While repairing the car, Han Xiao reflected on the problems exposed in the battle just now.
His current combat mode is mainly sniping. The best tactic is to fly a kite, but his own movement speed is not fast, so he should create some gadgets to increase his speed.
The power leg is a good choice, but Han Xiao thinks it is too bulky. It just so happens that with the current level and knowledge, he can create a more flexible new thing.
He feels that he can further improve his combat mode, such as forming a team of robots, providing firepower assistance, and making up for the shortcomings of the slow frequency of sniper attacks.
Anyway, our mechanical department is wholesale equipment, self-reliance, what is missing.
Quickly repairing the car, Han Xiao drove the Thorns, followed the radar's marked coordinates to return to the entrance of Feronia, and immediately saw a string of footprints that disappeared to the edge of the hole. After a little thought, he knew the group of wanderers. Go ahead.
If it is an ordinary person, he may be worried that the good things in it will be taken first, but Han Xiao thinks it is better to have someone help him detect mines.
Standing on the edge of the hole, looking down with the probe, the rock walls are clearly layered, and at the junction of sunlight and darkness, you can vaguely see rusted metal extending downward.
"There are traces of artificial excavation on the rock wall, and there is a fishy smell in the wind... The smell of rust, I have never seen this place, go down and have a look."
Han Xiao brought all the equipment, bit the flashlight in his mouth, and climbed down the rock wall, illuminating the bottom with the flashlight from time to time.
As he got farther from the ground and the sunlight faded away, he realized that the wall had an arc.
Soon, the sun disappeared, the surroundings were dark, and only the flashlight was the only light source. This gloomy atmosphere made Han Xiao involuntarily raise his guard, feeling a little coolness appeared out of thin air, entangled in his heart, wishing to slow down his heartbeat before he could Relieve tension.
After climbing down for about three minutes, the flashlight finally hit the ground. It turned out to be a hollow metal floor, covered with dust, and thick cobwebs formed in the gaps. No one set foot on it for a long time.
Han Xiao rolled over and fell down, making a thud, and the echo came from far away. In this dark environment where he couldn't see his fingers, he seemed very lonely and infiltrating.
The surroundings are empty and deep, the light of the flashlight is like an island in the dark ocean, and there is a sound of rustling in the darkness, as if the sound of the landing just now attracted the attention of some unknown existence.
The flashlight swept around, and I was in a metal corridor, which seemed to be the architectural style of the base. There were reinforced concrete everywhere, the walls were covered with yellow-green rust oxide, and there were vaguely weird soft bugs crawling in the rust.
The hollow metal plate on the ground was covered with dust, and there was a series of new footprints extending forward. I thought it was the first group of pilgrims.
There should be room under the metal cutout floor.
Han Xiao turned his flashlight, shone at his feet, and saw the scene below.
Through the hollow metal plate under his feet, countless dense red compound eyes stared at him silently in the dark!
"Fuck!"
Han Xiao's scalp was numb, and he hurriedly retracted the light, listing the lower level as a restricted area.
He carefully followed the footsteps of the pilgrims, the surroundings were silent, and there was a faint sound of rustling creatures crawling. He calmed down to listen, but disappeared without a trace. It was very strange, and people couldn't help but feel nervous.
After walking a short distance, a fork appeared ahead, and the footprints of the pilgrims disappeared on the right fork.
Just as he was hesitating, the sound of rapid footsteps sounded on the fork on the right, and it seemed that many people were running in panic and approaching quickly.
Han Xiao hurriedly dodged to the other side of the road, turned off the flashlight, and put on the night vision goggles wholesaled by Farion.
"Quick, run!"
"Monster!"
The pilgrims panicked and ran off the road, as if avoiding some indescribable existence. There was a lot of blood on their clothes, and the number of people decreased.
"What are they hiding?" Han Xiao wondered.
Suddenly, there was a low beast-like roar on the other side of the road next door, hoarse and heavy, like the sigh of a giant, and the echo was buzzing. Just hearing this sound made his blood rush, his chest was disgusted, and his heart was secretly shock.
"This is a high-level beast-like coercion, definitely more than level 40!"
This group of pilgrims looked terrified, not knowing what terrifying existence they saw, they used their hands and feet to crawl back in panic.
However, the monster didn't seem to come out, and the pilgrims sat limply, with expressions of the rest of their lives.
The monster didn't even make a sound of footsteps, Han Xiao remembered it in his heart.
"Joel was eaten by monsters, woo..."
"It's horrible here."
The old pilgrim trembled, his expression slumped, as if his spirit and energy were taken away, and said: "This is not Fironia, there is nothing we want, hurry up and leave here, let's find the real ruins."
The legendary magical ruins should be full of mysterious and ancient aura, engraved with countless mysterious patterns that cannot be understood, and the main body of the ruins should be stone, but here is just an artificially built steel base, he looked on the wall. To the emblem of the dead country, this is a secret military base of the old country.
The pilgrims fell silent, and a young man said, "Maybe this is the real Filonia. The motherland found the ruins and built a base here to study the treasures of the desert."
The treasure of the desert, the legendary treasure of Feronia, can control the Somar desert.
The old pilgrim shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Impossible, if the old country had the treasure of the desert, how could the country be destroyed."
"This is not the place we are looking for, the real Fironia ruins are still hidden in a corner of the desert!"
The old pilgrim was decisive.
The pilgrims left, supporting each other.
After listening to their discussion, Han Xiao finally solved some of his doubts. As far as he knows, Seablue Star does not have magic, and the miracle of the so-called desert treasure is probably only the function of some technological weapons.
But people always have unexplained beliefs and unrealistic fantasies about unknown mysteries. It made him inexplicably think of a story. When the flood came, a man prayed on the roof for God's rescue. God sent a boat to save him, but he just wanted to expect a miracle.
He didn't know why the Pilgrims believed that Philonia had something to do with magic, but it didn't seem to have anything to do with him... Or was this another hint of a hidden mission
After calming down, Han Xiao waited for the pilgrims to walk away before appearing, and he hesitated in the face of the fork in the road.
The pilgrim found out that there is a monster on the right, which is very dangerous, but the left is unknown, which may be more dangerous. How to choose
"According to experience, this group of pilgrims acted as dungeon guides, prompting that there are monsters on the right, which is an obvious signal, but it may have two meanings, the first is to warn not to go to the right, there are monsters, the second meaning , is deliberately misleading me to the left..."
Han Xiao gritted his teeth and resolutely chose the right side. The unknown is more terrifying than the monster. He still remembers the dense red eyes in the lower layer.
He donned electrothermal cutting gloves, and instead of using a flashlight, he only used a night vision device. He entered the fork on the right, and his field of vision was dark green, barely able to see the road ahead.
There are huge footprints on the ground that are completely different from human beings. I think they are left by the monster. They also have two legs and five toes. If the height of a human is proportional, this monster is about three meters tall.
After walking for a while, a room with an open door appeared ahead, and the monster's footprints extended to the door and stopped abruptly.
Han Xiao quietly approached the door and smelled a stench, like meat that had been rotting for many years, with a hint of fresh blood.
He probed into it.
A pair of copper bell-sized eyes were staring at him condescendingly, only half a meter apart!
Han Xiao was horrified.
