Chapter 13: Intruders from the Surface

No one cared that the woman had fallen, and no one cared about the crying child, who was all fleeing in the direction of the gallery bridge.

In the face of disaster, all human nature seems fragile.

"It doesn't matter. ”

In the face of disaster, human nature is so warm.

The woman fell in front of Cheng Sheng, Cheng Sheng stretched out his hand to help the woman up, and asked with concern.

"Oh my God, run, don't go into town, those monsters are coming down again. The woman seemed to be a little panicked, she looked at the impenetrable flow of people, and she couldn't do anything, but there was only one way to the gallery bridge, and it was impossible for a woman with a child in her arms to squeeze into such a huge flow of people.

"What should I do!" the woman panicked in front of the three of them, and the others were entering the passage one after another in the direction of the gallery bridge, but she could only be squeezed into the open space outside, holding the child and unable to squeeze in.

"Boom!"

Just when the woman was at a loss, a huge crack was drilled into the top of Ginkgo Town, and a gray-white object slowly appeared in front of everyone's eyes from the crack. It is a link creature with a grayish body and black circular horizontal stripes. After squirming its body continuously, it finally squeezed its body out of the crack, and then landed on a huge tree root, but the huge root was much inferior to this ring animal, which was 10 meters wide, and even the thick roots looked quite small in front of him. Just after the ring creature fell on the root of the tree, it opened its huge mouth, and the beast's mouth was pitch black, and in a few moments, a large amount of green liquid flowed out of his mouth and eroded onto the roots.

When the green liquid touches the house, it is just an instant, the house is corroded by the green liquid, and the liquid continues to drip down uncontrollably, and these liquids drip on the ground, making a "sizzling" sound and trying to swallow up the soil on the ground.

"Is this a ground tiger?" Aden's mouth shape turned into an "O", his eyes were full of disbelief, although in his memory, the ground tiger that had received rays on the surface was indeed many times larger than usual, but it was only 1 meter and a half to the sky, and the ground tiger in front of him was at least 20 meters long, far exceeding his memory of the ground tiger.

Cheng Sheng on the side saw this creature for the first time, and in his worldview, he had never seen such a strange creature, but his eyes had already told him that this creature was extremely dangerous.

And the eyes of the woman next to her were obviously wrong, and her eyes were more surprised and frightened.

"Ma'am, is there anything wrong?" Aden saw the woman's panic.

"It's too big, it's too big!" the woman was already stammering a little as she spoke, and her hands holding the child unconsciously increased a little more force, "In the past, creatures like this would also fall from the cracks in the sky, there were many of them, they were not that big, they would gnaw houses, they would eat tree roots, they would attack everyone in range. ”

Just when the woman was still nervously explaining, the gap at the top was once expanded, and countless dense "ground tigers" fell out of the gap again, this time the size matched the ground tigers in Aden's cognition.

These uninvited guests continued to fall from the sky, and even tens of thousands of meters of height failed to kill these "intruders". They relied on their fat flesh to resist the force of the impact, and at most they stood still on the ground for a moment, and then began to devour everything around them.

Whether it's a house, a pipe, or even a stone on the road, they all take it all. These wriggling flesh worms, distributed around the roads of Ginkgo Town, swallowed the objects around them in one bite, and then slowly wriggled their bodies forward, and could vaguely see the outline of the object being slowly digested in their abdomen.

"Aren't there any mechanical sentinels and guards in the town?" Cheng Hua The position they were in was still some distance away from the crack, and the meat worms on the ground had not yet reached a position strong enough to threaten them, "Answer my question well, I promise, you and the child will be fine." ”

"Yes, but the previous batch of mechanical sentinels was damaged a lot, today is the replenishment day, and the mechanical sentinels should be on the way to replenish. The woman explained to Cheng Hua, she didn't know why it seemed that the skinny middle-aged man in front of her and the guy with only a few hairs on his head gave her an inexplicable sense of security.

"So how many times have there been such 'natural disasters'. Cheng Hua tried to find some clues about the surface from this incident, since the creatures on the surface have infiltrated the underground world, then the people in the underground can't be ignorant of the surface.

"It's been almost a year on and off, and it's this thing that has caused no one to visit Ginkgo Town now. The woman's brow furrowed slightly as she thought about it, and when she thought about it, it seemed that it had indeed been more than a year since the first "crack" appeared, when Ginkgo Town had an abundance of mechanical sentinels, and the disaster was quickly resolved.

"So what kind of information is transmitted and collected? Have you thought of it?" Cheng Hua looked at Aden next to him thoughtfully.

"The first few times I said it should have been a temptation, and after the defense deployment was determined, I would then launch a large-scale attack, which was a manifestation of the beginning of my mind, and there was even a hint of strategic awareness. Aden analyzed the current situation, combined with the information in the woman's mouth, the giant "ground tiger" that had not appeared in the previous few times appeared this time, which means that this may be a large-scale invasion of surface creatures.

"Use the bracelet to contact the local guards, ask them to take this invasion and the problem seriously, and tell them that they need a lot of combat power to be stationed here, and this may become a hard-hit area in the future. Cheng Hua said to the woman, "It's not safe here, Cheng Sheng, you escort this lady to the gallery bridge first." ”

"But, sir, the Guards will not pay attention to this issue until these bugs cause massive economic damage, otherwise the situation would not be the place it is today. ”

"Ma'am, please follow this kid and he'll escort you to the safe area of the gallery bridge, where the meat worms will soon invade. Aden patted Cheng Sheng's shoulder and said softly to the woman.

"Escort to a relatively safe location and come back, that's all you can do. Cheng Hua told his son that Cheng Sheng must be allowed to grow up in battle, even if there are some risks associated with this.

Of course, Cheng Sheng understood what his father meant, there were guards and mechanical sentries on the gallery bridge, and once it was too close, it would increase the risk of being identified, and he was a dead person who was not in the database, and now that the gallery bridge was crowded, it would be a big trouble to attract the attention of so many people.

"Understood. ”

At this time, the flow of people has gradually drifted away, and the roads are no longer congested. It's just that there are a lot of wriggling meat worms on the roofs and roads around them, and these disgusting meat worms secrete green saliva from their mouths from time to time to corrode the objects in front of them in order to eat.

"Explorer 3!" Aden pulled the portable storage capsule out of his pocket and threw it into the sky, and after a puff of smoke, a spherical metal robot slammed into the ground.

"Distinguish the enemy's abilities!" The spherical robot began to spin in place at high speed, kicking up a puff of smoke and dust before rolling rapidly on the ground.

"Subject 1, 'ground tiger', 1 meter to 1.5 meters in length, belonged to the family Noctuidae before mutation, feeds on devouring tree roots, saliva corrosive class B, action speed class F, resistance to attack ability class A, bite strength class A, danger factor class B, weak flame flame. ”

Explorer 3 continuously collected information about the intruder during the rolling process and fed back it to the receiving terminal in Aden, and after collecting a large amount of data, it was determined that the intruder was indeed a "ground tiger".

After the data appeared in Aden's eyes, he used the control terminal to lock on to the giant "ground tiger" on the root of the tree at the far end.

"Collect data on Subject 2. ”

Explorer 3 immediately changed the direction of rotation after receiving the command, and the entire sphere rolled towards the location of the giant "Earth Tiger".

After this huge flesh worm found Explorer 3, it immediately regarded Explorer 3 as a rebel to hinder its invasion, and began to squirm rapidly from the second half of its huge body, and a huge mouthful of green saliva sprayed out of its mouth, directly towards Explorer 3.

The corrosive liquid sprayed by the giant "Earth Tiger" was so large that it fell so fast that Explorer 3 could not escape the coverage of the liquid at all, and was doused all over the green liquid.

The green liquid tried to penetrate through the dents on the surface of Explorer 3, but with Aden's timely manipulation, Explorer 3 bounced into the air and rotated in the air at a super high speed, throwing out all the corrosive liquid that adhered to the surface.

"Analyze the degree of damage to the body. "Explorer 3 began to conduct self-examinations in the air.

"The body is 20% damaged, the fluid is more corrosive than Subject 1, the preliminary rating is A, the strength level of Subject 2 is preliminarily estimated to be A+, the speed of action B, the bite strength is A+, the ability to resist hitting is S, the danger factor is A+, and the weakness is fire. ”

Just after sending the data to the receiving terminal in Aden, the giant "Earth Tiger" took the initiative again, opening its bloody mouth and biting towards Explorer 3, which was still spinning in the air.

"You still don't take that thing back!" Cheng Hua looked at Explorer 3, which was still spinning in the air, and couldn't help but greet Aden.

"No, the smart port seems to be corroded and can't receive instructions. "Aden has tried to give instructions to Explorer 3, but Explorer 3 has not responded at all and has not made any moves.

"The degree of damage to the body was re-evaluated, and the core part of the body was damaged by 20 percent, and the non-core part was damaged by 35 percent. "Explorer 3's mechanized sound has become choppy, and it appears that the corrosive liquid has eroded the inside of the machine, and it is already in a semi-paralyzed state.
