After the four giant rats got into the hole, the leading giant rat seemed to nod with satisfaction. Then he "squeaked" again and led the remaining four giant rats deeper into the passage.
Run away.
Looking at the familiar scene in front of him, Lin Cheng thought for a moment, then saw his expression change, and secretly exclaimed: "Is this... a shift change?!"
That's right, these giant rats were not 'quarreling' from the beginning, but were just handing over some issues. This series of processes is very similar to the security handover work in human society. The largest giant rat should be
'Security Captain', and the four giant rats that got into the hole in the cave wall returned to the 'Security Booth' after the handover was completed!
"It's really incredible..."
After thinking about this, Lin Cheng's eyes were filled with shock. He had seen a lot of intelligent creatures. At least the intelligence shown by Coke was no worse than that of ordinary humans, but the various behaviors displayed by these giant rats were...
Let him fully understand that these numerous giant rats have not only awakened wisdom, but have even developed their own 'rules'!
This is already a qualitative change. The giant rats who know how to abide by the rules have formed a huge and extremely cohesive force. This kind of force is not even here, even if it is thrown into the most sinking first-tier cities such as Yanjing.
, they are definitely a super powerful force!
After hesitating for a few seconds with his eyes squinted, Lin Cheng's eyes were fixed and he decided not to think about it any more.
Although he hasn't had too much contact with them, the various behaviors of these giant rats have made him feel uneasy. This uneasiness makes him want to retreat. After all, compared with his life, upgrading the capsule system is not a big deal.
Too anxious.
But he still didn't want to give up. In addition to being shocked by the performance of these giant rats, he was also puzzled. It was not uncommon for animals to have their own group consciousness, but the behavior of these giant rats was
It was no longer something that could be explained by simple group consciousness. He guessed that these giant rats must have been inspired by something to be so defiant, and this inspiration made Lin Cheng subconsciously think of the mysterious pattern that had troubled him for a long time!
He didn't know why he subconsciously associated these giant rats with the mysterious pattern, but once this thought appeared, he had an uncontrollable desire to find out. Coupled with the urgency of upgrading the capsule system,
He is a ghost if he is willing to give up halfway!
Slowing down his breathing, Lin Cheng glanced at the openings on both sides of the cave wall, raised his ears and listened to the movement deep in the passage. He was sure that the 'security captain' had gone far at this time, so with a thought, he saw two
The ice veins spread rapidly along the cave wall towards the two cave entrances. In the blink of an eye, the four giant rats nesting in the cave didn't even have a chance to struggle. They were instantly frozen by the cold air condensed by the ice veins.
Zombies!
"Follow up!"
After casually getting rid of the four 'security rats', Lin Cheng waved to Peter and Bai Ling who were hiding not far behind and stared at him, gesturing for them to follow. He then tentatively walked around the corner and continued walking deeper into the passage.
After walking for a while and confirming that there was no danger here, I relaxed and walked faster and faster.
"Don't be impatient. What happened just now and you haven't said anything yet?"
Seeing Lin Cheng walking faster and faster and even starting to run, Peter became more and more confused and couldn't help but catch up to him and ask him.
"What can happen? It's just a few giant rats taking over security work..."
Curling his lips, Lin Cheng explained a few words to him casually. Then, ignoring the shocked Peter, he walked forward for more than ten meters and suddenly stopped!
"what happened again?"
Before the 'security rat' could recover from the shock, he saw that Lin Cheng, who had been rushing along just now, suddenly stopped. Peter quickly followed him and asked, but as soon as he finished asking, his eyes suddenly widened.
Got it!
It turned out that as they descended deeper and deeper along the passage, they finally reached the bottom. However, the true appearance of this giant rat's lair that had always made them extremely fearful made them confused and confused for a moment.
I know how to describe my mood at this time!
Looking around, they could see a flat concrete floor extending from their feet to the distance. Although this concrete floor had already been covered with thick moss, anyone could tell at a glance that this was definitely done by humans!
The ceiling above the head is a curved cement wall. This cement wall extends from the ceiling to the four walls. It looks like it is made in one go. Although the workmanship is a bit rough, the materials used are extremely solid.
The wide hall of the 'Tian Yuan Di Di' looks very empty, with a few rotten fitness equipment randomly discarded in the corner. There are no graphics or text on the walls, as if this hall made of cement from top to bottom is just
It is generally used to hold air and does not have any markings to indicate its specific function.
"Did we accidentally break into an underground base?"
Lin Cheng glanced back and forth in the empty hall with a flashlight several times. Finding nothing, Lin Cheng couldn't help but frown and muttered that the appearance of this hall was too sudden and too strange. They clearly came down the passage from the giant rat's lair.
Yes, but after coming down and entering such a hall that was obviously built by humans, anyone would be confused.
"Underground base..."
Hearing Lin Cheng's guess, Peter also frowned and muttered: "As far as I know, Kalk City was a very prosperous industrial and mining city before it was abandoned. Cities of this type have one thing in common, and that is the lifeblood of the city.
It is completely controlled by the amount of ore reserves! Before being abandoned, Kalk City transported nearly 10% of the country's various ores to various places every year. This kind of glory can be said to be unprecedented in the history of Eros.
! And as time goes by and the ore reserves are deteriorating, it is not impossible for the people in power in this city to desperately save this industrial and mining city that is destined to fall, and to dig underground in the city..."
"So there is such a thing? No wonder!"
After hearing Peter's explanation and analysis, Lin Cheng suddenly realized that places like underground bases were not too unfamiliar to him who grew up in China. However, most of China's underground bases were strategically laid out, so he always
At first, he took it for granted that this place might be an abandoned underground fortress. Now after hearing what Peter said, he realized that his ancestors in Kalk City started out by mining, and having an underground ore base didn't count at all.
A matter.
But after Peter reluctantly explained the reason for the existence of this hall, he couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "Tsk... Even though I said that, I have lived here for twenty years.
Why have I never heard of any underground ore base in Kalk City before? And in the past twenty years, I have been searching in this empty city, but I have never seen the entrance to any underground ore base.
