An hour later.

The fire that spread in the tower bell area was extinguished, scorched black marks everywhere, the power plant under construction was destroyed, and the collapsed tower clock was left in ruins, making the area a mess, adding to the clean-up task.

A cordon was pulled nearby, Huang Yu was directing at the scene, and he was anxious, but fortunately, some players tried their best to clean up the ruins, and the scene was quite stable.

Thousands of players gathered in the distance to watch, looking at the broken scene in disbelief, the brick ground was stepped on by the group of black shadows out of a series of cracked footprints, the soles of the feet were three claws, the shape was slender, I don't know what kind of creature it was.

At this time, the group of black shadows had retreated to the river and disappeared, it was obviously their lair, and no one was trying to provoke the unknown monsters for the time being.

"What beast can cause such a movement?"

"The monsters I encountered in the past few days are only ten or twenty levels, and I thought there were no powerful monsters, so they were hiding here."

"I've heard from people who have experienced the scene that the results they detected were all question marks, and the danger was extremely deadly."

"Hey, that's at least level 40."

"Wait and see, I guess we'll have to do the task later."

Huang Yu arranged his work, opened the communication, and reported: "Your Excellency, the situation has been temporarily stabilized. ”

"How's the loss?" Han Xiao's tone was calm.

"It's not good, the power plant we are building has been destroyed, and the building materials and engineering equipment in it are all wasted."

Han Xiao sighed, he had expected this, since the shelter is the main line, it is likely to have twists and turns, and the accident is really coming, but he didn't expect that there are still powerful monsters hidden in the gray iron ruins, and the loss of building materials and engineering equipment is still secondary, if there is no way to solve the beast, it will greatly slow down the construction period.

"What kind of beast it is?"

"It's still investigating, but they're hiding in the ditch drain, and we're in danger there."

"Wait for me to pass."

Ten minutes later, Han Xiao came to the scene, and everyone gathered around to report, he listened for a while, waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then came to the side of the footprints to take a closer look.

"Being able to crack the stone brick ground means that the beast's leg strength is very developed, and it weighs a lot, likes to live in damp and dark places, social animals, unknown food, and strong aggression......" Han Xiao opened his tablet and searched the beast illustrated book of Hai Lanxing, and found many matching examples.

After thinking about it, Han Xiao lifted his windbreaker, and seven or eight spider detectors fell to the ground along his legs, crawling into the river in groups to detect the situation inside, and the night vision device of the detector was connected to the infrared vision screen on the tablet.

While waiting, Han Xiao casually asked, "Are there powerful beasts in other places?" ”

Huang Yu immediately replied: "No, only here, the cleaning work in other areas is going smoothly." ”

The shocking changes here have not delayed other construction, the huge city wall is under construction, residential houses, warehouses, energy plants, internal livelihood facilities, greenhouses and farmland and so on are all going hand in hand, only Han Xiao has the help of tens of thousands of players, there are enough manpower to fully blossom, like the second shelter is still exploring the city at this time, and the progress is several times slower than him.

The spider detector sent back the footage, and the walls deep in the river channel were coated with the slime secreted by some kind of creature, very thick and disgusting, and still dripping slowly.

A small spider was wrapped in dripping slime, and the slender mechanical arthropods twitched a few times, and it shut down directly, as if it was wrapped in amber.

Further inside, Han Xiao saw a shocking picture, the end of the river communication channel was dug by wild beasts to make countless forks, he commanded the little spider to split up, as the picture continued to come back, everyone present became more and more surprised.

Underneath the gray iron ruins, there is a terrifying underground lair hidden! Covering most of the Xicheng District!

These beasts have been entrenched in this ruined city for many years!

"I'll drop a good ......," Han Xiao was slightly shocked.

The hidden beast showed its silhouette in the infrared vision, and Han Xiao hurriedly opened the beast illustrated book, this time finally locking on to the target.

"Scientific name Nicararo Shadow Viper, referred to as the Shadow Predator, oviparous, with six legs, three claws on the soles of the feet, the whole body is covered with chitinous carapace, divided into a head, torso, limbs, long tail, adult body length can reach four meters, claw strikes, tail flicking and gnawing are common means of attack, from the mouth and excretion can secrete a corrosive mucus, used to dig nests, like heat and dark and like moisture, usually live near the bottom of the volcano ......"

Except that there is no face-hugging bug, this thing is like a alien thief!

Han Xiao compared the database of Viper Alteration Chip and found that the Shadow Predator's life strength signal was about level 40, which was a small boss-level high-level monster for players at this time.

A rough estimate of the presence of more than a thousand Shadow Predators in the nest is a huge hidden danger for the Vault, and if it is not cleared, accidents like today will continue to occur, slowing down the construction period of Xicheng District.

Han Xiao suddenly discovered an anomaly.

"Shadow predators like hot environments, strange, this is a plain, the ground should be cool and damp, how can it attract shadow predators, could it be...... Is there an abandoned reactor or high-energy waste underground? ”

He groaned secretly, thinking it would be best for the player to probe the radiation inside.

If you're not mistaken, a group of Shadow Predators will have a wild boss-level Beastmaster, which only you can deal with.

The nest with complex terrain was the home of the Shadow Predator, and Han Xiao didn't want to deal with a group by himself, even if there was a mechanical guard group, he would suffer heavy damage.

The player's crowd tactic should be able to pile up ordinary shadow predators, and since there are players, they have to make the most of them.

"Speaking of which, the corpse of the Shadow Hunter Viper and the beast eggs are a kind of potion material......" Han Xiao's eyes flashed, and he had a plan.

At this time, Huang Yuzheng was actively giving opinions on the side, and talked eloquently: "I think you can use large-yield explosives to destroy the underground cavity and cause a landslide, and level the nest of the shadow predators, the consequence is to cause the ground in Xicheng District to collapse, but this is a ruined city, and it is not a big problem to collapse, just to transform the ......"

"Good idea." Han Xiao's eyes lit up, he always liked to maximize his benefits within the scope of his ability, and he wasted this nest of Shadow Predators by directly blowing them up, but Huang Yu reminded him that the Shadow Predators would attack angrily after being disturbed, which was just right to lure the snakes out of their holes, bury traps in advance, and give them a head-on attack.

He is a man of action, and he directly mobilized all the 2.5 generation rangers patrolling everywhere to communicate in the river channel, and let the people of the dark web move the small turrets over, arrange them into an array battle line, and aim at the river communication channel.

"Go in and put a flashbang." Han Xiao lost a task to the Crazy Knife, and the Crazy Knife didn't say a word, he rushed in directly, and didn't blink his eyelids from the sword mountain and the sea of fire.

As the minutes ticked by, the audience held their breath and was very quiet, with the occasional distant onlooker staring at the middle of the field.

The long wait was broken by a fierce beast roar, and with a short scream, the earth shook slightly, and the sound came from the passage, getting closer and closer, and something was about to come out.

Boom Boom –

A large group of shadow predators rushed out, their bodies were dark carapace, their bones were hideous, and the three pairs of small scarlet eyes hidden in the bone armor were full of anger and irritability, at least hundreds of shadow predators appeared, and at a glance they found the crowd gathered in the distance, and they roared and charged over.

Tutu Tutu –

In the next second, the guns and artillery rained down on the head and face, overturning and repelling this group of shadow predators, dozens of large-caliber machine guns strafed, the steel-core bullets shattered the chitin carapace, the carapace cracked, the viscous body fluids splashed everywhere, the roar turned into a wail, and struggled to stand up again and again, and was knocked down by the rain of bullets, pressed to the ground by continuous kinetic energy, and beaten into a sieve.

The flickering flames of the spear illuminated Han Xiao's side face again and again, and he lit a cigarette unhurriedly, watching as hundreds of shadow predators were beaten into sieves.

It didn't take long for the machine gun to click, emptying the magazine and littering the ground with bullet casings.

The smell of gunpowder filled the air, and the whole audience fell silent, and the tragic corpses of the shadow predators were all over the ground and shattered.

Many onlookers turned pale, disgusted by the real picture of the liver and brain.

"Bring the body back and put it in cold storage."

Everyone quickly cleaned up the battlefield, Han Xiao changed Haotian to release flashbangs again, this time the shadow predator viper was no longer tricked, and after biting Haotian to death, he still cowered in the nest, saying that he would not raise his head.

In this way, the mechanical convoy is temporarily useless, the open terrain is the best place to use fire coverage, and entering the narrow lair will only be broken into scrap metal by the shadow predators one by one, and it is enough to overshadow the enemy once.

Players have been watching for so long, it's time to find something for them to do.

"I need some people to clean this nest, preferably in three days." Han Xiao said loudly, quickly set up the task, and sent it out.

"Prize Pool Mission: Cleaning the Lair!"

After many days, Han Xiao released another prize pool task, and he found that the prize pool task was extremely easy to ignite the enthusiasm of players. Sure enough, the players who watched the show were sensational, flocking over, scrambling to take on the task.

The prize pool has quickly accumulated millions of experience, and it is still increasing, and the task requirement is to kill the Shadow Hunter Viper and bring back the beast eggs, and obtain contribution points through these two behaviors, ranking by contribution, and the top ten have a prize (counting the team ranking).

A large number of players are gearing up, pouring into the lair to hunt the shadow predators, and the strength is not enough to make up the number of people, as long as the liver does not die, the liver will die.

Han Xiao turned around and said to the four of them: "You take this instrument, go to detect the radiation concentration of the nest, and by the way, observe if there is a special shadow predator, it is the beastmaster, notify me immediately if you find it, and if you find anything else, remember to tell me." ”

The four of them nodded and entered the lair together.

Looking at the enthusiastic players, Han Xiao thought secretly.

"The Shadow Hunter Viper is too strong for players nowadays, and in order to hit the prize pool mission, players will have a more urgent need for weapons, and after seeing my mechanical guards, someone must have moved their minds......"

It just so happens that he has enough parts to sell weapons and make another profit.

This once again implements the advanced business concept, it doesn't matter if the customer doesn't have a need, then artificially create demand!
