Biochemical "Ant Nest" Chapter New Discovery!
"Since these creatures don't have eyes, then the only way they hunt is to use their keen sense of smell and hearing, and I personally judge that the probability of relying on hearing will be relatively large, and of course there is a very low probability of feeling the faint fluctuations in the air. Belch.. It's probably similar to the cilia on a spider's leg, and I think of the stunners and flashbangs stored in the vault..."Zero tossed the stunner in his hand to Beltway, his fingers already standing up four!
Until this point, even Four Eyes, who had basically zero social skills, sensed that his captain seemed to be deliberately targeting Zero, a "special advisor" who had just joined the team.
And this young lady who didn't have any scheming didn't think much about it, and directly explained for Zero: "Uh... That's not wrong with Bruce's analysis... After all, creatures that live in the dark for long periods of time will either be photoapathic or their visual systems will evolve to be very sensitive, and these bundles of spiders are undoubtedly the former..."
When Zero heard this, he immediately cast a grateful look at the four-eyed lady, after all, it takes more than courage to dare to stand up and save himself at this time...
You must know that under the shroud of the aura exuded by the "wolf mother", even Beltway, who is usually a lot of talkers, also chose to remain silent at this moment, and even when he mended the gun against the spiders, he was quietly being a "reckless" man...
"Humph!" After listening to Zero's explanation, Ruper's face softened slightly, and he snorted coldly and glared at him again.
The meaning she gave was very obvious: "You** (harmony) had better not play tricks, otherwise the old lady will chop you in minutes!" ”
Just as the "wolf mother" turned around and was about to leave, she didn't want Zero's next words to make the nerves of everyone present tense again!
"Fifth!" But Zero put up his fifth finger and raised his other arm to point to the hole where the spider jumped out of the previous bundle and continued: "I guess this bunch of spiders must have been driven by some more powerful creature, and it should not be the woman you just said called King Ida who can do this..."
Ruper, whose expression changed to a fierce color in an instant, suddenly fixed his eyes on Zero, and the weapon in his hand was already aimed at the target standing in front of her, intentionally or unintentionally!
At this moment, under the gaze of the "wolf mother", Rao is mentally tenacious Zero couldn't help but start to get nervous, and before he could recover to the normal level, his five senses once again climbed sharply to the limit!
"Oops, it looks like this girl misunderstood what I said... F*** (Harmony)! After seeing the vicious expression on the face of the "wolf mother", Zero quickly figured out why.
After scolding in his heart, Zero, whose thoughts were racing, immediately opened his mouth to explain: "Uh... Ms. Ruper, you misunderstood, I mean it can't be humans who are driving away the spiders, because when the shock bomb exploded just now, I vaguely heard the roar of an unknown creature coming from the depths of that cavern... And the creature that really makes me feel dangerous is not the spiders..."
Although Zero's voice was not loud, it was enough to be heard clearly by everyone in the relatively quiet environment at this time.
Hearing this, several team members who were mending the spider knife stopped their movements almost at the same time, and the two who reacted the fastest, Beltway and Victor, had already aimed their guns at the dark hole...
"Uh... Don't be nervous, that thing is gone now, but—" Seeing that the atmosphere around him had become tense again, Zero raised his hand to stop Ruper, who was about to continue questioning him, and instead turned his head to look at Hank, who had already walked up to him.
The two of them seemed to agree on some sort of "eye contact" and nodded almost at the same time, and then they slowly walked together towards the dark interior of the passage after attaching tactical lights to the chambers of their weapons.
Although Ruper also wanted to go with him to investigate, there were still a lot of spiders left around that needed to be repaired, and she also needed to stay behind to count the battle damage of the personnel, so she had no choice but to let the two of them gradually go deeper into that dangerous passage.
Upon entering the passage, Zero discovers that all the spiders have died, and since the cluster stun bomb exploded in the near-confined environment of the underground passage, it also caused all creatures wandering around to actively stay away...
As they descended deeper into the dark passage, the two of them searched for clues on the nearby ground and walls with the light from the tactical lights, and soon Hank had a catch!
He suddenly stopped and raised his feet to kick a dead spider aside, while also using his tactical lamp to shake Zero, who was cautiously searching not far away.
Seeing that Zero had received a signal and was approaching him, Hank crouched down to measure the important clues he had found—some messy footprints that looked like they were human, but were clearly different!
As Victor's master, Hank is naturally very proficient in the ability of "footwork tracking", although the footprints in front of him look very messy and have been damaged a lot by the corpses of the spiders, there are always a few that have not been destroyed and can be analyzed.
Zero, who had just retreated to Hank's side, knew that they had found what they were looking for, just by glancing at the footprint they were measuring.
Suddenly, Zero's afterglow seemed to catch a glimpse of the wall next to him, and something seemed to be wrong, and he moved the light in his hand over, and the next moment Zero's face showed a shocked look!
Returning the same way a few minutes later, the duo had found the bundle of spiders as important evidence of their repellency, but when Hank had measured the footprints and seen what Zero had found, they felt their stress double.
Until the two of them reunited with the Delta team, their faces looked very ugly.
Eventually, it was Hank who described to Ruper what they saw in the passage: "These bundles of spiders were indeed driven here, and the guy left a lot of footprints, and it is unknown if they were trying to attack us..."
"People? That guy? Worse news seems to be there..."Ruper was keenly aware of the meaning of Hank's words, and immediately asked aloud, "Let me guess, could it be a human who drove away the spiders?" ”
"It's bad news, indeed," Hank nodded, and then said in a deep voice, "To be exact... The thing that drove away the spiders was indeed a human being, and according to the analysis of the footprints I measured, the guy weighed at least 400 pounds (PS: about 360 pounds), and he was still wearing on one foot. Belch.. Leather shoes..."
