Channel D is used by rescue team Shen Xin and Luke when they arrive.
This time the female major brought the passage setting key, which can be reopened from the inside to the outside as long as the passage is not absolutely locked. From then on, that passage will become the main entrance and exit door.
It was said to be a station, but after entering the platform, Miao Pu discovered that what was waiting for everyone was not a tram like the one in the game "Resident Evil", but a strange large tram freight elevator.
The elevator track extends diagonally down at an angle of about 45 degrees. When the three gates of the tunnel slowly open, people who enter for the first time feel like they are entering the netherworld.
The reason why Miao Pu felt bad was naturally the heightened alarm of his danger instinct. Now he had figured out that the danger came from the depths of this windy tunnel.
People who have not experienced it personally cannot imagine the shock that a tunnel with a length of more than 1 kilometer at an angle of 45 degrees will bring to people.
Miao Pu thought to himself: "No wonder the five tunnels are owned by various factions. The investment in this tunnel alone will probably be able to build several skyscrapers."
After the freight elevator arrived, Miao Pu roughly calculated that the vertical distance from the surface should not be less than 1,200 meters.
Theoretically, at such a depth, the temperature is already extremely high, but the temperature here is only about 5 degrees Celsius. However, no one pays attention to this detail now. People are shocked by the scenery in front of them.
"How...how could this happen!" Qian Lihang opened his eyes wide and murmured almost subconsciously.
A forest growing underground, with a sapphire blue color, can be seen as far as the eye can see. The wind blows, and the forest sea is rustling with waves.
Accommodating this magnificent forest is a huge dome. The height of this dome is more than 100 meters. There are luminous stones on the dome. Looking up, the field of vision is full of stars, just like standing on a mountain on a clear night.
The scene you see when you look up at the sky is spectacular.
The most critical thing is that neither the dome shining like stars nor the sapphire forest is what it should be. To be more precise, they are very different from what was mentioned in the information before the operation.
Kang Danian had been here once before, so he acted relatively calmly and assigned tasks in an orderly manner.
Shen Xin and Luke serve as guides, while Miao Pu serves as their chief guard and the eyes of the entire group.
During this operation, the female major did not follow. She stayed at the underground station with the soldiers who needed to rest and a few guards. While ensuring that the underground station served as a backup terminal, it was also her job to maintain communication with Dongyuan Town and the new rescue team.
.
However, Miao Pu felt that the latter goal was probably impossible to achieve.
As soon as he entered the dome, he felt a sensation. The energy here, including heat energy, was absorbed so much that non-wired communication would not be able to function normally.
Sure enough, Zhou Shuai reported that communication could not be used.
This situation was expected in Kangdanian. There are cables including communication at the top of the tunnel. What the rescue team has to do is to replace the communication equipment at this end and provide it with a new energy access to connect with the underground.
Communication at the station will be restored.
There are full-time personnel to do this. Miao Pu took advantage of his free time to ask Shen Xin and Luke about the general route to the entrance of another passage.
"The ruins are roughly divided into three areas, the core area, the radiation area, and the outer ring." Compared with the silent Luke, Shen Xin is obviously more sociable, and has a lively style, not a bitch. She explained: "We
This operation only involves the outer ring..."
Hearing this, Miao Pu glanced at the scenery in the dome and thought: "The outer ring, that is to say, what you see in front of you are all man-made products. As the source of origin, huge changes have taken place here, which is reasonable.
middle."
Ready-made parts were replaced and the communication system was repaired in ten minutes.
The elevator is taken away, the gate is closed, and the team leaves.
The span of the dome is about 1.5 kilometers, and it is full of trees, tall and tall, with leafy branches, and the path that the group of people walked went straight through the jungle.
The stars-like stones did not provide enough lighting, the road was dark, and even with night vision goggles, the visible area was very limited.
Fortunately, they had to wire all the way, so the team was not moving very fast, and the road was only straight, with Miao Pu and other three awakened people taking the lead.
Miao Pu soon noticed that unlike him who paid attention to the plants on both sides of the road, Shen Xin and Luke both paid attention to the walking stones, and they had a tacit understanding that one person was responsible for one side. As for the strange and mysterious plant jungle, it was basically
Not even a glance.
He also discovered that this kind of street stone is like a street tree, with one at regular intervals, and the spacing is extremely precise. It is made of bluestone, has a cylindrical shape, and is full of abstract patterns carved on the outside... which makes him easily associate it with
Purifier in the lounge.
"Could it be..." Miao Pu had some guesses in his mind.
A few meters behind the three people are the main bodies of the rescue team, Kang Danian and Jiang Shangqing, one at the head and the other at the tail, restraining the soldiers' behavior: try to walk in the middle, don't touch the pavement stones, let alone cross.
boundary.
Along the way, people were a little worried, but in fact they didn't encounter anything unusual.
When the end of the jungle loomed, Miao Pu saw another dome. The one connected to the jungle dome was obviously much smaller, and there were heavy traces of artificial carvings, including the top.
About 2 minutes later, Luke and Shen Xin also saw the end of the jungle one after another. The two of them suddenly couldn't hold back and obviously accelerated their pace. After leaving the jungle area, their expressions showed obvious relief, as if they had just left.
It was a sea of swords and fire, and they had been enduring it.
Miao Pu knew what they were afraid of. Yes, it was this jungle. More to the point, this strange plant.
He made a mistake before. He thought that the core of the purifier's energy-taking and amazing ability to energize and absorb matter was the technology from the Source Civilization.
This is wrong. What can do this is actually the vine-like plant, a technological product of civilization. It is only responsible for regulation.
This jungle has the same characteristics as the earth drum vine, and the walking stones form an invisible arched corridor. If you accidentally leave this corridor, people will be sucked dry instantly, even the awakened ones are no exception.
.
In addition, Miao Pu discovered that there were other creatures in the jungle.
The particularity of the environment meant that his perception could only be limited to the area protected by the walking stones, but his sense of danger had no boundaries. It was the change in his sense of danger that allowed him to know that there was something in the jungle while their group was traveling.
Some powerful and malicious creatures were peeping and following, but they didn't know if it was this kind of creature that Luke and Shen Xin were afraid of.
There are some rooms in the small dome, which look a bit like the military barracks of the Shepa Yanggu underground base, but the scale is much smaller and the facilities are simpler.
Through previous exchanges, Miao Pu already knew that this was a farming station.
It took less than 5 minutes for Miao Pu to walk around the perimeter of the small square in the center of the farmland reclamation station. Then he told Kang Danian that there was no other living thing here except them.
Kang Danian now naturally trusted Miao Pu's ability very much. As soon as he waved his hand, the soldiers immediately divided into two groups and started taking action.
The cabin-type isolable design of the agricultural reclamation station played an important role. After 15 minutes, the power was restored and the sealing work was successfully completed. At this point, the first phase of the operation was completed without any danger.
Taking advantage of the team's break, Miao Pu followed Kang Danian and went through all the details of the farm station.
There are no corpses, no bloodstains, no traces of fighting, slightly messy...
Based on various observations, it is speculated that this place only experienced one destruction by people fleeing after the source of change. After that, it seems to have been vacant and abandoned, and has not been visited.
The two returned to the temporary command room. The communication equipment had been activated, and Jiang Shangqing was reporting the situation to Dongyuan Town.
With the dedicated line, video signal transmission has become possible. Although the data signal is seriously interfered with in the above-ground area, Dongyuan Town still has a general understanding of the new changes in the agricultural reclamation area.
Compared to the worries caused by the various dangers brought about by the new changes, the leaders in Dongyuan Town showed more excitement. Even Miao Pu, who had just returned, felt this.
"I'm sorry, sir. Our strongest combat force is extremely tired due to continuous battles and is injured, so it is impossible to complete the response mission." As for the frontline of the new action team, including 10 scientific researchers, which will be sent from above.
Jiang Shangqing came and asked Miao Pu by name to take over the order, but Jiang Shangqing refused with a serious face.
The other party was obviously unhappy. He changed the topic and harshly asked the rescue team to restore the function of the channel used by the first rescue team before dawn.
After ending this communication, Jiang Shangqing said to Miao Pu with an apologetic look: "This is often the case. When the status of frontline officers and soldiers cannot be accurately judged in the rear..."
Miao Pu smiled and expressed his understanding. Obviously, the problem was not what Jiang Shangqing said. The superiors saw the value of the agricultural reclamation area after the change, so they wanted to take it into their hands as soon as possible and start the work of capturing the value.
Of course, Jiang Shangqing didn't just obey his orders, so there was no need for him to expose the truth.
Even if this matter was revealed, it would only leave some bad impression in Miao Pu's heart.
After a brief rest, the rescue team set off again.
At the end of the small dome is another platform. This time it finally feels a bit like riding a rail car, but it is a mine car level. It has no roof and is very simple to build. And because of a power failure, it can only be used
Rickshaw head.
It is really a very simple and classic push-lever type front end, which can be driven by one person or two people.
The lighting system of the tunnel was not working. Even if a high-power flashlight was temporarily installed in front of the front of the car, the lighting range of more than 20 meters was still useless.
Miao Pu stood at the front of the car, frowning. He didn't feel any supernatural power. In this environment, the Yin power should be strong, but now there is none. This means that he had simplified things before. Photo
Yes, it's not just the mutant jungle in the underground farming station.
Not far behind Miao Pu, Shen Xin and Luke both pursed their lips and looked serious and slightly nervous. They had walked this road before and they knew what they might encounter on this road.
"What can you encounter? It's nothing more than a monster!" Until now, Luke's expression and tone when he said this still often come to mind, mocking his arrogance with an absolute irony.
Shen Xin, looking at Miao Pu's straight back, had a different mood. To be honest, she hated Miao Pu a little, hated Miao Pu's power and strength, especially the latter.
In her opinion, Miao Pu's kind of strength was the most incomprehensible. There was no comparison with the kind of strength achieved by attitude and stance.
Miao Pu's strength comes from his overly outstanding contribution. To put it exaggeratedly, it is like one person can save the world. It is open to question whether other people who act with him can be counted as high as the stars in the moon.
Such people unknowingly influence everyone, making people instinctively pay attention to their choices and consider them carefully. Like this time, she originally meant to walk over, but Miao Pu quietly occupied
The front of the car was in the front position, so naturally, people got on the car one after another, and the front of the rickshaw was also driven over to pick it up, and then the current scene happened.
The cold wind is whistling. Not only is the temperature in the tunnel low, but the air is also fresh, which is no better than the surface. What's more, there is no man-made pollution here.
Both Kang Danian and Jiang Shangqing discovered this abnormality. Although Kang Danian was eager to save people and was not afraid of sacrifice, he was always very careful in his specific actions. He stepped forward and kindly reminded Miao Pu of this situation, adding at the end
: "Look, is this weird?"
Miao Pu said calmly: "The walls, ceilings, and floors along the way are all occupied by moss-like plants. They are very capable as heat insulation layers and oxygen generators."
Miao Pu did not lower his voice deliberately. Luke behind him also heard it, and he immediately retorted: "Moss? Impossible, you can't see it at all, and you can't sense it."
"What I'm talking about is mosses, which are defined based on the way they exist. They are much smaller than ordinary mosses, fluffy, and translucent. In addition, don't trust too much in your own senses.
You are close to earth-type powers, but there is always someone with a higher affinity than you."
As he spoke, Miao Pu raised his hand and flicked his fingers, and a ball of new green light was shot onto the tunnel wall. In the diffuse light, there were faint whisker-like crazy growths. Even with the eyesight of Shen Xin and Luke, they could see
It was nothing more than a fluctuating shadow like a heat wave, but this was obviously enough to prove Miao Pu's words.
Fear is mostly caused by the unknown. Now that a master like Miao Pu is showing his confidence, everyone in the rescue team seems to be much calmer, at least the officers and soldiers except Shen Xin and Luke are like this.
After walking for about a mile, Miao Pu suddenly said: "Brake the brakes."
The wording was not harsh, and the driver naturally did not brake suddenly. After traveling for more than ten meters, Luke and Shen Xin realized that the area ahead was the area they had fought and destroyed before.
When the rail car came to a slow stop, the road ahead was cut off, and the entire tunnel was basically blocked by earth and rocks, with the effect similar to a landslide.
Miao Pu turned his head and glanced at Luke. It was natural that Luke, who had the ability to carry the earth element, would carry the earth and rocks.
Luke smiled bitterly. This landslide was indeed his work, but it was always easier to destroy it. Now he was asked to dig alone, but he didn't have the ability.
When he explained the situation, Kang Danian was helpless and could only organize manpower to dig.
Shen Xin reminded you to pay attention to the danger. The earth and rocks are not compacted. There may be gaps and monsters.
Luke was the main force, and the soldiers moved and dredged the concrete into lumps. After working for an hour, they finally cleared a lane of less than 10 meters that could only accommodate one person.
Kang Danian was about to call the soldiers to stop working and take a rest. Miao Pu, who had been standing idle near the entrance with his arms folded, suddenly took action.
The silk vines **** immediately entangled the three warriors in the passage and yanked them back. The three of them were pulled directly and fell out. Qian Lihang, who was in charge of passing earth and rocks near the entrance of the passage, was more clever.
, as soon as he saw Miao Pu making a move, he immediately jumped out.
That is to say, the side wall of the simple passage cracked at the front and rear legs, and several luminous tentacles broke out of the ground, dancing wildly like a whip, and the clods of soil that had been frozen by Luke were smashed into pieces.
"Everyone retreat!" Miao Pu shouted in a deep voice.
The officers and soldiers, including Kang Danian, quickly retreated, holding guns in their hands.
The few people who were pulled out before the monster attacked were not slow in their movements, but their postures were not very elegant, and they were rolling and crawling.
Shen Xin and Luke also showed no signs of awakening, so they withdrew with the soldiers.
Miao Pu took out the Type 92 modification from the side of his leg, raised his hand and fired, then put away the gun in the next second.
Bullets pose little threat to this kind of monster. Through sensing Miao Pu, he has discovered that most of the kinetic energy of the bullet is absorbed by the tentacles, and the rest is lost in the air. After losing kinetic energy, the warhead is unable to cause any effective damage to the monster's tough body.
hurtful.
His Type 92 modification is slightly less powerful than the AK, while the firearms used by Kang Danian and others are more powerful than the AK, but their power is very limited.
The monster had already rushed into the simple passage. It missed a single hit and rushed out along the exit. Miao Pu directly faced it.
Swish, swish, swish! The sword flashed, and suddenly it appeared and recovered. Many of the monster's tentacles were cut off and scattered on the ground. Its torso was also cut off with a knife, and the corpse was twitching in the glowing blue blood.
The monster was dealt with quickly, but Miao Pu was not happy. Any monster would have him use the birth saber that was comparable to the source device. What is even more troublesome is that the environment here is very unfriendly to the awakened, and the energy lost is only
The energy is provided by his body, and it is impossible to achieve the energy intake under normal circumstances.
Miao Pu raised his right arm, which meant that the alarm was lifted. Kang Danian and others gathered around. After seeing the true appearance of the monster, both of them looked strange.
It was a lean man, deformed into a shape close to that of a wolf, and covered with tentacles from the back of his head to his back and buttocks. He almost looked like this kind of monster.
First of all, it can be roughly determined that it was once a human being. In this underground world, even if it is only the outer ring, there is only one type of human being, the target of rescue.
Researchers turning into monsters is definitely one of the last things the rescue team wants to see.
Qian Lihang slung the assault rifle behind his back, took out his Colt Python and shot it at the corpse. After seeing the effect, he whispered: "Who said that the environment of the ruins is more suitable for ordinary people to fight?
Why can’t I see it at all?”
When Qian Lihang fired, Kang Danian and Jiang Shangqing could see clearly that the monster's body, which was not completely dead, still had strong energy-absorbing capabilities. Its operating characteristics were: first turn the dots into faces, and then the bullets would hit them.
Circles of light spread on its surface like asbestos annealing, and then were completely absorbed during the diffusion process.
In other words, unless the attack against it is strong enough to break through its energy absorption limit per unit time, this monster can be said to be nearly invincible.
Shortly after this, the cave-in was opened by taking advantage of the gap where the monster had previously been.
