First generation female Alpha
Chapter 124 Accident
Although this planet is suitable for human habitation, the air quality is far inferior to those planets that have been transformed or are naturally suitable for ordinary people to live in. The atmosphere on the surface of the planet is slightly thin, which will cause a certain burden on the human respiratory system, and it is not suitable for long-term Residential, but a short stay is fine.
Although Zhong Liuying has not undergone systematic training in the army, he is an Alpha with stronger physical fitness than ordinary people after all, so he didn't feel much discomfort when he was on the ground, but when he followed the two female Alphas into the cave, Obviously felt a sense of burden.
The cave is filled with a stench from biological secretions, mixed with air that is thinner than that on the ground, making people feel as if they are on the verge of suffocation.
And I don't know if it's because of the "neurotoxin" that Qu Yao said before, after entering the cave for 10 minutes, Zhong Liuying felt a burst of blackness in front of his eyes, as if there were signs of poisoning.
Just when he wanted to report the situation to the captain, Cen Zhao took out two masks from his bag and threw one to him.
"Put it on, there's something wrong with the air here."
Zhong Liuying took it quickly and put it on before he was really suffocated, and then felt that his whole body was rescued.Not only did the nauseating stench disappear, but even the symptoms of dizziness and brain swelling were relieved a lot.
Cen Zhao also put on the mask, then looked at Qu Yao: "Can you handle it yourself?"
She only brought two copies of all the equipment, and she couldn't take care of the "third party" Qu Yao, so she could only rely on herself.
Qu Yao dared to come here alone, of course he was also prepared, he gestured to her not to worry, and also took out a mask, at first glance it looked very similar to what Cen Zhao and the others were wearing.
The three of them continued to descend, taking each step carefully.
Although the passage in the cave has a slope, not every place is suitable for pedestrians, but Cen Zhao's miniature mech comes with tools, so it is not afraid of this difficulty. The only thing that worries the three is that the underground passage has many forks and bugs. Even if the portable intelligence marks the route, there is no guarantee that it will return to the ground safely in the end.
However, what reassured the three of them was that Alpha's pheromone had a very obvious effect on repelling bugs. They hadn't encountered any bugs since they entered the cave, which made them think that there were no bugs in front of them. However, when they restrained the pheromone The insects swarming up in front of the passage made Zhong Liuying scream in fright, and almost slipped and fell down the passage, but it was Cen Zhao who gave him a hand to regain his footing.
If the previous performance was still in the category of ordinary people, Zhong Liuying's performance this time was really a bit extreme, and attracted the attention of the two sisters, and his face turned red when he saw it directly.
Cen Zhao glanced at the end of the passage where the worms could no longer be seen, and asked Zhong Liuying curiously, "Are you afraid of worms?"
Zhong Liuying's first reaction was to deny it, but he shook his head halfway, and answered honestly: "Yes." Then he explained in a low voice, "When I was young, my friends made a prank with bugs, and they put a layer in my birthday cake. Although the worms are edible, biting them still caused me a psychological shadow. Since then, I have felt uncomfortable when I saw the worms, not because I was afraid, but because of physiological diarrhoea.”
As soon as Qu Yao heard it, a picture appeared in his mind, but after all, he was a person who grew up with all kinds of weird materials, so he didn't feel the same, but showed an expression of interest. Cen Zhao saw at a glance, The corner of his mouth twitched twice, he gave her a look, and suppressed the "what smell" she hadn't asked yet.
Cen Zhao raised his hand and patted Zhong Liuying's shoulder: "This trip has been hard for you, if possible, get rid of this habit of yours here, otherwise your future work may be affected."
Zhong Liuying was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he didn't know what to think of. He nodded solemnly with a heroic expression, looked at the front of the passage, and took a deep breath.
It was probably a coincidence that after the three of them stopped for a while, they walked forward again. Just after a turn, the road ahead became more rugged, and the color of the rock wall also changed obviously. It seems that the position they were standing just now is at a dividing point, and there are two completely different worlds before and after.
Because of this change, the three stopped again.
Qu Yao found a more suitable position, squatted down, checked the geological conditions here, even took off his mask to breathe the air, grabbed a little soil on the ground and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it carefully.
After sneezing, Qu Yao put on his mask again, pointed to the unknown area in front of him and said, "The soil quality here is similar to the soil quality of the mound outside, but the content of unknown substances is less, that is to say, there is no more unknown material here. Going forward, it should be the activity area of that kind of flower insects, if that kind of flower insects have a high status in their hierarchical society, going forward here, it may be the core activity range of these insects."
After listening to her words, Cen Zhao carefully observed the surrounding situation, and after confirming that their pheromone dispelling effect was still effective, he raised his hand to signal everyone to move forward, while paying attention to Zhong Liuying's state distractedly.
Mental problems cannot be solved easily with just a few sentences. Zhong Liuying looks fearless on the surface and has great potential abilities, but he is also "vulnerable" when facing psychological weaknesses. If he is not careful After the fire, his mentality collapsed. Where would she find another assistant with spatial abilities?
Fortunately, Zhong Liuying has adapted well. I don’t know if it’s because she hasn’t seen bugs all the time. At least her feet don’t slip anymore. Every step is very steady, and the release of pheromone is also very stable. She doesn’t need to worry about it for the time being. .
The three of them walked forward for a distance of 400 meters in a straight line. They felt that the surrounding temperature was getting higher and higher, and the concentration of unknown gases and toxins contained in the air was gradually increasing. Even the masks produced by the base could not fully guarantee It was safe to breathe, Cen Zhao decisively called to stop.
"Going forward, we need higher-end equipment. Of course, hard resistance can also resist for a period of time. The problem is that we don't know what else is ahead."
The data sent back by the detector she released shows that this place seems to be just a simple insect nest. There is nothing special about it except that it is very large. The larger area is beyond the detection range, and because the insects relationship, and cannot detect farther, otherwise the detector will suffer losses.
The equipment on her body is all personal high-quality equipment for individual soldiers, and there are very few backups. Unless it is necessary, it must be well protected if it can be well protected.
Cen Zhao thought that after she finished speaking, it would be Qu Yao who would answer, but it was Zhong Liuying who was afraid of insects who didn't want to speak.
He said: "In this case, let's collect the pheromone and see the bugs."
Cen Zhao raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Aren't you afraid?"
Zhong Liuying trembled very obviously, and smiled dryly: "I'm afraid, but it's okay if I'm mentally prepared, and I'll try my best to control the range of pheromones, so as not to let them get close."
Qu Yao gave him a thumbs up: "That's right, the young man has a bright future, he deserves to be the one who follows Pomegranate."
So the three of them took advantage of this time to slowly restrain the pheromone while chatting.
"Where did those two people go before?" Qu Yao was very curious about this, "They seem to be professional treasure hunters. If they have professional equipment and pheromones to open the way, they may have reached the core of the lair by now. ?”
"Maybe." Cen Zhao didn't care much about the stranger's situation, after all, her purpose of coming here was not to open up wasteland.
And because of Uncle Yan's relationship, she guessed that this place had already been opened, but it was not made public for some purpose, and all she had to do was to find out Uncle Yan's purpose for letting her come here.
From the current point of view, for her, the value point may be in those bugs. After all, the characteristics of these bugs are very consistent with her profession. Compared with treasure hunting, digging deep into the development value of bugs is more developmental.
But in this case, the problem arises again.
Since Uncle Yan knows that worms are of research value to her, they are equally valuable to other mecha engineers and mechanical designers. No matter how confident she is, she knows that with her current strength, she is not among the top group of people in the entire interstellar world. Why did this opportunity fall on her?
Thinking of this, Cen Zhao suddenly realized that he was missing a piece of the puzzle, so he didn't investigate further, buried all doubts in his heart, and only focused on the present moment.
At this moment, Cen Zhao's ears suddenly caught a slight sound.
"and many more!"
The other two looked at her at the same time.
"Did you hear the sound of water?"
Qu Yao listened attentively, while Zhong Liuying raised his hand to make a trumpet shape by his ear.
Two seconds later, the two said at the same time that they had heard it too.
Cen Zhao suddenly had an ominous feeling, as if some danger was approaching, his whole body was stimulated by this feeling, and a voice in his ear kept warning her - "Get out of here quickly! Get back quickly!"
Cen Zhao made a decisive decision: "There is a problem ahead! Release the pheromone to the maximum, and then we will go back! Move fast!"
Zhong Liuying reacted the fastest, turned around in the direction he came and went, and retreated quickly with both hands and feet.
Qu Yao hesitated for two seconds, glanced regretfully at the unexplored front, and then turned to follow.
In just these two seconds, she was five or six bodies behind Cen Zhao and the others.
The surrounding terrain was complex and there were many caves. With such a small distance, she almost lost track of the two people in front of her.
After 5 minutes passed, Cen Zhao's premonition receded slightly, and he no longer felt that sense of danger, but new problems followed one after another.
They got lost.
According to the speed of their retreat, 5 minutes is enough time for them to go to a slightly peripheral position. At least the air quality should have recovered, but it didn't.
Obviously, the direction is correct, and you can occasionally see road signs along the way, but all three of them know that this is not the exit direction.
Cen Zhao's expression was a little dignified, and he raised his hand to touch the rock wall: "The road here is changing."
Qu Yao's expression was equally dignified: "But I'm sure that what we're stepping on is non-biological matter, it's not alive, so the change should be caused by external force."
Zhong Liuying raised his hand to cover the back of his neck, his voice trembling: "I seem...to know what's going on."
Cen Zhao and Qu Yao said at the same time, "What's going on?"
Although Zhong Liuying has not undergone systematic training in the army, he is an Alpha with stronger physical fitness than ordinary people after all, so he didn't feel much discomfort when he was on the ground, but when he followed the two female Alphas into the cave, Obviously felt a sense of burden.
