Chapter 10: The Behemoth of the Forest
In the dark and damp forest, a split-toothed wolf was stooping forward, sniffing around with its nose, and the smell of prey in the air was clearly mixed with another pungent smell, making it impossible to accurately grasp the location of its prey. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The wolf cautiously walked forward, and suddenly it found a strange shining object sticking out of the grass in front of it, and with a glimmer of light in the hole in the front of the object, the wolf's body trembled violently, and a large amount of blood splashed on the door of his head, and he fell to the ground and died.
Xiang Hong stood up from the grass, observed for a moment, and after making sure that the cracked tooth wolf was dead, he put away the pulse rifle and said to Chu Weiwei, who was hiding in the grass behind, "Okay, let's move on." ”
After he and Chu Weiwei set off from the Epoch base, they crossed the steel isolation plate at the edge of the control area, and had already traveled seven or eight kilometers in the dense forest, relying on the infrared thermal imaging function of XL8000 to avoid most of the fierce beasts on the road.
Chu Weiwei stood up, she had a ring of green branches around her neck, and she was accidentally hung by a bush, causing her to stumble and almost fall to the ground.
Xiang Hongyi stretched out his hand to hold her and whispered, "Be careful." ”
Chu Weiwei said angrily: "It's not all you, get me such a 'garland' to hang around your neck, it's cumbersome!" ”
"This is the branch of the eucalyptus tree, which emits a strong smell and confuses the beast's sense of smell." Xiang Hong walked forward as he spoke, "Hurry up, the smell of blood may attract other fierce beasts, and it is not safe to stay here." ”
Chu Weiwei pouted and followed behind Xiang Hong in silence, although she complained on her lips, she was absolutely obedient to Xiang Hong's words.
The soldiers of the Anno base, many people die in this jungle every year, and most of them can't even find their bodies, silently swallowed by this endless sea of trees. And those who survive in the difficult environment are the elites who are well versed in this jungle and have mastered the way to survive.
Xiang Hong, on the other hand, is the elite of the elite, he has been patrolling outside the base since he was 14 years old, and the scars all over his body are the testimony of his experience over the years.
Chu Weiwei followed behind Xiang Hong, panting and walking, when suddenly Xiang Hong in front of her stopped suddenly, Chu Weiwei didn't hold her foot, and suddenly hit Xiang Hong's back.
"What's wrong again?" Chu Weiwei hit it a lot, she rubbed her nose and asked.
Xiang Hong didn't speak, he suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Chu Weiwei and hid behind a big tree on the side. Chu Weiwei was inexplicable, and was about to ask questions, when the XL8000 on the side suddenly made a voice: "Warning, ...... ahead"
"Quiet!"
Xiang Hong's voice was low and short, but it contained an unquestionable tone, XL8000 suddenly stopped his voice, hovered in the air, and flew into Xiang Hong's arms.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, Chu Weiwei's whole body shook suddenly, she looked at herself in confusion, it wasn't she who was shaking just now, it was the whole earth!
Then with another loud bang, the earth shook violently again, Chu Weiwei was almost unsteady on her feet, Xiang Hong stretched out a hand to hold her shoulder, helping her stabilize her figure.
Loud bangs followed one another, mixed with the sound of branches breaking. Then, less than ten meters in front of Xiang Hong and Chu Weiwei, a huge and incomparably dark shadow appeared from the forest.
The earth shook wildly as the massive claws fell, and the shadow walked in the direction of the two of them.
Chu Weiwei's face turned pale and she stopped breathing, this giant beast was too tall, her entire upper body was above the dense canopy, she couldn't see what it looked like, but just with the two huge claws below, it already made her feel desperate!
Chu Weiwei's body trembled violently, and the huge fear made her lose her mind, and she was about to run backwards screaming in the next second!
Xiang Hong suddenly strengthened his arm and hugged Chu Weiwei tightly in his arms, the warm body temperature was transmitted to Chu Weiwei through her clothes, her heartbeat gradually calmed down, and her mind returned to thinking.
The two of them hid quietly behind the tree, and the nightmarish beast slowly passed in front of the tree, its huge tail inadvertently brushing against the trunk of the tree, making a creaking sound, and the whole canopy shook violently, and large leaves fell.
The beast did not stop here, but continued to walk, and after a moment the ground stopped shaking and the sound of great footsteps faded away.
Xiang Hong took a breath, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and at that moment just now, he himself was also hanging a heart.
"What was that?" Chu Weiwei's body was already paralyzed in Xiang Hong's arms at the moment, as the operator of the main brain, she had walked out of the base only a few times, and she had not even seen a fierce beast a few times, and the huge and incomparably large shadow just now completely subverted her understanding of this world.
"We call that thing the Xenodrake, the largest beast around the base. I've only met two or three times, and this time it's the most recent one......" Xiang Hong whispered, he looked at Chu Weiwei in his arms and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine......" Chu Weiwei said and broke free from Xiang Hong's arms, but her body shook and almost fell to the ground.
Xiang Hong grabbed Chu Weiwei, shook his head and said, "Let you complete this kind of task, isn't the mastermind deliberately making things difficult!" ”
He squatted down and stood on his horse, turned his head to Chu Weiwei and said, "Come up, I'll carry you." ”
Chu Weiwei hesitated, and finally obediently climbed onto Xiang Hong's back, and after Xiang Hong carried Chu Weiwei, under the leadership of XL8000, he began to move quickly towards the destination.
Chu Weiwei was surprised to find that Xiang Hong was carrying herself on her back, and the speed of moving forward was faster than before the two of them walked together! She smiled helplessly, it turned out that she was a burden.
After a few moments, they came to a valley where there was an old iron gate, one of which had been smashed open by a large hole, and had been completely broken.
"I don't have to open the door." Xiang Hong looked inside through the door, he couldn't see anything clearly, he turned to XL8000 and said, "You go in and see the situation." ”
XL8000 flew straight into the hole, and a moment later a calm voice rang out from the darkness: "The entrance is normal. ”
Xiang Hong and Chu Weiwei entered the inside of the gate from the broken place one after another, and after their eyes adjusted to the darkness inside, there was a spiraling staircase in front of them, leading to the depths below. There was a band of light on the surrounding walls, emitting a glowing green light, so that they would not be lost in the darkness.
"The main control room of the geothermal generator set should be below, let's go down." Chu Weiwei has regained her calm at the moment, she has seen the 3D structure diagram of the generator set on the main brain before, and she has some concept of the road here.
"I'll go ahead, you follow." Xiang Hong picked up his rifle and stepped on the stairs, the big broken hole in the door was broken open by a fierce beast nine times out of ten, and it was hard to say what was down there.
They descended the spiral staircase for a long time, and at the end of it was a long passageway, the green fluorescent light flickered, and the surroundings were completely silent, and the atmosphere was rather eerie.
XL8000 circled around and said, "It's inside the mountain, and the infrared thermal imaging is blocked by rocks and can't function properly. ”
As soon as its words fell, suddenly two huge black shadows jumped up from the darkness, screaming and rushing towards Xiang Hong in Chu Weiwei's exclamation!
