Chapter 280: Start Drilling Pipes

There can be no danger in the hatchery.

The worm had known that this place had been idle since the disaster, and except for the assembly line that produced and stored the nutrient solution, the rest of the facilities for incubating and cultivating test subjects had ceased to operate, and there was no danger in theory.

Of course, this is only theoretical, when the little worm and the turtle dove really went deeper and deeper, they still maintained twelve points of vigilance, and did not dare to relax in the slightest.

"Be careful," said the little worm who walked in front of him to the turtledove, "although it has been a long, long time since the test subjects have been hatched inside the hatching room, but the test subjects in the rest of the room will flow to the vicinity, and I don't have much ammunition on me, if you meet a soft persimmon, you will go up and pinch it to death, if you touch a hard stubble, we will turn around and run as soon as possible." ”

"Understood."

The turtledove nodded.

Cautiously following the worm, since he had not yet found any danger, the turtledove slowly relaxed, and he looked at the surrounding facilities without stopping, once again sighing at the magnitude of the new empire's construction of this underground research institute.

The strength of the new empire is indeed strong enough.

"Shh

As she walked, the little insect in front of her suddenly listened, her eyes fixed on the front, and at the same time covered the mouth of the turtledove behind her with her backhand, and the unknown turtledove blinked her eyes twice in a daze, and stood there without daring to make a sound.

"Keep your body down."

The worm said to the turtledove in an almost whispered voice, and sure enough, she said that although the facilities in the hatchery had ceased to operate and no new subjects had been hatched for many years, there were still outside subjects who had slipped into the hatchery.

What appeared in the darkness ahead was probably an "A1" type test subject, which is commonly known as a humanoid monster, and the little worm didn't know why this "A1" type test subject was standing there alone.

As for why the word "probably" is used, because of the occlusion, and the test subject is just a phantom shake, so the little worm doesn't see it too really, and basically sees a rough idea.

The surrounding environment is quite special, - the incubation room is not only one, but a general term for a dozen or twenty rooms, connected to each other by corridors, at this time the turtledove and the insect are in one of the hatching rooms, and the "A1" type test subject seen by the insect is separated from them by a corridor, in another hatching room.

"There don't seem to be any other test subjects nearby," the deaf worm confirmed that the test subject was really alone, "You go and kill it, remember, don't make too much noise." ”

Turtledove didn't speak, just drew his dagger.

……

Like this kind of work, the turtledove has done it I don't know how many times, if it is a few months ago, the turtledove may still be more or less afraid of the "A1" type test subject, but in the recent period, the turtle dove has seen some strong winds and waves, and the "A1" type test subject, the turtle dove does not pay much attention to it.

Isn't this nonsense, even terrifying beings like the Destroyer and Atlas have been photographed, how could a turtledove still care about an "A1" type test subject.

Therefore, holding the dagger in his hand, the turtledove touched the front without beating and panting, not to mention that even if the dagger could not be used, the turtledove could strangle the "A1" type test subject alive with both hands.

"Whew."

Seeing that after passing through the corridor, the turtledove was about to enter the hatching room where the insect had found the "A" test subject, and he couldn't help but exhale lightly, and suddenly, the hairs on the back of the turtledove's neck, which had not yet entered the hatching room, stood on end.

"Giggle......

This strange movement has been heard by the turtledove before, most recently in the tunnels of the Grey Ridge Pits, which are only made by the Followers when they find their prey.

Voice follower, the little worm glanced at it when browsing the information of other test subjects not long ago, and learned that the real name of this monster that is extremely sensitive to sound should be the "A3" type test subject perception enhancement subspecies, and it also maintains the body shape of a human, and the appearance is similar to that of the "A1" type test subject, that is, the face is full of special synapses, and the vision is almost zero, and only those synapses feel the vibration of the surrounding air.

Different test subjects have different living habits, such as "A1" type test subjects tend to live in groups, they always gather in groups of three or five, whether it is hunting or resting, they always act in groups, and rarely appear alone.

Unlike the "A1" type test subject, the Voice Follower, as a subspecies of the "A3" type test subject, naturally retains the territorial concept of the "A3" type test subject, that is, each "A3" type test subject has its own territory, and even if it is the same kind of subject, it cannot easily cross the line, otherwise a fight will inevitably occur.

It's not surprising that the daring worm is not seeing an "A1" test subject, but a voice follower.

……

Through that series of subtle "clucks", the turtledove instantly judged that the follower in the dark had discovered him, and then saw a flash of black shadow, and then a black thing filled him from the side, saying that it was too late, that time was fast, and the turtledove quickly retreated, making the follower pounce.

However, the turtledove had no intention of going back to the worm for help, and although he could not see clearly in the dark, he could barely make out the current position of the Voice Follower, and pressed the rushing Sound Follower to the ground, and the turtle dove pierced its vertebrae with a dagger.

Compared with higher-level test subjects, the intelligence level of the Voice Follower is still relatively low, and it is the same as the "A1" type test subject, usually only has the same attack instinct as a beast, of course, it is not excluded that there are special cases with a particularly high IQ, such as when the turtledove was surrounded by a group of "A1" type test subjects with sharp teeth and strengthened teeth, there was one who was particularly smart, and knew to hide next to the cold to sneak up on the turtle dove.

Fortunately, this voice follower did not have such an outstanding IQ, it only knew how to rush and fight, and was naturally more skilled in fighting, and at the same time, the turtledove that had entered a state of rage was pressed to the ground, and a dagger was pierced in the vertebrae, and the voice follower immediately raised his head in pain.

It was this moment that the turtledove was waiting for.

Releasing the dagger, the turtledove strangled the raised head of the follower from behind with both hands, and when he heard a crisp sound of "click", the cervical vertebrae of the follower were broken by the turtledove, and its face full of disgusting synapses tilted to the side, and it died.

……

After eliminating the follower in their way, the turtledove and the worm continued to walk forward, but the rest of the road was unexpectedly smooth, and they did not encounter any other test subjects, so it didn't take much time for them to arrive at the main hatching room.

The entrance to the customs clearance pipeline is here.
