Chapter 636: Missing One After Another?
"There's nothing going on around, is there?" Amm asked his men, where he only trusted his teammates.
"No anomaly!" replied the team members in charge of vigilance.
Amm was still not reassured.
With a gun.
Search for yourself with your eyes.
Finally, he picked up the telescope and looked farther away.
"Keep going, let's get out of here as soon as possible!After the fat-tailed white worm dies, the smell can easily attract necro-eating poisonous lizards and bone cavity sandworms, Walker, you take out a shovel and cover the corpse with dirt!I hope the smell hasn't spread too far!" Amm beckoned again, motioning for another team member to step forward: "White, you give Walker a vigilance, pay attention to the squirming of the ground, there is a very likely bone cavity sandworm coming, any movement has to be watched, I can't accept it, because of your negligence, Walker will lose the ...... of his feet"
"Boss, I promise to keep an eye on the ground, Walker is our good buddy, God willing, we'll all go home safely!" White was a big black man who was nearly two meters tall, and he had a sincere smile on his face.
The other Walker was also a black man.
The stature is not very high, but it is unusually strong, and the whole person looks like a calf.
White turned the gun behind him, shovel in both hands, and patted it lightly around the ground for a while, waiting for nothing to happen, and then cautiously stepped forward. The boots slammed into the shovel and scooped up a large chunk of adobe. White was about to cover the corpse of the fat-tailed white worm with adobe when he suddenly stopped, took two steps back, and screamed, "My God!"
Amm immediately rushed forward, the gun in his hand pointed straight at the ground: "What's going on? Is it a sandworm? Did you see it?"
White shook his head: "No, but the body is gone!"
Amm holds a gun in one hand. With one hand, he snatched the shovel from White's hand and swept it to the ground. Sweep away the stone that had been hewn into the ground.
The next second.
He was shocked to find that the fat-tailed white worm, which was supposed to be dead, had disappeared without a trace.
The stench and slurry on the ground are still there. Even the stones were still carved into the ground.
But the fat-tailed white worm beneath it was gone.
"Dig two shovels and try it......" Amber handed the shovel back to White, who took it with a trembling hand, swallowing his saliva with difficulty, and carefully dug up a few shovels of dirt. There was nothing under the soft earth, and there was no sign of the fat-tailed white worm that Amm had hoped to see, or the bone cavity sandworm that liked to devour corpses on the ground.
It's too fast.
There is not a minute before and after the whole process.
But the fat-tailed white worm disappeared like a light smoke under everyone's noses.
The expedition team and Adam reporters also surrounded them. The photographer was even more excited to chase after the mud puddle, and hurried to get a real similarity. Reporter Adam's face flushed with excitement, and his natural eloquence made him gush: "Ladies and gentlemen, please look at this mud pit, which is an important clue origin that we have just dug up, here, I just killed a fat worm, but in front of our eyes, it disappeared! It may have been eaten by a corpse-eating creature called the Sand Worm that resides underground...... But none of us noticed the process, nor did we hear any movement! too quickly, just in an instant, before we were ready to bury the fat worm's corpse. The sandworms burst out of the soil and devoured the fat worm's corpse! The stone I had chiseled into the ground was still standing upright, but the fat worm beneath it had been eaten! This was the terrible Death Canyon. But that's what I'm looking forward to! No matter what dangers lie ahead, I will keep going. I'll lead you into the world of bugs in Death Canyon!By the way, Captain Sancho just added to the side, he said that the bone cavity sandworm is a very dangerous creature, they will attack explorers, they have guillotine teeth, and they can bite off the entire soles of people's feet in one bite!"
Reporter Adam was excited, and his eyebrows fluttered as he spoke.
He's here.
That's what I want.
On the other side, Am's face was very ugly, and he immediately reported the disappearance of the fat-tailed white worm to little Eric, who was paying attention to the trip.
"Are you sure it wasn't a bone cavity sandworm or an iron-fisted earthworm that did it, and the ground really didn't wriggle at all?" asked little Eric.
"Yes, sir, we don't have the slightest sense. I'm sure it's not them, because there are no round holes in the ground, and we dug a few shovels of dirt and found that there were no holes underneath that were made by bone cavity sandworms or iron-fisted earthworms, and there was no foul smell from them!" Amm reported truthfully.
"Is that fat-tailed white worm dead?" asked little Eric again.
"I didn't see its body...... At that time, my heart was overshadowed by anger, and I only focused on picking up Adam's idiot and warning him not to mess around! But when I walked in the distance, I saw him stab the fat-tailed white worm with a dagger, and hit it with a stone a dozen times, and the fat tail white worm's slurry splashed all over the ground, and theoretically it was too dead to die! Even if it didn't die, the fat-tailed white worm's burrowing ability couldn't burrow into the ground and escape in just ten seconds, let alone that it was already so badly injured that it was difficult to move!" Amm couldn't figure it out, feeling that the whole thing was weird.
"If you don't see it, then it's a chance to survive! Or maybe another underground creature we don't know has preyed on its corpse! Of course, there's a possibility that we don't want to see. Am, I need you to keep going, looking for more information!" little Eric paused, and ordered to move on.
"Yes, sir!" replied Am.
"Gotta come back alive...... "Little Eric knows how dangerous his subordinates will be if this information confirms Mr. Wood's words.
"I'll do my best, sir!" Captain Amber also knew his situation, if there really was a tenfold evolution, he and a squad of soldiers would probably be wiped out before they even had time to wait for rescue.
Some people have questions in their hearts.
There are also people with curiosity.
The team slowly searched forward, and along the way, countless insects of all sizes were startled.
Another two kilometers were walked. A dozen tusked giant rats scurried a hundred meters away, as if something was chasing them from behind.
Amm told everyone to quickly find a rock to hide. But after a dozen or so tusked rats, there was silence behind them. No creature appeared for a long time.
"It could be that the cyclones from Death Canyon are terrifying to the giant rats!" Evans gave Adam common sense: "The underground here is not cold, but the air in the sky is very hot, and when the hot and cold currents are combined, then a lot of cyclones will be formed." We humans don't feel it very obviously, only feel a gust of hot wind, or cool swishing air passing over our bodies, but the stupid giant rats don't know it, and think it's an enemy, so they will run away desperately. Of course, there is another reason for them to escape, and that is to be hunted by more powerful creatures, and we are lucky that this is clearly not the case this time!"
"What kind of creatures do you usually hunt tusked rats?" asked the sub-contemporary audience.
"There are too many to say, not to mention that the largest individual of the tusked giant rat is more than 100 kilograms, but they are still at the bottom of the biological chain in Death Canyon, and there are many bugs that the tusked giant rat can eat. But in front of the real powerhouse, they are still food. For example, the long-legged spiders we met before, don't look at them ugly, they are natural predators. The tusked giant rat is right on its menu. Sancho explained them one by one.
"Do tusked rats attack humans?" asked Adam again.
"If you're hungry, you will, but if you're not hungry. They don't provoke us, after all, in their opinion. We're terrible hunters too!" Sancho laughed.
in the sky.
Another group of flying lizards flew by, making strange calls.
They flee in the opposite direction from the giant rats. One by one, they scrambled towards the 'cyclone'.
Sancho explained to the audience: "Flying creatures, such as flying lizards, love cyclones because they bring more air buoyancy and make it easier for them to fly in the sky. After all, lizards don't really fly, they glide! There are also small bugs that will bring cyclones into the sky and become a meal for lizards!"
Adam nodded: "It's really a unique landform and living environment, it's full of life, but does evolution really exist? We still need more exploration and pursuit! Don't worry, Mr. Wood, I'll help you find evidence!"
At this time, Amm reported to little Eric again: "It's a little wrong, sir, today's cyclone is a little wrong, I can't say what is wrong, but I feel it's a little scary...... I was about 800 meters to a thousand meters away from it, but my body felt a burst of coldness, it was absolutely impossible for this to happen in normal times, Death Canyon, something must have happened. Sir, nothing has changed in the scenery of Death Canyon, but I feel that it has become unusually strange and weird, and my heart has never been so disturbed since the last time I escaped death!"
Little Eric pondered for a long time, and suddenly ordered: "Am, I'm very sorry, I understand your feelings 100%, I've escaped death just like you, and I know exactly what that palpitation means! But Am, I need you to continue, I have to be confirmed, not guessed, I need more evidence to convince those stubborn old men." We've failed too many times in the Mayflower group, and if we don't make progress, we'll be disqualified!"
"Yes, I understand, I'll move on!" Amm also paused, "I'll prove it, this terrifying evolution not only exists, but is going on right under our noses!" Sir, I only have one request, can I let one of my team members go back with the current information, if we go any further, I can't guarantee that we will still be able to send the recorded materials back to the base. ”
"Your request has been granted, good luck, Am!" little Eric immediately agreed.
"Martin! You rush back to the platform immediately with the filming materials, and the helicopter will come as fast as possible! Before you escape, I allow you to use all means to protect yourself, including detonating the bombs on the entire perimeter of the platform. Amm gave the fastest soldier a hug.
"I'll be waiting for you at the base, Captain!" Martin took all the information trays, put them in his backpack, and hugged his teammates one by one.
"Good luck, boy!"
"Run faster, faster!"
"I'll treat you to a sweetheart dinner when you go back, Rose's big fart is guaranteed to make you want to die!"
The long-legged Martin began his return run, less than four kilometers in a straight line, and he didn't need to stand tall, he could see Martin's figure getting smaller all the way, quickly approaching the platform. Standing on a rock, Amm insisted on watching Martin finish the course until he returned to the platform. It was only when he saw Martin standing on the ammo box and waved his hand, and heard him respond to the intercom headset, that Amm breathed a sigh of relief.
Martin is fine, as long as the helicopter arrives in time, he will return safely.
But ...... for yourself
Amm secretly clenched his fists.
In front, there was a sudden commotion, and the expedition team that took the lead suddenly took out a flamethrower and sprayed wildly on the ground.
"What's going on?" Am's heart tightened, and he hurried forward.
"I don't know who stepped on a hard-shelled tide worm and angered them. They're crawling out of the ground and attacking us, Captain Am, we're just fighting back, these damn rat women are so fierce that if we were a little bit ashamed, Adam might have let them die alive!" Sancho said in a vague voice, but Amm could tell that it was Adam who was causing trouble. If it weren't for the decision of the top management to let the TV station follow up and report, and let the facts awaken the people's vigilance, then Amm would never accept a group of laymen to join his team.
"Captain, come here!" White found out something new.
Amm stepped in.
I saw that White used a shovel to open the pile of death tide insects, and there was a space inside the corpse that seemed to be deliberately protected, and there was a small hole in the ground.
"Is it another sandworm that has taken the opportunity to eat a tide worm? It's so fast!" Adam cried excitedly, "Is there a sandworm that is following us underground?
"......" Amm didn't speak, he only felt a tingling in his scalp now.
