Chapter 288: The Worm Hole (Part II)
"Kid, I'm a natural explorer, don't you know? Any danger is nothing in Pandey's eyes! Xia Ruobing forgot that the headphones in the mask were interconnected, and everyone else would know when he took a breath.
"I feel particularly secure following Pandee, if you are 30 years younger, I will definitely marry you without hesitation......" Xia Ruobing said coquettishly with a smile.
"Haha, my favorite pretty girl said she married me," Pandey laughed, "Come on!" Let Pandey crush everything like a tank! ”
Facing Xia Ruobing's coquettishness, Wang Xingguo looked at Xia Ruobing with some tears and laughter, Xia Ruobing stuck out his tongue at him, and gave him a flying kiss, which pressed Wang Xingguo's churning vinegar back.
Walking into the hole, Tchaikov looked at the data from the air detection box: "Slight pollution, no matter what happens, do not take off the protective suit." ”
Tchaikov and Pandey were side by side, and the wall of fire formed by their flamethrowers should have no problem blocking the living dead, Xia Ruobing and Wang Xingguo followed, and Xia Ruobing took Wang Xingguo's hand.
"If there is an accident, I will let you run without looking back, leave us alone." Wang Xingguo said softly.
"No, I said that even death will accompany you." Xia Ruobing also whispered.
"Hey! Don't fall in love behind us, Pandey will be jealous! Pan Dee's untimely words ruined all the atmosphere, and Wang Xingguo and Xia Ruobing had to look at each other awkwardly and laugh.
"Well, for God's sake, let's talk about it for a while!" The search was boring and silent, and Pandey felt that it was not a bad thing for someone to speak.
This made Wang Xingguo and Xia Ruobing even more embarrassed, and in the end they had to clasp their fingers......
"The pollution numbers are getting higher and higher, and I think the engineering team has been completely wiped out." Tchaikov still paid close attention to the data of the monitoring box along the way, and as he went deeper and deeper, the values continued to improve.
"Zombie virus?" Wang Xingguo asked.
"The box only monitors the amount of foreign matter in the air, but the oxygen index has always been stable."
No matter what it was, it was still necessary to do a good job of protection, and after walking in for a while, Tchaikov scolded: "Dick is really troublesome, he actually made such a passage!" ”
The straight and diagonal passage has been more than 100 meters underground, and Wang Xingguo seems to have heard some small voices: "There is a voice, there is a ...... in front of you."
Pandey and Tchaikov tensed up, raised their flamethrowers, aimed them into the dark depths of the passage, and opened the safe.
But he didn't hear any sound, and Tchaikov asked suspiciously: "Wang Xingguo, could you have heard it wrong?" ”
"There is indeed a voice." Although the voice is very fragmented, and it is covered by a helmet, the voice is a little distorted, but Wang Xingguo is very sure.
"Pandey, let's go first, be careful!" Tchaikov thought about it, and it would be better for Pandey to go and see it first.
Wang Xingguo and Xia Ruobing just wanted to follow, but Tchaikov made a pause gesture and asked them to distance themselves first.
Wang Xingguo and Xia Ruobing saw the two of them move forward carefully, and after a few minutes, the lights went away and slowly disappeared.
"What do you think it will be?" Tchaikov was a little nervous, and in this narrow passage, once the flamethrower's wall of fire was breached, they had little more way to defend themselves against the attack.
"Whatever it is, burn it first." Pandey wasn't nervous.
"Pandey, it's an honor to fight with you." Tchaikov said again.
"Hey! Don't say it's like we're going to die. "Pandey was somewhat dissatisfied with Tchaikov.
"Shhhh There is a sound. Tchaikov heard a small crackling sound, "rustling", as if countless silkworms were devouring mulberry leaves......
"It's not like the living dead." Pandey also heard it, and the voice behind the helmet was a little distorted, making it difficult for him to judge.
"Tchaikov, what did you find?" Wang Xingguo, who was far behind, couldn't help but ask in the headphones.
"Air! But we heard it. Pandey said.
Tchaikov gestured, and Pandey moved forward.
10 minutes passed, and Wang Xingguo did not hear the voices of the two in the headphones, but the "rustling" sound began to become clearer and clearer.
Wang Xingguo heard Tchaikov scold in a low voice.
"Pandey, what the hell is going on?" Xia Ruobing couldn't help but ask.
"Wait a minute, we'll be sure." Pandey replied simply.
After another 5 minutes, Tchaikov's voice sounded again: "I think you should come and see ......"
Wang Xingguo pulled Xia Ruobing, quickened his pace, and came to Tchaikov and the others, where the lights shone, they saw an incredible scene.
Under the illumination of powerful spotlights, the air in the cave was covered with blue-green dust, and the blue-green "moss" was crawling with insects, and the "rustling" sound came from here.
"Why don't they attack us?" Xia Ruobing saw the devouring insects all over the ground, and his heart was furious, if someone with dense phobia saw it, it was estimated that he would faint immediately.
But the devourers don't seem to be aware of anyone coming, and they lie on the "moss", spinning their mouthparts and gnawing on the moss, and that's how the "rustling" sound is heard.
"This is their cafeteria." Wang Xingguo judged.
Like a tidal wave, the devours swept from one side of the moss, and the dust that rose up in their path floated in the air, and in a few moments, a patch of moss was gnawed away, and then they continued to advance, consuming the moss at a rapid rate.
The red light of the air monitoring box kept flashing, indicating that the pollution index was high, but the devours seemed to be more interested in moss than human flesh, and continued to sweep through the moss without distraction, and after a while, an area the size of a basketball court was gone.
"They're located by smell, we're wearing protective suits, they can't smell us." Wang Xingguo observed carefully and said.
"Okay. Then we've got to do something. Pandey didn't think it was okay to stand here and watch the devourers eat, so he raised his flamethrower, aimed it at the nearest moss, and spewed out a fire dragon with a "whew......
The moss was attacked by fire, and a large piece of it burned up at once, the moss went over the fire very quickly, and it was extinguished immediately after one piece was burned out, and the devours that were concentrating on eating did not know that they had been attacked, and when the air was filled with the smell of burning, all the devours stopped eating, and the "rustle" sound stopped, and there was silence for a while, and the phagons felt threatened, rubbing their vestigial wings, and there was a noisy "click" sound in the cave.
But the threat of the insects did not deter Pandey, who saw that the fire attack was effective, jumped down the steps, stood on the charred mossy ground, and shouted, "Come on! Let me bake you a plate of fragrant bugs! ”
"Huhuhu......" Tchaikov also jumped down the steps, and joined Pandey side by side, launching a fire attack on the devourers. Under the power of the wall of fire, the devours could not resist at all, and the survival instinct made them give up eating, turn around and burrow back into the cave, and the slow-running devours were scorched by the fire dragon in an instant, and the moss was also burned off a large piece, and in some places there were floating places with a lot of spore dust, and even a deflagration was produced.
"Enough! Pandey! That's enough! Pay attention to the oxygen content! "Tchaikov saw that most of the devours had escaped by burrowing into their holes, and the carbon dioxide alarm light in the air monitoring box was going off, and they had consumed too much oxygen.
"Haha, run for your life! If you don't run away, I'll scorch you all! Pandey closed the flamethrower's insurance and was pleased with the result.
Some of the devours that were swept by the flames but didn't die immediately struggled, and Pandey stepped forward and stomped them flat.
"Let's split up and find the entrance." Tchaikov only took a look at the huge cave at this time, Xia Ruobing used a container to collect samples of moss, phagosomes and spores from the ground and air, while Wang Xingguo and the others split up to find the entrance.
"Just follow the devourer...... Pandey said with a big grin, the devourer poured in from a hole, and in that case, this was the entrance.
As soon as Pandey got inside, he immediately retreated.
Xia Ruobing had never heard the calm Pandey scream like this, she had just finished collecting the sample, and she was closest to Pandey, when she saw Pandey retreating again and again, she followed and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Trust me, dear, you don't want to see this." Pandey turned around and stopped Xia Ruobing.
