Chapter 008: The Vanishing Swamp
Stuffy, not stuffy, really stuffy!
Hot, not average hot, really hot!
The throat seems to be roasted by fire, the air seems to be evacuated, and such a stuffy environment is really unbearable! But here, all living things are accustomed to it, according to the evolutionary theory of the modern Yuan era, this is natural selection, the survival of the fittest. But this is an unknown part of the earth!
With the current technology of the earth, this area cannot be discovered at all, and ordinary people cannot enter this area, it is a completely forgotten and disappeared place, a stuffy swampy area.
As far as the eye can see, the swamp is densely wooded, and under the dense jungle, the sweltering heat makes it difficult to breathe, and the smell of rotten and dead branches and leaves, mixed with the smoky air, makes people feel sick. From time to time creatures poke their heads out and blink their eyes in the swampy pools, and from time to time there was a sound of crept crawling or neighing from among the trees, completely barren.
However, here, under the detection of the earth's highest-tech satellites, there is a white ice field.
There was not a single sign of life, in the icy land of the far north, only a biting storm swept through everything!
But this sweltering, vanishing swamp is hidden in the wind and snow world of the ice field, and it merges with it.
Woo, woo, woo......
Outside, it's icy and snowy, and the wind is biting!
Stuffy, stuffy, stuffy......
Here, it's hot and humid, and it's hard to breathe!
Bah, Bah, Bah......
Suddenly, a dazzling light inexplicably lit up in the depths of the swamp, and more than a dozen beams of light shot towards the surrounding dense trees at the same time, without causing any other sound, and instantly turned silent again.
In the slightly dimly lit jungle, the environment returned to normal in the blink of an eye, but the empty environment suddenly had a faint human voice: "Pipe, the sixteen dark stakes in this area have been cleared, safe!"
"Advancing at speed, our electronic barrier can only last for fifty minutes, and now there are still thirty minutes!"
"Pipe, why did you just promise Vic to let him clear the obstacle alone, this kid is unreliable!"
"Don't talk nonsense, he is our secret weapon in this mission! If you want to get out of here alive, it's up to him!"
"Just him, you spent so much money this time and insisted on hiring him into the team, but he is a false appearance!"
"This disappearing swamp is a super S-level mission, it is not difficult for us to sneak in, but if we want to get out of the way, it will be difficult for us to do it without him!
"Damn, with his kind of character, I can pinch a dozen of them to death casually! I don't trust him as much as you do! I also know that this mission is very dangerous, but I am relieved to have your pipe here!"
"Okay, then don't talk nonsense! Hurry up to the central target area, time is running out! Hurry up!"
"Roger! Everyone, stay in formation, move quickly! Target center, full speed ahead!"
"Roger!"
......
"Vic, you must have discovered the anomaly here, the magnetic field fluctuations here are disordered, and it has the feeling of your Dongcheng District, which is very familiar!" the pipe muttered silently in his heart, staring slightly into the depths of the swamp.
"Although I have prepared for the worst, the difficulty of this mission seems to be far beyond that of the S-class! We divide labor with each other, I will attract the attention of the enemy, and you will be responsible for infiltrating and exploring! Whether you can complete the mission this time, Vic, is up to you...... I have a hunch that the secret of the orb is hidden in the depths of the swamp!"
With the faint human voice falling silent again, the swamp returned to its original state, except for a few faint water waves in the pond, the sight was still empty, and the strange picture made people seem to feel hallucinated! Only the dozen or so areas where the beam just shot were there, there were more than a dozen figures, hiding in the high places of the dense forest, although the breath of life remained unchanged, but the body fell into a coma.
......
Wow!
The blood-red frog creature the size of a fist stretched out its long tongue and instantly swallowed a small flying insect flying in front of it into its abdomen, with a beautiful expression of enjoyment and a slight squint of eyes.
The Red Dart Frog, the most venomous frog creature on Earth, can kill more than a dozen cows with a single drop of venom.
At this time, the aftertaste of the expression made people really want to smoke it, especially the slightly squinted eyes revealed a completely intoxicated demeanor, which lasted for dozens of breaths and did not dissipate, and the body remained motionless.
Click!
Suddenly, just as the red arrow frog was near, a stout old brown tree appeared in a shadow, and the old tree actually moved. The trunk of the tree reached directly towards the red dart frog, but it was not fast enough to seem to grab it.
The sudden change did not interrupt the intoxicated look of the red arrow frog, which has always been unpredictable and makes people shudder, but still maintains a slight squint, and its body is completely unmoved.
The old tree, which was not fast, easily grabbed the red arrow frog, until the red arrow frog was taken into the belly of the old tree and disappeared from sight for a second, the intoxicated slight squint still did not change, which was surprising.
Airplanes!
Under the slight distortion of the picture, the double overlapping shadows of the original old trees, one of which showed a human form! A young man's figure appeared strangely in his sight.
In the sweltering swamp, a young man who suddenly appeared quickly crouched beside the roots of the old tree, and his whole body was almost parallel to the swamp. The whole body was already muddy, but judging from the outfit, it seemed to be wearing the robe of the East of the Yuan Dynasty. However, the young man didn't seem to know how to wear the robes of the Yuan era, and a robe that should have been close to the body was worn high and low, and it was nondescript, especially at a glance above the head, he knew that it was a bun of hair that was rolled up at random, and countless hair strands were split and unkempt.
The young man's face was almost attached to the muddy swamp, and with a depressed and regretful expression, he muttered slightly: "You dead red arrow frog, dare to swallow the only stiff worm that I just spent months raising! If it weren't for the fear of exposure, I would have solved you a long time ago! Hey, this time I lost, my poor stiff worm!"
"However, if you dare to swallow the stiff worm that I have cultivated with so many herbs, even if you are the most poisonous red arrow frog, you will at least stiffen for a few minutes!
The young man grinned and snickered, raised his hand and lit it back and forth on an electronic instrument on his wrist, his expression wrinkled again: "I didn't expect the electronic interference here to be so powerful, this holographic projection is unstable!"
While debugging the electronic instrument, the young man looked at the top of several tall trees, and saw that in those thick trunks, it took a long time to look carefully before he found that there seemed to be a figure hidden.
"This area is solved! It's time to go to the meeting point! The effect of the Zombie Worm is only half an hour effective for the Refiner! If it weren't for the fact that you couldn't lose your vital signs, I wouldn't be willing to use the Zombie Worm!"
"However, if I am bitten by the stiff worm I cultivated, after half an hour, hehe, it will only be more painful than now!"
"The vanishing swamp...... Hey, it's really nerve-wracking, this secret research institute is weirder than you imagined! Although it is not difficult to get out, you must save your life first! You must not return empty-handed this time!"
"Moreover, the pipe must have been discovered, and there is even a yellow finch behind, this time it is really big!"
"You can't lose it, the task reward, you must re-talk with the pipe in a while, and you can eliminate the disaster by breaking the money!"
"Hmph, ten miles of streamer array! The cost of breaking the array alone will be doubled and returned to me, pipe, remember!"
The young man's black eyes rolled back and forth, and his expression was a little unhappy, but he quickly turned into an excited look, and quickly pressed the electronic instrument with one hand. In the blink of an eye, the figure of the young man lying on his stomach disappeared from sight again, and only the faint sound of being plucked in the swamp quagmire melted into the wind.
......
In the depths of the endless swamp, looking up, the dense forest is shrouded, and the outside is completely invisible. But when you come to the heart of the swamp, there is a vast lake area, which is very strange.
"Tut, beep, beep......" An unreachable connection sound echoed in Jerry's eardrums.
Jerry, who nested like a wolf, habitually raised his two fingers to his mouth, his eyes slightly narrowed.
"How's it going, Vic?" Vic has heard back?" asked in a low voice from Carl, who was leaning back against his back.
"The magnetic field in this area is so disturbed that our internal communications can't get out. Vikna, we don't have to worry, he knows what to do! I guess he's nearby!" Jerry replied.
The burly Carl, holding the TF07 electric light gun, the favorite of the firearms mercenaries, flashed a touch of disdain in his vigilant eyes, and said tightly in his hand: "If he dares not to appear, I can't spare him!"
"Don't worry, he's got half of his honorarium left!But the electronic interference is so powerful that all of our holographic projections have failed!Carl, report back to the situation!" Jerry patted Carl.
Carl raised his strong arm and touched his chest, a virtual electronic screen slowly appeared in front of him, one hand quickly zoomed in on the virtual image, and in a blink of an eye, a half-meter-long and wide projection electronic screen appeared in front of Jerry.
"There are no casualties among the five of us, and there are 26 hidden piles, all of whom have lost their combat capability! The perimeter has been cleared, and now there is only this lake area left! The probe cannot detect the situation under the lake, and there is a shield! But according to the information given by the military, this lake must be their research base! From the time we infiltrated to the present, in the past 30 minutes, our electronic barrier can still last for 20 minutes, so we must hurry up!"
Jerry swept the three-dimensional projection of the various light points on the electronic screen and the surrounding terrain, only the lake area was pitch black, frowning slightly, and his expression was sharp and deep. Behind him, Carl had turned off the electronic screen, stepped forward, and gestured to the other three teammates hidden in various places behind him, ready to sneak into the action.
Jerry, who was still habitually clenching his empty fist to his mouth and looking at the dark lake area in front of him, suddenly stared at his eyes, raised one hand, and his gesture changed rapidly, and Carl and the other three immediately hidden.
I saw that on the vast lake without barriers, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared strangely, a beautiful ** person in a white silk skirt, stepping on the rippling lake water, and came slowly.
"Don't hide, I've known since you entered this swamp! Since you're here, don't hide, let me do the friendship of the landlord!"
An imperceptible spatial fluctuation came out, and a curtain of light suddenly rose in the swamp in the distance, enveloping the entire range of several kilometers, and all five Jerry were enclosed.
"Warlock!" the change in front of him made Karl's pupils dilate suddenly, and the electric light gun in his hand quickly aimed.
"Jerry, one of the top ten in the mercenary world! You, who have always been known for your calm and sophisticated manners, will take on this task, I can only say that you are impatient! Remember, I will only give you one chance to say, who is your employer? Otherwise, just like them!" the white woman stepped on the lake and grabbed it with one hand.
Bang, bang, bang!
Jerry was just about to remind the three teammates who were hiding in three places behind him and were still waiting for Jerry's instructions, when suddenly three suffocating explosions sounded next to Jerry, and a bloody mist filled the jungle.
There was no explosive, but the blood mist that made people expand and explode in an instant spread with a strong smell of blood.
Jerry gritted his teeth and slammed Carl, who was closest to him and was about to fight back, and whispered, "Don't be impulsive! Stay for me, old rules, wait for the opportunity!" The figure slowly stood up and appeared.
Click!
The white woman jumped lightly, stepped on the trunk of the tree next to the lake, looked at Jerry who appeared, showed a shallow smile, and said with the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "Give you time to breathe, there is only one chance, say!"
