Chapter 252: Insect Cocoon?

The only thing that people know is that after being occupied by the other party for a period of time, the fluctuations of new energy used for power generation will completely disappear, and eventually the entire building will collapse completely, presumably the interior will be quite badly damaged. Although everyone speculated that the little green-skinned dwarf launched the invasion in order to compete for this new energy source, it was never confirmed, so I always felt that it was a thing.

Now, the sled dog squad is on the verge of completing this historic mission.

Unlike previous ventures into the underground waterways, this time the impact on the signal was not significant, and Bigar could clearly see on the screen the images from the cameras placed on the soldiers' helmets, just as he had previously guessed through the huge holes in the surface of the building's exterior that the facilities inside had indeed been damaged to various degrees.

It's like a naughty bear child turned inside out, not to mention the exquisite handicraft, even the work book stuffed under the bed board is a room where precious treasures have been found and thrown on the ground, which makes people feel uncomfortable when they look at it.

Of course, these monsters are not the bear children who have to catch a violent beating even if they fall out with their relatives who come to visit, and the sled dogs have no intention of finding each other out of the way, but carefully avoiding those places that are not strange to collapse at any time, and slowly but surely move forward into the depths.

Trist's voice suddenly sounded on the communicator, and she should have been watching the image from the reconnaissance team at the airport: "This is probably the damage caused by the monster when it entered the building, and if you look closely, you can see that these damaged places are connected, and the rest of the places have not been deliberately damaged at all." It seems that the other party is going straight to the core, and they know exactly where what they are looking for. ”

The eldest lady's communication obviously does not reach the sled dogs, and the channel between them and the front-line command center is dedicated, so it has not affected their movements in any way, and they are still covering each other while detecting the movement around them.

Bigar didn't know who Trist was talking about just now, so he calmly kept silent, but soon someone took the initiative to take over the conversation, looking at the channel It seems that the person in command of the front line: "Needless to say, everyone knows about this, there is no need to take it out to remind you." ”

It is estimated that he was very dissatisfied with the sudden interjection of the double ponytail, and the tone of the other party seemed a little unfriendly, but Trist didn't care, but sighed helplessly: "Yes, yes, I shouldn't say some nonsense to improve my sense of existence, so please try to drive yourself to drive an excavator from the outside of the building to dig a straight passage to the inner core to keep the building stable and not collapse when the load-bearing structure of the building has been destroyed?"

Hearing the girl say this, everyone immediately realized the problem, and couldn't help but be taken aback, even the guy who meant to shut up the eldest lady gasped: "Wait, you mean that the load-bearing structure of the building has been destroyed!?"

"I don't believe you can ask the experts, although Miss Ben is also half an expert. ”

"Don't be kidding, if that's the case, there's no reason why the building won't collapse, but isn't it standing there now?"

The last sentence was mostly not about Trist, but about someone next to him.

When the eldest lady spoke again, her mouth seemed to be chewing something, and it seemed a little slurred, and Bigal immediately made up the scene of the girl latching on chocolate and leaning back in her chair to talk to someone.

"Well, of course it's true. So the question is, why didn't the building collapse, is there something inside that is supporting it......?

This [what] is obviously something that humans have been trying to figure out, and its existence can finally be confirmed at this moment, but it always feels a little unreliable when it comes out of the mouth of the eldest lady in this tone and way?

Fortunately, this unreliable feeling was soon kicked out of the clouds by a sudden situation, and when the sled dog team passed by a wall with countless cracks on the surface of the badly damaged surface, the metal wall suddenly turned into countless fragments and attacked everyone, and among these fragments appeared a huge insect-like head, indigo compound eyes shining in the darkness.

If it's a horror movie, at this time it should almost be dead, whether it's a man or a woman, there will eventually be a unlucky guy caught off guard by a monster bitten and crunched, but reality and the plot of the movie are completely different things, as the old driver's sled dog team members quickly turned their guns at the moment the wall shattered, and before the monster bit someone, a large number of beams of light that shook the eyes of the blind dog were already smeared on Ya's face.

"Rick, have your eyes been eaten by dogs, and such a big monster hasn't even noticed!?"

"Can you be reasonable, don't use the word [eaten by dogs], it's good or not that it will conflict with the team name. And even if this monster appears in front of you, the detector still doesn't react, it's completely invisible on the screen!"

"You two stop talking nonsense, quickly concentrate your firepower to kill each other!"

The close-range encounter is very disadvantageous to the human side, and even a directed energy weapon is impossible to kill a monster with an extremely tenacious vitality in such a short period of time, so after eating a little beam attack, this four-legged short-legged mantis has already rushed to the camera with a scythe held high, and the whole picture immediately spun around.

Is there still casualties in the team at last!? Bigal's heart immediately rose to his throat, but there was nothing he could do about it, and he could do nothing but watch.

In this case, it is simply impossible to provide any support to the sled dogs, everything is on their own.

Something surprising and surprising happened, the camera screen quickly rose from the ground to a position similar to the line of sight of ordinary people after a few laps of intense selection, and then everyone realized that the owner of the helmet who had just carried the camera was not cut in two by the praying mantis, but used the action of rolling the donkey to avoid the opponent's attack, and at this time he had stood up and rejoined the battle.

However, the scene of the monster holding a scythe and slashing head-on just now was too shocking, and in retrospect, Bigal was still shocked into a cold sweat even if he was not there. What surprised the deacon even more was that this reconnaissance team, which was composed entirely of ordinary people, fought in the face of the monster's surprise attack without any confusion, and if I read it correctly, they seemed to be splitting into two sides to pull hatred back and forth?

Whichever side the monster attacked, the people on which side would scatter and flee for their lives, and the other team of men and horses would be responsible for the output; when the wounded monster turned back through gritted teeth, the group of people who were being chased quickly gathered and shot it in the back, which was not too shameless.

But, what the hell am I bullying you for not having the ability to remote, what's wrong?

If there was more than one praying mantis, the sled dog team would not have won so easily, but there was no use value for the gnomes here, this praying mantis was left to be responsible for the tail sweeping work, and without the help of its companions, it was finally killed by the other party.

Of course, the locals didn't know that the gnomes had drained the power station of its use, and the sled dogs began to move inside again after confirming that the monster was completely dead, and this time arrived at their destination without encountering any danger.

In the deepest part of each power station, there was a device that used new energy to generate electricity, but now that device was gone, replaced by something like a cocoon with bristles that filled most of the room, and it was this thing that held the building from collapsing.

However, after the first sight of the cocoon, it was already clear to anyone that it posed no threat to the Scout team members present, as it was a dead thing. Although the whole cocoon was blue like the monster, it was stained with a large gray color, and there was no sign of [living] in a lifeless state, as if the life inside had been drained.

Jagged notches can be seen at the edges of the cocoon, and there are many debris scattered on the ground, which appear to have been done by the mantis that was killed earlier, but the exact purpose is unclear.

"Command Center, did you see that?"

"We saw a sled dog, but we weren't sure what it was. It seems to be a cocoon?"

The camera moved again after a moment's pause, and the owner of the helmet walked straight to the vicinity of the cocoon, stabbed the other man twice with his firearm, and then reached out to it after noticing that nothing strange had happened.

All radio communication suddenly stopped, and even the noise disappeared cleanly, for fear of affecting the soldier who dared to eat crabs. Everyone stared at the hand in the picture with bated breath, slowly but surely touching the surface of the cocoon under the gaze of everyone.

If this were a horror movie...... Well, this sentence doesn't count.,In short, there is no boss monster that suddenly comes out of the cocoon, nor does it secrete a strange liquid to melt the palms of the humans who dare to touch it.,Not to mention the sudden stretching out of countless tentacles to make the painting style indescribable.,The owner of the gloved helmet didn't react even if he pulled a bristle off the surface.,The cocoon didn't have any reaction.。

"It's about the same as the substances that make up the monster's body, but how can I say it, it's dead like flowers?" The owner of the helmet casually crushed the bristles and pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into the cocoon, drawing a huge gap without much force, "There is no slime in it, like a dry rag that has been exposed to the sun for hours on dog days." ”

The monsters of the gnomes are biological weapons, and if they are creatures, they cannot do without water, and now that the cocoon is so dry, it is very telling.

After proving that the cocoon was harmless, the members of the sled dog team managed to make a barely accessible opening, and it was still the owner of the helmet who was responsible for eating the crab, and he quickly bent down and slipped into it with great difficulty.

The sound of creaking foam rubbing can be heard all around, and the picture is full of dry and dead unidentified tissue, and the scene is so strange that it will surely drive the faint of heart crazy. However, this situation did not last long, as it had been previously discovered through instrumental detection that the inside of the cocoon was hollow, and the space inside could be entered as long as it passed through the outer layer of skin.

This space was originally used to place new energy power generation equipment.

I don't know how long the owner of the helmet struggled in the unknown organization, but when Bigal felt a little numb, the dagger in his hand to open the way suddenly paused, and then suddenly increased his speed: "Command center, I have come to the inside of the cocoon, can you continue to see the picture?"

"Some of the distractions don't have much impact, and in addition, can you have a light source, things in the distance are completely invisible. ”

Soon, an unexpected and reasonable scene appeared in the picture that shook twice from time to time, the power generation equipment that had been standing here had now been reduced to debris all over the ground, and if you didn't know what was here, you wouldn't be able to see what the prototype of the slag was.

The owner of the helmet crouched down and pinched the metal fragments and played with them a few times, muttering to himself, "Is the equipment really destroyed?"

Although the other party couldn't hear it, Trist still quickly answered: "No, if it is just to destroy the equipment, there is no need to arrange such a large cocoon so troublesomely, it must be to absorb all the energy inside after breaking the machine." The current dry appearance of the insect cocoon is probably the remnants of the enemy who have transferred all the energy they have absorbed. ”

The command center also quickly responded: "If this is the case, then why didn't the sled dogs find similar cocoons when they were in the hospital before?"

"This ...... Maybe it's because the hospital's power generation equipment is small, so the monster can directly absorb the energy inside without having to dig up the tissues for absorption. ”

However, the eldest lady also knew in her heart that this actually didn't make any sense, since she could let ordinary miscellaneous soldiers destroy the equipment and absorb it directly, why did she have to make a cocoon? And looking at the way the power generation equipment was wrapped impermeable, I always felt that there seemed to be some other intentions in it, but it was not clear what it was.

At this time, in addition to the sled dogs, the reconnaissance teams in other cities also sent contacts one after another, saying that except for a few miscellaneous soldiers entrenched near the power station, there was not even a shadow of a monster in the city, so that this reconnaissance operation was completely over.

Bigar soon received orders to follow the troops into the city, and the military was apparently eager to take back the city and make a big publicity.
