Dong Zheng galloped all the way in the direction of the hut. He drove too hard. The chassis of the suspension car made a loud noise and shook violently. It seemed that he hit a stone, but Dong Zheng didn't care. They had already prepared to abandon the car and run away at any time. Prepare.
The figure of the hut finally appeared in sight. Dong Zheng suddenly stopped the car when he drifted and threw everyone on the wall of the car.
"Let's go!" He slammed the car door, pushed the console and rushed from the cab into the snow outside. Cui Zuojing was dizzy by his tail flick, shook his head and jumped off the roof of the car. He ran in front of everyone, walked several meters with difficulty in the waist-deep snow, and kicked open the door of the hut.
The door to the safe house, which appeared in the box at an unknown time, was half-buried, and the moment the door opened, the snow poured in and rolled the teenager inside.
Dong Zheng then rushed in, followed by Allen, Dong Linhai pulled Wang Que, Lin Hangzhi came in last, and together with Dong Zheng tried their best to push the door back up again, regardless of whether it was useful or not, he inserted the latch, and his back was tight. right on top.
In the communication channel for a while, there were only people breathing violently one after another. Wang Que leaned against the wall and watched in horror as a layer of black bugs slammed into the window, instantly obscuring all the light that came in from outside.
The swarms of insects that followed the hovering car came one after another, crawling along the wall and covering the entire house, and those flying insects slammed into the windows and the companions, covering them one by one, engulfing them into a black mass. .
The cabin became pitch black.
The crackling sound of the insect exoskeleton colliding was still sounding one after another, and the cockroach was about to go crazy. The will of the insect swarm surrounded her. Because the number was too large, she could not control it at all.
No matter how much she endured the nausea and gave the order to leave quickly, countless bugs still gathered here.
They turned on the lights on their protective suits, and the staggered light illuminated everything in the hut. Lin Hangzhi guessed it well, it was indeed a safe house.
The square house had one door and one window open, and the door was fastened by them from the inside. Considering the characteristics of the safe house, the insects outside should not be able to enter for a while. The windows were completely covered by insects, and the abdomens of countless small black beetles and their densely knotted feet could be clearly seen from the inside.
Other than that, there is nothing in the house.
Allen sat on the ground and took off his helmet to wipe the cold sweat from his face.
After discovering that the spider silk was sticking to him, Allen was extremely nervous. This was a box that could kill him anytime, anywhere. Any accident would definitely lead to a series of chain reactions.
Fortunately, with the help of his companions, he managed to break free.
The protective clothing is maintained at a suitable 20 degrees, and the helmet is suddenly taken off, and the sweat beads are all signs of freezing.
Cui Zuojing walked around the room, and roughly determined that there was only one exit from the door, and said, "So what? How do we get out?"
Dong Zheng pinched his brows wearily, and sat on the ground against the wall. Then he thought that there were many insects separated by a wall, and moved to the center of the room: "I don't know."
Seeing this, Cui Zuojing also sat down: "Okay, let's rest for a while, just think of a way now."
He was silent for a moment, recalling all the thrilling things just now, he couldn't help but wonder: "Can't the bioradar on the car detect such a big spider?"
Dong Zheng shook his head: "The radar didn't show any traces of creatures, otherwise we wouldn't have hit the spider web directly."
Lin Hangzhi: "They have lived in a low temperature environment for a long time, and their body temperature has already evolved to be similar to the surrounding environment. Of course, the traditional bio-radar manufactured by heat source induction will not work."
Allen's gloves were still stuck with spider silk and a small part of the front of the car, and he didn't dare to touch it now, for fear that the spider silk would stick his other hand or other places.
Dong Linhai Lin Hangzhi was helping him figure out how to get rid of the spider silk, Linhai frowned and said, "For such a big spider, even if the food chain is supported by those photosynthetic swarms, it will take countless numbers to grow to that size. Clear food and quite a while."
"In such a harsh environment, there are still such top predators, and they must have evolved a very complete food chain." Lin Hangzhi, "Spiders like to use venom to turn food bones into juice and then suck it. It is destined to not be able to feed on the bottom phytoplankton and krill like the whales in the sea. The more complex the food chain and the more creatures passing in the middle, the lower the energy conversion efficiency. It seems that the age of the spider is probably It's beyond our imagination."
Dong Zheng: "Even if the food chain is perfect, it is impossible to grow such a large creature. I personally tend to have some more important factors, such as... our destination, the Institute of Biochemistry."
Allen: "You mean that after humans fell asleep, the chemicals in the Biochemical Research Institute leaked, causing these bugs to mutate?"
Lin Hangzhi nodded and smiled bitterly: "This is the most likely situation, even if the worm's vitality is very tenacious, it is impossible for so many to survive in the Ice Age, and the box will definitely cause us some trouble, if It's biochemical pollution, and there will be trouble in the future."
"It's really an advanced version of Resident Evil." Dong Linhai sighed, "No wonder they were given so many weapons."
"Okay guys, don't talk about those that have or don't." Cui Zuojing reminded, "Even if it is a safe room, it cannot guarantee absolute safety for a long time. You all know this."
When everyone heard the words, they stopped discussing the settings of the box, and stood up one after another to find other channels to get out.
The hut was not big, and it was quickly turned over and found nothing special.
"No, the search is definitely not careful enough. Since a safe house is set up, it is impossible for the box to trap us in it." Cui Zuojing frowned and said, "Let's search again."
The six people almost searched the small house upside down. Finally, Dong Linhai found a finger-sized hole in the corner of the wall.
"Come on, is this an agency?"
The crowd gathered around, Dong Zheng put his fingers in and probed, feeling that there seemed to be a cavity underneath.
Just when Dong Zheng was about to find something to expand the hole, Cui Zuojing took out his dagger: "I'm coming."
He expanded the hole to the size of a palm in three or two strokes, and simply and rudely ripped open the floor and took it away, saving the steps of cracking the mechanism.
It can be clearly seen that under the floor, there is also a layer of complex mechanical structure.
Cui Zuojing knocked, listening to the sound and confirming that there was a cavity below, stood up: "Okay, that's it, get ready to go."
Allen couldn't help sighing: "Cui Er, your ability is easy to use, and it directly saves a lot of effort."
Cui Zuojing shrugged: "It's not as easy to use as I imagined, otherwise, there's nothing you can do about the spider silk in your hand."
The bugs outside had stopped making noises, but they were still densely lying on the house. Dong Zheng studied it. He stared at the gears and figured out the possible consequences of touching each mechanism. Listed the situation of each sorting, simulated hundreds of times, and finally successfully solved the mechanism in one of the schemes.
Dong Zheng followed the sequence of the simulation in his brain. After a series of operations, with the dull sound of the machine, a secret door slowly opened on the floor.
In the eyes of others, it was Dong Zheng frowning and thinking for a while, and then he unlocked the mechanism in two or three times. Dong Linhai let out a hiss and sighed sincerely, "Brother, you can use this ability well."
"Envy?" Dong Zheng endured the headache and nausea, and said, "You spend more time on ability training, and it will be very useful."
As the only person who knew Dong Zheng's true mental state, Cui Zuojing didn't say much. In this world, where are the geniuses and the most useful abilities? , can be displayed in an astonishing manner.
The suffering that has been experienced in this is only known by the parties themselves.
The gluttonous beast's claws were lost while avoiding the Leviathan in the underground cave and could not be brought out of Dusk Island, so Dong Zheng lost such an artifact that could cure headaches and was quite suitable for him.
He lay in bed every night before going to bed to train his newly acquired abilities, and didn't stop until he had an unbearable headache, in which case he could almost close his eyes and then fall asleep without delay.
This is hard because the blood contract is related to Cui Zuojing. Dong Zheng's mental condition is not good, and he is also exhausted. He can't do anything, so he can only rest along with Dong Zheng's work and rest.
However, Cui Zuojing was very happy to see the people he selected work so hard.
Under the secret door is a vertical ladder, made of metal, which has been frozen for so long at low temperatures, it has long been as brittle as a branch. Dong Linhai, who was in charge of exploring the road, was well prepared and stepped on it leisurely. Just after transferring some of his weight to that foot, the ladder snapped and broke.
Seeing that the height is only three or four meters below, Dong Linhai jumped directly, with protective clothing for buffering, but did not shock his body.
Allen came down immediately. He has been trying to figure out how to get rid of the spider silk sticking to his hand. It is too inconvenient to carry this thing. If he accidentally touches something, he will stick it directly on it. , can't walk away.
"Why don't I cut the glove off?" Allen thought for a while and asked Cui Zuojing, "Cui Er, can you only cut the layer of fiber it sticks to?"
"It's too hard for me to mention this condition. If you can do it safely, I'll get it for you sooner." Cui Zuojing sighed, "The main reason is that there are no tools now, so you have to find me a blade. , I can do it, but with a dagger, it's a bit difficult."
Allen: "It's okay, you can do it. It's better to take a risk and try it than to carry this thing all the time."
"That's okay." Cui Zuojing also felt that it was extremely inconvenient for Allen to do this. Originally, Allen's ability determined that he would take agility as an advantage. He took out the dagger and gestured twice to find a feeling, and said, "Quieer stand here and give it to him. I'll make up the lighting."
Wang Que hurriedly stood at the place Cui Zuojing said. She was always paying attention to the news that Ling Yinling conveyed to her. She hoped that if there were any bugs hiding around this time, she could find it as soon as possible.
Cui Zuojing took a deep breath. In order to ensure the accuracy of his movements, he took off his gloves, and with bare hands in the underground pipe of minus ten degrees, he held a finger of Allen's gloves, held his breath, and began to cut.
