Chapter 98: Race against Time
Liang Fang looked at me stunned, "It, where is it?" β
I looked left and right, and I was also in a hurry, and suddenly understood, gave him a spoon, slapped his face to the side, and I pointed to the big stone platform, "What do you say?" β
Liang Fang suddenly realized, and a childlike smile appeared on his face, "That's right! That's not an altar at all, it's, it's a shield! β
8 sec......
7β¦β¦
Liang Fang suddenly grabbed the big bag and ran to the stone platform like crazy, He Aijuan sat up in a hurry, "Liang Fang!" Don't-"
The distance of sixty or seventy meters was quickly completed by Liang Fang, the potential of people stimulated under the urgency is terrifying, I believe he must have broken his life sprint record, just when he threw the big bag to the center of the stone platform, about to run back, those monitoring rods exploded, although the blasting power of each one is not as good as the grenade, but gathered together, the power is still considerable, after a loud noise, a large cloud of mushroom cloud of black smoke rose, the scorching shock wave rolled towards us, I reflexively fell to the ground, feeling a hot pain in my back.
The explosion caused a chain reaction within the volcano, and I suddenly felt the temperature of the air around me rise, and there was a faint rumbling sound behind the rock wall in the distance, like thunder.
It seems that the volcano is really going to erupt......
He Aijuan staggered to her feet, walked towards the stone platform with difficulty, and the black pimple tower went up to support her, and also craned her neck to look forward.
The smoke cleared, and we found Liang Fang in the corner of the stone platform, his spine was blown off, and the tips of the two monitoring rods were inserted into his right chest, obviously no longer alive, but he still struggled to crawl to the center of the platform, and finally found that his lower limbs could no longer move and could only give up, looking up at me with begging eyes, "Li, Brother Li, is it, is it dead?" β
I set him up, "Go see for yourself......"
A large hole was indeed blown open in the center of the stone platform, and looking down through the light of the fire ignited by the explosion, we all gasped -
In the dim darkness, a mass of large, round-like creatures about the size of half a football field in diameter was wriggling, and the ravines were dense above, slowly oozing a highly corrosive yellow-brown slurry......
"W-This is brains...... "Black Pimple blurted out.
Indeed, that thing is like a huge human brain, and it is also divided into left and right, and the groove is vertical and horizontal.
At this time, I had a strange idea, could it be that this "abnormal creature" has been highly evolved, its main body is a brain, and the "boulder" that was blown up before is its "heart", but without the "heart", what does it rely on...... Ah Fei shone a flashlight into it, and the question in my heart was instantly solved-
There is an extra protrusion in one part of the "brain", two or three meters in length and width, which is no different from the shape of the "boulder", a miniature version, and it is growing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye......
This thing will regenerate!
"It must be removed!" Liang Fang said, but there was only despair left in his eyes.
Except for the only grenade left on my body, we don't have any lethal weapons, but such a big guy, how much damage can a grenade do to it, maybe this side will blow up, and after ten minutes, a new part will be created......
Liang Fang pointed to the backpack on the ground, "Juan'er, quickly contact the headquarters, this time it will only depend on us, it will definitely not work." β
He Aijuan poured out the contents of the backpack and picked up an object - we have all seen it, it was the small boxy box left by the other two "exterminators", I didn't know what it was used for at the time, but now I understand that it turned out to be a special communicator for them to contact the headquarters. The signal strength should be large enough to penetrate a closed mountain, and of course more practical than a regular phone.
He Aijuan turned the button on it, with tears in her eyes, looked at Liang Fang and said, "I'm afraid it's too late, the headquarters will send someone, no matter how fast it is, it will not be possible to arrive within a few days...... And with the regeneration rate of the 'stone sac', it shouldn't take long for it to return to the surface, and when the time comes, its separation will ...... us."
"Shut up!" Liang Fang roared angrily, and with a strong force, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, but he was still holding on, "According to what I said, pass it back - the alliance president, the B-level mission 'Ice and Fire' has failed, please readjust the clearance plan, and it is recommended that the task be upgraded to A-level, and the clearance scope is ...... Expand to the maximum! Executor: Liang Fang, He Aijuan......"
He Aijuan was stunned, and Liang Liang shouted, "Quick! He Aijuan's hand still pressed down, and the moment before she flicked the button, I turned off the switch. Liang Fang was furious, "You, what are you doing?" β
"I don't want more people to die with you." I said that the "scope of clearance" in his mouth must also include nearby villages.
"Juan'er, hurry! We're running out of time! Liang Fang can only hope for his girlfriend.
He Aijuan let out a long breath, seemed to be much more relaxed, wiped away her tears, and looked at me with a smile, "Brother Li, you are right, it is true that we are crazy, and we should not involve those innocent people in any case...... Let's go, while it's not yet regenerating......" She looked into the hole, where the new protrusions were getting bigger and bigger, and were approaching the entrance to the surface......
Black Pimple said, "It's right to think so, come, let's go together!" It's not easy to get out? Just like last time, find a place with a thin rock layer and dig it, and let's 'snowball' again! β
Actually, I don't like the way I escaped last time, because it was very uncontrollable and it was all a matter of luck. Fortunately, we still have a choice to escape this time - Ah Fei has left a way out before going down the valley, which is the sturdy sling, but I don't know if the sling can withstand it when we climb up together. So, I also had to consider the opinion of the black pimple.
He Aijuan shook her head, "I'm afraid it's not so easy, the volcanic activity is violent, and the snow outside the mountain should have been civilized when it is hot, but it caught up with a big snowstorm and quickly froze into ice...... However, luckily we still have a grenade, and I believe that as long as we find the right direction, we will be able to blow up a way out! β
Black Pimple was happy, "Great scientist - it's up to you!" β
He Aijuan observed the surrounding terrain and landforms, closed her eyes and pondered for a while, and then said, "It should be in the direction of thirteen o'clock - the air temperature is lower there, obviously far away from the inner layer of the volcano, closer to the outside of the mountainββ"
We looked through the firelight, and sure enough, there was a layer of frost on the mountain wall there, which was obviously dozens of degrees lower than this side.
I touched the grenade on my waist and was about to get closer to that side, but He Aijuan suddenly grabbed me again, "Brother Li, you wait-"
