Spent five hours in the cave, waiting for the soldiers to rest almost.

Josiah set off first with the genetic soldiers, opening the way ahead.

Ten minutes later.

Little Eric led the team to follow slowly, because of the need to rotate and rest, more than 200 soldiers left half of them behind, using the cave as a stronghold to stay.

"Strange, why haven't you seen a monster for a long time?Did they know we were coming, and they all hid?" the griffin had been cautious, but he found that his worries were a little unnecessary, and he walked in the dark mud swamp for a long time, and not a single animal appeared, let alone attacked.

"Such a situation can be an anomaly. Lin Dong told everyone to be careful.

"No movement or anomaly?" the griffin was puzzled.

"Yes. Lin Dong nodded.

"Why?" even Fox next to him was curious.

"There is not a single animal around, and if there is some kind of powerful animal on the surface outside, it is very likely that there will be some kind of powerful animal, forming a threat and making the animal extinct. For example, the presence of tigers will make animals in the mountains and forests scramble to avoid them. In the same way, if it is a snake, if a king cobra appears in one place, all kinds of snakes in that place will be extinct. The rat colony we had met before was powerful, hungry and crazy, but there wasn't a single rat here, not even an underground creature, which didn't make sense!" Lin Dong gave these examples to illustrate.

"Shhh

"Hopefully not. When Lin Dong said this, everyone immediately felt their scalps tingle.

"What now, retreat into the cave?" little Eric didn't want a super monster more terrifying than a swarm of rats to come out of the darkness.

"What we need more is composure. Maybe we're already within the range of monster hunting, if we show weakness. The situation will be even more dangerous. You've been here many times before, and you've never been attacked by this mighty monster. Then it may be dormant, or completely ignoring our existence. I hope humans aren't in each other's recipes. After all, powerful monsters don't lack food like a rat swarm. Lin Dongyi said, everyone's hearts were finally comforted.

"We need to get out of this place quickly and speed up our march. Josiah, who was leading the way, was also startled when he heard little Eric's report.

The soldiers pressed their fears.

Pick up the pace.

After about an hour and a half of advancement, the sparse darkness in the distance finally made various movements.

Whether it was the squeaky of unknown insects, or the hissing of lizards, the soldiers were inexplicably moved when they saw several mutated giant rat-like black shadows flying from the strafing of flashlights.

Someone who finally escaped and did not experience death threats. I can't imagine the horror that so shadows loom over my heart!

Halfway through the swamp, there were places on the ground where large rocks began to grow, and countless glowing mushrooms were attached to them. These glowing mushrooms do not provide illumination, instead, they emit a faint glow that looks very eerie. Lin Dong carefully examined these mushrooms with a flashlight and found that it was surrounded by a food chain system.

Mushrooms glow and lure insects and small animals.

The long-legged spider, which hides inside the mushroom, will hunt these prey. Suck them into dried corpses. The excrement of long-legged spiders, as well as the carcasses of insects and small animals, are converted into nutrients for mushrooms.

Next to some mushrooms, there is also a giant frog located higher in the food chain.

Each is estimated to weigh several kilograms. The body type basin is generally large.

It's so ugly that it's indescribable.

There are also various black spines on the mouth and back. A very few breeds even have thorns on their eyelids, which makes them disgusting to look at.

"Mr. Wood. Why are you interested in these critters?" The female soldier in charge of escorting Lin Dong couldn't help but wonder, she couldn't understand how he could be interested in such an ugly giant frog and a long-legged spider. However, seeing that Lin Dong was interested, she volunteered to ask, "Do you need me to catch one back?"

"No, I just want to see how Cheng Dù is polluted by radiation around here. According to the genetic variation of organisms, I am afraid that this place will not be very far from pollution, at least, this direction is correct. Lin Dong made his judgment.

"Is that going on, or is it going to take a break and set off?" asked little Eric for Linton's opinion.

"Keep walking!" Lin Dong is not a weak nerd.

Walked for another three hours.

Josiah in front stopped.

He returned with the genetic soldiers, frowned, and said to everyone with a very stern expression: "The path we explored before has disappeared!"

Everyone was stunned, how could the path explored disappear?

It's not like you're not willing to take people there, right?

Philip and Fawkes looked at each other.

Big Ivan wanted to speak, but Philip shook his head at him.

Josiah looked at Lin Dong and explained, "We marked the path we explored before, but the marked place was submerged. The place we had walked through was a swamp with a few rocks, but that place was now completely a swamp. Not to mention the ground, not even half of the rocks can be found. ”

"How long has it been since you last explored?" Lin Dong thought for a moment and asked.

"Less than a month. Josiah said.

"Water depth?" Lin Dong asked.

"We tried it, and the water was more than two meters deep in just a few steps. Josiah said that the soldiers were too heavy to swim across the river, and that this was an underworld, and that if there were monsters in the water, they would be wiped out.

"It may be that groundwater infiltration caused the flooded area, have you touched any mechanism before?" Lin Dong suggested this possibility.

"Probably not, we've always been careful. "That's what Josiah said, but Big Ivan and they all suspect that this guy is lying, and according to their Uncle Sam's urine, if they see any mechanism, they won't touch it? Suddenly, it is impossible to have multiple large areas of water with a depth of more than two meters at the end of the ground, but it has happened so far. Everyone didn't bother to debunk them.

"Let's take a detour!" Lin Dong didn't think it was the right thing to do to swim in unidentified waters.

"However, the area of the detour. We haven't explored, and there are very likely to be unknown changes and dangers!" Josiah is still cautious, it is better to retreat to the cave for the time being to rest, and then explore again when the rest is good, anyway, there is a lot of time.

"Let's go and see it first, maybe there will be more flooding in the future!" Lin Dong suspected that this kind of Ze area was just the beginning.

Once groundwater seeps, then the total amount is very large.

Maybe the whole swamp will turn into a big lake.

Fortunately for everyone, the Ze District is only a low-lying area at present. Since the swamp passed, there was obviously a downhill slope, and when the long slope was over, it was the Ze area further down. A vast body of water, in the black underground space, I don't know how wide. It is indeed a very stupid thing to swim from above. But then the question arises, if you really have to take a detour, how to do it?

"Mr. Wood!" said the female soldier who escorted Lin Dong, "Mary has an inflatable raft in her backpack. But it can only be used by two people!"

"The soldiers on our side also have a few inflatable rafts, and we can do this, let's go over there first, and then send the soldiers back. And so on and so forth. First, it doesn't affect our progress, and second, there is no need to take a detour on an unfamiliar section of the road that has not been explored. "Professor Jeffrey has made the best of both worlds.

"If the waters are safe, that's a good idea!" Lin Dong slowly swept across the dark water surface with a bright flashlight.

There were no visions at first.

But.

It's been a long time.

Everyone found the surface of the water at some point. There's an extra weird glow, like a firefly. But it can't fly.

Fox and the female soldiers hurriedly helped to shine with a flashlight. The griffons joined in, hoping to see what the glow-like glow was. Soon more points of light appeared, too numerous to be counted, floating densely on the surface of the water.

"Is that a glowing bug?" Big Ivan's voice trembled, he knew it wasn't, but he hoped that Lin Dong would confirm his conjecture.

"The eyes of a crocodile, at night, the eyes of a crocodile are like that. The griffin cursed loudly, "Damn, it's full of crocodiles, but it's a good thing we didn't go into the water, otherwise we would have been a pleasant snack for them!"

"Not a crocodile!" Fawkes lowered his binoculars.

"It's not a crocodile, what is it?" the griffon snatched the binoculars from her hand and looked at it, and the whole person froze.

Because, he found that the water was full of monsters that looked a bit like crocodiles. Their eyes are extremely small, but their bodies are surprisingly large. From their floating backs, they resemble toads, and unlike toads, they have an unusually thick and slightly flattened tail from their backs. This cunning species has been hiding beneath the water until it is attracted by the glow of a flashlight.

If it weren't for Lin Dong, I really listened to Professor Jeffrey's construction yì sit on an inflatable raft over.

I'm afraid that more than 100 people won't even have scum left.

Professor Jeffrey's face turned pale.

Little Eric swallowed nervously and waved his hand to order the soldiers to immediately back away from the dangerous waters.

"Tempt it!" Josiah's courage was as strong as iron, and he ordered one of the soldiers to pick up the previously sealed piece of rat meat, shake it, and throw it vigorously into the water dozens of meters away.

The rat meat was thrown on the surface of the water, causing a large splash.

Those monsters seem to have little guts.

Sink in an instant.

Disappeared without a trace.

For a long time, the creature did not appear again, as if it had been scared away by the piece of rat meat.

"Ha, hahaha, these cowards! I dare say they're vegetarians, or they wouldn't be so big! Judging by their ugly and defensive appearance, these 'alligator frogs' should be relatively low in the food chain. They may eat some fish and shrimp, or prey on some insects, but it is unlikely that they will attack humans. They don't have the aggressiveness of carnivorous creatures at all, and only low-level creatures can attract light! The most important thing is that crocodile frogs are social creatures, and even if large carnivorous creatures live in groups, they will not be stored in the thousands, this is the patent of vegetarian animals, such as wildebeest or buffalo in the savannah! Don't panic, crocodile frogs should not attack people, they may just be a kind of frog, but they are surprisingly large, but no matter how they change, they are still a kind of frog! Judging from their mutations, we are not far from the source of radiation contamination!" Professor Jeffrey laughed when he saw it, and in his eagerness to save face, he not only threw his schoolbag to analyze the other party's carnivorous vegetarianism, but also took it upon himself to name the creature the crocodile frog, which is defined as a frog species.

"Try another piece!" Lin Dong told Josiah to continue.

"Boom!"

Another piece of rat meat was thrown into the water.

However, the sinking crocodile frog did not react at all, as if it had already fled in fright.

Everyone looked at Lin Dong, could this really be a kind of frog with a false appearance?

Lin Dong motioned to the female soldier next to him to unpack the backpack, pour out the contents inside, and load a large stone again, and at the same time instructed the female soldier to help: "Give me an inflatable raft!

The inflatable raft is inflated quickly.

Lin Dong put the backpack with the stones on it, thought about it, and then motioned for the female soldier to take off her clothes, and even put her submachine gun on the edge of the inflatable raft.

The female soldier did so a little shyly, and she took off her body armor and revealed a toned figure in a vest. Fox and the griffin help, pushing the inflatable raft into the water.

The inflatable raft slowly drifted forward under the propulsion force.

There has been no movement.

However, when it was about 20 meters offshore, it slowly drifted to a position where it was still thirty or forty meters away from the crocodile frog's sinking area.

There was a loud bang on the surface of the water, and the entire inflatable raft rose into the sky, and several alligator frogs broke through the water at lightning speed, opened their hideous huge mouths, and viciously devoured the inflatable raft in mid-air, as well as the backpack that was thrown into the air.
