Chapter 178 Machine Wreckage
The yellowish light of the torch flickered, illuminating the scenery inside the cave.

As soon as he stepped into the cave, Lin Guiyao felt something was wrong.

Under the soft and rotten sludge, the ground was strangely hard. When I pushed aside the smelly sludge with my feet, it turned out to be a ground similar to a concrete road.

"This……"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Lin Guiyao raised the torch high, only to realize that

Not only the ground, but also the sides and the top of the head are all flat concrete surfaces!
"Man-made?! Could it be that these green steel crabs were raised by someone?"

Lin Guiyao thought for a moment, looked back at everyone, saw everyone nodded to him, and then continued to move forward.

At this point, if these crabs were really raised by someone, then he had to find out.

After all, Hope City is his base, and such unknown enemies cannot exist inside. What if the next time this cave comes out is not a crab, but a fully armed enemy?
He must eliminate this possibility, at least, he must know who the other party is.

There is no end to this square cement passage, seven or eight meters high and five or six meters wide, with some sewage dripping from the top from time to time, drenching everyone all over, but now, everyone has no mood to hide.

Instead, he walked lightly and explored forward without saying a word.

"There is something!" Zhao Ziyue suddenly whispered softly, and Lin Guiyao naturally saw the direction she was pointing.

I saw that the mud not far ahead was constantly stirring, as if hundreds of hungry ghosts were about to break free from it.

When everyone saw this, they were about to retreat, but they saw that the stirring silt suddenly boiled and burst open. Then hundreds of fist-sized blue and white figures jumped into the air, then fell back to the ground, and then jumped up again. , fall again...

The sound of mud falling could be heard endlessly, Lin Guiyao took a closer look and exclaimed:

"shrimp?"

The group of monsters jumping high were all creatures that looked like shrimps. They kept jumping, and some of them jumped so high that they hit the top directly. Their jumping ability was amazing.

Lin Guiyao observed carefully again and found that those strange shrimps were just eating.Their goal is the moss growing on the top, which can only be eaten by jumping high.

Seeing that when they collided, some scale powder would fall from their bodies from time to time, which was very similar to the powder at the entrance. Xiao Hong took a look from a distance and said to Lin Guiyao:
"It's white phosphorus. It's black due to oxidation. I suspect that the sewage contains a lot of white phosphorus! Be careful, everyone, even in such a humid environment, as long as it exceeds [-] degrees, it can still cause an explosion!"

As soon as Xiao Hong's words came out, everyone's expressions were a little ugly.

This means that thermal weapons are useless in this environment.

"Then how do we get there? The road is blocked by these shrimps!" Xu Shilang frowned.

"The bullet won't explode when it hits the water, but it's definitely a deflagration bomb when it hits those shrimps. It seems that if we want to get there, we have to rely on our bodies." Xiao Hong sighed, close combat is not what she wants. long.

"Don't worry! These shrimps only eat plants. Let's go straight there. Follow me." Lin Guiyao said suddenly, blew out the torch, put it in his backpack, and confidently walked towards the group of shrimps.

After reading the system introduction, he has already obtained the information of these shrimps.

【Taiping Krill】Shrimp with amazing productivity, completely herbivorous, loves the shade and is afraid of light, and will spontaneously ignite in the sun after leaving the water.There are a lot of phosphorus flakes scattered on the body surface, which are highly toxic, flammable and explosive, and can make everyone who wants to eat it smile directly. However, after taking out the shell, the shrimp meat inside is very tender and has extremely high protein.

Herbivore means eating plants and not meat.Moreover, Xia Zi's attack method is very passive, as long as he and the others don't use firearms rashly, there is no danger at all.

Sure enough, although the shrimps were still bouncing around, when Lin Guiyao passed by, none of them attacked him, instead they rattled and sneezed all the time.

This is because it is allergic to the toxins in the shrimp.

Seeing that Lin Guiyao passed through the swarm of shrimps safely, everyone felt relieved and passed through one after another.

Lin Guiyao took out a small cage, took advantage of this time to hold five or six shrimps in mid-air, and then put them on the ground before continuing to lead everyone forward.

When he comes back, he can bring these shrimps back to the village to see if Ye Sanyu can get rid of the toxins of Taiping krill, so that he can get some shrimp meat to eat.

After crossing the small episode of the swarm of shrimps, everyone continued to walk for a long distance, and even burned out a torch.

"Hey, village head, how long do you think this passage is? We have been walking for four hours, why haven't we reached the end yet?"

Chen Elong was a little impatient, the shoes he wore were a bit tangled, and he had to scrape the mud on the soles of his feet every ten steps, or he would have to pull out two pieces of dirt that were stuck to five or six catties to move forward.

"It should be soon. Half an hour ago, I noticed that the flame on the torch was shaking more and more. It should be due to the wind." Lin Guiyao said.

Everyone looked up and saw the flame tilting its head, pointing forward and swaying.

During the period, everyone also encountered a group of carp paralyzed on the mud and swallowing sewage. There were tens of thousands of them, and each one was as big as an adult man's calf.

It's just that most of the carp shoals are mutilated, their stomachs have been bitten off, their internal organs have all disappeared, and the air is filled with a strong smell of blood and fish.

However, carp are indeed creatures with tenacious vitality. Even so, they are still lingering on, and not many of them have died.

Lin Guiyao couldn't distinguish between male and female fish, so he had to pick up more than 30 whole carps and bury them in a piece of mud, hoping to make them survive until they return.

After all, these carp are also edible...

After washing, of course.

After walking for another hour, the torch in Lin Guiyao's hand burned out again and went out, but Lin Guiyao no longer needed to light a new torch.

Because at the top of the passage, there are actually a few electric lights on!

Although the brightness was only about one watt, and the thick algae covered it tightly, the faint light was enough to illuminate Lin Guiyao's shocked face.

"Village Chief, look there is something there!"

But the electric light wasn't the only scare, and soon, they discovered something new and counterintuitive:

Half a robot wreck!
I saw a rusty metal object half lying on the side of the passage. From a distance, I thought it was a corpse, but when I looked closer, the corpse was a corpse, but it was not human, but half a robot.

"What the hell is this place, and what is this thing!"

Lin Guiyao frowned. He felt more and more that this passage was not simple.
