After Chen Xin took over the 95 rifle, the first thing he did was to check the barrel and bullets, which were also some basic combat qualities that Xie Guoping taught him.

"No need to check, the magazine is empty, everything else is fine."

With a faint light, Chen Xin glanced at Xie Guoping, startled, and saw that his face was actually black, "Is this a bite on your face?" ”

Xie Guoping wiped his face, and he didn't know where to take out his dagger, "It's okay, the 95 rifle is like this, it's smoky." That, I'll try not to use a gun later, and it's okay to throw it here, and then the environment is a bit complicated. ”

"Throw it here?!" Although he trusted what Xie Guoping said, Chen Xin was still a little hesitant to throw away the rifle he had in his hand, after all, this thing meant a lot of supplies in the settlement.

"That's right, I don't mind if you find it convenient to take him." After speaking, Xie Guoping pointed to a hole in the garage wall not far away, this hole is only half a person high, and people must bend over all the time if they want to get in, if it is in such a hole, whether it is carrying this rifle or holding it in their hands, it will definitely not be very convenient.

"There's my team's gear at the entrance to the cave, I'm pretty sure." Xie Guoping approached the irregular, like a hole that had been blown open by explosives, picked up a helmet from the gravel on the ground, and there was a cylinder-like tactical equipment on the helmet, and handed it to Chen Xin after taking a look.

"Two people in my squad have night vision devices. This is one of them, it can still be used, you wear it on your head. ”

Chen Xin knew why Xie Guoping went into this hole, "It's better to use Team Xie, you need it more." ”

"I have shimmer vision." Xie Guoping said lightly, put the helmet directly on Chen Xin's head, and turned on the switch of the night vision device.

Hearing what Xie Guoping said, Chen Xin didn't insist on refusing, he knew the "low-light vision" ability, which belonged to the third-order ability of the perception domain! It turned out that this Xie Guoping was already a third-order warrior, or rather, at least a third-order warrior or above, no wonder he was so violent.

But according to Chen Xin's previous chat with Xie Guoping, whether it is the military department or the 01 base, the genetic evolution technology is obviously not perfect, and even the evolution medicine above the third order is unstable, generally speaking, a character like Xie Guoping will not accept the existence as an experimental product, then, Chen Xin is basically certain that this Xie Guoping is most likely an awakened person who belongs to natural evolution!

In the "Wasteland Survival Handbook", no matter how they are classified, the human awakened can be divided into two categories, one is the awakened person catalyzed by genetic medicine, that is, the existence of Chen Xinxian, and the other is the human who naturally evolved into the awakened person. This kind of awakened person, according to Chen Xin's speculation, should be a type of person whose body is extremely adapted to the virus, and can even use the proliferation of the virus in the body, in turn, to optimize their own genetic combination and break through their own limits.

For Chen Xin, natural awakening not only means that he can save evolution elixir, but also means super combat ability. Because the awakened people who are catalyzed are generally forcibly improved by the medicine to improve all kinds of physical fitness, similar to building a house with a frame first, and then filling it with bricks and stones, it really takes a lot of running-in process to touch the upper limit of the frame.

But the awakened person who evolves naturally, under normal circumstances, constantly evolves slowly on his own, until his strength breaks through the boundaries of those mysterious and mysterious, but does exist, and he naturally becomes the next level of awakened person. Therefore, the natural awakened can exert their strength one hundred percent, or even one hundred and twenty percent.

After knowing that Xie Guoping was a natural awakener, Chen Xin became even more determined to hug Xie Guoping's thighs. After adjusting the position of the night vision device, he followed Xie Guoping into the hole in front of him, and there were natural awakened people at least two orders higher than himself exploring the way in front of him, and he felt that there was nothing to worry about at all, as long as he didn't lose it.

According to Chen Xin's speculation, this hole is a gentle slope facing downward, fortunately, there is no embarrassment of smaller diameter, and there is no new situation, but Chen Xin found that there are some sticky liquids stuck to the cave wall along the way, and there are several times when the body is not well controlled, and the head touches the cave wall, and the helmet is sticky.

After walking not much way, Chen Xin found that Xie Guoping's footsteps in front of him suddenly stopped, and when he thought that the person was missing, he felt that his mouth was covered by a pair of hands.

Chen Xin didn't struggle, he could feel that the person close to him was Xie Guoping, and there was no malice, he covered his hand and immediately withdrew it, knowing that he was signaling himself not to make a sound.

But Chen Xin didn't know what the situation was in front of him, he only knew that it would definitely not be a good situation, otherwise Xie Guoping would just give a low order, and there would be no need to make this kind of direct physical contact.

After waiting for a while, Xie Guoping dragged himself on, jumped from a hole, and arrived at an underpass of a height of others, which was full of potholes and a lot of stagnant water, and there was a foul smell.

"This is supposed to be the sewer of the Far East New Area, and now there is no one to use water, so it is basically deserted."

Xie Guoping observed it for a while and came to a conclusion.

"Did Team Xie find anything just now?" Chen Xin still had some doubts about Xie Guoping covering his mouth just now.

Xie Guoping pondered for a while, but still said, "Just now, a hairy horn crawled over. ”

"Mao Lazi?" Chen Xin wondered if he had misheard and didn't understand what Xie Guoping said.

"Caterpillar!" Xie Guoping knew that Chen Xin should not have understood his own soil name.

"What's there to be afraid of?!" Now Chen Xin figured out what it was, but he was obviously a little puzzled.

"He's as tall as me, and he has a lot of zombies hanging on him."

Chen Xin was a little shocked, opened his arms and gestured, and asked incredulously, "Such a long caterpillar?!! ”

"Nope! It's such a tall caterpillar and the teeth in the mouth are as long as your hands!! Xie Guoping accentuated the pronunciation on the word "high".

Chen Xin can understand why Xie Guoping covered his mouth just now, although after the outbreak of the virus, many animals have been catalyzed and mutated by the virus, and strange species have emerged in an endless stream, and even human-eating plants are not uncommon.

But the caterpillar, which is close to 2 meters tall, still has teeth, Chen Xin just imagined that the hairs on his back stood up, no wonder Xie Guoping had some gaffes just now.

"What's next?"

"Come along and take a look, I might know why I haven't seen any zombies along the way."

"Why?" Chen Xin had already followed Xie Guoping forward, the speed was not fast, both of them were probably shocked by the caterpillar just now, and their pace slowed down a lot.

"Either that caterpillar feeds on zombies, or it's just a means of transportation, don't you see that the zombies are hanging on the caterpillar's hair? Stop talking and stay vigilant! ”

After a while, Chen Xin saw the big caterpillar that Xie Guoping said, he didn't have Xie Guoping's shimmer vision ability, but he could still see a particularly large shadow wriggling in front of him, and every time he wriggled, a part of the big caterpillar would touch the upper edge of the underground passage.

Although the speed of the big caterpillar is not fast, anything is big enough to a certain extent, and it is very oppressive, if it weren't for the fact that there is a living legend on the side, Chen Xin would definitely turn around and run immediately. Moreover, judging from Chen Xin's biological knowledge, the one in front of him is not the "Mao Lazi" that Xie Guoping said, from the perspective of foot joints and walking methods, as well as the living environment, it is more similar to "worms"!

A few times when he got closer, Chen Xin also noticed that there would be some mucus dripping from the top of his head, falling on his body with a tingling pain, and after a closer look, it was the top of the passage that the big worm had touched before, and it was obviously the body fluid secreted by the big worm that was left on the top when it was wriggling.

The two carefully avoided the falling slime and kept their distance and followed.

After about half an hour, the big worm took the two out of the underground passage, and as soon as they came out, the two saw a huge underground space, the whole underground space is the size of several football fields, almost 300 meters long and wide, and on the wall, you can still vaguely see slogans such as "Far East Baima Port Sewage Treatment Plant" and "Accelerate sewage treatment for the benefit of future generations".

Just when Chen Xin was still looking at the environment, Xie Guoping patted Chen Xin on the shoulder and motioned to follow him along the wall

There are a lot of things similar to big iron buckets on the side, which are not short, and the words on the iron bucket should be sewage treatment equipment, and there are ladders on the side.

The underground space is different from the previous underground passage, there has been a sound of "Xi Xi Suosuo" all around, and you can also hear the wailing of human beings, Chen Xin heard it for the first time, and once thought it was his auditory hallucination, until he listened carefully, only to find that there were really a lot of wailing sounds.

"You heard that, right?" Xie Guoping saw that Chen Xin was listening attentively, and asked in a low voice.

"It's like..... Is it coming out of these iron buckets? Chen Xin was a little uncertain, his face was a little pale, anyone in such an environment, listening to the wails of the same kind all the time would be a little uncomfortable.

"I'll climb up and take a look, you'll keep an eye on me down there, and kill them if anything comes close." Speaking of this, Xie Guoping seemed to realize something, shook his head and said, "Forget it, you still go up and observe, I'll guard below." ”

Chen Xin knew that Xie Guoping was not optimistic about his combat effectiveness, and he was afraid that if he encountered the weakest evolved zombie, he would have to shoot to solve it, in this case, it was obviously not a good choice to make a big move.

Chen Xin had no objection, he climbed up along the iron ladder, the more he climbed up, the slower he climbed, and when he reached the top of the ladder, Chen Xin felt that he was as slow as in the movie, because as a doctor of biology, he knew that many advanced animals process retinal information is blurred, and it is easy to attract the attention of the nerve center if the action is not big and the change is very small, it is very likely that it will not be noticed by the observer, which is the same reason that carnivores will move slowly before hunting and sprinting.

The top of the ladder was a cut lower than the entire iron bucket, Chen Xin slowly poked his head out, and looked into the bucket with the help of night vision devices and the lights on the top.

After glancing at it, Chen Xin suppressed his heartbeat fiercely, so that he finally didn't gasp.

Inside the barrel were a myriad of pupae carefully arranged, and directly above each pupa was a human head, which looked like a person trapped in the pupae. The pupae and pupae are stacked on top of each other, just leaving a gap in the head and almost half of the iron bucket filled.

And the faint wail that Chen Xin heard came from the mouths of these people who were firmly wrapped in chrysalis.

It's just that these people's faces seem to be wrapped around a layer of filaments, and it is difficult to even open their eyes, let alone open their mouths and shout loudly.

There are also a lot of small worms in the iron bucket, crawling back and forth between the chrysalis and the human face, and whenever a worm scurries into the nose, ears or mouth that can't be closed, the person in the chrysalis will let out some muffled wails.

Chen Xin didn't dare to make a sound, looked around again, and after confirming that there was no other situation, he climbed down the ladder.

told Xie Guoping about the situation in the bucket, but Xie Guoping didn't say anything, just kept silent and continued to walk forward with Chen Xin.

The speed of the two of them was not slow, but they circled from the side, and through the gap between the iron buckets and the iron buckets, they also saw the big worm they had followed before, crawling on the road in the middle of the underground space.

Chen Xin also guessed that Xie Guoping had made up his mind to follow this big worm, as for where he was going, he didn't ask, anyway, he would definitely know if he followed.

The big worm crawled forward for more than a hundred meters, and it reached the middle of the underground space, and the area where Chen Xin and Xie Guoping were full of big iron buckets, although most of the iron buckets had wailing sounds, which made people panic, but with the cover of these iron buckets, the two of them were not afraid to be surrounded by the "little worms" here.

Yes, there are a lot of "little worms" here. Although Chen Xin called these worms "small worms", they were also small compared to the worms as big as a car not far away.

These "little worms" are as big as half a person, and the small ones are as thick as an arm. Along the way, they encountered many "small worms" of different sizes, all of which were cut into several sections by Xie Guoping with steel cables from afar. The "little worm" that has become several sections will not die immediately, but will roll back and forth many times, and a lot of mucus will be secreted from the place where the fracture occurs, Chen Xin looks like it should be the same kind of mucus as the mucus left on the wall of the cave when he came.

Chen Xin also found that if several worms found a few pieces of "small worms", they would immediately gather a bunch of "small worms", and each "little worm" would have a stump in its mouth, and they would not know where it had gone, and in a blink of an eye, there would only be a puddle of slightly whitish mucus on the ground.

Chen Xin had a very bad premonition, he suspected that they had found a corpse nest. In the "Wasteland Survival Handbook", even in the later stages, it is considered one of the most dangerous forbidden places, and there are countless high-level mature zombies and strange mutants in each corpse nest.

Of course, there is also a very significant feature that in each corpse nest, there is a corpse queen and countless corpse insects.

The high-level mature zombies have not been seen yet, and the corpses have not been seen, but the worms encountered along the way are very consistent with the description of corpse insects in the "Wasteland Survival Manual", which is a creature that provides food for the corpse, and has almost no combat effectiveness, but provides food for the entire corpse nest "worker ants" exist, and it has hardly been found anywhere else.

"It may still be in the early stages of virus evolution and mutation, so there may be corpse worms in other places besides the corpse nest!" Chen Xin comforted himself silently in his heart, but he knew that it was more likely that this corpse nest had not evolved to the point where it was perfected in the "Wasteland Survival Manual", to put it simply, the "base camp" had just been built, and the technology tree had not yet been ordered.
