With curiosity and fear, the light of two flashlights shone at the same time, and I found that in the narrow passage ahead, there was a large group of white penguins walking back and forth!

(Open BGM:salvanos here)

These penguins are all about one meter eight tall, covered with white slender fluff, like the nobles of the old century, with elegant steps, facing the lights of the two, the penguins consciously divided into two rows, out of the middle of the road, and made a hoarse, similar to laughter sound, while raising their flat upper limbs, as if to guide them to go inside.

Based on this series of actions alone, Xia Ren and Professor Fude were able to judge that most of these penguins had a lot of intelligence!

"To go or not to go?"

The scene in front of them was too weird, and neither of them had any confidence in their hearts.

After hesitating for two seconds, Xia Ren decided to follow the penguin's guidance.

The penguins were not aggressive, and the two of them walked in fear through the middle of the road they had vacated, while also keeping an eye out for their appearance.

Presumably living in burrows all the time, their eyes are closed, and they are probably completely degenerate, and the albino bodies on their bodies can confirm this, this group of penguins are complete burrowing creatures.

Just, what do they eat?

Could it be that there is a dead and silent barren outside, but an ecosystem has evolved from this cave?

Passing past the penguins, the passage in front of them became noticeably wider, but after they had passed, the penguins did not leave, but followed them closely behind them with a sound that resembled laughter.

Professor Verde feared that their calls would attract the Ancients or Shogoth, but they had nothing to do with the penguins but to speed up.

Walking around a corner, they had a wider view in front of them, which seemed to be a separate room, and in the center of the room, they actually saw two sleigh cars!

The frame has been transported through complex terrain, and some parts have been shattered, but the main body is still in good condition.

Surprised to each other, the two almost rushed over, and saw on the saddle of the car what they had dreamed of on the trip, toolboxes, canned food, and gasoline cans!

When Xia Ren's rescue team was searching for the base, they found that something was missing, and now it seems that it was carried to this place by the ancients!

However, before the two could continue to step forward, they saw two canvas bags with uneasy silhouettes next to the sleigh cart.

"Is it ......?"

Professor Fude was even bolder than Xia Ren, and took the initiative to step forward and open the package.

What was revealed inside was two human remains!

"These are the bodies of Professor Kleiman and an assistant."

Professor Forde frowned and began to flip through the remains.

"The body had neat stab wounds, the wounds had undergone precise treatment, and the internal organs had traces of being taken out and observed...... The ancients dissected them as specimens! ”

What the research team tried to do to the ancients, they did instead, looks extremely ironic and terrifying.

"We can't stay here longer, let's get out of here."

The constant cries of the penguins behind him made Xia Ren a little anxious, and although they pointed out the right path for the two of them, their purpose was unknown.

There are two gasoline barrels, each weighing 20kg, adding up to eighty catties, Xia Ren's physical injuries are getting worse and worse because of the hurry, and he can't lift any of them at all.

Professor Fude didn't say a word, but carried one in one hand, and he didn't look much struggling.

"You take the can."

He threw the backpack containing a few boxes of canned food to Xia Ren, the weight of which the latter could still bear.

"Why do you have so much strength?"

Xia Ren wondered.

"I've been running around the world and I'm used to it."

Professor Forde didn't mean to show off, and quickly skipped the topic.

However, when they tried to leave, the giant penguins blocked the passage and continued to croak, as if urging the two to move forward.

This move shocked Xia Ren and Professor Fude, what exactly did they want to do?

But helplessly, the road back has been blocked, and it is impossible for them to beat dozens of penguins with a height of nearly two meters, so they can only follow the instructions of the other party and walk forward with gasoline barrels.

"What does it smell like?"

As soon as he left the room, Xia Ren smelled the foul smell floating in the air, and the penguins behind him were still calling and urging, and the two couldn't turn back, so they could only keep walking.

After another two minutes, they arrived in another room, and when they saw the scene in the room with the help of a handset, they were both stunned.

In the room stood the bodies of seven ancient people, these bodies were covered with a green viscous liquid, and the stench was constantly emanating from the slime, and the bodies of these ancient people were severely damaged, judging by the wounds, it happened not long ago.

"Could it be that the penguins attacked them?"

Xia Ren couldn't help but express his conjecture.

"Impossible!"

Professor Forde refused.

"The bodies of the ancients can't even cut through the scalpels, let alone the long beaks of the penguins, and it's other creatures that attack them!"

Professor Forde's gaze continued upward, and he suddenly shouted, "They don't have heads!" ”

Xia Ren's heart suddenly tightened.

Isn't the picture in front of him the scene depicted on the relief outside, when Hughgoth and the Ancient Man were fighting? The most common way they kill the Ancients is by twisting their heads!

"Oops!"

At the same time as these words were shouted, the wall in front of the two of them shattered, and an ancient man broke through the wall, and the broken corpse splattered at the feet of the two people.

"Tucker Lily!"

The ancient man's body was also damaged, and it rushed straight at them!

"Run!"

The two of them set off at the same time, Xia Ren didn't care about the injuries in his body, and ran back with his legs!

Then there was a loud "boom", and the two couldn't help but look back, both of them stiffened with fright by this horrific scene.

This is a creature that is simply not depicted in detail in words!

It was about five meters tall, emitting a nightmarish stench, rainbow-colored oozing covering its entire body, sustaining its entire body and pouring forward, covering its body with countless eyes, forming and decomposing endlessly, it directly broke through the rock wall, and its wriggling body enveloped the ancient one that had just escaped, and what awaited the latter would be a desperate and tragic fate, and finally it was like the other seven dead ancient ones in the room.

"Tucker Lily!"

Shuggus didn't stop, its countless eyes looked at Xia Ren's side together, and rushed towards the two of them.

The penguins' cries grew louder, and the loud sound of laughter echoed through the room, like a group of fanatical shoe cultists, standing still waiting for the gods to come.

Shogues crushed the frenzied penguin colony, but everywhere it slipped through, the ground was spotless.

"Get moving! Come on! ”

Xia Ren roared with all his might, biting the tip of his tongue, and finally regained control of his body in the horror of a nightmare.
