Chapter 627: Tram and Mutation (please vote for the super large chapter)
When He Ao rushed over, the steel gorilla monster also picked up a huge steel beam on the ground.
Waving the steel beam, he rushed towards He Ao.
The steel beam was seven or eight meters long, and when it was swung it made a roaring sound.
This monster was obviously stunned by He Ao's sudden blow just now, and did not dare to let He Ao get close.
But this was not the first time He Ao had to deal with this kind of monster wielding a long-handled weapon. He jumped up and landed on the steel beam wielded by the monster with a somersault. Then he took a step again and flew towards the target like a nimble bird.
The side of the monster.
Before the orangutan could react, the white bone sword blade cut into his left arm.
First, it was transmitted to He Ao's hand and felt like a sharp blade piercing the flesh, with a slightly cushioning feel, and then there was a crisp stagnation, as if it hit some kind of metal.
Underneath the flesh and blood of this monster's skin is a solid metal interior.
However, He Ao was not surprised. It would be strange if the monster in this spaceship did not have some metal.
He pushed the hilt of the sword forward, putting his body over the monster's shoulders, then turned around, held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and followed the force of the jump and fall, and pulled hard.
squeak——
With a crisp and sharp sound, the metal in the monster's arm was suddenly cut off, and the entire arm fell off, and red blood with a gray gleam splashed out.
"Roar--"
The huge orangutan roared in pain, clamped the steel beam with one hand, and spun towards He Ao who jumped behind him.
He Ao jumped upwards to avoid this attack.
At this time, Ye Yun finally reacted. He rushed towards the orangutan monster, jumped up, and struck the orangutan's back with a knife, splitting the flesh and blood on its back, revealing the silver-white metal.
The orangutan was in pain, and the movement of his hands stopped.
At the same time, He Ao seized the opportunity and threw the bone sword in his hand, and then he suddenly jumped up following the sword light.
The flying bone sword pierced the orangutan's eye. He Ao, who followed closely, grabbed the hilt of the sword and stepped on the shoulders of the orangutan monster. The power gathered in his arms and he suddenly exerted force.
Lift the hilt of the sword.
At that moment, bright red blood splashed out, and a snow-white sword blade emerged from the head of the orangutan monster.
This sword directly cut open the metal skull of the orangutan monster vertically.
Along with the splash of blood, He Ao's movements did not stop. He used the action of lifting the sword upwards and jumped off the monster with a somersault.
Land smoothly.
The energy gathering point of this orangutan monster is on the left arm and head.
"it's over."
He Ao wiped the blood off the bone sword and put the bone sword back into the scabbard on his back.
And behind him, the huge orangutan monster fell forward.
Then He Ao turned around, walked to the monster, cut the monster's body open, quickly found a few gray energy blocks, and put them in his pocket.
After these few battles, he has vaguely found some patterns in the appearance of these energy blocks.
They usually appear around the monster's energy gathering points, or around the largest energy lines.
And only monsters of C level and above will have this kind of energy block.
Although this gorilla monster is not strong, it has quite a lot of energy blocks and should be able to fire two and a half rounds of plasma cannon.
While cleaning the battlefield, He Ao also turned on the flashlight and carefully looked at the surrounding scene.
The ground in the core area was covered with more blood stains than in the annular cabin, and the solidified blood had formed a thick layer of 'scab' on the ground.
Perhaps because no one has been here for a long time, the traces left by people walking on the ground are extremely obvious.
After a short search, the light of the flashlight shone to the left front.
"There are footprints there, very fast, and there are new signs of destruction around it. This proves that before we came, there was a small-scale battle there. It should be the place where Yvel and the orangutan fought."
He raised his feet and walked in that direction.
"Ah? Is it over?"
Ye Yun, who was standing there with a big sword in his hand and had not yet made the next move, finally recovered from the battle just now.
Before he made the next attack, this monster was gone? Even the battlefield was cleared?
He glanced at the orangutan monster on the ground, swallowed, quickly put away his sword, and followed He Ao's footsteps and walked over.
He knew what the energy block He Ao had just rummaged through was. He Ao had actually mentioned this thing when describing his experience to him before.
It seems to be the crystallization of some kind of energy.
The two had just discussed in the elevator that if they encountered such a small piece of loot, they would let He Ao take it first, and then distribute it according to the level of contribution after leaving the ruins.
This plan was proposed by Ye Yun, because He Ao is obviously stronger and can keep more loot even if there is a problem and he needs to run away.
He Ao didn't have any objections to this. Such a small thing wouldn't take up much space in his pocket.
"The footprints look very rushed."
Ye Yun also turned on his flashlight and looked in the direction He Ao pointed.
Faint footprints were exposed in the blood stains on the ground, leading to the deep dark depths.
"He ran forward?"
Ye Yun looked in the direction where the footprints extended.
The footprints were more obvious than he expected. It was obvious that Yvel's walk was not that smooth at that time.
"He Ao, are we going to chase him now?"
He turned to look at He Ao who was standing beside him, staring at the footprints and saying nothing.
"Wait a moment."
He Ao said softly, then he squatted down and carefully looked at the footprints on the ground with a flashlight.
After a short pause, he shined the flashlight to the left and right sides.
The place where they are now is the entrance to the corridor connecting this hall to the outside world, and those footprints lead to the depths of the corridor.
At this time, there was a flat, vertical metal wall on their left, and an empty curved hall wall on their right.
He Ao shined the flashlight into the corridor on the left, then stood up slowly and carefully looked at the walls of the corridor.
He reached out his hand and knocked gently.
Dong dong dong——
There is a hollow sound behind the wall. Collection
Then he pressed his hand on the wall and exerted force.
Click——
An 'invisible door' was suddenly pushed open by him.
The door gap is cleverly designed and hidden in the surrounding walls.
The light in the corridor is very dark, and the walls are mixed with blood stains, which is difficult to see without looking carefully.
Behind this door was a dark space like an abyss. He Ao raised his flashlight and illuminated it forward.
A downward staircase extending into the darkness appeared in their sight.
At the same time, the faint footprints on the stairs also appeared in the sight of the two people along with these stairs.
"Evel goes here!"
Ye Yun finally came to his senses. He glanced deep into the stairs, "What is this place? A secret passage? An emergency staircase."
Then he looked at He Ao, "He Ao, how do you know the direction he is walking in?"
"footprint,"
He Ao used the flashlight to shine on the footprints leading deep into the corridor in front of them, and then walked towards the stairs, with Ye Yun following behind him.
He Ao walked forward and explained, "Ji
"The footprints just walking from the hall were very light. Starting from the entrance of the corridor, the footprints became heavier and became obviously hasty. However, in fact, there were no traces of fighting on both sides of the entire corridor. In other words, Yi
Weir had actually gotten rid of the orangutan monster through some method at that time, and his situation was not dangerous."
"But he still pretended to be in a hurry. The purpose was to make us trackers misjudge and go deeper into the corridor."
Ye Yun answered, "But his footprints are only forward, not backward."
"Just walk backwards."
He Ao used a flashlight to shine around.
This kind of delicate operation is easy for extraordinary people and is not unusual. He Ao has also encountered it in the dungeon world.
“So That’s So,” Episode
Ye Yun also understood instantly. He followed He Ao's line of sight and looked around. Although the entrance to the stairs was hidden, the blood stains were no less than those outside. He could almost imagine how terrible the killings had taken place here.
, "How do I feel that Evel seems to know that we are following him?"
"Maybe just out of caution, just in case."
He Ao answered.
The two of them quickly reached the corner of the stairs and continued going down, following the footprints in front of them.
Ye Yun's clothes scraped against the wall. He turned to look to his side. In the residual light of the flashlight, he could see deep marks on the metal wall that looked like they had been scratched by fingernails.
When a civilization is destroyed, no one can escape the final fate.
"What's wrong?" episode
He Ao stopped and looked at him.
"fine,"
Ye Yun withdrew his gaze, "I was just thinking about what terrible things happened in this spaceship. Judging from the use of extraordinary power shown in the ruins, there may also be powerful extraordinary beings on this spaceship.
Yes, but they seemed unable to prevent this disaster."
"This is why the institute wants to explore the ruins."
He Ao turned his head and continued to move forward.
"Right."
Ye Yun nodded. He retracted his thoughts and continued to follow He Ao's footsteps. Then he smiled and said, "He Ao, you don't seem to be afraid at all."
He Ao raised his head and glanced at the silent darkness around him, "Maybe it's because I have many friends."
As they gradually went down, the pollution around them became more and more intense.
However, it is not strong enough to interfere with C-level consciousness.
Soon, after passing several stairs and corners, a half-open iron door appeared in their sight, and the footprints in front of them disappeared behind the iron door.
He Ao stopped and looked around with a flashlight.
Among the mottled bloodstains, he saw a half-detached sign on the wall, with what appeared to be a rail vehicle drawn on the sign.
"Evel seems to have entered from this way."
Ye Yunmao was at the door, looking carefully at the darkness behind the door, "I feel like there is something behind this door?"
And just as he was speaking, a bloody human face fell from above and suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
"ah!"
He was startled, picked up the sword and slashed forward.
With blood splattering, the object in front of him split into two halves.
"What's this?"
Only now did he have time to look at the thing on the ground that he had cut off.
"Looks like a bat."
He Ao came over and looked at the body on the ground.
It was a huge bat with a height of about 1.78 meters, but what was different from ordinary bats was that this bat had a blood-stained human face with wide eyes and fear on its head.
"This thing is not very strong, probably only D-level," Ye Yun glanced at his feet and recovered from the shock, "but it does look a bit scary."
Then he glanced behind the door and said, "There seems to be a very vast hall inside."
"bad news."
He Ao walked to Ye Yun.
"ah?"
Ye Yun looked at He Ao.
"Bats are social animals, and hundreds or thousands of them often gather together."
He Ao said slowly.
"ah!?"
Ye Yun was stunned.
At this moment, in the dark hall, with the dim light of the flashlight, blood-stained human faces emerged one after another.
"Fuck!"
Ye Yun was frightened, drew out his sword and rushed into the darkness ahead, "The best way to defeat fear is to face it head-on!"
He roared, swung his machete, and struck one at a time, causing blood to fly and the severed limbs of the bat to scatter.
He Ao:?
So fierce?
He also rushed into the hall.
However, compared to Ye Yun's wildly dancing sword, his movements are much simpler. Basically, at the moment when the human-faced bat rushes over, he then raises his sword and chops the bat into pieces.
Or spin the sword flower and chop several bats around you at the same time, trying to ensure strength and rhythm.
However, he also discovered that these human-faced bats also have the photophobia characteristics of ordinary bats.
Therefore, using a flashlight to shine can effectively drive away some bats.
But they will also drive their companions to block the light of the flashlight, so this method is not particularly effective.
He Ao's figure rotated in the darkness, and the flashlight in his hand kept changing directions. Soon, he discovered a bright passage in the distance.
In the entire hall, only that one passage was dimly lit, and there were no bats around it.
He Ao moved his figure next to Ye Yun.
At this moment, Ye Yun was still carrying a knife and killing indiscriminately.
His fighting basically relies on instinctive fighting skills, which is somewhat disorganized.
"That way!"
He Ao walked up to him, pointed at the lighted passage with his flashlight, and shouted loudly.
This time, Ye Yun understood He Ao's shout. Without any hesitation, he followed He Ao. The two of them moved quickly among the bats and ran toward the passage.
Along the way, they met many metal skeletons. It seemed that these bats made a living by hunting other monsters.
While they were running away, the bats seemed to be aware of their thoughts and began to rush in crazily.
Several times, there were so many of them that they even grabbed Ye Yun's arm and lifted him up.
Then it was smashed into pieces by Ye Yun's crazy sword.
It took the two of them a while to break out of the bats and enter the bright passage.
After touching the light of the passage, the bats in the dense darkness quickly retreated, surrounding the passage, watching the two people through the hazy darkness.
"Ah! I hate bats the most."
Ye Yun leaned against the wall and slipped to the ground exhausted.
Most of the clothes on his body were torn and hung in tatters on his body.
He Ao's condition is better, because his fighting rhythm is more controlled, but his clothes are also damaged in many places.
"eat something?"
He Ao took out a compressed biscuit and a solid energy bar from the dry food bag he brought with him.
"No, I'll take it with me too."
Ye Yun smiled and took out his compressed biscuits, water and canned meat from his pocket.
The material of the dry food bag is much tougher than the clothes, just to prevent such possible close combat.
The two of them also took out the self-heating food packets in their bags and ate them.
They have been here for so long and are very tired. This is the first time they have eaten.
After finishing their meal quickly, the two tidied up and looked towards the passage where they were now.
This passage was different from the one they had taken before. It was a crossroads. Except for the entrance where they were standing now, there were three forks in front of them. There were no traces of Ivel's footprints on the ground. It seemed to have been specially erased.
"Which way are we going?"
Ye Yun held the knife and looked at the fork in the passage.
He Ao walked to the three forks in the road.
I shined a flashlight on the ground.
In order to avoid exposing his traces, Ivel did not change anything on the three forks and left no traces.
"Will this guy leave through other channels?"
Ye Yun glanced around, and there was indeed no trace here.
"It should have been through some methods that no traces were left, but he did come in."
When He Ao was fighting just now, he looked around carefully and found traces of the battle in the dark hall.
Yvel has not escaped the entanglement of these bats.
And the only light that can drive away bats is this channel.
He held up his flashlight and walked to the three forks in the road.
There are no signs on the walls of these three forks.
He Ao used his flashlight to shine deep into the fork in the road. Soon, he discovered something on the left hand fork in the road. He walked in, squatted down, and picked out a piece with most of the color in the deeper part of the fork in the road.
Falling iron plate.
"This is?"
Ye Yun looked at the iron plate. The patterns and words on the iron plate were blurred, but traces of a railcar pattern could be vaguely seen.
"It looks like some kind of subway or tram sign."
He Ao pointed the iron plate in his hand to the wall at the entrance of the fork on the left. There was a vague mark there that seemed to be used to inlay the iron plate. Set
"He's looking for a tram?
Ye Yun reacted instantly and clapped his hands, "Yes, although the area we are in now is also the core area, it actually corresponds to the annular cabin outside. Theoretically, the responsibilities of this area are the same as those outside.
The annular cabin won't be too different. There won't be a core control system here.
"And if Ivel wants to gain control of this spacecraft, he will definitely find a way to enter the core control room of this spacecraft. If he goes there, he will definitely encounter various monsters. But
It would be different if there were trams...
"This spacecraft is so long and has so many sections. It is normal to have a railcar that runs through the core area to facilitate the crew's travel."
He paused and looked at He Ao, "He wants to use the tram to enter a more central area!"
"Um."
He Ao nodded. His thoughts were basically what Ye Yun had just summarized. He glanced at the deep passage.
Ye Yun also looked deep into the passage.
The two of them walked quickly along the passage.
——
Main World·Lochran Street
Bright sunlight rises from the eastern sky.
He Ao glanced at the empty coffee cup, exited the computer's reporting interface, and then looked at the time on the computer.
Set at 6:00 am sharp.
Theoretically, people who entered the ruins should return by now.
