The first thousand three hundred and twenty chapters
Hearing this, Vincent quickly said: "The research on gnawers has begun since the discovery of this sinkhole. Several years have passed. I don't know how many secrets have been harvested from these gnashers, but there are
One thing I can be sure of is that these gnashers did not appear suddenly. I personally prefer that they have already existed on Blue Star, even earlier than the appearance of humans!"
"I have the same idea as you."
Hearing Vincent's speculation, Lin Cheng nodded and said: "Although I still haven't figured out why these monsters appeared at the same time at a certain time and even turned this Blue Star into a slaughterhouse, but from now on
Judging from some of the information I have obtained before, these monsters do not appear suddenly at all, but rather like a group of ancient beings that have been sleeping deep underground for a long time and suddenly woke up collectively for some reason..."
"You are indeed no ordinary person!"
Hearing this, Vincent's eyes suddenly widened and he asked in surprise: "Your speculation reminds me of a biological expert from China who has won numerous academic awards. He has studied gnawing.
The author also said the same thing as you after his corpse, and it was because of his words that I became very interested in these monsters..."
Hearing this, Lin Cheng's heart moved and he asked: "Oh? What's the name of that expert?"
After frowning and recalling carefully for a while, Vincent said uncertainly: "Xu... Xu He, should be called this name... You Chinese people's names are not easy to pronounce, if it weren't for this Xu He
Professor He is so senior and has had such a profound influence on me that I probably have long forgotten it.”
"Xu He? I don't know him."
Hearing the unfamiliar name Xu He, Lin Cheng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. When he heard Vincent mention the senior biologist from China, he originally thought he was talking about Fang Xiucheng, but now it seemed that he was overthinking it.
In fact, if you think about it, although the old man Fang Xiucheng has a very stubborn temper, he has never spoken big words. He had already said when he was in Yunyang City that although he had been to the Doomsday Tiankeng, he was not allowed to do so because of the accident that had just occurred here.
Entering it, it is naturally impossible to see the corpse of the gnawer in the pit, and it is impossible to make the inference that has a profound impact on Vincent.
However, it was not that he learned nothing. He was not very confident in the inferences he just made. Although he should be regarded as the human being who has entered the most underground caves in the world, and what he saw and heard can be said to be unique in the world, but after all, he
He is not a professional, and many inferences are just based on the situation at that time. Now that Vincent said that big names in the biological world also think that these monsters may be ancient creatures, he was naturally relieved. At least this sentence proved that
His general direction was not wrong.
While the two were talking, Bai Ling had already taken a general look at the situation nearby. As she expected, apart from the ubiquitous gravel and debris at the bottom of the sinkhole, there was only snow on the ground.
As well as various abandoned large-scale machines, there was no trace of runes or gnawers. Obviously, the team's current location was far away from the core area.
Seeing Bai Ling making a temporary safety gesture toward him, Lin Cheng nodded and was about to speak when Vincent said to everyone before him: "From now on, we must be extremely careful. Even before the end of the world comes, here is
It is not something that ordinary people can easily set foot on, not only because there are many secrets hidden here, but also because several gnawers may jump out and attack humans at any time! Countless soldiers and scholars have died in what appears to be a film.
There is no dangerous zone, and I know you are very strong, but considering that we are the first team to set foot here again after the end of the world, I still hope that everyone will be more alert!"
"Fine."
Hearing Vincent's sincere persuasion, Lin Cheng shrugged and did not intend to refute him. Anyway, they were here now. No matter how big the trouble was, they would not be able to back down. Vincent could
It would be a good thing for him to give the two girls a preventive shot in advance. At least it would save him a lot of saliva.
"Come with me."
Seeing that everyone had cheered up, Vincent gritted his teeth, then no longer hesitated, turned around and waved to everyone, gesturing for everyone to follow him.
After groping for more than ten minutes at the bottom of the dark pit, Lin Cheng discovered that the temperature here seemed to be higher than the surface above. In addition, the wind had also become much lighter. It was far more comfortable to stay here than above.
.
Suddenly, just when Lin Cheng thought he was going to continue walking, Vincent at the front suddenly stopped, and then he was seen quickly pulling up on a pile of snow that was more protruding than the surrounding snow.
"kindness?"
As the snow was being pushed away by Vincent, Lin Cheng, who had been standing on the side observing, suddenly narrowed his eyes!
It turned out that after Vincent peeled away this slightly protruding snowdrift, what was revealed turned out to be a steel round door that seemed to be about one meter in diameter. This round door was just built on the ground. If it weren't for the
There was a round handle, and Lin Cheng thought it was a manhole cover.
"You are strong, come and see if you can open this door."
After pulling out the round door, Vincent let out a long breath, stood up, lit a cigarette for himself, and said to Lin Cheng while smoking.
Hearing this, Lin Cheng couldn't help but feel speechless for a while, looked at him and said: "No... shouldn't you explain to me what this thing is all about first?"
Hearing Lin Cheng's inquiry, Vincent replied with some confusion: "Well? This...is there anything that needs to be explained? Isn't it just a door built on the ground?"
As he said that, he saw Lin Cheng's expression suddenly changed. After a change of thought, he realized what the other party meant, so he quickly explained: "No... didn't I just say that reaching the bottom of the pit is just the beginning?
The real secret of the Doomsday Tiankeng is deeper, and if you want to go deeper, of course you need a passage. Under this round door is an artificially dug passage leading to the depths of the pit. Of course, like this passage
There are several other places, but they have all been sealed just to prevent the nibblers from crawling out along the passage. Only this one is left for everyone to enter and exit..."
After listening to Vincent's explanation, Lin Cheng couldn't help but frown and asked: "Are you saying that when you discovered this apocalyptic sinkhole, those nibblers had already started to appear frequently?"
"of course not!"
Hearing this, Vincent quickly waved his hand, "This place was very safe at the beginning. Everyone entered it frequently through those passages, and no one encountered danger! It should be at the end of the world that the living gnawers began to appear.
About a year ago, before that, everyone only encountered scattered corpses of gnawers. Later, after live gnawers began to appear, most of the passages were blocked to avoid more accidents.
, in the end, we were still unable to trap these monsters underground..."
