Chapter 240: Sneak Attack (3rd Update)
The journey to the three-story underground base was smooth, with no ambushes or traps on the way. Just look for the material for the novel) There is nothing but insect droppings all over the passages.
From the exit to the rest area, everyone walked in the quiet and dark base. Everyone's tactical helmet has night vision mode turned on, but the viewing range is limited. From the helmet, it seems that there is no limit to the darkness ahead, and you can go all the way to hell.
They didn't speak, and although the communication channel was working, everyone could only hear the faint breathing of the other team members coming from the channel. Then mix with your own heavy breathing to form a wonderful ensemble. It's just that this ensemble is not pleasant, but makes people feel heavy. Just as the members of the Pioneer Team were under tremendous pressure from the boundless darkness, Anthony suddenly raised his left hand to signal the team to stop.
When the team stopped, the invisible pressure suddenly disappeared like shattered glass.
Anthony's eyes fell on the messy dining room, and the metal cabinets blocked in the doorway looked like makeshift fortifications, and the countless bullet casings on the ground directly indicated that there had been a fierce battle here. Judging from the slender cracks, it should be the work of the sickle insects, but there are many and messy cuts on the exterior wall of the store, and at least a hundred or even more sickle insects can attack together to achieve this effect.
Outside the restaurant, there were mostly sickle worms and green whirlwind corpses, but there were some living corpses among them. This made Anthony look full of doubts, and it was strange enough that the living corpses on the second floor would appear in the third layer of the base. Oddly enough, they also seem to be at odds with the Scythe, and Anthony doesn't think the Living Corpse is smart enough to build fortifications for himself.
It all looks like it's been commanded by man. But there was no corpse of Team Zero in the cafeteria, much to Anthony's slight disappointment.
He gestured, and the group moved on.
"It's strange that there shouldn't be so many active sickle insects at this time, not to mention that there is a jīng monster like Green Whirlwind in it. Luca reminded Anthony all the way.
A moment later, Anthony's voice rang out in the communication channel: "It's okay Zero, they seem to have attracted us with a lot of bugs. Look, sometimes it's not a good thing to go fast. ”
His tone was light, but Luca could tell that Anthony wasn't upset because there were no corpses of Zero in the cafeteria. The absence of a body means that Zero is not dead now. In other words, their own team is still behind them after all.
Leaving the rest area, the Pioneer team entered the creature area through a long walkway. But this place has been entrenched by sickle insects and turned into their nests. Viscous insect fluid flowed all over the ground, and countless broken insect cysts appeared in front of the team and to the left and right. It was filled with a fishy smell, a unique smell left in the air by sickle larvae as they burst out of their shells.
The Pioneer Team had a solemn face, after all, judging from the number of these shells, at least a few thousand larvae had been successfully born. The insect fluid that flowed from the broken insect sac was still in a liquid state, and it was judging from the fact that the insects had just been born. Newborn larvae are in the starvation stage, and they want to gnaw whenever they see a living thing. Just think of thousands of larvae surging and gnawing at a creature to death, and that's enough to make even the bravest of people tingle.
Oram was one of them, and the tower-like man only felt a pang of discomfort in his stomach, and he felt like he was going to retch. Fortunately, he immediately controlled his Adam's apple and swallowed back what was rising from his stomach. It's better to be disgusting than to be laughed at by others.
The others were not happy to walk in these disgusting insect fluids, and even Anthony, who had always been calm, was breathing a little faster. In this harsh environment, Anthony has been turning on area scanning. The area scan is centered on Anthony, a circle with a diameter of about 500 meters, and within the scope of his ability, all objects are presented in the form of dioramas in Anthony's consciousness, and rotate from time to time to list possible dangers to him. If someone sneaks up, then Anthony will make the other person go from sneak attack to being sneak attacked.
But area scanning is not without its drawbacks, on the contrary, its disadvantages are obvious. Although it is a three-dimensional scan with jīng divine fluctuations within the scope of its ability, the height of the scan is limited, and even if Anthony uses it with all his might, it is only less than ten meters. This is not a problem in many cases, the problem is that now the space height of the base is more than ten meters. Therefore, when a drop of viscous liquid dropped on the shoulder of Sniper Betsy, the Nightgod Tactical Suit, which was able to defend against most physical shocks, was turned into a faint white mark by this inconspicuous drop of liquid.
Betsy suddenly felt a slight burning sensation in his shoulder, and he looked over his shoulder, only to see a wisp of green smoke floating. He was startled and quickly tapped his shoulder with his hand, just as more liquid fell from a great height and dripped on Betsy's hand.
These liquids undoubtedly have strong corrosion, but after being dripped two or three times, the resin material of the tactical suit directly melts, and the skin under the tactical suit immediately cracks, red and swollen as if it has been burned by a high-temperature flame.
Betsy's shouting attracted everyone's attention, and Anthony, who was walking at the front of the group, turned around just in time to see more liquid dripping from the darkness above, causing Betsy's whole body to continue to emit green smoke from the melting materials of the tactical suit.
Anthony's face changed and he suddenly roared in the communication channel: "Face! Attack the ceiling is the scythe insect larvae!"
As he spoke, Oram raised his heavy cannon with one hand and pulled the trigger in a rage. The next moment, the heavy machine cannon roared and opened fire, and the tongue of fire erupted more than a meter. Bullets rained down into the air, and the ceiling of the base was crawling with sickle insect larvae in the light of the firelight. They occupy every corner of the ceiling so densely that Oram tore a dozen larvae to shreds with a casual sweep.
The larvae exploded and died, and fragments of the worm's body kept falling from the ceiling. But at the same time, countless larvae also fell. They screamed, letting go of their limbs gripping the ceiling. Suddenly, the biological culture area felt like a rain of insects!
Betsy struck a jīng quasi-shè blow and blew a larva with its head and body. However, the sniper rifle's single-shot limit, and Gabezzi didn't have the ability to hit as many times as zero, so much so that while killing one larva, more than a dozen of them landed on him. Betsy frantically slapped the bugs with her sniper rifle, knocking off the heads of two larvae with the barrel of the gun, but more bugs tore through Betsy's flesh with their claws and fangs.
Zuihou's out-of-control Betsy shoots indiscriminately. After three shots in a row, he fell silently. Through the gaps of the worms, you can see that half of his head has been gnawed away by the worms, and the other larvae are trying to tear open his stomach and attack the delicious flesh and intestines in his abdomen.
"!" Oram roared, and the heavy cannon swept towards Betsy's body, instantly siewing the corpse into a sieve, along with a dozen larvae that were lying on their stomachs and gnawing on their faces.
Lukka and Gayle used one-handed swords and warhammers to protect Anthony on both sides, slashing and killing the insect. As for Anthony, he was not idle. He first closed his eyes and opened them suddenly, and when his pupils were deep in the depths of his pupils, there was a flame of silver sè.
In an instant, an invisible jīng divine fluctuation swept away in a fan shape. Within two hundred meters of the jīng divine fluctuation, the heads of the hundred larvae instantly turned into a thin paste. They still charged, but when they came to the vicinity of the group, they swooped down. The insects that were affected by the impact of the god Jīng within 200 meters to 500 meters suddenly withered and fell to the ground, and suddenly couldn't get up.
After releasing a powerful jīng divine impact with all his strength, Anthony, who was overloaded with his ability, spewed out two blood mist directly from his nostrils. But he didn't care so much and yelled directly on the communication channel: "Run!"
They couldn't care less about Betsy's corpse, and the Pioneer Team of Pioneers who had blasted out with Anthony's jīng god ran from the depths of the cultivation area. In the process, they passed by a strange pile of corpses. It was seven butchers, these giant-like tall living corpses were nearly mutilated, but their massive weapons were stained with worm blood. As for the corpses, there are hundreds of adult sickle worms to bury them!
Seeing these butchers, Anthony's doubts in his heart were even greater.
The wilderness is in the snow where Valkyrie faced off against two Parkland killers. One after another, the black sè current was wandering on the ground, constantly wandering, splitting, and the activity of the dark elemental fission in this area gradually stopped.
A pair of strange pupils with red concentric circles in the darkness are watching the changes in the earth's energy, and the owner of the pupils has short hair stained with mud. The blonde hair, which had symbolized aristocratic status, was now dull. Sauron, who had been transformed into a Discord, was lying on his stomach in the snow, ignoring the intense snowdrift that wrapped around him.
He came down to the subconscious sequence of the order to kill Zero, and with the slightest invisible connection to Zero, Sauron bypassed the Julian Mountains. But he was forced to stop when he was already quite close to zero.
The reason is that the space in front of him with energy disorder within a kilometer square would have known that it was caused by the explosion caused by the fission of a certain line of elements, if Sauron was still alive. But now that he was dead, he didn't know that it was the power of the spontaneous combustion of the elements, but instinctively knew that whether it was a person or any other creature that formed this area, it was undoubtedly a danger to him.
Sauron struggled fiercely with the commands and instincts of his conscious mind. Zuihou commands overwhelm instinct. Just as Sauron was about to venture through the snow, the ground shook slightly.
In the distance, a figure gradually appeared in the wind and snow. Someone rushed in this direction, and every time this person landed, the ground shook. After feeling the incomparably huge liliang in the vibration, Sauron's instinct instantly took over. He grinded his teeth and let out an unwilling low growl, but turned away and disappeared into the vast snowstorm!
