Chapter 216: Maria Canyon
Roy and the two teenagers said yes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
They tested the communicator, practiced how to look at a map a few times, then put on protective suits, equipped oxygen tanks filled with air-made raw materials, and boarded a refueled tricycle.
A teenager who drives a car whose grandfather used to be a garbage porter intends to let his children and grandchildren inherit his job before being eaten by the Zerg. Fortunately, his son has learned enough to cope with today's situation.
The tricycle was started. As the town's buildings faded away, Roy and the two teenagers swallowed in unison.
The road to the beginning is not bad. The wheels have good grip and do not sink even when driving on soft sand. It's just that the wind and sand are a big problem. The wind of the star Nata is always short and swift, suddenly windy, suddenly still, like a street with a quiet belly, suddenly slapped in the face. When you cover your face and wipe your nosebleed and get up from the ground, there is still a quiet night scene in front of you.
But Nata is not a desert planet. Soon, the sand layer gradually thinned, and some stones of different sizes peeked out from underneath, more and more, bigger and bigger, making the car more and more bumpy.
Roy and another teenager sitting in the car body clung to the body of the car and steadied themselves.
“…… Be careful. ”
"Huh?"
I said...... Be careful. The teenager shyly repeated. You can feel the heat of his face through the protective suit.
Roy Wan'er smiled, suddenly changed his face, and shouted Be careful!
The boy was stunned for a moment, and then was hit by a half-fist-sized rock on the oxygen tank. Because the oxygen tank was behind him, he reached forward and fell down in horror as if he was being pulled by a giant octopus from behind.
Roy grabbed his hand and checked his oxygen tank. The stone dented the jar, allowing the ingredients to flow out like fine sand in an hourglass. However, Roy was still very happy, because the raw material compartment of the oxygen tank was relatively independent, and the poisonous air of Nata Star would be filtered before entering the boy's protective suit. The location where the stone hit was only two or three centimeters away from the pipe connecting the oxygen tank to the protective suit.
"Can we still move forward?" The teenager who was driving asked in horror.
Roy couldn't answer for a moment, and looked at the boy who had been hit by the rock.
The boy's hand was still shaking, but he swallowed, and he said, "I'm fine." Let's move on. ”
Roy looked at the map, and there were still ten minutes left one way. Thanks to Liang Chong's magic modification of the oxygen tank, even if the raw materials leaked, the rest would be enough for them to go back and forth.
Roy manages to plug the teenager's broken oxygen tank, and the three of them decide to reach their destination faster. The teenager named Tony who was driving the car took two deep breaths, no longer cowering as before, and although he was still curled up on the handlebars in fear, his waist bar was much straighter than before, and the accelerator pedal was more straightforward than before.
The rest of the journey was a smooth one. The three stopped at the edge of the canyon.
Roy checked the map of the Starbrain terminal again. To tell the truth, the first time she saw the panorama of Maria Canyon on the Star Brain Terminal, her first reaction was: Someone has stabbed the dough. At this moment, she stood on the edge of the canyon and saw that the Gobi Desert was all around, there were no peaks, no valleys, and the wasteland that could become flat suddenly sunken down, and she felt that this was not like a naturally formed landscape.
Regardless of how it was formed, the inner edge of the so-called canyon is not steep. Roy examines it with her father's heat detector, and sure enough, she finds a faint humanoid red spot at the edge of the detector's coverage. The three of them were greatly encouraged, and climbed down a staircase that they did not know whether it was natural or artificially carved, and climbed hand and foot together.
“…… Why is it called a canyon? It's a pit. ”
Walking on the rough valley floor, facing the scorching sun of Nata and not finding a place to find shade, Tony muttered quietly.
"Maybe it's weathering, which has corroded the edge of the canyon." Another teenager named Vic, who was also a damaged oxygen tank, said guessingly, and then asked Roy, "Are we going to broadcast?" ”
When they came, the mayor gave them a portable loudspeaker, loud enough to spread throughout the canyon. Use this to call Liang Chong out, so they don't have to look for Liang Chong everywhere.
Roy thought for a moment, checked Vic's oxygen tank again, and after making sure it was okay, he said, "Let's find out." If Liang Chong is the one who comes out with a shout, we don't have to chase here. ”
That's right.
The trio resigned themselves to a carpet search. Although this canyon is much fatter and shallower than the canyon in the ordinary sense, it is also in the shape of a long strip with two pointed ends. The three of them came down from one point, and when they got to the other, they just turned the whole canyon around.
There are many caves scattered along the canyon walls, all of which are not deep, and you can reach the end by turning two corners at most. The three of them divided the work, one to check the left and one to the right, and the rest of Roy stayed in the valley to prevent Liang Chong from sneaking out and burrowing into the cave they had already checked while they were not looking.
The hard work paid off, and about half an hour passed, and Tony, who was checking the left, suddenly shouted: "This hole can't be entered!" ”
Roy made a quiet gesture to Vic and went over to check.
The hole was bigger than anything I'd seen before. The entrance to the cave is covered with a transparent membrane, making it impossible for people to enter.
Tony nervously asked, "Is it Liang Chong in there?" ”
Roy looked and found a boxy metal box in a hidden place near the entrance to the cave. It's it's constantly working to create this membrane. "It's human technology. Most likely, it was Liang Chong. But let's be careful. Roy said, drawing his weapon.
Tony also took out the weapon Roy's father had given her, and swallowed nervously again.
Vic saw the movement, flashed his spear hook, and walked cautiously towards Roy and the others.
Roy tried again, but was sure that he couldn't get in, so he had to shout inside with a megaphone: "Liang Chong! Let's get inside! Zerg are chasing us! ”
Tony next to him was startled, and quickly whispered, "Why are you shouting like that!" ”
"Why don't you shout that he can let us in?" After Roy finished answering, he said into the microphone of the megaphone: "Help! ”
The transparent membrane finally opened.
Roy and Tony rush in and crash into another membrane. Wait until the membrane behind you has recovered the front one before opening.
It turned out that the double door was made to prevent air from entering?
Roy raised his weapon and slowly entered. When Tony saw her, he kept his steps and ran into the cave, and became cautious.
The sound of footsteps in the cave was chaotic.
Up front is a corner. Roy leaned around the corner, holding the stun gun her father had given her.
Liang Chong rushed out from behind the corner. (To be continued.) )
