Chapter 287: The Wormhole (I)
Wang Xingguo looked at them in full armor, and they really looked like they were going to save the world, Pandey was a little embarrassed, and said: "Only weapons can bring me a sense of security!" ”
Wang Xingguo agreed, but Alexai needed weapons more, so Wang Xingguo did not ask for it, his backpack was also some conventional exploration equipment, and the weapons in his hands were two ice axes, Wang Xingguo thought that there should not be too many living dead here, if they did, I believe that the two flamethrowers and the shotgun in Pandey's hand should still be able to deal with it.
"Dick, we seem to be going in circles." Leaving the crystal palace, Chen Badai groped to lead the way, there is only one main passage here, and the rest are small rifts formed in the movement of the earth's crust, but this passage seems to be a little strange, although he zigzags, but the overall trend is all the way down and spirals to the left, Chen Badai walked for a long time, and found that he seemed to be walking an endless spiral staircase.
"What will happen then?" Dick knew almost nothing about the expedition, and in the dark underground, his sense of direction was completely lost.
Chen Badai stopped, looked at the watch on his wrist, and determined the direction, half an hour ago, Chen Badai was obviously heading due north, but now the direction has turned southwest.
"We're spiraling, it must be!" Chen Badai determined that this was a terrain that had never been seen before, and according to the laws of crustal movement, it was impossible for nature to have regular objects......
"And I feel that the radius of our spiral is getting smaller...... Chen Badai added.
"What does this mean?" Mr. Min asked. It was expected that they should be able to see the diamond mines, or at least some diamonds, but nothing of value other than the occasional crystal peeping along the way.
"The temperature is getting higher and higher, and now it's 31.5°." Chen Badai looked at the temperature display again, trying to synthesize all the data.
"We're walking in a funnel?" The mayor was a little discouraged, and it didn't taste good to be sealed in a protective suit, especially if he was in a hurry......
Ever since passing by the Crystal Palace, the air monitoring box had been in a safe state, and Dick looked at the test data, holding his helmet in his hand.
"Dick! Don't open! Mr. Min reminded.
Dick glanced at Mr. Min and said, "Mr. Min, I'm already a dying person, and this little pollution can't help me." Dick didn't listen to Mr. Min, took off his helmet, took a deep breath of the air in the hole, and said, "It's sweet!" ”
"Are you really okay?" The mayor looked at Dick, there was no sign of infection, his bladder was irritated, he couldn't hold it anymore, and ran into a crack with his stomach in his hands.
If there is any flaw in the design of the protective suit, it is that there is no passage for excretion, and the mayor has to take off his upper body if he wants to pee. He struggled to roll the semi-hard-shell suit up to his thighs, and after struggling for a long time, he finally took off the suit halfway, and felt that the contents of his bladder were about to squirt out.
"Ah, finally comfortable." After excreting freely, the mayor shook comfortably......
Mayor Marew ran into the small crack on the side of the large passage and aimed at the crack in the crack to fire, and after this burst, the confined space was filled with the smell of urine.
"Shhhh......h In amazement, Mayor Mare picked up his helmet and used the powerful spotlight on his helmet to shine into the crack, and at the end of the light, Mayor Mare saw what appeared to be a black shadow moving......
Chen Badai also heard the voice, he got into the gap, saw those moving objects, and shouted in a transposition: "Eat insects!" ”
If you choose who is more powerful, the devourer or the living dead, at this time, Chen Badai will definitely choose to devour! The living dead have become petri dishes for viruses with peace of mind, but these devours are hungry!
Running is the only choice now, seeing that there is no hope of moving forward, everyone can only turn around and run, the mayor of the town wears a protective suit halfway, and when he sees everyone turn back, he can only jump and jump while putting on the protective clothing, while fighting hard to stay away from the insects.
The devourers seemed to be triggered by something, and the ......sound of "shhhh
The group ran back along the passage and ran back to the Crystal Palace, seeing that the devourers were chasing after them in a neat line, and they would definitely not be able to run if they continued to run, Chen Badai was in a hurry, and jumped up to a crystal tree in three steps and two steps, Dick and Mr. Min saw this, and also quickly climbed the other crystal trees, and it was incredible that the devourers did not follow up, but chased the mayor.
"Don't chase me!" The mayor looked back and saw that the devourer was less than 5 meters away from him, and if the devourer ejected, it would not take him 5 minutes to turn into a pile of bones......
The mayor was desperate at this time.
"Climb up, climb up!" Chen Badai saw that the mayor of the town was slowing down on the complicated terrain in the crystal palace, and he was about to catch up, so he shouted in a hurry.
The mayor of the town had already put on protective clothing and a helmet at this time, but because of the vigorous exercise, the fog on the helmet made him unable to see the situation outside, in the crystal palace, the light reflected by the light shining on those crystal crystals disturbed the vision again, he almost hit a crystal tree headlong, the crystals on the tree were scattered all over the ground, hearing Chen Badai's shout, where can he take care of so much, and climb up with his hands and feet......
"Oops......" Mayor Maretown had just climbed a few steps, and his obstructed vision prevented him from seeing where to start, he grabbed an air, and the smooth crystal could not be stepped on steadily, and his feet were empty, and he fell into the pile of worms, and was overwhelmed by worms at once......
"It's over, it's over!" Chen Badai muttered.
Everyone saw the mayor struggling in the pile of insects, but the insects stepped on him in waves, and after a while, the mayor stopped moving, and the screams stopped. Bugs trampled over his corpse as if a black carpet had covered him.
But those insects didn't seem to be interested in Chen Badai at all, and none of them climbed the crystal tree to chase them.
The worm pile crawled over and headed towards the entrance of the cave without stopping for a moment, the mayor of the town estimated that it had turned into white bones, and no one wanted to take another look, Dick turned his gaze to the depths of the cave, and asked with trepidation, "Will there be any more insects?" ”
This question is not easy to answer, but Chen Badai suddenly thought of another question: "Why didn't the insects chase us?" ”
This question seems more difficult to answer.
"They are problematic in their positioning, they don't treat us as food." Chen Badai seemed to remember something.
There are several ways for insects to determine the location of food, smell, sight and touch, or a combination of several senses, but in any case, there will always be a sense that dominates, just now after the mayor soaked in urine, the phagogue appeared, and their main sense should be smell! And Chen Badai and the others were sealed in protective clothing, and the taste of protective clothing was obviously not the taste of food, so the insects were not interested in them.
Although the insect eater still has small eyes, but has lived underground for a long time, the visual estimation has degenerated, only a little sense of light, Chen Badai once went to the sinkhole to explore, and has seen many cave creatures, the most typical is the blind fish, although they still have the sense of eyes, but they are almost useless.
"What do you mean, as long as we wear protective clothing, we won't be afraid of devouring insects?" Mr. Min was still a little skeptical.
"Then you have to give it a try!" Chen Badai is not very sure.
After being silent for a while, Dick felt that since he had already arrived, it would be a pity to give up, and since the devourer did not attack him this time, it was unlikely that he would attack him next time.
"What about the mayor?" Mr. Min asked.
"Since he is not blessed with glory and wealth, we have no choice." Dick said it might be better, at least not to split his shares.
"Dick, if you dare to leave me, I will follow you if you are a ghost!" The mayor's voice rang through the headphones, and he wasn't dead!
When the mayor fell into the worm pile, he was just frightened and fainted, and later when Chen Badai was in the headphones, he slowly woke up, and it took a long time to confirm that he was not a soul wanderer, but really alive, and when he heard Dick want to get rid of himself, he scolded.
The mayor of the town did not die to strengthen Chen Badai's judgment, the phagogue determines the food through the sense of smell, as long as he is sealed in a protective suit, there is no exhaled air and body odor, the phagogue will be selectively blind.
"Where are the devours going?" Mr. Min asked again.
"I don't know, maybe I'm running to a free world." Chen Badai didn't care about where the devourers went, he cared more about where he was going.
"So, let's move on!" The mayor who escaped death got up, and when he fell unscathed, he also crushed a piece of devouring insects, time is precious, and he feels that he should not waste time.
"Keep in formation, don't disperse, Pan Dey and I are in front, Wang Xingguo protects Xia Ruobing, if we have an accident, Wang Xingguo is on top, I don't want us to be infamous for letting women die!" Tchaikov outside the cave was fully equipped and announced the rules of battle.
Wang Xingguo made an OK gesture, and Pandey raised his flamethrower, sprayed two shots into the sky, and shouted: "Come on, let's save the world!" ”
"Why is Pandey so happy?" Xia Ruobing saw Pan Di's excited appearance and felt a little speechless.
