Chapter 1232: The Cave
On April 10, Lin ran into the finals.
As Barto said, the focus of attention is on the third-level mutants, and the audience of the second-level mutants is mostly ordinary people, and they can still see it with their eyesight, and the third-level mutants are already masters, and ordinary people can't see a flower.
There were more bunkers that had the intention of soliciting him, but Barto did not dare to move, and Kidd, the chief officer of Bunker No. 31, also came to watch during the semi-finals, chatted with Lin Ranran, and said that he would be promoted to the third level as soon as possible.
Peter, Kidd and others are from the same academy in Peacock City, and the chief officials of the bunker are almost the same, although Peacock City has people from different countries, but it is the mutants of the original Peacock City who dominate.
In the evening, Barto asked worriedly, "Is there no chance to go to another bunker?"
"It seems so. ”
Seeing that his face was ugly, Lin Chao thought that there were no other bunkers to recruit, and said, "If Kidd is willing to train me, it's not bad, I can be independent if I am promoted to the third level as soon as possible." ”
Barto thought to himself, I hope so.
The opponent in the final is called Green, from Bunker 2, and his ability is a rare energy sword, and the mutants in Peacock City are relatively lacking in attack ability, and Green is a half-breed, and he is highly valued as a warrior-type mutant, and he will be very useful on the battlefield fighting mutant beasts.
With the energy sword in his hand, Green has both offense and defense, and in Barto's opinion, he is a strong opponent, he can't help but ask: "You don't have a weapon, you have a disadvantage against Green, he is not as fast as you, but that sword can block attacks." ”
Lin Lan nodded and said, "No one came to me to talk about the championship, it's strange." ”
Bartow didn't react for a moment.
According to the general idea, the people from Bunker No. 2 came to contact Lin Ran and asked him to lose, or people with ulterior motives asked Lin Ran to win, Lin Ran had deliberately lost in the rookie competition before, making way for Ji Yuanhua.
Until now, no one has mentioned this kind of thing, Lin Ran laughed at himself, he really doesn't pay attention to it, those big bunkers don't care about the championship of the second-level mutant competition.
He was the only one in the room, and a tendon on his right arm was swollen and surging.
The cyan villain came out of Lin Chao's arm, it was Ren Zhen.
"You have upgraded a lot of Gang Qi now, and I haven't finished digesting it yet, is it because you are stronger than before?"
Lin Lan said: "It's hard to say, my current ability is different from before, there are gains and losses." ”
The previous long-range attack ability "Feihong Critical Hit" was very strong, and it could accurately hit targets several kilometers away, which was equivalent to a top-level sniper rifle, but it was a pity that it was not there now, but Lin Chao had a stronger speed, and the distance of a few kilometers in the later stage was instantaneous.
There was a sound of footsteps outside, and Lin looked out the window, it was Peter.
This usually thin bunker boss came to him at this time, and it was thought that it was also related to tomorrow's final.
"You've done a great job, and my junior brother Kidd appreciates it too. ”
Peter came in and stood there, his tone not salty or light, as usual.
"It's best to be able to win the championship, don't be reluctant if you can't get it, the rewards for the runner-up are also very rich, you can get a lot of it yourself, and your strength will be very strong when you reach the third level, and you will have a great future in the future. You don't have to go back after the game, just go with Kidd. ”
There is no such thing as cheating in Lin Lan's imagination, it is these ordinary words.
......
The people who came to see the finals of the second-level mutants were still mainly ordinary people, and even Kidd, who admired Lin Chao, did not come.
Green's energy sword is indeed powerful, but it's a pity that his opponent is Lin Chao, an intermediate bronze battle master whose strength overwhelms him.
The two played three games and fought for nearly an hour before the winner was decided, which was also the result of Lin Chao's deliberate control.
The championship medal is beautiful, a palm-sized statue of a goddess.
The award ceremony had to wait for the end of the third-level mutant competition, and everyone's eyes were on it, and Lin Chao also wanted to see it, but was called away by Kidd's people.
In addition to Lin Chao, several other contestants who also participated were recruited by Kidd and each received a batch of energy potions.
The man in charge of receiving them is called Gerald, with brown skin and fierce eyes, and always feels like he will jump up and cut people at any moment.
As the champion, Lin Chao was not frightened by his aura, and after accepting the energy potion, he asked, "Lord Kidd said that he would arrange for me to break through the third level as soon as possible, when is it?"
Gerard didn't have a good face towards him, glared at him and said, "What's the hurry, the adults will naturally arrange it after I go back." ”
He looked at the others again, "You are all the same, this time the bunker is going to take out a lot of resources to let a group of people break through the third level, so no matter the rank, as long as there are people who join the bunker." ”
This made the others look happy, but Lin Chao felt that there was something wrong with it.
Bunker No. 31 is also a medium-sized bunker, what to do with cultivating so many third-level mutants at once, and unlike large bunkers, it has the ability to fight externally and can replenish consumption through war.
The food during the competition was good, Lin changed places and let go of his belly to eat, and the same was true for others, the higher the ranking, the more subsidies the bunker gave, and the new members were all from the low-level bunker.
Barto sent a message through people, hoping to follow Lin Chao, and Lin Chao asked him to wait for a while, and when he reached the third level, he needed to form his own team.
Not allowed to go out, except for Lin Chao to attend the award ceremony, everyone was in the guest house, and the questions were getting bigger and bigger.
When it was finally time to return, the plane was talking about the competition of Level 3 mutants, and the masters were always more attractive.
"Hey, listen to me, let's not just go back, let's go on a mission first. ”
Gerard came among them, "This mission is about who can get the mutation factor first to break through to level three, so you must do your best. ”
"What task?"
"It's not going to deal with mutant beasts, is it?"
"Is there any danger?"
Gerard did not answer the non-verbal question, saying, "Soon you will know." ”
Lin Chao is ready to escape, there is no danger, it is impossible, Kidd will not raise so many second-level mutants for nothing, there must be a plan.
After getting off the plane, everyone got into a truck and was taken to a valley.
More than two hundred people have been stationed in the valley, there are ready-made barracks.
With a total of 7 new members and 4 more in the camp, Gerald gathered 11 people together and opened the map.
"All look at it, here. ”
Gerald's finger pointed somewhere on the map, "There are mutant beasts hiding in caves, don't worry, only the badly injured mutant apes and mutant cows are left, maybe they are dead now." Your task is to go in and find out, and you don't need to fight. ”
He looked at the expressions on some people's faces and sneered, "Are you afraid? It is impossible for there to be a living mutant beast here, we have surrounded this place, and if there is a really powerful mutant beast, Lord Kidd can't leave, so there is no need to worry at all." ”
The eyes of the new member flashed on Lin Chao's body, no matter what, he was the champion, the strongest among the living people, so I hope he can stand up.
Lin Chao did not disappoint, looked at the map without changing his face, and asked, "There are so many people, why do you let 11 of us go in?"
Gerard said: "It's very simple, the aura of a third-level master will be sensed by mutant beasts, but not below third-level level, this is a law that we paid a lot of money to discover. 360 Literature Network
Someone immediately said: "You just said that there are only seriously injured mutant apes and mutant cows inside, and even if the master is sensed by them, it will be fine." ”
The others looked at Gerald to see how he explained.
Gerard said: "Those mutant beasts have been here for a long time, and the adults judge that there may be an existence like an altar in the tropical continent, so they plan to find a group of powerful second-level mutants to investigate." ”
The altar is an altar that can make the best spars, Lin Chao's mind went back to a few years ago, and thought for a while, if there was such an important arrangement, the mutant beasts should also be in groups, not just a few.
"It's 4 p.m. tomorrow, so you still have time to get fit, and if you find out, you know, it's a big benefit. ”
Gerald left the conversation behind and walked away, and the people in the camp were talking about the sudden adventure.
Someone said to Lin Chao: "Among us, Yi Amu is the strongest, what do you say?"
Lin Lan said: "I just go to check and I think it's okay, I don't think the bunker will let us go to death, maybe there are really important items inside." ”
According to his real thoughts, he can go when he is stronger, even if it is the altar, he doesn't care, but Kidd must have forced them to go here too.
The only reward for the championship is the medal in his hand, and the other items are in the hands of Peter and Kidd, and Lin Chao has a deep understanding of what they do.
"Since the champions have said it, let's go in together. ”
"As Gerrard is, you can't go if you don't go. ”
"Then prepare well, Amu, let's discuss the plan. ”
Hearing the discussion in the barracks, Kidd in the other room smiled faintly.
"Amu is a wise man, and with him he should be able to find out the vision in the cave. ”
Peter, who was across from him, was not as relieved as Kidd.
There were originally several mutant beasts in the valley, and when Gerald led people to surround them, they hid in the cave, and in the process of entering the cave, they lost a lot of manpower, and there seemed to be a mysterious power inside.
After Kidd's personal action, he found that every time a third-level mutant entered, it would cause that force to counterattack, and there would be no third-level mutant, so he thought of paying attention and letting a group of powerful second-level mutants enter.
He had already prepared a team, but it coincided with a fighting tournament, so he decided to temporarily recruit a team to explore the way first, and it happened that Amu in Peter's hand was strong, so he simply cooperated with Peter.
On the one hand, he and Peter are classmates in the same academy, and more importantly, Peter's strength is not as good as him, which is convenient for him to manipulate.
If something like an altar is present, the credit belongs to him alone, and if Peter does not agree, he will not remember the friendship of his classmates.
......
In the bright afternoon, eleven young people stood in front of the cave, and a gloomy wind came out, and Lin Chao felt his hairs stand up.
"There's weird, it's not a simple mutant beast, there should be something else. But what really valuable things are in this kind of place?"
He thought to himself, and Gerald was already urging him later.
"Let's go. ”
Lin ran wore the cheapest protective clothing, shields, pistols, rifles, flashlights, locators, communicators, grenades...... It can be said that he is fully armed, and basically he will not be killed in seconds in front of the seriously injured mutant apes and mutant cows.
He walked in the front, and the others plucked up their courage to approach the gloomy hole.
According to information provided by Gerald, there is a passage thirty meters down from the cave, with ropes leading to the bottom.
Lin Chao was in the passage, and someone suggested grouping, and it was still an aisle after going down, but the information showed that the people in Bunker 31 didn't figure it out, so they had to explore left and right.
Lin Ran and a group of four people went to the left, and the other six people went to the right.
The aisle was about five meters wide and dark, and everyone turned on their flashlights.
Touching the black rocks, it was cold and hard, and Lin Chao felt that the wind was stronger than above, and the temperature dropped by more than ten degrees.
"No, I haven't heard that the altar of mutant beasts can call wind and rain, it feels like there are high-level mutant beasts. ”
"No, if there is, we won't be able to escape. ”
Lin Ran stopped their wild suspicions, "The appearance of a high-level mutant beast in the hinterland has been discovered a long time ago, and there should be something else inside." ”
The champion's words still had a bit of weight, and the others didn't mention it again, but they refused to let them explore the way in front, and Lin Chao could only be in front by himself.
Judging from the traces in the aisle, it doesn't look like it's caused by mutant beasts.
In the battlefield of the tropical continent, Lin Lan had seen many caves of mutant beasts, which were very smooth, and they directly punched out the passage with their powerful flesh bodies, and they would not be as rugged as they were in front of them.
After walking more than 2,000 meters, five holes appeared in front of him, and the scene was silent for a while.
"It's dangerous to go separately, so let's all explore one by one. ”
"There's no signal from the communicator, so if the one on the right doesn't see it, you can call them along. ”
"Why don't you go back and come back next time?"
Lin Chao couldn't command these people, and said, "I'll go and see first." ”
He walked straight to the first hole, and the remaining four people looked at his back and still didn't move.
There was a unique smell of mutant beasts in the air, and it was all dark in the cave except for a small flashlight, and the footsteps of Lin Chao were very clear.
A strange cry came, and Lin Chao stopped.
It's kind of like a mutant ape, but there's something mixed in there.
He frowned, if it was a mutant ape inside, it should come out, as mutant beasts, they did not have the consciousness of avoiding humans, but regarded themselves as hunters.
Lin Chao waited for a while, the voice was still there, and he continued to move forward.
The cave gradually went down, and when Lin Chao passed a fork in the road, he looked to the left, and came to the realization that the five cave entrances would eventually meet somewhere, that is, the Sobu Suspicious Array.
Lin Ran walked along the rightmost road, the smell of mutant beasts getting heavier and heavier, until he saw the corpse of a mutant ape.
There were hundreds of square meters here, and the body of the mutant ape, which was more than five meters tall, fell to the ground, as if telling the ferocity of the past.
The lights swept by one and there were many stones around.
Lin looked at the stones, and suddenly said, "Is there anyone? I am a spy sent by the bunker, and someone squeaked." ”
No response.
Lin Chao said: "These stones are all temporarily destroyed, I think there were stone tables, chairs and beds here, but they were shattered, presumably it is a master here, I am just a small soldier, and I haven't come out yet?"
