Chapter 8: Strange Security
Large and small oval stones are layered on top of each other, slowly sliding between the huge crevices of the high and low stones. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The stones and stones make a rustling sound from time to time in the friction and rolling. In Yuan Xinran's ears, this is a unique welcome word from Noah's earth crack.
Stepping on the road of this activity can be regarded as officially entering Noah's underground world.
Ordinary people always try to find a large stone with a stable center of gravity to settle on, and Yuan Xinran likes to step on these gray-black oval stones and slide down.
By this time, she had changed into the full set of equipment for underground walking. Clothes and shoes are all traits, and there are several weapons on the body that can be quickly taken out.
The road is not safe.
Ten kilometers down the rocks, you will see an underground river. Walk south along the underground river for about five kilometers and you will find a fork in the road that connects the various underground city-states.
This trail is not dug by hand, but a nest passage for sandworms, and it is only by walking a kilometer west of the passage that you can save all the tariffs, tolls, fees, etc., and step into the main artery connecting the major underground city-states and their affiliated areas, the Stratum Post Road.
Although this free passage is well known, not many people take the risk to use it.
Noah's miraculous power shelters a range of five kilometers, as long as it reaches five kilometers below the crack in the ground, the activities of the Zerg will no longer be shackled, and under their unscrupulous attacks, the road before entering the stratum post road is very dangerous.
However, these are not the most troublesome. In order to prevent outsiders from entering Noah City through this underground rift, Noah's government sent a large number of beast-like cyborgs to garrison this area all year round.
Arrests are not reviewed, and they are killed when found. This is the supreme order ever given to those beastoid cyborgs.
Yuan Xinran had walked for 20 minutes into Noah's Great Crack, and the curved crack above his head had turned from a long blue river to a gray line.
The artificial skylight of Noah City has long been far away, and the crevices and cliffs are covered with fluorescent bacteria and fluorescent moss, providing enough light for the underground world.
In the beautiful underworld, the traces of the killings are everywhere.
In the past, when Yuan Xinran walked this road, he could see some stowaways who were eaten clean by the Zerg after their limbs were cut off by the beast-shaped cyborgs. There is no flesh and skin, it is all bones, and as the moving stones are scattered everywhere, they will be broken and ground into dust over time.
The strange thing is that this time, Yuan Xinran actually felt that the road was very smooth, and she had walked five kilometers when she fell to the crack in the ground, and she had not yet encountered a beast-shaped cyborg. Originally, after leaving the scope of the miracle power, she was ready for the siege of the Zerg, but now she didn't even see the most common thousand-foot earthworm.
Could it be that Noah suddenly felt that the Zerg here was too much of an eyesore, so he let all the cyborgs be exterminated?
How can it be. Yuan Xinran felt that this was even more ridiculous than the collective elopement of bugs and cyborgs.
Thinking about it and finding no reason, Yuan happily put aside the oddity for a moment and landed lightly between the rocks, maintaining her slower than usual speed, reserving her strength until she encountered an attack.
Although they did not encounter beast-like cyborgs and zergs, the traces they left behind were visible from time to time, and they were extremely dense and very fresh.
These traces are more like internal fights and cannibalism than usual joint attacks on stowaways.
However, the Zerg do not actively attack cyborgs, they are very disgusted by the smell of cyborgs' blood. So if Noah wants to walk safely underground, they must bring at least one cyborg. As for the other city-states, relying on the power of their own miracles, each has its own way of walking safely underground.
For example, the ideal city relies on the combat effectiveness of the military guards.
Thanks to the ease of the road, it used to take at least two hours to reach the underground river, but now it takes much less time without hindrance.
One hour later, Yuan happily arrived at the location of the underground river. She looked at the landscape ahead and suspected that she was going in the wrong direction.
The original underground river is gone, and there is only a dry beach in front of you.
Yuan Xinran repeatedly determined the location, and the location he had arrived at was correct.
Determining the location correctly, Yuan Xinran had to admit that this underground river located under the crack in Noah's earth did not know when it disappeared.
Strange things happened one after another, and the impact weakened. Yuan happily muttered a few words, extracted a few points of the soil from the river beach and preserved them, and made a few video recordings, which he would analyze after returning to Ideal City.
Ten minutes later, Yuan happily walked beside the river and saw the oncoming enemy situation in the distance.
Finally appeared. Yuan Xinran let out a sigh of relief, and there was a sense of relaxation in his heart that he had finally returned to normal.
The cyborgs are not part of a group that has been stationed here all year round to clear out stowaways. The clearance team consisted of three to five scattered squads, and the oncoming team was about fifty people. Looking at the mutation and body type, it belongs to the type of enhanced field combat type.
They were Noah's combat squad sent out of the city. In the past, Yuan Xinran was always able to avoid such fighting groups, because conflicts could easily cause diplomatic problems.
Yuan Xinran immediately pulled away and jumped more than 300 meters above the river beach, hiding behind a big boulder. With the advantage of bioprospecting, cyborgs will only detect the enemy situation earlier than her, but cyborgs who are sent out to fight are not very good at clearing out stowaways.
The long-range combat weapon was ready, and Yuan Xinran put the assembled long-range laser cannon aside, holding a long-distance telescope to observe the team of biochemical beasts. She had already set up a device to shield biological signals, and unless the cyborg deliberately scanned the area at close range, a distance of three hundred meters was enough to hide Yuan Xinran's traces.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and the group of cyborgs has no intention of scanning a large area, and a cyborg with fluorescein in front of the team even flashes with a specific signal.
The general meaning of this set of signals in the stratum post road is:
We do not have the will to fight, but we also do not refuse the provocation of the battle.
All in all, as long as you don't mess with it, you'll be fine.
Yuan happily put down the binoculars and breathed a sigh of relief.
Just wait for them to pass and she can continue on her way.
The threat was lifted, and Yuan Xinran could now observe the group of beast-shaped cyborgs with interest. The group looked like they had just returned from the outer city, but instead of taking the right path into Noah, they returned to the main city through Noah's cracks in the earth.
Carrying out a secret mission without the intention of removing potential threat actors from the cracks in the ground shows that the mission is time-sensitive, and the time to complete it is more important than secrecy.
What type of task will it be? Yuan Xinran thought for a while, there were too many possibilities, she shook her head, and continued to observe the group of cyborgs.
As the team continued to move forward, Yuan Xinran saw the anomaly in the middle of the team.
The assembled mechanical cart in which several humanoid cyborgs ride has an iron cage in which an animal is kept, and judging from the limited space at the cage entrance, the appearance belongs to that of a canine.
If it weren't for the resonance of the miraculous power in Yuan Xinran's body, she would have thought that it was just an ordinary animal.
The power of miracles in Ideal City, its power can sense the existence of other miracles. Unlike Noah's energy chip, the miracle power in the animal's body came from another city-state, Maya.
