Episode 1: The Origin of the World Chapter 15: Exploring the Tunnel

Previous Chapter

"Add some pepper, yes, bake for a while......."

Without kitchen utensils, the two lit a fire and started a nightblade leopard barbecue meeting. There are also a few accomplices who eat and drink together.

Sure enough, the professional is different. Han Fei thought to himself, and ate a large piece of ribs in two bites. Liang Qian said in surprise:

"Huh? It seems to be true, and the recovery speed of mental power has increased by 17.43%, why is there a whole zero? Because there are zero and whole words, even if I'm talking nonsense, others will believe it, hahahaha~~"

"Han Fei, you are a fool, you won't think I believe your nonsense, you are greedy~"

"But it tastes really good! I'll have to bring some back with me, so the restaurant can come up with new dishes."

“......”

Han Fei felt tired, Boss Liang's thinking was too jumpy, and he couldn't keep up......

The problem was that he didn't know how to explain it, and the occult couldn't explain the indecision. Resilience is a data that varies from person to person and is related to many factors. Seeing the machine cleaning the battlefield and cleaning up the corpse of the Nightblade Leopard, he suddenly had another plan:

"You see so much meat, why don't you go and suggest to the commander to improve the food for everyone, now you need food to comfort everyone's injured body and mind." Han Fei pointed to a few companions who were still feasting. When they heard this, they also nodded hurriedly:

"yes, yes, it's delicious."

Liang Qian was a little moved by this proposal, and the method of disposing of these nightblade leopard carcasses was to transport them back and decompose them into various organic matter through a machine to turn them into raw materials for synthetic food. Now it seems that the middleman link is directly skipped, and it seems to save energy......

"Hmm, let me think about it, did you do it? It's delicious! Ma Yiyun gulped down the barbecue sent by Liang Qian, Liang Qian just said Han Fei's suggestion, Ma Yiyun thought about it for a while, and said:

"Have you been tested? Will it be dangerous? ”

"No, but I ate a lot when I was in the wild, and I haven't had any bad reactions so far. And don't you eat it too......"

Liang Qian replied. The animals of the wilderness are rarely eaten unless they are a last resort.

After the era of natural disasters, it is not only the era of natural disasters for human beings, but also for all kinds of wild animals. The surviving animals and plants have all undergone varying degrees of mutation under unknown factors. After humans discovered the technology of synthesizing food, few people tried wild meat again, only some people who lit up some strange talent would try it, and there were even records of hunger-death every year.

"Then let's check it first, and if you're sure it's okay, do as you say." Ma Yiyun licked his fingers:

"By the way, go bake me two more... Oh no, five plates! Just go. ”

The results of the simple test came out quickly, and driven by Liang Qian's live broadcast of barbecue on the local area network, more and more people joined this barbecue feast.

As a result, more and more people are lighting up a strange talent......

The consequences of the attack on the mine were so severe that most of the plans were put on hold. The garrison had to remain stationed to ensure that the mine could resume production as soon as possible.

In Huicheng, the second round of search and rescue plans has also been completed. All the teams sent out earlier have been found - some have found people, some have found corpses. The original plan to open up the Cha'an road had to be shelved.

The team led by Zhang Anning has also successfully developed and produced the psionic concentration detector prototype, and several elite teams are testing it in order to find the source of psionic energy dispersion as soon as possible. But on the mining side, there seems to be a better way.

In the conference room of the Daji Mine, a meeting is taking place about the five tunnels left behind by the alien beast. Liang Qian, as the person with the highest authority in the scientific research institute, also participated in the meeting. By the way, the five holes have now been arranged with bombs, ready to explode at any time, and the exits are even densely targeted by the muzzles, and even if it is a piece of alloy, it will have to be melted for you.

"You see, the five tunnels, according to the trajectory of the epicenter recorded before, one faces north, one faces south, and the remaining three are all extending to the west, which is also the culprit that caused the collapse of the mine."

"Although the three paths are in different directions, they are generally the same. What is the purpose of this channel? It is to transport a large number of beasts, so it is concluded that the number of beasts in the west must be more than in the north and south, so the origin of the beast tide, with a high probability, is in this direction. ”

A staff officer opened the map and spoke to someone in the field. Everyone present nodded their heads in agreement with this analysis.

"The research institute has confirmed that there are indeed differences in the intensity of psionic energy in different regions, and the overall increase is still increasing, and we must find the source and figure out what is really going on."

"I suggest that when you send an elite team to reconnoitre, you must determine the specific location."

"I agree!"

"Agreed!"

"Seconded!"

Ma Yiyun sat on the top, rubbing his beard with his left hand, and then nodded slowly.

"Yes."

"Right now, there is a shortage of strength, and we can only draw two teams at most. I've already made a list of plans, Commander, take a look at them first! "As everyone knows, Commander Ma is a reckless man, so most of the time it is the staff that is making plans, and Ma Yiyun only needs to choose and decide. The two teams on the list are very well matched and can handle all kinds of situations in stride, which is obviously well thought out. Liang Qian, as a powerful person, is impressively listed.

The tunnel in the middle is the most suspicious, and the three attackers escaped from this tunnel, which must be explored, looking at the remaining two choices, Ma Yiyun's heart moved, and suddenly remembered the occult kid. Then he said:

"Dong Zhao, you lead the team to the middle one. Liang Qian, you go and ask Han Fei, the route of your team is decided by him. ”

Everyone was surprised, and they whispered to ask where this Han Fei was sacred. He didn't make Han Fei's matter public, after all, things involving the occult were very troublesome to explain, so he didn't bother to say it. When the time comes, just quietly reward that kid.

"Alright, let's adjourn. Everyone should seize the time to rest and act as planned tomorrow. ”

......

"What? Are you going too? Han Fei asked in surprise, except when he needed to make a report, he would always subconsciously ignore that Liang Qian was a Level IV veteran of the scientific research institute. Most of the time it's still the image of the owner of the store and the foodie.

"What's so strange about that?" Liang Qian asked rhetorically:

"And the commander said, the route of our squad is up to you. Aren't you occult? Come and help me have a hunch of which tunnel will be the point of origin? ”

"Can I not go? I'm just a small role in Cheng'an now. I can't afford such a heavy responsibility! Han Fei replied from the heart.

"I didn't say you should go, and you're not on the list. It's just for you to use your occult great prophecy to help me determine which way to go. ”

Hearing this, Han Fei was relieved, but at the same time, he had three points of loss and two points of regret. He replied:

"Okay, then I'll go back and rest first, and I'll give you a good premonition tomorrow."

The night passed.

After breakfast--- breakfast was a porridge made of synthetic food and nightblade leopard meat, and the recipe was provided by Liang Qian. The members of the two teams reminisced about the aftertaste in their mouths, and they had assembled. Each squad is seven people, all in a 4+3 combination.

4 Kinetic Armor + 3 Abilities.

The multi-functional minecarts of each team were modified overnight, and it was said that it was modified, but in fact, it was to remove some unnecessary professional equipment and install several vigilant robots. It's too late to change the operating system or something.

"Do you have a hunch? It's about to go! Liang Qian hugged Han Fei for a moment, and asked in a low voice. The people next to him looked over one after another, and Han Fei suddenly felt like a man's back, and quickly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, forcibly calmed down, and felt the difference between the two tunnels with his heart.

"Male left, female right, Liang Qian is a woman and goes to the left, no, their captain is a man, and the captain should be the main one, that is, to go to the right.........." Han Fei had words in his heart, he knew the occultism of ghosts, and this time Xiaoxing had no new entries.

However, in Liang Qian's eyes, Han Fei was now reading words in his mouth, and suddenly frowned, his fists sometimes loosened and sometimes clenched. It's like contacting and communicating with some unknown being......

"No matter, just get one!" Han Fei raised his right hand and slowly moved towards the pit on the right, and suddenly his heart moved spiritually, and his arm spared a circle and then pointed to the one on the left:

"This one!"

"Okay, then I'll report to the captain. Bye! Liang Qian waved her hand and said, about to turn around and leave. At this time, a huge sense of loss hit Han Fei, and his heart seemed to be empty, and he couldn't help blurting out:

"Wait, can I go along?"

"Huh? What are you going to do? I'll ask the captain. Liang Qian, who had walked a few steps, turned around and asked suspiciously, and Han Fei hurriedly followed.

"You? It's not a game. I've figured it out for myself," the captain said in a skeptical tone. The captain's name is Jiang Guan, he is in his thirties, and he has three upper marks on his cheeks, which seem to have only healed recently, and he should have been injured by the Nightblade Leopard. Han Fei always looked a little familiar. Jiang Guan looked at the psionic armor worn by Han Fei and understood that he was also a capable person, so he nodded and said:

"Come if you want to, don't hold back!"

"Let's go!"

The multi-functional minecart has good passability, even in the mining area with complex terrain. The two squads each entered the tunnel.

The tunnel is also circular in shape, and until now, no one knows how it was excavated. The object that had split into four petals had turned into a coating that had been ten centimeters out of the exit, like some kind of biological matrix. The inner walls of the tunnel are clean and tidy, and there are no objects such as dirt and stones.

The two minecarts drove one after the other, maintaining a distance of 100 meters from each other. The car in front had its headlights on, and the powerful lights shone in, but there was still no end in sight. The claustrophobic space makes people feel a little frightened and depressed. Han Fei had to find something to talk about.

"Captain, what do you have to do with Jiang Ya?"

"I'm his brother."

"No wonder, I just said it's very familiar, and this name is also very brotherly."

Hearing Han Fei's reply and glancing at him, Han Fei hurriedly explained:

"Hey, he was my last captain."

Jiang Guan ignored him and turned his head to continue driving. It is worth mentioning that the driver of the rear car is Liang Qian. This squad is now configured as 4+4, and it is 2+2 for each car. Han Fei, as a person with the ability to perceive the domain on the surface, was naturally arranged in the car in front.

The tunnel twists and turns, and after driving 20 kilometers, the vehicle came to an underground cave. This cave is supposed to be a section of a dark river, which is fusiform; Looking up, the top is almost more than fifty meters high, densely hung with stalactites, the ground is dry, and the dark river should have been cut off for a long time.

With the help of lighting, several people discovered that there were three forks in the tunnel. Jiang Guan looked back at Han Fei, as if to say, it's your turn.

Han Fei observed it, and there was a clear difference between the three forks. The two on the left are flush with the ground, and the one on the far right is more than ten meters above the ground. After thinking for a while, Han Fei pointed to the tunnel on the right.

The process of thinking is probably similar to the secret technique mantra of choosing the shortest among three long and one short. Anyway, it's right to choose a different one.

Jiang Guan nodded, he also wanted to choose this one.

"Start on the right and scout one by one!"

Turn on the minecart's excavator and dig a diagonal path for the two carts to continue exploring. After turning and twisting, the minecart traveled less than five kilometers before exiting the tunnel.

This exit was opened on a slope, and the route automatically recorded by the minecart was located somewhere on the other side of the northwest mountain range of the mining area.

Return to the cave and begin to explore the second cave as planned. Less than five kilometers from this hole, a new situation appeared, and looking at the fork in front of him, Han Fei was stunned. No way, let's continue to check one by one.

Over the next three hours, the team encountered several forks in the road in a row, like veins on a leaf, forming a small underground network. However, the minecart can automatically record its walking path, so there is no risk of getting lost.

At twelve o'clock at noon, eight people had a quick lunch, and Jiang Guan said:

"Time is running out, so let's split into two groups to explore separately, starting from here, and gather once an hour."

The rest of the people nodded in agreement, in all the tunnels that had been explored before, no trace of a strange beast was found, and everyone estimated that it may be this attack, and all the strange beasts around the mining area were dispatched, and there was no one left.

Another three hours passed, and the two cars converged again without incident. Looking at the trajectory recorded by the minecart, it is now close to fifty kilometers away from the mine in a straight line. The car continued to drive ahead one after the other.

When he crossed a certain line, Han Fei suddenly felt a burst of relief. It's like swimming from 30 degrees to 60 degrees. Han Fei was busy asking in the channel:

"Do you feel anything different? Just now. ”

"Stop!" When Jiang Guan heard this, he immediately stopped the car cautiously, turned his head to stare at Han Fei's eyes, and asked solemnly:

"What did you find?"

"That's it, ......" Han Fei gestured for a long time, but he couldn't describe the feeling, and suddenly he had an idea,

"Liang Qian, can you try to use your ability to see if there is any difference between you and usual?"

"I advise you to put away your caution and be patient while I still have it." Jiang Guan stared at Han Fei with a slightly disgusted look, and Han Fei felt a little inexplicable.

Liang Qian sent a private message and quietly asked:

"Did you find anything?"

"You're a spell-like person, have you noticed any changes in the unknown particles in the air from before?"

"Unknown particles? You're talking about psionic energy, right? I didn't pay attention, but even if there were, it was normal, right? Psionic strength is not fixed. The same place may be different at different times. Don't you know? ”

"How would I know, I'm just a small role in Cheng'an now......"

The convoy turned a corner, and a bright light suddenly shone in front of it......

The export arrived.
