I Was Once a Legend

Compared with the first floor, the number of bugs on the second floor did not increase significantly, but each one was much larger. They encountered three or four giant cockroaches when they got off the elevator. Fortunately, they were deterred by the flames. , these insects who have been accustomed to the low temperature environment and have extremely weak tolerance to high temperature hesitated for a while, and then began to flee.

Dong Linhai threw away the empty fuel tank and replaced it with a new one. Adding the one attached to the flamethrower, they only had two fuel tanks left.

Use sparingly, it should be enough.

Finding the location directly leading to the elevator, Dong Zheng was not surprised to find that the entire elevator shaft was empty, and the door was wide open, revealing the slowly rising and falling biological tissue in it—the abdomen that was bulging to almost transparent, where countless Eggs crowded together.

A giant weta-like female transformed the elevator shaft into a nest. The dark green slime stood on the side of the shaft, with countless hatching eggs attached to it, some of which were broken and white. Larvae emerge from it, covered in mucus.

Dong Zheng stopped ten meters away from the elevator shaft.

He gestured to retreat, and the group retreated slowly step by step.

Wang Que began to retch silently, and the thought of the mother worm was accurately transmitted to her mind. At this moment, she felt as if she had turned into that ugly worm, with kind and joyful love for those eggs and larvae meaning.

She took a deep breath, trying not to care about those feelings, but it was beyond her control. Finally, Wang Que couldn't hold back and vomited.

Dong Linhai raised his hand and patted her on the back lightly, and they stepped back and away from each other step by step. Just as they were about to turn around, the huge body climbed down the elevator shaft vertically and with difficulty. On their huge heads, hundreds of large and small eyes stared straight at them.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Dong Zheng shouted: "Let's go!"

They ran away, and the female worm rubbed its wings against each other and made a sharp sound. In an instant, countless black male worms flew out of the elevator shaft, rushing towards everyone like a black torrent!

Dong Zheng and Cui Zuojing, who were leading the way, suddenly became the last ones. Dong Zheng shot down while running, and shot down the few rushing to the front. There were too many bugs, and he didn't need to aim at all. Can hit the target.

Compared with traditional bullets, laser guns can cause higher and wider damage to insects. They shoot down male insects that are small compared to female insects layer by layer. After being burned by the laser, the insects fall to the ground and remain Struggling, quite a few crookedly took off again, chasing everyone.

"Where are you going!" Lin Hangzhi became the one at the front. Everyone remembered the structure of the base, but obviously, it was not as accurate as Wang Que and Dong Zheng. Fortunately, we can bring everyone into the ditch.

"Turn right ahead!" Wang Que, who was following him, confirmed the general distribution of the Zerg in front of him, and pointed out the way for him.

The figure of Lin Hangzhi in front disappeared at the corner on the right, and the next second, the man let out a scream and turned back quickly: "There are worms over there!"

"There are more bugs in other places!" Wang Que ran past him, Lin Hangzhi hurried back after hearing this, and rushed to the front, no matter how much he coaxed, he couldn't let a little girl like Wang Que take the lead.

A centipede more than 20 meters long was entrenched on the road ahead. Feeling the vibration in the corridor, it raised its centipede upper body, and the two tentacles on the top of its head whipped towards them. Lin Hangzhi gritted his teeth fiercely and held up the laser beam. Point the gun at the centipede's head, shout "Die!", and pull the trigger.

The laser hit the head of the centipede, black juice sprayed out, and fell on the ground, melting the metal floor until white smoke came out. Lin Hangzhi fired a few more shots while the iron was hot, shouting: "The centipede is poisonous! Be careful not to touch it!" to its juice!"

They quickly ran past the centipede, and Cui Zuojing looked back, only to see that the hole in the long worm's head burned by the laser quickly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the angry centipede waved hundreds of feet, just Wanting to chase it, it was nearly turned over by the male wetas that followed.

Now the object of its anger quickly shifted, the centipede opened its guillotine-like mouthparts, clamped a weta fiercely, and cut the basketball-sized bug into two pieces!

There was chaos behind them. The original pursuit of the team turned into a battle between centipedes and wetas. No one cared about the outcome. Under Wang Que's leadership, they chose the route with the fewest bugs all the way to the stairwell.

The door of the stairwell was blocked by something, and after it was violently broken open, a large group of bugs flew out, all of which were burned to carbon by the flamethrower.

The dark purple fungi filled the stairwell, and the bugs lived on it. The anaerobic respiration of the fungus generated heat and produced some toxic gases, which also made the temperature in the stairwell extremely warm, making it the most suitable breeding ground.

This can't help but remind Dong Zheng of the hospital's secret place in the Labyrinth of Time. Those mutated plants also want to grow wildly like this. He and Allen, each holding an infusion stand, stumbled upwards to find Wen Baoshan who was trapped on the hospital bed.

But now, the red-haired youth has left.

Creep covered the stairs, leaving no place for people to step down.

"Evil..." Linhai's entire face was about to wrinkle, "It's so disgusting, do you really want to pass here?"

Cui Zuojing: "Maybe you want to meet that lizard and her children again."

"...Forget it then." Dong Linhai sighed and asked, "After this thing burns, there won't be any negative effects."

"I'm not sure about the toxicity of the fungus. These mutated insects can tolerate it, but it may not be safe for us." Lin Hangzhi sighed, "But besides burning it, what else can we do?"

"I hope the protective suit is strong enough." Dong Linhai muttered in a low voice, and before he resignedly pulled the trigger of the flamethrower, he shouted, "Everyone, be careful, I'm about to start!"

The fiery red dragon spewed out from the nozzle. It was a white flame unique to high temperature, which crackled the creep and insects, and the flowing juice was evaporated in an instant, and the others followed closely behind him.Cui Zuojing heard a beeping alarm—it was an alarm from the sensor of the protective clothing, indicating that the toxic gas around him had exceeded the standard.

They walked fast so as not to be attacked by insects after cooling down. In less than 2 minutes, they had already descended to the third basement floor. Dong Linhai looked and found that the stairs leading to the fourth floor had been submerged in dark green stagnant water.

Cui Zuojing poked it lightly with a knife, the water was a bit thick, and when it was stirred, bubbles popped out, obviously there were some unknown creatures in it.

Lin Hangzhi: "Water? Why is there so much water?"

Cui Zuojing: "Where is the pipe leaking? Then the door leading to the fourth floor must require a lot of authority to open. If it is closed, it will naturally accumulate."

"Sure enough." Dong Zheng didn't feel too surprised. He took a deep breath, prepared to meet the alien giant worm, and ordered neatly, "Go to the third floor, there is a staircase in the northeast corner."

Wang Que quickly planned a route in his mind, and said worriedly: "But then we will cross the third floor, there are a lot of bugs here."

Dong Zheng: "Obviously, the box wants us to do this. Let's go. Que'er always pay attention to the situation and try to choose the safest path."

Wang Que nodded vigorously.

Stepping into the third floor, everyone tensed up. Wang Que stood there and felt for a while, pointing in one direction: "This way."

Until now, they still haven't found an identity card with sufficient authority, and the card they got on the third floor is not enough to guarantee them unimpeded access to the most important four floors.

For this reason, Cui Zuojing broke open the doors room by room, wasting a lot of energy.

Dong Linhai had an idea: "By the way, can Brother Fu's key be used? Since his key has the function of 005, wouldn't it be easy to open this door?"

Cui Zuojing shook his head: "It's best not to use Fu Zhe's stuff in the box, as his ability that can directly reduce the difficulty of the plot will be discovered by Kether once used."

Lin Hangzhi: "K... what?"

"I'll tell you carefully after I get out." Cui Zuojing kicked the door open after a while, sweating from exhaustion, and said, "And this door doesn't have a lock hole, so how do you open it with the key? "

Dong Linhai: "...that's right."

Cui Zuojing was exhausted. Lockpicking was never something he was good at. During the afternoon tea party, he always liked to use knives to solve problems, so this time the lockpicking was also simple and rough.

Fortunately, this room seems to be the dormitory of a certain researcher. Dong Zheng successfully got an identity card in the drawer. mutant creature.

Standing at the door of the dormitory, Lin Hangzhi always felt that something was watching him from the depths of the darkness. He hesitated a little, and took two tentative steps towards the front of the corridor.

Suddenly he staggered and tripped over something.

Wang Que suddenly said: "Something is coming, let's go!"

Dong Linhai, who was rummaging for other clues, rushed out of the room with the others when he heard the words, turned the corner under the leadership of Wang Que, and hid for the time being.

A spider nearly two meters high quickly crawled over from the ceiling and crawled straight into the room they were in just now. The spider's long-haired body was covered with many white spots, like eyes, watching coldly. around.

Three minutes later, the spider, which had found nothing, came out of the bedroom, spit out a string of translucent spider silk at the door again, and crawled into the darkness.

Only then did Lin Hangzhi realize that the thing that tripped him just now was a spider's thread.

The road ahead...will not be full of "traps" like this!

He whispered his worries, Wang Que was silent for a moment, and said: "The bugs here are very conscious, unlike the ones on the third floor, which I can barely control for a while with all my strength, they may affect me in reverse, and here It is the nest where they have lived for an unknown number of years, and there must be many dangers, everyone must be careful, all I can do is to find a more suitable path."

"It's enough." Cui Zuojing changed the magazine of the laser gun with a new one, and said, "If you do everything, what else do you want us to do, right?"
