Chapter 173: Underground Beast Lair
Such a disgusting scene made Lin Xi feel a little impulsive to escape.
At this time, Chu Jungui patted her and pointed to the place where the arc fell. There was a constant surge of electricity in that area, and there was an electric fire from time to time. On the ground, small dots the size of a bean are gradually bulged, and then slowly become larger.
Chu Jungui beckoned to Lin Xi, bypassed the ground where small grains appeared, and walked deep against the wall. After walking a little further, the bulges on the ground continued to grow, from the size of beans at the beginning, to the size of apples, to watermelons, and when they reached the center of the sealed space, they were already as big as small houses.
The largest batch of bulges mostly transforms into hard chitin, but leaves a clear film area. Through the film, you can see that it is filled with a yellow-green liquid, and in the liquid floats a number of nearly fully grown war beast larvae.
Chu Jungui and Lin Xi had been dealing with war beasts for a long time, although the war beast embryos in the cultivation organs had not yet fully developed, but the two of them could see at a glance that these embryos were mostly similar to the war beasts they had ever seen, but the details were different.
The details of each war beast embryo are different, and the two of them hurriedly walked around, and there were more than a dozen spinyback beasts among the dozens of cultivation organs, all with their own characteristics.
"This is the New Arms Research Center?" Lin Xi asked.
"It seems so. ”
Lin Xi circled around these cultivated organs, and said with some regret: "I really want to occupy this place." ”
"It can't be long. ”
"Do you think they'll come back?"
"Quite possibly. There were far more beasts attacking the Shadow Fortress than we had ever encountered. Maybe the beast tide here happened to set off to attack the Shadow Fortress, so we took advantage of it. Chu Jun returned.
Lin Xi groaned, "Makes sense." So let's set up a cordon on the spot, set up a temporary base, and collect samples while replenishing ammunition. In just one day, enough explosives can be planted underground. If the beast tide comes back, we'll just blow it up so they won't get anything!"
"Good idea. Chu Jungui agreed. However, he was already vigilant in his heart, and knew that he must not offend this eldest lady in the future.
Miss Lin is good at everything, but she loves to use explosives, which makes people tremble.
Lin Xi cut open the muscles on the ground and found that this layer of muscle tissue was two or three meters thick, and it was densely covered with large and small pipes to transport various liquids to the cultivation organs.
Lin Xi did everything to the end, and then chopped up the surrounding organs and tissues to clean up, and finally exposed the ground. The floor is also made of glass-like material, with holes of different sizes leading to different pipes. The thickest pipes are two meters in diameter.
"There doesn't seem to be a door here. ”
"It's a little strange, how can these war beasts get out after they have been cultivated?" Chu Jungui had long wondered about this matter.
"Don't they need to go out?" Lin Xi thoughtfully said.
Chu Jun was stunned, "What do you mean?"
"There are experiments in some biological laboratories that have to be destroyed in the end, regardless of whether they are successful or not, without exception. Perhaps the same is true here, and when new varieties are tested, large-scale production will be carried out at another base. ”
Chu Jungui was stunned again, "The war beast still understands this?"
"God knows, they already know a lot. ”
Chu Jun remembered the war beast's 'jet' live missile, and had a faint headache. Those missiles are really jets in the literal sense of the word, without any compromise at all.
The two of them took another turn in the underground hall, and Lin Xi knocked off a few pipes with his hands, and then found that the liquid flowing inside had different compositions. After sampling, the two decided to return to the surface first. There are still many places to explore in the beast's nest, for example, there are hundreds of passages and exits on the cave wall, and I don't know where they lead, all of which need to be explored.
At this time, the two of them have been underground for a long time, and they must go back. Before leaving, Lin Xi used the remaining munitions to build more than a dozen trick mines and arranged them around the opening of the passage. If a war beast appears and wants to enter this passage, it will taste Lin Xi's methods.
War beasts have rough skin and thick flesh, which is difficult to kill, so recently, Lin Xi has become more and more fond of those methods that are not lethal, but can be effectively weakened. For example, thunder that can only blow up one leg, such as thunder that is okay to cut meat into pieces, but it can't be cut when it is cut to the bone, for example, thunder that will break into irregular pieces when it enters the flesh, and so on.
This circle of treacherous thunder is difficult to kill even the spiny beasts, but once they are hit, maybe the war beasts will think that it is better to die.
After returning to the ground, Lin Xi moved the mobile base to the entrance of the passage. The terrain here is gentle, and the off-road ability of the mobile base allows you to climb directly over the ridge. Once the beast tide returns, it will be able to pick up the people underground as quickly as possible, and then escape over the mountain.
After selecting the location, Chu Jungui set up a temporary production base, and on the first day, he was manufacturing all kinds of construction machinery. All the machinery is a simple version, the material can be saved, and the unnecessary functions are not required. The purpose of this batch of machines is to turn the remaining war beast carcasses of the beast's nest into materials as quickly as possible and at the lowest cost, replenish ammunition, and complete the arrangement in the underground base.
In the next two days, Chu Jungui and Lin Xi kept going back and forth to the underground beast's nest to collect materials, and at least collect samples if they couldn't take them away.
At first glance, the underground beast's nest looks like a highly civilized creation, but the details of the study are somewhat different. The layout of the underground space is clearly disorganized, and there are many places where it could have been easily optimised, but no.
The most typical product of civilization is the mysterious cultivation tank found by Chu Jungui. This tank has been reclaimed from the mobile base and is guarded day and night. Just wait to get back to Base 2 and start researching.
The cultivation tank as a whole is obviously a creation of a high-level civilization. A device made of metal and unknown crystals, Lin Xi's vision couldn't think of any star field with such a product. Chu Jungui had searched his knowledge base a long time ago, but he also found nothing.
The inside of the sealing devices at both ends of the culture tank was extremely complicated, and Chu Jungui had studied it for a whole hour, but he still couldn't find a way to open it.
There are several openings at one end of the device, apparently where supplies are imported and exported. Now that the opening has closed automatically, it appears that the contents of the container are still intact.
It's just that there are still a lot of body tissues left in these openings, and the traces show that they were directly cut off by some sharp weapon. Chu Jungui also felt a little incredible, looking at the meaning of the traces, these war beasts combined the primitive biological method with this device that was obviously different from human technology, and they were used very well?
It's like seeing an orangutan writing an opera.
Could it be that the beast and the creator of this device are not the same thing?
