Chapter 421: Adventure to Investigate the Situation

The little girl Lin Jiao's eyes widened suddenly, and Ning Lei and Gu Xiaole, who were in the middle of the night, ran out of the jungle outside.

It can't be that there are other arrangements under the guise of spying on military intelligence, right?

As soon as she saw the little girl Lin Jiao's eyes gurgling, Ning Lei knew that this old driver must be thinking about something inappropriate for children again!

So he smacked her little head, and said:

"You little guy, don't think about it! I just don't worry about Gu Xiaole going out alone, and you don't know how dangerous it is outside, you can still go out with your brother Xiaole to fall in love!"

How do you know that the little girl muttered to herself while rubbing her head:

"That's not easy to say, I've heard that there are a lot of foreigners who like to run to that kind of primeval forest, next to pythons, lions or something?

It's said to be exciting!"

"You little thing, how much mess did you see when you were in school!"

Here, Lin Jiao's sister was beating her old driver's sister hard, and Ning Lei over there was so ashamed that she was red-faced, but she still firmly walked out of the lounge in the middle and came to Gu Xiaole's side.

"Let's go, I'll go with you!"

Although Gu Xiaole had the heart to refuse, he finally nodded in the face of Ning Lei's resolute eyes.

Ten minutes later, Gu Xiaole and Lin Jiao, who had already packed their bags and equipment, came to the gate outside the fortress.

However, the gate of the fortress needs to be driven by a motor, and it takes time to open and close, and it is also very noisy, and it would be too dangerous for Koji Oda and his group of biochemical troops to really lurk nearby, taking advantage of that opportunity to rush up.

So Gu Xiaole and Ning Lei walked directly to the outside of the outer wall according to the original secret passage to enter the fortress.

Alida also waved to the two people at the entrance of the passage, signaling them to pay attention to safety, and then blocked the entrance and turned back to the second-story building.

Looking at the pitch-black jungle in front of her, Ning Lei wanted to say in her heart that she was not afraid that it was fake, but she had already said big words in front of so many people just now, even if she pressed her neck, she had to go up.

So he took a big step and wanted to leave, but was pulled by Gu Xiaole on the side, and said in a low voice:

"Clean up our footprints next to the passage first, I'm afraid that the enemies outside will follow our footprints to discover the secret entrance here. ”

Ning Lei looked down, and sure enough, in the faint moonlight, on the muddy land that had just been watered by the torrential rain all day, the footprints of her and Gu Xiaole were clearly visible.

Ning Lei didn't speak, but in her heart she admired that this guy was really cunning enough.

Gu Xiaole casually pulled two branches with a large number of leaves from the big tree on the side, and handed one of them to Ning Lei and whispered:

"Follow me!"

As he spoke, he put the broom-like branch behind him, and cleaned all the footprints behind him as he walked.

"Can this thing still be used like this?" Ning Lei's eyes widened, and she also put the branch behind her in the same way, and the two of them walked all the way and dragged the branch slowly out of the scope of the fortress.

After the two of them walked out a full kilometer away, Gu Xiaole said:

"Alright, let's throw that thing away!"

Immediately, the two of them threw the branch in their hands, slowly lowered their bodies, and walked in the direction of the outside of the valley by relying on the vague memory of their coming.

The night in the valley after the rain was extremely quiet, probably because the rain had soaked the wings of the insects for a long day, so they went far without any trouble.

However, after walking a few hundred meters, Gu Xiaole suddenly grabbed Ning Lei's arm, which was still moving forward.

Ning Lei immediately stopped and looked at him suspiciously, this is the time she has been with Gu Xiaole for a long time, and she knows that although this person sometimes makes jokes about her lightly, she is always very reliable at critical moments.

Gu Xiaole didn't speak, but just pointed to the ground in front of her, which meant that she could observe carefully......

Ning Lei didn't understand what Gu Xiaole meant, so she leaned over as much as she could and looked forward.

Although the valley was dim at night, with the faint glow of the moonlight in the sky between the leaves, it was still possible to see a yellowish mud field in front of it.

What's so strange about this kind of mud that can be found everywhere in this valley?

But just when Ning Lei was curious, she found that the land that looked damp and muddy seemed to move suddenly.

"Huh, is it because my eyes are spent?" Ning Lei rubbed her eyes, wanting to get closer and take a closer look.

Who knew that Gu Xiaole, who was behind him, pulled her hard and pulled her directly into the bushes on the side.

In just a moment, the yellow mud suddenly surged, and then a large mouth the thickness of a human thigh suddenly opened open from the earth, and with lightning speed, it bit a large beetle that had hurriedly crawled past it.

The basin-sized beetle struggled and squeaked desperately, but the jaw gripped its shell and slowly shrank back to the ground.

Finally, after a dozen seconds, with the beetle submerged in the dirt, everything was back to normal.

"What's that?" Ning Lei asked with trepidation, saying that if she hadn't paid attention just now and walked up with one foot, she might have been dragged into the mud and eaten.

"I don't know either! Probably a carnivorous coelenterate, these guys used to only eat a few small bugs underground, but now they have become extremely threatening because of meteorites.

So we have to be extra careful every step we take!"

......

At this time, in the jungle less than five kilometers away from them, Qu Hongbo and the others had already set up camp, and several people were discussing what had just happened around the campfire.

"Uncle Qu, why do you say those ordinary mosquitoes grow so big?" Du Xin'er looked puzzled, and the scholar with glasses next to her was constantly flipping through a large encyclopedia about insects.

"You don't have to look for it, there will definitely not be the answer you want on it, I Qu Hongbo has traveled all kinds of jungles, grasslands, deserts and oceans in the world, and I have never seen or even heard of a mosquito the size of a basketball.

The biggest mosquito I saw in the Amazon jungle was the kind of mosquito the size of an ordinary sparrow, but compared to the mosquitoes we encountered this time, they are simply grandchildren!

But I don't have a clue what happened to cause the mosquitoes to become so huge!

Is it a genetic mutation, or is it exposure to nuclear radiation, or is there some other unknown cause?"

Qu Hongbo drank the cup of fragrant coffee in his hand, looked at the entire valley in the distance, and continued:

"Whatever the reason, everything that has been discovered here will make me and our entire team go down in the history of biology!"

"Uncle Qu, do you think the discovery here will also have huge commercial value?" Du Xin'er on the side asked with great interest.

"Of course, there is commercial value! Let me give you the simplest example, if we can find out the reason for the huge creatures here, then we can use this huge discovery in animal husbandry to create chickens and ducks that are taller than people, then the commercial value is unimaginable!"

But just as Qu Hongbo was talking there, suddenly there was a vibration under his feet, and then a giant centipede that lacked several legs suddenly appeared!
