Volume 1 The Endless Wilderness Section 148 Suspended
Half an hour later, under the recommendation of Ye Yang Qingyan, Chen Xing met with the Principality Elder who was in charge of the operation.
The office of the University was cleaned up, without the noise and noise of the past. There is a carved carpet on the floor and crystal lamps hanging from the top. Leander Ralph, dressed in a white robe, sat at the small round table, drinking coffee and talking in a low voice with the third uncle.
Chen Xing stood beside him and waited for a while before he found an opportunity to tell the story of the discovery of the steam silkworm while the elder was drinking coffee.
"You mean......" The elder stopped drinking his coffee, frowned, and asked with some uncertainty, "Earth Dragon?" ”
Earth Dragon is another name for the Steam Silkworm, and its full name is "Underground Dragon".
"Yes, Elder." Chen Xing lowered his head and said.
"Smack!"
The elder stood up suddenly, the white porcelain cup in his hand was directly crushed, and the coffee was spilled on his hand, steaming white.
The third uncle's eyes also widened, with a shocked expression.
Dragons are the most powerful beings in human legends, and their strength is self-evident that they can be related to dragons.
"Chen Xing, this is not a joke!" After being stunned for a few seconds, the third uncle stood up and reminded solemnly.
"See it with your own eyes." Chen Xing said affirmatively, without a trace of wavering in his voice.
"My God......" the elder sighed, glanced at the third uncle, and then made a gesture of please, "Let's go, let's go to the scene and have a look." ”
More than an hour later, Leander inspected the site and immediately ordered the exploration to be halted. At first, the children of the family were still complaining and very resistant to the elder's decision, but after seeing the photos of the scene, they all chose to remain silent.
The horror of the steam silkworm is only known to those who have really faced it.
Heavily armoured, invulnerable, steam-powered, and unbridled in power. An adult steam silkworm can destroy a town when angry. The high-temperature rays emitted from the main eye on the forehead can instantly melt the strongest steel in the world.
Chen Xing had seen it with his own eyes, a row of mecha was swept by the rays, and they were instantly broken in two, and molten iron continued to gush out of the incision, which was extremely terrifying.
After all personnel were evacuated, a yellow cordon was put up at all entrances and traffic was prohibited.
"Didi...... Didi ......"
At three o'clock in the middle of the night, Chen Xing was woken up by the sound of the black watch. Bring up the properties menu and go through it.

Then, he began to put on his hat and pack his gear. It wasn't long before he arrived at the entrance of Area A in the darkness of night.
"Boss, boss, what are you?" The guards were the members of the third squad, and because Chen Xing was wearing goggles, the other party only recognized them after looking at them for a long time.
"Shhhh Chen Xing pushed the goggles up and said.
"But, but......" The team member held for a while before asking, "Isn't there danger inside?" ”
"Just be careful." Chen Xing said perfunctorily. He knew the exact location of the steam silkworms and was sure not to alarm them, but he wouldn't say it.
"Okay, stay safe." The team member said respectfully. Chen Xing is very good to the people under him, and he has received sincere care and admiration.
Chen Xing pulled down his goggles, picked up his assault rifle, turned on the flashlight tied to the barrel, and walked towards the dark tunnel.
At this moment, he is wearing a black steel helmet, with goggles tied, bandages around his mouth and nose, boots on his feet, trousers tucked in, buttoned up with belts in sections, and plastic steel armor tied to his arms and calves. The whole body is tightly sealed.
This equipment is designed to deal with corpse bugs. Once they come into contact with the skin, they can bite into it, and then they will be doomed.
The incandescent beams swept back and forth, and the dirt was a mixture of shattered insect shells and bullet casings, as well as some shredded flesh and blood. The air was filled with the smell of sweat, blood, and gunsmoke.
After a while, he came to the first area, the civilian rest area. Although these places had been explored repeatedly, he slowed down and walked cautiously. Now he is only one man, and he must be cautious and cautious.
"Rustling ......"
The sound of concrete, sand and shoe uppers rubbing against their feet was small but distinct in the empty and silent environment.
At half-past four, he followed the same path as he had traveled to the research institute area and began to explore the new room.
"Cluck-la-la-la...... Bang dang! ”
Twisting the wheel, a crack opened in the iron door, and a large number of corpse cockroaches immediately poured out.
Their bodies are flat, the elytra on their backs are shiny and shiny, and their jaws protrude from two arc-shaped insect pincers, one by one, and the number is dense, which makes people's scalps numb.
In the face of the swarming corpse cockroaches, Chen Xing was prepared, pulled out the incendiary rod inserted in his waist, unscrewed the lid, and wiped it vigorously on his arm armor. With a "snort", the head of the stick erupted with incandescent fireworks.
Driven away by the flames, the corpse cockroach emits a piercing insect chirp and circles to the sides.
Chen Xing stood in place, not daring to move. The tide of corpse cockroaches crawled under his feet, densely packed, and the number was unknown.
After about thirty or forty seconds, the corpse worm ran out. Chen Xing moved his stiff arm and threw the incendiary stick into the room.
The incandescent light of the fire immediately lit up the surroundings, and the room was filled with shattered glassware. Chen Xing walked in, looked around, and found that it was a chemical laboratory.
"Pong!"
As he turned to the next room, he accidentally touched a glass test tube and landed on the ground with a crisp sound.
Immediately afterward, he felt a tingling in his scalp, as if something was rapidly approaching, and subconsciously looked towards the door.
