It was extraordinarily quiet in the dark, and the safe passage seemed to be shrouded in a layer of black fog. Even with the infrared vision mode in the helmets of a few people, the visibility could not exceed ten meters. Inside the helmets, a few people could only hear their own breathing, and the atmosphere was so depressing that it made people crazy. The darkness is like a prison, you can't see anything outside the prison, you only know that no matter how far you go, you still can't get out of this prison.
If it weren't for the fact that a few of them were all mentally strong, ordinary people would have gone crazy on this seemingly heartless road.
Compared with Zero and a few people, Eva's expression is much more relaxed. If it weren't for the black epee that this woman was carrying, she would have looked so leisurely as if she was taking a walk. It's just that if someone looks closely at Eva's eyes at this time, they can find that her pupils are constantly switching various colors. It can be seen that Eva has no fewer visual modes than Zero and their tactical helmets, and they have more functions.
Switching between these pupils of different color spectrums, Eva is able to capture traces of all the energy activity in the safe passage, thus constructing a diorama. At the beginning, Eva's stereoscopic modeling was just a vague outline, and as more and more data were filled into the model, it gradually became clear. The living corpse Gemini also has this kind of ability, the difference is that Gemini's calculation ability is based on the help provided by the intelligent brain, while Eva relies on the wisdom center of her own head to perform calculations.
If Eva's modeling head at this time is regarded as an intelligent brain, then Eva, who is fully calculating, is now equivalent to a comet-level intelligent brain, capable of huge data calculations.
Soon, the three-dimensional model took shape in Eva's eyes, and according to the flow of energy, it began to simulate the picture of a certain time in this safe passage.
Through this three-dimensional model, Eva saw a large number of sickle insects enter the base on the second floor from the middle of the safe passage. They seem to have gone through a fierce battle, and many insects have suffered various degrees of damage. But they managed to bring back some food.
Living corpse!
More than a hundred alive and kicking corpses were pierced by the scythe corpses with their scythe legs, and brought back to the safe passage like skewers. But these big bugs didn't eat the living corpses, just in the passage, a smaller green whirlwind appeared. These scythe-evolved bugs used their sharp scalpel-like forelimbs to cut open the chest of the living corpse, and then lay on the living corpse one by one like parasites, contracting rhythmically with the body, as if they were sucking something.
When the green whirlwinds finished eating, their bodies swelled up a circle. These fat and fearful bugs left the living corpses and flew back to the third-floor base. The corpses of the living corpses were eaten by the sickle insects.
This is a scene deduced by the three-dimensional model based on the energy changes in the channel. Although there may be some gaps with the facts, Eva is sure that the error rate does not exceed five percentage points, which means that it is not far from the facts. Those scenes of the green whirlwind sucking the living corpse made the woman wonder. She had lived in the underground base for two years and had captured other bug monsters as research objects, but she had never seen such a behavior of the green whirlwind.
Green whirlwinds evolved from sickle insects, they eat the brains of living things. These worms have round mouthparts. When eating, they will use their sharp legs to pin the prey, and then open the mouthparts to make a hole in the head of the prey with the broken teeth that revolve around the mouthparts. , and then suck the brain oars from the head of the prey into the mouth to swallow.
But the green whirlwind in the three-dimensional model is obviously not eating. They are more like sucking something from the body of the living corpse, and then leave as transport workers. Just from the three-dimensional model, I don't know where the "goods" sent by the green whirlwind
A faint trace of uneasiness flitted through Eva's heart, and soon, this trace of emotion was captured. After parsing it into various data, and sorting out and analyzing it, Eva concluded that her uneasiness came from the quietly changing third-tier base. Judging from the abnormality of the green whirlwind, I am afraid that the bugs in the third-floor base are not the ones she was familiar with before.
Could it be another evolution
Eva thought silently, and gestured cautiously to the couple. She does not have a tactical helmet, and cannot communicate with a few people through the communication channel in the helmet, so she can only communicate through simple gestures.
But several people could see the seriousness on Eva's face, knowing that she must have discovered something, everyone immediately paid attention to it.
When walking down the last step and the fire door was in sight, Eva suddenly raised her hand and made a stop gesture. A few people stopped immediately, the exit fire door was wide open, but the two Rippers who had acted as spies before were gone.
Although these two Rippers are high-level living corpses, they will not act without authorization under the order of Gemini. What's more, judging from the large pool of dark red blood by the door, and a trace of blood dragged out on the ground, it seems that the Rippers were dragged away by something.
The twins showed slight uneasiness, and the ordinary living corpses were no longer as quiet as before. Even the butchers kept panting heavily, holding their weapons tightly in their hands, looking nervous.
"Open the way." Eva said indifferently, she ordered Gemini as if she couldn't see the vision by the door.
Gemini immediately pointed at more than a dozen zombie shooters with his hands, and let out a low growl at them. Although the living corpse who was named was unwilling, under the power of the twins, he could only stand obediently, and then walked out the door assuming that he could shoot at any time.
These zombie shooters were soldiers of the base before they were alive, and after being transformed into living corpses, they retained certain instincts during their lifetime. Although they can't judge the battle situation by themselves, under the order of Gemini, they can also block the enemy with the weapons in their hands.
Seeing that the zombie shooter was submerged in the darkness outside the door, Eva walked first, and a few people were not far behind, and walked out of the fire door in file with the zombie army led by Gemini. There is a deep passage outside the fire door. According to the instructions of the electronic map, this passage will lead to a rest area in the third-floor base. There, there are various passages extending in all directions to every corner of the base.
Starting from the third-floor base, there are various weapons and biochemical research departments. According to the information held by a few people, the base had been in operation for half a century before the cataclysm. Therefore, below the third floor base, it is hard to say that there are no dangerous weapons or biological weapons. But more, it should be radiation and biological gene templates, these things are the main source of mutated creatures in the base.
After the cataclysm, although the underground base did not suffer a devastating blow, the shock caused by the impact of the meteorite damaged some instruments, including culture tanks and various utensils. Among them, the emergence of radiation caused the death of a large number of creatures in the base. However, the life survived in this environment has quietly changed from the genetic level, so there are insect monsters such as sickle insects, human face moths, and Nemesis.
Zero and his party walked along the passage to the gate of the rest area. Along the way, bloodstains continued, and they sank directly into the gate of the rest area. Several people nodded and showed their weapons at the same time. Eva held the hilt of the epee in her hand, maintaining a posture ready to shine the sword at any time, kicked with her long legs, and landed on the gate.
The force of this kick was as high as nearly a ton, and the heavy impact caused the bolt of the door to break, and the entire door made of alloy fell to the world inside the door with a howl.
A loud bang echoed throughout the base. Under the cover of the living corpses, everyone rushed into the rest area. This area is nearly a thousand square meters wide, just like a square. There are not only various smoking areas in the area, but also coffee houses, bakeries and restaurants, and even a cinema. It is conceivable that for the base personnel in the old days, this became the only place for them to spend their time after work.
It's just that now, not only is this place abandoned, but there are also some human corpses scattered in the square, but it is unclear whether it is the former base personnel or the living corpses dragged into the base by the scythe.
Bloodstains left by the Ripper run under a lamppost outside a restaurant. The two Rippers had turned into a pile of mutilated corpses. Among them, at least half of the body was missing, but it was unknown which monster had become the ration. The procession moved to the lamppost, and Eva crouched down to find that the Ripper was now torn to shreds by something else.
Judging from the traces of the smooth cut, it should be the work of the green whirlwind. This kind of bug is much smaller than the sickle bug, but the sharp blades on its legs are even worse. Even if it is alloy armor, everything will be divided into two evenly by the green whirlwind.
Suddenly, Gemini issued a warning whistle. Eva stood up immediately and looked towards the left side of the restaurant. A few people also looked over, and saw a bug shaped like a hound flying out of the shop window. It flapped the four insect wings on its back, making a buzzing sound, but it was able to hover in mid-air like a bee. The worm opened its round mouthparts, its belly bulged and shrank, and a round thing fell out of its mouth.
Everyone looked carefully, but it was the head of one of the tearers.
When everyone discovered it, the worm also discovered them. Greedy light flashed across the scarlet worm's eyes, and the worm immediately flew towards everyone at high speed.
"Be careful, it's a green whirlwind!"
cried Eva, and almost at the same time, the twins had ordered the zombie shooter to greet the bug that was rushing towards everyone. Almost all the zombie shooters in the legion fired at the same time, the roaring gunfire rang out to build the base, the flames jumping from the muzzles of the guns could still be clearly seen hundreds of meters away, and the metal torrent composed of nearly fifty machine guns, even with the hard shell of the green whirlwind Can't resist.
At first, the bullet left only a faint white mark on the outside of its worm case. But it endured hundreds of blows within a second, and the impact of the bullets finally broke through the worm's defenses and sank into its body. So the green whirlwind flew halfway, but it was shot into a hornet's nest by the machine gun, and fell to the ground and thumped twice. Just when he was about to stand up, a butcher came out more and more, and smashed the front half of Lu Xuanfeng's body into pieces with a heavy hammer in his hand, which was roughly welded by a water pipe and a large iron rotor. When the blue-yellow worm liquid overflowed from the hammer, the butcher raised his hammer high and let out a loud roar.
But before the few people could be happy, they heard countless "rustling" sounds, as if something had grazed the ground. After a while, countless crimson light spots appeared in the darkness of the rest area. Looking through the helmet, Zero saw a praying mantis the size of a car, magnified hundreds of times, appearing in every corner of the rest area.
There were so many of them that the densely packed figure looked like a sea of bugs!
