[Thanks to Brother Xiang for his monthly bid support! ]
Zero threw out the worm spears one by one at a constant speed of three per second, and the short spears pulled out afterimages in the air, and the broken airflow formed a strange whistling sound. Amidst howls, the short spears kept hitting the strange insects hanging above the cave. Only five seconds passed from the first spear falling from the monster worm to the last spear being thrown. In a short period of time, more than a dozen monsters responded with spears, but when the last shot was fired, the monster closest to Zero had already woken up.
Faster than Wormspear, it let go of the tentacles biting the ceiling of the cave, and fell to the ground like a giant spider. The worm spear shot at a stalagmite at the bottom of the cave, and the stalagmite was deeply pierced by the short spear like cooked cheese, which shows how powerful the zero-throwing spear is. The strange insect swept over the fallen companion's corpse, and let out an angry shriek from its cavity. Its limbs seemed to be sliding on the surface of the water, and it quickly attacked Zero.
The ground in the cave is rough and uneven, but the strange insect seems to be unrestricted. The eight jointed limbs can stretch freely, making the strange insect walk on flat ground. Zero was in a hurry, waiting for the strange insect to approach and bite him. He moved sideways like a ghost, and then unfolded the anti-gravity field. The whole person violated the laws of physics and rose vertically into the air, avoiding the onslaught of several tentacles of the strange insect.
A turning trajectory swept out in mid-air, and Ling fell behind the monster insect, sweeping out with one leg like a whip. The feet swept out several afterimages in the air, and finally merged into one place, forming a cone-shaped ripple that blasted into the strange insect's body. The whole body of the strange worm shrank, making a terrible cry, but the cone-shaped ripples kicked out by Zero blasted out of its mouth, where the ripples passed, the tissues in the strange worm's body were twisted into a piece of meat.
Zero hit successfully, and immediately flashed back. When the strange insect was dying, it frantically attacked everything in sight. It wasn't until more than ten seconds later that it gradually stopped moving, and the insect liquid poured out, flowing from the penetrating wound in its body to the ground.
Fifteen worms just died all over the place, making the whole cave seem crowded. Zero pulled out a short spear from one of the insect corpses, and used it as a tool to pry off the hard shells on the heads of each insect, and then picked out the insect crystals from their brains. After a while, Zero collected fourteen worm crystals of various sizes. As for the last worm, Zero's blow pierced through its body, but the worm crystal was smashed to pieces, but it couldn't be recovered.
Adding the original two pieces, there are sixteen worm crystals in total. Calculated as one hundred thousand gold coins per piece, this small bag contains 1.6 million gold coins. The economic benefits generated by Sensan Town working hard for a month. Now, Zero hopes that there will be more such bugs. However, the cave is only this big in total, so you can tell at a glance whether there are any strange insects.
Zero walked to the depths of the cave, and the further he went inside, the more the mountain walls on both sides closed up, until there was only one trail left, which was only enough for one person to walk through. It is no longer possible for strange insects to enter here, but on this small road, Zero saw pieces of insect skins. Presumably those strange insects have evolved several times, and these insect skins are the proof of their evolution.
Soon it came to the end, the wall was covered with glowing moss, and at this depth, the temperature of the air increased significantly, and the rocks and mountain walls were covered with water droplets. Originally, Ling thought that there should be something like a cave at the end, otherwise these strange insects would not be born out of thin air. With caves, there may be a possibility to lead to the surface, but he didn't expect that there would still be a cliff at the end.
Unwilling to give up, he reached out and groped on the moss, and soon he discovered that there was something unusual about the wall. It is too flat, there is no unevenness under the moss, it doesn't feel like a natural stone wall. Zero simply tore off the moss, and a moment later, a metal gate appeared in front of Zero. Behind the moss, there is a door, and there is even an electronic lock on the right hand side, it's like an underground base!
Zero checked the electronic lock and found that there was still a little green light on it, obviously the power supply of the base was still in operation. If there is a base, there must be a passage leading to the outside world. But that also had to enter the base. Zero flicked his fingers on the metal gate, and there was a gloomy sound from inside the gate. Obviously, this gate was very thick and not easy to be forcibly destroyed by external forces.
To enter the base, it seems that you have to start with the electronic lock, but Zero doesn't know the password to open the door. He turned to Xiang, trying to give the memory group the substances to generate and break the electronic code. Even he doesn't know if this method is feasible. After all, one side is electronic technology, and the other side is biology. There is a big difference between the two. But Zero's order still caused a response from the memory group, and soon, Zero saw a short and sharp bone spur protruding from the middle of his right fist, surrounded by pocket crystals of various colors, these crystals The stone is constantly shining. With every flicker of light, Zero can feel that several kinds of detection wave energy are contained in it.
Zero put a bone spur on the electronic lock, and the pointed end immediately softened, and melted away like mercury, and got in through the gap of the electronic lock. Soon, Zero's brain received a series of random numbers. These numbers kept jumping, and were quickly analyzed under the energy of the bone spur's detection wave, and finally the numbers gradually stopped, and when they were confirmed, Zero obtained a set of codes.
He retracted the bone spur, and the bone spur retracted automatically into Zero's fist when it left the electronic lock. Input the password obtained by the petty use into the electronic lock, and the words that the password is correct will be displayed on the LCD screen of the electronic lock immediately. As the gate vibrated, the moss clothes that hadn't been torn off fell off one after another as the gate shrank upward. Finally, a dark space appeared in front of Zero.
Zero walked in, and after a brief adaptation of his eyes, it was obvious that this was a corridor. The two sides of the corridor are extremely deep, and I don't know where it leads. At this time, the door behind him fell down again, and isolated the two worlds inside and outside. After arriving at the base, I realized that it was not really dark and dull. It's just that the base's main power supply should have stopped working, so the lighting equipment is a vain investment. But there is a red emergency light flashing every ten meters, which is the proof that the base backup power is working.
It's just that the backup power supply of the base should only be used in a certain important area, and it should be ensured that the channels throughout the base can be opened normally. Zero saw the environment of the base clearly with the help of low-light vision through the faint light. On the right hand side of the entrance, he saw a floor plan of the base. From the map, he was located near the biochemical experiment area. Walking from the production area of the biochemical experiment area to the east corridor, he could reach the living area of the base. In the living area, there are obviously signs of several elevators, which should be the exit to the outside world. I'm afraid that these elevators have stopped working, but since there are exits here, there should be emergency passages or something.
In short, there is still hope for leaving this underground world.
Zero engraved this floor plan in his mind, and according to the instructions on the map, he should go to the corridor on the left. There is a specimen room there, and outside the specimen room is the experimental area. Entering the experimental area, it is not far from the exit. As he walked, he wondered who built this underground base and when it was put into use.
In theory, there is no doubt that only the city of Rome has the strength to build an underground base. But the city of Rome obviously focuses on mecha technology, but this underground base is obviously built for the development of biochemical technology. If there is no accident, the strange insects outside the base, and even the giant rats that are used as food by the strange insects are all finished products of biochemical technology.
But this base has obviously been abandoned, but I don't know why
It didn't take long for Zero to come to the end of the corridor. There is still a metal door standing here, and there is an electronic lock beside the door. Zero repeated the old trick, using bone spurs to decipher the password on the electronic lock and opened the door. As soon as the door was opened, there was an unpleasant smell coming out. This smell is a bit like rotten eggs, but more, it is the smell left by the rotting corpse.
It can be seen that the specimen room has not been opened for a long time, and the air filtration equipment inside has also stopped working, which makes the peculiar smell inside here hard to dissipate. Zero had no choice but to hold his breath. Looking in from the door, he could see specimen containers filled with mutant creatures of various shapes. Many of them are unknown to Zero, and they are more like some kind of alien. Judging from their physical characteristics, these aliens are undoubtedly the best creature hunters.
Some utensils were overturned to the ground, and the fresh-keeping agent inside had long been lost, leaving only strange corpses. Among these corpses, Zero also saw a few skeletons. They were wearing the uniforms of the research laboratory personnel. They should be the unlucky ones who were trapped here when the base mutated and had no time to evacuate, and eventually died.
Zero found an electronic identity card in the jacket pocket of one of the skeletons, with the words "Dr. Andura" written on the electronic card. He put away the electronic card. With this electronic card, he should be able to travel anywhere in the base.
Suddenly, Zero heard a faint sound in his ears. Replaying the sound in his mind, Zero automatically created a picture of a pair of soles stepping on the ground.
somebody is coming!
It's just that the base has been occupied for so long, who knows if the guys still living in the base can still be called human beings? Zero quickly came to a row of intact specimen containers, and then saw several figures coming in from another exit of the specimen room. The bodies of these people are all alienated. Their skin is covered with scale-like cuticles, their hands and feet are distorted to varying degrees, and some are simply a pair of animal claws.
The head still maintains the appearance of a human being, but both men and women are bald, but the eyes are gray and white, which looks very weird. After they came in, under the command of a particularly strong man, these people broke some specimen containers near zero, and then took out the specimens of alien animals inside. Some even put the specimens under their noses and smelled them, and they seemed to have the idea of treating the specimens as food.
Zero was sure that such a specimen would not taste so delicious. But for these people, the specimens in the container seem to be their only food in the base. Who are they? Is it the researchers of the original base, or is it a product of some kind of biochemical technology like those strange insects outside
