In order to ensure safety, Vivian threw another little bat down. This time she let the little bat fly down with a small piece of protective crystal hanging on it. Watching such a small bat flying in dangling with a piece of crystal hanging on it
Hao Ren was really worried that it would hit the wall in the passage, but luckily, it reached the bottom smoothly.
There is a world of tunnels extending in all directions under the metal pipe, with a complex structure like an ant nest. Based on the blood stains remaining on the pipe, Vivian found the route that the Stitch Monster took when it came out, and found many monsters that died in the pipe: they collapsed.
Together, a large area of skin on the upper body was burned, and the cause of the burning was a short-circuit fault in the black discharge vest on the body. It seemed that the electromagnetic pulse bomb Hao Ren had thrown earlier had an extraordinary effect, not only blowing up the mechanical control part of the metal pipe
, and also killed a large number of monsters that were rushing out, and let them block part of the exit.
But Vivian's little bat also discovered that the sound of mechanical friction was coming from some forks in the pipeline. Operations there may be gradually returning to work. If this pipeline system has the function of self-maintenance and cleaning, then other monsters should soon find it.
New outlets have emerged.
Hao Ren decisively decided to rush in before those pipeline systems resumed operation. In order to give everyone enough time and to cause more trouble to the underground facility, he threw several electromagnetic pulse bombs under a pipeline.
After a series of muffled sounds came from deep underground, Hao Ren nodded: "It's cleaned up, let's go down. I'll take the lead."
Uruk frowned. The thing in front of him was something he had never seen before. He instinctively felt that there was a disgusting smell coming from the depths of the tunnel. But he did not hesitate or flinch, no matter what. There was a group of
Jie's guy dug such a hole deep in the werewolf's holy mountain. He couldn't leave it alone. The wolf king next to him turned his head and looked around: "Are you ready to go down? I don't have to go down, right?"
Uruk stared at his mount: "How can you retreat at this time?"
The Wolf King bared his teeth: "Look at my four claws! How do you want me to use these to dig out pipes?"
Uruk suddenly felt that what his mount said made sense, and he was speechless.
"You and the other wolves will stay outside," Hao Ren ordered the Wolf King. "I'll leave you a communicator. If there's any movement, let us know immediately. Just talk to it. In addition, other soldiers should be there later.
Just come here. Let them follow us down, and we will leave someone down below to take care of Ofra. Is that no problem?"
Hao Ren felt comfortable being the captain, and habitually gave instructions on the next thing. After he finished speaking, he remembered that there was a real commander here. Ofra waved her hand nonchalantly: "That's it.
Let's do it, I've discovered it. Now you are very familiar with this situation, but I feel like I can't do anything if I want to take command."
Hao Ren hung the communicator around the Wolf King's neck, and after confirming that everything was ready, he was the first to jump into the deep and dark mechanical pipe.
The pipe slopes downward, but the slope is still enough for people to walk. As long as they are careful under their feet, they will not fall down. Moreover, the inside of the pipe is wider than expected. Adults can almost stand upright in it: it is not so much a pipe as it is a pipe.
Rather, they were some cylindrical corridors. Hao Ren observed the metal pipe walls around him as he walked. The metal on it was obviously not cast by the local technology of Horleta, and its fine structure was far beyond what this planet should have.
The level of technology. The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became: the existence of these high-tech things can only explain one problem, that is, there is much more hidden in the Holy Mountain than just the nest of the Huiyao Sect!
Does a cult group formed by local indigenous people need such a high-tech alien base?
"That brain monster has been lurking on this planet for at least thousands of years." Vivian was also thinking about similar questions. "This underground base should have been built slowly by it, which shows that it at least has a certain amount of information on hand.
Industrial equipment.”
Hao Ren nodded silently and said nothing.
The situation has far exceeded his initial guess. At first, he thought that only a brain monster came to this planet by chance. He organized a group of local indigenous people to form a return sect, and all of this should have happened in the past few years.
.But now the facts can be said to be completely different from his speculation: the brain monster has been dormant in this world for thousands of years. It has built an astonishing underground base in this holy mountain, and the Returning Sect...
I'm afraid it's just an insignificant small group attached to this underground base.
"There is strong interference here," the voice from the data terminal awoke Hao Ren from his thoughts, "The source of interference is still deeper. But I don't know if it is the power of the base or something else."
Hao Ren replied casually: "Anyway, let's go and take a look. There are no more choices anyway."
Yzaks bent over and followed the team at the end. It was really hard for him to walk here. Elizabeth looked at it and couldn't stand it: "Dad, why didn't you shrink your body a little bit more?"
?”
Yzaks replied in a sullen voice: "Who told me that when I first transformed into a human form, I happened to meet a Quebis barbarian. I thought this was the standard human height...I can't change it now even if I want to.
Already."
Not long after the team advanced in this strange alloy pipe, they encountered the first fork in the road that Vivian had discovered. Lily pointed at the intersection and shouted: "Look over there!"
I saw several foul-smelling flesh and blood monsters lying dead in one of the pipes one after another. The black vests on their bodies burst open due to circuit overload. Their entire upper bodies were almost cooked, and around them could be seen
The traces left after the walls of the pipe were ablated by a strong electric arc. This is the masterpiece of the electromagnetic pulse bomb.
Hao Ren endured his nausea and stepped forward to open the black vest of one of the monsters. The thing had been broken into pieces, and the next piece fell off after a slight flip. Hao Ren found that this thing was made of layers of flexible plastic-like material.
It is composed of black crystals inlaid on the outer layer, and a large number of lines on the inner layer. When worn on one side of the body, you can also see many needle structures that shine with metallic cold light. If you guessed correctly, these needles should pierce the monster directly.
Inside the muscles: they are the source of power and the secret of control of these flesh and blood monsters.
"It is a combination of biology and machinery, and it looks like an industrial product, produced on an assembly line," the data terminal quickly judged, "It is not the same as the knight I saw at the banquet in the royal capital last time."
"The problem is where the materials for these monsters come from," Lily frowned and poked the arm of a suture monster with the power of fire. "It looks like they are pieced together with human organs, and many of the organs are still stitched together.
Signs of transformation... This would require a lot of corpses, right?"
Nangong Wuyue murmured cautiously: "Could it be those missing pagans?"
Hao Ren immediately felt something in his heart. He remembered that he had never met a return believer since he entered the mountain. He suddenly felt that this possibility could not be ignored: "This... is very possible!"
"It's unbelievable," Ofra frowned, "The evil devil turned all his followers into such monsters?"
"Human beings are not his followers at all," Hao Ren threw away the fragments of his vest, stood up and clapped his hands, "The brain monster and the eldest son have the same belief, they both have one belief, that is, all life should die, but the brain monster
It is relatively smart, it will just try to make the prey kill each other first."
Y'zaks stepped forward, waved his hand at a Stitch Monster, and saw a vague and translucent thing in his hand. The thing struggled violently in his palm until it dissipated, while Y'zaks shook his hand.
Shaking his head: "But these heretics were transformed into monsters consciously and voluntarily."
Everyone was silent for a while, and finally Ofra could only sigh: "Incomprehensible faith."
Ofra left two soldiers at the first fork in the road to pick up the following team, and then ordered to continue moving forward. Everyone avoided this pipeline that might lead to the "Flesh Monster Factory" and chose a place where there was little bloody smell.
Direction. As they went deeper, more lights appeared in the passage, which seemed to prove that they were heading in the right direction: they were approaching the deep area of this underground facility.
Just when the team reached another fork in the road, a sound of mechanical activity suddenly came from nearby.
Lily's hearing was extremely good, and she immediately turned her pointed ears toward the direction of the sound: "Over there!"
