One Piece: Me, the Fourth Person

The experimental building is several hundred meters wide, and its length is unknown, but it is very long anyway. People who have not seen the design drawings cannot deduce how many kilometers it is if they walk in without seeing the design drawings.

Lu Xuan first came in and led the special forces members to fight the monsters for about a kilometer. From where he ran to meet Bai Mo and the other two, it took about a kilometer and a half, which added up to almost three kilometers.

The three of them started to work together when they encountered a big python, which was probably a kilometer away, and then introduced the big python for more than a kilometer to fight with the monsters, which was almost more than two kilometers away.

After dealing with the python and the dozens of monster reinforcements, Lu Xuan and the others walked more than a kilometer from the battlefield.

From the moment I sneaked into the experimental building and walked all the way inside, it was almost seven kilometers away.

The concept of seven kilometers is equivalent to a car traveling at 60 kilometers per hour, which takes seven minutes.

It was almost seven kilometers from Lu Xuan's first sneak into the building, but he still hadn't reached the innermost part. He had the ability to detect distant movements one kilometer in advance, and he hadn't seen the condition of the innermost wall.

In other words, even if you walk a kilometer or two, you may not reach the innermost part.

I really don’t know who the designer of this experimental building is, and why the length was increased so quickly instead of changing the required area to width, or adding one or two floors higher, just running from one end to the other. It doesn’t have to be that far.

But this is a desert, and there is floating sand a few meters deep underground. The foundation cannot be said to be very stable because it is surrounded by floating sand. If the floor is too high, the center of gravity is in the sky, which means that the upper part is heavier than the foundation and one or two floors below.

There are many tornadoes and ten-level storms in the desert. If a building is too tall and is hit by a storm, it will easily collapse because the center of gravity of the wall is at a high place. If the upper part tilts slightly, the lower part will be uprooted. .

All the dormitory buildings, arsenals, and laboratories in the desert weapons experimental base will not exceed three floors, and the center of gravity will be as low as possible.

These designers made each building so slender. Their purpose may be to protect a large area from wind and sandstorms, and to expand the load-bearing range of the foundation to completely stabilize the building.

In this way, even if one end of the experimental building encounters a sandstorm, the other section will still be intact and will not be affected at all.

For such a wide-ranging building, if one does not have the ability to detect all movements within a one kilometer radius in advance, one would have to rely solely on human instinct to search inside. In addition, if the monster deliberately hides, it is certain that it will be able to detect movements in advance. It can be said that It can be described as extremely difficult to completely find the monsters hidden inside.

Not to mention a search, the special forces sent in may have died before they even got here.

"It's strange, why have we walked for so long without finding a single monster?" After walking for a long time without finding any trace of the monster, Mo Qingfeng couldn't help but pursed his lips and asked curiously.

"It's indeed a bit strange." Lu Xuan responded casually and said: "There is no trace of monsters for more than a kilometer. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. At least one or two are hiding in a corner to keep watch. If there is space, With such a large area unguarded, if human special forces suddenly raid in from here, they will be in danger. Could it be possible that we will kill them all?"

"It is indeed possible." Mo Qingfeng responded half-jokingly.

"Haha." Lu Xuan just smiled faintly and said casually: "I hope so, so that we will be so tired. However, we still have to go to the innermost part to check, and we must make sure that every monster is covered by our Eliminate it.”

Mo Qingfeng nodded and walked in without saying anything.

After the three of them walked for a while, Lu Xuan scratched his head and murmured with some confusion: "Don't you think it's a little strange?"

"What's weird?" Mo Qingfeng muttered instinctively, and then spoke again: "From the time we started to meet until now, you have been mumbling something weird from time to time, but you haven't given a reason for what's weird."

Bai Rukong just glanced at Lu Xuan and said nothing, obviously he was already used to his behavior.

"It's still the same as before. Don't you think the monsters are too orderly?" Lu Xuan rubbed his nose and said slowly and calmly.

Hearing this, Mo Qingfeng couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said, "You have mentioned this matter many times, but you can't explain the reason. Isn't this nonsense?"

Bai Rukong also rolled his eyes at Lu Xuan, obviously feeling a little disgusted and helpless when he repeatedly mentioned this matter.

"Ha ha."

Lu Xuan smiled awkwardly, and then spoke again, "We have just said that the monsters behave in a regular manner and cooperate like a human army with a clear division of labor. Of course, many monsters are mutations of us humans. , inherited everything from us humans, and blocked all our doubts at once.”

"However, I still feel very strange." At this point, Lu Xuan paused, and then slowly said: "Look, their team was in order before. After we came in, there was another super python. Blocking the entrance and exit, like a guard. Not counting these, when the dozens of monsters who reinforced before finally fought with the python, it seemed that one of the first two ninth-level monsters was the one who attacked him. It seemed that he Like a leader commanding these monsters.”

"What do you want to say?" Mo Qingfeng raised his eyebrows and asked curiously again.

Lu Xuan thought about it for a while, and then made a bold guess, "I suspect there will be a very powerful monster inside. It will be more powerful than the monsters we encountered before. It is these hundreds of monsters." The leader. Just like Chief Instructor Gong Qiang in our army, he is the leader who gives orders and is in charge of a group of people."

Mo Qingfeng thought for a moment, and then responded: "It's not surprising. After all, they are evolved and upgraded from us humans. In this world where the weak eat the strong, it's not surprising that the strong are respected and become the leader. After all, there are dragons It can’t be leaderless.”

"That's true. Logically speaking, there's nothing surprising about it, but I still think there's a big problem with it." Lu Xuan shouted in a low voice, then scratched his head and said, "Just think about how terrifying that python was just now. Ah, with the strength of the three of us, no matter what kind of monster we face, we will definitely not suffer any loss if we fight alone. If we were to become monsters, we would definitely be leaders at the level. Don’t talk about me, even the two of you will face the big python. At that time, there is no way to win it except running away."

"The python's defense and destructive power are too strong. You tried your best just now and could only leave a small wound on it. If I hadn't cut off its tongue, to be honest, if you fight it and don't run away and hold on, it will be inevitable in the end. Become a meal on the plate." Lu Xuan first rubbed his nose and said that the super giant python is very powerful, and then said: "Don't you think it's strange that such a powerful character has become a bodyguard guarding the entrance and exit?"

"Could it be that there is a being inside that is stronger than it?" Mo Qingfeng did not speak, but Bai Rukong, who had always been silent, was the first to ask.

"It is indeed possible." Lu Xuan nodded and gave another guess: "If there is no monster inside that is more powerful than a python, there must be something particularly important. That is what we humans are currently doing. There are no secrets that have been explored.”

Mo Qingfeng raised his eyebrows and whispered, "Why do you think so?"

"Ah."

Lu Xuan smiled lightly and continued to express his conjectures and opinions: "Think about it, why is the python, a monster with devastating combat power, guarding so deep in the experimental building, or in front of the only possible passage further inside? It has such powerful destructive power. If you guard the front and dozens of monsters are helping you, 200 members of the special forces team will not be able to break in. If I hadn't arrived here, maybe the two of you would have led squads one, two and three to rush in. Even if you come in, you won't be able to break through the python's blockade.

Thinking about the worst, the monsters have the super killer weapon of python, and it takes only a matter of minutes to break through. If a python rushes into the guarding special forces group outside to disrupt the formation and cause panic, other monsters can rush out. Why does it still wait before entering the deeper passage?"

After hearing Lu Xuan's words, Bai Mo and Bai Mo nodded thoughtfully. After thinking about it, they agreed with his point of view and felt that there was something fishy about the monsters.

Mo Qingfeng tilted his head slightly, thought for a while, and said slowly: "If you put it this way, there must be a super strong man inside, whose fighting power is much more powerful than a python. It seems that the three of us will be in trouble when facing him. not enough."

"n"

Lu Xuan shook his head and said: "It's easy to guess that there may be strong people inside. After all, there is a big python stationed there. You can figure it out with a little thought. What I am more troubled about is not this issue."

"What problem is that?" Mo Qingfeng asked.

Lu Xuan looked puzzled and asked suspiciously: "You said that the monsters include the python, which is extremely destructive, and there may be a super strong person among them. Let alone break out and kill everyone in this laboratory building. , even if they break out, it only takes a matter of minutes, and the pythons have attracted the attention of many special forces. What I don’t understand is why they are not moving here.”

"That's right." Mo Qingfeng patted his head as if he had a sudden realization, and then said: "Why do they stay here in the laboratory building all the time when they can break out and rush out? You must know that the longer they stay, the more human troops there will be outside. The more plans there are to kill them, the more dangerous they become. The monsters' brains are all upgraded with drugs, so there is no way they won't understand this."

"Indeed." Bai Rukong, who was relatively taciturn, nodded and followed the analysis: "With the python, we don't have to make insignificant sacrifices. Why would they send weaklings to tangle with our special forces soldiers and cause them to injure the enemy by three hundred and damage themselves by one?" Bai’s behavior, not to mention the super strong man who may exist inside, is that as soon as the giant python comes out, the human army will kill as many as it comes in, and there is no resistance at all."

Lu Xuan finally felt relieved when he saw that the place he found strange was finally found and recognized by both of them.

He raised his eyebrows and said doubtfully again: "So, this is what's really strange. I don't understand what the plans of these monsters are."

"It seems that there must be something we don't know about inside. It's not just the possibility of a super strong person." Mo Qingfeng sighed.

"That's right." Lu Xuan nodded, and then said: "No matter what the secrets hidden inside are, there is definitely danger. It may be much more dangerous than when we face the giant python."

As soon as the words fell, the three people looked at each other, as if waiting for each other's decision.

After a few seconds, Lu Xuan said: "There must be dangers inside. You decide whether to stay or leave."

"Is there any better choice now?" Bai Rukong smiled helplessly and said, "If the three of us can't solve it, who else can we expect to solve it?"

Mo Qingfeng sneered and said: "My appetite has come out. I definitely want to go in and see what's inside. If it's really dangerous or too powerful, don't you have your perception ability to detect it one kilometer in advance? If you think it's impossible to play, Once we get down, we will evacuate in advance, report the coordinates like a boa constrictor, let Gong Qiang command the artillery, and use the artillery to kill the group accurately."

"Ah."

Lu Xuan also smiled bitterly and said: "As I thought, since I have come here, of course I have to go in and have a look. No matter what it is, you must understand it first, otherwise you will be disappointed when you go outside. Itchy wants to know. If it’s too dangerous, we’ll leave one kilometer earlier.”

"Okay, it's decided." Mo Qingfeng nodded in agreement.

The next moment, a few of them continued to go deeper for almost a kilometer.

From the time they sneaked into the experimental building to now, the total length of progress has been more than eight kilometers or even nine kilometers.

Ever since the giant python and dozens of reinforced monsters were eliminated, no monsters had appeared within the range of perception along the way. It really made people feel as if all the monsters had been wiped out.

"There is a situation."

Finally, after walking five or six hundred meters, Lu Xuan's perception ability finally detected the trace of a monster one kilometer away, so he instinctively reminded him.

He continued to walk forward a few meters and wanted to check more, but was suddenly stunned.

Because Lu Xuan saw an incredible scene, something he had never expected since he knew there was a biological crisis and entered the experimental building.
