Chapter 445: Return to the Underwater City
Chen Tianci finally succeeded in persuasion and enlisted the help of Archie, an undersea man. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Anne stayed at Base 3187 to recuperate. Her body was badly damaged, and it was a helpless fact.
Chen Tianci didn't ask for much, he was already very satisfied that he could get a guide. And Anne provided a detailed map for Chen's reference. With the help of a guide and a map, Chen Tianci successfully returned to the abandoned underwater city before.
After returning to the city, Chen Tianci did not dock at the original port wharf. Following the instructions of his guide, Archie, he docked the boat on the beach at the entrance on the other side of the city.
When he left the flying boat and entered the city, Chen Tianci did not receive the previous welcome prompt, nor did he find the ground with prayer beads on the ground.
Judging from the information he obtained, the various situations he encountered before were the various designs and arrangements made by another group of surviving undersea people in order to capture outsiders.
Where those people lived in the city, even Anne didn't know.
"You have to be careful, it's not just mutated creatures out there." These are Anne's words to Chen Tianci.
But what kind of danger there is, and what kind of changes there will be, is not something that Anne can tell Chen Tianci. "There's a non-disclosure agreement in my core, and if I leak the city's secrets, my program will trigger a self-destruct program. I'm so sorry. Anne explained.
Chen Tianci didn't want to be embarrassed, so he didn't continue to ask. He followed his guide as he made his way into the abandoned city in front of him. Coming here again, Chen Tianci saw more than just ruins everywhere.
There are many, many more corpses of mutants. This also confirms that the information obtained by Chen Tianci is not wrong. He hurried over to the mutant corpse on the ground and took a closer look.
There are many causes of death for these mutants. Some were strangled by gravity, some were killed by some kind of object penetrating their bodies, and a few were killed by sharp blades. After Chen Tianci carefully checked it, he faintly felt in his heart that there should be some mutants here who were killed by Luoqiu.
He had learned this from the mutants who had been killed.
A single knife kills.
This is the basic situation of almost all mutants who have been slain by a sharp blade. But Chen Tianci is not sure. He opened the map of the city and carefully compared it to where it was.
He is now located in a residential area northeast of the city. Judging from the map, walking along the road in front of Chen Tianci, you will enter the original scientific research area of the city.
It's the heart of the city. But the closer you get to that place, the greater the danger. On this map, Anne deliberately marked the warning: Always be wary of any plants you encounter.
What these words mean, Chen Tianci has not fully understood. Because of the non-disclosure agreement, all Anne can offer is these vague hints and warnings.
Chen Tianci closed the map and, under the guidance of the guide, quickly moved towards the core scientific research area. Along the way, from time to time, the corpses of several mutants will appear.
At the same time, as Chen Tianci gradually went deeper, he also found some mutated creatures that had been killed. The silver krait is among them. And the cause of death of the slain snake that Chen Tianci saw shocked him greatly.
This snake was torn into dozens of pieces by life and died. This powerful strength is by no means comparable to Chen Tianci. This is a strong man, a strong man who is much stronger than him Chen Tianci does.
But whether this person is a friend or foe, Chen Tianci is not completely sure. He began to raise his guard and become more cautious. It is an immutable fact that you can only save others by protecting yourself.
Chen Tianci tried to send a signal to the outside world to inform the rescue team that was waiting for him of the specific situation here. But the signal can't be sent. Conservation measures within the city have been initiated.
Chen Tianci could only give up his plan to continue to contact the outside world. He continued to move forward quickly under the guidance of his guide. After a long journey, he suddenly found the corpses of several mutants who had just died, as well as signs of human activity on the ground.
He hurried over and took a closer look. A silver krait snake was eaten as food. What remains on the ground is the remains of this mutated sea serpent. "These people should have only been gone for a short time." Chen Tianci judged in his heart.
Judging by the situation here, this should be the resting place of the group of people who entered the city. But they should have been resting when they were attacked.
Chen Tianci examined the corpse on the ground again. The cause of death of these mutant corpses was all fatal with a single knife. "Will it be autumn?" Chen Tianci thought to himself.
He didn't dare to fully confirm it. But at the very least, this situation may be proof that Luoqiu is still alive. Chen Tianci judged the direction of the other party's advance and traced the past.
In order to find the other party, Chen Tianci maximized his perception along the way. But he knew that his method would not be able to detect the mutated sea snake like the silver krait, so he didn't dare to relax in his heart for a moment.
Just as he continued to advance for a while, Archie suddenly grabbed him and took Chen Tianci to hide in a ruin. Chen Tianci knew Archie's ability.
This guy has his unique ability to live in this abandoned city for so long. He followed Archie's instructions and crouched behind a ruined wall, holding his breath and not moving.
After a while, Chen Tianci's ears moved, and he heard a rustling sound. The voice was very close to him. Chen Tianci didn't dare to make a sound, didn't dare to move, and didn't even let out his perception.
For the mutated creatures here, Chen Tianci's perception seemed to be useless. He knew this, so he didn't consume his vitality in vain to continue to release his perception.
He lay quietly for a while, the rustle in his ears fading away. After a while, Archie reminded Chen Tianci that he could get up. He got up and looked out.
On the ground outside, there were traces of new snakes crawling one after another. Chen Tianci guessed that the one who passed by them just now should be the mutant silver snake he had encountered.
Archie asked Chen Tianci to wait in place. And he quickly went out to check and confirmed that everything was safe before continuing to move forward with Chen Tianci. They walked and hid for a while, avoiding the dangers on the road.
Just when Chen Tianci thought it was safe to move forward like this, he suddenly ran into trouble. When Archie motioned for Chen Tianci to dodge again, Chen Tianci suddenly felt stiff under his feet.
He hurriedly looked down and suddenly saw that his feet were bound by a weed that appeared at some point. Confused, he was about to reach out and tear the weed off, but Archie hurried to stop it.
But Archie can't speak, and can't make a vocal cue. When Chen Tianci bent down to tear off the weed, he found that Archie was looking at him with fearful eyes.
"What's wrong?" Chen Tianci asked puzzled.
Before Archie could explain, the ground under Chen Tianci's feet began to tremble violently.
