Xiao Mo turned his back and hid the smile at the corner of his mouth. Such a military generation was really annoying.

"Can you predict the weather? Did you predict this earthquake?" Xue Lihong finally spoke to Qiu Xin.

Qiu Xin hesitated for a moment, but when he saw Xue Lihong's dead eyes, he was so frightened that he immediately shouted: "You know it half an hour in advance."

"Just half an hour?" Xue Lihong didn't seem to doubt that Qiu Xin could predict the weather. He seemed to be more confused about why Qiu Xin's level was so low.

"This earthquake is quite strange. Generally, earthquakes are caused by changes in the earth's crust. The surrounding areas are affected and slowly affected. Because this process is extended, general earthquake predictions can be predicted in advance. I once went to the mountainous area to play. It was predicted two days in advance that there would be an earthquake nearby, but this time... not only was the earthquake source relatively close, but there didn't seem to be any emergencies brewing. This is really strange!"

Qiu Xin said frustrated: "I also called my old man to inform him, but the time was too short. Even if the old man wanted to make some preparations, it was too late."

Xue Lihong was deep in thought, not knowing what she was thinking.

Qiu Xin secretly sighed, surprised that the two people didn't ask him why he could predict the weather, and they weren't surprised at all by his special skill.

Xiao Mo was actually curious in his heart about how Qiu Xin could predict the weather and natural disasters. He was even more curious that he seemed to have had this skill before. However, he had seen too many abnormal humans in the past two days and had no interest in knowing the reason.

"Why didn't you go to your dad's place before the earthquake?" Xiao Mo grasped the doubt.

"My home is safer. That community was built by engineers. Didn't you expect it? All buildings are no more than four floors, and the building materials are all practical. Through reasonable planning and design, a lot of high technology is also incorporated. , it looks inconspicuous from the outside, but it is not only comfortable to live in, but also much safer than ordinary real estate.”

"...Is that property open to takeout?"

"Of course not, the internal division has already been completed."

"No wonder your dad is so relieved when you live there." Xiao Mo felt a little bit envious and jealous.

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Qiu Xin immediately said with a shy face: "Brother Xiao, speaking of which, we don't have much hatred. I think this is a big misunderstanding from beginning to end. I don't think you can tie me up or knock me unconscious." You put me in the carriage, and I am willing to help you negotiate with my old man and ask him to send your family back."

"oh?"

"Really! I swear!"

"Tell me your father's satellite phone number." Xue Lihong said.

"Oh." Qiu Xin saw Xue Lihong open his mouth and immediately reported a series of numbers.

Xue Lihong did not contact Qiu Feng immediately, but only said to Xiao Mo: "Take him in with you."

Xiao Mo looked at Qiu Xin.

Qiu Xin raised his hands and swore that he would follow them obediently and never run away.

"You can escape. Didn't you say you escaped from the kidnappers twice before? Then you can try to see if you can escape from me a third time."

Qiu Xin's legs went weak, he grabbed Xiao Mo's arm and cried: "Wow! Hero is so scary! I was lying to you, I have never been kidnapped. Woo, I won't run away, I swear I will never Will run away!"

With no one watching and no threat from the surveillance camera, Xiao Mo climbed onto the roof of the car and stepped on the car over the wall into the school.

Qiu Xin was the second to climb in.

As for Xue Lihong... she jumped right in with a slight leap on the spot!

The campus is very big, but with Xiao Mo, the human navigator, they quickly found the experimental building where the helicopter was inserted.

Qiu Xin didn't know what the two of them were doing here, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he followed them honestly.

"They are... downstairs?" Xiao Mo said in surprise when he heard the system prompt and looked at the three-dimensional map in his mind.

"basement?"

"No, it seems to be deeper. Strange..." Xiao Mo stepped forward.

Xue Lihong looked around and followed the two people in front.

"Brother Xiao, there was a gunfight here! There was a lot of blood!"

Qiu Xin didn't say anything, but Xiao Mo had already seen it.

The situation inside the building looked worse than outside.

Xue Lihong took out a hand/gun, opened the safety catch and handed it to Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo took it silently. He didn't dare to put his finger on the trigger for fear of accidentally hitting it.

Qiu Xin was not surprised to see that they had guns. As for mercenaries, let alone guns, it was not surprising that they had missiles.

"What is that? A corpse?!" Qiu Xin suddenly jumped up in fright. He is a civilized man and rejects all violence! And he has never seen a real corpse in his whole life!

"Shut up!" Xue Lihong patted Xiao Mo's shoulder and made a gesture to him to slow down.

Xiao Mo actually understood it, and immediately slowed down his steps and placed his feet very lightly.

Qiu Xin also started to walk carefully.

On the stairway leading to the underground floor, they saw more than one body.

And most of these corpses looked like dehydrated people.

The corpses include school staff, students, and soldiers.

"What happened here?" Qiu Xin asked in a trembling voice.

Xiao Mo turned around and put his finger to his lips.

Qiu Xin quickly shut up.

Because of poor vision, Xiao Mo took out the miner's lamp from his backpack. He originally wanted to give one to Xue Lihong, but Xue Lihong shook his hand, indicating that he didn't need it.

Xiao Mo then gave the extra head-mounted miner's lamp to Qiu Xin.

Qiu Xin put on the mining lamp and looked at Xue Lihong with admiration and fear. In such a dark place, he didn't need a lamp

Xue Lihong turned to look at him.

Qiu Xin was so frightened that he almost screamed. Xue Lihong's eyes shone green like a wild beast!

No, that is an illusion, it must be an illusion!

Qiu Xin followed Xiao Mo closely, not daring to take a step away.

Most of the underground floors of the laboratory building are mechanical and electrical rooms and warehouses, and there is only one floor.

But Xiao Mo looked at the map in his mind and found that the gold-eating mother worm was obviously further down.

"How many meters is the vertical distance to the target?" Xiao Mo asked the system in his mind.

"The vertical distance is thirty meters."

That's pretty deep! This number is almost equivalent to the height of a ten-story building.

Xiao Mo turned to look at Xue Lihong and whispered the data to him.

When Xiao Mo looked over, there was no change in the young man's eyes, except for a faint reflection, and Xiao Mo didn't pay much attention.

Xue Lihong pulled him and changed her position to walk in front, letting Xiao Mo and Qiu Xin walk side by side behind him.

Xiao Mo took the initiative to warn the direction of their backs.

Both of them knew that it was impossible for this kind of school building to have such a deep underground building, so the gold-eating female insects would be so deep, and they saw so many corpses, gun battles and traces of fire along the way, which all indicated that I'm afraid they won't encounter much lovable stuff down there.

When they reached the middle section, the three of them discovered a rather large warehouse and a large hole that looked very deep in the warehouse.

"Do you want to go down? I feel all hairy and something is very wrong." Xiao Mo whispered in Xue Lihong's ear.

"There's someone down there." Xue Lihong replied.

"You mean King Qian and the other two are already down there?"

"More than two people." Xue Lihong walked to the edge of the cave and seemed to be planning to jump down.

The gold-eating female insect is moving, and moving fast!

Xiao Mo was stunned and immediately called Xue Lihong softly, "Qian Wang and the two may have brought a target here."

Xue Lihong immediately pulled Xiao Mo aside and kicked Qiu Xin to the opposite corner.

Qiu Xin didn't even dare to cry out in pain. He huddled in the corner and didn't dare to move.

Xiao Mo turned off the miner's lamp in time, but Qiu Xin did not.

Just as Xiao Mo was about to remind Qiu Xin to turn off the mining lamp, a figure quickly climbed up from the cave.

The man had a flashlight in his mouth. When he came up and saw a light next to him, his first reaction was to hold the gun and aim it.

"Wang Cheng!" Xiao Mo recognized the person.

Wang Cheng turned around, and the flashlight illuminated the two people in the dark corner.

"Xiao Mo?" Wang Cheng was surprised, "It's great that you can come at this time! I was planning to come up to find someone for help!"

Xiao Mo turned on the miner's lamp and walked to Wang Cheng, "What's going on? Did something happen to Dr. Qian?"

"No, it's not Yun Kai, it's three soldiers. Wait a minute, I have to find a rope. All three soldiers are injured, two of them are still seriously injured. The hole is too steep, and there is a sneak attack from the Blood Mosquito Beast. We have no chance. Find a way to bring people up."

"Is this the blood mosquito beast's lair?" Xue Lihong also walked out of the darkness.

"It's very possible. However, we blew up the main cave below, and their army won't be able to come out for a while. Currently, there are only a few wandering around to attack us."

"I just saw a fire hose belt nearby. Maybe it can be used instead of a rope?" Xiao Mo reminded.

"Great!" Wang Cheng immediately ran to find the fire hose belt in the direction Xiao Mo pointed out, but before lifting his feet, he took out the glass bottle in his backpack and handed it to Cheng Zhou, "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life!"

Xiao Mo solemnly said: "Thank you!"

"You go outside and notify your employer to pick up the goods. I'll go down and take a look." Xue Lihong seemed to be very interested in what was going on below.

Xiao Mo nodded, glanced at Qiu Xin, and walked out holding the glass bottle.

Qiu Xin wanted to follow Xiao Mo, but Xue Lihong grabbed his collar and jumped into the deep hole together.

"Ah!" Qiu Xin shouted in fright.

Wang Cheng was surprised when he saw Xiao Mo carrying the glass bottle upstairs, but he didn't ask anything.

Xiao Mo told Wang Cheng that Xue Lihong had jumped down into the deep hole to help. Wang Cheng was grateful. With Xue Lihong here, the injured below would at least be safer, and naturally Qian Yunkai wouldn't have to work so hard.

Wang Cheng was worried about Qian Yunkai and the people below him, so he fixed the fire hose in place, tested its strength, and jumped off with the fire hose.

Seeing that there was no one around, Xiao Mo immediately recovered the last five gold-eating female insects.

"Ding, the target of mission 03 was recovered successfully. The scavenger Xiao Mo will be rewarded. There are three options for the reward. You can choose one. Option 1, how to use first-level powers and exercise methods; Option 2, open up your mental space. Cubic meters; option three, ten first-class standard energy crystals."

Xiao Mo chose the first reward option without hesitation.

"Please note that the first-level power usage methods and training methods can be combined with the training schedule previously provided by this system. The two complement each other and will be more effective if you study together."

Xiao Mo said he understood.

Immediately, a large amount of knowledge was forcefully poured into his mind.

Xiao Mo held onto the wall next to him and subconsciously pressed his hand between his eyebrows.

He was so dizzy that he didn't know how much time had passed. Just when he felt better, he heard the system beep sound again.

"Ding, scavenger Xiao Mo has completed the two first-level tasks. The system has met the upgrade conditions and will be upgraded within the next ten minutes."

Xiao Mo suddenly felt an unbearable severe pain coming from the depths of his brain. He immediately screamed, covered his head and passed out.
