Chapter 675 Underground Fortress

In order to ensure safety, Vivian threw another little bat down. This time she let the little bat fly down with a small piece of protective crystal hanging on it. Seeing such a little thing flying into the passage dangling with a piece of crystal hanging on it, Hao Ren was really worried that it would hit the wall, but fortunately, it successfully reached the bottom.

There is a world of tunnels extending in all directions under the metal pipe, with a complex structure like an ant nest. Based on the blood stains remaining on the pipe, Vivian found the route that the Stitch Monster took when it came out, and found many monsters that died in the pipe: they collapsed. Together, a large area of ​​skin on the upper body was burned, and the cause of the burning was a short-circuit fault in the black discharge vest on the body. It seemed that the electromagnetic pulse bomb Hao Ren had thrown earlier had an extraordinary effect, not only blowing up the mechanical control part of the metal pipe , also killed a large number of monsters that were rushing out, and let them block part of the exit.

But Vivian's little bat also discovered that the sound of mechanical friction was coming from some forks in the pipeline. Operations there may be gradually returning to work. If this pipeline system has the function of self-maintenance and cleaning, then other monsters should soon find it. New outlets sprung up.

Hao Ren decisively decided to rush in before those pipeline systems resumed operation. In order to give everyone enough time and to cause more trouble to the underground facility, he threw several electromagnetic pulse bombs under a pipeline.

After a series of muffled sounds came from deep underground, Hao Ren nodded: "It's cleaned up, let's go down. I'll take the lead."

Uruk frowned. This thing in front of him was something he had never seen before. He instinctively felt that there was a disgusting smell coming from the depths of the tunnel. But he did not hesitate or flinch. In any case, there was a group of unclean guys digging such a hole deep in the werewolf's sacred mountain, and he could not leave it alone. The Wolf King next to him turned his head and looked around: "Are you ready to go down? I don't have to go down, right?"

Uruk stared at his mount: "How can you retreat at this time?"

The Wolf King bared his teeth: "Look at my four claws! How do you want me to use these to dig out pipes?"

Uruk suddenly felt that what his mount said made sense, and he was speechless.

"You and the other wolves are guarding outside," Hao Ren ordered the Wolf King. "I'll leave a communicator for you. If there is any movement, let us know immediately. Just talk to it. In addition, other soldiers should be there later. I just came here and asked them to follow them down, we will leave someone below to take care of them - Ofra, is that no problem?"

Hao Ren felt comfortable being the captain, so he habitually gave instructions on what was to come. Only after he finished speaking did he remember that there was a real commander here. Ofra waved her hand carelessly: "Let's do it this way. I've discovered it. Now you are very familiar with this situation. I want to take command but I feel like I can't do it."

Hao Ren hung the communicator around the Wolf King's neck. After confirming that everything was ready, he was the first to jump into the deep and dark mechanical pipe.

The pipe slopes downward, but the slope is still enough for people to walk. As long as they are careful under their feet, they will not fall down. Moreover, the inside of the pipe is wider than expected. Adults can almost stand upright in it: it is not so much a pipe as it is a pipe. Rather, they are some cylindrical corridors. As Hao Ren walked, he observed the metal pipe wall around him. The metal on it was obviously not cast by Horleta's local technology, and its fine structure far exceeded the technical level of this planet. The more he looked, the more frightened he became: the existence of these high-tech things can only mean one thing, that is, there is far more hidden in the Holy Mountain than just the lair of the Huiyao Sect!

Does a cult group formed by local indigenous people need such a high-tech alien base?

"That brain monster has been lurking on this planet for at least thousands of years." Vivian was also thinking about similar questions. "This underground base should have been built slowly by it, which shows that it at least has a certain amount of information on hand. Industrial equipment.”

Hao Ren nodded silently and said nothing.

The situation has far exceeded his initial guess. He initially thought that only one brain monster came to this planet by chance and organized a group of local indigenous people to form a return sect. All of this should have happened in the past few years. , but now the facts can be said to be completely different from his speculation: the brain monster has been dormant in this world for thousands of years. It has built an astonishing underground base in this holy mountain, and the Returning Sect...

I'm afraid it's just an insignificant small group attached to this underground base.

"There is strong interference here," the voice from the data terminal awoke Hao Ren from his thoughts. "The source of interference is still deeper. But I don't know if it is the power of the base or something else."

Hao Ren replied casually: "Anyway, let's go and have a look. There are no more choices anyway."

Yzaks bent down and followed the team at the end. It was really hard for him to walk here. Elizabeth looked at it and couldn't stand it: "Dad, why didn't you shrink your size a little bit more?" ?”

Yzaks replied in a sullen voice: "Who told me that when I first transformed into a human form, I happened to meet a Quebis barbarian. I thought he was the standard human height...I can't change it now even if I want to. ”

Not long after the team advanced in this strange alloy pipe, they encountered the first fork in the road that Vivian had discovered. Lily pointed at the intersection and shouted: "Look over there!"

I saw several foul-smelling flesh and blood monsters lying dead in one of the pipes one after another. The black vests on their bodies burst open due to circuit overload. Their entire upper bodies were almost cooked, and around them could be seen The traces left after the walls of the pipe have been ablated by a strong electric arc. This is the work of an electromagnetic pulse bomb.

Hao Ren endured his nausea and stepped forward to open the black vest of one of the monsters. The thing had been broken into pieces, and one piece fell off after a slight flip. Hao Ren discovered that this thing was made of layers of material that looked like flexible plastic. The outer layer was inlaid with black crystals, and the inner layer was filled with a large number of circuits. When worn on one side of the body, you could see many metallic cold lights. The stinging needle structure, if you guessed correctly, these stinging needles should penetrate directly into the monster's muscles: they are the power source and control secret of these flesh and blood monsters.

"It's a combination of biology and machinery, and it looks like an industrial product, produced on an assembly line," the data terminal quickly judged. "It's not the same as the 'knight' I saw at the banquet in the royal capital last time."

"The problem is where the 'materials' of these monsters come from," Lily frowned, and poked the arm of a suture monster with the power of fire. "It looks like they are pieced together with human organs, and many of the organs are still there. There are signs of being modified... This would require a lot of corpses, right?”

Nangong Wuyue murmured cautiously: "Could it be those missing pagans?"

Hao Ren immediately felt something in his heart. He remembered that he had never met a return believer since he entered the mountain. He suddenly felt that this possibility could not be ignored: "This... is very possible!"

"It's unbelievable," Ofra frowned, "Then the evil devil turned all his followers into such monsters?"

"Human beings are not his followers at all," Hao Ren threw away the fragments of his vest, stood up and clapped his hands, "The brain monster and the eldest son have the same belief, they both have one belief, that is, all life should die, but the brain monster It's smarter, it will just try to make the prey kill each other first."

Y'zaks stepped forward, waved his hand at a Stitch Monster, and saw a vague and translucent thing in his hand. The thing struggled violently in his palm until it dissipated, while Y'zaks shook his hand. Shaking his head: "But these heretics were transformed into monsters consciously and voluntarily."

Everyone was silent for a while, and in the end Ofra could only sigh: "Incomprehensible faith."

Ofra left two soldiers at the first fork to pick up the following team, and then ordered to continue moving forward. Everyone avoided the pipeline that might lead to the "Flesh Monster Factory" and chose a direction where there was less blood odor permeating out. As they went deeper, more lights appeared in the passage, which seemed to prove that they were heading in the right direction: they were approaching the deep area of ​​this underground facility.

Just when the team reached another fork in the road, a sound of mechanical activity suddenly came from nearby.

Lily has extremely good hearing. She immediately turned her pointed ears to the direction of the sound: "Over there!"

Yzaks immediately stepped forward: "Everyone - bang!"

Elizabeth looked up and found that her father's head was stuck in the ceiling. She sighed: "So Dad, why didn't you get smaller in size?"

Yzaks's voice came from behind a layer of steel: "Stop talking, let me pull it out first..."
