Chapter 231: Sea of Worms (Part II)
It was unusually quiet in the dark, and the safe passage seemed to be shrouded in a layer of black fog, and even if you look at the infrared vision mode in the helmets of a few people, the visibility is no more than ten meters. *Several people in the helmet could only hear their own breathing, and the atmosphere was so depressing that it made people crazy. Darkness is like a prison, you can't see anything outside the prison, you only know that no matter how far you go, you still can't get out of this prison.
If it weren't for the fact that several of them were people with excellent psychological quality, ordinary people would have gone crazy on this road that seemed to have no heart.
Compared to a few people, Eva's expression is much more relaxed. If it weren't for the fact that this woman was carrying a black sword, she would have looked as leisurely as she was walking. It's just that at this time, if someone looks closely at Eva's eyes, they can see that her pupils are constantly switching between various faces, which shows that Eva has no less visual modes than zero, and their tactical helmets have more functions.
Switching between these different pupils is able to capture all traces of energy activity in the safe passage to construct a diorama. At first, Eva's stereoscopic modeling was a vague outline, but it became clear as more and more data was populated into the model. The difference is that the Twins' computing power is based on the help provided by the brain, while Eva relies on the intelligence center of her own brain to calculate.
If Eva's modeling head at this time is regarded as an intelligent brain, then Eva under full computing is equivalent to a comet-level intelligent brain at this time, capable of huge data calculations.
Soon, the diorama took shape in Eva's eyes and began to simulate a certain time in the safe passage following the flow of energy.
Through this diorama, Eva saw a large number of sickle insects entering the base on the second floor of the ground floor from the middle of the safe passage. They seem to have gone through a terrible battle, and many bugs have suffered various degrees of damage to their bodies. But they succeeded in bringing back some food.
Living corpses!
More than a hundred living corpses were scurryed around for the Scythe Corpses, and their scythe feet passed through their bodies and brought back to safety like skewers. * But these big bugs didn't eat the living corpses, and there was a smaller green whirlwind in the passage. These sickle worm evolution bugs use their scalpel-like forelimbs to slice open the chest of a living corpse, and then lie on the body like a parasite, following the rhythmic contraction of the body, as if sucking something.
When the green whirlwind finished sucking, all of them had their bodies swollen. These fat bugs dropped their living corpses and flew back to the third floor of the base. And the corpses of the living corpses are eaten by the sickle worms.
This is a scenario deduced by the diorama based on the energy changes in the channel, and although there will be some discrepancies with the facts, Eva is sure that the error rate is no more than five percentage points, which means that it is not far from the truth. The scenes of the Green Whirlwind sucking living corpses made the woman wonder if she had lived in the underground base for two years and had captured other bug monsters as research things, but she had never seen the Green Whirlwind behave like this.
Green Whirlwinds, evolved from sickle bugs, eat the brains of living beings. These insects have a round mouthpart, and when they eat, they will nail their prey with their sharp limbs, and then open their mouthparts wide, use the broken teeth in the mouthparts to make a hole in the prey's head, and then suck the brain paddle in the prey's head into the mouth and swallow it.
But now the green whirlwind in the diorama is clearly not eating. It's more like sucking something from a living corpse and leaving as a transporter. It's just that from the diorama I don't know where the Green Whirlwind will send the "goods"?
A faint trace of uneasiness passed through Eva's heart, and soon this emotion was captured. After analyzing it into various data, and then combing and analyzing it, Eva came to the conclusion that her uneasiness came from the quietly changing three-layer base. Judging from the anomaly of the Green Whirlwind, I'm afraid that the bugs in the third-layer base are no longer the ones she was familiar with before.
Could it be another evolution?
Eva thought silently and gestured to Zero. She does not have a tactical helmet and is unable to communicate with a few people through the communication channels in the helmet, so she can only communicate through simple gestures. Just look for novel material)
But several people could see the seriousness of Eva's face, and knew that she must have discovered something, and everyone immediately paid attention to it.
As she walked down the first step of the staircase in sight, Eva suddenly raised her hand and made a stop gesture. A few people immediately stopped, the fire door at the exit was wide open, and the two rippers who had been spies were gone.
Although these two Rippers are high-level living corpses, they will not act on their own orders under the orders of the Twins. What's more, there was a large pile of dark red blood by the door, and a trail of blood dragged out of the ground, judging by the tearers, it looked more like they were being dragged away by something.
The twins showed a slight uneasiness, and the ordinary living corpses were no longer as quiet as before, and even the butchers gasped for breath, clutching their weapons in their hands.
"Open the way. Eva said indifferently, commanding the twins as if she couldn't see a vision at the door.
The twins immediately tapped the hands of a dozen living corpses and roared at them. Although the living corpse who was named was unwilling, under the power of the twins, he could only stand up obediently, and then put on a posture that could be shed at any time and walked out of the door.
These living corpses were all soldiers of the base during their lifetimes, and they retained a certain pre-mortem instinct after being transformed into living corpses. Although they cannot judge the situation on their own, they can also block the enemy with their weapons under the orders of the twins.
After watching the hands of the living corpses being flooded by the darkness outside the door, Eva walked first, and the few people were not to be left behind, and the army of living corpses led by the twins walked out of the fire door. Outside the fire door is a deep passage that, according to the digital map, leads to a rest area on the third floor of the base. There are various passages that lead to every corner of the base.
From the third floor of the base is the research department of various weapons and biochemistry. Information from a few individuals indicates that the base had been in operation for half a century prior to the cataclysm. Therefore, it is difficult to say that there are no dangerous weapons or biological weapons below the three-story base. But it's more likely to be radiant shè and biological genetic samples, which are the main sources of mutant organisms in the base.
Although the underground base did not suffer the blow of destruction after the cataclysm, the shock caused by the impact of the meteorite damaged some instruments, including the culture tank and various utensils. The appearance of the radiant shè caused the death of a large number of creatures in the base. But the life that survived in this environment has quietly changed at the genetic level, so there are bug monsters such as sickle bugs, human-faced moths, and goddesses of revenge.
Zero and his party walked along the passage to the gate of the rest area, and the blood stains continued along the way, and they sank more directly into the gate of the rest area. Several nodded and flashed their weapons at the same time. Eva held the hilt of the heavy sword in her hand, and with a gesture ready to show her sword, she followed her long leg and landed at the door.
The liliang of this foot was nearly a ton, and the heavy impact force made the bolt of the door shattered, and the whole door made of alloy fell to the shijie inside the door with a roar.
A loud bang echoed throughout the base. The crowd rushed into the rest area under the cover of the living corpses. This area is nearly 1,000 square meters wide, like a square. There are various smoking areas in the area, as well as a café, bakery, restaurant and even a cinema. It is conceivable that in the old days, the base personnel were the only place they could spend their time after work.
It's just that now it's not only abandoned, but there are also some human corpses scattered in the square, but it is impossible to tell whether they are the former base personnel or the living corpses dragged into the base by the sickle worm.
The blood stains left by the Rippers extended under a lamppost outside a dining room. The two Rippers had been reduced to a pile of mutilated corpses, at least half of which were missing, and it was unknown which monster's rations. The team moved to the lamppost, and Eva crouched down to find that the Ripper was now torn to shreds by something else.
Judging from the traces of the flat incision, it should be the work of the Green Whirlwind. This insect is much smaller than the sickle insect, but the sharp blades of its feet and limbs are even better, and even if the alloy armor is covered by the green whirlwind, everything will be split in half evenly.
Suddenly, the twins let out a whistling sound. Eva immediately stood up and looked in the direction of the left side of the restaurant. A few people also looked over, only to see a bug shaped like a hunting dog flying out of the shop window. It flapped its back and its four wings humming, but it hovered in mid-air like a bee. The worm opened its round mouthparts, its belly bulged and contracted, and something round fell out of its mouth.
When everyone looked closely, it was the head of one of the tearers.
When the crowd found it, the bugs also found them. The crimson insect eyes flashed with greedy light, and the insect immediately flew towards everyone at high speed.
"Beware of the green whirlwind!"
Eva shouted, and almost at the same time, the twins had ordered the living corpse to greet the insect that was coming at everyone. Almost all the living corpses in the legion opened fire together, the roaring gunfire rang out, the tongues of fire jumping from the muzzles of the base were still clearly visible hundreds of meters away, and the torrent of metal composed of nearly fifty machine guns could not be resisted even by the hard shell of the green whirlwind.
At first, the bullet only left a faint white mark on the outside of its shell. But the impact of hundreds of striking bullets in a second finally broke through the worm's defenses and sank into its body. So the green whirlwind flew halfway, but it was already a hornet's nest by the machine gun, and it fell to the ground and fluttered twice. As he stood up, a butcher came out of the crowd and smashed the front half of the green whirlwind's body to pieces with a hammer that was crudely welded by a large iron top. When the moths spilled from under the hammer, the butcher raised his hammer and roared.
But a few people didn't have time to be happy when they heard countless "rustling" sounds, like something grazing the ground. A moment later, countless spots of crimson light appeared in the darkness of the resting area. Zero could see in his helmet only to see a praying mantis the size of a small car, as if magnified hundreds of times, appearing in various corners of the rest area.
There are so many of them that the dense figure looks like a sea of bugs!
