To ensure safety, Vivian threw a little bat down again, this time she let the little bat fly down with a small piece of protective crystal attached. Seeing such a small thing flying into the passage with a crystal dangling on it, Hao Ren was really worried that it would hit the wall, but fortunately, it made it to the bottom smoothly.
Under the metal pipe is a world of tunnels extending in all directions, with a complex structure like an ant's nest. Vivienne found the route the Stitched Monsters had taken when they came out based on the blood left on the pipe, and found many monsters that died in the pipe: they fell down. Together, the skin on the upper body was scorched in a large area, and the cause of the scorching was the short-circuit failure of the black discharge vest on his body. It seems that the electromagnetic pulse bomb that Hao Ren dropped earlier had an extraordinary effect, not only blowing up the mechanical control part of the metal pipe , and killed a large number of monsters rushing out, and let them block some of the exits.
But Vivienne's little bat also found that the sound of mechanical friction was coming from some forks in the pipeline, which may be gradually recovering. If this pipeline system has the function of self-maintenance and cleaning, then other monsters should be found soon New outlets popped up.
Hao Ren decisively decided to rush in before those pipeline systems resumed operation. In order to give everyone enough time and to cause more trouble to this underground facility, he threw several electromagnetic pulse bombs down a pipeline.
After a series of muffled sounds came from deep underground, Hao Ren nodded: "Clean up, let's go down. I'll take the lead."
Uruk frowned, the thing in front of him was something he had never seen before, and he instinctively felt that there was a disgusting aura coming from the depths of the tunnel. However, he didn't hesitate or flinch. In any case, a group of unclean guys dug such a hole deep in the sacred mountain of werewolves, and he couldn't just leave it alone. The wolf king next to him turned his head to look around: "Are you ready to go down? I don't have to go down, do I?"
Uruk stared at his mount: "How can you back down at a time like this?"
The wolf king bared his teeth: "Look at my four claws! How do you want me to use this thing to pick up pipes?"
Uruk immediately felt that what his mount said made sense, he was speechless.
"You and the other wolves are guarding outside," Hao Ren said to the wolf king. "I'll leave you a communicator and let us know if there is any movement. Just talk to it. In addition, other soldiers should Just come here, let them follow, we will leave someone below to help—Ophra. Is that okay?"
Hao Ren was now the captain, so he habitually gave instructions for the next thing, and only after he finished speaking did he realize that there was a genuine commander here. Ofra waved her hand nonchalantly: "Let's do it this way, I've already discovered it. Now you are familiar with this situation, but I feel like I can't do anything if I want to direct."
Hao Ren hung the communicator around the wolf king's neck, and after confirming that everything was ready, he was the first to jump into the deep and dim mechanical tunnel.
The pipe slopes downward, but the slope is still for people to walk, as long as you are careful not to roll down. And the inside of the pipe is more spacious than imagined. Adults can almost stand upright in it: these are not so much pipes as some cylindrical corridors. As Hao Ren walked, he observed the metal pipe wall beside him. The metal on it was obviously not able to be cast by Holleta's local technology, and its fine structure was far beyond the technical level that this planet should have. The more he looked, the more frightened he became: the existence of these high-tech things can only explain one problem, that is, what is hidden in the holy mountain is far more than just the lair of the Hui Yao Sect!
Does a cult group formed by local aborigines need such a high-tech alien base
"That brain monster has been lurking on this planet for at least thousands of years," Vivienne was also thinking about similar issues, "This underground base should be slowly built by it, which shows that it has at least a certain amount of money on hand." industrial equipment."
Hao Ren nodded silently. Nothing was said.
The situation has far exceeded his initial guess. At first, he thought that only a brain monster came to this planet by chance, and organized a group of local aborigines to form a return sect, and all of this should have happened in recent years , but now the facts can be said to be completely different from his guess: the brain monster has been dormant in this world for thousands of years, and it has built an amazing underground base in this holy mountain, and the returning sect...
I'm afraid it's just an insignificant small group attached to this underground base.
"There is a strong interference here." The voice of the data terminal woke Hao Ren from his thoughts. "The source of the interference is still deeper. But I don't know if it is the power of the base or something else."
Hao Ren replied casually, "Anyway, let's go and have a look, anyway, there is no other choice."
Y'zaks bent over and followed at the end of the line. It was really hard for him to walk here, and Elizabeth couldn't bear to look at it from the side: "Dad, so why didn't you shrink your body size a little bit?"
Y'zaks replied sullenly: "Who told me to meet a Quebec barbarian when I changed into a human form for the first time. I thought it was the standard height of a human being... I can't change it even if I want to change it now." .”
Not long after the team advanced in this weird alloy pipe, they encountered the first fork in the road that Vivian found out. Lily pointed at the intersection and shouted: "Look over there!"
I saw several flesh and blood monsters exuding a stench falling to death in one of the pipes. The black vests on their bodies burst due to the overload of the circuit, and their entire upper bodies were almost cooked. To the traces after the four walls of the pipeline were ablated by a strong arc. This is a masterpiece of EMP bombs.
Hao Ren endured his nausea and stepped forward to open one of the monster's black vests. The thing had been broken into pieces, and it would fall off after a little flipping. Hao Ren discovered that this thing was made of layers of flexible plastic-like materials. The outer layer was inlaid with black crystals, and the inner layer was a large number of wires. On one side of the body, you could see a lot of glittering metallic lights. The needle structure, if you guessed right, these needles should directly penetrate into the monster's muscles: they are the power source and control secret of these flesh and blood monsters.
"The combination of biology and machinery, and it looks like an industrial product, coming out of an assembly line," the data terminal quickly judged, "It's not the same as the 'knight' I saw at the royal capital banquet last time."
"The question is where did the 'materials' of these monsters come from," Lily frowned, and poked the arm of a stitching monster with fire, "It seems that they are put together with human organs, and many of the organs are still There are signs of being modified... This requires a lot of corpses, right?"
Nangong Wuyue murmured cautiously: "Could it be those heretics who have disappeared?"
Hao Ren's heart immediately moved, recalling that he had never met a returning believer since entering the mountain, he immediately felt that the possibility could not be ignored: "This... is very likely!"
"It's unbelievable," Ofra frowned, "The demon turned all his followers into such monsters?"
"Human beings are not his followers at all," Hao Ren threw away the fragments of his vest, stood up and clapped his hands, "the brain monster and the eldest son have the same belief, and that is that all life should die, but the brain monster It is smarter, it will try to let the prey kill itself first."
Y'zaks stepped forward, waved his hand at a Stitch Monster, and saw a hazy and translucent mass in his hand, which struggled violently in his palm until it dissipated, while Y'zaks shook Shaking his head: "But these heretics were transformed into monsters consciously and voluntarily."
Everyone was silent for a while, and in the end Ofra could only sigh: "Incomprehensible belief."
Ofra left two soldiers to meet the follow-up team at this first fork, and then gave the order to continue. Everyone avoided the pipeline that might lead to the "Flesh and Flesh Monster Factory" and chose a direction where there was no bloody smell seeping out. As they went deeper, more lights appeared in the passage, which seemed to prove that the direction of progress was correct: they were approaching the deep area of the underground facility.
Just when the team reached another fork in the road, a sound of mechanical activity suddenly came from nearby.
Lily's hearing was excellent, and she immediately turned her pointy ears to the direction of the sound: "Over there!"
Y'zaks stepped forward immediately: "Everyone—bang!"
Elizabeth looked up and found that her father's head was stuck in the ceiling. She sighed: "So why didn't you make your body smaller?"
Y'zaks' voice came from behind a layer of steel: "Stop talking, let me pull it out first..." (To be continued~^~)
