More than 20 miles away from Dingxian, there is a phoenix mountain, it is said that there is a phoenix that fell here in ancient times and got the name, the ancients built a temple on the mountain, and the incense burns continuously all year round. However, after the end of the world, there are no more people to be seen here, but the mountains are still green and misty, and the fog is rising, even in the cold winter wax moon, this place is still shrouded in a fog, and the ancient roar can be faintly heard from the ground, which adds a sense of mystery.

Just 100 meters below the Phoenix Mountain, there is a huge natural karst cave, the underground river passes through the karst cave, and the endless river water washes the karst cave, making bursts of roaring sounds, as if an ancient fierce beast is entrenched here.

The stalactites of various colors shimmer with a little bit of sunset, and the walls of the cave seem to be inlaid with countless bright gemstones, like the bright night sky dotted with a little starlight, which is beautiful and dazzling.

"It's really a fairy cave, the aura is compelling, and it makes the mouth water...... Hee-hee!"

The empty cave echoed with rumbling laughter, a giant crocodile more than twenty meters long swayed its tail hammer and kept hitting the ground, making a loud rumbling sound, a whirlwind mixed with a strong fishy smell came to the face, the fangs more than half a foot long flashed with palpitations, and a huge snake head was reflected in the two dark and inverted eyes.

Next to the giant crocodile lies a thirty or forty meters long python, the snake is the thickness of a small car, spitting a red snake core, making bursts of "sizzling" and "whirring" sounds, the neck skin fold flesh wings are like a huge black hole, devouring the surrounding light, as long as you look at it, you can fall into it and can't extricate yourself.

The two dark green eyes of the giant python flashed with essence, as if two steel knives swept over the giant crocodile and said, "You are not underground to command the battle, why did you come to me?"

The giant crocodile opened his mouth and took a breath of the damp and cold air in the cave and said: "You are the commander-in-chief of this battle, of course I have to report to you if there is anything, and I will come to you by the way to taste the deliciousness!"

The giant python's fangs moved, the flesh wings on its neck stirred, and it turned a deaf ear to the giant crocodile's words and said: "The eight-armed ape emperor has been very unhappy recently, and he is very dissatisfied with our actions, if you ruin the eight-armed ape emperor's evolution plan, I'm afraid your life will not be easy......."

"Don't scare me, I'm cowardly, and I forget everything when I am scared", the giant crocodile shook the tail hammer weighing half a ton, so he said in horror: "The eight-armed ape emperor and his old man are the lucky stars of our demon beasts, if the ninth-order impact is successful, we still have to rely on the protection of its old man, why do I dare not listen to the command?"

"Don't you forget the purpose of our campaign?"

The giant crocodile opened his mouth and said, "How dare I forget?" But it's really troublesome to say, these humans are stubbornly guarding the underground base, disrupting our deployment, and it's really tricky. Now that some of them have escaped from the base, and the rest are all cowering in the underground base, it is really difficult to complete the plan of the Emperor of the Eight Arms!"

Lu Ziming and the base have never guessed the purpose of the dark creatures attacking the base, but even if they guess, they won't know why the dark creatures attacked the human base.

The information is asymmetrical, and it is impossible for the dark creatures to tell humans why they are attacking the base, and they all think that the relationship between humans, zombies and dark creatures is endless, and they will never dream that the dark creatures have other plans.

It's not surprising that humans kill wild animals for the sake of greed, and if they do, they don't know why they're being killed. In the same way, no one has thought about why the dark creatures attack the base, it may not seem important, and thus be unconsciously ignored, anyway, there can be no peace, and naturally the reason will not be considered.

Giant Python said: "Of course the difficulty is not small, capturing 10 sixth-order evolutionaries alive, this is probably the sum of the number of advanced evolutionaries in the base, if it is not necessary to capture it alive, the base would have been breached by us a long time ago."

The giant crocodile shook its huge sharp mouth and said: "Humans are really tenacious, hiding in the hard underground fortifications, so that we high-level demon beasts can't do it, if we attack it, even if we kill everyone in the base, those high-level evolutionaries can easily escape, it's really troublesome!"

Dark creatures are the general term for mutant animals by humans, and mutant animals call themselves monsters, just like high-level zombies call themselves new humans, but the names are different, and there is no essential difference.

Lu Ziming and the base never dreamed that the real purpose of the dark creatures attacking the base was not to break any base, but to serve the high-level evolutionaries in the base.

Humans may seem to them as food for dark creatures and zombies, but when you think about it, it's far from as simple as it seems. It's a bit like humans rounding up wild animals, if you kill a thousand enemies and hurt yourself eight hundred, the gains outweigh the losses, and the benefits and payouts don't want to wait, I'm afraid no one will do such a stupid thing.

Many people, including Lu Ziming, discovered the dark creature's conspiracy, with the powerful strength of the dark creature, it was easy to break through the base, and guessed that the dark creature wanted to lure humans to the ground, but never considered why the dark creature did this!

Regardless of whether the dark creatures attack head-on or invade the base from underground, it is impossible for the base to defend, and it is probably within easy reach to break through the base, why should the dark creatures be reluctant to force humans out of the underground base?

The answer may not have been dreamed of, evolutionary! And it is a high-level evolutionary, which is the ultimate goal of the dark creatures attacking the base.

If you think about it calmly, if you ignore the prejudice between humans and dark creatures, and consider the problem from the perspective of equality between the opposing sides, it is not difficult to see the strange part.

First of all, why do dark creatures attack the base, there must always be a purpose and reason for attacking, no matter what the purpose and reason are, just like humans start a war, even if it is for a non-existent reason, but the purpose is real, of course, human beings have always thought that dark creatures attack the base for food.

Secondly, it can be seen at a glance that the loss of dark creatures is far greater than what they gain, as long as you look closely, it is not difficult to find that the dark creatures are constantly wearing down the strength of human beings, and they are not attacking at all, but more like committing suicide.

In the end, the dark creatures have been besieging the base, but they have never really cut off the survival of the base's retreat, that is, the humans of the base can easily withdraw from the base at any time, which is a bit abnormal.
