Cui Zuojing made a few gestures, and finally failed to start, and said: "No, the knife is too thick, it is easy to cut the protective clothing, do you have anything thinner?"
Everyone searched around each other, but couldn't find anything useful. Cui Zuojing used to carry some blank paper with him, which was the most convenient small weapon for him. But he accompanied Dong Zheng into the box through the prisoner space. When he came in, there was nothing on his body except his clothes. Even the Tang Dao was brought in by Dong Zheng.
Cui Zuojing frowned and looked at it, and suddenly had an idea: "Queer, give me a hair."
Wang Que was stunned for a moment, then took off his helmet, untied the hair belt, and spread out his fingers to brush a broken hair out of his hair.
"I just took a shower before I came."
Cui Zuojing hummed: "It's okay."
The top of the broken hair was newly grown black, and the bottom half was dyed flaxen and slightly curled. Cui Zuojing folded it in half and twisted it into two strands, so that it would be a little tougher and would not break as soon as it was stressed.
Cui Zuojing tugged at the ends of his hair, found a good angle, stuck to the surface of the gloves of Allen's protective suit, and began to cut.
Everyone watched intently, not daring to make a sound, for fear that it would affect Cui Zuojing's performance. Dong Zheng thought about it, and in the center of the inner core, he lightly touched the leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana, trying to borrow some of his abilities to him as he did against Zhan Qizhi.
Ten seconds later, the boy's tense body suddenly relaxed. He patted Allen's hand, and the spider silk with the metal parts fell to the ground, with a thin layer of protective clothing fabric stuck to it.
The hair turned into powder, Cui Zuojing breathed a sigh of relief, and said a little tiredly: "It's alright."
This kind of delicate work has never been his specialty, which requires sufficient concentration while using the slayer's power to the extreme.
Very exhausting.
Allen was finally relieved, and hurriedly kept away from the spider silk on the ground, Cui Zuojing blew off the hair powder on his hands, put on the gloves again, and said: "I have thinned the sticky places, and the protective clothing is made of special materials. I don't know what the consequences will be after thinning, but it is definitely more likely to be damaged than other places, pay attention to it later, don't break it."
Allen complied.
Now in a way they are out of all the trouble, stop wasting time, and move on.
It is connected to the underground drainage system of the whole city. Perhaps it is surrounded by thick permafrost and ice caps. It is difficult for insects to get in and out. There are almost no insects in the sewers. It was extremely hard and turned into a gray-black ground.
For three thousand years, the environment with sparse plants and the storage in the ground have made the oxygen content in the drainage system so low that it is almost non-existent. Everyone is wearing their helmets firmly. There are still more than 60 hours before the end of the box, but the oxygen is only enough to support 44 hours. Oh, and I don't know when I can find supplies again. In order to save oxygen, almost no one spoke on the way.
The urban drainage system in 2472 was more complex and systematic than that of Dong Zheng and the others. The pipes were five or six meters wide, and there was no problem with sports cars inside.
The severe cold froze the pipeline and the surrounding land into one, and the ice cap with a thickness of dozens of meters also blocked the original entrance and exit.
At present, the most serious problem in front of everyone has become how to get out from here. In the information given by the terminal in the main control room of the base, there is the underground drainage system of the city. Because of "since there is information, why not remember it?" Dong Zheng and Lin Hangzhi spent some time researching the psychology of .
Dong Zheng: "We are now heading towards the city center."
Cui Zuojing: "As long as the direction is right, it's much safer down here, but I just don't know how to get out."
Lin Hangzhi: "The car must have a way to the front of the mountain. The box has been given a safe house. It is impossible to use it to trap us."
Cui Zuojing smiled and said, "It's hard to say."
Along the way, Cui Zuojing saw the corpses of many bugs. Most of them had just entered the ice age and hid in the drainage system. As the temperature gradually dropped, they were frozen to death inside. The corpses could not rot due to the low temperature. A peculiarly shaped "amber" is formed.
As the city gradually gets closer to the location, the drainage system becomes more complicated. Many upward pipes are connected to the reclaimed water pipes, and they have to walk for a few kilometers until Dong Zheng can confirm that the top of their heads is the former master of the city. urban area.
Dong Zheng: "Everyone, let's find out if there is a way out."
Wang Que saw the crowd scattered to find their own way, took a deep breath, and felt the Zerg's voice conveyed by Lingyinling with her heart.
There are almost no live insects in the drainage system, and Wang Que's mind has been quiet for a long time. She followed the direction of the pipeline all the way forward.
She walked farther and farther, and suddenly felt a faint touch.
She was shocked and jogged directly. The touch became clearer and clearer, as if those creatures that could sense her were in a very close place.
Dong Linhai saw Wang Que suddenly running away, he stretched out his hand to stop her, looked back at Cui Zuojing and the others who were still searching, and finally chased after him quickly.
Wang Que kept running for more than 300 meters, turned a corner, and then stopped slowly.
The ground was covered with ice and snow for many years, and it was very slippery. Dong Linhai followed carefully and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It should be possible to go out from here." Wang Que pointed to a vertical passage above his head. There is a vertical ladder on the wall of the shaft, which leads straight to the top cover.
Dong Linhai raised his head, and the searchlight on his helmet illuminated the situation above. At this time, Cui Zuojing's voice came from the earphone: "Where are you guys?"
Dong Linhai: "Queer said that she seems to have found a place to go out."
"I'm not sure, but the bugs are the loudest in this place, and it's very likely that there is only a very small amount of snow and ice on it," added Wangque.
After a while everyone came over, Dong Zheng said: "Then go up and have a look."
The shaft is about six meters long. Cui Zuojing tried to climb down the escalator. Maybe it was because of the water in the past. There was a thick layer of ice on the ladder. ."
Cui Zuojing climbed to the top of the vertical ladder, took out the Tang knife and poked it along the vertical slit of the drain cover. The reinforced Tang knife slowly sank into the ice layer, and inserted about forty to fifty centimeters. Loosely, the tip of the Tang Dao had already pierced through the ice.
"It's okay, it's quite thin." Cui Zuojing threw the knife to Dong Zheng below and stretched out his hand to Dong Linhai, "Give me the flamethrower, I'll melt the ice."
Dong Linhai handed the flamethrower to Cui Zuojing. Cui Zuojing found a good posture and adjusted the temperature of the injector to the lowest level. While melting the drainage and covering the ice, he had to ensure that the residual temperature would not melt and fix. The ice on the vertical ladder, otherwise, even if the passage is successfully opened, they will not be able to go up.
As the flames spewed out, the scorched ice cap made a stinging sound, quickly melted into water, and rained down on everyone below.
After melting through the layer of ice that sealed the drain cover, Cui Zuojing broke off the extremely fragile drain cover after being quenched by cold and heat. ice formation.
Faint light penetrates.
You're done.
Cui Zuojing breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the melted water on the mask, and climbed out first.
The protective clothing gloves pressed on the ground, and immediately made a group of bugs who had gathered here to crawl away in panic.
Yu Wen made the vertical ladder a little loose. Alan, the heaviest, barely managed to climb up with the help of Dong Zheng. The moment he just stood on the ground, he didn't pay attention and stepped on one right under his feet. Bugs, a pool of dark green slime stuck to the soles.
Cui Zuojing looked around for a week. This should be a warehouse inside a building. A small gap was broken in the corner of the roof, causing a small amount of wind and snow to drift into it, which accumulated over time into a relatively thin layer of ice.
There are many containers in the warehouse, and it is estimated that there is either nothing in it, or some hoarding of survival materials that humans need after the end of the Ice Age.
Cui Zuojing didn't open the container to see - there's really no need to work hard.
There were many small insects in the corners of different shapes. They were disturbed by everyone and moved to hide in the secret place. The metal door of the warehouse was firmly closed. Dong Linhai sprayed it with a flamethrower. Kick off.
As he walked out of the warehouse, the corridor windows were so thick with ice that he couldn't see anything.
Dong Zheng also came out and said, "This should be a building."
They turned around, came out of the corridor, and entered the supermarket. The shelves were empty. After the humans who had obtained the qualifications to immigrate to the alien galaxy left, knowing that the end was coming, even if they entered the dormant cabin, they would most likely not be able to. Some people who woke up after the end of the Ice Age were unwilling to die like this. In just a few days, the order of the entire society began to collapse.
They did many things that social morality never dared to do, celebrating the last revelry before the end.
Lin Hangzhi, who followed up, couldn't help but sighed, "I really don't leave us any supplies. Is this really a Samsung box?"
These days, the boxes they have entered are all three to four stars, and they have a general grasp of the difficulty. Dong Zheng frowned slightly and shook his head: "It doesn't look like it."
"It's no use worrying about this now, let's think about how to clear the customs." Cui Zuojing poked Dong Zheng and asked, "How much time is left?"
Dong Zheng glanced at the upper left corner: "60 hours, we should be in the city center now, and we are still halfway there. Let's take a break now."
Dong Linhai and Alan went to search for the remaining goods together. Dong Zheng and Cui Zuojing took Wang Que to the door of the supermarket.
Cui Zuojing picked up the vending machine beside him and smashed open the brittle glass door in three or two strokes.
So the outside world was revealed to them.
The wind and snow had stopped, and the sun had sunk below the horizon, but it wasn't the extreme darkness in front of him. The little lights emanated from the tail of the bug, and on the walls and ground of the building, they formed a huge piece, illuminating the light. Huge bubble-like creatures and waving tentacles suspended in the air, aliens clinging to the wreckage of high-rise buildings, and hundred-meter-long insects crawling on the snow.
This once human city has become a world of zerg.
