40. Alternative
"Captain, it's too hot here in City 0030, do we have to park the helicopter outside?" Patti wiped the sweat from her head and poured a bottle of water into her mouth.
Mu Xing looked at the 56 degrees displayed on the explorer mecha, frowned, and said, "At this temperature, there can't be survivors in 0030 City." We're only on the periphery now, and the temperature in the city is only getting hotter. ”
"Captain, you mean there's no survivor in that smoking house?" Donnie asked, a little confused.
"Even if it's a survivor, it's not an ordinary survivor."
Patti stuck out his tongue and continued to drink the water, it was clear that he could not bear the sensation of such heat as a black man.
Mu Xing looked at Patti speechlessly, typing a command on his explorer mech. Patti instantly felt a cool breeze coming from the explorer's mecha. He looked at Mu Xing with wide eyes and said in shock: "Captain, what is this function?" How I don't know. ”
"Air conditioning."
The others laughed and watched as Patti showed an embarrassed expression, that is, Patti's face darkened, otherwise they could all see that he was blushing.
Biannie patted Patti on the shoulder and whispered, "I thought you knew." ”
Yan Cheng also patted the other side of Patti's shoulder and said, "I thought you knew too." ”
Hanyu and Donnie also showed sympathetic glances.
The corners of Patti's mouth twitched, and she put on the helmet of the Explorer Mech. He didn't want to say a word now.
Zhang Wange stood beside Mu Xing and said, "Captain, I just used the cryogenic imaging system to find that there are monsters under our feet. ”
Mu Xing also turned on the cryogenic imaging system, and at this time, his explorer's helmet showed the monster under his feet. Most are giant Crocodile Eaters, and they are supposed to be in the magma tunnels under the volcano. However, Mu Xing found a larger Crocodile Swallower, at least 150 meters long. However, these crocodile swallowers seem to have gone into hibernation and have not moved their positions.
Mu Xing saved the image and looked at the team members. It seems that the 150-meter-long crocodile eater is the product of the third evolution, and it is believed that they have devoured some rare ore from the volcano.
"Go to the crater."
After Mu Xing covered the helicopter with the invisible cloth, he led the team members to run towards the crater. Their first task is to explore the cause of the violent thermal reaction here, so they must enter the volcano through the crater in order to collect footage of the 150-meter-long Crocodile Swallower, and possibly even take some of the material from it back for study.
In the crater of City 0030, Mu Xing saw the 175 degrees displayed on the explorer mecha, and said in the communication channel: "The explorer mecha is very resistant to high temperatures, everyone turns on the flying wings, and we float directly to the magma channel below." ”
"Roger."
In the depths of the passage, Mu Xing saw the crocodile swallowing monster like a hill in front of him and stopped.
At the same time, Pati's voice came from the communication channel: "Good boy, the crocodile swallowers after three evolutions are too big, and their shell scale armor has grown spikes, and there are red stripes like magma on their bodies." ”
Mu Xing turned his head to look at the team members and ordered, "Be careful, record the size characteristics of this crocodile swallower." ”
"Hanyu Mist, can you cut off his scale armor?" Mu Xing asked.
"Hmm. I know a lot about the crocodile swallower's body structure, and I can use the Explorer's dark matter black knife to cut off some of the sensory nerves around the crocodile eater's scale armor, and then chop off part of the scale armor. Hanyu was confident in this, and he looked at the crocodile eater lying motionless on the ground, and touched the wall of the passage.
"Thorn"
Hanyu Mist walked to the position under the crocodile eater, checked the position, and stabbed the black knife into the crocodile swallower's abdomen, and then quickly spun the blade, and a large piece of scale armor with red stripes fell in front of him.
Hanyu Wu put away the black knife and inserted it into his waist, picked up this scale armor and pressed it against the wall of the passage and returned to Mu Xing and the others.
Mu Xing nodded at him, he didn't expect Hanyu Wu to be so clean and neat, and he deserved to be a sword master in country R.
Mu Xing had no intention of continuing to explore the inside of the magma tunnel. In such a long and narrow passage, the deeper you go, the more dangerous it is, and it is not necessary.
Mu Xing led the team back to the bottom of the crater and climbed up with the help of the robotic arm of the explorer mecha.
Seeing Hanyu Mist with the scale armor tied to his body, he motioned for Patti to drag a little Hanyu Mist behind him. He didn't want to fall, after all, the crater walls were brittle.
When Mu Xing and the others returned to the crater, he sorted out the information that had been explored in 0030 City and sent it back to the command base. By the way, he plans to lead the team into City 0030 to explore.
After half an hour, return to the initial anchor point. After Mu Xing asked Hanyu to put the scale armor on the helicopter, the seven people began to sit around for a short meal and rest.
"Captain, you've ever killed monsters in the dream world, have you ever thought you're Superman?" Zhang Wange sat there and asked.
Zhang Wange is a mental evolver in the magic capital of country A, and was once assigned to return to the magic capital security base as a manager. It was clear that Zhang Wange was not suitable for managing the security base, because of her mistakes and dereliction of duty, she almost caused the wall of life to be broken by the crocodile swallower. She was then summoned back to the Command Base and assigned to participate in training as the pilot of the Warden Mech.
Of course Mu Xing knew her, because he was the one who went to support the security base of the Demon Capital that time. As a soldier on the Wall of Life, Zhang Zihao was almost killed by the Crocodile Eater.
After that time, Mu Xing asked Gu Nannan, who had been cured, to take Zhang Zihao to live at the Wudu Safety Base. Then Zhang Zihao relied on his own connections and efforts to re-enter Wudu Airport to work.
However, Zhang Wange asked this question, and he still replied very seriously: "I haven't thought about Superman, I just felt very confused at first, whether I am a human being or not, what I do every day, what I want to do, whether what I am doing is a great cause, whether it is something I admire." ”
Zhang Wange lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said, "Captain, I know, I will definitely not make any more mistakes in the future." ”
"I hope so." Mu Xing said with a smile.
"Bang"
"Shotguns?" Mu Xing stood up and looked at the woods not far away.
Annie also climbed the big tree next to her, raised her sniper rifle and looked at the woods over there.
"Captain, no one in sight." Bai Anni said as he squatted on a tree.
"Patty, you go over there to investigate, and if you find a living person, report it to the communication channel."
"Okay." Patty nodded, pulled two pistols from his belt, and ran into the woods over there.
Half an hour later, Patti ran back, shook his head, and said, "There is only a mutilated corpse of a normal crocodile swallower with two bullets on it. The person who killed it cleaned up the scene very cleanly, and there was not even a trace of it nearby. ”
Mu Xing looked in the direction of City 0030 and said slowly: "Let's go, go into the city to explore." At least the gunfire just now tells us that there are indeed living people here. ”
The ground in City 0030 is covered with volcanic rock, which is very brittle, and Mu Xing can easily step on this rock. Mu Xing heard the breaking sound of "Kaka" under his feet and stopped.
"Have you noticed that the ground in front of us has not been trampled on at all?"
Mu Xing gently tapped the volcanic rock, then picked it up and pinched it, and when he saw the rock that had been pinched into powder, he frowned.
Mu Xing had no choice but to let Yan Cheng release the drone to probe around to see if it was like this in the neighborhood. They need to find traces of humanity.
Mu Xing saw through the controller screen that this was the case in the vicinity, and he asked Yan Cheng to put away the drone. Turn on the positioning function of the explorer mecha and synchronize the room where the smoke is emitted.
"It seems that there is no time to investigate why there are no traces of a stampede, so let's go there and investigate." Mu Xing's heart was a little confused, he always felt that this matter was not so simple.
Two hours later, Mu Xing and the others came to the smoking house.
Mu Xing pushed open the door and looked inside, there was only a wooden bed, a wooden table, some stone bowls, and a simple stove.
After Mu Xing saw the wooden bed, he stepped forward and measured the length of the wooden bed, and said, "If you are less than one meter five tall, you should be a child." ”
Patti didn't expect that such a large ruined city, with frequent crocodile swallowers, could survive for so long for a child.
"It seems that the child has not returned. Let's wait for him here. After Mu Xing finished speaking, he walked out of the room. He sat in the doorway with the others and looked out at the street not far away.
After about half an hour, the door of this room was opened, and a hand reached out from inside and patted Mu Xing's shoulder.
Mu Xing didn't hesitate too much, and directly grabbed the wrist of this hand and pulled her out.
After Mu Xing saw the figure covered in tattered white cloth fall out of his shoulder, he pressed her head against the ground with his other hand.
The others were also startled, and stood up and looked at Mu Xing and the girl he was holding onto.
Short unkempt black hair and tattered white cloth wrapped around the girl. Zhang Wange was wearing an explorer helmet and suddenly found that the cryogenic imaging system lit up.
Zhang Wange suddenly shouted: "Captain, she is an experimental monster!" ”
Mu Xing was stunned for a second, looking at the girl who was held down by herself, a humanoid creature?
Mu Xing pressed for so long, and the girl didn't cry and scream, it was obvious that something was wrong. He lifted the girl's head and asked, "What's your name?" Can you speak? ”
At this time, the others also saw the face of a little yellow-skinned girl exposed, and her eyes were even black.
The girl opened her mouth to speak, but no sound came out.
But Mu Xing seemed to hear a voice in his head, "My name is 狝 (xiǎn), and I can communicate with my spiritual will. ”
Mu Xing let go of the girl's head and pulled her up, facing him. Mu Xing took her arm and looked at her carefully. The others also walked behind Mu Xing and looked at the little girl.
Mu Xing continued to ask, "Are you an experimental monster, or a human?" Why are you in the real world? ”
"I don't know if I'm a monster or a human, I can travel freely between the dream world and the real world."
Mu Xing frowned when he heard what he said in his mind, "Is it different?" ”
