing looks familiar. I've seen similar ones in the material warehouse before. This should be a military product."
Li Xuesong interjected: "Now, we know the whereabouts of another group of victims."
Miao Pu, who had been paying attention to the monster, stood up and said: "This is a half-flesh, half-plant monster. We may be lucky enough to see the real-life version of Grandma Lanruosi.
Zhou Shuai shuddered and said in surprise: "Thousand-year-old locust tree demon?"
Miao Pu walked towards the cave and said as he walked: "I don't know what kind of tree demon it is, but I am sure that our activities in this underground ruins cannot avoid this guy.
The disguise at the entrance of the cave had been damaged when the monster was pulled out, and it had not yet been restored. Miao Pu reached out and pulled it off in a few strokes, throwing it aside, revealing the dark cave behind.
Out of curiosity, Qian Lihang stepped forward to study and found that the disguise was like thin silk cotton, which was not only dense but also tough. With his strength, he stepped on it with one foot and picked it with a gun with both hands, but he couldn't tear it apart. He couldn't help but cursed: "This ghost
This thing, such a thin layer, is actually stronger than nylon, it’s so damn evil.”
Miao Pu looked back and said, "It's not simple. Most of your strength has been absorbed by them, so you can't tear it open."
"Ci'ao, isn't it? It's still working normally after this?" Xue Ming stared at the condensation that had transformed into a bunch of tape-like paper with a surprised look on his face. He took out a lighter and burned it. The result was equally surprising.
Nylon is afraid of fire, but this thing is not. Everyone around can see it clearly. When the lighter is handed over, the flame shrinks a few times. When the lighter is taken away, the flame head returns to its original size.
Miao Pu frowned and reminded everyone: "Since we set foot on this land, all the monsters we have encountered are very strange. Even those on the surface have been affected to a certain extent. You have all seen this. You all know that,
I just play with plants, but the plants here are very abnormal and have very different energy-absorbing abilities, and I guess they have probably formed a mutually beneficial ecosystem, so everyone needs to be careful next time.
"
As Miao Pu spoke, he pointed at the monster he shot: "This monster was suddenly attacked and killed by me. There are countless things I can do. Moreover, our dissection has only revealed part of the information about this monster. Its
The specific attack method is not known, but it must not be simple to exist in such an environment, otherwise it would have been eliminated long ago.
Both Kang Danian and Jiang Shangqing knew that these words were actually meant for the soldier B who followed. These people who rescued Miao Pu went through life and death along the way, and there were constant dangers. How could they have any peeps?
So Kang Danian helped in a lecturing tone: "You all know the identity of [Cang Lang]. He is the world's top monster hunter. In this operation, you must obey the orders and prohibitions."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Miao Pu couldn't stand being treated so well by Kang Danian, and he had goosebumps on his skin. However, the army was very particular about role models, so Miao Pu had no choice but to follow the example.
The cave was so deep that it was unclear where it led. Miao Pu fired a few bent lamp heads, took a few glances, and then looked away.
The hole dug by this kind of monster is not only narrow, but the quality cannot be guaranteed at all. It is dangerous to simply pass through it, not to mention the impact caused by the monster fighting inside.
Therefore, even if it is a shortcut to the thousand-year-old dryad's lair, Miao Pu is not prepared to explore it. What's more, he believes that most of the underground ruins have been dug into ant nests, and the one in front of him is just a huge network.
It's just a terminal in the network. Even if he can resist the landslide, he will probably be wasting time in the network channel, and he may even be surrounded and killed.
He briefly discussed his speculations with Kang Danian and Jiang Shangqing. Jiang Shangqing communicated with Li Tong, the leader of the later soldiers, and told them that the exposure of this passage meant that the so-called safe zone was a joke.
In view of this, the original plan of the garrison at the Material Distribution Center to guard the intersection and turn the intersection from the intersection to the Material Distribution Center into a monster-free buffer zone is naturally a fantasy. Even the Material Distribution Center needs to be more careful, as monsters can
By opening holes in the tunnel, you can open holes in many locations in the material distribution center. No place is absolutely safe now.
Li Tong finally decided to send back and report the latest situation, while the rest continued to move forward with Miao Pu and his party.
In Li Tong's words: "I can take this opportunity to at least briefly confirm the situation at the research institute. If the problem is serious, then I have no choice but to send the information back to the headquarters immediately after dawn, and try to set up a temporary communication line to connect No.
The channel becomes the communication terminal in the disaster area, instead of continuing to wait for the communication with the farming station to be restored.
After listening to Jiang Shangqing's explanation, Miao Pu said: "The most we can do is go to the research institute to confirm the situation. They can only go back by themselves. We can't escort them again."
"Well, I said, they also understand the dangers involved."
In this case, Miao Pu couldn't say anything else.
The group of people set out on the road again, this time at a much faster speed. The discovery of the rat track made it meaningless to carefully comb the tunnel. After all, any location could become the terminal of a new rat track.
As soon as he turned the T-intersection, Miao Pu heard the sound of gunshots. However, he did not notify Kang Danian and the others immediately, but only further strengthened his detection awareness of the surrounding area.
As a result, after walking a little further, Kang Danian and others realized that something was wrong, because the tunnel gate leading to the research institute was closed.
There are no traces of fighting outside, and the gate is closed. The easiest guess in this case is that there is a serious situation in the institute, and in order to prevent the rear from being penetrated by monsters, the gate is closed.
Of course, there is another possibility that the enemy has taken control of the operation room and is closing the door to beat the dogs.
Kang Danian stepped directly from the rail car onto the trail. He had an ID card and could manually open and close the gate.
But when he opened the moisture-proof cover, he saw that the power indicator light was red. He turned to Miao Pu and said, "There is no starting energy."
Miao Pu jumped out of the car and walked towards the metal gate. The people behind him saw a silver light in the sky, then it dimmed. Then they saw Miao Pu lift his foot, and a huge metal plate was kicked away, and a huge metal plate appeared on the gate.
A simple entrance and exit in the shape of an inverted triangle.
Qian Lihang and the others were not surprised by this. They carried guns and chewed gum, and followed Miao Pu Shiran through the entrance.
Li Tong and others were shocked, especially when they saw the smooth cut on the gate. The thickness was more than 1 inch by visual inspection. This is a high-strength alloy door. Miao Pu's attack power is almost as powerful as an industrial laser cutting machine.
,Is that human being?
There are three gates, and Miao Pu broke through three gates in a row. Not far ahead is the platform. Once here, even Kang Danian and the others clearly heard the gunfire.
Li Tong and the other six were about to rush in with guns in hand, but Jiang Shangqing grabbed him. He looked angry but said in a low voice: "Are you rookies? Be careful of traps.
Qian Lihang and the others, who were used to cooperating with Miao Pu, were also holding guns, but they seemed to be much more relaxed than Li Tong and the others. Miao Pu was the most powerful radar player. If Miao Pu didn't speak, it meant there was no situation.
Moving forward a little further, seeing the platform in sight, Miao Pu stopped and raised his fist to signal.
Qian Lihang and others stopped.
A silk vine protruded from Miao Pu's body, silently and quickly probing forward in the air, then bent its tip and pointed diagonally toward the ground.
Hu Yantie knowingly took off two high-explosive grenades from the belt around his waist. Following Miao Pu's three-two-one countdown gesture, he pulled out the ring, moved his palm forward, and threw the two grenades out.
The vine seemed to be alive and extremely dexterous. It rolled up in the air, caught the grenade, and then stabbed down diagonally, penetrating the ground.
Boom boom
Amidst the explosion, the entrance to the pit appeared on the ground, and billowing black smoke and dazzling fire spewed out.
Before the fireworks dissipated, a monster covered in fire jumped out of the hole.
Qian Lihang and others immediately opened fire.
Li Tong and the other six fired very fiercely, with the intention of sweeping the monsters into sieves, but Qian Lihang and the others were different. They fired in bursts, and their aim was obviously not the so-called vital points, but more limbs.
Boom
The bowstring vibrated, and Miao Pu fired an arrow. The sound could not even be blocked by the dense gunfire. Such arrows were undoubtedly fatal. The monster weighing more than 20 pounds was nailed a long way by an arrow before falling to the ground. It was completely unresponsive and allowed to burn in the fire.
.
While Li Tong was waiting, someone was still firing. One of the magazines was opened, and his finger kept pressing the trigger, making a clicking sound.
