Chapter 58: The Source
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Tang Yuanhua walked in the front, Ye Feng in the middle, Yu Shen in the back, two groups of power armored warriors, fully armed, accompanied into the mining area.
Ye Feng looked at the partition on the light screen, Hu Wanyong, the mine manager, was still quite capable, and divided the entire operation into several areas, the top layer was the absolute safety area, the middle layer was the relative safety area, and the lower layer was the exploration area marked in red. Underneath the exploration zone, there are also dark red unknown areas.
The location of the missing people in the D mining area can also be seen from the light screen map, at a glance, there are no missing incidents on the upper and middle floors, and all the missing incidents are in the exploration area.
Ye Feng stretched out his finger and slid on the light screen, dividing the exploration area, according to the channel, into twelve small areas, the area of each area should be able to be explored in one day.
The light screen in Yu Shen's hand was synchronized with Ye Feng's light screen, looking at the area divided by Ye Feng, he frowned and said, "Ye Feng, the area division is too big, and it can't be completed in one day." β
"It's okay, there are two groups of power armor fighters here, and there are enough personnel. Ye Feng said with a smile.
"They ......" Yu Shen didn't continue, listening to his voice, he knew that he didn't have much hope for power armor fighters.
The natural conditions of the Stygian Cave Star are not good, as long as you go out of the living area, you need to wear power armor. Naturally, the military uses combat power armor, and the mining personnel have special mining power armor, and the exploration team also has corresponding equipment.
Ye Feng's heart moved, the spirit of the heart unfolded, and twenty-two filaments spread out invisibly around, applying for access to the twenty armored soldiers and Yu Shen at the same time.
"Suspicious?" Yu Shen shouted in surprise and agreed to access, and in the blink of an eye, twenty-three people, the souls of the heart, formed a group that could be contacted at any time.
"Damn...... Ye Feng, you are a bronze spirit warlock, how is this possible?" Tang Yuanhua shouted.
"It's just a matter of luck. Ye Feng said casually, except for Wuzhu, Yang Cheng, and Wu Xiaoqing, he didn't even know about the Yellow Sea.
"I see, no wonder you've divided the search area so wide. Yu Shen understood, with the Heart Spirit Warlock, the efficiency could be increased by at least several times, and the size of the area divided by Ye Feng was already quite conservative.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the distance is a thousand meters, please don't go out of this range, advance in parallel. Ye Feng gave instructions in the mental network.
With the spiritual network, the command is like a finger, at this moment, Ye Feng seems to have returned to Baichuan Star, commanding the 701st Legion to fight against the blood clan.
Searching in the mining area, with a psychic network, is much more efficient and much better than on the ground. Some passages are only a few tens of meters away from each other, but they are like two worlds, and with a psychic network, there is no need to worry about communication problems.
You must know that after going deep into the mining area, most of the wireless communication equipment is ineffective. Even if there are no spatial rifts, the ore veins alone will affect the communication effect.
For three days in a row, I went out early and returned late, searched for about 12 hours a day, and nothing appeared, and it was very calm and safe here.
After the search was completed, Ye Feng still had to do daily absorption and cultivation, since the fourth spirit bead appeared, Ye Feng obviously felt that the degree to which he absorbed and transformed spiritual energy was more than twice as fast as before. The alloy powder brought this time, I'm afraid it won't last long.
One of the most obvious changes was that the absorption time had increased a lot, and Ye Feng suspected that the previous changes were likely to have improved his soul energy.
In the process of absorption by the spirit sorcerer, the most consumed and the most uncontrollable is the soul energy. Metal energy and blood energy are both external things, as long as you are not bad luck and are willing to work hard, you can always get enough resources.
Only soul energy, which cannot be seen, touched, or detected by any device. A sorcerer can only judge by the amount of psionic energy he transforms each day, and the length of time he has been practicing.
After the end of each day's cultivation, if Ye Feng still had the energy, he would try to control the spirit of the heart and continue to transform the villous companion creatures, and in three days, another drop of liquid was transformed.
Looking at the light screen map in his hand, Ye Feng shook his head, feeling that if he continued to search like this, it would not have much effect. Turning his head, he revisited the last location of the previous disappearances. These locations are not accurate, and due to communication reasons, Hu Wanyong can only give an area, not an accurate punctuation.
"Well, here, and here, it doesn't seem to have much to do with it. Ye Feng watched it for a long time, but he didn't find a pattern.
"Try it as a marker?" Wu Xiaoqing's voice came from behind him.
"Suspicious, why are you here?" Ye Feng was surprised, Wu Xiaoqing and Huang Hai should be in charge of the B mining area.
"I missed you, so I came. Wu Xiaoqing said calmly.
"I miss you too, let's go search together tomorrow. Ye Feng nodded and said.
"Well, let's try the marking method first. Wu Xiaoqing said, connected the light screen to the printer, and printed out the map with a piece of zero photo paper. Find the drawing tool, lie down on the map and start locating it.
"This ...... What is it? Ye Feng watched Wu Xiaoqing keep using the compass and drawing circles in the missing area, unable to understand what she was doing.
"Haven't you learned the marking method? Oh...... I see, you've been in the Blue Dot for too short, and you're in the Power Armor Department, which is a compulsory course for the Command Department and the Staff Department. Wu Xiaoqing said while doing his homework on the map.
"When the area is unclear, use a compass to delineate all the accident locations to the maximum extent, and then use a straight ruler to cut out the perimeter of the circle to check the relationship between each other. Although Wu Xiaoqing's homework on the picture is not very proficient, it is not slow, and it took ten minutes to punctuate and cut out.
"What do you see?" Ye Feng was really not familiar with the business of the staff officers, and there were special tactical staff officers in the legion before.
"I didn't see anything, so let's enter the light brain and filter the area. Wu Xiaoqing punctuated the homework on the map, entered it into the light screen map, and selected fuzzy filtering in the light brain.
In the blink of an eye, the light brain ran tens of billions of fuzzy calculations, popping up more than 40 screening possibilities. Wu Xiaoqing opened it one by one and studied it with Ye Feng.
"It doesn't seem to be of much use. Ye Feng looked at them one by one.
"Wait a minute, look at this one. Wu Xiaoqing swiped his fingers across the screen, and pointed back the previous screening map that Ye Feng had swept.
"This one...... It seems to ...... It's nothing. Ye Feng looked at it carefully for a while, but there was still nothing different about it.
"Let's compare the mineral distribution map. β
As soon as the mineral distribution map provided by Hu Wanyong was taken out, Ye Feng immediately saw the similarities between the screening map and the distribution map.
Wu Xiaoqing's fingers quickly pressed a few times on the top nodes, and the light brain automatically formed a dotted line, drawing a long and narrow area.
"Mixed veins. Ye Feng shouted.
The missing locations were originally quite far away from the mixed veins, but when the areas were marked, it was clear that the farthest end of all the missing locations was close to the mixed veins.
"That's right, mixed veins. The location of the disappearance given by Mine Chief Hu is not very accurate, and there is only one range. Wu Xiaoqing was also a little excited, it seemed that she had found the key to the problem of the Stygian Cave Star.
In fact, this matter is not Hu Wanyong's problem, after all, in the depths of the mining area, communication is very problematic, voice communication is almost impossible, and only high-intensity signals can be used to regularly issue positioning instructions. It could be a flash of light, or it could be a powerful pulse.
The information Hu Wanyong obtained was usually the last time the missing person made a marker to indicate the location. After that, both the Explorers and the Armored Warriors may move to other locations.
The terrain in the mine is so complex that sometimes the distance between two points seems to be close, but in fact to reach another point you may have to bypass the entire mining area.
"I'll take a look...... Ye Feng put the position of the mixed ore vein to the maximum, and looked at it carefully for a while, but now he couldn't find any other rules except that the missing place was very close to the mixed ore vein.
"Please come over to Mine Chief Hu and Captain Exploration, we see it's useless. Wu Xiaoqing said.
Sure enough, when the exploration captain saw the picture marked by the dotted line of the light brain, his face immediately became nervous.
"Captain Zhao, what do you see?" asked Hu Wanyong.
"Mine manager, these marked points have one thing in common. β
"You say. Hu Wanyong nodded, Zhao Xiangdong, the exploration captain of Area D, was experienced, and he deliberately dragged him to his own mining area.
"The amount of associated ore produced in these places is 200 percent higher than in other places. Zhao Xiangdong said.
"Companion biology??" Ye Feng asked. When the mixed veins are produced, there is not only one kind of villus companion organism, but also several other companion organisms, and those substances are similar to garbage to Ye Feng.
"The fluffy companion has not yet been officially named. Zhao Xiangdong said.
"Well, thank you both. β
Yu Shen looked at it for a while, drew a few key locations in the area, and then pointed out a few thin lines with his hands: "How about searching according to this route?"
Huang Hai also came over, originally came to the Stygian Cave Star this time, just to protect Wu Xiaoqing's safety. After Xiaoqing's analysis and the confirmation of Hu Wanyong and Zhao Xiangdong, Huang Hai was also interested. Obviously, there is something wrong with the Stygian Cave Star.
"No problem, it takes about five days to complete the search of these areas. Huang Hai nodded and said, glancing at Yu Shen approvingly, this little guy's cultivation can only be regarded as average, and his reaction is not slow.
At the edge of the mixed vein, the group moved forward cautiously, this was the fourth day of searching for the mixed vein, more than forty kilometers deep into the surface, at the edge of the dark red unknown area. Except for the occasional arrival of prospecting and search teams in the past, mining operators have never reached such a deep place.
"Spread out, be careful, I don't feel right. Ye Feng had a strange feeling, as if he had smelled the breath of the blood clan.
"Well, there's the Bloodline, right around here. Huang Hai said affirmatively.
Speaking of Cheng DΓΉ, who was familiar with the Blood Clan, except for Ye Feng, the Yellow Sea had the most contact with the Blood Clan.
"A group of sixes, the Present Blood Clan. Before the voice of the Yellow Sea fell, the voice of the power armor warrior came from the psychic network.
"Stand back, defend, support arrives in thirty seconds. Ye Feng glanced at the number six position and quickly made a judgment. Don't look at the straight line distance, if you want to get to the position of number six, you have to go around at least a few circles. Thirty seconds was originally too short, not enough at all, but fortunately, there was the Yellow Sea, and Ye Feng couldn't understand his degree until now, how could humans be as fast as that?
Huang Hai glanced at Ye Feng and Wu Xiaoqing, turned to leave, his body flashed a few times in succession, and disappeared into the deep passage.
"Ah......h
"Quick, faster. Ye Feng pulled Wu Xiaoqing and ran towards the position of No. 6, Yu Shen and Tang Yuanhua sandwiched the two of them in the middle, their degree could have been faster, in order to ensure the safety of Ye Feng and Wu Xiaoqing, some couldn't let go.
A few minutes later, Ye Feng arrived at the scene, and in addition to the Yellow Sea, four power armored warriors arrived, and they were very close to the location of the accident. Two pools of red gum could be seen on the ground, the corpses of the BloodClan, which looked a little disgusting, similar to some kind of vomit.
Wu Xiaoqing, who saw the corpse of the Blood Clan for the first time, took a step back and hid behind Ye Feng, Ye Feng could clearly hear the nausea sound coming out of her throat.
In addition to the two Bloodclan corpses, there was also a Power Armor warrior lying on the ground, whose shoulder armor had been pierced, which had been urgently treated by his comrades, and the bleeding had been stopped with a quick adhesive, and the damaged shoulder armor had been sealed. This is not the Apocalypse, once the fully enclosed power armor is punctured, the air pressure is enough to kill.
Fortunately, on the power armor, there is a perfect life-saving system, even if there is no help from comrades, it can repair itself in a short time.
"The shoulder bone is shattered, half of the blood is lost, and there is a high degree of coagulation. Huang Hai said indifferently, he has seen a lot of injuries like this, and this person is hopeless.
With the current medical ability of the four stars in Skyrim, more than half of the blood has been lost. Comminuted fractures are not a big problem, but the blood is highly coagulated, there is no cure, and the fighter can't survive even three hours.
Ye Feng took a few steps forward, squatted in front of the wounded soldier, and pressed the life-saving system on the armor. An injection tube sticks out of the helmet, in the blood vessels of the **** neck. Remove a reconstituted formulation and connect it to an external formulation delivery port. With your right hand, enter the activation code on the emergency pneumatic pump. The next moment, the whole bottle of the rebirth preparation was injected into the body of the injured person by the life-saving system.
During the whole process, Ye Feng was extremely proficient, as if he had been trained thousands of times, and he didn't even use two seconds.
"It's so fast......" Huang Hai glanced at Ye Feng in surprise, the injection of external life-saving preparations into the armor is a compulsory course for all power armor fighters. But in Huang Hai's opinion, even if he made his own move, he might not be faster and more accurate than Ye Feng.
This kid is a little weird, without countless operations, he can't reach this level at all, even if he is a medical soldier, he may not be able to do it.
"What did you inject him?" asked the wounded's comrade-in-arms with red eyes.
"Don't ask, send someone to send him back for deep treatment. Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he brought a lot of rebirth elixir this time, he didn't expect to use it so quickly.
"Boy, I don't care who you are, he's highly infected and dead. Send him back, it's better to help him get rid directly. β
"Don't worry, he can't die, don't ask anything else. Ye Feng said.
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
"Ye Feng?" Wu Xiaoqing asked, leaning next to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng opened the encrypted channel: "Rebirth preparations, specially used for the treatment of coagulation." It's currently the top secret of the Apocalypse, and it's best not to let anyone know about it except your father. This is what I gave you to drink before. β
The rebirth preparation is revealed, and it is always necessary to take it out and use it. With Wu Yi's status, he would soon be able to know the existence of this preparation, but there was no need to keep it secret from him.
"Is there really such a preparation?" Wu Xiaoqing naturally understood what it meant to be able to treat blood coagulation.
"Well, because of the raw materials, the yield will not be too large. Ye Feng said helplessly, if there were enough angry blood flowers, the first blood war would not be a problem at all. Even if the four stars in the sky are suddenly attacked by the blood clan, they have enough strength to deal with it.
The number of human armies has always been higher than that of the Blood Clan, and it is protected by power armor, and the number of people who actually die directly on the battlefield is not large.
After Ye Feng finished explaining to Wu Xiaoqing, he walked to the side of the two blood corpses and observed them carefully. With his eyes, it was naturally not difficult to see that these two blood clans, at least above the fifth level of strength, appeared next to the corpse, a bunch of white fluffy companions.
"Boss Huang, what level of blood clan is this?"
"One is level six, one is level seven. Huang Hai said calmly, for him, the blood clan below the ninth level basically did not pose any threat.
"Are they collecting companions?" Ye Feng asked uncertainly.
"If we had a good eye, it would be like this. Huang Hai nodded. This thing is weird.
Anyone who knows about the Bloodline knows that the Bloodline has no interest in the resources in the four-star skyspace of the Skyrim, they only care about the blood of hot-blooded creatures, and other than that, no matter how valuable things are, they seem to them to be no different from garbage. This time, there are actually two bloodlines who have come here to collect companion creatures?
Ye Feng squatted beside the corpse of the Blood Clan, staring at the pile of fluffy companion creatures, thinking about it, and couldn't understand what use this thing was for the Blood Clan.
In the previous life, Ye Feng already knew a lot about the blood clan, but in fact, the human race's understanding of the blood clan was still extremely limited. There are no accurate answers to questions such as what kind of life forms are the blood clans, what do they feed on, how to perpetuate the race, and so on, and most of the explanations are guessed and deduced by life experts.
After more contact with the blood clan, Ye Feng knew that the blood clan also had four basic limits, and they would also be tired and afraid. Although they are not highly intelligent, they are undeniably social beings with intelligence and are able to take command.
Prior to the Second Blood War, life scientists generally believed that blood was one of the food of the Bloodline, and it was the favorite food. Of course, there is another theory, there are a very small number of scholars who now have a blood clan that will advance in a short period of time after sucking enough blood.
This perception was not fully confirmed until after the Second Blood War. Obviously, blood is definitely not as simple as food for the blood clan.
"Don't stay, search the neighborhood, I feel the breath of a spatial crack. Huang Hai said.
"Yes, let's find the spatial rift first. Ye Feng reacted at this time, since there is a blood clan here, there must be a spatial crack.
"The groups are scattered, densely formed, searching for nearby areas, and the cracks in the space are reported as soon as possible. Ye Feng said in the Mind Network.
Soon, more than a dozen groups of people searched like a net nearby, all the way down, and after about an hour, they finally found the spatial rift.
The spatial crack with a faint blue light exuded a trace of cold breath, and the temperature around it was obviously a few degrees lower than that of a little farther away. This kind of thing, Ye Feng has seen a lot in his last life, and this spatial crack in front of him is really too small to be small, at most, he can only guard one armored warrior at a time, and even if the armored warrior is too tall, he needs to bend over to barely get through.
Ye Feng had seen the Baichuan Star Cave, which was one of the largest spatial cracks among the four stars in the sky. The current Baichuan Star Cave is a square of about ten meters wide and high, and it can allow about ten blood clans to pass through at the same time.
The first blood-colored riot expanded the Baichuan Star Cave tenfold, with a width of 100 meters, and more than 100 blood clans could be passed at the same time. The second time it was expanded tenfold again. The third was slightly better, and on top of the second bloody riot, it was again about three times larger.
"This is a miniature spatial crack, it doesn't look very stable, and the danger is not high. Huang Hai took a look at it and judged the situation of this spatial rift. He is the guard leader of the collection team, and he has been circling in the blood-colored space all year round, and he has seen too many spatial cracks like this.
"Let's go over and see. Ye Feng said.
"Well, we should go over and take a look, send a few people back, and report the marked location here to the Guardian Legion command post. Huang Hai added.
"Except for a group of power armor warriors guarding here, everyone else will go back, me, Boss Huang, and Brother Yu will just go over. Ye Feng said, what is the situation on the other side of the blood-colored space, it is not clear at the moment, Ye Feng does not dare to take Wu Xiaoqing over.
"No, I'm going to go together, with you and Brother Huang here, can't you protect me?" Wu Xiaoqing said firmly.
"There shouldn't be any problem, a miniature spatial rift like this should be relatively safe on the other side, and even if there are blood clans, the number is extremely limited. "In fact, two bloodlines have been killed here, and the possibility of a bloodline on the other side of the spatial rift is extremely low.
"Okay, let's go together. Now that Boss Huang is sure, Ye Feng no longer insists.
In the previous life, Ye Feng led the 701 Legion and fought on many planets, mainly Baichuan Star, and eight high-risk mineral stars, mainly guarding the periphery of medium and large space rifts to prevent the invasion of the blood clan. As for the blood-colored space, he really hadn't seen it once.
"When you pass through the spatial crack, you have to concentrate your mind, you may have a feeling of dizziness, and even hallucinations, the time will not be too long, and there is no danger to the body. Huang Hai told that the first time the guΓ² spatial crack was opened, due to the difference in the sense of space, there would be all kinds of problems, and usually, the problems would not be too big.
"Understood. Everyone nodded in unison, and the few people present, including Yu Shen and Tang Yuanhua, had no experience of entering the blood-colored space.
