The two brothers returned the same way, this time, Chen Nian came first, and Chen Ci followed.

During this period of time, Chen Nian's hard training has achieved excellent results, at least in terms of physical fitness and strength, he has made great progress.

He quickly climbed up, but the radio was interfered and could not be contacted. Chen Nian shook the rope tied around their waists from time to time, sending signals to Fu Tianhe and Shaffley above.

The light gradually appeared above, and the light of the searchlight lifted Chen Nian's spirits, and he was already very close to the entrance of the cave.

He speeds up.

However, at this moment, the dull sound of vibration came from the bottom of the feet again.

This time, he was very, very close to them, so close that Chen Nian felt that he had been thrown into the front-loading washing machine, and almost failed to hold on to the wall of the cave, and he slid down two meters.

He hurriedly grabbed the rope tightly, he couldn't continue to slide down, otherwise he would step on his brother's head directly!

In the next second, Chen Nian suddenly realized that this shock was different from the ones he encountered before. It was not caused by the collapse of a certain structure of Moonlight, but appeared just below them!

The rumbling sound shook the eardrums, and Chen Nian shouted after hearing the statement behind him: "Quick!"

When his brother's voice started, Chen Nian had already used all his strength to climb up.

The worm returned to the resting place, only to find that the broken leg had disappeared, and there was still a strange atmosphere around it, rushing towards them angrily!

No matter how strong the body is, it is still a creature adapted to bipedal walking on the ground. It is impossible to compare with the worms born for exploring caves. In just a blink of an eye, that thing got under their feet!

"Brother!" Chen Nian shouted loudly, and felt something thrown up from the narrow gap between his body and the cave wall.

Chen Nian reflexively caught the broken foot thrown by Chen Ci, and heard a loud bang behind him.

The scorching temperature scorched everything, and the huge impact pushed his body forward. For a moment, Chen Nian's ears buzzed, but he couldn't hear anything.

The adjustment system of the protective clothing reduced the huge damage caused by the explosion, but it still caused the unavoidable dull pain in the internal organs.

Chen Ci threw a small energy bomb down below, and it detonated brazenly. The permafrost layer began to collapse, burying the worm's path in an instant. Although it can only be delayed temporarily, only a dozen seconds are enough!

The crackling sound could be heard endlessly, it was the movement only produced by gravel falling on crystals or metals, and it really wasn't an ordinary worm!

The shock generated by the explosion spread to the huge surrounding area, and the entire passage became an extremely unstable existence.

Chen Nian was hit head-on by the falling gravel and permafrost, and tried his best to climb up, but it was still too slow. He watched helplessly as the entrance of the cave, which was only seven or eight meters away from them, collapsed, and the shattered soil layer directly buried the two of them!

As soon as the shock happened, Shaffley and Fu Tianhe, who realized that something was wrong, responded accordingly.

They shouted loudly to the two brothers in the cave, while tightening the rope so that they could go up faster.

However, the explosion happened so unexpectedly.

The entrance of the cave collapsed right in front of them, burying the two brothers who hadn't climbed out yet.

"September!"

"Chen Nian!"

Amidst the shouts of panic, Shaffley and Fu Tianhe knelt on the ground together and quickly dug with both hands.Rumbling vibrations came from the soles of the feet. It was so clear that some kind of huge creature was walking through the ground, and no one knew what would happen in the next second.

Fu Tianhe's mind went blank, he digged desperately, and he didn't even notice the crystal creature that was rushing over from the wall.

But Shaffley still retains some sanity at this moment, and his mental power allowed him to notice the places that he couldn't reach for the first time. He raised his hand and shot a gun.

With a crackling sound, the crystal scorpion exploded into pieces.

Muscles tense, joints turn, blood vessels dilate.

The astonishing and strange power burst out completely at this moment, Fu Tianhe was like a mole, frantically pushing aside the frozen soil with both hands.

Even through the protective clothing, his fingertips were in excruciating pain from the violent friction and pressure.

But Fu Tianhe didn't care about it at all, even if his hands were dripping with blood and his nails were all falling off, the pain caused couldn't suppress the panic in his heart.

In just a few seconds, the hole was completely dug up by Fu Tianhe, and Shaffley couldn't even put his hands on it.

He fired more than a dozen shots in succession, hitting the approaching crystal creatures without missing a beat.

"September!"

Fu Tianhe yelled loudly, his entire upper body stuck into the newly dug hole, and dragged the buried boy out in an extremely dangerous posture.

The protective suit was covered with dust, and Shaffley took this opportunity to tighten the rope and pull out the Omega behind.

His body rubbed against the unstable cave wall, and almost the moment his calf came out, the tunnel collapsed a second time.

"go!"

Shaffley yelled, and they each picked up the boy in their arms and ran towards the open place.

After a long time, Chen Nian barely recovered from the dizziness of the explosion and collapse.

In the chaos, he sensed the strangeness in his arms, raised his head, and saw Alpha's white hair.

Chen Nian:? ! ? ! ? !

"Hold the wrong person!!!" He shouted in shock.

Shaffley immediately lowered his head when he heard the sound, and stared at the newly awakened statement in his arms for two seconds in silence.

Immediately afterwards, his whole body trembled, and Fu Tianhe, who was trembling when he realized something was wrong, made the same movement at the same time.

The two Alphas stretched out their hands in unison, exchanging the Omega they held in their arms with a complex difficulty that was almost acrobatic.

As soon as Chen Ci fell into his arms, Fu Tianhe breathed a sigh of relief, no wonder he felt a little heavy when he was holding it just now, it turned out to be a mistake!

Fortunately, Chen Nian said it in time, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.

There are still a lot of crystal creatures rushing towards them. In order not to delay Shaffley's action, Chen Nian lay on Alpha's shoulder so that Shaffley's two hands can be free to shoot.

At the same time, he also tried to take out the gun, but was carried by Shaffley on his shoulder and ran, shaking so badly that even with the blessing of mental power, it was difficult to aim.

Fu Tianhe hugged Chen Ci, but he didn't seem to feel the weight at all. He ran on the uneven ground due to the collapse, and his speed was so fast that Shaffley could hardly keep up.

The worms, which were blocked by the explosion, now found their way again, and rushed towards them obliquely from below!

The dull sound of the permafrost being dug up was getting closer, and the soles of their feet kept trembling. In front of them was the boundary of the CPU side room. Shaffery knew that as long as they entered the main body of Moonlight's original building, they could temporarily escape from danger.

The metal used for load-bearing will help them temporarily hold back the worms.

Fu Tianhe rushed into the side room of the CPU first. He turned his head and saw a huge purple worm coming out of the ground and appearing behind Shaffley with a loud bang!

The mouthparts that directly chew the frozen soil are like a meat grinder with more than a dozen circles stacked on top of each other, which can crush the limbs in an instant.

Their previous guesses were all wrong. If they were really caught by this monster, they would have no chance of being swallowed whole, and would directly turn into the most easily digestible flesh and blood residue!

Fu Tianhe let go of his hand, aimed and shot, trying to slow down the speed of the worm approaching Shaffley.

Chen Ci swung his arms in a circle and tried his best to throw the energy ball.

The energy ball crossed a parabola in the air, and finally landed behind Shaffley.

Bang-!

The cyan shield unfolded, and the worm bumped into it.

The protective shield changed from cyan to orange, and soon it will turn to red when the energy is exhausted.

However, the few seconds won were enough, Shafelai rushed to Fu Tianhe's side, he put Chen Nian down, and the four of them ran towards the deeper part together.

They managed to avoid the worms, but failed to avoid the countless crystal creatures.

When the spikes stabbed at Shaffley from a tricky angle, he noticed it immediately. Alpha dodged sideways with an unbelievably sensitive posture, and at the same time smashed the amethyst creature on the bottom of his feet with a bullet.

However, there was a third one secretly dormant by the side, waiting for the critical moment when his body's center of gravity shifted and it was too late to re-stabilize.

"careful!"

Chen Nian swooped in with a very inelegant posture, blocking the way between Shaffley and the amethyst monster.

The sharp thorn that was supposed to be stuck on Shaffley's calf pierced through the protective clothing and grazed Chen Nian's arm fiercely.

"Near!"

Shaffley's pupils shrank suddenly, he stomped on the crystal creature, trampled it to pieces, and pulled Chen Nian's other shoulder to pull him up: "It's all right!"

"I'm fine!"

The pain made Chen Nian calmer. He took aim with his gun and killed the two rolling crystal balls.

Fu Tianhe shouted: "Come here!"

They didn't care to talk much, and they fought and retreated. Strange to say, there were very few crystal creatures on Fu Tianhe and Chen Ci's side, and most of these aliens went towards Shaffley and Chen Nian.

Some crystal creatures even crawled past Fu Tianhe's feet without even looking at him.

A bold idea suddenly popped up in Fu Tianhe's heart.

These things are formed by Ashes, and as an infected person, he also has a large number of Ashes in his body. Could it be that they regard themselves as the same kind?

Seeing that Shafelai and Chen Nian were surrounded, Fu Tianhe rushed into the crystal creatures.

He came to the side of the two, grabbed Shaffley's shoulders, put his other hand on Shaffley's neck, and said loudly: "Don't move, you have been kidnapped by me!"

The actions of the other three people stopped in unison.

At the same time, there are countless purple creatures around.

It turned out to be really useful!Fu Tianhe was ecstatic in his heart, he just wanted to try it, but he guessed it right!

These crystal creatures regarded him as the same kind, and now his hijacking behavior made Shaffley their own trophy.

Maybe his level in this group of creatures is quite high, so they didn't make moves like fighting.

Fu Tianhe locked Shaffley's neck with his arms, and stepped back step by step.

The blood flowing from Chen Nian's arm was the most natural repellant, and soon the four of them broke away from the siege and temporarily arrived in a safe zone.

Shaffley said to Fu Tianhe, "Thank you."

"It's okay." Fu Tianhe let him go.

Shafele didn't care to take a breather, he immediately took Chen Nian's hand and looked at the place where his protective clothing was scratched: "How is it? Is it serious?"

Chen Nian: "It's just scratched the skin, look, it's not bleeding anymore."

The protective suit was torn, and Chen Nian didn't want to repair it, since he wouldn't be infected anyway.

Wearing it now mainly needs its shockproof and decompression function.

Shaffley took out the emergency medical kit and did simple wound treatment for Chen Nian. Chen Nian was able to resist Ashes, but what if he also carried other germs?

Fu Tianhe thought about the situation just now, and felt it was very miraculous.

At the same time, there is also a sense of relaxation.

For a long time, everyone had to take his infection into consideration. Fu Tianhe often felt that he was just a burden.

Now, however, he can play his part.

If the Amethyst creature can continue to mistake him for the same kind, will he not be attacked again?

Chen Ci raised his head, and 11 meters away from them at 50 o'clock was the huge skeleton of a primitive creature.

After entering the moonlight, the large number of bones he saw made Chen Ci think of the news that the original biological density in the sea area near the moonlight has risen sharply in recent years.

Perhaps it was not by chance that the moonlight sent some kind of signal, attracting the primordial creatures to approach it.

Many creatures passed through the ice cave and reached the interior of the moonlight. They did not know what they had experienced, and finally turned into corpses all over the ground.

According to common sense, primitive creatures would cause great harm to the beacon.

The metal on the main body of the beacon is the food that attracts them. Every day, countless professionals wear diving equipment and manually clean it to drive away the primitive organisms attached to the beacon.

What does Moonlight want these primordial beings to do?

After bandaging Chen Nian, Shafele tried again to contact the Special Forces, but failed.

There was no movement from the worm side, probably after losing its target, it returned to the ground again.

"Why did you rush up suddenly?" Shafele asked Chen Nian softly.

"If I don't stop you, you will definitely be stabbed, and it will be troublesome if you get infected." Chen Nian shrugged, "I'm not afraid of this, at most it's just a little bit of blood. Something is afraid of me."

Shafele rubbed Chen Nian's head: "I don't want you to get hurt."

Chen Nian blinked: "It's better than you dying, it's okay, just a little injury."

Before Chen Nian finished speaking, there was a sudden noise behind him.

The four of them tensed up all over immediately, raised their guns and pointed them at the darkness, their mental power went as far as possible, and the moment they touched the invisible energy of the other party, they suddenly relaxed.

"Your Highness!"

The special forces members ran towards the four of them, and Fu Tianhe was also relieved to realize that they were his own.

It can be regarded as a successful convergence.

Shaffley: "How's the situation?"

Captain: "Three team members were injured, none of them were particularly serious. Serum and blocking agents were used immediately."

"Is anyone injured?" Chen Nian's eyes widened. Although he knew that bleeding and injuries are normal in a critical battle, his heart still tightened suddenly.

"It's all minor injuries, so don't worry about it, Your Royal Highness."

How could Chen Nian not be able to tell that the captain was deliberately speaking comforting words, he shook his head, looked around, and easily found the injured team member.

Chen Ci also followed.

The protective clothing of the wounded was temporarily repaired. Seeing the two brothers coming, they saluted them one after another.

"You don't have to be so polite." Chen Nian asked, "Do you feel okay?"

The one who answered him was a female Alpha, her calf was bandaged, and she smiled heroically: "No problem, there should be no accident, we all took the blocker immediately."

But judging from the state shown by several team members, this is just a comfort to Chen Nian and them to themselves.

Everyone knows that once infected with Ashes, the mortality rate is 100%.

Not to mention that they were directly stabbed and bled, and Ashes entered the bloodstream and would spread quickly throughout the body.

During the incubation period, the infected person will not notice any abnormality, but once the symptoms appear, life will be worse than death.

Chen Nian pursed his lips, responsibility, guilt, and other things mixed together, pressing heavily on his heart.

They must make every effort to find a cure, not only for Fu Tianhe, but also for the three injured players.

They were all young, they had studied in the military academy when they were teenagers, received rigorous training, entered the Special Forces with the best results, and were selected by Shaffley to participate in this mission.

When they came, they all knew what kind of danger they might be in, but they signed the consent form resolutely.

Chen Nian knew Ashes. He had personally seen Fu Tianhe's tragic state when he had an attack. His body was covered in blood and crystals pierced his eye sockets. Just thinking about it, his hands and feet became weak and his chest felt heavy.

Now, there are other people who could be like that, no, probably worse.

Fu Tianhe has a marked relationship with his elder brother, and he has obtained biological factors from his elder brother for a long time. Experts also said that his body has adapted and integrated to a certain extent.

But the three injured special forces members did not have such treatment.

She has brown eyes in front of her, and her age can be counted as a special forces member of his sister. Her body will be occupied by abnormal crystals. Hard inorganic substances will pierce her beautiful face, poke out from those bright eyes, and take away all vitality.

Just thinking about it takes my breath away.

Chen Nian briefly chatted with them, he wanted to know more about the three wounded.

The more you know, the more you will realize that any accident to one person will be a heavy blow to many relatives, friends and families.

Death has never been just a cold number in the report.

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Nian returned to Shaffley, and Alpha just discussed the next action plan with the special forces captain.

Seeing that Chen Nian was not too interested, he hugged Omega's shoulder and patted it hard.

No need to ask, Shafele knew the reason for Chen Nian's depression. If he had to say something he could do, he would speed up and try his best to find a cure.

"We also brought this." The captain of the special operations team untied the rope behind a team member, and the body of the amethyst creature fell to the ground.

After the group of weird creatures who launched a sudden attack on them withdrew, they picked up a relatively complete corpse and kept it for research, trying to figure out what it was.

The body of the crystal creature was lying on the ground. Fu Tianhe and Shaffley squatted down to examine it carefully. They only needed to clean the amethyst on the surface to find the body of the creature wrapped inside.

After normal organisms infect Ashes, the crystals will first grow in the body, control the nerves of the whole body, and manipulate the host's every move like a parasite.

When the time is right, it grows to break through the body surface, blooms in clusters, and spreads in a large area, looking like a strange organism made entirely of amethyst.

Fu Tianhe hissed, and couldn't help being afraid.

After this thing goes deep into the brain, it can indeed control the host's thinking. If I hadn't been rescued by Chen Ci and Chen Nian, I guess it would have become a similar thing.

The good news, though, is that the Ashes didn't show any new traits beyond their comprehension.

Follow-up actions are still needed, and it is not convenient to carry such a big thing. Shaffley and the special operations captain jointly dissected it, divided it into pieces and carried it to many team members, and provided it to the research institute to make samples when they went out.

As the real infected person, Fu Tianhe went to comfort the three injured people.

No matter how they behaved indifferently, they must have been extremely flustered. From the moment they became soldiers, they had put their life and death aside, but being infected with Ashes was far more terrifying than being shot and killed.

Infected people will suffer extremely cruel torture before death. In severe pain, they are forced to watch their own flesh and blood melt soberly.

No one can accept it safely.

Shaffley said in a low voice: "They also found a relatively complete primitive creature on the way here. Let's go and have a look later."

Chen Nian: "A complete primitive creature?"

Shafele hummed, and showed Chen Nian the photo taken by the special commander. It was a part of the body of some kind of giant creature. Even if the camera was zoomed far away, it still almost filled the whole frame.

Its skin is dark blue, covered with metal scales, near the abdomen, the scales become smaller, with barb-like hooks extending from the ends, which can savagely stab into nearby objects, and there are even sinister and vicious blood grooves.

The huge body of the monster was embedded in the ground, and penetrated two walls. The special operations team explored along its body as much as possible, and found that this thing was countless times bigger than they imagined.

In the end, the special operations team chose to temporarily record its coordinates, and went to find Shaffley first, and joined the four of them.

The photo is only a part of the creature, there are many more places hidden under the ruins and floors that have not been explored.

"Death... I think it looks familiar." Chen Nian frowned and thought, and quickly found similar objects from the memory bank, and there were still two of them.

"Shafele, do you still remember the third Sea King we met when we entered the Electric Fantasy Kingdom for the last time?"

"Maxiney?" Of course Shaffley remembered that it was the Sea Emperor he personally participated in the battle.

As a whole, Maxine looks like an eight-legged lizard, with a broad back like a mountain, and can freely put away the scales all over his body, revealing the soft, almost fluid skin underneath.

Its dozens of eyes flow on the skin, allowing it to see clearly in any direction.

Chen Nian nodded: "Although the colors are different, the details of the tail can be compared, and I have seen such a mechanical scale structure with barbs in my father's manuscript."

"A Neptune inside the beacon?" Just saying this sentence made Shaffley feel outrageous.

"Let's go and have a look." Chen Nian looked around and found Chen Ci.

Chen Ci was squatting in an inconspicuous corner, studying the purple crystals growing in the bones.

"What are you looking at, bro." Chen Nian went over and asked him.

"Ashes grow most vigorously in places with the fewest bones." Chen said, "The more corpses of primitive creatures, the fewer their numbers, and their growth will not be good. Near the three large primitive creatures we saw before, There are almost none, and it stands to reason that the flesh and blood of living organisms should nourish them."

Chen Nian: "Are you trying to say that there may be factors that inhibit Ashes in these primitive creatures?"

"It's just a rough guess." Chen Ci stood up and patted the dust on his hands, "What were you talking to Shaffley just now?"
