Chapter 117: Thick of bones
I saw the mutated creature waving a heavy fist at the person in it.
"Bump!"
The man flew straight away, slamming into the alloy wall, but luckily there were no sparks.
As soon as the man landed, he got up and continued to charge towards the mutant creature.
After about 10 minutes, the mutant creatures were wiped out by everyone.
There were no casualties, at most the armor was dented, but it did not affect the combat effectiveness.
Chen Qiang stepped forward to carefully look at the mutant creature, this one was a bit like a one-eyed beast, and its shriveled limbs could imagine how strong it was in its heyday.
I dug into my head for a while, trying to find out the brain nucleus and something like that in the novel, but unfortunately there was no such thing at all, but this did not give up Chen Qiang's dissection of him, in case there was somewhere else! "What is Chen Jun looking for?"
Keiko Takeshita asked when she saw Chen Qiang tinkering with the mutant beast.
"Oh! I'll see what's so special about this creature.
After all, this is a creature from hundreds of years ago. ”
Chen Qiang pulled out a huge rib cage and said.
The ribs are very tough and can be used as sticks, Chen Qiang threw the ribs to Keiko Takeshita and said, "Let people take out the bones of this mutant creature and use them as weapons." ”
After hearing this, Jun Cao next to him didn't wait for Keiko Takeshita to remind him, so he immediately sent someone to disassemble the bones, and if he encountered such a creature, he wouldn't deal with it empty-handed, and he could also improve his combat power to some extent.
Tsukasa Okano, who was next to him, also thought it was a good idea.
Just fix it here.
An hour later, the trimming was completed.
Team A is already equipped with the Bone Blade.
Tsukasa Okano walked over to the door and continued to open the door.
The door gradually opened, and no imaginary zombies rushed out, but the entire passage was covered with a layer of black substance, and the dim light made the passage extremely weird.
"The methane gas is thin and you can use energy weapons."
Team A enters and feeds back the results of the probe to the public channel.
Chen Qiang also checked the environment of the temporary shelter and saw that the biogas was indeed diluted.
"There should be no biogas in it, but when we open the door, the biogas enters the passage."
Keiko Takeshita analyzed.
However, the air content is so thin that it still cannot open the external respiratory system.
Even if you can breathe, such a strange place will not dare to open.
"Team A advances, and the rest are here to guard just in case, and if there is a situation, they will withdraw immediately."
Tsukasa Okano.
From the tactical light curtain, it can be seen that there are black materials all along the way, and people walking on it are like walking on a carpet.
"The door in front of it didn't close, it was stuck with a black vine."
Jun Cao Dao.
"Send 2 people to check on and stay safe."
Tsukasa Okano admonished.
"Hey! You, go check it out, and stay safe. ”
Jun Cao casually ordered the two.
Seeing the front of the 2 soldiers open their shields, take out their pistols and move forward slowly, and the ones behind them advance with laser rifles.
Inside, I found a black vine overgrown with white bones under the vine.
"It's a mutant man-eating vine!"
Tsukasa Okano.
But seeing that the vines didn't move, Okanoji relaxed a little.
This plant is the most difficult to deal with, as long as it is not rooted, it will multiply quickly and is not very demanding on the environment.
The common man-eating vine is a plant created by humans to clean up zombies, and it will kill any nearby creatures by killing them and dragging them near their roots to absorb their nutrients.
As long as there are a large number of zombies, they will continue to grow, and once the nutrients are insufficient, they will automatically deplete and degenerate.
Originally wood-colored, it's clear that it's been mutated and there are a lot of uncertainties.
The soldier quietly took the muzzle of the gun, and when he saw that there was no movement, everyone was relieved.
It's probably dead after hundreds of years.
"Safety!"
The soldier carefully examined the back road.
"Let's go! Everyone be careful. ”
Tsukasa Okano ordered.
By the time Chen Qiang and his party arrived at the improvised shelter, another doorway had been cleared.
In case of extraneous branches, Okanoji went to open the door as soon as possible.
The inside is still covered in black supplies.
"The black vines are mutant cannibal vines, but what is it that the carpet collides with?"
Chen Qiang asked suspiciously.
"I don't know, we don't know what it is."
Keiko Takeshita replied.
"President, let's be careful."
One of them is the military Cao Dao.
"Hmmm! Send two men to check it out. ”
Tsukasa Okano agrees that there is nothing wrong with being cautious.
The two of them walked slowly, and noticed that some black eggs were irregularly placed in the back half of the passage.
"What are these?"
The soldier went curiously.
The muzzle of the gun was struck, as if it were a dull knock on a leather product.
"Retreat and destroy an egg with one click."
Chen Qiang said on a public platform.
The two soldiers retreated to a distance of 10 meters and defended themselves before pulling the trigger and attacking the egg.
Wow! The eggshell cracks, and a thick green liquid comes out.
And there is a clanging sound! Zooming in on the light curtain to see that the alloy underground was a little corroded, but the black blanket substance was fine.
"Be careful! I suspect these eggs have something to do with those mutant bugs! ”
Chen Qiang said.
The two immediately activated the energy shield and walked forward cautiously, and at this time, a tail in the egg stood up and swayed.
"Kill him, don't hit any other eggs!"
Chen Qiang immediately spoke up.
There was no need for Chen Qiang to remind them, the two soldiers had already pulled the trigger on the tail, but the aftermath of the laser still broke several eggs.
"Withdraw, get out! It's a mutant bug."
Chen Qiang said.
But it was too late, and several mutant worms in the eggshell had already come out.
The two soldiers fought and retreated.
However, the Mutant Worm moves faster.
One of them had already pounced on the energy shield.
Then the soldier immediately shot at the mutant bug.
The mutant worm was killed, and the blood that flowed out of it slid down from the energy shield and dripped to the ground, making a clattering sound.
But the other soldier was not so easy, he was attached to his body by the mutant worm, and the mutant worm's tail kept beating on his shell.
Fortunately, the shell was fine, and the soldier grabbed the tail with both hands and tried to shake it off.
The power armor was so strong that it ripped off its tail, and the liquid that flowed out directly corroded the shell armor.
"Its blood destroys my armor!"
The soldier panicked and withdrew directly from his armor.
From the light curtain, the thickened armor shell had corroded into a fist-sized hole.
The soldier panicked and took out the ventilator from the box on the side of the power armor to breathe, and thanks to the fact that there were not many broken eggs, not many alien insects escaped from it.
When the two of them retreated to the improvised shelter, they stepped forward to meet and check on the physical condition of the soldier without power armor.
"Harada-kun, you're fine, it's just that you've received a panic, and the indicators are a little high, just give you a tranquilizer."
Jun Cao took out the tranquilizer and injected it into the soldier.
It's just that no one observed that Harada-kun pressed his hands on the black carpet when he withdrew from the armor just now, and the needles on the black carpet that were fine with sweat had been inserted into his hands, and he himself didn't feel anything at all.
Two soldiers had already dragged back the scrapped power armor.
Chen Qiang stepped forward to inspect it and felt that it could be repaired, so he took out the parts from the maintenance kit and repaired them.
"Can Chen Jun still repair it?"
Tsukasa Okano stepped forward and asked.
There are several soldiers watching Chen Qiang next to him, there are no maintenance robots and maintenance personnel, and such hard injuries that damage electronic components can be scrapped directly.
It is conceivable that the soldier would not have lasted long without the protection of the power armor.
"It should work! But it will affect combat capabilities. ”
Chen Qiang said.
"Then please Chen Jun."
Tsukasa Okano said respectfully.
Disassemble the next part of the electronic components and match them to the damaged main control board, and suddenly the working indicator light in the power armor lights up.
Take out the repair agent and spray it at the hole, the repair agent is the standard configuration of the power armor, when fighting, if there is damage to the outside of the armor, you can spray it directly, similar to foam.
Its strength is not inferior to that of alloys.
"Harada-kun, come and try it."
Chen Qiang saw that everyone was calling, and the soldier also called.
"Harada-kun, what's wrong with you."
Jun Cao saw that he was a little wooden, so he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
"Ahh Oh! I'm fine, I was distracted just now. ”
Harada-kun returned to Shinto.
"Chen Jun helped you repair the power armor, you go and try it, pay attention not to wander in the future, this is very dangerous."
Jun Cao Dao.
"Hey!"
Harada-kun made a standard salute.
Then he walked up to Chen Qiang and said, "Thank you Jun Chen." ”
"It's okay, just raise your hands, go and try it!"
"Hmm!"
Harada-kun enters the power armor, but the power armor action is a bit intermittent and a little stuck.
"There's no corresponding component here, so I can really match another sub-component.
In addition to jamming, the high-power output cannot be used, otherwise the system will be overloaded and the original will be burned, so it will be used! ”
Chen Qiang saw that everyone looked at him suspiciously and explained.
"Thank you! Chen Jun is gone. ”
Harada-kun forcibly saluted Chen.
Having armor to protect him will greatly improve his survival rate, and although he can't fight, he can still protect himself with more or less firearms.
"Okay, Harada-kun, you can break off with us!"
Tsukasa Okano.
At the same time, let Team C add one person to Team A.
"Be careful not to break the eggshell."
Tsukasa Okano.
The group moved forward cautiously, and with the previous experience, everyone carefully avoided the black egg.
When I opened the passage door, there were still black eggs that had mutated into worms, but they were more dense.
The group carefully walked through the flock of eggs.
Several times, Chen Qiang helped to support Harada-kun, who was about to fall on the black egg.
"Harada-kun, are you okay?"
Chen Qiang asked.
"Thank you Jun Chen, I'm fine."
Seeing this, Chen Qiang didn't say anything.
"Team A guards the intersection to prevent dangerous creatures from rushing out of the passageway."
Jun Cao Dao.
"Open the door."
The door opened, and everyone maintained the highest battle mode, and seeing that no dangerous creatures rushed out, everyone relaxed a little.
"Let's go!"
Tsukasa Okano.
This place is too dangerous, there are black eggs everywhere, it's better to leave.
The passage was filled with white bones, and there was a crisp clicking sound when stepped on it.
"This bone is so brittle."
Chen Qiang picked up a bone and gently crushed it.
"Did Chen Jun find anything?"
Keiko Takeshita asked.
"I didn't find anything, just how this skeleton was so brittle, as if it was loose.
And don't you think it's strange? The mutant worm is less than half the size of those black eggs, so what kind of creature did it produce? ”
Chen Qiang voiced his doubts.
"Yes, we've thought about it, but we can't help it if this creature hasn't been discovered by humans."
Keiko Takeshita said.
"Be careful! It's so weird how I decided it. ”
Chen Qiang said.
"I've got everybody's on their toes."
Tsukasa Okano added.
The further you go, the denser the skeletons become.
When I opened the passage door, I saw that in addition to the piles of skeletons inside, judging from the density, this place should have been full of corpses, which had long since decayed after hundreds of years.
But strangely enough, it was covered with a black blanket, and there was no methane in it.
The laser cutter opens the circuit and clears a passage.
