Chapter 476: Scales

Just at this time, a staff member ran in, nodded at Zhou Lao, and immediately reported the situation to him, "A thousand alien alien creatures below the third level. Two hundred fourth-level aliens, as well as twenty fifth-level and two sixth-level and one seventh-level aliens. One of the sixth-level creatures is a plasma-like spirit-type alien creature. ”

"So much!" Zhou Lao, who originally had a relaxed expression on his face, paused suddenly, "More and more at a time, and plasma-like creatures?" It seems that the exploration progress will have to be accelerated, and this human base may be completely breached at any time. ”

Lin Xiao couldn't help but shake his head.

Another reason why the progress of the exploration of Azazel has not been slow is that the bases established by humans can never be guaranteed to exist. To date, there have only been three truly permanent human bases, and the rest have all been built temporarily.

Looking at Zhou Lao's way, I'm afraid that this base won't last long.

"Can you hold it this time?" After sighing, Zhou Lao asked the staff member again.

"There will definitely be no problem in holding on this time, but I am afraid that it will cost a lot of money. Mr. Zhou, don't you want to report to the board of directors. Too much money is spent, and we won't make much money this time in exploration. ”

"Make money, make money, know how to make money!" Zhou Lao immediately rolled his eyes, snorted lightly, and then continued, "Don't worry about the money, I'm fully responsible for the things here!" ”

The man nodded hurriedly, and then quickly retreated.

"Open the noise barrier!" Then, Zhou Lao said to another person at the door.

There was a faint humming sound, and the roar and roar from outside immediately disappeared.

After Zhou Lao smiled at Lin Xiao, he lightly tapped on the map again.

The map shrank rapidly, revealing the map of Stonehenge and the surrounding area, with several red crosses on the map, enclosing the Stonehenge.

Zhou Lao didn't explain to Lin Xiao what those red crosses were, but just pointed to the only direction on the map that didn't have a red cross. "Following the discovery of Stonehenge, our researchers discovered extraordinary energy fluctuations around Stonehenge, a signal of energy that has never been detected in human history."

Then, Zhou Lao's finger pointed in the direction of Stonehenge, which was not marked with a red cross, "After this period of investigation, we can determine that the direction of the energy source that has not been checked is here." And if I'm not mistaken, there should be an underground entrance underneath here. Because the source of energy should be a few hundred meters underground. ”

"This seems like a normal exploration operation, so you don't have to use me, do you?" Lin Xiao nodded at first, and then asked Old Zhou strangely.

"Originally, I really didn't need you. But luckily, I didn't expect you to come just in time. Zhou Lao wiped his nose and said with a smile, "As I said before, the oracle bone inscription deciphered by our experts has not been completely detoxified. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhou Lao still lowered his head and smiled, "Although the writing logic of the oracle bone inscription has always been in the same vein as the current text, it is too long ago. Moreover, the oracle bone inscription is a pictograph, and the current Huaxia script is a table ideogram. There are still some faults in it. ”

"Although we have gained a lot from what you have translated. But there is no way, there are also rare characters in the oracle bone inscription. Old Zhou shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "If you find the oracle bone inscription again, I'm afraid you will still need your translation." ”

"Old man!" Lin Xiao nodded lightly. But then he smiled and shook his head, "It's not just that, even if there are rare words, it's just to make you spend some time." Old man, I've said it all, just say what you have, don't hide your armpits. ”

"Ahem!" Old Zhou coughed embarrassedly, "I still need you to help us do something, I'll tell you later." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the people around the map, "Let's talk about our specific route tomorrow." ”

One of them stepped forward and tapped lightly on the map. The map zoomed in quickly, and the direction that Zhou Lao pointed to before that was not marked with a red cross quickly zoomed in.

"We discussed it and decided that we should do the opposite!" The man who enlarged the map pointed to one of the areas, "Just from here, it's just a wooded area, and the terrain isn't that rugged. It's much easier to walk than other places. ”

"And the energy source we predicted would only be less than ten miles away from this area, and then a plain would be there."

"Here?" After hearing his words, Old Zhou's brows furrowed quickly, "Are you really sure to go here?" Although the terrain here is relatively good, the things here are the most difficult to deal with, right? ”

"I'll need to ask the Holy Sif for help." The man quickly looked at Sif to the side.

Before Zhou Lao could ask for her opinion, Sif smiled, "It just so happens that I actually want to propose to take this path." It's much easier to deal with these demons than it is to deal with the alien creatures. ”

Those who had been discussing before were all relieved to hear this.

And after the commentator quickly thanked Sif Shif, he hurriedly said to Zhou Lao, "If it goes well, we can build a temporary camp out of the plain." And with the situation of the surrounding beasts, our temporary camp can be completely stopped. ”

"If it doesn't go well, we think it's enough to get us to the plains. The terrain in that area is very good, and once we have set up camp, we will be able to hold out until help arrives. ”

"Don't worry about it going badly, with the number and number of us, as long as we take that road, we can definitely easily reach our destination." No sooner had the words of the commentary been spoken than Sif spoke.

Everyone turned to look at her again, and she still had a very warm smile on her face, but there was a strong confidence in her eyes. This is no different from when she fought with Lin Xiao. “

"Good!" Zhou Lao also nodded to Sif gratefully. Then he turned to the people who had gathered around the map and said, "I don't have any objection to this course of action. You go down and make specific arrangements. Tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock we will gather and leave on time. In addition, report this course of action to the Board of Directors. ”

"Okay, okay!" Several people around the map nodded at the same time, and then hurriedly got out of the room.

"Boss Zhou, then I'll go first." After nodding his head slightly to Zhou Lao, Sif turned his head to look at Lin Xiao again, and said sincerely, "Please tell me after thinking about what you need me to compensate." ”

Without waiting for Lin Xiao to answer, Sif also walked out of the room.

As soon as she left, Lin Xiao said to Zhou Lao straight to the point, "Say, what else do you need me to do?" ”

After taking a slight sip, Old Zhou said to Lin Xiao in a deep voice, "There is a good chance that we will need your blood. ”

"My blood?" Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows, looking suspicious.

Zhou Lao nodded heavily, but then he smiled again, "I almost fooled you last time in Meierxing, but fortunately, our first expedition will be fully monitored, and all your small movements have been filmed." ”

Lin Xiao's heart was beating wildly, "No! ”

"Don't be scared like this, if you really want to settle accounts, the people of our group have already come to the door. The little thing you cheated on is not much for our group. ”

Zhou Lao waved his hand to Lin Xiao, signaling that he was at ease, he half-narrowed his eyes again, and tentatively asked Lin Xiao, "Actually, in Meierxing, the door of the ruin we explored can be opened, it's your blood, right?" ”

"Oops!" Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat.

That's right, he was the one who opened the door in the first place.

And since Zhou Lao knew the original facts, it is very likely that Zhou Lao also knew that he was extraordinary. In addition, Zhou Lao can be sure that he can cultivate "Eight or Nine Xuangong", but he is afraid that he also knows the root cause.

"Huh!" While his brain was spinning rapidly, Lin Xiao smiled at Zhou Laozhi, "You made a mistake." ”

"That's right!" Zhou Lao said with a smile, "Although the Mer Star was destroyed at the beginning, the strange thing, the doors of those ruins on the Mel Star were all left. It was all able to withstand the energy of a planet's explosion. ”

"And it just so happened that our group recycled all those 'doors'."

"So what?" The expression on Old Zhou's face was already very confident, but Lin Xiao still didn't admit defeat, and then asked.

"We have collected the blood of many people, but not a single person's blood can respond to those 'gates'. And our luck was so good that the 'door' of the ruins we explored was also recovered by us. And on that door, we collected a very strange set of genes, and that gene came from a person's blood! ”

"Damn! Is my blood dripping on the door still there? The words have already reached this point, and of course Lin Xiao knows that there is no need to quibble anymore. After spitting, he glanced at Zhou Lao angrily, "You businessmen, are you too greedy?" ”

"Greedy for what? Mel was originally contracted by our company, and everything found on it was our assets, so what's wrong with recycling those things? Zhou Lao looked calm, but then smiled, "In addition to our good luck, it is also your bad luck." The door has absorbed your blood and stored it. And the weirdest thing is that the location where your blood is stored actually makes that door come alive! ”

"Active?" Lin Xiao's heart was shocked again, and he hurriedly asked Zhou Lao, "What does this mean?" ”

"That door and the piece of thing for you, according to our latest research, are most likely the same thing. And it's most likely the scales of some kind of creature! ”
