I Was Once a Legend

Dong Zheng galloped all the way in the direction of the hut. He drove too hard, and the chassis of the suspended vehicle shook violently with a loud noise in the middle, as if hitting a rock, but Dong Zheng didn't care. They were ready to abandon the car and escape at any time. Prepare.

The figure of the hut finally appeared in sight, and Dong Zheng suddenly stopped the car while he drifted and threw everyone to the wall of the car.

"Let's go!" He slapped the car door, pushed the console and rushed into the snow outside from the cab, Cui Zuojing was dizzy by his flick of the tail, shook his head and jumped off the roof, He ran in front of everyone, struggled to advance several meters in the waist-deep snow, and kicked open the door of the hut.

The door of the safe house that appeared in the box at an unknown time was half buried, and the moment the door opened, snow poured in, engulfing the young man inside.

Dong Zheng then rushed in, followed by Ai Lun, Dong Linhai pulled Wang Que, Lin Hangzhi came in last, and together with Dong Zheng tried their best to push the door back on, regardless of whether it was useful or not, they inserted the latch, and their backs were tight. right on top.

For a while, there were only people panting violently one after another in the communication channel, and Wang Que leaned against the wall, watching in horror as a layer of black bugs hit the window, instantly covering all the light coming in from outside.

The swarms of insects following the levitation vehicle came one after another, crawling along the walls and covering the entire house, and those flying insects crackled and hit the windows and the bodies of their companions, layer by layer, engulfing them into a black mass .

It was pitch black in the cabin.

The crackling sound of the bugs' exoskeletons colliding was still ringing, and Wang Que was going crazy. The will of the bug swarm surrounded her. Because the number was too large, she couldn't control it at all.

No matter how much she endured her nausea and gave the order to leave as soon as possible, there were still countless bugs gathering here.

They turned on the lights on their respective protective clothing, and the staggered light illuminated everything in the hut. Lin Hangzhi guessed right, this is indeed a safe house.

The boxy house had a door and a window open, and they locked the door from the inside. Considering the characteristics of the safe house, bugs from outside should not be able to get in for a while.The windows were completely covered by the bugs, and the abdomens of countless small black beetles, as well as their densely packed joints, could be clearly seen from inside.

Other than that, there was nothing else in the house.

Allen sat down on the ground, took off his helmet and wiped the cold sweat off his face.

After discovering that it was the spider silk that stuck to him, Allen became very nervous. This is a box that may kill him anytime, anywhere. Any accident will definitely lead to a series of chain reactions behind.

Fortunately, with the help of his companions, he managed to break free.

The protective clothing maintains a suitable 20 degrees, and the helmet is suddenly taken off, and the sweat beads are showing signs of freezing.

Cui Zuojing walked around the room, and was roughly sure that there was only one exit, the door, and said, "So? How do we get out?"

Dong Zheng pinched his brows wearily, and sat on the ground against the wall. Then he thought that there were many bugs separated by the wall, so he moved to the center of the room: "I don't know."

Seeing this, Cui Zuojing also sat down: "Okay, let's rest for a while, just think of a way now."

He was silent for a moment, recalling all the thrilling events just now, and couldn't help wondering: "Can't the bio-radar on the car detect such a big spider?"

Dong Zheng shook his head: "The radar did not show any traces of creatures, otherwise we would not have hit the spider web directly."

Lin Hangzhi: "They have lived in a low-temperature environment for a long time, and their body temperature has evolved to be similar to that of the surrounding area. Of course, the traditional bio-radar that relies on heat source sensing will not work."

Allen's gloves were still stuck to the spider silk and a small part of the car's front profile, and he didn't dare to touch it now, for fear that the spider silk would stick his other hand or other places.

Dong Linhai and Lin Hangzhi were helping him figure out how to get rid of the spider silk. Linhai frowned and said, "For such a big spider, even if the food chain is supported by those photosynthetic insect swarms, it would take countless spiders to grow so big. clean food and quite a while."

"In such a harsh environment, such top predators still exist, and they must have evolved a very complete food chain." Lin Hangzhi said, "Spiders like to use venom to turn food bones into juice before sucking them. It is doomed that it cannot feed on the bottom phytoplankton and krill like whales in the sea. The more complex the food chain, the more organisms passing through it, the lower the energy conversion efficiency. From this point of view, the age of the spider, I am afraid It's beyond our imagination."

Dong Zheng: "Even if the food chain is perfect, it is impossible to grow such a large creature. I personally tend to have some more important factors, such as... our destination, the Biochemical Research Institute."

Allen: "You mean that after humans fell asleep, the medicine in the Biochemical Research Institute leaked, causing these bugs to mutate?"

Lin Hangzhi nodded and said with a wry smile: "This is the most likely situation. Even if the vitality of the insects is very tenacious, it is impossible for so many to survive the Ice Age, and the box will definitely cause us some trouble. If It's biochemical pollution, and there will be troubles in the future."

"It's really an advanced version of Resident Evil." Dong Linhai sighed, "No wonder they were given so many weapons."

"Okay, guys, stop talking about what you have and what you don't have." Cui Zuojing reminded, "Even if it is a safe room, it cannot guarantee absolute safety for a long time. You all know this."

After hearing the words, everyone stopped discussing the setting of the box, and stood up one after another to find other passages that could go out.

The hut is not big, so it was quickly searched all over, but nothing special was found.

"No, the search must not be thorough enough. Since the safe house is set up, the box cannot trap us inside." Cui Zuojing frowned and said, "Let's search again."

The six people almost searched the small house to the bottom. Finally, Dong Linhai found a small hole the size of a finger in the corner of the wall.

"Come and see, is this an institution?"

Everyone gathered around, and Dong Zheng put his fingers in to explore, and felt that there seemed to be a cavity under it.

Just as Dong Zheng was about to find something to expand the hole, Cui Zuojing took out a dagger: "I'll do it."

He expanded the hole to the size of a palm in two or three strokes, and simply and roughly removed the floor, saving the step of cracking the mechanism.

It can be clearly seen that there is a complex mechanical structure under the floor.

Cui Zuojing knocked, and after hearing the sound, he confirmed that there was a cavity below, and stood up: "Okay, this is it, get ready to go."

Allen couldn't help sighing: "Cui Er, your ability is easy to use, and it directly saves a lot of effort."

Cui Zuojing shrugged: "It's not as easy to use as I imagined, otherwise how could I have nothing to do with the spider silk in your hand."

The bugs outside have stopped making noise, but they are still densely packed on the house. Dong Zheng studied it, staring at the gears of these mechanisms, and figured out the possible consequences of touching each mechanism, in his mind. Listed each sorting situation, simulated it hundreds of times, and finally successfully unlocked the mechanism in one of the plans.

Dong Zheng followed the sequence simulated in his mind, and after a series of operations, with the dull sound of the machine running, a secret door slowly opened on the floor.

In the eyes of others, it was Dong Zheng who frowned and thought for a while, and then unlocked the mechanism two or three times. Dong Linhai hissed and sighed sincerely: "Brother, your ability is also very useful."

"Are you envious?" Dong Zheng endured the headache and nausea, and said, "You spend more time on ability training, and it will be of great use."

As the only person who knew Dong Zheng's true mental state, Cui Zuojing didn't say much. In this world, where are the geniuses and abilities that are best used? Everything has been developed after a long period of hard work. , in order to display it in an astonishing appearance.

Only the parties themselves know the hardships they have suffered.

The glutton's claw was lost while avoiding Leviathan in the underground cave, and he couldn't bring it out of Dusk Island, so Dong Zheng lost such an artifact that could cure headaches and was quite suitable for him.

He lay on the bed every night before going to bed and practiced his newly acquired abilities, and didn't stop until he had an unbearable headache. In this case, he could almost close his eyes and then fall asleep without delaying anything.

This is a pain because the blood contract is related to Cui Zuojing, and Dong Zheng is in a bad state of mind, and he is exhausted, unable to do anything, so he can only follow Dong Zheng's schedule to rest.

However, Cui Zuojing was very happy to see the person he selected worked so hard.

Under the secret door is a vertical ladder, made of metal, which has been brittle like a tree branch after being frozen for such a long time at low temperature.Dong Linhai, who was in charge of exploring the way, had been prepared for a long time and stepped on it leisurely. Just as he transferred part of his weight to that foot, the ladder broke with a bang.

Seeing that the height below was only three or four meters, Dong Linhai jumped directly, with the protective clothing as a cushion, and did not shake his body.

Allen came down immediately. He had been thinking about how to get rid of the spider silk sticking to his hands. It was too inconvenient to carry this thing. If he accidentally touched something, he would just stick to it , I can't even walk away.

"How about I cut off the point of the glove." Alan thought for a while, and asked Cui Zuojing: "Cui Er, can you just cut off the layer of fiber that it sticks to?"

"The conditions you put forward are too difficult for me. If I can do it safely, I will get it off for you sooner." Cui Zuojing sighed, "The main reason is that I don't have tools now, so you need to find me a blade , I can do it, but with a dagger, it's a bit difficult."

Allen: "It's okay, you can do it, it's better to take a risk than to carry this thing all the time."

"That's fine." Cui Zuojing also felt that it was extremely inconvenient for Alan to do this. Originally, Alan's ability determined that he took agility as his advantage. He took out the dagger and gestured twice to find the feel, and said, "Queer stands here and gives me a hand." I'll fix the lighting."

Wang Que hurriedly stood at the place Cui Zuojing said, she was always paying attention to the message Ling Yinling sent her, hoping that if there were any bugs hiding around this time, she could find them as soon as possible.

Cui Zuojing took a deep breath. In order to ensure the accuracy of his movements, he took off his gloves. With his bare hands in the underground pipeline at minus ten degrees, he held a finger of Allen's glove, held his breath, and began to cut.
