The damage to the lower base was much more serious than that of the upper one.
Coming out of the assembly room, along the base corridor towards the destination, we could see traces of destruction from time to time. In some places, the ceilings were blown away, the alloy floor of the upper base had sunk, and countless cables were scattered from the armored faults.
They were tangled together, blocking the road like a tangled mess. Usually, such severely damaged sections of the road were impassable, and the Yunlong team either had to take a detour or use cutting tools to directly open a new passage on the wall next to it.
From time to time, corpses could be seen on the road, with only bones left and covered in dust. When people passed by with a little movement, the airflow would stir up the dust, forming choking smoke.
No one wanted to breathe in the dust from the corpses, so most people held their breath.
The deep passage seems to have no end, and the armored walls are covered with mottled marks. Occasionally, an irregular dark patch can be found, some of which are in the shape of a human, which makes the viewer imagine a lot.
Fortunately, every intersection in this lower base has arrows and signs. At least, people who can understand most of the reverse world's text will not get lost.
Tianyang was one of them, and Yunze could definitely understand it, because every time he came to a fork in the road, he would always look at the sign and point out the correct direction.
In this way, if Yunze read the base diary given to him before handing it in, he would know a lot of things.
"It's just ahead."
Liu Chen suddenly spoke in the team. The team had arrived at a transfer platform. There was not much dust on the rusty ground. It was obvious that there were frequent biological activities here.
On the left side, a body is hung on a hydraulic machine of unknown purpose. It is a former staff member of the Beidou base. It seems that he had experienced a tragic battle before his death, because the body hanging on the machine only has the upper body.
It seems that the monsters from the tomb back then should have penetrated deep into this base. I wonder if Zi Chen will be taken away by them.
Liu Chen came to an armored door on the south side of the platform. The armored door was only opened a crack, and there was a manual switch next to it. But now, this switch was useless and could not play any role.
Of course, this is not a problem for the Sublimator, and even ordinary people know how to operate the beam cutter in the team. It just takes a little time at most.
Standing at the door, Tianyang could already smell a foul odor, similar to the one he smelled in the rat's nest last time.
He turned around and said, "Master Ze, I'll go explore the way."
Yunze nodded: "Be careful, don't push yourself too much. If there are too many illegal immigrants, wait until we arrive to deal with them."
"clear."
Tianyang answered briefly, took out the storage box, and threw it into the crack of the door. Then he leaned sideways and crawled through the crack of the door.
He picked up the storage box again, took out the Predator, and carried the Deathstroke. The fully armed boy went deep into the rat's nest.
Although he could use the black fog to find out the situation around him, in order to avoid arousing suspicion, Tianyang still threw a fluorescent stick every few steps.
In the cold light, cable bases are laid on both sides, and in the middle is a cloud-patterned steel plate ground extending forward.
Suddenly, not far away, something shrank back at the corner. Tianyang didn't rush to see what was going on. He communicated with the black fog, and the feeling of gratitude extended. A plague rat hiding behind the corner appeared in the model constructed by the black fog.
It was unknown what that thing was chewing on. Tianyang did not deliberately magnify the details. It was enough to know that it had its back to him.
This may be the guard of the rat's nest,
But even if he was a guard, he was a lazy soldier. Such a soldier was of no use in protecting the rat's nest.
Of course, Tianyang didn’t plan to discuss these things with Plague Rat.
He simply used the black mist to shield his aura, bringing out the characteristics of his class, and walked against the wall like a ghost.
While monitoring the plague rat with the black fog model, when Tianyang touched its butt, the plague rat still didn't know that the god of death had come behind it.
The predator fell in an instant, and when the bone sword was about to fall on its body, the plague rat became alert. Unfortunately, it was too late, and it was easily cut in half by the predator before it could even scream.
But after the plague rat was cut open, a bunch of large and small flesh particles suddenly spurted out from the edge of the cut, making the originally smooth cut become jagged, as if it had been torn apart by someone's bare hands.
Such damage, even if the body is not cut open, will leave huge and difficult-to-heal wounds.
Looking at the rat corpse, Tianyang seemed to be thinking, could this be the class characteristic of the Ripper
The Assassin had the characteristics of concealment and stealth, the young Eraser hadn't figured that out yet, but the Ripper's characteristics were very obvious.
At a glance, it seems that the attack has a tearing effect, but I don't know if it happens with every attack or if it's random.
But no matter what, with this tearing property, Tianyang's damage to the target will be deeper and greater!
At this time, there was a slight rustling sound from deep in the passage, and a moment later, another plague rat came out. This plague rat was bigger, with a disproportionately large nose on its head, and its nostrils were facing the sky and twitching from time to time.
When it discovered the decomposing corpse of its own kind in front of it, a figure suddenly rushed over, and the predator stabbed forward like lightning. The tip of the bone sword pierced into the upper part of the plague rat's nose, penetrated the upper and lower jaws, and nailed it to the ground.
The plague rat did not die immediately. It scratched the ground frantically. Its four short, thick and sharp claws scratched the metal ground, leaving a series of sparks. In a blink of an eye, it scraped out traces of varying lengths on the ground.
Tianyang held the hilt tightly and shook his wrist. The predator shot through the heads of the plague rats and broke out of their backs, shaking out a pool of dark blood plasma and flesh scraps.
Just like before, after the plague rat was cut open, the body on both sides of the cut shook slightly, and then large and small particles were sprayed out, causing the wound to be torn larger.
After killing two plague rats in a row, Tianyang was certain that the characteristic of job level 3 was the tearing effect.
This job level feature is simple and crude, very practical, and can directly add to combat power. Unlike job level 2, it is not clear what the feature is at present. As for the stealth of job level 1, it can only play a supporting role.
Feeling happy but not daring to let down his guard, the boy continued to explore forward and soon found a hall.
The hall had been severely damaged, with some metal pipes of unknown purpose standing inside, which had fallen to the ground. Even those still standing in the hall were deformed and twisted, and looked like they had suffered a huge impact.
Some observation platforms and bridge towers in the distance were either broken or severely deformed, and there were even the remains of one or two base personnel hanging on them.
Some plague rats lay on the remains, biting off a bone or two from time to time to use as teeth grinding.
There are quite a few plague rats in the hall. The adult plague rats are generally distributed around the hall. They occupy the ground, broken stairs, overturned instruments on the ground, and some corpses.
The young plague rats gathered in groups of three or five, huddled together, densely packed, and there seemed to be quite a lot of them.
Obviously, the information here is inconsistent with Liu Chen's intelligence.
In the hall, Tianyang found several rats, which were much larger than adult plague rats. They looked like calves, and these plague rats should be evolving into plague demons, but they were still some distance away from being plague demons.
In addition to the plague rats, there were also several fungus people in the hall. If Tianyang had not used the black fog to enhance his perception, otherwise, he might have really ignored these fungus people hiding in corners or behind objects, motionless.
The number of fungus people is not large, but if you don't notice them in time, once they seize the opportunity to attack you, it will be a trouble after all.
There were many black people in the hall, so Tianyang did not act rashly and waited for reinforcements by the door.
He didn't have to wait long before Yunze arrived with his men. Tianyang briefly reported what he had observed, but in order to avoid exposing his overly strong reconnaissance capabilities, he chose to conceal some unimportant details.
In this way, Yunze would know which areas to pay attention to, but he would not feel that Tianyang's reconnaissance capabilities were too strong.
After a brief discussion, the battle plan was finalized. Yunze made a gesture and everyone took action separately.
Not long after, a giant plague rat in the hall seemed to sense something, it raised its head, and its huge nostrils twitched. Suddenly, it finally discovered something was wrong, the temperature in the hall was rising!
This rise was completely unconventional. The temperature in the space continued to soar at an alarming rate. Some young plague rats had begun to twist their bodies and squeak.
The giant plague rat opened its mouth and let out a roar. Almost at the same time, the ground in the middle of the hall turned red, and a huge red spot illuminated the space with a fiery red color.
The infected rats in the red spots, both adults and young ones, all screamed miserably.
Their hairless bodies were immediately sizzling from the heat, and foul-smelling smoke rose up. The adult plague rats rushed desperately to the edge of the red spot, but the young plague rats had already been burned to the point that their bodies were stuck to the ground.
Suddenly, a ball of orange-yellow flame spurted out from the red spot, just like a small volcano erupting. The flames that spewed from the ground directly burned the infected rats in the red spot into charcoal.
This ball of fire alone burned to death one third of the rats, causing Tianyang, who was lying in ambush nearby, to be secretly astonished.
The flame came from Yanhong's hands. As expected, the elemental hearts above level 3 can cause huge damage as long as they are given time to prepare!
In addition to killing a large number of plague rats, the hellfire was also a signal for the Yunlong team to attack. Including Tianyang, they threw out high-explosive grenades one after another.
Although a high-explosive grenade is a gunpowder mine, it only costs 50 contribution points. Compared with special strategic weapons such as hellfire and gravity grenade, it is much cheaper.
However, each member of the Yunlong team threw at least four or five grenades, which means that this wave alone cost Yunze more than three thousand contribution points.
This made Tianyang sigh in his heart, wars are indeed caused by money!
Boom boom boom!
The plague rats that were previously scared by the bright red flames and ran around in panic were now bombarded by the grenades thrown by the Yunlong team, causing them to scream in agony.
Tianyang and his men did not throw the grenades randomly, but calculated the landing point so that the explosion blocked the rats' path and ensured the maximum lethality.
Suddenly, the whole hall was filled with smoke and rat corpses were everywhere. There were also a few fungus people burning into fireballs. But at this time, two black shadows broke through the smoke and rushed towards the Yunlong team... .
PS: When do you all read the book? It would be better to finish the next two chapters at night, so that you don’t have to wait and can just finish reading and go to bed.
