Half an hour later, under the introduction of Ye Yang Qingyan, Chen Xing met the principal elder in charge of this operation.

The office of Notre Dame was tidied up, without the hustle and bustle of the past. The floor was covered with carved carpets, and a crystal lamp hung from the top. Leandre Ralph was dressed in a white robe, sitting at a small round table, drinking

While drinking coffee, I chatted quietly with my third uncle.

Chen Xing stood nearby and waited for a long time before he found an opportunity to tell the elder about the discovery of steam silkworms while he was drinking coffee.

"You mean..." The elder stopped drinking coffee, frowned, and asked with some uncertainty, "Earth Dragon?"

Earth Dragon is the alias of Steam Silkworm, and its full name is "Underground Dragon".

"Yes, Sir Elder." Chen Xing lowered his head and said.

"Crack!"

The elder stood up suddenly, the white porcelain cup in his hand was crushed directly, and the coffee spilled on his hand, steaming white.

The third uncle also opened his eyes wide with a shocked expression.

The dragon is the most powerful existence in human legends. Being able to have a relationship with a dragon is self-evident.

"Chen Xing, this is no joke!" After being stunned for a few seconds, the third uncle stood up and reminded him seriously.

"I saw it with my own eyes." Chen Xing said with certainty, without any wavering in his voice.

"Oh my god..." The elder sighed, looked at each other with his third uncle, and then made a gesture of invitation, "Let's go and see the scene together."

More than an hour later, Leander inspected the scene and immediately ordered the exploration to stop. At first, the children of the aristocratic family complained and were very resistant to the elder's decision, but after seeing the photos of the scene, they all chose to remain silent.

The horror of steam silkworms is only known to those who have actually faced it.

Wearing heavy armor, they are invulnerable, powered by steam, and are extremely powerful. An adult steam silkworm can destroy an entire town when angry. The high-temperature rays emitted from the main eye on its forehead can instantly melt the strongest steel in the world.

Chen Xing saw with his own eyes that a row of mechas were hit by rays and instantly broke into two pieces. Molten iron continued to gush out from the cuts, which was extremely terrifying.

After all personnel were evacuated, yellow warning tapes were put up at all entrances to prohibit passage.

"Didi... Didi..."

At three o'clock in the middle of the night, Chen Xing was woken up by the beep of the black watch. He called up the properties menu and browsed through it.

Then, he began to put on his clothes and hat, and organize his equipment. Not long after, he arrived at the entrance of Area A in the dark.

"Boss, boss, what are you doing?" The person responsible for guarding was a member of the third team. Because Chen Xing was wearing goggles, it took him a long time to recognize him.

"Shh, don't make any noise, don't mention it to anyone." Chen Xing pushed up his goggles and said.

"But, but..." The team member held it in for a while before asking, "Isn't there danger inside?"

"Just be careful." Chen Xing said perfunctorily. He knew the specific location of the steam silkworms and was sure not to disturb them, but he would not tell them.

"Okay, please pay attention to your safety." The team members said respectfully. Chen Xing was very kind to his subordinates and received sincere care and admiration.

Chen Xing pulled down his goggles, picked up the assault rifle, turned on the flashlight tied to the barrel, and walked into the dark tunnel.

At this moment, he is wearing a black steel helmet, goggles, bandages around his mouth and nose, long boots on his feet, trousers tucked in, buckled up one by one with belts, and his arms and calves are tied with plastic steel.

Armor. The whole body is sealed tightly.

This equipment is designed to deal with corpse crickets. Once they come into contact with the skin, they can bite and burrow in, and then he will be doomed.

The incandescent beam swept back and forth, and the soil was mixed with broken insect shells and bullet casings, as well as some pieces of meat and blood. The air was filled with the smell of sweat, blood, and gun smoke.

After a while, he came to the first area, the civilian rest area. Although these places had been explored repeatedly, he still slowed down and moved forward cautiously. Now that he was alone, he had to be more cautious.

"Shashasha..."

The sound of friction between the cement floor, sand and shoe uppers came from under my feet. Although it was very small, it was particularly clear in this empty and silent environment.

At half past four, he followed the original path to the research institute area and began exploring new rooms.

"Crack, bang, bang!"

After twisting the wheel, a gap opened in the iron door, and a large number of corpses immediately poured out.

Their bodies are flat, the elytra on their backs are shiny, and two arc-shaped insect pincers protrude from their jaws. They open and close. Their dense numbers make one's scalp numb.

Facing the swarming zombies, Chen Xing was well prepared. He pulled out the burning stick inserted into his lower back, unscrewed the cap, and rubbed it hard on his arm armor. With a "chi" sound, the tip of the stick spurted out incandescent liquid.

Fireworks.

Driven by the flames, the corpse crickets made a harsh insect chirp and moved around to both sides.

Chen Xing stood where he was, not daring to move. A flood of zombies crawled under his feet, densely packed with an unknown number.

After about thirty or forty seconds, all the zombies were gone. Chen Xing moved his stiff arms and threw the burning rod into the room.

The incandescent firelight immediately illuminated the surrounding area, and the room was full of broken glassware. Chen Xing walked in, looked around, and found that it was a chemical laboratory.

"Pang Rang!"

When he turned to the next room, he accidentally touched a glass test tube, which made a crisp sound when it fell to the ground.
Chapter completed!
