Byron's Blade

The leading reconnaissance drone sent back images captured under night vision, and a dense swarm of flying insects appeared on the surveillance screen held in the hands of the Generalissimo, and the "buzzing" sound of flapping wings resounded throughout the corridor.The swarm passed the reconnaissance plane and was flying towards the direction of the fleet at high speed.

"It's the Mystery Fly." The Generalissimo said in a deep voice.

When the generalissimo's subordinates heard the word "Secret Fly", their expressions were a little strange.Unexpectedly, not long after marching, they encountered an enemy of the level of the Quest Fly.However, no one panicked, and it was obvious that they were well prepared.

The Quest Fly is a second-generation Zerg mutated from the fusion of the Parasite Zerg and the flies on the earth.Compared with the first generation of Zerg, they are much smaller in size, but because they act in groups, the harm is not worse than that of the first generation of Zerg.This is a kind of aquatic insect race, which can only appear in the dark environment near the water. Generally, there will be different divisions of labor and cooperation among groups of quest flies, similar to bee colonies and ant colonies, social classes appear.

For example, the pioneer fly is the first combat species to rush up when encountering the enemy. Of course, it usually also acts as a meat shield and death squad. Because the head is red, it is also called red-headed fly.All red-headed flies are male. In addition to licking mouthparts, they also have pincer teeth, which are very ferocious.In addition to fighting, it is also responsible for mating/breeding the next generation.

Collector fly is a kind of work that specializes in collecting food. It has a blue head and is also called bluehead fly.Flies are sweet-loving, and their food is mostly substances with high sugar content, such as fruit or decaying matter.For the quest flies, humans are a very delicious food, and human carrion is also a breeding ground for them to lay eggs.

In a swarm of flies, there will be a lord of the flies, usually with a golden head, also known as the golden-headed lord of the flies.The king of flies is the largest female insect and is responsible for breeding the next generation. At the same time, it releases pheromones and organizes the pioneer flies and collector flies to work.As long as there are sufficient resources, one lord of the flies can mate with countless red-headed flies at the same time, and can produce hundreds of millions of eggs in a lifetime, and the reproductive ability is terrible.But unfortunately, there are not so many resources for the king fly to lay eggs, so the number of quest flies is not very large.

Generally, the size of the red-headed fly is about the size of a small dog, the blue-headed fly is slightly smaller, and the size of the golden-headed fly king can reach the level of an adult American black bear.

As for why it is named "Explorer Fly", it is because this kind of Zerg has a very terrifying ability. Its compound eyes can be completely duplicated, 360 degrees without dead ends, and its wings are well developed, light and flexible. To zero turnover avoidance, so very difficult to play.

However, Generalissimo Rudolph, who has fought through the era of disorder and established the Federation, will not be frightened away by a group of quest flies.Marshal Rudolph's disposal was very simple. He ordered someone to lift up a hand-held instrument and press the switch to turn it on.Not long after, you can see that the incoming fly swarm seems to have hit a meat grinder, and at a place about three or four meters away from the captive ship, they are all crushed into powder and fall into the water below.

There were rustling sounds and the unique screams of the Zerg one after another, and the lights and shadows flickered in front of the searchlights, as if an extremely cruel shadow play was being staged.There was juice splashed on the captive ship, and Mu Li and the others were also stained with the juice, and a stench could be smelled through the gas mask.The viscera seemed to be beaten by an invisible hand, shaking violently, and the dizziness and nausea made Mu Li want to vomit.She felt uncomfortable, and the others couldn't feel better. Mu Li saw that many people on the captive ship had already bent down, kept their heads, or slapped their chests, retching and convulsing, looking very painful.This scene lasted for about 10 minutes, and finally fell silent, and Mu Li heaved a sigh of relief.

The unmanned reconnaissance plane explored the way forward again, and after a while, the Grand Marshal ordered to continue moving forward.

Mu Li adjusted his breath and began to paddle the oars, thinking about what the instrument was just now, and guessed it was a sonic attack-type range weapon.Indeed, although the Quest Fly has a frightening ability to dodge, this is a tunnel, and there is always a limit to dodge. Coupled with the natural speed restraint of sonic weapons, it can be said to be a breeze to deal with the Quest Fly.

However, the captive ship at the front of the sonic wave front was obviously affected. This sonic weapon would not distinguish between enemy and friend, and the captives on the captive ship were also within range. Although they did not collide head-on, they still had a considerable impact.However, how could the Grand Marshal care about their lives? He brought them down to let them serve as pathfinding stones.

The oar touched something, and Mu Li turned his head to look, and found that it had hit the remains of a Quest fly that fell into the water just now.An inexplicable sense of sadness filled her heart, if she didn't find a way, the appearance of these quest flies now would be their future fate.

Mu Li gritted his teeth, and the resentment in his heart went up to a higher level.She forced herself to calm down, not to rush into her head and do something she regretted most.We still have to be patient now, it’s not that we won’t rebel, the time has not yet come.

However, this is an exploration destined to be full of unexpected hardships and dangers.The boat traveled for another 10 minutes, and came to about the middle of the corridor. At this time, it was obvious that the water level was dropping, and the boat was speeding up without rowing.It was probably expected that such a situation would happen a long time ago. The kayak at the end had already fired an eagle claw hook at the top of the tunnel above and the tunnel walls on both sides. The ropes, the boats are tied together, and the captive boats at the front are all tied with ropes.

The water under the boat was flowing rapidly, but the fleet was tied in the tunnel like this.There was a faint roaring and reverberating sound ahead, and Mu Li speculated that there should be a huge drop in front, resulting in a waterfall.

It’s just that Mu Li doesn’t quite understand why there is such a large drop. Logically speaking, the collider pipelines should all be on the same level, so the tunnel should also extend horizontally, and the drop should not exist.

The generalissimo had her doubts at first, but after sending out a reconnaissance plane to investigate, he probably knew the reason.

"The tunnel should be inhabited by large-scale soil insects, either earth dragons or earth mother insects. These insects take pleasure in drilling the soil, hollowed out the middle of the tunnel, and created a huge gap in front. The accumulated water flows here , and fell down, forming an underground lake below. There are also holes drilled by the soil insects below, and the water flows away, so there is the current situation."

"Grandfather, how do we get there? The destination is at the other end of the tunnel, and we have to cross this gap." Pell, who was sitting beside the generalissimo, asked.

The Generalissimo pondered for a moment, then made a decision:

"Take the rope bridge across."

This is the job of the captive ship again. The captive ship closest to the mouth of the waterfall needs to build an interception fortification at the mouth of the waterfall to prevent the ship from falling.

The material is quick-setting superglue as a catch net on the edge of the net.This kind of catching net was once used to catch the Ares mecha driven by Mu Li, and now this model is a reduced version.Launched with a special launcher, after the net is opened, the sphere at the edge of the net will explode, and the gel will stick to the wall at the edge of the waterfall, holding it firmly, as if a giant spider wove a sheet at the mouth of the waterfall. The net is average.This kind of net has sent two, which can be regarded as the initial completion of the interception fortification.

Next, with the help of this net, the captives began to build a suspended foothold on both sides of the tunnel.In fact, several telescopic metal rods are joined together and nailed to the walls on both sides, so that people can stand on it.

Then, the captives took professional cutting tools, and under the supervision of the soldiers, cut open the center of the net, leaving a hole big enough for one person to pass through. Then a soldier stood at the hole, fired two steel cables, and the steel cables passed through. The empty cave was finally stuck on the wall at the edge of the opposite tunnel.Everyone worked together to test the strength, but found that it was not good, because the stone on the opposite wall was soft, and it might not be able to bear too much weight.

Retracting the cable, tried several times, and finally found a point that could support enough weight.

Fortunately, there is no water in the opposite tunnel. From the screen fed back by the reconnaissance plane, it can be seen that the interior is dry, and at most it is a little damp.In this way, it is only a matter of swinging from the rope into the tunnel to be considered a success.And these kayaks are not recycled, they are piled at the mouth of the waterfall as a tool for stepping, and they will probably stay here forever.

All the work above was done by more than a dozen captives including Mu Li. Of course, there were soldiers watching from the sidelines, and the results still needed to be inspected. There was no room for sloppiness.Everyone knew very well that it was meaningless to do such small tricks now, and they still needed to rely on Andres' strength to reach their destination.Except for Mu Xin, who was blind, and Alita, whose spine was damaged, the 14 prisoners had been busy for more than 40 minutes before finishing all the above tasks.Everyone was exhausted and sweated in the cold temperature.In particular, Mo Kexin couldn't hold it anymore, she was running a high fever, and she was still tossing like this, and when everything was done, she almost fainted, but it was Mu Li who kept supporting her secretly, so she didn't let her fall down.

During this period, Mu Li has been trying to get in touch with Lan Ni, even if he whispered a word.Ever since she was captured, she hadn't been able to have a single word with Lanny.When they worked together to cut the rope net, Lan Ni probably sensed Mu Li's intentions, and quietly stood beside her, while her hands were busy, she whispered a word in her ear:

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Mu Li's heart trembled, and just as he was about to reply, he heard Lan Ni say:

"Don't talk, pay attention to me giving you hints later."

After saying this, she left immediately, and a soldier behind her noticed that they were whispering and had already come over.

Mu Li secretly bit his lip.

The soldiers began to try to climb the rope to the opposite side. Each soldier has a climbing device, which is a tool similar to a large clamp, which can hold the rope. There is a handle on the outside for grasping, and there are rollers and motors inside. , can lead people to easily climb the rope.

First, four strong soldiers reached the opposite side using the rope climber. Because the rope at the other end was tied in the rock above the tunnel, each soldier let go of the rope-tangle legs and swung their bodies. , jumped into the tunnel cave.

After the four soldiers had passed, the captives began to be forced to go to the opposite side on the rope.But it is conceivable that the captives did not have rope climbing devices, so they could only hang upside down on the rope with their hands and feet, and move over bit by bit.

For those who have served in the army, climbing rope is not unfamiliar at all.In the physical training of the army, climbing ropes and dropping ropes is a basic course.However, for young ladies and those who are not good at sports, this is simply impossible, especially when they are controlled by drugs, their physical fitness is weakened several times, and it is even more difficult.Coupled with the terrain factors such as the long distance and the danger below, everyone only felt that the pressure doubled.

"Generalissimo, I have a request." Just as Robin Quinn was about to be the first to climb the rope, Mu Li, who was standing behind the kayak, suddenly said.

"Oh? What does the head pastor want to say?" Rudolph asked with great interest.

"In our team, there are a few people with weak physical fitness, and it will be more difficult to climb the rope. I hope that we can freely assign people to help."

"Hehe..." The Generalissimo sneered inexplicably, and said, "You can do whatever you want, as long as you have a way to get over, I don't care about anything. But, I'm ugly, I won't give you a helping hand .Having such a steel cable to let you pass is already the greatest charity. Don’t think about playing tricks, I still have several such steel cables, but you only have one life.”

"Thank you." Facing the blatant threat, Mu Li just responded in a cold voice, and then immediately made arrangements.

After about 5 minutes, everyone agreed and began to claim one by one according to the plan.

The author has something to say: there is another update tonight.
