Inside The Black Mist Chapter 1132: Rat trouble
After leaving the safe area of the nest, the road becomes difficult to walk. There are caves and caves everywhere. Moreover, these caves, these acupuncture points, are big and small, wide and narrow.
Sometimes, the search team walked into a cave, which was quite spacious when they first entered. As they walked, the cave began to constrict, and finally the opening was so small that only mice could crawl in.
When encountering such a situation, everyone can only withdraw first, and then use the instrument to find other channels.
The deeper you go into the lair, the more clearly you can feel that the temperature is dropping significantly.
You know, this place is in a desert area, and it is daytime again. When Tianyang and the others first came in, the surface temperature was very high. However, when he came to the ground and went deep into this god's lair, he felt that the temperature was dropping.
When the light came on, Tianyang saw with his own eyes that many rocks in the cave were faintly blue, and the surface was covered with a thin layer of ice.
Fortunately, those who participated in the search operation, the ascendants have superhuman physiques, so they won't be affected by this low temperature. Even ascendants like Alice, who are not good at fighting, can still operate in such an environment.
As for ordinary soldiers, their full-body protective clothing has a constant temperature system, which can automatically adjust body temperature to ensure the safety of soldiers.
After walking for a while, Tianyang gradually heard the sound of water, and felt that the whole terrain was going down. It didn't take long before they came to a natural stone cave the size of a square.
Stalactites can be seen everywhere in the cave, and the ground level is invisible. There is a small underground lake in the middle, and a rock rises in the lake, like a small island in the middle of the lake.
People approached a little closer, and under the illumination of the lights, they saw that the rocks in the lake were covered with a dense layer of insects, and the number was estimated to be eight thousand if not ten thousand.
They seem to be molting their shells. Gray and white worms crawl out of their shells one after another. They gently stretch their new wings, and they seem to be able to fly to the sky soon.
At this moment, a column of water suddenly exploded from the calm lake water, and a looming figure leaped out of the water, and rushed onto the rock in the lake, greedily devouring the newly shelled insects.
Under the light, it can be seen that the thing that is sweeping away the bugs looks like a wolf but has no fur, and the whole body is smooth and even has fish-like scales.
The body shape is one-third larger than that of a wolf, with a particularly large head and a short wolf snout, but it can open its mouth very wide, resembling the mouthparts of a python.
Its front body is extremely thick, and simple and slight movements will arouse the muscles of its forelimbs. The two hind limbs are like reptiles, with thick and webbed feet.
In the mouth of this creature, the teeth are long and messy, the claws are thick, and a cluster of shiny whiskers flutters around the neck.
But what attracts everyone's attention is that on the back of that thing, there are patches of irregular, large and small black and blue bacterial colonies!
Obviously, this is an evil that was parasitized by the fungus of the reverse world, but I don't know if it has been controlled by the fungus. He turned his head and looked at the crowd.
There are several eyes on this thing's head, but at least half of the eyes inside have been occupied by protruding and layered bacteria.
The rest of the eyes were glowing red, with hyphae flying around the corners of the eyes, and it seemed that they were not far away from being completely controlled by the flora.
Hey!
The evil beast roared and turned back into the lake, and the people by the lake retreated quickly. At this moment, the wolf beast jumped out of the water. It roared and opened its mouthparts. , and rushed towards the nearest fighter.
The warrior was suddenly pushed away, and when the wolf beast's mouthparts were closed, the messy sharp teeth in its mouth bit a long sword with rising stars, and then the long sword vibrated violently and swept forward.
Hiss, hiss, the big head of the wolf beast was cut open with a sword, and the long sword was brought out from the side of its body. There was a sudden splash, and the blood, together with the internal organs, were all over the ground.
The thing fell to the ground, nearly half of its body was cut off, but it was still alive, still twitching and trying to get up.
When the light shines on, it can be seen that in the body cavity of this creature, the organs and bones are covered with fungi.
Boom!
A piece of flame fell and sprayed on the body of the creature and the surrounding blood and internal organs, burning everything related to the creature.
"It seems that the reverse world fungus has invaded this area."
Tianyang said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I suggest that the team search. The 'devil brain' is very cunning, and it will hide itself in a safe enough place."
"And this lair is so big, if we act together, I really don't know when we will be able to find the 'devil brain'."
Although people are in charge of the overall situation at the base, Xiao Hanling, who is always paying attention to the search team's movements, immediately said through the device: "Mr. Tianyang's proposal is not unreasonable, just do as he said, and now divide the team."
"Everyone search separately. Once you find anything, contact the headquarters immediately. I will make adjustments in time. Don't act alone, please remember."
Thus, under the adjustment of Xiao Hanling, the search personnel divided into teams, and then left from different directions and different cave passages, continuing to go deep into the lair of evil.
At the same time.
In the Fort of the God of War, Moonlight looked out the window and saw military vehicles on the street in order, coming and going endlessly.
She, Xi Tong and the others have been taken to this military management area by the Fort of the God of War, where they will be under strict protection. Moreover, this area has been completely isolated from the rest of the city in terms of water, energy, and even sewerage systems.
It can be said that this area is the place with the highest safety factor in the War God Castle.
The people who are taken here are basically the family members of the personnel working on the front line, as well as the family members of the fort officials, so that those who are still fighting on the front line have no worries.
Moonlight left the window and turned on the projection screen. There was scrolling information on the screen, announcing the current progress of the infection in the city to the people in the management area.
From the scrolling information, it can be seen that the reaction of Fort God of War is still very fast. After they discovered that the original source of infection was the creatures in the river, they have already cut off the river water, and quickly drained all the river channels in the city, and the river channel Do cleanup.
The other thing is, in order to prevent the rats in the underground waterway from becoming the vector of the adverse bacteria, the Castle of War God has now sent troops into the city's underground waterway system to hunt and kill the rats down there.
"The God of War Castle is quite reliable, I hope this will end soon." Moonlight sat down, with her long sword resting by her feet.
Liu Ya and the others also keep their weapons close at hand, so that if any incident happens, they can respond in time.
Underground waterways.
In the darkness, a mouse sprinted along the base of the wall, about to get into a sewage pipe. Suddenly a gunshot rang out, and the mouse exploded, and then a stream of flames shot out, burning the mouse on the spot, turning it into a mass of charred bones.
Two soldiers in full-body protective clothing came over, one of them was holding a rifle, and the other was carrying a metal box and holding a mighty gun.
That is a flamethrower, which can spray out a high-temperature stream of heat, which can burn a mouse into coke in a few seconds.
The two soldiers continued to move forward, and the one holding the rifle confirmed his position on the tactical board on his wrist from time to time. When they reached the end of the passage, the two looked at each other, and then reported using the communicator: " This is the 7th group of the Viper Squadron, we have completed the hunting work in the responsible area."
"Thank you for your hard work. Please confirm again, and then go to the supply point to rest. There will be new tasks for you later."
After finishing the communication, the soldier with the rifle sighed: "I heard that several people from the 8th team were attacked by parasites when they were maintaining order in the morning, and they are all sent to the observation area. The probability is very high."
"Don't worry, we will definitely survive."
"Didn't we discover the initial source of infection? Now that the rivers have been closed and cleaned up, we only need to clean up the sewers to cut off the transmission chain of those bacteria, and the rest is to deal with the parasites in the city. I don't think it's a big problem." The soldier with the flamethrower said optimistically.
The two soldiers were walking back while talking, when suddenly, they heard a soft noise.
The sound came from the wall on the left, and the two soldiers quickly turned on the lights there, and saw tiny cracks appearing on the wall.
Click, click, the crack gradually widens, and it looks like something is squeezing behind it.
The two soldiers looked at each other, and then the soldier with the rifle contacted the command office: "This is the seventh group of the Viper Squadron. We found something unusual..."
Before he had time to report, he heard a 'squeak', and a black mass squeezed out from the crack in the wall.
It turned out to be a mouse, but it was covered with black and blue fungus, its eyes were white and gray, and its mouth was drooling. It rushed towards the soldiers suddenly.
"Damn it!" The soldier didn't care about reporting any more, and quickly raised his rifle, shooting the mouse three times before killing the mouse.
The colleague next to him quickly sprayed flames, burning the mouse's body and the bacteria on its body.
Just after finishing this work, the two heard the sound of the wall cracking more and more loudly. As if there were thousands of mice behind the wall, the scalps of the two soldiers were numb.
"Group 7 of Viper Squadron, please report your situation, please report your situation." The liaison officer's anxious voice sounded from the communicator, but at this time, the soldier forgot to report.
There was a buzzing in their heads, and then rifles and injectors fired simultaneously, sweeping away the swarm of rats that had emerged from the cracks in the wall.
Suddenly, gunshots and flames billowed from this passageway.
Until this moment, the soldier shouted: "Rats, so many rats! They are all parasitized, they burst the wall, my God, the wall was pushed down by them. They came out, they are too many, we can't Eliminate."
"Ask for help, ask for help!"
