"Basang, is there any news here?"

"Not yet. ”

"What about the other teams?"

"I can't contact it at the moment, but the explosion just now blew up the entire passage. It is preliminarily estimated that the entire collapsed channel is about 100 meters, otherwise, it is impossible for short-range wireless transmission to be blocked. So even if those people above tried their best to rescue them, it would take forty-eight hours to dig through at the earliest, which is still ideal. ”

"Mouse, how's the brothers?"

"Al is hopeless, he injured his spine, even if he doesn't die this time, he can only live in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Old Han has a broken leg, Aziz is intact, and your brother-in-law and aunt are fine. Hall and Muller were slightly injured, Lao Huang was still in a state of fainting, Cheng Yu was blind in one eye, Lao Cai's left arm was missing, and Qiu Kun's ears were also deaf. In addition, we are running out of ammunition, and if the other side shows up again, we will probably not be able to stop it. ”

Xing Jie was silent, everyone paid a heavy price for this exploration.

At the beginning, they had already made predictions, but they didn't expect that there would be such a huge battle creature guard in the building complex within the last three hundred meters of vertical distance. At the beginning, the team led by him was almost devastated, and the team of the Holy See and Hydra were almost wiped out on the spot.

Under the desperate protection of Xing Jie's team, Britta was rescued, but she was basically caught from the head by a white ghost's claws, if it wasn't for Ye Hao pushing it away at the most critical time, it would be absolute. However, three deep scars were scratched from the top of the head to the thighs, which was completely broken.

The situation of the U.S. imperialist squad at that time was not very good, and the squad of twenty-five people directly faced as many as fifty white ghosts, and this result was needless to say.

Uncle immediately used a large number of CL-20s. Then, due to the force, the entire passage began to crumble. The uncle escaped with the help of the team, and as for the rest of the team, it seems that they are more than lucky.

"I'll go and set up a defensive circle first, everyone have a good rest, hurry up and eat something, and take the opportunity to recover your strength. Xing Jie said softly.

No one in the five said anything.

It was the first time they had seen such heavy casualties in the ranks.

Only at this time did I understand how strong the white ghost who was nicknamed cannon fodder by Xing Jie and them was. I heard that Xing Jie had encountered the Ten Thousand Snakes Great Array in Lop Nur before, and when I watched the video, I always felt that it was not a big deal, wasn't it just a group of long worms? The white ghosts who had always been looked down upon by them only understood one thing after the appearance of the Cheng system.

They are strong, but this strength is based on the fact that they are facing the other party and are only in a single state.

The constant use of more and less has made them a little floating.

But today, when a large number of various types of combat creatures attacked them in a ladder shape, they finally understood why Xing Jie, who loved to show off, had never been willing to talk about the human-snake battle back then.

The battle was so miserable that since everyone was unprepared, the warriors who took the lead suddenly encountered the defensive forces of the ruins. God knows where those white ghost three-eyed mutant pythons came from. At that time, all the people and fighting creatures were mixed together, and guns and nothing could be used, so they could only rely on hand-to-hand combat. If it weren't for the Holy See's melee troops standing up, the outcome would have been self-evident.

However, the elite ascetics of a squadron were torn to shreds in an instant! It was precisely because of their sacrifice that they bought a few precious minutes that the entire team was able to get out of the battle sequence.

……

A faint blue light shrouded the tiny camp, a small corner of the passageway. The reason why they camped here was because they were all a little scared, and they didn't know what the hell was going to be in the rooms marked on the map.

"Is this the power of cannon fodder, I dare not imagine. Those great battles that have occurred in those ruins that have been discovered in recent years. You know, in those wars, the kind of white ghosts we encountered were not even qualified to be cannon fodder. ”

"I don't dare to think about it. Actually, we're lucky, imagine if it were the Giants or the Seraphim and the demons we encountered today, we'd all die here!"

"Shut up and rest quickly!" Xing Jie shouted softly.

His mind is very messy now, and how to escape has become an imminent problem. The defensive ring they drew did not have the right materials, and once activated, it could only last for a short period of time at most. If the ruins' defensive forces send reinforcements regardless of losses, it will be a no-brainer to break through.

So far, no fighting creatures have appeared, it is not dead, it should be Xing Jie and they have not advanced further. So for now, it's relatively safe, but it's not normal to wait until the rescue starts to make such a big movement, and there are no fighting creatures.

When Xing Jie was thinking nonsense there, his uncle and Aziz appeared beside him and didn't say anything, just handed over a bottle of water.

"Do you think something is wrong?"

"Well, these battle creatures appeared too suddenly. It doesn't make sense at all, and it starts attacking us directly. ”

"At first, I wondered if someone was playing tricks, and I focused on Adams. But there is nothing abnormal, relatively, this kid is still the first to take the lead this time, and he has taken out all his strength. I just don't know if he escaped this time or not. ”

"Another thing is that the attack of those combat creatures this time is very methodical, and it completely shows their strengths. It's completely different from the old instinctive fighting. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I doubt they ate the same 'apples'!"

This thought had long echoed in Xing Jie's mind, after all, the battle creatures this time were not at all like before, and the manifestation of wisdom was too obvious. Why didn't it before and now it is so obvious? There is no better explanation than eating an apple.

Although the deduction is very reasonable, it is difficult to say whether it is true or not. Is it worth the risk?

But this is also the most likely explanation at the moment. If only the 'apple tree' could be destroyed. Although it has no effect on the combat power of combat creatures, it can return them to a state of savage ignorance. That would be much easier to deal with!

Xing Jie took out the tablet easily, opened it directly and turned to the page of the map layout. After clicking on everything, I carefully deduced the existence of the 'apple tree' with my uncle.

Everyone in the camp began to sleep, and the seriously wounded also fell asleep after being injected with morphine, moaning softly from time to time because of the pain.

Two hours later, Basang and Xing Jie opened their eyes suddenly.

At the entrance of the passage, the two of them checked the weapons and ammunition, except for a dozen CL-20s and some ammunition, they didn't take anything else, and after waving their hands with their uncle, they walked towards the depths of the deep passage.
