Ancient Invasion [End Times]

The 120th day after the invasion · "Doctor, do you have brothers? The ones with blood genes?"

Before Zhang Jiuzhang realized what was going on, all the people in the monitoring room were looking at him.

Zhang Jiuzhang was so stared at that his hairs stood on end, and he frowned: "What's wrong?"

"There is something outside the door." Du Nanrong swallowed and said.

Cheng Sheng walked quickly to the door, and the flashlight shone on the place where the black shadow flashed on the monitoring screen earlier.

He bent down slightly, and saw that the wall was about waist height, and there was an inconspicuous line of transparent mucus standing on the wall, dripping down little by little. At first glance, it looked like the wall was damp and seeping water.

With the light of the flashlight shining on it, one can vaguely see the direction in which the mucus is stretching, fluctuating up and down, as if climbing over a wall.

Cheng Sheng stood up, shook the flashlight to shine into the distance, and said in a low voice, "Going in that direction."

The end of the corridor is divided into two forks, and the stretch of slime runs to the right.

He took some mucus through his sleeve and observed it. The transparent, slightly smelly mucus seemed to be a mark left by some kind of reptile.

Duan Yi found a fixed walkie-talkie that could be used normally in the control room. He found a tool and disassembled it directly, and took it with him.

The intercom would occasionally light up and sizzle, but no one ever spoke.

He walked up to Cheng Sheng, heard what Cheng Sheng said, and asked in a low voice, "Is it the lizard from before?"

"Maybe." Cheng Sheng said, "But it's not a lizard, it should be a chameleon, an avoidance family, and it's different from a lizard."

Cheng Sheng paused, thinking that the difference between a lizard and a chameleon doesn't mean much to these people.

He changed his rhetoric and said: "The reptile's body surface is dry, covered with horny scales, and has no secretory glands. If this mucus is left by it, then there may be something wrong with its state."

"Its condition? We still need humane care for the health of a lizard that can eat people?" Zhang Jiuzhang asked.

Cheng Sheng glanced at him and knew that this person couldn't tell the difference between a lizard and a chameleon. He twitched the corner of his mouth and asked, "Did I tell you how it is in condition?"

He then asked again: "Do you know if it is not in good condition, will it become a sick cat or a trapped animal?"

When Lin Qian heard this, he leaned over and interjected, "Come on, the kind of beast that can take Zhang Jiuzhang's head off with one tongue?"

Zhang Jiuzhang: "..."

The doctor smiled and nodded reservedly: "It depends on whether his neck is strong enough."

"Before the tip of the chameleon's tongue comes into contact with the target, it will form a state of negative air pressure, similar to the 'suction cup' and cupping." Cheng Sheng explained.

"After making contact with the target, the tongue tissue is like a vacuum pump, pulling it back together with the target directly, with a force that can even reach half of its own body weight."

"The speed at which a chameleon pops out its tongue to attack the target only takes seven milliseconds to stretch and retract. The chameleon we met weighed at least [-] kilograms." Cheng Sheng looked at Zhang Jiuzhang and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Guess, your head Can you hold it?"

Zhang Jiuzhang: "..."

Lin Qian subconsciously touched his face beside him, vacuum pump?Suction cup?It's no wonder that in such a split second, his face directly changed into that appearance...

"The doctor, what the hell is that lizard...?" Xu Ying's face turned green, and anyone who heard such an attack method and speed would tremble in their hearts.

——It is the default of mixing lizards and chameleons again.

Cheng Sheng didn't bother to correct it any longer, and acquiesced as if giving up on himself: "That discoloration... that lizard must be sick, and mucus is secreted from its mouth."

"This situation... is likely to be due to respiratory infections caused by not adapting to the internal environment and air pressure of the base. Seriously, it will lead to food refusal, bad temper, increased aggression, ocular edema, pneumonia, etc."

"Refused to eat? Is that good news?" Lin Qian's eyes lit up, at least he wouldn't want to eat them, would he?

Cheng Sheng looked at Lin Qian, good news?

He pointed to the corpse in the monitoring room, and asked Lin Qian, "Do you think that corpse was used as food? It didn't eat him, it was just attacking. Eating a small amount was also a sign and demonstration of instinct." .”

Lin Qian was slightly taken aback, this was so different from what he thought.

Duan Yi interrupted the doctor's "threat", he said: "What we may face is a highly sensitive creature with active aggressiveness. According to the biological habits, it is likely to climb and live on the heights of the base .”

"Everyone is on the alert, and will be notified immediately if a suspicious target is found to be moving."

"Roger that!"

Cheng Sheng quickly walked a few steps to stand side by side with Duan Yi, he lowered his voice and asked Duan Yi: "Where do you think everyone here has gone?"

Duan Yi shook the flashlight slightly, the beam was focused on a certain place, and he asked, "Did you see this mark?"

Cheng Sheng looked in the direction of the light beam, and saw an inconspicuous red scratch that looked like a crooked bug.

"What's that? Isn't it a blood mark?" Cheng Sheng raised his eyebrows. If it was a mark, it would be too abstract.

"It's the mark of Long Yan." Zhang Jiuzhang also noticed it, and he interjected.

Duan Yi nodded slightly.

"...Is it the evacuation mark left by the Longyan troops? What does this mark mean?" Cheng Sheng asked.

"The thick side represents the dragon's head, which means they are heading here; the thin side represents the dragon's tail, which is optional. If it appears, it means that the direction is very dangerous." Duan Yi said.

Cheng Sheng identified it. The narrow side was the safe passage they had just walked through. It was unclear whether it was referring to the passage corridor or the open space outside that was full of containers.

Du Nanrong paused when he heard that, and he asked with a laugh: "We have all walked over there, and nothing happened, so we should be fine, right?"

"Hopefully."

"So this painting is of a dragon head and a flood dragon's tail..." Du Jingshu twitched the corners of her mouth, why did she look so bug-like.

Both Zhang Jiuzhang and Duan Yi had strange expressions on their faces. After all, they were the logos of the teams they had served in. They were painted so ugly, which embarrassed the two captains.

"Actually, Longyan's logo is pretty pretty." Zhang Jiuzhang muttered.

Du Nanrong was funny, I really didn't expect Zhang Jiuzhang to be entangled in such a trivial matter.

"Walking all the way, it was completely evacuated, no one was left behind..." Du Nanrong said with emotion.

Except for the corpse they met in the monitoring room just now, they didn't encounter anything during their journey. It seemed that at least they walked very safely here.

"What happened to make the people in the base evacuate again?" Xu Ying frowned. The base is their last line of defense. If the base starts to evacuate...she can't think of where else to evacuate.

Their communicator was also lost during the journey. When they contacted the base for the last time, they failed to contact each other, maybe there was a problem at that time.

And even if the base resumed temporary communication afterwards, it was Cheng Sheng's turn that something happened.

Now that the communication is completely cut off, Cheng Sheng and his party can neither contact Long Changlin nor the large army of the base, so they can only wander around the base blindly.

Duan Yi handed the walkie-talkie to Lin Qian, and asked Lin Qian to constantly adjust the frequency channel to search for possible signals.

But so far, the walkie-talkie is still as quiet as a pool of stagnant water.

"That's the main control room, maybe we can find the base's emergency evacuation arrangements for record." Duan Yi noticed that obliquely ahead of them was a very spacious and huge room, like a small basketball court, and its function was marked on the sign at the door name.

Duan Yi and his party entered the main control room.

In the huge main control room, there is a round table surrounded by more than a dozen chairs, which seem to be the fixed high-level seats for every meeting.

Lin Qian and the others were looking for related documents such as filing documents, and there happened to be a computer that was completely open, on the interface of the system page, as if the user left in a hurry and did not have time to close it.

Lin Qian started right away, constantly adjusting the keywords to find the target file he wanted to find.

"Duan Yi, come and take a look at this." Cheng Sheng said suddenly, calling Duan Yi to the round table.

Standing between two chairs, he pointed to a round discus-like thing on the seat: "It's a projection."

Duan Yi quickly understood. He looked at Cheng Sheng: "Since not everyone is in the Tibetan base, at least there are other safe havens."

"It's the instinct of these politicians to find more escape routes for themselves." Cheng Sheng twitched his lips.

"No wonder, I think, if so many high-level officials are all evacuated to Tibet, it will always attract attention. Why was it so peaceful before and didn't hear any wind, so they dispersed and hid in other places." Cheng Sheng said .

The Tibetan base may be their main security base, but it is not the only one.

Even the cunning rabbit knows to find three caves, let alone those people.

However, at least this can be regarded as "good news".

"Doctor, Team Duan! Come and see!" Lin Qian seemed to have found something on the other end, and called Cheng Sheng and Duan Yi.

Lin Qian found a copy of the base log.

About ten days ago, a major earthquake occurred at the base.

Even though the building structure and materials of the base were constructed with underground activities in mind, they still couldn't withstand the power of the earthquake itself.

Serious landslides occurred in the base branches in the east and west, and the base dispatched personnel to rescue and evacuate the survivors in those two branches.

But soon, the front line sent a report that there was an unknown biological attack in the east and west branch bases.

In the face of three days of fighting and increasing battle damage reports, the headquarters finally took isolation measures to completely block the eastern base and western base, and the connecting trains were all suspended.

Lin Qian said, "Fortunately, we headed south from the beginning, otherwise we would have gone in vain."

He muttered, and called up the battle screen from the front line at that time, saying: "The screen shakes very badly, and the picture quality is not stable, but it can be seen that what they encountered were the same worms we encountered earlier."

"It seems that those devil worms did come out to attack the base because of the earthquake." Du Nanrong breathed lightly, "But just these worms, we have come over, so many armed soldiers can't do anything about them?"

"There are other things." Duan Yi stared at the battle scene on the screen, and said coldly.

He pressed the pause button, and in the black and white screen, there was a man in a white researcher's uniform. He was mixed in the chaos, but he didn't look panicked at all.

After being picked up by Duan Yi alone, Lin Qian realized that this person was a bit out of place with the surroundings.

"What is he doing?" Lin Qian asked with a frown.

Cheng Sheng's pupils shrank, and he couldn't see the man's face clearly on the screen, but just looking at his back and figure, he felt very similar to his mentor.

is it possible?Cheng Sheng clenched his fist.

Duan Yi pressed the pause button again, and the black and white screen started to move again.

I saw a cluster of very inconspicuous flames emanating from the man's palm, flickering bright and weak, and with a raised hand, it hit a worm nearby, and the worm rushed to a soldier next to it in pain.

The flame spread from the worm to the soldier, and there were companions around to put out the fire immediately, but they couldn't put it out. The flame even jumped to the companion's body, spreading the infection very quickly, and suddenly a sea of ​​flames engulfed him.

All the people watching this battle image held their breath, not daring to breathe.

——The scene in front of me is really familiar, it is very similar to Cheng Sheng's flame, if the screen is not turned into black and white, the color of the flame cannot be seen...

Lin Qian smiled embarrassingly, and asked Cheng Sheng: "Doctor, do you have any brothers? The ones with blood genes?"

Cheng Sheng glanced at Lin Qian gravely, but said nothing.
