Chapter 22 (I) The Relic City
After the green dragon reappeared there, he raised his head and hissed, and the countless tentacles at the front of the front swayed from side to side, shattering everything that could be touched around him, and the person hanging on the jaw of the green dragon was Si Zhengnan, who had been stabbed to death by Gu Huaiyi before!
"That's Si Zhengnan!" Ji Kefeng, who was lying on the volcanic rock, pressed the intercom and said, "Xing Er, you and Gu Madman quickly retreat, I will cover you!" After that, Ji Kefeng pulled the trigger and fired three bullets into Si Zhengnan's skull in a row, but it was useless at all, after being shot, Si Zhengnan was still screaming there, and Qinglong also shook his huge body, collided with things in front of him, and rushed towards Tang Shuxing and Gu Huaiyi.
"Run-" Tang Shuxing withdrew the dragon blade, turned around and ran towards Ji Kefeng and the others with Gu Huaiyi, Ji Kefeng, Tian Yehan and Andrew also got up and raised their guns to shoot at Qinglong, but the bullets couldn't stop Qinglong's advance at all, and what was even more troublesome was that after many bullets hit the fertilized eggs on Qinglong's back, two small turtles would immediately fall out of each insect egg that exploded.
After the two soft-shelled turtles that burst out of the same fertilized egg tumbled from their mother's body to the ground, they immediately began to kill each other, and soon one of them killed the other, strangled the slain body with its tentacles, and then sucked it clean.
Tang Shuxing, who looked back while running, stared at those small turtles, but what he remembered for a moment was the Shiva custom of "leaving only one twin pregnant", maybe these turtles really had some special connection with the ancestors of the Shiva people.
"Don't shoot!" Tang Shuxing waved at Ji Kefeng and the others, "Hurry up and run!" It's useless! ”
When Tang Shuxing and Gu Huaiyi were about to run to the volcanic rock. Tian Yehan and the others had already turned around and ran towards the city that had been flooded by magma that they had found earlier.
"You lied to me!!" Si Zhengnan's voice suddenly sounded from behind, shouting heartbreakingly, listening to the voice, it felt like he had torn his throat, making people feel that someone was constantly tearing the sackcloth in his throat.
Tang Shuxing and Gu Huaiyi, who had climbed the volcanic rock, turned their heads, looked at Si Zhengnan, who was hanging upside down on the jaw of the green dragon, raised their hands and pointed at them and shouted, "You are liars!" You are all liars! I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you! ”
"I'll go to his uncle's-" Tang Shuxing swallowed his saliva, looking at Si Zhengnan, who was fused with the green dragon and maintaining a strange posture, he couldn't help but shudder, "Is that still Si Zhengnan?" ”
Gu Huaiyi didn't say anything. It's just after hearing the shouts of Ji Kefeng and the others who have already run into the ruin city. dragged Tang Shu to escape and ran wildly along the front - now there was no other way but to escape, and they had no way to restrain the human worm that Si Zhengnan and Qinglong combined for the time being.
Just as Qinglong was chasing Tang Shuxing and the others, the two survivors of the recovery team of Shaman Power Company. Tommy and Julian immediately ran to the blue diamond forest behind the rock wall. I wonder what happened to Lu Dao. After burrowing into the Blue Diamond Forest. The two of them found that all the blue diamond flowers and formed blue diamonds in the blue diamond forest were gone, and there were raised mounds of earth everywhere.
"The bug fused with a person, who must have died in the bug's body earlier. In order to protect itself, the insect did its best to come here, let its clone return to the body with the blue diamond, and used the replica blue diamond to expand its own strength. Tommy turned around and walked to the collapsed stone wall, looking at the Qinglong Turtle, which was still crawling fast despite doubling its speed, "What should this thing be called?" Human worms? ”
Julian stood to the side, with the blood splattered from Emma's gunshot on his shoulder: "The recovery mission has failed. ”
"Recycling mission?" Tommy turned his head to look at her and said coldly, "So far, do you still naively think that this is just a recovery mission?" I estimate that this is one of the company's test projects, and if it is a recycling mission, there will be 100% backup and backup planning, but the company did not inform us. ”
"You're saying that the company is just there to test us with implants?" Julian looked at Tommy, his eyes finally moving, "Or is there some other purpose?" ”
"Not only that, but there must be other purposes." Tommy took out the communication equipment, and after seeing that the signal on it had been cut off, he finally showed his first smile, he shook the communication equipment in front of Julian's eyes, and then threw it on the ground and stomped on it, "Look, I'm right, the company cut off the communication with us, this matter is not that simple!" ”
"We were abandoned?" Julian's brow furrowed, and it didn't feel good to be abandoned, even if they were emotionally indifferent.
"But we can't abandon ourselves, can we?" Tommy gave a weird smile and turned around and gently pulled the corners of Julian's mouth with the index fingers of both hands, "From now on, we may have to rely on ourselves, laugh." ”
Julian struggled to squeeze out a smile, and Tommy pointed ahead and said, "Follow them, don't do anything, and see what happens next." ”
The two immediately rushed forward and followed closely behind Qinglong.
Qinglong came to the huge volcanic rock that blocked the ruins city and the base, and tried several times but couldn't crawl over, so anxious that Si Zhengnan, whose jaw was shaking, opened his mouth and cursed, and even hit the volcanic rock with his head, and the flesh and blood were blurred and did not stop. At this time, the clones that burst out of the fertilized eggs of the green dragon burrowed into the body of the green dragon one after another, carried the green dragon with their bodies, and then overlapped layer by layer, like a conveyor belt, teleporting the green dragon from the side of the base to the top of the volcanic rock.
In the ruin city in front, Tang Shuxing and the other five people were running wildly, Ji Kefeng, Tang Shuxing and Gu Huaiyi had excellent physical strength, and they didn't even breathe after running for so long, while Tian Yehan and Andrew were so tired that they were out of breath, even if the other three helped them carry their weapons on their backs and run in this ruin city with uneven ground, it was too physically exhausting.
Although they couldn't stand on a high vantage point to see the panorama of the ruined city, and there was no strong light that allowed them to see five meters away, the surrounding scene had already made everyone understand that this was an ancient city at least a thousand years old, but it was covered by erupting volcanic magma overnight, and when the magma cooled and solidified, it became what it is now.
However, some of the buildings covered in magma look too weird. Some are at least seven or eight stories tall, and they are boxy, and you can see balconies that resemble today's buildings – there were buildings like this thousands of years ago?
Of course not, and this is East Africa, although East Africa is one of the earliest birthplaces of mankind, and prehistoric human bones have been unearthed at least 2 million years ago, and ancient countries such as Axum and Abyssinia were also born at the beginning of the Common Era, but its development is not rapid, and it will soon disappear in the long river of history. At the beginning of the sixteenth century, East Africa was largely entirely colonized by the Western powers. On the eve of World War II. In the whole of East Africa, Ethiopia is the only independent country.
Therefore, if there really existed a place in this land where civilization was so civilized, it would have been discovered by the world long ago.
"Is this the civilization left by the ancient humans that Si Zhengnan said?" Tang Shuxing slowed down. Look back. Si Zhengnan's roar and the roar of the green dragon were not heard. Through the faint light of the unknown passage in this ruin cave, I looked at the strange buildings around me.
Andrew walked around as he watched, knocking off a few rocks from time to time and putting them in his fanny pack. He didn't have any recording equipment, and the specimens had to be brought back at least so that he could prove that what he said was the truth, of course, the scene in front of him had shocked him, he didn't expect that he was obviously looking for clues to the corpse drugs, but he accidentally found this ruin underground.
"The city has a long history, it seems that it was originally on the surface, and after the collapse of the ground after the collapse, it sank, and after maybe thousands or even tens of thousands of years of crustal changes, it finally became what it is today." Gu Huaiyi held the Yin Bee and said as he walked, "Maybe that rumor is true, before the birth of our world, there was also a world world with a high degree of development in all aspects such as civilization and technology, but it was destroyed later, and then it was the turn of the human race in this world to develop slowly." ”
"Everyone knows that rumor-" Andrew replied in a low voice, "What happened two and a half years ago, including all the archives were sealed, most of them were destroyed, and no one could mention that incident, and the permanent members of the United Nations also negotiated to reduce weapons and equipment because of that incident, although it was implemented, but new weapons continued to appear......" Speaking of this, Andrew in the sigh realized that he had talked too much, so he had to shut up and go to the front, but he had not gone far when he saw a strange thing in front of him.
A solidified column of magma connected to the ground at one end, and shot into the sky at the other, connecting the humanoid thing there. Tang Shuxing crawled up the magma pillar and found that it was indeed a person, although the person was wrapped in magma ash all over his body, and he couldn't see the actual appearance at all, but the fangs in the open mouth, as well as the sharp nails in the front of the waving palm, could be seen that the thing was not an ordinary person, but on the contrary, it was a bit similar to the combination of a corpse and a long-armed person.
Gu Huaiyi also climbed up, and at this time, the three of Ji Kefeng below, in a half-submerged building next to them, also found the same several solidified weirdos, those weirdos all maintained the posture of attacking someone, and at the moment when the magma wrapped themselves, they were instantly solidified.
Continue to walk forward, and find that the more you go forward, the less magma ash is wrapped around the buildings and people, which confirms what Gu Huaiyi said before, this city is located under the volcano, after the volcano erupted, the magma rolled out, and directly submerged from the left end to the right side, and before the whole city was completely submerged, the volcano stopped erupting, which caused the side of the city next to the volcano to be almost completely covered by magma, and only a small part of this side was covered.
Standing within the boundaries of the small number of magma-covered ruins city, everyone found a lot of solidified people, men, women, and children, all of them maintaining a running posture, facing forward, many people looked back in horror, and behind that large number of people, there were countless humanoid monsters chasing them.
Some of those humanoid monsters were still running on the ground, some were jumping high, some were climbing on top of the surrounding buildings, all of them were wrapped in magma and then solidified in an instant, and among the people running in front, only a small number were wrapped in magma, and most of the human bodies were only covered with a thin layer of volcanic ash, and the facial expressions of many people were still clearly visible.
"Looks like this city wasn't all destroyed by magma." When Tang Shuxing walked forward, he passed by Gu Huaiyi, inadvertently touched the green dragon scales in his waist bag, and immediately stopped.
An answer that might have come to his head that might have explained it all. (To be continued......)
