Jack heard that the communication with Changshun was broken, and it was expected that Changshun was chasing the enemy, and went deep underground, and the rocky soil and underground river were complicated and lost the signal. So he came up with the idea to concentrate on 1 point of bombing, and use the vibration of the bombing to point out the direction to Changshun. However, after a few more hours, and the contact with Changshun could not be restored, Jack felt that it might have been plotted by the rat people, so he took the main force to the place where Changshun finally sent the signal.

17 The Director reported: "This is where the last signal of the Changshun forces came from. However, there were no passable roads around. Many roads are flooded. ”

Jack said, "I guess he must have been chasing the enemy through some tunnel." And after he passed, whether it was the relationship of the tides or the conspiracy of the rat people, in short, the road was flooded, and he couldn't come back. ”

17 The director asked worriedly, "Could Changshun have already had an accident?" ”

Jack said, "Probably not. The weapons and equipment of the rat people were far worse than those of Changshun's raiding team, and they should have been trapped by the complex terrain of the underground cavern. ”

17 The Director added, "What if he does find him this time, the man we have been searching for?" ”

"Do you speak of King Nihod?" Jack asked.

Director 17 was stunned and said, "I experienced that incident back then, and every time I think about it, I feel scared. Even our internal defenses had begun to crumble. Maybe he can hold on for a few more seconds, and history will be different. ”

Jack said, "It's a pity. He's just a few seconds away! However, the Nezumi have not developed in their escape over the years, so it is difficult for King Nehod to make any progress if he is really alive. In terms of weapons at that time, Changshun's troops were not afraid of his magnetic waves. ”

"Hey, I thought it would take 1 year at most to hunt them down, but who knows that 15 years will pass! Whether this King Nihod is dead or not is really reassuring. 17 Director sighed.

Jack said: "Drain the water first, and find Changshun talking." ”

Jack's army is much larger than Changshun's, with half of the 5,000 frogmen here. In some places, pumping equipment is used to start draining the water, while in others the water is vaporized with laser weapons and then pumped to the ground.

After a few hours, Director 17 came back and reported: "Several tunnels that have been drained have been sent to look at them, but no trace of them has been found. ”

Jack thought to himself, supposedly their army would not have been wiped out so plainly. There is not even a trace of a battle in the place found so far. What's wrong with them?

"Report! Discover traces of large-scale battles! 17 The director had just left, and then turned back and said.

"Oh?" Jack immediately stepped forward and said, "Take me to see it!" ”

It turned out that there was a waterway, which seemed to have a certain source of water replenishment, so it was relatively difficult to drain it, but when the drainage reached the half-flooded tunnel, the 17 supervisor had already sent someone to check it.

Jack was also half-wet from going through that waterway, and frowned at the traces they said, "This is a squad-level unit at best." ”

Director 17 nodded, "About 2 squads, looking at the traces here, it seems that our 2 frogman squads came out of this side separately." Shoot this way. And where they were, there were traces left by the weapons of the rat men. They were surrounded. ”

Jack said: "Then it should be speculated that Changshun is still ahead." Then after the back road was cut off, a team was sent to explore the way, and this is the team that came back to find a way back and encountered an ambush! ”

So they immediately began to continue to drain water in the direction of the speculated Changshun troops, and deployed considerable combat power to prepare for the exchange of fire with the enemy at any time!

Finally, Jack and his party arrive in a huge cavern with traces of firefighting. This is the cave when Changshun fought with the nezumi. The troops quickly stood on guard while Director 17 analyzed the traces left by the engagement.

Jack was looking around at his analysis.

"It looks like Changshun and they should be fighting well. This position has traces of his chariote, and there is no hindrance, cutting off the enemy's position, then it should be a victory. 17 Director said that he had basically recovered the course of the battle.

And Jack looked at the place behind Changshun that was used as a position to hold and said, "What forced him to give up the attack and choose to hold on?" ”

And soon a scout discovered the rock wall that Changshun had opened up.

Jack said: "Seeing that the nezumi are retreating in those directions, send troops to continue the pursuit." Let's see if Changshun retreated to the cave next to it? ”

After crossing a rock face on an apparently groomed road, it took a few more kilometers. Jack finally found Changshun and his troops, all of whom were in a coma, without any signs of a fight.

"That's weird. Why did they all faint after they fled here? "17 Director Qidao.

Jack looked around at the little fluorescence and said, "I'm afraid there is something wrong with the plants or fungi here." Take some samples and carry them well. Evacuate quickly! ”

In this way, although Changshun's pursuit encountered the main force of the rat man and suffered heavy losses, he failed to achieve annihilation, but instead fell into a coma for unknown reasons.

And Jack got the samples they had taken.

After analyzing the spores of Lin 2 frog and 17 supervisors for a period of time, they agreed that these fungi and the spores they released were the culprits of Changshun's coma, and these fungi released spores, when the number was large, it looked like smoke, but in fact, they were very fine spores, and these spores could parasitize on the skin of frogmen! Therefore, Changshun's gas masks to deal with poison gas are useless, and once parasitic on the body, they release toxins, and the skin of frogmen plays a certain role in breathing, so the toxins quickly enter the bloodstream and cause coma.

And this toxin is no stranger to Lin 2 frogs. Originally, Qingxue and Lin 2 Frog made paper to avoid using the paper provided by King Nihod, which contained the same ingredients.

"It seems that that kind of paper was mixed with this fungus when it was made!" Qingxue makes a point.

Lin 2 Frog agreed and said, "I didn't expect this fungus to be so widely distributed underground. And more intensively. ”

And Jack on the side shouted anxiously: "Call all the troops back immediately!" Give up the pursuit! Give up the pursuit! "The thought that there might be more troops that might encounter Changshun's misfortune, no one cared about Jack's panic.

Jack is really panicking now, if the nezumi finds out that this is the best weapon against the frogman, the consequences will be unimaginable. This fungus is extremely widespread on the planet! Only pea forests do not have this fungus. Could it be that he and Pea are mutually restrained?
