Chapter 25: Advent
The monitoring instruments in the bunker began to be activated, but the monitoring effect was not ideal, at night, a layer of dense fog would fall in the mountains, although there was a change in the clouds, but it was not clear to see, under this fog, the monitoring effect was very unsatisfactory.
It was like this for several days in a row, someone wanted to stay in the bunker at night to facilitate observation, but Shi Lao directly refused, and he didn't want to take risks easily before the matter was clear.
Without the archaeological team to protect, the security team and the advisory team began to explore the surrounding situation, but the surrounding terrain was precipitous, and after a few days, the area of exploration was only 20 kilometers.
This morning, as usual, the two groups of people had just entered the ruins, and suddenly there was a heavy fog in the mountains, and this thick fog was menacing, and everyone suddenly encountered this situation, and there was no time to exit the mountains, so they could only take refuge in the bunkers for the time being.
Although the magnetic field interference in the mountains is very serious, the radio cannot be used, even if the communication equipment of the special forces is extremely advanced, it is also true, but fortunately, a military communication optical fiber is buried on the ground.
So after withdrawing to the bunker, the situation of everyone, Shi Lao and others in the camp were clear.
It didn't take much time for the fog to fall, and when the people in the camp and fortress were waiting, Shen Mulan looked at the instrument in his hand, his face changed greatly, and reported to Shi Lao:
"Commander-in-Chief Shi, the detection instruments of the six divisions of our Administration Bureau show that there are violent spatial fluctuations nearby, the energy overflow is far greater than before, and cracks have appeared in the space barrier.
This spatial fluctuation is very large, and according to my judgment, it is estimated that another worldly creature will arrive within half an hour. ”
Shi Lao and the others were also shocked when they heard this, but they quickly made a decision, ordering everyone to guard against it and no one to go out, and at the same time hurriedly aimed the muzzle of the cannon at the exit of the mountains, and ordered the troops to fire directly once something terrifying ran out.
At the same time, report the situation here to the superiors and apply for support from the surrounding military districts and management bureaus.
The camp suddenly became busy, self-propelled guns lined up, aimed at the mountain pass, and the soldiers were on the alert with their guns and ammunition.
Shi Lao hung up the phone and said to the people in the fortress:
"I have asked for reinforcements, everyone wait and see, don't panic, our fortress is very strong, even aerial bombs can't open it, you will not be in danger for the time being. ”
As the minutes passed, everyone in the bunker and in the camp became nervous.
"Reported, the address of the space descending is on the site, and the wormhole has begun to form, slowly expanding, and is now three meters in diameter...... Five meters ......, fifteen meters ......"
Shen Mulan kept reporting the situation at the scene, her heart continued to sink, the larger the diameter of the wormhole, the stronger the coming creatures, it had been recorded in the Authority before, a few years ago in the northern neighboring country, the wormhole reached twenty meters, and the collective arrival of the creatures made this neighbor suffer heavy losses.
This time, after the diameter of the wormhole reached 20 meters, it still continued to grow.
Internationally, the advent of more than fifteen D-class creatures at a time is called a collective advent, but for more than ten years, there has only been one time in the northern neighbor, and today, it is unbelievable that it has appeared here.
"From my perception, creatures have begun to appear, they resemble a strange large insect, about three meters tall, with six legs and insect-like wings.
A ...... Five ...... Ten ......"
As the number in her mouth continued to increase, Shi Lao's face became more and more gloomy.
"It has stopped coming, and there are about a hundred or so of them, and judging by their behavior, there is obviously a certain ...... Wisdom, wait, another strange insect has arrived, this strange insect is about five meters tall, and it seems to be their leader. ”
Everyone's eyes widened, trying to watch the situation outside the bunker through the display screen, but the visibility of the dense fog outside was no more than ten meters, and except for Shen Mulan, who could sense these unknown creatures, no one else could see it.
At this time, in one of the screens of the fortress, a strange insect suddenly appeared vaguely, and as it got closer and closer to the fortress, people finally saw its appearance clearly, not only Zhu Tianpeng, but everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
The creature that came was like a large bug, it stood upright like a human, but it was slightly bent forward, its lower feet were thick and powerful, and the remaining four legs were like four arms, like the two jagged forearms of a praying mantis.
The monster's head was like a shriveled skeleton, its eyes were like the compound eyes of a fly, revealing a cold gaze, its mouth was huge, and its teeth were like crocodiles.
Behind the monster, two huge wings were folded together, not like birds, but like the wings of insects.
This monster obviously has intelligence, and when it saw the bunker, it seemed to be stunned, and walked forward to investigate carefully.
Shi Lao did not order to attack this monster immediately, but carefully observed it.
In the thick fog, a sharp sound suddenly came, and the monster in front of the bunker instantly began to attack the fortress.
Seeing that the fortress could not be shaken, dozens of monsters immediately pounced and wreaked havoc.
"Attack!" Shi Lao gave the order, and several heavy cannons immediately rose around the bunker, and a torrent of metal gushed out, hitting these monsters, and armor-piercing gun bullets exploded on them.
The monsters were beaten backwards, and by the time they retreated into the fog, less than five had been killed on the ground, and although they were dead, their bodies were still twitching and struggling.
Although they had the upper hand in the first contact, everyone was not happy, such a strong defense and thick vitality, coupled with such a large number, once they went out, how many people would survive.
Situ Hao in the camp was already dumbfounded, and the group descended and appeared in front of him alive.
At this time, an important problem was raised, because the bunker was built in such a hurry, although the main body was completed, the diesel used to store electricity in it could only last for one day, and the water was even less, and if the fog did not dissipate, the people inside would face serious challenges.
A day passed, and the fog still showed no sign of abating, and Shi Lao had already reported the situation to Tianjing, but then came even worse news, due to the widespread extreme bad weather, several nearby airports stopped planes from taking off and landing, which also meant that even if the Authority could send strong reinforcements, it would be difficult to get here in the short term.
Now there are only two paths in front of everyone, one is that the people in the ruins forcibly break out, but in such a dense fog, the survival rate is almost zero.
The other route is to send people to deliver supplies to the bunkers, but it is also dangerous.
After several trade-offs, it was decided to choose the second path, which is less risky.
"Let me deliver these things!" As soon as Zhu Tianpeng spoke, Shi Lao stared at him, and at this time, he was the only one in the camp who was the most competent for this task.
"Wait until dawn, and if the fog persists, I'll send a platoon of soldiers in with you. ”
Shi Lao gritted his teeth and said, he knew that Zhu Tianpeng might still have a glimmer of hope of survival, but the soldiers of this platoon were tasked with the task of attracting the attention of strange insects, and they were basically dead.
After hearing about this task, there was silence in the troops, but it didn't last too long, and all the squad and platoon members took the initiative to ask for help, and even blushed in order to compete for this place.
Looking at the simple expressions of these soldiers, the people in the archaeological group and the sightseeing group are extremely shocked, they are ordinary soldiers, their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the special forces, and they are somewhat eclipsed under the brilliance of the special forces, but when their comrades encounter danger, this spirit of knowing that they must die and move forward bravely makes everyone feel their greatness.
In the end, the death squad was selected by lottery, and all the supplies were ready, and it was only necessary to set off in the early morning.
At three o'clock in the morning, the darkest time of the day, the fog in the mountains still did not clear.
Zhu Tianpeng got up alone, and as soon as he put on his clothes, he was discovered by Wu Liang.
"It's still early in the incident, let's rest for a while!" Wu Liang had just finished speaking, when he saw Zhu Tianpeng coming over with bad intentions, and just felt that something was wrong, he was knocked out by Zhu Tianpeng.
Zhu Tianpeng came out of the tent, tiptoed, and came to the place where the supplies were stored, and the soldiers standing guard saw that it was him, saluted him, and did not say anything.
He called the warrior into the house, and asked him to help put everything together, and then wrapped it in bandages and nets, and the warrior was obviously more professional in binding the items than he was, and when he was sure that it was strong, he took advantage of the lack of attention of the warriors, and also fainted.
Zhu Tianpeng hung his bow and arrow and alloy axe on his chest, and then carried the huge package horizontally to the outside of the tent.
Most of the soldiers were resting, and after knocking out the soldiers on the sentry in a corner of the camp, he carried a huge amount of supplies on his back and walked quickly towards the mountain quietly.
Zhu Tianpeng knew that without the cover of the soldiers, the danger of carrying out this task alone would increase exponentially, but he really couldn't see these soldiers who were younger than him to die, compared with those strange insects, these soldiers were like newborn babies, they had no ability to resist, and the effect they could play was nothing more than to attract the attention of the strange insects, nothing more.
Tons of materials were tied to Zhu Tianpeng's back, he didn't feel that it was difficult, for this operation, he had already raised his physical level by another level.
Not only that, but the supernatural power was also upgraded to Xiaocheng, just as he expected, not only did the perception range double to one thousand meters, but the teleportation range also increased to one thousand meters.
The golden seal characters shone brightly on the spiritual platform, and looking at these, he had some confidence in his heart.
Physical Level: Xiaowu Level 3 (Level 4 requires 3,000 merits)
Cultivation level: Qi refining level 2 (level 3 requires 2,000 merits)
Divine power: upright without shadow (Xiaocheng needs 2,000 merits)
Archery (2,000 merits)
Merit: Eight hundred and thirty-seven
Less than an hour after Zhu Tianpeng left, one of the several soldiers who were knocked out woke up leisurely, Zhu Tianpeng was inexperienced after all, and he was afraid of hurting them, so he didn't dare to be ruthless.
Soon, Shi Lao knew about this, and he was furious at the moment, but Zhu Tianpeng had already entered the depths of the mountain, and the wood was already in the boat, and it was too late, so he could only wait for the news with a glimmer of hope.
