Volume 2: The Stairway to Heaven (40)

After retrieving their vehicle, they proceeded towards the set goal. It may be because they knew that Hou Ping was walking with them, and those sandmen did not stop them along the way, and seemed to have given up on taking revenge on them.

"Hey, do you think that Hou Ping has changed a little too much?"

Zhang Li couldn't stand the dull atmosphere in the carriage, and got into the roof of the heavy truck and chatted with Liu Yuxin, who was on guard.

Liu Yuxin recalled it and found that Hou Ping's behavior before and after was indeed a huge difference, and it could even be said that it was like two people. At the beginning, Hou Ping was polite and logical, but suddenly he became an irritable and unreasonable tyrant, and the slightest unsatisfactory place was like thunder, and the values shown by the two were simply very different.

"Little girl, it's not right to talk about other people behind your back!"

Hou Ping, who had been leaning on the carriage with his eyes closed, suddenly spoke:

"I said, 'Diablo is very interested in this!' , please figure out the difference between me and Hou Ping!"

"Huh?!"

Zhang Li was so surprised because she didn't expect Hou Ping to not fall asleep and heard what she said, and because she was shocked by what Hou Ping said.

Is it schizophrenia? Dual personality? Or is it because it's too boring and fun to role-play?

Zhang Li really couldn't tell the difference between Hou Ping in the two periods.

Seeing that Zhang Li didn't understand, Hou Ping began to explain for the first time:

"This body is the common carrier between me and the original owner, we influence the world through it, you can see it as twin souls, except for sharing a body, we have nothing in common."

"So who of you is the main and who is the second, and who will decide when you will control your body?"

Even Professor Sun was intrigued by Hou Ping's words, and his eyes kept looking Hou Ping up and down.

"Impudent!"

Hou Ping said that when he turned his face, he turned his face:

"Your unscrupulous gaze will be tacitly regarded as a provocation in our eyes! I don't want to get in trouble, so please restrain your damn curiosity. ”

"It seems that even if you are in control of your body, Hou Ping can always communicate with you"

Professor Sun withdrew his gaze, those biologists might be more interested in what happened to Hou Ping, but Professor Sun's main research direction is not here, so there is no need to anger an unknown creature.

I have to say that after the edification of the last days, the people who can survive are relatively big-hearted, and it is meaningless to have common interests. As long as there is no natural conflict, there is a basis for cooperation, and creatures that can't do this usually don't survive long in the wild of this world.

According to Hou Ping's own description, Professor Sun can probably guess that Hou Ping, who could kill in a heavily guarded base a hundred years ago, and then safely escort the important personnel of the institute out of the alien population, is at least a fourth-order creature, even if his ability has not improved in the past hundred years, it is also a rare reinforcement for Professor Sun's team that lacks backup. In order to achieve results in this exploration, it is necessary to rely on his formidable force.

"Okay, we're here, according to what they said, the entrance seems to be in this area, but it's getting late today, we should get ready for camping!"

The estimated time was greatly shortened by the fact that there were no alien attacks along the way, and the truck brought everyone to the vicinity of the destination not long after nightfall, and Gong Liang couldn't help but call it lucky.

The first rule of survival in the wild is to choose exactly where the camp will be stationed. The ground of the camp must be hard to prevent some xenos who are good at burrowing from launching a surprise attack on the camp through the tunnels, and the other is to have a good view, and don't wait until you are surrounded by xenomorphs to find that the form is not good.

In the end, they chose to camp in a parched, saline land, a dead place where almost any creature could not survive, and which generally did not hide danger.

Then Liu Yuxin and Zhang Hong took the initiative to undertake the task of keeping vigil, and after setting up enough early warning around the truck, Liu Yuxin equipped the mecha and began to patrol, while Zhang Hong stayed on the cannon position on the roof of the car.

"Whew~, whew~woo~"

In the middle of the night, the wind on the desert blew more and more coldly, and the large sand and gravel wrapped in the strong wind made Liu Yuxin's armor surface crackle.

Suddenly, Liu Yuxin saw a few red dots on her biological detection radar flash away.

Radar malfunctioned?

Liu Yuxin couldn't help muttering in her heart. The information captured in that moment just now showed that about six kilometers away from Liu Yuxin, the bioradar had detected at least second-order or higher mutants for a moment. Only non-friendly mobs that pose a lethal threat to humans will be marked in striking red by the radar.

But even a fourth-order creature can't step out of his radar range in an instant!

"Brother Zhang, there are some situations ahead, I'll go over and check, and the safety near the camp will be all handed over to you first."

Liu Yuxin explained the situation to Zhang Hong through the communication device in the mecha.

"Then you pay attention to safety, the desert is full of xenos who are very good at making holes!"

"I'll be careful, don't worry, Brother Zhang, although the radar on my mecha is an old model from decades ago, it is not an ordinary xenomorph that can ambush, I'm leaving, Brother Zhang."

Liu Yuxin brought normal assault equipment this time, in addition to swords and electromagnetic rifles, he also carried several powerful plasma **, Liu Yuxin believed that even if he encountered a large number of xenomorphs, he could kill them.

Piloted the mecha to the scene of the incident, and there was only a vast expanse around him. The manic night wind and dark canopy made it impossible for anyone to see fifty meters away, and in this visibility, it was almost delusional to make a discovery.

Liu Yuxin, who had found nothing, just wanted to go back to the camp, and suddenly had an idea to turn on the infrared detection mode of the mecha, and the things in the surrounding range of several kilometers were separated by their own temperatures, and Liu Yuxin suddenly found that there was an area different from other places under the cold sand at night, and the heat drifted from those places to the ground in a red line pattern and was carried away by the wind.

That place is the entrance to the cave!

Liu Yuxin had a hint of excitement in her heart, this place was already very close to the cave where Gong Liang got the jade slip, if there was a road to the underground, there was a chance that she could reach that place through this underground passage.

Liu Yuxin walked forward for more than two hundred steps, and sure enough, she saw a cave mouth in front of her that was going down diagonally, Liu Yuxin walked to the entrance of the cave and looked inside, the cave was dark, and it was difficult to get any useful information from it.

Liu Yuxin looked at the dashboard of her mecha again, the red wires that represented heat were even denser, and at this distance, Liu Yuxin could already see the source of those heat emitted from the infrared detector - there were many humanoid creatures densely scattered underground, they obviously did not belong to the cold-blooded program, and they were emitting a lot of heat energy from the outside all the time.

Those creatures also seemed to sense Liu Yuxin's arrival, and they all hid in the rock crevices in the cave.

Liu Yuxin suddenly fell into a dilemma, he didn't know if these creatures were friendly, and if he went on rashly, he would probably fall into a siege.

Afraid of what? It's a big deal!

After thinking about it again, Liu Yuxin gritted her teeth and walked into the cave.

The creatures underground, apparently trying to ambush him, slowly moved around the cavern's hideouts as he entered the passage, forming a semi-circular ambush circle in a relatively open area. Based on the distance between them, Liu Yuxin was sure that they didn't have any long-range attack methods, which also made Liu Yuxin slightly more courageous.

The creatures in the cave move silently and are very good at using their surroundings to hide themselves, but under the detectors on the mechs, it all loses its meaning, and the heat emitted by their movements makes their bodies shine like candles in the dark.

Liu Yuxin, who walked to the bottom of the cave, took a moment to adjust her position in order to get a better shooting angle.

"Do! Quiver! ”

Liu Yuxin fired two rapid bursts in succession, and the metal firing pins that burst out of the barrel pierced the heads of the two creatures with precision.

"Poof!"

Two snow-white humanoids fell from the top of the cavern, their pointed ears, about three to four times the length of humans, their whites of their eyes protected by a transparent layer of eyelids, and their noses that had degenerated into two tiny round holes.

This is not something that can be mutated in a hundred years! These creatures are xenomorphs that existed before the Earth even began to mutate!

Liu Yuxin's two shots were like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the remaining xenomorphs rushed to Liu Yuxin regardless of their bodies, regardless of whether they could bite or not, opening their big mouth full of fangs was a burst of gnawing.

Liu Yuxin circled with them in the cave with the help of those stalactites with different peaks, and unconsciously broke away from the cave entrance.

Worst!

Liu Yuxin, who found that her back road was broken, took out the plasma ** and prepared to open the way, and a sharp knife light went straight to the back of Liu Yuxin's head, this long-planned attack was obviously several grades higher than other xenomorphs! Liu Yuxin, who didn't have time to react to other things, could only lie forward along the knife light, and then kicked her legs back with both hands.

The sneak attacker didn't expect that Liu Yuxin's perception and reaction were very outstanding, and in such a fierce melee, he could still dodge his own inevitable knife and give himself a counterattack.

"Phew!"

With a loud noise that resounded through the cave, the sneak attacker was kicked out by Liu Yuxin and slammed into the rock wall of the cave, and the entire cave seemed to shake with it, and a lot of rubble fell from under the dome of the cave.

Although the power was amazing, Liu Yuxin knew that the sneak attacker was not seriously injured, because where his foot touched the xenomorph, the mecha fed back a feeling of softness, which showed that the other party had unimaginable toughness, and the damage just now was far lighter than it seemed.

After Liu Yuxin kicked it, she flipped over once, and then pulled out the ** in her hand and threw it out. After a few breaths, shiny green plasma lit up the entire cavern.
