Borderlands: Death Examination Room Chapter 31: Thunderstorm Mining Area (1)

Everyone followed Zhu Xinyue and climbed into the natural disaster memorial monument.

This monument looks big on the outside, but the space inside is narrow and cramped, only a small man like Zhu Xinyue can come and go freely, Cheng Jing is slender and can barely pass, and the remaining four big men will suffer a little.

Because the memorial monument for the natural disaster was toppled down, everyone could not stand, but could only prostrate inside, and the foot of the person in front of him could step on the head of the person below with a little more force.

For this reason, Lu Ting and Jiang Ruzhou quarreled several times.

Lu Ting patted the ashes on his head and scolded Jiang Ruzhou out of breath: "Little bastard! The last person who dared to kick Lao Tzu's head is still in our hospital morgue and it is not burning, do you want to try it too?! ”

However, Jiang Ruzhou is also a master who does not have the spirit of respecting the old and loving the young, so he has to quarrel with Lu Ting: "Why don't you come to the front?" Sister Crescent Moon kicked her feet harder. ”

Lu Ting had no masochistic tendencies, so he was reluctant to change positions with Jiang Ruzhou, so he raised his hand and slapped Jiang Ruzhou's leg: "Shut up!" Climb! ”

"What else are you climbing, it's to the ground."

Seeing Zhu Xinyue stop, everyone changed from a prostrate posture to sit in the memorial monument, and the shoulders that had been held against the stone wall were finally relaxed, but the low height brought a lot of pressure to the cervical spine.

Zhu Xinyue bundled the communicators of the six people together, and the emergency light integrated a large beam of light, illuminating all the space in the monument.

"Look!"

Zhu Xinyue pointed to a relief in front of her feet and said, "Look at this, is it very similar to the style of oil painting in the immortal cloister?!" ”

Sure enough, although the materials and techniques of the paintings are completely different, the treatment of the characters' demeanor is the same.

In this way, it is likely that the oil paintings in the cloister and the reliefs here are the work of the same person.

"These reliefs look old, and they are different from the carving techniques that have been popular for hundreds of years."

Jiang Ruzhou reached out and touched it, the memorial monument has always been a confined space, the relief is well preserved, and even the knife carving marks on it are clearly visible.

"You know carving?" Lu Ting glanced at him.

"My grandfather was a stonemason, and some people would come to him for drawings to carve, and when I was a child, I would go to help him after school, and my grandfather would tell me about art styles when he was free......"

He paused for a moment, realizing that except for himself, the other five people here were all from the wealthy families of Wright, and they probably couldn't understand what "commoner childhood life" was.

"That's good."

Shu Yungui also touched the stone carving and said, "I wanted to study art when I was a child, but everyone in my family studied science and had no aesthetic genes. ”

Lu Ting snorted twice: "I can draw human anatomy, do you want to learn?" ”

Shu Yungui smiled and pushed him aside.

"To be serious, the CGP exam has only been open for more than 40 years, according to Jiang Ruzhou, this relief has a history of hundreds of years, or even longer, and the relief is directly carved on the wall of the memorial monument, that is to say, this memorial monument is at least a few hundred years old."

Cheng Sikong said in a deep voice: "I have never seen this natural disaster memorial monument in any historical documents or news pictures, I have been to all administrative stars when I served in the Air Force before, and I have never heard of such a white monument on any administrative star." ”

He furrowed his eyebrows, his face a little heavy: "I want to remind you that this CGP exam is completely different from the exam process I experienced before, and I am not sure if the content of the exam has been changed, and I am not sure if someone did it on purpose." ”

Perhaps from the moment they started the hidden team mission, they gradually fell into the trap set by others.

The next road may be even more difficult.

Cheng Jing pondered: "Are people building a memorial monument and hiding it in order to erase natural disasters from human history, or to hide other ulterior secrets? ”

No one had an answer, so everyone could only focus on the relief again.

The first relief depicts the human migration spacecraft landing in the Hope Star Field, and the humans who have fallen into a cryogenic sleep due to a long and low-energy flight are awakened by the ship's master and begin to explore this barren and barren dark star field.

The second depicts humanity trying to find sustainable energy in the Hope Field, using the ship's power core to burn through the permafrost and discover mysterious crystalline minerals beneath it.

At this point, the story is normal, the remnants of humanity who have survived natural disasters have wandered alone in the universe for nearly a century, and finally have been captured by the gravity of the Hope Star Field and come to this new land.

Anyone who sees it will sing the praises of the adventurous spirit and indomitable will of the first generation of immigrants.

However, the content of the next relief is enough to surprise everyone.

It has been discovered that this mysterious crystalline mineral has been burned to convert energy far more than coal and nuclear power, and it is a God-given treasure for the remnants of mankind.

A large number of excavations began, and the giant mining rigs slammed into the ground inch by inch to the cheers of humans.

However, the demons hidden beneath the earth have been awakened, and they have burrowed out of the land to attack the humans.

"Oh my God......"

Zhu Xinyue pointed to the monster on the relief and said in a trembling voice: "Isn't this the Cree worm we saw in Giant Lion No. 1?!" ”

"That's right...... It's Cree. ”

Shu Yungui stared at the terrifying insect-shaped monster on the relief, and his heart was shocked.

It turns out that the history of human encounters with the Cree Worm can be traced back to the time of the first migration, and in the era when there were no large weapons and mechas, how did humans defeat the Cree Worm?

There are only three reliefs, and although the outer frame has been laid, the content of the reliefs has not been carved.

Shu Yungui stretched out his hand and wiped it in the place where the fourth relief should have been engraved, and everyone's communicators rang in unison.

[The main team quest "Once Upon a Time in the White Tower" has been received, please go to the "Thunderstorm Mining Area" to find the Azurite ×6, with a time limit of 12 hours, if it exceeds time, the mission will fail. 】

"Kyanite?"

Shu Yungui looked at the relief, and he suddenly felt that those ecstatic crystal minerals seemed to be highly similar to something terrifying.

He looked around, as if no one had the same thoughts as him.

"Let's check how much ammunition we have left."

Since it is a time-limited task, there is no time to delay, Cheng Sikong immediately called on everyone to organize resources and redistribute the materials that the team currently has.

Zhu Xinyue's heavy sniper was knocked out by Lake, and Cheng Sikong gave her his ZX-166 rapid-fire gun.

As the two strongest second-order mutants in the team, Cheng Sikong and Shu Yungui gave up their limited weapons to others for self-defense, leaving only a tactical dagger for themselves.

"Take this with you."

Lu Ting came over with a first-aid kit and was given a tube of blood clotting agent.

"Although it can't treat malignant transformation, it's okay to deal with man-made injuries such as gunshot wounds, and I can stand up at critical moments."

Jiang Ruzhou took the blood coagulant and put it in his trouser pocket and asked, "Will I be able to change the second-order mutation too?" ”

Lu Ting rolled his eyes: "Do you think the second order is cabbage radish, you can have it if you want it?" ”

Cheng Jing was also full of worries, and said: "We still have too little research on genetic mutation at this stage, but it is certain that the probability of human mutation and malignant transformation has increased much compared with the early stage of gene fusion experiments. ”

Shu Yungui was vigilant in his heart: "What do you say? ”

"The key reason why the gene fusion test was stopped at the beginning was that the fusion failure rate was too high, and in the past, there would only be a report of a single case of mutation or malignant transformation in a year or two, but you see now...... There are five mutants in our team alone......"

"I'm not sure if this phenomenon is a good thing or a bad thing right now, but it's not something to be thankful for in the long run."

Hitting the nail on the head, everyone understands that when more and more people begin to gain the ability to mutate, the human race will also be wiped out.

The topic was so heavy that no one talked much along the way, and they walked from early morning to late afternoon before they saw a thunderstorm mine in a deep depression.

From a distance, it looks like an overmined and abandoned mine, with dark clouds and thunder, and a succession of lightning that struck through the bare rocks, leaving black, charred lightning marks.

"Why is it that only here is the weather so bad? It's still a sunny sky next to it? ”

Zhu Xinyue looked around and found that there was really only this depression where the air flow was disturbed and thunderstorms were frequent.

"It's a localized atmospheric cavity."

Shu Yungui said: "I have read in astronomy books before that when there is local damage to the artificial atmosphere and a large number of cosmic storms pour in from the hole, it will cause abnormal local magnetic fields and small-scale climate upheaval. ”

"That's right."

Cheng Sikong crossed his arms, stood on the slope, and said, "In fact, this is to restore the original climate appearance of the Hope Star Field when there was no artificial atmosphere. ”

Zhu Xinyue was surprised: "It's not easy to survive in such a dense environment as thunderstorms, right?" How did the first generation of immigrants come to collect kyanite and deal with cree worms at the same time? ”

"Want to know?"

Cheng Sikong smiled: "Won't you know if you go in and take a walk?" Only by re-following the path of history can we know what history has hidden from us. ”

He grabbed Zhu Xinyue's collar and threw the person into the thunderstorm mining area.

"I'm going?!"

Zhu Xinyue was thrown out before she could even react, and fell with her back down to the depression in the mining area.

The thunder came, and it was about to fall on the top of Zhu Xinyue's head.

"Ahhhh

Zhu Xinyue exclaimed, and the other people's expressions also changed greatly!

"What are you doing?!"

Shu Yun said hurriedly, stretching out his hand to rewrite Zhu Xinyue's coordinates back.

Cheng Sikong took the first step, and the "original space" suddenly unfolded, enveloping all of them.

"She's short-legged, I'll just help her walk faster."

Cheng Sikong leaned over to Shu Yungui's side and asked with a smile, "What, are you worried about her?" ”

Shu Yungui rolled his eyes.

How did this person heal the scar and start to yaw? I knew I wouldn't save him!

Shu Yungui raised his foot and stepped on Cheng Sikong's boots, giving people half a yellow mud footprint.

"If you talk nonsense, I'll reorganize you!"

Shu Yungui viciously compared his middle finger.

"Turn you into a pig!"
