Chapter Seventy-Eight: To the North
With Li Yi's current situation and state, wanting to enter the Great Lakes region to find the Compass, or even enter it, is tantamount to a fool's dream.
That forbidden area for humans has long been dominated by dark creatures, and it is said that there are more than 10,000 powerful third-level mutant beasts alone, and there are also secret creatures that humans do not know about.
In any case, the Divine Soldier Cold Moon and the information about the Compass made Li Yi feel a little impulsive in his heart, and in the next few days, Li Yi continued to cultivate, explore the surrounding environment, and prepare for leaving here.
The light curtain projected a map of what is currently known, which was obtained through the exploration of the surroundings and the scanning device of Coke.
It can be clearly seen on the map that the shaft leading to the ground has been completely closed, and Li Yi and Cola are trapped in the lair of mutant beasts more than a hundred kilometers below the ground.
There are only two paths to choose from, one to the south and one to the north.
Whether it is the south or the north, it means risks and unknowns for Li Yi, and through the observation of the past few days, Li Yi has already made it clear that the reason why there are fewer mutant beasts and mutant people here is because of the mother beast, and the dark creatures deliberately avoid here.
Assuming that Li Yi left this relatively safe area, he would inevitably encounter a dark group of creatures, and as for their number, the ghost would know.
Lighting a cigarette, Li Yi said in a deep voice: "Coke, do you think we should go south or north?" ”
Cola thought for a moment and said, "Logically, the result is the same no matter which direction we go, because we can't predict what we will encounter in front of us, and geographically, it may be safer to go south, because all the way south from here is mountainous, and there are few people living in history." ”
"And if we go north, if we can't find an exit, maybe we'll go to the rainforest, or even all the way to the Caribbean, where there are a lot of mutated creatures."
Li Yi smiled slightly, "So you think you should go south?" ”
Cola shook his head, "I said that no matter which direction you go, the outcome is unknown. ”
Li Yi shrugged his shoulders, took out a hard pen from his pocket, still in the air and then pressed it in the palm of his hand, and said, "If it's front, we'll go south." ”
With that, Li Yi opened his palm and saw the reverse side of the coin facing up.
"To the north." Li Yi snuffed out the cigarette butt and said in a deep voice.
……
Li Yi took his bags and walked out of the escape pod, taking steps towards the north, without any nostalgia, without even looking back.
As a commander, Li Yi is very clear about his current situation, nostalgia for the comfort in the escape capsule is not a way after all, and at this time, there is no one to rely on except himself.
Of course, Coke is an exception, this little guy is a loyal mess, no matter what Li Yi decides, he will support it stupidly.
Coke turned into a watch again, and used the detector he carried to detect the movements around Li Yi, after all, it was a communication robot, Coke's scanner could not be considered too powerful, and dark creatures had cold-blooded characteristics, thermal scanning, infrared scanning, it was difficult to find their traces.
In addition, this is extremely deep underground, and the road is winding, which interferes with the scanning signal very seriously, so Coke can only rely on airflow scanning to provide information to Li Yi most of the time.
Airflow scanning is simply to monitor the flow of air, and a person walking by will bring the air tumbling, which can be scanned, but if the dark creature hides in a corner insidiously, there is nothing Coke can do.
Li Yi's reinforced fiber backpack was much heavier than before, and in addition to the necessary materials, there were also samples obtained from the mutant female beast.
Assuming that he can leave here, Li Yi will send biological samples to the military laboratory, hoping that scientists can find the weaknesses of the mutant female beast through genetic research.
I have to admit that the mutant mother beast is far more powerful and intelligent than ordinary mutant beasts, assuming that it is a fourth-level mutant beast, its body may be difficult to exceed one kilometer, while the same fourth-level mutant female beast can reach ten kilometers so exaggerated.
After intensive cultivation in the life-saving cabin, Li Yi's current level is close to the fifth level of a martial artist, that is to say, Li Yi's punch can reach close to fifty standard Force units.
Even if it was a second-level mutant beast, as long as it didn't appear in groups, it couldn't threaten Li Yi's life.
Unless it was a mutant creature above level 3 that appeared in front of Li Yi, or a large group of mutant beasts, it would be a catastrophe for Li Yike.
The blood collected from the mutant female beast was packed in a military alloy kettle, and Li Yi also strung the crystal nucleus of the female beast with a rope and hung it around his neck, hoping to offset his human scent and avoid the pursuit of the mutant beast.
Based on experience, this method is more effective for low-level mutant beasts, but it is not very effective for mutant creatures above level 2.
Although they would be suspicious of Li Yi's identity at first, they would soon understand that the second-level mutant jackal was the best example, and it took no more than five minutes to go from curiosity to discovering Li Yi's true identity.
The further he went north, the more frightened Li Yi felt, with such a huge underground cave system, he didn't know how long the dark creatures had been digging, where was the end, and what was the purpose?
Even if they keep digging to the other side of the earth, the Eurasian continent, it is not impossible, compared to humans, the ability of dark creatures to dig huge projects is obviously not weak at all.
In the dark, the all-round night vision device of the battle armor night brake gave Li Yi a huge help, and the darkness could not prevent Li Yi from seeing the road ahead clearly.
Seventy-two hours have passed, and with the joint efforts of Cola and Li Yi, there is finally no danger.
The crossbow obtained from the rescue pod showed extraordinary long-range sniping ability, and many times Li Yi found mutated creatures from a long distance, relying on this crossbow to kill the opponent in seconds.
Li Yiyou plans to put this long-range sniper weapon into production, of course, it will not be possible until he leaves here and Cola Metal mass-produces tri-titanium alloys.
"Be careful, master!" As he was on the way, Cola said suddenly.
Li Yi's body flashed to the side, disappeared into the darkness, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”
Coke said: "The scan shows that there are people ahead, as you said, in the occupied area, even humans have to be careful." ”
"Humans?" Li Yi was slightly stunned, this is an abyss more than a hundred kilometers from the ground, how could humans appear here?
The Fallen Zone is a lawless place, and Li Yi did say that Coke should be careful of humans, but this kind of place can also meet humans, which makes Li Yi very curious.
Following the direction that Cola pointed, Li Yi lay behind a rock and looked over, only to see that it was really a human being, and judging by his moving figure and pace, he was still a warrior.
He was holding a bow and arrow in his hand, with a titanium blade stuck in his back, and was slowly searching from the opposite side of Li Yi.
