Chapter 139 The Millennium Test·Underground Underground

[The serial numbers of the previous chapters are wrong, but the content is correct.Dizziness and head swelling from working overtime. 】

There is light ahead!

Although it is very faint, it is extremely precious and eye-catching in the present dark world.

Continue to move forward, but the road becomes more and more difficult to walk, the ground becomes wet, and a large number of creatures appear, such as centipedes and crickets.

These things are huge, centipedes can grow to three or four feet in length, and crickets are the size of a rooster.But it is almost non-aggressive to humans.

This shows that although these things have changed, they are far from being mutated.

It feels like transitioning from a mutated world to a normal world.

But the light is also becoming more and more obvious.

Chu Fei was thoughtful: "The mutation here began to decrease significantly, more like the increase in body size caused by a good living environment and abundant energy."

While speaking, Chu Fei noticed a shadow flashing by.After careful identification, it is clear that it is a mutant spider that is hunting.

This mutated spider no longer used the spider web, but ended up directly.

Li Longhua said next to Chu Fei, "This should be the bottom of the food chain.

Also, with so many mutated animals, even if they hunt each other, they still need an initial source of food and energy.

Where do you think this leads? "

Chu Fei thought for a moment, and said according to the feedback of the wind of perception, "It feels like the ground, and we are temporarily underground."

Li Longhua nodded without saying anything, and everyone continued to move forward.

The ground keeps rising, and there is a big step every tens of meters, and it keeps rising like this.

The light became more and more intense, and the surrounding small animals became more and more abundant, while the small mutant animals decreased rapidly.

Everything looks like it's headed for the light.

Twenty minutes later, the crowd traveled almost three kilometers and saw the blue sky and white clouds.

Climbing up the steps, I saw a bright world, but there was no trace of the sun in the beautiful blue sky.

A dense savannah lay ahead.

But the "grass" here is only a few meters high. As for the sparse trees, they pierce into the sky, as if they want to challenge the authority of God.

"The light in the dimensional space is refracted from the sunlight of the main world. There are natural refraction and artificial construction technology. It involves more complicated technology.

But you can simply understand that as long as it is a completed and qualified dimensional space, its sunrise and sunset times are the same as outside. "

Seeing that Chu Fei was in a daze, Li Longhua explained lightly.

Chu Fei thought for a while and asked, "What if it's cloudy outside?"

Li Longhua: ...

Sorry, this is beyond the scope of my knowledge.

General Li looked a little unhappy, and walked forward sullenly.

Chu Fei grabbed Li Longhua, shook his head slightly, and then pointed to the dense weeds in front of him, "The characteristics of the sound waves show that the weeds here have a faint feeling of flesh and blood! And it's too quiet here!"

Li Longhua's face changed, and he threw out a bottle of insecticide without hesitation.

Then I saw the "wild grass" in front of me suddenly twisted.The blades and poles of grass instantly turned into twisted joints, writhing and even whipping indiscriminately.

"Hiss..." Li Longhua gasped.

Chu Fei was also taken aback, couldn't help but took two steps back, and skillfully hid behind Li Longhua.

Li Longhua: ...

Chu Fei's skilled posture left Li Longhua speechless.

Why are you so skilled?
Chu Fei laughed, and finally explained with an awkward smile: "I feel that this place is too quiet. Thinking about the underground world with so many animals, the ground is so prosperous but there are no animals, it makes people suspicious.

Although many insects are scavenging, there are also many that eat grass roots and leaves.

There are no natural enemies of insects such as flying birds, but the vegetation here is so lush that it is doubtful.

Of course, the biggest suspicion is the sonic characteristics detected by my wind of perception. The sonic characteristics of the plants here have a feeling of flesh and blood.

It's just that I didn't expect these plants to have evolved to such an extent. "

Li Longhua pulled out his sharp saber and made a gesture. Suddenly the light of the saber flashed, and then a blade of grass flew up, which was grabbed by Li Longhua.

The "leaf of grass" twisted, a light blue liquid flowed, and a strong grassy smell wafted from it.

Chu Fei sniffed it twice, and frowned slightly: "It seems to smell like mushrooms?"

"It's the smell of fungi!" Li Longhua emphasized, "This grassland here should be a unique life mixed with fungi and plant genes, which can directly convert photosynthesis into the favorite food of bugs.

The experiments in this world are kind of crazy. "

Suddenly, Chu Fei said quietly, "If you are not crazy, how can you study the liquid process of the pupae? I even suspect that this grassland may not be synthetic, but alien life.

Maybe the grassland here is for cultivating alien life, those life with pupa state. "

Li Longhua looked into the distance, suddenly pointed to a towering giant tree, and said leisurely, "Maybe I was right!"

Chu Fei took a look and saw nothing. He immediately took out a small telescope, and immediately saw something on the towering giant tree in the distance.

There are worm bags of "hanged ghosts" hanging there.

The hanged ghost, whose scientific name is an inchworm, is the larva of Li'e... Well, this is normal.

At least the insect bag of the inchworm is not too big.

As for the worm bags right now, Chu Fei simply calculated the data: 3~5 meters!
I don't know if it's a mutated inchworm, or something like alien life.All in all it doesn't look very friendly.

At this time, Li Longhua had already jumped to the top of the passage, looked around, and said, "There is nothing around in the wilderness."

Chu Fei looked around, and wanted to turn around to look for signs in the passage, but found a "research base structure diagram" on the side wall.There is also a permanent responsibility plate next to it.

This is a set of structural diagrams, which are mottled due to age.But you can still tell the difference.

The first is an overall structural diagram, which is an inverted pyramid structure."0 meter layer" is marked on the top.

Above the 0-meter layer is the ground.

Then there are "-20m layer", "-40m layer", "-70m layer", and "-100m layer".

As the depth increases, the area also shrinks.The last fifth layer is the "-150-meter layer", which has a depth gap of 50 meters from the fourth layer.

And on the "-150-meter floor", there are three words written: main control room!
Looking at the structure diagram, Chu Fei fell silent—it seems that I don't need to lead the way.

Chu Fei saw it, and more people saw it too.

Li Longhua jumped down from the top and immediately made a decision when he saw the structure diagram: "There is nothing on the ground, we still need to explore the underground. It seems that the downward stairs we saw just now are correct."

But at this time Qian Shaohua said, "General Li, everyone is a little tired after the frenzied battle before. How about we take a rest first? Right here."

As soon as these words were spoken, many members of the Flying Tigers also nodded their heads and even voiced their approval.

The previous battle time was actually not very long. From entering this space to now here, the total is less than eight hours-not enough for the eight-hour working system.

But the previous battle in the dark also really made everyone feel tired.

Human beings are creatures that sleep in the night.

Just now in the pitch darkness, not only did he not sleep, he also had to fight those mutated creatures that adapted to the darkness.It is impossible to say that you are not tired.

Li Longhua looked around, and finally had to nod, "Well, let's rest here, don't leave this exit.

Although the exit looks ordinary at the moment, there are no animals or plants from the outside coming in, and there may be some insect repellent technology. "

Everyone responded quickly and rested on the spot.

Chu Fei was in good spirits, and the super potion he drank earlier still had some effect, but he took the opportunity to observe the ground world in front of him.

Especially observing the hanged ghost on the towering giant tree in the distance.

Only to find a withered and yellow branch moving.

Wait, that's not a tree branch, that's a mimic praying mantis, and of course a mutated mantis.Chu Fei simply observed and calculated the size: 2.2 meters in length!
The 2.2-meter praying mantis, compared to the 3-5 meter hanged ghost and the three-meter-long inchworm, seems to be a bit of a death-seeking rhythm.

At least the inchworm on the towering giant tree was still gnawing on the leaves leisurely.

However, in the next moment, the mantis jumped out, but Chu Fei didn't see it clearly; he only saw the mantis disappear and reappear in an instant, and an inchworm was cut off by the mantis, leaving only half of its stomach twisted.

The mantis dragged the upper body of the inchworm away quickly, then spread its wings, jumped down from the towering giant tree, and went straight... It came by itself!

Chu Fei was watching the fun at first.

However, seeing the mantis getting bigger and bigger, and calculating the flight curve of the mantis, Chu Fei's face changed, "Get up, get up! There is a mutant mantis coming! The combat power of the mutant mantis is probably higher than that of ordinary beasts! "

Everyone cheered and got up, and Li Longhua immediately followed the direction of Chu Fei's telescope and saw the rushing praying mantis.

But after seeing the mantis, Li Longhua breathed a sigh of relief, "It's a mantis. These things don't usually live in groups. Maybe they can eat some wild game."

As he said that, a yearning look appeared on Li Longhua's face, "I don't know if you have eaten the scythe of the mutated mantis. It tastes really good. Not to mention full of elasticity, it has a pleasant fragrance. It also contains powerful life energy. I do not know how much stronger than any crab claws.

I ate it during the beast tide more than ten years ago.Nowadays, some high-end restaurants with particular attention still accept this.

Calculated by quality, weight, size, etc., the lowest price is several thousand yuan per catty, and the high-end ones can even reach tens of thousands of yuan per catty. "

Chu Fei couldn't help asking, "Doesn't this praying mantis eat people?"

Li Longhua snorted, "Wolf eats people, does the wolf's meat change its taste?"

"..."

Li Longhua pointed to the flying mantis and said, "This mantis must not eat people."

Chu Fei breathed a sigh of relief.That's right, even if this praying mantis wants to eat people right now, he has to be eaten.

Seeing the mantis approaching, Li Longhua bared his teeth and smiled, "The meat flew here by itself. Lie down, I'll prepare some wild game for you."

The mantis approached quickly, the ferocious triangular head became more and more clear, and the two huge eyeballs were like citrine balls.

But just as it was approaching the entrance of the passage, the praying mantis paused for a moment, then raised its figure and flew away.

Chu Fei said leisurely, "The meat flew away."

Li Longhua: ...

Everyone laughed, took a break, took pictures of the structure diagrams and basic floor plans on the wall, and then returned to the ground.

The light gradually moved away, and everyone was quickly swallowed by the darkness.

After walking for a while, someone suddenly asked, "Shall we go back the same way, or take a new way?"

Everyone immediately discussed.Some say to return to the original road, and some say to explore a new road.

In the end, the problem fell to Li Longhua.

Li Longhua thought for a while and asked Chu Fei, "I think it's better to go back the same way. What do you think?"

Chu Fei said: "I also agree to go back the same way. There are three reasons.

First, we are already familiar with it, and we are all aware of the dangers here.

Our biggest disadvantage here is not just the darkness, but the unfamiliarity of the terrain.And backtracking is the best.

Second, there are arrows indicating the emergency passage when returning to the original road, so it is not easy to get lost.

Although there is a road map now, if you really enter a dark world, you may be "not knowing the true face of Lushan Mountain, just because you are in this mountain".

Third, although the way of origin is dangerous, the brain beast that threatens the most has already been killed.If we just pass by and don't take the initiative to attack, it shouldn't be a big problem. "

Li Longhua nodded slightly, "Okay, go back the way you came."

Returning the same way this time, there was no danger.

When passing by the nest of mutant brain beasts, many mutant brain beasts stood in front of the nest, roaring in low voices.

But when they saw that everyone was just passing by, these clever mutated brain beasts didn't move, and everyone lived in peace.

The team went all the way back to the location where the underground entrance was found. Someone opened the wristband to release the picture comparison, and the light was adjusted to the lowest level.

Li Longhua made a decision, "Let's go from here. Chu Fei, check the situation inside."

Because we have suffered a lot, we don’t dare to turn on the lights indiscriminately now that we have nothing to do.

Chu Fei didn't say anything, and the wind of perception was fully launched, using ultrasonic, infrasonic, and ordinary sound waves to sweep the area of ​​more than 300 meters around the entrance.

As for the turning and so on, there is no problem for the wind of perception, just add a few change data when calculating.

Chu Fei found a faint spider nest inside!

This spider den is about 170 meters from the entrance.Because the distance is a bit far, the detection is not very clear.

As Chu Fei told Li Longhua and others, the limit of his perception range was only 50 meters.

Chu Fei rolled his eyes and found a solution.

I'm sorry, I was originally a young man who was captured by you. I came out to mess around, and I have to pay it back sooner or later!

Of course, Chu Fei didn't expect to trap people to death. If everyone died, he wouldn't be able to survive.So, just make everyone tired.

At this moment, Chu Fei has gradually developed a mature way of deceiving people.

No, it's not cheating, I just want to collect a little interest and get my own benefits, that's all.

This is the end of the world, and people will not be punished for themselves!

Why did Li Longhua forcefully conscript himself? Isn't it for their own sake, and they didn't care about my thoughts!

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Chu Fei spoke slowly.
