Chapter 719: Underground Base
[Thank you Brother Xiang for your monthly support!]
Zero threw the worm spears one by one at a constant speed of three per second, and the short spears pulled out the remnants of the Dao Dao in the air, and the breaking air flow formed a strange whistling sound. In a roar, the short spear continued to hit the strange insects hanging above the cavern. Only five seconds passed from the time the spear fell from the first monster worm to the time Zuihou threw a spear. In a short period of time, more than a dozen strange insects responded to the spear, but when Zuihou shot out, the strange insect closest to zero had already woken up.
Faster than the worm spear, it let go of its tentacles biting the roof of the cave and fell to the ground like a large spider. The worm spear was shot at a stalagmite at the bottom of the cave, and the stalagmite was pierced deep by the short spear like cooked cheese, which showed how big the liliang of the zero spear was. The monster swept over the corpse of its fallen companion and let out an angry scream from its chamber, its limbs sliding as if they were sliding across the water, and quickly struck Zero.
The ground in the cave is rugged, but the strange insects seem to be unrestricted, and the eight arthropods can be stretched freely, making the strange insects walk on the ground. Zero was in a hurry, waiting for the strange insect to approach and bite him. He moved sideways like a ghost, and then unfolded the anti-gravity field, and the whole person violated the laws of physics and rose vertically into the air, avoiding the onslaught of several tentacles of the strange insects.
A turning trajectory swept out of the air, falling behind the strange insect, and one leg swept out like a whip. The feet swept several afterimages through the air, and finally converged in one place, forming a cone-shaped ripple that blasted into the body of the strange insect. The whole body of the strange insect shrank and let out a terrible cry, but the cone-shaped ripples of Zero's kick burst out of its mouth, and where the ripples passed, the tissues of the strange insect were twisted into a piece of flesh.
Zero hit the hand and immediately flashed back. When the monster worm was dying, it frantically attacked everything it could see. It wasn't until a dozen seconds later that it gradually stopped moving, and the insect fluid poured out of the penetrating wound in its body to the ground.
Fifteen bugs died in one place, making the whole cave seem crowded. Zero pulls a short spear from one of the insect corpses and uses it as a tool to pry open the hard shells of each bug's head, and then pluck the worm crystal out of their brain. A moment later, Zero had collected fourteen worm crystals of various sizes. And Zuihou is a bug, and Zero's blow penetrates its body, which can shatter the insect crystal, but it can't be recovered.
On the original two, there are a total of sixteen insect crystals, each of which is 100,000 gold coins, and this small bag contains 1.6 million, which is not a small amount, and it is already equivalent to the economic benefits generated by the full work of the Canon Fortress and the three towns of Tucson for a month. Now, Zero is hoping for more of these bugs. However, the total size of the cave is so large, you can see at a glance whether there are strange insects or not.
Zero walked deeper into the cave, and the further he went, the walls on both sides of the mountain closed so that there was only one path left, only enough for one person to walk through. It's no longer possible for strange insects to get here, but on this path, Zero saw pieces of insect skins, thinking that those strange insects have also evolved several degrees, and these insect skins are the proof of their evolution.
Soon at the end, the wall was covered with glowing moss, and at this depth, the temperature of the air increased significantly, and the rocks and mountain walls were covered with water droplets. Originally, Zero thought that there should be something like a cave at the end of this place, otherwise these strange insects would never have been born out of thin air. With a cave, it may be possible to reach the surface, but he didn't realize that there was still a cliff at the end.
He didn't give up, reaching out and groping for the moss, and soon he noticed something unusual about the wall. It was too flat, and there were no bumps under the moss, and it didn't feel like a natural stone wall. Zero simply tore off the moss, and a moment later, a metal gate appeared in front of Zero's eyes. Behind these mosses, there is actually a door, and there is even an electronic lock on the right-hand side, which is almost like an underground base!
Zero checks the electronic lock and sees that there is still a little green light on it, apparently the base power is still working. If there is a base, then there must be a passage to the outside world. But then you have to enter the base to say, zero flex fingers flicked on the metal gate, and a mlush sound sounded in the door, obviously this gate is very heavy, and it is not easy to be forcibly destroyed by external forces.
To enter the base, it seems that you have to start with the electronic lock, but you don't know the code to open the door. He turned in and tried to give the memory group the substance to generate the cracked electronic code. Even he didn't know if this method would work, after all, there was a big difference between one side being electronic technology and the other being living beings. But Zero's command still caused a reaction from the memory group, and soon, Zero saw a short, sharp bone spur sticking out of the middle of his right fist, and the bone spur was surrounded by pocket hedron of various colors, which constantly shimmered. With each flickering of light, Zero could feel that it contained several kinds of detection wave energy.
Zero pointed the bone spur on the electronic lock, and the end of the spike immediately softened, and melted like mercury and burrowed through the gap in the electronic lock. Soon, Zero's brain receives a random string of numbers. The numbers kept beating and were quickly parsed by the probe energy of the bone spurs, and the Zuihou numbers gradually stopped, and when they were determined, Zero was given a set of passwords.
He retracted the bone spur, which automatically retracted into Zero's fist as it exited the electronic lock. The password obtained from the pocket is entered into the electronic lock, and the LCD screen of the electronic lock immediately displays the words that the password is correct. The gate shook, and the moss that had not yet been torn off fell off as the gate shrank up. Eventually, a dark space appeared in front of Zero's body.
Zero walked in, and after a brief adjustment to his eyes, he could see that it was a hallway. The corridors were so deep that they didn't know where they led. At this time, the gate behind him fell again, and separated the two shijie inside and outside. When I arrived at the base, I realized that it was not really dark. It's just that the main power supply of the base should have stopped working, so the lighting equipment is useless. But every ten meters, a red emergency light is flashing, which is proof that the base's backup power is working.
It's just that the backup power supply of the base should only be used in a certain important area, and ensure that the passages in the base can be opened normally. Zero was able to see the environment of the base with the help of the faint light vision. On the right-hand side of the entrance, he saw a floor plan of the base, and from the plan, he was located near the biochemical experiment area, and from the production area of the biochemical experiment area, he could reach the living quarters of the base by walking through the corridor to the east. In the living quarters, there are clearly several elevator signs, which are supposed to be exits to the outside world. I'm afraid that these elevators have stopped working, but since there are exits here, there should be emergency passages or something.
In short, leaving this underground shijie is still quite promising.
Zero reproduced the floor plan in his mind, and as instructed on the map, he should walk to the corridor on the left. There is a herbarium and outside the specimen room is the experimental area. When you enter the experimental area, you will not be far from the exit. As he walked, he wondered who had built the underground base and when it had been put into use.
Theoretically, there is no doubt that only the city of Rome has the strength to build an underground base. However, the city of Rome is obviously focused on the mecha jishu, but this underground base is obviously built for the development of biochemical jishu. If there is no accident, the strange insects outside the base, and even the giant rats that are used as food by the strange insects are the finished products of biochemical jishu.
But this base has obviously been abandoned, but I don't know what the reason is?
It didn't take long for Zero to reach the end of the hallway. There is still a metal door with an electronic lock next to it. Zero repeats his old trick and uses bone spurs to decipher the code on the electronic lock and opens the door. As soon as the door opened, a terrible smell poured out. The smell was a bit like rotten eggs, but more of a thing, it was the smell of a decomposing corpse.
It can be seen that the specimen room has not been opened for a long time, and the air filtration equipment inside has stopped working, which makes it difficult to dissipate the odor. Zero had to hold his breath, and when he looked through the door, he could see specimen vessels containing mutant creatures of various shapes. A lot of them are unknown to Zero, and they are more like some kind of alien form. Judging by their physical characteristics, these xenomorphs are undoubtedly the best creature hunters.
Some of the utensils were knocked to the ground, and the freshness liquid inside had long since been lost, leaving only a strange corpse. Among these corpses, Zero also saw several skeletons, wearing the uniforms of the research laboratory personnel, who were supposed to be unlucky people who were trapped here and eventually died because they didn't have time to evacuate when the base changed.
Zero found an electronic ID card in the jacket pocket of one of the skeletons, with the words "Dr. Andullah" written on it. He put the electronic card away, and with this electronic card, he should be able to travel all over the base.
Suddenly, Zero caught a faint soft sound in his ears. Replaying the sound in his head, Zero automatically created a picture of a pair of feet stepping on the ground.
Someone's coming!
It's just that this base has been under its hands for so long, and God knows if the guys who are still alive in the base can still be called human? Zero quickly dodged to a row of haode specimen vessels, and then saw several figures walking in at another exit in the herbarium. These people's bodies have been alienated, their skin is covered with scale-like cuticles, their hands and feet are twisted and deformed to varying degrees, and some of them are simply a pair of animal claws.
The head still maintains the appearance of a human, but both men and women are bareheaded, but the eyes are gray and white, which looks very strange. After they entered, under the command of a particularly strong man, these people broke some of the specimen vessels near Zero, and then took out the specimens of the alien beast inside. Some even put the specimen under their nose and sniffed it, and it seemed that they had the idea of treating the specimen as food.
Zero is sure that such a specimen will not taste so good. But for these people, the specimens in the utensils seem to be their only food in the base, who are they? are they the researchers of the original base, or are they some kind of biochemical jishu products like the strange insects outside?
