Chapter 1017: Rest assured
Chisato had scanned it with her perception long ago, and she found that her perception was limited in this kind of mine, and the range of perception was much narrower. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"This is supposed to be the Vannel mine, which was specially approved by the upper echelons 60 years ago, and was protested by countless people at that time, but it was still built. The former member of the Azure Mercenary Regiment named "Dai" suddenly spoke, "This decision directly caused the annihilation of a family, because the Van Nair Mine Cave was only two years old and encountered a beast tide, and the death toll reached more than 300,000, and this area of the city was completely in ruins. ”
Everyone listened in horror. 300,000? You can imagine how horrible the situation was at the beginning.
Dai said: "Later, after investigation, the cause of this disaster was mainly because the underground area of the Vannel Mine was too large, which destroyed the roots of a large number of vegetation, and the plant aura gradually dissipated, and the turbidity took the opportunity to invade, thus triggering the beast tide early, and the family that supported this decision was also severely punished later, and no one dared to open a mine near the D realm from then on. ”
Suddenly, Eevee sneered, "Isn't the lesson of mankind enough? ”
Boundary D is the location of the land near turbidity, and although artificial tree planting programs are carried out every year, there are always forests that have not had time to take shape, such as 8D09.
"You still talk about others?" said Kadibeya, grabbing his ears and angrily, "which fool brought those dogs and rats here?"
"Ouch, ouch, big sister, I was wrong, am I wrong?" Ibu tilted his head and begged for mercy.
Everyone laughed, and the low mood suddenly dissipated a lot.
"Alright, since we're here, let's go in and have a look. Fang Zhi clapped his hands and said, "Dare to open a mine here regardless of public opinion, it is estimated that the mineral deposits are very rich." ”
Several people walked inside together.
Chisato was silent, her chest was filled with nausea, she knew the situation inside one step ahead of everyone, it was really ......
Turning a passageway, as soon as they stepped into a spacious room, everyone froze.
Chrissy whispered with an ugly face, "Isn't it?"
The scene in front of me is truly incredible. The black and gray bones on the ground, mixed in a pile of ore, like a small mountain, looked particularly infiltrating.
"Could this be all the people who died in the beast tide at the time?" Barnard muttered.
Fang Zhi squatted over and looked at the pile of skeletons carefully, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "No, the time of death is early or late, and some seem to have died recently." ”
"In the near future, it's going to be a skeleton?" said Kadibeya, pinching her nose.
"You don't want to think about what kind of place this is? The flesh of these people is estimated to have been devoured by wild beasts. ”
"Ugh. ”
"Go ahead and take a look inside, and be vigilant in case turbidity creatures lurk. ”
Chisato got off Charl's back, walked up to Bernard as if inadvertently, and tugged at his sleeve.
Bernard looked down and asked strangely, "What's wrong?"
Chisato whispered to him, "Mr. Bernard, don't show a strange expression in what I say later." ”
Bernard was even more puzzled, but nodded anyway.
"There's a stealthy turbidity man who has been following us, probably looking for an opportunity to sneak attack. ”
The man was less than thirty meters away from them, and he was not hiding in a secret place, but the crowd ignored him, so Chisato speculated that the turbidity man had the ability to become invisible.
A hint of horror flashed in Bernard's eyes, but remembering Chisato's previous instructions, he kept his composure as much as he could, but the hand with the compound bow clenched into a fist.
Chisato continued to whisper, "You'll pay attention to my gestures later, and as soon as that person stops, you'll shoot along my fingers." ”
Bernard nodded cautiously.
"This mining area is really huge, look at the map on the screen, let alone tens of millions of square meters, and it is divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower. Fang Zhen looked at the map on the wall, turned to the crowd and said, just as he was about to continue to say something, he suddenly saw Bernard raise his compound bow and shoot wind arrows in his direction.
Fang Zhen's heart was shocked, and he didn't have time to make a dodge move, and in the exclamation of everyone, the wind arrow grazed his ears and shot somewhere behind him.
Only a "bang" was heard, followed by the wail of some kind of creature.
Everyone followed the reputation, only to see that a humanoid creature appeared in the originally empty place, naked and his skin was so dirty that he could barely distinguish the original color, he covered his injured shoulder with one hand, and stared at everyone fiercely with blood-colored eyes, and let out a low roar from his mouth, which looked very terrifying.
"It's turbidity. Fang Zhen snorted, and then took out the "Bundle Soul".
The rest of the people also set up their own formations.
Probably because of the injury, the invisibility of the turbidity person has not achieved the original effect, and the translucent body can still be faintly seen. The crowd attacked mercilessly, and in a matter of moments they struck the Turbidity to the ground.
Eevee slashed his chest and abdomen with his sword, removed a sharp stone the size of a pebble, and then reduced him to ashes with a fire.
"It's so dangerous, it's almost landed. Eevee tossed the sharp stone in his hand and said with a smile, "This sharp stone is good, it should be able to sell for a good price." ”
Everyone laughed.
Only Chisato was silent, she took Char's hand and slowly swept his body with her senses, her expression didn't seem to change in the slightest, but she always felt an indescribable sadness. is also a turbidity person, will Char's future fate be like this turbidity person, being killed without hesitation, and then stripping his belly to take the stone?
No one will feel sorry for him, no one will suffer for him, his death will only add to the mercenaries' achievements.
Char, don't worry, I will never let you end up like this, this is my promise to you. Not only because of your strong willpower to regain your true nature, but also because of the trust you have placed in me during this time......
"Well, let's gossip. Fang Zhen wrapped the soul bundle around his arm and said cautiously, "It seems that there are likely to be turbidity creatures in this mine, everyone be careful." ”
Kony looked in the direction of the tunnel and added, "I recommend resting in place, the dogs and rats will disperse for a maximum of 1 day, and we don't need to venture deeper." ”
Everyone nodded, the energy of the mine could not be used in the turbidity land, it would be pitch black inside, and the lights they carried would not last long.
Pay attention to the decision, and everyone starts to assign tasks according to the usual team mode, taking turns to be on guard. The room they were in was one of the transit stations of the mine, and there was only one exit in the front and back, which was convenient to guard.
Just when everyone's spirits relaxed a little, Qianli suddenly asked, "You say, do the turbidity people know how to open the alloy gate outside?"
"What do you mean?" Ibu and the others looked puzzled.
Fang Zhen, Dai, Alta and several other more experienced mercenaries changed their faces.
Fang Zhi said with a calm face: "The alloy gate has lost energy, and it can be opened manually. ”
"Wouldn't it?" exclaimed Eevee, "do the Turbidity have this IQ?"
"It's hard to say. Fang Zhen wasn't very sure, and he couldn't help but set his eyes on the little girl.
Qianli didn't see any special expression on her face, only to see her stand up and say calmly: "A few preparations, the gate is likely to have been opened, and the rats are swarming towards this side, and it is expected to arrive here in a minute." ”
As soon as these words came out, the rest of the people showed expressions of disbelief, it was really a wave of unsettled, and they didn't even have time to take a breath!
Fang Zhi was convinced of Qianli's words, he looked at the map, and ordered: "Quickly retreat into Mine No. 5, where there is a central control room. ”
There are no doors between the mines, and the rats can drive straight in, and they don't even have a cover.
The crowd ran inside, and the sound of running and squeaking could already be heard.
Fortunately, Cave 5 was not too far from everyone, and it only took more than thirty seconds to reach the destination. Descending the spiraling staircase, the central control room soon appeared in front of everyone.
"Oh no!" Fang Shu snorted, "The door is locked." ”
"Head, can't you turn on the energy temporarily with your ability?"
Fang Zhen tried it and said solemnly: "No, the wiring inside is broken and can't be charged." ”
"Damn!" several people cursed in unison.
"Attention, they're coming. Alta raised her weapon and reminded softly.
Everyone turned pale and turned around in unison to meet the rat swarm that was already close in front of them.
In the mine, it is not possible to use large-scale lethal weapons, because there is not enough oxygen, and secondly, it is afraid of damaging the wall and causing a collapse. In other words, Cadibeya's fire canisters and Alta's air cannons must be used as sparingly as possible, which greatly limits the combat effectiveness of the Seven Leaves members.
"Damn, I might as well fight these ghosts outside!" Ibu said angrily.
"Outside, we're going to be wiped out. Barnard replied as he shot at the rats, "We have at least a lot of space here, and the corridors are long and narrow enough to attack in waves. ”
"That's right, but try not to get the dog and mouse close. Fang Zhen reminded everyone.
Everyone plans to fight to the death, and there is no way back.
Qianli observed the battle situation, and with the strength of Qiye, it seemed that it was no problem to block for ten minutes.
She took out the improvised toolbox from her backpack, opened the transparent baffle next to the door, and quickly found the damaged part with the help of the delicate probing of her senses. This is a relatively old mechanical lock, after all, it is a technology from decades ago, and it is not difficult for Qianli. It is not for nothing that she learned to repair machinery from her father Wei since she was a child, and according to her current technology, there is no problem in taking the intermediate mechanic exam.
"Everyone insists that the number of rats is also limited, and we may not be able to exterminate them all. Fang Zhen attacked while boosting morale. But he knew in his heart that this was just a self-consoling word. Their physical strength is limited, and in this closed mine, it is not bad to be able to last ten minutes, and they must ensure that they are not close to dogs and rats.
"Ahh
"No, we won't be able to resist for long!" Several people were covered in color, and the turbidity quickly invaded, and the purification potion must be used as soon as possible.
Seeing this scene, even if he was as steady as Fang Zhen, he couldn't help but show a look of despair.
"The lock is fixed. At this time, Chisaku's voice suddenly came.
"What?" Fang Zhi replied distractedly.
"The lock is repaired, Captain Fang, immediately use your ability to activate the energy to open the gate. ”
Only then did Fang Zhi understand what he meant, he was ecstatic in his heart, and he didn't care about anything else, so he quickly ran to Qianli's side under the cover of his teammates, and put the hand wrapped around the soul on the charging interface. Suddenly, the metal door lit up and slowly opened to both sides.
It worked! The thought crossed everyone's minds.
"Kadibeya and Arta went first, then Chrissy, Day, Ibrahimovic, Kony, Bernard, and I came to the back. ”
Everyone acted according to their words, retreating in an orderly manner one by one, during which several more people were bitten, and several dogs and rats also followed into the control room, but these were all minor problems.
In the end, only Bernard, Fang Zhen, and Charl, who had always been like a shadow, were left, and Chisato observed by the door, not worried about being attacked by dogs and rats.
"Boss, you go in first!" Bernard shouted as he forced back a wave of dogs and rats with a light arrow.
"No, you are advanced, I will release the power grid later, it is likely to hurt you by mistake. ”
Bernard refused to go in, and Fang Zhen still had to maintain a charged state, and it was difficult to distract himself from dealing with this group of dogs and rats. If he is not careful, he may be locked out, and it will definitely be dead or alive.
On the contrary, even if he is locked outside, Fang Zhen can open the door from the inside. In the party, only Fang Zhen's ability can be used as a regular energy source.
Seeing that the rats were pressing down like a flood, the two were still deadlocked.
At this moment, Bernard suddenly felt a tightening of his collar, and his body was violently pulled and thrown backwards, and he crashed into the control room with a thud.
Fang Zhen was stunned for a moment, and saw a black image sweep towards the rat group like a whirlwind, as if forming a whirlpool in the air, and a large number of dogs and rats were swept to the wall, smashing out splatters of blood, and the squeaky screams were non-stop.
Fang Zhen was shocked, and then saw Char staring at him coldly with his residual eyes. He didn't have time to hesitate, just nodded slightly, and rushed into the control room with a turn.
Without the energy transmission of the square, the door of the control room closed slowly.
"Char, come in!" Fang Zhi shouted.
Chisato was silent, believing that Char would definitely be able to do it.
Char's face was grim, his eyes were awe-inspiring, and he walked through the rats like a panther, bringing out a large patch of blood everywhere he passed, like a god of death in the dark.
Without the illumination of the light, the rest of the people can't see it really, but Qianli can "see" clearly.
The door was about to close, Fang Zhen flashed to the door, intending to recharge the door and open it, but he didn't want to just raise his hand to see that Char's figure had appeared beside Qianli, and the door was just closed.
What kind of speed was that? He didn't even see how he got in.
After cleaning up the last few dogs and rats that had scurried in, everyone sat down on the ground exhausted, gasping and taking out their purification potions and starting to purify the turbidity from their bodies.
