Chapter 555 Going Deep Underground
Among the countless noisy sounds, a shrill voice suddenly appeared.
It seemed like countless iron pieces were intensively scraping against the glass, and a strange, tooth-aching sound was rapidly approaching...
In the back compartment, the armored Paradise Guards raised the lantern in their hands and shined a light on the strange sound approaching quickly from behind, and saw dozens of pairs of scarlet eyes flickering in the darkness.
Countless pieces of iron were pieced together to form a huge and strange face. It was unclear whether it was a human or an animal. Between the messy organs, there were more than a dozen huge blood-red crystals embedded in random patterns, like eyes. In the light and death, the light of madness that is almost condensed into substance is revealed.
Amidst the roar, countless slender blades were beating hard against the steel dome.
And the huge bodies extending crazily from the darkness seemed to have no end, entangled together, making people's scalp numb.
It was a steel centipede as huge as a train.
It's hard to imagine why such a creature-like monster was cast out of steel, or why it evolved into such a mechanical creation.
As the countless saw-toothed mouthparts opened, a cry like a baby's cry erupted.
screamed.
Just screaming caused a layer of air waves to roll in the direction of the truck.
Raymond's face was so frightened that he turned green. He stepped on the accelerator and turned the steering wheel. He narrowly missed the edge of the straight sound wave and saw that the rear of the truck disappeared silently. The remaining iron dust flew up and fell in the darkness...
"Fuck!" Raymond was stunned and looked at Huai Shi: "Can we fight this?"
"Hit your ass and run away!!!"
Huai Shi was stunned. How to fight this super giant monster that can open its mouth and fire cannons? You don't even know how to make waves, so why don't you rush up and tickle someone?
And as the giant centipede swung its head, a straight sound wave drew an arc in the air and chased after the car's butt.
A hurricane swept through.
The truck dodged awkwardly between the giant pillars, but then a continuous buzzing sound was heard, as if the tightened wire had snapped.
Just on the front of the car, several tragic scratches appeared silently.
When the front of the car turned around again, with the reflection of the light, we could see the countless iron wires scattered throughout the space, like a net, covering the entire area.
"It scared me to death. I thought it was a tripwire mine."
Raymond wiped away the cold sweat, but Huaishi felt a chill on the back of his head and swallowed: "Don't relax in a hurry, it might be worse..."
Immediately afterwards, under the illumination of the high beam, a huge gray iron-colored mechanical spider quietly emerged from among the countless nets, casting a ferocious shadow.
A foul-smelling liquid full of rust was dripping from the huge hollow abdominal pouch.
There is a tiger in front and a wolf behind.
Huai Shi slapped her face, but it didn't hit her face, only her helmet. He began to suspect that his bad luck had returned again, but then with a roar, a sound wave suddenly passed over the truck and hit the giant spider straight in the face.
In an instant, dozens of pieces of armor as big as trucks and a bunch of mechanical parts fell off from the giant spider's face.
The spider screamed, but it did not emit such an exaggerated huge wave. Instead, waves of silver-gray mist rose from its complicated legs and body, surging towards the mechanical centipede.
Once those gray mist-like substances fall on the giant pillars and steel, they will squeak, corroding everything with a large number of holes and depressions, making people's scalp numb.
And just when the two monsters were fighting for some unknown reason, the truck was already like a lucky moth, running as far as it could without looking back.
After running for who knows how many kilometers, Huai Shi still felt a premonition of death looming, wondering what other monsters were hidden around him.
But at some point, the area below illuminated by the pendant searchlight gradually changed.
It was like... rushing into a giant's factory.
Below, the assembly line as wide as a road is covered with dust. Huge and weird machines are located in the middle of the assembly line, and various giant buildings with unimaginable proportions are located between countless giant pillars.
When you look down from the top, you can see countless horizontal slide rails in mid-air, like tracks paved for trains, but there has been no traffic for who knows how long.
No matter how long we drove forward, it was difficult to see the end of the factory. The entire decaying factory was covered in dust.
There were no traces of the time when work had been done here, and there weren't even any giant monsters lurking in the darkness.
Only countless strange devices and production lines of unknown meaning remain underground.
"Where is this?"
Huai Shi climbed out of the cockpit, looked down and around, but couldn't see anything clearly.
"I see...the depth is 2,572 meters, and the location is probably between area D7 and area D8..."
Raymond confirmed again and then nodded: "It should be within the estimated range of the Iron Crystal Base, and the signal from the sub-control center should be transmitted nearby."
"But what about the sub-control center?"
Huai Shi scratched his helmet and looked around blankly, unable to understand.
Such a large sub-control center should be visible to the naked eye, but no matter how many drones are released, all that is seen is this silent factory.
There is nothing that looks like a sub-control center.
Huaishi and Raymond wandered here for six hours, circling from the inside out several times, but they didn't find any clues at all.
Even though Huai Shi mustered up the courage and dropped several bombs, there were still no signs except for slight damage to those weird giant machines.
Even though Huaishi took huge risks and sent out the Paradise Guards to search in other corners of the entire factory, there was still no news.
It would be better if it was on the ground. If it were at dusk, Huaishi could at least release the crows.
But here, there really isn’t that much fuel that can be allocated to every crow, and the candle-bearing crows are all driving Gundams, so they can’t tell the difference...
After Huai Shi's detection, instead of being clear about the scope of Nuo Da's factory, it has now expanded to the size of a very large city... and is even linked to other huge machines protruding from the domes, walls and underground. Connected together.
"I have some bad news for you."
After a good sleep, Raymond opened his eyes and said: "We still have about twenty hours of fuel reserves - but considering the return time and the impact of the external environment, we must reserve seven hours. Fuel, this is already the lowest level reserve."
"In other words, we only have thirteen hours left to explore?"
Huai Shi felt a headache, and when she thought about the situation outside, she didn't know whether the action on the other side was going smoothly, and her headache suddenly became even worse.
"You still can't contact Tiejingzuo?"
"No, the power of the vehicle-mounted transmitter is still too small, and it cannot penetrate the thickness of the ground. With such a huge number of curses, the original source signal cannot be used. Communication has basically been isolated."
Huai Shi wanted to pull out her hair more and more.
But just when he was at a loss, he saw a seed trembling silently in the bottle left in the car and pulling out a new sprout.
His movements paused.
"What's wrong?" Raymond asked.
"It's sprouted."
Huai Shi pointed at the seeds in the bottle and frowned: "When I sent out the escort team to explore before, I asked them to bring some seeds out, and then after these seeds germinate, a miniature ecological network can be formed... You can understand that I have set up a local area network here, and I will be able to detect it as soon as any external data enters."
"Oh, sirens, right?"
Raymond thought for a long time, patted his head, and found the most direct way to understand.
"Actually...that's right."
Limited by his abilities, the vitality network formed by Huai Shi was unable to provide too many changes. It took him quite a long time to be able to sense the intervention of alien species and send signals.
Raymond's reaction was to immediately turn off the external lights, and then turn on the camouflage device, completely blocking the heat source reaction of the vehicle engine and the light source coming from the interior.
The whole car seemed to be stuck to the ceiling like dust, as if it had turned into stone, and made no sound anymore.
Not long after, they heard the faint sound of an engine in the distance.
The huge aircraft roared towards them, and even faster than the aircraft were countless small drones. After searching around, they almost flew past them.
After circling several times, the huge aircraft landed soon.
An Ascended One from the Ivy League walked out of it holding a lantern, followed by two Ascending Ones who were also wearing armor.
"One is a blood kiss, the other is... grass, the other is a newcomer, I don't know him."
Raymond whispered: "The guy from Blood Kiss is the most insidious. Don't think about it just because he is carrying a big gun. This guy is best at using curses and poison... Why are you laughing?"
"It's nothing, I remembered something funny." Huai Shi covered her mouth and waved her hand: "Keep going, keep going."
"...That guy's stigma still doesn't seem to have any breakthroughs. The third-level stigma of the Celtic lineage, the evil eye, can add many kinds of curses and toxins to the enemy in conjunction with the gaze. People often fight him for inexplicable reasons. He's dead. As for the remaining one, I don't know him, so be careful. That guy from Blood Kiss has a really big temper, and those who can walk in front of him are probably a little bit stronger than him.
As for the equipment, let me take a look, ha, it is an upgraded version of the exploration formation and configuration, six locomotives, two aircraft, forty-one official members, and additionally equipped with other hell groups, but it should still be Salamanda... ...The number is conservatively estimated to be between seventy and eighty. If it is more, we cannot carry so much fuel as payment for them. "
With Raymond as a young man, he sold all the configurations and tactics of Nightmare Eye, and he even provided more than three ambush tactics for Huai Shi to choose from in a particularly sinister way.
And when Huai Shi asked him to help fight together, this guy pretended to be a driver and refused to go to the battlefield even if he was killed.
"Don't force others to make things difficult for you." Raymond waved his hand shyly: "After all, they are all former colleagues, how could they do this?"
No, you have almost revealed the details of your colleagues just now!
The two people's whispered communication soon stopped.
In the telescope, Huaishi saw that the Ivy League member who was protected inside opened the box and took out a huge glass jar filled with amber liquid, and the liquid was soaked in...
A dead head.
"What the hell?" He squinted his eyes and was about to take a closer look when he saw the man in Ivy yelling at the head in the jar, and the head... opened his eyes.
Open your mouth.
She started singing.
Sorry, I have been stuck in the past two days, and the day and night have been reversed... I have been writing until now, and this update counts as yesterday.
Next, I can finally play the new Ark event...
