Chapter 351: Search
After this conversation, the tension that had seemed before was swept away, and after hearing that the two sides might have to cooperate, the group of people became more relaxed.
Rob glanced at the few people behind him, there were a total of ten teams, originally there were five people with wine and salt, one with one, and the hook of the four of them with one each, and he brought another one, but because the hook and cassava followed him, two teams were led by strange hunters, and the team that found this place happened to be one of the teams.
For these people, it doesn't matter if they know each other or not, after seeing that there is no shortage of people behind him, he turned around and said to Baizhu: "So, the place you are looking for is an underground laboratory?"
"Reliable news, it should be so, otherwise, the military would not have bothered to send so many engineering trucks over, and even dispatched troll soldiers......" Baizhu said: "Actually, we have received news that the military is coming to clean up the nine ruins, saying that they are looking for something, but we don't know what it is, and we only went to find out after the fact." ”
"I should have come early to do the investigation, but you know ......," he said, shrugging, "...... The fog of the Nine Ruins had just lifted. ”
After a moment of contemplation, Rob said, "Are you sure what I'm looking for is the same thing you're looking for?"
"Not sure sure, but it's similar. ”
Bai Zhu said: "To be honest, I have never seen the seed of this World Tree, and all the information and understanding of it are based on some information and some clues. The only thing we know for sure is that a seed is self-aware, and we don't know exactly what it will be like after it is parasitized, or what its derivatives will look like. ”
"I'm just speculating based on your description. ”
After speaking, his face suddenly became serious: "What's more important is that if the military really took away the World Tree Seed from the Nine Ruins, then no one knows what they look like now......
“…… However, I believe that the military should know what they are taking away and should have taken sufficient precautions, but even so, they will definitely not take the seeds for the sake of seeing, and will inevitably do some experiments. Such an experiment is full of uncertainties, and it will definitely not be possible to use soldiers directly, and it may inevitably be used by ordinary people......"
“…… That's why, after listening to your description, just because of the similarity, I think you might be looking for the same clue as me!"
Listening to Baizhu's words, Rob recalled the practice of the Acropolis government, all those sick corpses were brought back to the Hunters' Guild, if it was before that, he thought it was to be recovered and destroyed, or to dissect the corpse to study the cure.
Now it seems that it is probably impossible to destroy it, and the speculation of the anatomical study is correct, but it is difficult to say whether it is a cure or something else.
"It should ...... Isn't it?" Rob also knew that there was a great possibility for Baizhu's speculation, but he still maintained a glimmer of hope in his heart, and said with some hesitation.
"It's hard to say. Bai Zhu shook his head and said, "It seems that if the matter is over here, we will also go to the North Acropolis to see with our own eyes what the strange disease you said looks like." ”
After a long while, Rob sighed and said, "Forget it, I'm weak, whether it's or not, I can't change it...... I don't want to think so much about it now, let's see if your guess is correct!"
After speaking, his gaze fell on the entrance of the black hole on the ground: "This basement, will it be the underground laboratory you are looking for?"
"Who knows!" Baizhu said, "We've also found quite a few basements......
Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled and said, "...... Thank you for this, we found out that some people were also looking for something in the Nine Ruins, so we scattered and followed and looked for a long time, similar basements did see a lot, but there were also a lot of toilets......"
When he said the toilet, he saw the cassava behind Rob with a disgusted expression, so he smiled and said, "...... All in all, it saves us a lot of trouble. ”
After saying this, his eyes also fell to the entrance of this basement, and said, "Now let's see if this is what we are looking for, if not, I'm afraid we will continue to look for it." ”
However, after all, this place was found by Rob's people, and now that the atmosphere between the two sides is very friendly, the unspoken rule of first come, first served naturally applies here.
After saying this, he looked at Rob, who noticed his gaze, nodded his head, and said, "Let's go down together!" ”
After speaking, he looked at Cassava and Hook, these two people are different from ordinary hunters, they can speak well in the hunter group, even if Rob is their boss now, they have to ask for their opinions, which is considered respect.
I listened to Baizhu and Rob discuss things before, what kind of World Tree seed is it, and what kind of North Acropolis military or the like, plus whether it is Baizhu or Rob, they all feel that it is dangerous, so when they saw Rob looking at him, Cassava waved his hand again and again, and said: "I'm not going! You can go by yourself! Such a dangerous thing, I still want to live for a few more years! I don't want to die so soon!"
Then Hook saw Rob looking at him, and he said, "I'm not going either, you go! ”
Seeing that the two of them were so cowardly, Rob was also a little helpless, so he could only nod and say, "Okay then!
"You're the one to be careful!" Cassava said.
Rob shrugged, looked at Baizhu, and said, "Let's go!"
Baizhu nodded: "I'll go first!" After speaking, he took the lead in entering the entrance.
Seeing this, Rob didn't argue, after Baizhu entered, he followed closely and followed, and finally there was a group of people left on the ground, you look at me, I look at you, they didn't speak, and finally Aya shouted: "It's okay to have two people, let's wait on it!"
This is a big shout, in fact, it is also to alleviate the doubts of Cassava and Hook, after all, now one side is down, if the person on the other side goes down again, even if Cassava and Hook don't want to go down, it is estimated that for the sake of Rob's safety, it will inevitably be next.
Although the two sides have been talking for so long and the atmosphere is very harmonious, after all, it is still the first time they have met, and they are just strangers, and it is obviously impossible to gain enough trust at once.
The world of hunters is originally mostly deceitful, and it is already very good that the two sides meet and face each other like this, and it is not very good that they do not fight directly, and if you want to go deeper, you can only talk about it later.
Seeing that the other side really found a place to be on guard, and there was no idea of going down again, Cassava and Hook breathed a sigh of relief and made a look, and the other four hunters nodded clearly and dispersed their guard.
When the people above were moving their own ways, Baizhu and Rob, who were walking down the stairs at this time, were only halfway there.
This downward sloping staircase is very narrow, probably slightly wider than a person, if a person goes down, he can only go down in a row before and after, if he is an unfamiliar person, the person who walks in front is obviously equivalent to putting himself in danger, which may also be the reason why Baizhu walked in front, he used this move to show favor to Rob.
In addition, if there is any mechanism or danger below, it is naturally the person who walks in front of it first, which is equivalent to a pathfinder.
Rob used to stay at home, but that doesn't mean he can't understand the meaning of this series of actions. It's just that he doesn't understand, why did the other party do this? As a stranger, it doesn't seem necessary to do this, right?
The other party will do this, what is the purpose of the nine times out of ten, maybe after going up later, he will take the initiative to explain, right?
At this moment, Baizhu, who was walking in front, had already reached the bottom, and a soft light condensed into a ball in his hand, illuminating the surrounding environment.
After just one glance, he said, "This is the code door...... In a normal basement, there is no need for a password door, right?"
"Maybe it's the vault?" Rob then walked to the bottom, the space here was a little larger, and three people could stand side by side, and he also saw the situation in front of him through the light cluster in Baizhu's hand.
Indeed, as Baizhu said, it is a thick code door, if it is in good condition, I am afraid that the bomb may be able to love it to explode, but at this time, this code door is almost cut along the door frame, and the thick door falls to the ground at this time, and people can easily walk in.
Judging by the edge of the door being cut, as the hunter who had come to inform him had said, it had been cut by a ray of heat.
With such a thick code door, ordinary cutting instruments are estimated to be useless, and only the military's high-power equipment can do this.
The two of them stood at the door, subconsciously glanced at each other, obviously thinking of this possibility.
"It seems that the place is found. Baizhu said with a smile.
Being able to find the target so quickly, Baizhu was also a lot easier, and after saying this, he continued to lead through the door and walked in.
Rob followed behind, looking around, but because Baizhu was walking in front, most of the light sources were blocked, leaving him not many light sources, and everything was pitch black, so he could only activate the snake pupil, which solved the problem.
Baizhu walked a few steps ahead, seemed to realize the problem of the light source being blocked, turned around, and was about to borrow a little light source from Rob, but suddenly saw Rob's erect snake pupils, and swallowed what he was about to say, thinking in his heart that this young man named Rob was quite unexpected.
Rob didn't notice Baizhu's movements, and when the light source came just now, he thought it was Baizhu looking at things with a ball of light, so he didn't care, and looked around.
Although there was no light source around, Rob's snake pupils were far clearer than the light of Baizhu, and he could clearly see that this vast basement was indeed a laboratory, which could be seen from those large experimental tables, on which there were various test tools.
Although the military has been here once, it is clear that they are very aware of the danger here, basically all the items, have remained the same, not only the bottles and cans have not been moved, but also the dust on them, they are still in their original state, only by observing the ground, you can see a series of footprints, showing that someone has come.
The two of them searched in the laboratory, but they were just looking, and no one would be bold enough to touch the things here, especially some glass jars containing unknown liquids, which were looked at from a distance of one meter before leaving.
Soon, the two of them walked to the innermost part of the laboratory, almost unanimously, and their eyes fell on the safe standing against the wall.
This safe was cut and opened directly, and the upper and lower floors were separated, and it was already empty.
"It's been taken away. The light emitted by the ball of light in Baizhu's hand illuminated the surroundings brightly, and he could clearly see the surrounding furnishings and the large mold spots on the walls.
"Let's see if there are any other things!" Baizhu looked back at Rob and said, "This laboratory must be very dangerous before it is opened, especially after the military people come in and find what they are looking for, they will definitely not stay for long, so maybe there will be some materials that they haven't taken away." Let's look and see, and maybe we can find it. ”
"Good!" Rob nodded and agreed.
After making a decision, the two then dispersed, no longer like before, although they were not together, they still maintained a certain distance.
The area they just walked through, even if they had seen it casually, they hadn't looked for it carefully, and now if they want to find clues, they naturally have to go back and find it from the beginning.
The two of them circled below, carefully searching for possible clues, but on the ground, the situation was a little unsettled.
After all, there are people wandering around the Nine Ruins everywhere now, and when a group of people suddenly stop in one place and guard a dark hole, anyone will think that the other party may have found something good.
So, not long after Baizhu and Rob went down, a group of people hurried over, and before they could get closer, the leading hunter in the distance shouted, "Hey, what are you guys doing here? This is my territory!"
Now Jiuxu can be said to be a borderless land, whoever wants it, you can just mark a place and say it is your own, this situation is estimated to be over until Jiuxu is really occupied and divided.
Hearing this man's shout, the two people guarding both sides of the entrance looked at him at the same time.
There were more than 20 people in the group, and I don't know if it was improvised, or if it had always been the case. And the person in the lead, unexpectedly, turned out to be a fat man, looking at the figure and weight, it is estimated that it is no less than 200 pounds, just this part of the road, no one else feels how, he is already snorting and panting.
