The situation underground is roughly the same as what Wu Changfeng said.

The narrow and dark passage is more than three meters tall, which basically matches the height of the ancient mutants.

The tunnel floor was covered with gravel and powdery substance, presumably excreted by an ancient mutant.

Chu Ci lowered the brightness of the shoulder-mounted lighting equipment.

According to Wu Changfeng, this ancient mutant has a strong response to light, and staying underground all year round causes serious degeneration of the eyes, and the stronger the light, the more irritating the creature.

Before the three of them could move forward, Haijue jumped down.

Chu Ci was a little unhappy.

The limit of Jack Kid should be at most to carry two people to run, and his weight is seriously overweight, and he is obviously unable to run quickly on the premise of carrying two people on his shoulders and one on his back.

Haijue looked at Chu Ci and asked happily, "You don't seem to want me to go with me?"

Chu Ci, a selfish ghost, does everything to save others, and said angrily: "Jack Kid is a member of the Wanderers, if you can only run against two people, you must be one of them." ”

The implication is very clear, where to die and where to go.

Haijue said nonchalantly: "If you need to evacuate, I don't need Jack's help." ”

Chu Ci glanced at the small hand that Hai Jue was carrying, and looked suspicious: "With your hundred-year-old cold legs, it takes a lot of effort to walk, can you still run?"

"Worry about defeat before you win. Hai Jue teased: "How can the Ministry of Foreign Affairs rest assured that it will hand over the heavy responsibility to you, a coward." ”

Jack Kid laughed: "Don't worry, I will definitely ignore this old thing when the time comes, just run away with you, I have seen him unpleasant for a long time." ”

Haijue slammed his staff on the back of Jack's head.

Chu Ci was skeptical, and it was estimated that he would not be able to convince Haijue, so he could only give up.

Haijue dared to come down, he must have some support, and Chu Ci was really curious about what kind of unique abilities this old guy had.

The four of them walked in the dark underground passage, Yan Entropy and Haijue walked side by side, Chu Ci and Jack Kid were forced to see too far away, and the environment was too quiet, so they had to follow cautiously.

It is worth mentioning that it is not strange that Yan Entropy can see at night, but the strange thing is that Hai Jue actually closed his eyes and walked forward with some very strange perception ability, which was not much slower than Yan Entropy.

"As far as I know, the Devonian engineers are a race with a high incidence of neurons, and other than that, there is nothing special about it. Yan Entropy glanced sideways at Haijue and asked a little strangely, "What about you, as a descendant of the engineer family, you seem to have a unique ability, how do you discern the direction?"

"Sonic waves, ultrasound. Haijue, who closed his eyes, did not hide it, and explained with a smile: "Just like the bats in the earth's creatures, I have structures in my ears that can locate biological waves. ”

"Acquired evolution?"

"Yes, it evolved after living on Earth. "The light, humidity, temperature, and pressure of the Earth are very unique, and they are significantly different from the habitable planets of the Devonian period. ”

Yan Entropy shrugged his shoulders, not too interested.

But Chu Ci said thoughtfully: "Isn't this just like Superman, in Krypton, he is a dick silk class, and he is a group of cattle when he arrives on Earth?"

"No, it is rumored that all humanoid intelligent species in the three major galaxies of Shieldmaiden, Borderlands, and Devonian originated from Earth in the solar system, and after leaving Earth, in order to adapt to the environment of other stars in the universe, the ancient genomes in the body will be temporarily closed, and after returning to Earth, these genomes will be reopened, or mutated to form a new gene chain. ”

"Then why don't our original humans have these special features?"

"Who told you no?"

"Is there one?"

Haijue turned around, opened his eyes slightly, and said with an unfathomable look: "The creatures of the earth are not only human beings, at this stage, you are only the masters. ”

Chu Ci yawned and pretended not to understand.

He roughly understood what Haijue meant.

Tens of thousands or even hundreds of millions of years ago, the advanced intelligent life that left the earth was not necessarily human, or whether it was the current human, at least there was a significant difference.

Of course, there is another meaning.

This is like a rural girl going to a big city to be an Internet celebrity, before in the countryside, the skill points were all on farming, and when I went to a big city, the skill points of farming were temporarily useless, and then I learned skills such as PS beautification and filters, and after a few years, I returned to the countryside, farming will still be, and I will farm while opening a live broadcast of beauty.

Chu Ci snorted, looked at Jack Boy and laughed: "You can run so fast, your ancestor may be a husky." ”

Kid Jack plucked out his ears, and he was farting.

There are many species that run faster than huskies, and he thinks that if the genetic chain of his ancestors is related to animals, it is at least a cheetah, because huskies are too cheap, and this thing can't even beat the border herds.

After walking for a while, Yan Entropy and Haijue stopped together.

Chu Ci hurriedly took out his matching gun and hid his body behind Yan Entropy.

Yan Entropy was frightened: "Can you please stop putting your broken gun on my shoulder?"

"I'm afraid of Mao, this is a gun of justice, a gun of kindness. ”

"Have you ever learned to shoot?"

"You just need to grow in actual combat, you don't need to learn. ”

"Then don't shoot me. ”

Chu Ci didn't like this feeling of being distrusted, so he made up his mind that after completing the task and going back, he had to learn to shoot systematically.

Each squad leader in the combat command system is equipped with a gun, which can be kept privately and does not need to be handed over to the armory after each mission.

Chu Ci's gun is indeed called the gun of justice, and he has not fired a single shot until now, let alone shooting at the enemy, and the target has not been shot.

I studied with Wang Dafu for an afternoon before, but it was only theoretical, because there was no target to shoot.

Chu Ci squinted his eyes and looked into the silent distance, and asked quietly, "Why did you stop?"

"Very strong smell and we approached. ”

Haijue on the side also nodded slightly: "Yes, a large number of lifeforms." ”

"Eggs... Eggs for sure. Jack the boy babbled and said, "I watched it just now, it's dense, it's scary." ”

"Didn't you say it's an egg?"

"Like an egg, like an egg, like a maggot. ”

Chu Ci: "Like your uncle." ”

Haijue tilted his head, his ears were like radar, and he could still twist and turn half a circle at will.

"Kid Jack is right, these lifeforms are fixed to the wall, they are very small, they should be some kind of young eggs, and no lifeforms that are too large have been found. ”

Chu Ci patted Yan Entropy's shoulder.

"Don't say it, you two are a good match, one can smell and the other can see the picture. ”

Haijue waved his hand again and again, and said modestly: "No, no, no, the Devonian Royal Hunter's tracking ability is very strong, how can I compare it to the chaotic flames." ”

Yan Entropy squinted his eyes and said, "Old dick, it's good if you know." ”

Haijue: "... ”

Yan Entropy shook his shoulders: "Can you put your broken gun back, don't keep hanging on my shoulder." ”

"What are you afraid of, I can't shoot you. ”

"I'm afraid you'll shoot me and shock me. ”

"Didn't you say that if you shoot too close, you won't hear too much?"

Wang Dafu and Chu Ci said before that the person who fired the gun couldn't hear too much noise, and the specific principle was roughly explained, but Chu Ci forgot it.

Hai Jue smiled bitterly: "It's a voice that can't be heard by people who have been shot in the brain." ”

"Is it so amazing, why?"

"The moment the bullet touches the brain, the energy of the bullet will be transmitted to the brain in the form of a wave, and the bullet will not produce the slightest sound when it is launched and flying, but the moment it touches the brain, it will produce sound waves. ”

Chu Ci thought about it and felt that what the old man said was very reasonable, because he was shot in the head, he must have died directly, and of course he couldn't hear the sound.

As for what wave, what break, what band and so on, he didn't understand a word.

"Let's be professional, carry out the task, and then popularize science in the future. Chu Ci patted Yan Entropy's shoulder: "Keep walking forward and see what the hell is that looks like an egg, an egg, and a maggot." ”

Yan Entropy rolled his eyes.

It's up to you to ask if it's okay to come and go.

The four slowed down and moved forward against the wall.

After walking for less than 200 meters, I finally saw the so-called eggs, or eggs, or maggots.

After Yan Entropy fixed the lighting equipment, Chu Ci gasped.

A circular space of 100 square meters, the walls around it are covered with slightly wriggling white insect cysts, the larger ones are twenty or thirty centimeters, and the smaller ones are only the size of fingernails.

In such a small space, there are thousands of worm cysts, which are completely trying to force the rhythm of dense phobia.

"So much. Chu Ci couldn't help but shout: "Hurry up and find a way to destroy it, if there are thousands of worms of that kind here, the earth can be hollowed out." ”

Although Chu Ci is exaggerating, if these worm cysts are really hatched, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The biggest hobby of this insect is to drill holes, and it lives to drill holes, and it is good to feed, so it eats and vomits, which can be described as a real soil eating creature!

A big bug can drill out two or three kilometers of underground tunnels in a short time, if there are thousands, then don't think about it, the developer has to cry to death, don't think about building a building in the future, definitely build one by one.

"That's not right. Chu Ci leaned in front of the wall and frowned and observed for a while: "According to what Wu Changfeng said, the reason why this ancient mutant species is about to become extinct is that in addition to external factors, extremely low fertility is the main reason. ”

"Is this fertility still low?" Jack the boy pointed to the wall and exclaimed, "This can give birth to thousands, and if no one cares, you can rule the earth in ten or eight years." ”

"It shouldn't be that simple. ”

Regarding the ancient mutants, Wu Changfeng knows very well, since most of the characteristics can be accurately described, there should be no mistake about fertility.

Stepping on the greasy mucus under his feet, Chu Ci took out a tactical knife from his back waist and cut through a fingernail-sized insect sac.

As a cloud of milky white liquid flowed out, a nearly transparent bug, the size of a fingernail, fell to the ground, twisting incessantly.

The insect is not much bigger than a grain of rice, and the organs on the body should not be fully developed, but they already have vigorous vitality.

Just as Chu Ci wanted to squat down and observe, all of a sudden, the little broken insect opened its mouth suddenly, its mouthparts actually stretched out like a spring, and its sharp little teeth bit directly on Chu Ci's tactical boots.

Chu Ci was startled and trampled the little insect with one kick.

"Damn, did you see that just now?"

"See. Jack's head began to break out in a cold sweat: "This is too scary, the gums can actually stick out of the mouth, it is disgusting and scary." ”

Chu Ci didn't think it was scary, he just felt disgusting.

It was the first time he had seen a creature that could stick out of his gums like springs.

Holding the tactical knife, Chu Ci cut a worm sac again, and he didn't observe it very clearly just now.

This time, the cyst was slightly larger, and a finger-wide bug fell out.

Chu Ci raised his feet, but who knew that this insect did not bite him, but shook its body and twisted to the side of another insect corpse, greedily gnawing on the corpse of the same kind.

Chu Ci was suddenly startled and thought of a certain possibility.

In order to confirm this possibility, Chu Ci once again cut through several slightly larger worm sacs.

Sure enough, the bugs were like crazy, twisting together and eating each other.

What is eye-popping is that after these insects eat and swallow all of their kind, their size increases in a visible state.

"This thing, Tainyima is disgusting. Chu Ci frowned and said, "The food of the ancient mutant species is not soil, but the same kind!"
