The communication was not smooth, and the material distribution center soon sent personnel to check the route along the road, and it was naturally not difficult to send a message to the research institute.

Soon after Qian Lihang and the five of them arrived at the material distribution center, they arranged a room to sleep, and they were tired these days, even if they were injured, they could fall asleep upside down, and they were sleeping one by one at the moment.

Miao Pu and Jiang Shangqing had to go to the surface at night to ingest xenomorph energy, which was against the law, but as members of the heroic unit who had made brilliant achievements and saved their comrades, this convenience could still be obtained.

So the two of them went up to the surface and began to absorb energy, Jiang Shangqing's ability attribute is light, and the efficiency of the big night is decreasing, and the progress is slow, but his consumption is limited, and the replenishment is faster than Miao Pu.

Miao Pu didn't care much at this time, he directly absorbed life energy from the surrounding plants and trees, and in less than 1 hour, he just let the plants and trees in an area of more than 20 acres wither, and Jiang Shangqing, who saw it, swallowed his saliva directly, and clearly realized the gap between him and Miao Pu in terms of the upper limit of his ability.

In fact, Miao Pu is not only a multiple of the upper limit of his ability to ordinary abilities, but also far beyond the ordinary in purity. Of course, purification takes time, and Miao Pu is just swallowing it now.

Considering that this time when he entered the underground, he was afraid that there would be a big war, and he would not be able to get supplies for a long time, Miao Pu was extremely greedy this time, and he did not stop this plunder until 4 o'clock in the morning when there was more than an hour left, thinking that he also needed to rest.

Before Miao Pu went to sleep, he also went to inquire about the situation.

The situation is very bad, communication is still not possible, whether it is a letter delivery, or maintenance, they have not returned, and the officers and soldiers stationed in the material distribution center are still lucky, but he knows that this is about the worst situation, even worse than the material distribution center being directly attacked by monsters.

At 4 o'clock in the morning, Miao Pu was woken up by Kang Danian.

Self-examination, the state is still far from the best, but time waits for no one, and Miao Pu is already more and more worried about this operation.

The situation is still bad, communication is still poor, the people sent out are still not heard from, and the people stationed in the material distribution center have gone wrong. After all, they had good military literacy, knew that the material distribution center could not afford to fail, and did not do the stupid thing of repeatedly sending people to find out the truth.

Kang Danian is also cold now, knowing that there are some things he can't worry about, and it won't help, it will only make himself messy, so he suppressed his impulse and discussed the plan of action with Jiang Shangqing and Miao Pu.

He and Jiang Shangqing also did not know where the so-called 20% out of control area was, and in the information they obtained at the beginning, it was not noted in detail at all.

Fortunately, they at least know which outer ring area the 8733 Division is under its jurisdiction, Passage B.

Jiang Shangqing pointed to the simple map and said, "To go from D, you have to skip the C passage, and this section of the road is very long. From the E, we have to pass the largest A, and we have to go to the E. first. It is clear that this channel has been relegated to a first-line area, not a second-line area. ”

"Go E, I don't think the D-Wing garrison will open the floodgates to C. The communication at the No. E Agricultural Reclamation Station is not smooth, and there is a possibility of deception. By the way, check the line and clean up the monsters. As the largest and most important passage, No. A has to be inspected. Of course, whether it is A, or the research institute between D and E, we will not go deeper, it will be a surprise operation. ”

Kang Danian and Jiang Shangqing glanced at each other, and finally nodded their heads, "Okay, just do it." ”

After the operational strategy was formulated, Jiang Shangqing went to the commander of the troops stationed in the material distribution center to coordinate, and Kang Danian went to mobilize his subordinates.

At 4:15, the team set off, in addition to Miao Pu and other 8 people from the original rescue team 2, there is also a group of 8 people, 6 of whom will set up barriers and garrison at the T-junction to the research institute, and re-advance the safe area to the front line of the barrier, and another 2 people will go to the research institute to investigate the situation. In addition, the operation carried enough cables, and a temporary communication line would be established to facilitate communication between them.

If it was before, Miao Pu would have felt that the garrison's approach was conservative and safe, but now he doesn't think so, he feels that there is basically no real safe area in the entire underground ruins. It's a pity that he doesn't have any evidence to make a move, only speculation, speculation is not enough to rely on, and the more professional people are, the more difficult it is to be persuaded in the professional field.

The tunnel was lit soon after the arrival of the research team led by Buji, and there were lights every dozen meters. However, nowadays, people's hearts are not open, and this lighting that is not bright enough can only add to the strange atmosphere.

Because it is necessary to route and check the original line, the speed of the rail car is very slow, and this is because of the help of Miao Pu's eyesight, otherwise it would probably have to rely on walking.

Time passed, and the group was more than halfway through the journey, and still did not find anything abnormal.

Qian Lihang and they have become more and more sophisticated, and they know more and more how to cooperate with Miao Pu. Therefore, along the way, I won't look around at all, just seize the time to rest, I can't sleep, but it's always okay to close my eyes and recuperate.

The other 8 soldiers were relatively nervous, their eyes wide and their guns clenched, and they all seemed to be new.

is so out of the state, you can't completely blame them, too much news from the front line, dealing with unknown monsters, it's normal for all the grass and trees to be soldiers.

More than halfway through the road, Miao Pu suddenly stopped.

The rail car slowly stopped, and Miao Pu let the soldiers driving back more than ten meters.

While picking up his bow and arrows, Miao Pu pointed out: "Seeing that there is no over there, directly below the lamp, what is the difference between the wall?" ”

Kang Danian looked over, stared at it for a long time, and said, "It's no different?" He turned his head and asked Jiang Shangqing: "Do you see the problem?" ”

Jiang Shangqing also shook his head.

At this time, I saw Miao Pu inhaling and straightening his chest, the big bow was full, and the energy on the arrow was infused.

Boom!

The group only saw the remnants of the arrow, and the whole arrow had already disappeared into the wall.

"Whew......"

A terrible scream was followed by the sound of a scream.

The faces of the soldiers who came with them changed color, and the sound of pulling the bolt sounded behind Miao Pu.

"It's probably a visual deception." Miao explains: "There is no physical body, but the intertwined fluffy plants mimic the surrounding scenery like chameleons. And the characteristics of this plant are hidden from perceptual investigation. ”

"And how did you find out?" Jiang Shangqing asked curiously.

"It's exactly the same as the one next to it, and there's a monster hidden in this cave, and my hearing is good."

It turns out that the wall of the tunnel is not a whole like an ordinary room, in order to prevent thermal expansion and cold contraction, it is built with expansion joints, which looks like a large cement wall, ordinary people may not be able to see the difference between the two cement walls, especially in the process of the rail car is still moving, a little faster than an adult running at a constant speed, but for Miao Pu, it is enough to see the subtle differences between each cement wall.

This is not only good enough eyesight, reflex nerves, thinking speed, must be strong enough to do it, in fact, Miao Pu can do such a process is not unusual, if he does not have this ability, how can he adjust himself and complete the attack action in the case of high-speed movement? Once you overdrive, you will play yourself to death.

But in the eyes of ordinary people, such a table is too sharp. It's like a high-speed camera plus a quantum computer.

The monster that was pierced by Miao Pu's arrow and nailed to the cave wall was quickly pulled out by the vines.

This is a monster that has never been seen before, and at first glance it looks like a close relative of a lizard, at least the mouth, nose, eyes, and ears are extremely similar, and the skin is also the thin scales of a lizard. The difference is also obvious, its overall form looks more like a person, and it is a person with a bunch of big braids.

Of course, it's not actually a big braid, it's a tentacle, right behind the head. Its skull extends backwards, like a pointed shovel or shovel with a buckle, and those tentacles are under this skull, all the way to the neck, there can be more than 20, the middle is thick, the peripheral is relatively thin, but the length difference is not large.

It has a tail, thick bones, muscular muscles, sharp claws, brownish-gray skin with blue and black horizontal stripes, blue blood, and teeth like files, which look like typical carnivorous monsters. However, after dissection, it was found that this perception was wrong, the real digestive system of this monster is the three tentacles near the center of the back of the head, they directly suck liquid nutrients, and this nutrition can be directly absorbed by their bodies, so they are exempted from digestive procedures similar to the stomach and intestines. The stomach pouch is an organ that is very convenient for regurgitation.

"It seems that it is difficult for this kind of monster to survive independently, they should only be responsible for hunting, maybe they are a very special group of creatures, after obtaining food, they are carried back to the nest, processed into a nutrient solution and then absorbed." Miao Pu used his perception to probe while unraveling the monster.

Qian Lihang picked up the belt that was cut from the monster's waist during the dissection just now and said: "This thing is very familiar, I have seen similar ones in the material warehouse before, this should be a military product." ”

Li Xuesong interjected: "Now, we know the whereabouts of a group of victims. ”

Miao Pu, who had been paying attention to the monster, stood up and said: "This is a half-flesh, half-plant monster, we may be lucky enough to meet the real-life version of Grandma Lanruo Temple." ”

Zhou Shuai shuddered and exclaimed, "Millennial Locust Tree Demon? ”

Miao Pu walked towards the cave and said as he walked: "I don't know what the dryad is, but we can be sure that our activities in this underground ruins should not be able to avoid this guy." ”

The camouflage at the entrance of the cave had been broken when the monster was pulled out, and before it could be restored, Miao Pu reached out and pulled it off in a few clicks, and threw it aside, revealing the dark cave behind.

Qian Lihang was curious, stepped forward to study, and found that this camouflage was like thin silk cotton, not only dense but also tough, with his strength, he stepped on it with one foot, and picked it with a gun with both hands, and he couldn't tear it apart. couldn't help scolding: "This damn thing, such a thin layer, is stronger than nylon silk, it's really evil!" ”

Miao Pu glanced back and said, "It's not easy, most of your strength has been absorbed by them, so you can't tear it apart." ”

"Jiao, isn't it, can it still work like this?" Xue Ming stared at the condensation that had been transformed into a lock of tape paper with a surprised expression, and took out a lighter to burn it, and the result was equally surprising. Nylon is afraid of fire, but this thing is not afraid, the people around can see it clearly, the light machine is handed up, the flame is reduced a few times, and when the fire machine is taken away, the flame head will be restored to its original scale.

Miao Pu frowned and reminded everyone: "Since we set foot on this land, all the monsters we have encountered are very strange, and even the ones on the surface have been affected to a certain extent, which you have all seen." As you all know, I'm playing with plants, but the plants here are all perverted, they all have very different energy-absorbing abilities, and I guess they have formed a mutually beneficial ecosystem, so you have to be careful. ”

Miao Pu said as he pointed to the monster he shot: "This monster was suddenly attacked and killed by me, and I can't count them." And our dissection only understands part of the information of this monster, but we don't know its specific attack method, but it is definitely not simple to be able to store zài in this environment, otherwise it would have been eliminated long ago. ”

Both Kang Danian and Jiang Shangqing knew that these words were actually meant for the eight soldiers who came with them. These people from the rescue team 2 were born and died with Miao Pu along the way, and the thrills continued, how could they still have a little peep?

Therefore, Kang Danian said in a tone of instruction: "What is the identity of [Blue Wolf], you all know that the world's top monster hunter, in this operation, you must order and prohibit it." ”

Everyone nodded yes.

Miao Pu really couldn't stand being so fluttering by Kang Danian, goosebumps were rising layer by layer, but the army was very particular about role models or something, so Miao Pu had no choice but to be a fan.

The cave is deep, and I don't know where it leads. Miao Pu ejected a few bent lamp heads, glanced at them a few times, and then retracted his gaze.

The hole dug by this kind of monster is narrow, not to mention narrow, and the quality is not guaranteed at all, and it is dangerous to simply pass, not to mention the impact caused by encountering monsters in the war.

Therefore, even if it was a fast passage to the thousand-year-old dryad's lair, Miao Pu was not prepared to explore it. What's more, he believes that most of this underground ruins world has been dug into an anthill, and the one in front of him is just a terminal in the huge network, even if he can resist the collapse of earth and rocks, most of them will be a waste of time in the network, and if they don't do it, they will be killed by the pit.

He simply talked to Kang Danian and Jiang Shangqing about his speculation, and Jiang Shangqing communicated with Li Tong, the leader of the later soldiers, and told them that the exposure of this passage meant that the so-called safe area was a joke at all.

In view of this, the original plan of the garrison of the material distribution center to hold the fork in the road and turn the fork into a buffer zone from the fork to the material distribution center is naturally a fool's dream. Even the Dispatch Center has to be a little more careful, if the monster can make a hole in the tunnel, it can open a hole in many locations in the Dispatch Center, and there is no place that is absolutely safe now.

Li Tong finally decided to send 3 people back to report the latest situation, while the remaining 5 people continued to move forward with Miao Pu and his party.

In Li Tong's words: "Taking this opportunity, at least I can briefly confirm the situation at the research institute." If the problem is severe, then it is impossible to send the information back to the headquarters as soon as it is dawn, and try to set up a temporary communication line to turn the D channel into a communication terminal in the cataclysmic area, instead of waiting for the communication with the agricultural reclamation station to be restored.

After listening to Jiang Shangqing's explanation, Miao Pu said: "At most, we can go to the research institute to confirm the situation hastily, and the return trip can only be them, and it is impossible for us to escort them away." ”

"Well, I said it, and they know the danger."

Since this is the case, Miao Pu can't say anything more.

The group hit the road again, this time much faster, and the discovery of the rat path made the fine combing tunnel meaningless, after all, any location could become a new rat path terminal.

As soon as he turned the T-junction, Miao Pu heard gunshots. However, he did not notify Kang Danian and them immediately, but only further strengthened his reconnaissance and perception of the surrounding area.

As a result, after a little further progress, Kang Danian and the others all realized that something was wrong, because the tunnel gate leading to the research institute was closed.

There are no signs of battle outside, and the gate is closed, and the easiest guess to make in this situation is that something is wrong with the research, and in order to avoid the rear being infiltrated by monsters, the gate is closed.

Of course, there is also a possibility that the enemy has taken control of the operation room and is closing the door and beating the dog.

Kang Danian stepped directly onto the trail from the rail car, and he had an ID card that allowed him to open and close the gates manually.

But when I opened the moisture-proof cover, I saw that the power indicator light was red, and I turned my head to Miao Pu and said, "There is no starting energy." ”

Miao Pu jumped out of the car and walked to the metal gate, and the people behind saw the silver light in the air, and then froze, and then saw Miao Pu raise his foot, "Bang!" A large metal plate was kicked off, and an inverted triangular simple entrance appeared on the gate.

In this regard, Qian Lihang and the others were not surprised, carrying a gun and chewing gum, and just followed Miao Pu Shiran through the entrance.

Li Tong and the other 5 people were more shocked, especially when they saw the smooth incision on the gate, the thickness of the visual inspection was more than 1 inch, this is a high-strength alloy door, Miao Pu's attack power is about to catch up with the industrial laser cutting machine, is this still a person?

There are three gates, Miao Pu broke three passes in a row, and not far forward is the platform, and when they arrived here, even Kang Danian they clearly heard the gunshots.

Li Tong and the five of them were about to rush in with their guns, but they were grabbed by Jiang Shangqing, with an angry face but a low voice: "Are you rookies?" Beware of traps. ”

Qian Lihang, who is used to cooperating with Miao Pu, also carries a gun, but it looks obviously much easier than Li Tong and them, Miao Pu is the most bullish live radar, Miao Pu doesn't speak, that is, there is no situation.

A little further forward, seeing that the platform was in sight, Miao Pu stopped and raised his fist to signal.

Qian Lihang and the others all stopped.

A silk vine poked out of Miao Pu's body, silently and quickly probed forward in the air, and then bent its tip and pointed diagonally towards a place on the ground.

Hu Yantie knowingly took off the two high-explosive grenades from the belt around his waist, pulled out the ring with the gesture of Miao Pu 321 countdown, and threw the two grenades forward with his palms forward.

I saw that the vine seemed to be as nimble as a living being, and as soon as it rolled in the air, it caught the grenade, and then stabbed diagonally, piercing the ground.

Boom!

At the sound of the explosion, the entrance to the crater appeared on the ground, billowing black smoke and blinding firelight gushing out.

Before the fireworks dissipated, a monster burst out of the cave covered in flames.

Qian Lihang and the others immediately opened fire.

Li Tong and the five of them had very fierce firepower, and they were completely in a posture of sweeping the monster into a sieve, while Qian Lihang and them were different, shooting pointed, and the aim was obviously not the so-called vital point, but more limbs.

Boom!

The bowstring vibrates, Miao Pu shoots an arrow, the sound can't even be blocked by the dense gunshots, such an arrow is undoubtedly fatal, and the monster over 200 catties was nailed out of the distance before falling to the ground, and there was no reaction at all, and he was burned by the fire.

Among the five people including Li Tong, there were still people who opened fire at this time, one of the magazines was opened, and the fingers kept pressing the trigger, clicking, clicking. In this regard, Qian Lihang and the others were not surprised, carrying a gun and chewing gum, and just followed Miao Pu Shiran through the entrance.

Li Tong and the other 5 people were more shocked, especially when they saw the smooth incision on the gate, the thickness of the visual inspection was more than 1 inch, this is a high-strength alloy door, Miao Pu's attack power is about to catch up with the industrial laser cutting machine, is this still a person?
