Compared with the first floor, the number of bugs on the second floor did not increase significantly, but each of them was much larger. The giant cockroaches they encountered when they just got off the elevator and they encountered three or four more. Fortunately, under the deterrence of flames , These insects, who have become accustomed to the low temperature environment and have a very weak tolerance to high temperature, hesitated for a while, and then began to flee.
Dong Linhai threw away the empty fuel tank and replaced it with a new one. With this one on the flamethrower, they only had two bottles of fuel left.
Use sparingly, it should suffice.
All the way to find the location of the direct elevator, Dong Zheng was not surprised to find that the entire elevator shaft was empty, the door was wide open, revealing the biological tissue that was slowly rising and falling - the bulge to the almost transparent abdomen, you can vaguely see countless crowds eggs together.
A giant female worm like a weta has transformed the elevator shaft into a nest. The dark green slime stands on the wall of the well, with countless eggs that are hatching attached to it, some of which are broken and white. The larvae emerge from it, covered in mucus.
Dong Zheng stopped ten meters from the elevator shaft.
He made a retreat gesture, and the group slowly retreated step by step.
Wang Que began to retching silently, and the thoughts of the female worm entered her mind precisely. At this moment, she felt as if she had turned into that ugly worm, and had kind and joyful love for those eggs and larvae meaning.
She took a deep breath and tried not to pay attention to those feelings, but it was simply not something she could accurately control. Finally, Wang Que couldn't hold back and vomited.
Dong Linhai raised his hand and patted her on the back lightly. The few people stepped back and away from each other. Just as they were about to turn around, the huge body climbed down the elevator shaft with difficulty, a worm-shaped triangle. On their huge heads, hundreds of big and small eyes stared straight at them.
Dong Zheng saw that the situation was not good, and shouted: "Go!"
They ran away, the two wings of the female worm rubbed against each other and made a sharp sound. In an instant, countless black male worms flew out of the elevator shaft, like a black torrent, rushing towards everyone!
Dong Zheng and Cui Zuojing, who had been leading the way at the front, suddenly became the last. Dong Zheng shot while running, and shot down the first ones. There were too many bugs. He didn't need to aim at all. can hit the target.
Compared with traditional bullets, the laser gun can cause higher and larger damage to the insects. It will shoot down the male insects, which are small compared to the female insects, layer by layer. While struggling, many took off again crookedly, chasing after the crowd.
"Where to go!" Lin Hangzhi became the first one, and everyone remembered the structure of the base, but obviously, there was no precision between Wang Que and Dong Zheng, and Lin Hangzhi was afraid of using his own bad luck Fortunately, I can bring everyone into the ditch.
"Turn right ahead!" After confirming the general distribution of the Zerg in front of him, Wang Que, who followed behind him, showed him the way.
The figure of Lin Hangzhi in front disappeared in the corner on the right. The next second, the man screamed and quickly turned back: "There are insects over there!"
"There are more bugs in other places!" Wang Que ran past him, Lin Hangzhi hurriedly went back after hearing the words, and rushed to the front, no matter how much he persuaded him, he couldn't let Wang Que, a little girl, take the lead.
A centipede more than 20 meters long squatted on the road ahead, felt the vibrations in the corridor, lifted up its hundred-legged upper body, and the two tentacles at the top of its head lashed towards them like whips. He pointed the laser gun at the centipede's head, shouted "Die!", and pulled the trigger.
The laser hit the centipede's head, the black juice spurted out, and fell to the ground, melting the metal floor to the point of squeaking white smoke. Lin Hangzhi fired a few more shots while the iron was hot, shouting, "The centipede is poisonous! Be careful not to touch it. to its juice!"
They quickly ran past the centipede. Cui Zuojing looked back and saw that the laser-burned hole in the long worm's head healed quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The angry centipede waved hundreds of feet, just now. When he wanted to chase, he was almost turned over by the following male wetas.
This time, the object of its anger quickly shifted, and the centipede opened its guillotine-like mouthparts, pinched a weta, and directly cut the basketball-sized bug into two pieces!
There was chaos behind them. The original pursuit of the team turned into a battle between centipedes and wetas. No one cared about the outcome. Under the leadership of Wang Que, they chose the route with the fewest bugs and reached the stairwell.
The door of the stairwell was blocked by something, and after violently breaking it open, a large group of insects flew out, all of which were burned to carbon by the flamethrower.
The dark purple fungi crowd the stairwell, and the bugs live on it. The anaerobic respiration of the fungi generates heat, produces some toxic gases, and also makes the temperature in the stairwell extremely warm, which is the most suitable breeding ground for breeding.
This can't help but remind Dong Zheng of the secret hospital realm of the Labyrinth of Time. Those mutant plants also want to grow savagely. He and Allen both have an infusion stand and stumble up to find Wen Baoshan, who is trapped in the hospital bed.
But now, the red-haired youth has left.
Creep covered the stairs, leaving people with nowhere to go.
"Evil..." Lin Hai's whole face was wrinkled, "It's disgusting, do you really want to pass here?"
Cui Zuojing: "Or you want to meet that sand lily and her children again."
"... Then forget it." Dong Linhai sighed and asked, "After this thing burns, it won't have any negative effects, right?"
"I'm not sure how toxic the fungi are. These mutant bugs can endure it, so it's not necessarily safe for us." Lin Hangzhi sighed, "But other than burning it, what else can be done?"
"I hope the protective clothing is powerful enough." Dong Linhai murmured softly, and before resignedly pulling the trigger of the flamethrower, he shouted, "Everyone, be careful, I'm about to start!"
A fiery red dragon spewed out from the mouth of the pipe, a white flame unique to high temperature, which burned the mushroom creep and insects with a crackling sound, and the sap that flowed was evaporated to dryness in an instant, and the others followed closely and quickly behind him. Cui Zuojing heard an alarm from Didi - it was an alarm from the sensor of the protective suit, indicating that the toxic gas around him had exceeded the limit.
They walked fast to avoid the insects rushing up after cooling down. In less than two minutes, they had already descended to the third underground floor. When Dong Linhai looked at it, he found that the stairs leading to the fourth floor had been submerged in dark green water.
Cui Zuojing dipped gently with a knife, the water was a little thick, and bubbles appeared when stirred, apparently there were some unknown creatures in it.
Lin Hangzhi: "Water? Why is there so much standing water?"
Cui Zuojing: "Where is the pipe leak? Then the door to the fourth floor must be opened with a lot of authority. If it is closed, it will naturally accumulate."
"Sure enough." Dong Zheng didn't feel too surprised. He took a deep breath and prepared to meet the alien giant insect. He simply ordered, "Go to the third floor, there is a staircase in the northeast corner."
Wang Que quickly planned a route in his mind, and said worriedly: "But then we will cross the third floor, there are a lot of insects here."
Dong Zheng: "Obviously, the box wants us to do this, let's go, Queer pay attention to the situation at any time, and try to choose the safest way."
Wang Que nodded vigorously.
Stepping into the third floor, everyone tense their nerves, Wang Que stood there for a while and silently sensed, pointing in one direction: "This way."
Until now, they still haven't found an ID card with sufficient authority, and the card obtained on the third floor is simply not enough to guarantee their unobstructed access on the most important four floors.
For this reason, Cui Zuojing broke open the doors room by room, wasting a lot of energy.
Dong Linhai had an idea: "By the way, can Brother Fu's key be used? Since his key has the function of 005, wouldn't it be easy to open this door?"
Cui Zuojing shook his head: "It's best not to use Fu Zhe's things in the box. An ability like his that can directly reduce the difficulty of the plot will be discovered by Kether once used."
Lin Hangzhi: "K... what?"
"I'll tell you more carefully when I go out." Cui Zuojing thumped the drum for a while, then kicked the door open, sweating from exhaustion, and said, "And this door doesn't have a keyhole, how can I open the key? "
Dong Linhai: "...Yes."
Cui Zuojing is too tired, and unlocking has never been his specialty. During the afternoon tea party, he always liked to use a knife to solve problems, so this time the unlocking was also simple and rude.
Fortunately, in this room seems to be a researcher's dormitory, Dong Zheng successfully got an ID card in the drawer, now, the trouble to enter the total control is only what they will encounter along the way, those Mutant creatures.
Standing at the door of the bedroom, Lin Hangzhi always felt that something was watching him in the depths of the darkness. He hesitated a little and took two tentative steps toward the front of the corridor.
Suddenly he stumbled abruptly, tripping over something.
Wang Que suddenly said: "Something is coming, let's go!"
Dong Linhai, who was rummaging for other clues, heard the words, rushed out of the room with the others, turned the corner under the leadership of Wang Que, and hid for the time being.
A nearly two-meter-high spider quickly climbed over from the ceiling and went straight into the room where they were just now. The spider's hairy body was covered with many white spots, like eyes, observing coldly. around.
Three minutes later, the spider that found nothing came out of the bedroom, spit out a string of translucent spider silk at the door again, and crawled into the darkness.
It was only at this moment that Lin Hangzhi realized that the thing that tripped him just now was a spider silk.
The road behind... won't be all full of "traps" like this!
He whispered his concerns, Wang Que was silent for a moment, and said: "The bugs here are very conscious, unlike the ones on the third floor that I can barely control for a while with all my strength, they may in turn affect me, and here It is the nest where they have lived for an unknown number of years, and there must be many dangers, everyone must be careful, all I can do is to find a more suitable way."
"Enough is enough." Cui Zuojing replaced the magazine of the laser gun with a new one and said, "If you have done everything, let us do something, right?"
