Chapter 66: The Underground "City"
The whole passage was about a kilometer long, and everyone finally rushed out.
It's just that in the face of the puppet guards chasing behind him like a tide, as soon as he rushed out of the passage, Hong Yan, who was walking in front, stopped and stopped.
Li Mo had been following her all the time, and couldn't help but stop in confusion.
But Du Yueyue, who was carrying her brother on her back, didn't mean that at all. When he rushed past Li Mo's side, he shouted, "Why stop?" Keep running! ”
But Wu Ming stopped her: "Yueyue, don't run anymore, let's get out of danger!" ”
"Out of danger?" Du Yueyue's body froze, and she looked back at him incredibly.
Chen Ling also looked suspicious, looking at the puppet guards in the passage who were dense and almost rushed to the crossing, the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching.
But then, they were amazed.
I saw that the puppet guards in the passage rushed to the entrance of the passage, and they all stopped there, looking at them with red eyes, but they didn't have the slightest intention of chasing them out.
"What's going on?" Li Mo couldn't help but ask.
Wu Ming replied with an excuse: "Once this kind of puppet leaves the range of the passage, it will lose the ability to melt and reorganize, so it doesn't dare to chase it out." ”
Li Mo suddenly realized, as he had guessed before, that the puppet guards were indeed relying on this passage to exist.
After the passage is destroyed, it can be reassembled quickly using the special materials of the passage.
But once you leave the passage, you lose that ability to recombine and regenerate.
When Wu Ming's voice fell, Hongyan raised her right hand silently. A purple fire was released.
It's just that she didn't attack the golems, she just looked at them with a smile.
Li Mo understood. She's threatening and warning the puppet guards. If you dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool, what will be the consequences?
And in the face of the "threat" of Hongyan. The puppet guards in the passage actually retreated a little fearfully.
After a while, they all melted and decomposed on their own, burrowed back into the walls of the passage, and disappeared without a trace.
This scene made Li Mo quite surprised, and said in his heart: Could it be that this thing already has low-level intelligence?
At the same time, he was very curious about how the vault was built, and what energy the puppet guards relied on to sustain it.
Looking at Wu Ming and the others again, when Du Feng saw that the puppet guards disappeared. Hurriedly said to his sister below: "Yueyue, put me down." ”
Xu is Fu Fayong's death stimulated Du Yueyue, this girl is now a little wooden. The eye circles are also red, and the face is also covered with undried tears. It can be seen that this road is crying and running out.
After listening to her brother's words, she "sobered up" and hurriedly put her brother on the ground. And Wu Ming had already come closer, squatting down and tearing open Du Feng's pants from the injured area.
The wound on Du Feng's calf was not small, although it was not fatal. But obviously it hurts and also affects the action.
However, Wu Ming, who was frowning, took out a stainless steel box like a lunch box from his backpack.
Li Mo looked over curiously. The lid was opened, and it was filled with a kind of bug. The flesh is whirring, and the whole body is blood-red. About the size of a finger, a bit like a leech.
This also made him can't help but look at Hongyan. The heart says that you "freshmen", why do you all love to raise insects?
But Li Mo also saw it. Wu Ming's insect is essentially different from Hongyan's greedy insects and vigilant insects.
Hongyan's insects can be controlled by it, but Wu Ming's is obviously not.
At this time, Wu Ming had already taken out a worm, and it could be seen that the worm was constantly struggling in his hand.
However, when he put the worm on Du Feng's wound, the worm suddenly became excited, and actually followed Du Feng's wound and squeezed the strands into it.
Li Mo looked at it very aggressively, and carefully observed Du Feng's expression.
Du Feng also bared his teeth for a while, and it seemed to be very painful. But after a while after the whole worm got in, the expression on his face gradually relaxed.
"This bug has a pain-relieving effect?" Li Mo somewhat understood the usefulness of the worm.
Wu Ming was very generous, nodded his head and said, "Yes, after this insect penetrates the wound, it will secrete a kind of saliva, which can play a very good pain-relieving effect." However, at the same time, it will also suck the blood and nutrients of some injured people, but for an adult, it will hardly have any effect and is completely negligible. ”
That's a good thing. Li Mo secretly remembered the appearance of that kind of bug, and wondered if he would get some in the future.
At the same time, he also asked Hongyan through co-frequency contact: "Do you also have that kind of bug?" ”
Who knew that Hongyan replied disdainfully: "I don't need that kind of thing." ”
Li Mo couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, but soon, he suddenly remembered the "Freshman 13" who was killed by himself.
I remember that I cut off the guy's entire leg at that time, but the people seemed to be fine, as if they didn't feel pain at all, so that Li Mo was scared a lot at that time.
If this is a normal person, even if it doesn't hurt and faints, at least you have to scream, right?
So Li Mo immediately connected "Freshman 13" with Hongyan, and couldn't help but ask: "You don't mean to say, you don't know what pain is, right?" ”
Hongyan was obviously surprised by his question, and looked at him suspiciously, but still replied bluntly: "If I want to, I can completely cut off the pain." It doesn't matter if it's a part of the body, or the whole body. That's why I said, that bug doesn't work for me. ”
But these words startled Li Mo. Cutting off the pain? What kind of means is this?
Looking at Wu Ming again, he realized another problem.
Since Wu Ming has the kind of red bugs that can relieve pain, does it mean that he doesn't have the means like Hongyan?
Li Mo didn't feel that Wu Ming's bugs were just for his companions.
And Hongyan made it clear before that she and Wu Ming are not "people" in the same civilization. In that case, wouldn't it be a representative. "Freshman 13" is her real "Tongji"?
Thinking of this, Li Mo's eyes when he looked at Hongyan changed a little.
No way. Although he killed "Freshman 13" in the first place, it left a shadow on him.
Hongyan keenly noticed Li Mo. Looking at the change in his eyes, he couldn't help asking, "What?" Do you have any questions? ”
Li Mo groaned for a moment, and his voice became a little deep: "13 and you are the same age as you, right?" ”
As soon as she heard this, Hongyan's face suddenly froze. But he quickly admitted it calmly: "It seems that you have seen that I have something in common with 13." That's right, you said it, I'm indeed the same age as 13. ”
Li Mo frowned: "Then you didn't kill me, it has something to do with this, right?" ”
"Now is not the time to talk about that." Hongyan avoided his question this time.
And at this moment, Wu Ming's voice also came into Li Mo's ears.
"Du Feng. How does it feel? ”
Li Mo looked sideways and saw that Du Feng, who had injured his leg, had already stood up. He moved a little and nodded, "No problem, Captain." ”
It can be seen that the pain in the injury has been stopped, and Du Feng has basically recovered his mobility.
And the wound has also been treated simply by Wu Ming, but the red worm seems to still remain in Du Feng's wound.
"That's good, then everyone is ready to prepare, let's continue to go deeper." Wu Ming patted Du Feng on the shoulder.
But as soon as I heard that I was going to go on the road. Du Yueyue, who had been looking at the passage with tears in her eyes, turned her head to look at him: "Captain, Ah Yong?" ”
It seems that this girl is still very affectionate towards Fu Fayong, and it seems that she is still reluctant to accept reality.
But he didn't wait for Wu Ming to speak. Chen Ling took over the conversation: "Yueyue, the captain told us about the danger here before I came, and we are all ready to die." Fu Fayong failed to rush out. It was his bad luck. But you have to accept the reality, or you are in this state. It's not good for you or everybody. ”
It's not that Du Yueyue doesn't understand this truth, it's just that she just doesn't want to face it.
Since the end times. Relying on Wu Ming's understanding of the end times, several of them should have been smooth sailing.
But this trip to the shelter was a big blow.
From their conversation, Li Mo could hear that Wu Ming must have warned them more than once.
But people are like this, if they are in the inertia of going with the wind and water, they will inevitably become arrogant. Fu Fayong and Du Yueyue are obviously like this. However, Du Feng and Chen Ling have a relatively correct attitude.
But after listening to Chen Ling's words, Du Yueyue had to accept it even if she didn't want to. And a few people just began, observing the environment they were in at this time.
This place, which is connected to the passage, is definitely underground.
However, it is extremely vast. On the top of the head, there is a huge pot bottom-shaped dome with almost no end visible to the naked eye.
Li Mo and the others were at the very edge of the area at this time, and the height had to be tens of meters, and the further they went, the higher the top.
And in the middle of the bottom of this cauldron, there is also a ball of light shining, illuminating the entire underground world.
The ball of light looks like the sun here, and its light is similar to that of daylight.
However, I don't know if the light source of the photosphere emits heat, or if it has a constant temperature system, but the temperature here has reached fifteen or sixteen degrees.
Looking deeper, you can see densely packed and square-like buildings of different sizes.
Of course, standing here in Li Mo's place, it looks like a square, but when they get closer, it is estimated that it must be several stories high.
And right in the center of the checkered buildings, you can see a triangular building.
Like the squares, the triangular building is black throughout, reflecting off Sekizawa's surface.
But it was very high, compared to the surrounding area, even the tallest square building, not more than a third of him, and it should be the core building of this underground shelter.
Underneath the feet, the ground is laid with something similar to turf.
But it's not grass at all, it's just a material material that resembles short grass. It feels a bit like a carpet when you step on it.
However, this kind of ground is also the color of black, which makes Li Mo wonder if Hongyan, a "new life", is very fond of black, otherwise why would the shelter be built like this?
Soon, Du Feng and the three of them were ready to go deeper. Then I heard Wu Ming remind: "The triangular building in the middle is our goal this time." Be cautious, though, as you'll likely encounter other Vault guards. ”
As soon as they heard that they would meet the guards, the faces of the three of them were a little ugly, and the shadow that Fu Fayong hung up would definitely not be able to be dispelled so quickly.
But Li Mo opened his mouth and asked, "Can you tell me more specifically, what else will you encounter?" ”
But hearing what he said, Wu Ming shook his head: "My understanding of the shelter is also limited, so I can't give you an accurate answer." Speaking of this, he also looked at Hongyan and said, "If you know anything, just tell everyone." ”
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Hong Yan said, "The puppet guards in the passage are the lowest line of defense at the entrance. However, now that this line of defense has been activated, it can be proved that this place has been invaded before. But I can't tell at what level the active defense of the shelter has been activated at the moment, so I can only take it one step at a time. ”
This is basically equivalent to not saying it, and everyone is a little disappointed.
In this case, we can only move forward head-on.
So several people formed a defensive formation and cautiously walked towards the complex.
It was still Wu Ming and his three companions who walked in front, and Li Mo and Hongyan hung behind.
The entrance to the passage is not very far from the complex, probably less than two kilometers.
However, when you go to the edge of the complex, you can see that the depth of this place is very deep, like a small underground city.
The black-lattice buildings, on the other hand, have no entrances, and are surrounded by glossy outer walls, and there is hardly a pinhole or crevice to be found. And the size is also different, and it is impossible to see how useful it is.
Li Mo looked at this dead city-like refuge, but it became more and more strange. It's okay if you can't see the living creatures here, but why don't you even have a single skeleton?
It is said that this refuge must belong to the ancient civilization of human beings, and its use is nothing more than refuge.
Although I don't know how ancient civilized people like Hongyan and Wu Ming "lived" to the present.
But Li Mo can be sure that their civilization must have perished due to the advent of the end times.
So now, where have all the ancient civilization humans who once took refuge in this shelter gone?
With the scale here, it is no problem to accommodate tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people. With such a huge number of ancient civilization people, it is impossible for them all to "possess" the human beings of their own era like Hong Yan and Wu Ming, right?
If that's the case, then the humans of their own age won't have much to jump on.
And Li Mo didn't think that there would be so many ancient civilized people who could "live" to the present.
Therefore, he judged that whether it was Hongyan or Wu Ming, they must belong to some special groups of ancient civilization human beings. And there will certainly not be too many new students like them. (To be continued......)
