Chapter 261: Purgatory
Black clouds rolled in the hazy sky, and after a while, the radiant rain poured down, completely melting the gradually thawing snow and ice, and converging along the terrain into a surging river, rolling eastward.
When the sentry raised the red signal flag, the huge steel gate slowly opened, and twenty second-generation power armors stepped out of the gate, automatically lined up in a straight line, and advanced towards the southern part of the base.
Huang Shang covered the oxygen shield of the power armor, and the radiant rain slid down the glass, leaving no trace of corrosion.
The performance of the second-generation power armor is perfect, both in terms of corrosion resistance and maneuverability.
He walked at the head of the line, followed by Su Lan.
In order to carry out this reconnaissance operation to the end, Huang Shang sent all the strongest overrunners in the base, such as the shadow killer Liuying and the heavy artillery master Mercado, these top masters can exert quite strong combat effectiveness even if they do not wear power armor, and the exploration team composed of twenty top overrunners will conduct a detailed test of the old temple site in the south.
For the exploration of the temple, the last time it was Herter who led the team, but he didn't expect to encounter a change, the Sky Spirit actually penetrated the dimension, carrying the temple building and flying to the south, so that the heaviest task could not be completed.
This time, it's going to be done anyway.
Both the Sky and the Land Spirits have begun to act on a large scale during this time, and if they still don't know anything about them, even if they know who the enemy is, when the war breaks out, they are still like blind people.
The enemy is unknown and mysterious, although Huang Shang knows that the target location of this trip is already a barren purgatory on earth, but only this place is the only place where clues can be found.
In the video sent back by Herter last time, it can be seen that the Sky Spirit shed a lot of blood when he flew away from this place, and it was precisely because of the corrosive nature of the blood that the area was turned into a wasteland where mud and poison coexisted.
If you can extract some of the blood of the Sky Spirit and bring it back for testing, you will definitely be able to get useful information.
In the final analysis, humans are also carbon-based organisms, which are made of proteins, calcium, fats, etc., so no matter how mysterious the other party is, as long as it is a living creature, it will definitely have corresponding characteristics and weaknesses.
"Are we really going to get useful and critical information from this trip?" In the communication channel, the voice of the warbler reached everyone's ears.
"How do you know if you don't go to see, what, are you afraid?" It was Su Lan who answered her, "If you are afraid, I still suggest that you go back, we will not look down on you, fear is also a big reason why human beings can survive." ”
"I mean, in case there's any danger, the Chief, he ......" Liuying said the worry in his heart, "He's not like us, after encountering danger, we can't die without any impact on the base, after all, the overrun can still continue to recruit, if something happens to the Leader, I think... The newly established empire of the end may never be ...... again"
Su Lan turned his head and glanced at her coldly, "Are you disturbing the morale of the army?" I could have shot you now? ”
"It's not a matter of disturbing the morale of the military, it's a matter of the weight of fate, some people spend a lifetime without being able to make waves, but once some people disappear, the entire empire and even civilization will fall, I'm just worried about ......"
"Alright, alright, calm down." Huang Shang was a little helpless, he didn't know why these two women suddenly couldn't get by, maybe they were a little nervous, could it be that they could divert their inner worries by quarrelling?
"I initiated this mission on my own initiative, so I will naturally be in the queue, which also shows how seriously the base attaches this matter, so let's be quiet and pay attention to the surrounding situation, we are already very close to the target location."
Huang Shang picked up the binoculars, and a thick green poisonous mist appeared in the air in front of him, which became thicker and thicker under the rain of radiation.
After half an hour, the group finally arrived at the old site of the temple, because the entire building of the temple was moved away by the Sky Spirit, and what appeared in front of everyone was a large pit about ten meters deep.
Due to the sudden rainstorm, the pit has gathered into a lake, and the surrounding soil is charred and blackened, emitting a strong fishy smell, as if the body has been buried here without treatment.
"Oh my gosh, this smell... Even with the air filter turned on, there was still a fishy monster. The warbler frowned and retched.
"Alright, let's get to work, everyone is collecting soil and gas samples at once." Su Lan took the brunt of the big pit and walked to the pit, bent down, and walked subtly along the sturdy place to the pit.
For some reason, an inexplicable sense of crisis rose from Huang Shang's heart.
It feels like there are countless pairs of eyes lurking in the dark watching you.
Suddenly, a large number of boiling water bubbles appeared in the otherwise calm lake, and the colorless water of the lake turned blood, as if it had been stained red with blood.
"Su Lan, be careful!" Huang Shang stepped over and directly pulled Su Lan out of the pit.
In the next instant, countless terrible roars rose from the pit, and the soil of the black crater began to shake violently, as if something was about to emerge from the ground.
"Whoa——!"
At the moment when Su Lan had just gained a firm foothold, where she had stood before, the soil was suddenly arched, and an extremely ugly beast burst out.
Huang Shang frowned, immediately raised the rifle in his hand and locked onto the target.
The beast had a strange appearance, hunched over its waist, and from a distance it looked like a giant praying mantis lying on the ground, with sharp claws, a sharp beak, a pair of crimson eyes that covered the entire head, and the ribcage and limbs were covered with hard carapace.
"All of them, fire!"
After Huang Shang secretly cursed what the hell this was, he pulled the trigger without hesitation, and in an instant, hundreds of bullets were all fired at the same target, some of the bullets were resisted by the monster's carapace, and only a few of them pierced its flesh and flesh and dived into the body.
The mantis-like beast let out a high-pitched cry as if to tell of its own pain, and finally, after a shuttle of bullets, the beast that emerged from the ground fell in a pool of blood.
The green blood merges with the soil, and everything dissolves into nothingness.
When everyone thought it was over, the familiar roar filled the crater.
In the next moment, countless evil beasts broke through the ground.
What shocked Huang Shang was that their forms were not identical, each evil beast seemed to be unique, without any possibility of overlapping, some had eyes on their chests, some had seven pairs of wings, and some had three heads and six arms.
At this moment, Huang Shang had the illusion that they were in hell.
