Chapter 636 Going Deep Into Hell! (1/2)

"Incredible."

Boulder City.

Standing on the giant wall, Ibers stared in the direction of the city center, his face filled with incredible surprise.

I saw that the giant tree-shaped spore cloud was restlessly restless, as if the leafy crown of the tree was shaking in the violent storm.

It is clear.

Someone pissed the guy off.

The surprised expression gradually turned into a look of interest, and Ibers, who stopped to admire it, couldn't help but click his tongue.

"This is the first time in such a long time that this guy has lost his temper... How many years ago was the last time?"

Was it twenty years ago or thirty years ago?

In his impression, a group of shelter residents with abnormal minds seemed to have been there, and their minds became even more abnormal after coming out of there.

It seems to be Vault 117?

But it doesn’t matter.

"Now there's something good to watch!"

Ibbers's eyes flashed with the excitement of watching the excitement, as if he was waiting for a long-awaited movie.

Rivers of blood!

Hurry!

…

It was not only Ibers from the giant stone military industry who was watching the direction of the city center, but also a scientific research ship that was keeping a safe distance of tens of kilometers from Qingquan City to peek at the screen.

At this moment, Yang Kai was collecting data about the slime mold mother nest through the equipment on the scientific research ship, while maintaining contact with the Research Department of the college headquarters, reporting the situation in Qingquan City to his superiors in real time.

"The alliance's small ground force has entered the city center... Yes, it is the force composed of awakened people. They very cleverly used a series of operations to divert the evolved bodies along the North Second Ring Road, avoiding the exchange of fire and entering that Life is forbidden."

"However, their progress didn't seem to go well. The decoy unit ran into the Titan left behind by the 111th Orbital Airborne Division. The team that penetrated deep into the city center came into contact with the mother nest as soon as it landed."

"Speaking of this, I'm also curious about how they locked onto that guy's position so quickly."

Looking at the scanned image projected on the holographic screen, Yang Kai's face was filled with weird expressions.

The exploration force led by the Post-War Reconstruction Committee had searched for the location of the nest a long time ago, but the specific location of that guy had never been found.

After all, the city center of Qingquan City is not a point on the map, but a rather large area. Not only is the surface a mess, the underground is even more complicated, like a three-dimensional maze.

The mutant slime mold mother nest in Qingquan City hides in that maze, releasing spores to the surface through underground transportation networks and urban drainage systems.

It is indeed possible to analyze the general area where the mother nest is located through the difference in spore concentration, but it is almost impossible to locate the specific coordinates of the mother nest by this method alone.

Only by dedicating a sufficient number of ground troops to conduct a carpet-like search of the area where the nest is located can it be possible to find that guy.

The Ministry of Defense responsible for exploring the center of Qingquan had suffered heavy casualties, but it only managed to get close to Him.

But now, judging from the changes in the spore cloud in Qingquan City, it is obvious that those guys are close to the mother nest and have even touched it.

If it was a coincidence, it would be too much.

Yang Kai was puzzled.

How on earth did they do it?

…

To be honest, Fang Chang did not expect that according to the coordinates provided by Xiao Yu, they would land directly on top of the mother nest.

What he didn't expect was that less than half a minute after landing, they were swallowed by a bloody mouth dozens of meters wide.

"...%￥#x-on:!"

The Luoyu people flying in the sky were dumbfounded.

A huge abyss-like pit suddenly appeared on the empty ruins!

The scarlet fungus stretched out from the ground like the mouth of a piranha and closed together. It only took a moment to swallow the two ten-man squads of the Burning Corps!

The entire ground was shaking violently, like boiling water.

"Old Bai!"

Hang in there, brother!

Luo Yu gritted his teeth, turned the plane around, and aimed the cannon at the closed mouth.

In a short roar, dozens of tracers poured down on the closed mouth like hail, splashing large amounts of gravel and broken fungi.

"Ugh——!"

A dull and long mournful cry sounded from the ruins, just like the air whistle of a ship.

Looking at the black blood and tissue remains scattered on the ground, Luo Yu realized that his attack was effective, and couldn't help but feel happy.

However, just when he pulled up the nose of the plane and turned around to prepare for another round of strafing, he saw that the closed giant mouth was slowly sinking toward the bottom of the ground.

This guy wants to escape!

Seeing that it was almost too late, Luo Yu quickly stopped pulling up, turned the plane's nose in advance and turned back.

However, the brood seemed to be ready. Almost at the same time as he turned the plane, a dense black shadow suddenly emerged from a half-collapsed building not far away and headed straight in his direction. Come on!

Look carefully, it turns out to be a quadcopter drone that has been eroded by slime mold!

Even if the number is small, there must be thousands of them!

Seeing this scene, Luo Yu's expression suddenly changed.

Good guy.

Is this even okay? !

"Ugh!"

Xiao Yu's anxious reminder came to his ears, and Luo Yu, who had discovered the threat in advance, suddenly pulled up the nose of the plane.

Almost a second before the collision with the drone group, the Lingyun fighter he was driving drew an upward arc in the air, almost brushing the edge of the dense black shadows and pulling away.

"Oh my god... this slime mold has become a spirit!"

Although it was in the game, Luo Yu was still scared out of his wits because the experience was too real.

The huge mouth that had stretched out from the ground before had disappeared, and there was only a large pit sunken downward on the flat surface.

Luo Yu's heart sank slightly, wondering what the situation of his teammates was.

"Eh..." (Something... is wrong.)

Hearing the voice in his ear, Luo Yu asked hurriedly.

"Did you find anything?"

"... Eh!" (... He has set his sights on us, we'd better leave here quickly!)

Hearing this, Luo Yu was stunned.

He has set his sights on us...

We have been fighting for so long, isn't this obvious?

Perhaps Xiao Yu's expression was too euphemistic, and he did not realize the deep meaning contained in this sentence.

And at this moment, the change suddenly happened!

The tail flame of the engine nozzle suddenly swayed, and it suddenly went out like a candle blown out by the wind, and the upward-pulling aircraft also lost power.

Luo Yu's face changed completely. This situation was exactly the same as when a jet plane went out of power at a very high altitude.

However, this place was less than a thousand meters from the surface of the earth. How could it be possible?

Wait, that spore that sucks away oxygen!

Luo Yu, who suddenly reacted, shouted "I'm so angry" in his heart, but the drone group behind him had already caught up.

It is absolutely impossible for a drone that relies on rotors to catch up with a fixed-wing aircraft.

But with the loss of power and the speed constantly decreasing, his car almost became a live target hanging in the air.

Seeing that the dense drone cluster was about to catch up, and the engine was unable to re-ignite, he could only bite the bullet and turn the nose of the aircraft, regain speed under the traction of gravity, and rush up to the whistling drone cluster.

"Die for me!!!"

Looking at the surging drones, Luo Yu roared and pulled the trigger to the bottom with his index finger.

"Puh!"

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the cannon with flames stabbed into the dense black cloud like a bayonet.

A large number of drones were torn into pieces by the cannons, and the orange-yellow tracers actually cleared a vacuum zone in the tidal sea of ​​drones!

However, there were too many of them.

A mere 20mm cannon was not enough to shoot down all the drones that rushed up.

Soon, the fish that slipped through the net crashed into his plane, and then stuck directly to his fuselage like taffy.

The weight of the Lingyun fighter suddenly increased several times, and more and more drones entangled with it, almost covering the entire cockpit.

After firing the last bullet in the cannon, Luo Yu fired the two missiles hanging under the wing before the wing was completely entangled, and made an emergency landing in the direction of the nuclear bomb crater.

That was the only possible landing place.

The nuclear explosion 200 years ago cleared all obstacles in the entire area.

Just as he was about to land successfully, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a black shadow blowing towards him.

It was a waving tentacle.

Like the previous giant mouth, it drilled out of the soil and waited for him to rush up.

He held the joystick tightly and stepped on the rudder almost instinctively.

The oncoming tentacle almost brushed the left side of the hatch and hit the left forward-swept wing of the Lingyun fighter.

The only advantage of goblin technology was completely revealed at this moment. The forward-swept wing made of stainless steel was like a sharp razor, cutting the tentacle that drilled out of the ground into two pieces.

The remaining half of the tentacle twisted painfully on the ground like a cut earthworm, and black slurry gushed out from the broken end like a fountain, spreading all over the ground.

However, Luo Yu had no time to rejoice.

This beautiful cut not only cut off a tentacle of the mother nest, but also made his vehicle completely lose balance, flipped sideways to the center of the nuclear bomb crater, and broke the two pairs of beautiful forward-swept wings in the process of rolling.

However, thanks to this, a large piece of fruiting body attached to his vehicle was also crushed into pieces in the rolling, leaving a pile of wreckage until the rolling fuselage completely stopped.

At this moment, the entire Lingyun fighter plane had only a bare cabin left, and the stainless steel fuselage was pitted and pitted, and there was almost no intact shell.

If it were an ordinary pilot, it would be a medical miracle to leave a whole body after this series of operations.

However, Luo Yu, who was driving the plane, was not an ordinary pilot after all, and could not even be considered an ordinary human being.

Just two seconds after the heartbeat stopped, the reddish fungus attached to his chest suddenly shrank inward twice.

About half a minute passed.

The unconscious Luo Yu suddenly coughed twice, choked out a few mouthfuls of blood mixed with minced meat, and woke up from his coma.

"Eh!"

A surprised cry came from his ear, and he knew that Xiao Yu had saved him again.

"Thank you..."

"Eh!" (I'm glad you're okay.)

Squeezing a smile from his face, Luo Yu took a deep breath and unfastened the seat belt pressing on his chest.

Looking at the half-handsome face reflected in the cockpit, he extended his index finger and touched the light red fungus, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This buff of accelerated recovery is indeed useful, and the only drawback is that it looks less and less like a human.

But it's not ugly.

Maybe it's because he has been watching it for a long time. He was not used to the shape of Xiaoyu's fruiting body, but after spending a long time with it, he felt that it was actually okay, and sometimes even thought it was quite handsome.

On the one hand, it may be because his own aesthetics are also changing imperceptibly, and on the other hand, it may be because Xiaoyu is moving closer to human aesthetics.

As a completely different form of life, in a sense, it is the same as the bionic people and AI living in the alliance-it is slowly assimilated by the society of the alliance.

Just like the kittens and puppies near human settlements more than 10,000 years ago.

Cooperation is always easier than confrontation to survive in this dangerous universe.

But that may be a long time in the future...

Xiao Yu is the only exception among the millions of evolutionary routes of all mutant slime molds. The monster entrenched in the center of Qingquan City is not a docile kitten or puppy.

It is a vicious wolf that grinds its teeth and sucks blood!

The cockpit of the plane was stuck. Luo Yu tried to open the hatch, but found that it did not move at all. He found a window breaker from the toolbox under the ejection seat and smashed it hard on the cockpit glass.

After breaking the glass, he grabbed a submachine gun, climbed out of the cockpit, and loaded the gun.

This is the center of the nuclear bomb crater.

There is a bare wilderness all around, and the edge of the crater can be seen in the distance.

Just as he tried to contact the command center through the onboard radio, the ground suddenly shook violently again.

Luo Yu's face changed slightly.

Just when he thought that the mother nest was going to use the same trick again and swallow him, he saw a cloud of dust suddenly rising in the open space about 20 meters away from him.

A huge mouth shaped like a piranha suddenly broke through the soft soil like a whale jumping out of the water.

Luo Yu's initial reaction was that this guy didn't find his position correctly and bit off, so he immediately set up the small water pipe in his hand and prepared to fire, but soon found that this guy's condition was a little abnormal.

The huge mouth made a long painful cry, twisted its body in the rolling dust, and kept spitting out sand and gravel as if it was retching.

Seeing this scene, Luo Yu was stunned.

"Is it?! What's going on!?"

Is this...

Is it a stomachache?

At present, it seems to be like this. The huge mouth is still vomiting, as if it wants to pump all the sand and soil underground to the surface.

Seeing the rubble and dirt from the blowout coming towards him, Luo Yu hurriedly dodged backwards.

And just at this moment, he glimpsed from the corner of his eye that in the flying dust, it seemed that a figure flew out and fell heavily on the open space 5 meters away from him.

The man was holding a short axe covered with black blood in his hand, lying in a big letter shape.

After a while, with a snap, something fell next to him, and it seemed to be a broken hand.

Luo Yu hurried over, took off the man's helmet and saw that it was Lao Bai.

Seeing Luo Yu's face, Lao Bai smiled a little embarrassedly and said embarrassedly.

"It's a bit embarrassing, brother, don't laugh at me... Well, how did you come down?"

And his face looked like this.

Luo Yu smiled bitterly.

"Don't mention it... This mother nest has one plug-in after another, and none of them are the same. I have been flying for so many years, but this is the first time I have been competing with such an outrageous thing."

"It's really outrageous..."

Getting up from the ground, Lao Bai reached out and wiped his face covered with black blood, but because his hands were also covered with black mucus, his face became even dirtier.

Seemingly realizing that this was a futile act, he reluctantly gave up cleaning his face and went over to pick up the severed hand of Brother Kuangfeng.

This guy is the most unlucky.

As soon as the giant mouth closed, it was pierced from bottom to top by a tentacle, and the whole person was left with this indigestible mechanical hand.

Since the establishment of the Burning Legion, they have participated in countless battles of all sizes.

I am afraid that this is the first time that there have been such tragic casualties.

Seeing that the highest-level and most powerful power-type animals in the entire server were so embarrassed, Luo Yu swallowed his saliva involuntarily.

"What on earth did you encounter?"

"Just as you saw, we were swallowed by that thing." Looking at the twisting giant mouth, Lao Bai grinned at the damaged corner of his mouth, "This guy probably wants to open our brains to see what's inside, so he takes us deep underground... But this beast obviously underestimated us."

To be honest, they were indeed caught off guard, but it was just caught off guard.

Just after Kuangfeng was killed in seconds, the others reacted quickly, focusing their attention on the ground and the surroundings, and firing at the closed mouth with their rifles.

After discovering that ordinary rifle bullets could not penetrate the mouth of the mother nest, Fang Chang took the lead in pulling out the Dawn Longbow and shot a charged explosive arrow towards his head.

The arrow that detonated after being inserted into the fungus produced a good killing effect. The nest that devoured them quickly showed symptoms of indigestion, and the inner wall of the digestive bag shook violently.

Everyone's morale was immediately boosted, and everyone else also used their own skills to bring the equipment they carried and greeted the scarlet bacteria around them.

The most ruthless among them is undoubtedly Brother Ye Shi.

Previously, this guy was transformed into a mechanical body by researchers from the academy. The digestive juices from the brood had no effect on him, and his defensive power was unbelievably strong.

A tentacle poked his crotch, and the force that could stab a person through him did nothing except push him up.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Shi hugged the tentacle with quick eyes and hands, activated the electrode installed on him by a certain researcher, and applied electrotherapy directly to the digestive system of the brood.

The instantaneous output of current almost drained the battery of his exoskeleton, but the effect achieved was astonishing.

After receiving a shot of one hundred thousand volts, the walls of the nest twitched as if taking laxatives, and then the gravel and sand under everyone's feet began to spurt upward.

This move is obviously unplayable.

The brood has given up on assimilating them and wants to spit them out of its body.

Just as the two of them were talking, Fang Chang also spurted out from the huge mouth and fell not far away from the two of them.

"Holy shit, Fang Chang? Are you out too?"

Seeing Fang Chang getting up from the ground while cursing, a trace of surprise was written on Lao Bai's face.

Just after Fang Chang shot an arrow, he was targeted by a string of tentacles. He thought this guy was already dead.

"It was almost over..."

Taking off his helmet with a broken mask, Fang Chang looked at the twisted giant mouth with a gloomy expression.

He almost collapsed as soon as he landed on the ground. After playing this game for so long, this was the first time he felt so embarrassed.

Lao Bai walked next to him, stretched out his hand to pull him up from the ground, and asked.

"Where's Ye Shi?"

Recalling the scene he saw before he was spit out, Fang Chang paused for a moment and said.

"He's probably still holding that tentacle...but I guess he's almost out of power."

At this moment, he suddenly noticed Luo Yu next to Lao Bai, and then his eyes stopped on the half of his face that was eroded by slime mold, and his expression couldn't help but be slightly startled.

"Luo Yu..."

Luo Yu coughed lightly.

"Don't ask, I was shot down. As for my face...it became like this after being fucked by Xiaoyu."

Fang Chang didn't care. He walked straight to him in two steps and happily stretched out his hands to hold his shoulders. "I didn't want to ask you this. You can tell this kind of thing at a glance... How do you feel now?"

Feeling a little unnatural by the fiery eyes, Luo Yu took half a step back nervously.

"I...it's okay, what's wrong?"

The look in his eyes was so similar.

Just like when Mosquito invited him to test drive Goblin Technology’s new aircraft!

Looking at Luo Yu with an unnatural expression, Fang Chang cleared his throat and said seriously.

"I'm afraid Ye Shi won't last long...and I discovered that conventional weapons can't kill this guy."

"Being unkillable means..."

"That's literally it! He has been integrated with this land, and His body is spread throughout the underground space of the city center. Thinking about it from another perspective, our weapons cannot be stronger than the Post-War Reconstruction Committee... If the setting is centralized A Guang did not write the information randomly, so the idea of ​​using explosives to kill the brood was not feasible from the beginning. He is not anywhere on this land at all, but everywhere! "

Perhaps this is the reason why the exploration force of the Post-War Reconstruction Committee failed to locate the specific location of the mother nest.

Every coordinate they explored was correct, but what they found was only a part of Him.

And whenever they destroyed a part of Him, He would fall silent for a while, only to return shortly afterwards with memories and experiences from previous battles with them.

Same reason.

Luo Yu looked at him in disbelief.

"How could it be? You are not..."

"Successfully caused harm to Him, right?" Fang Chang guessed what he was thinking, looked at him, and continued seriously, "It's useless, that little bit of damage is like a flea biting Him. Even so. We tried our best, and at most we could do the same as the post-war reconstruction committee, letting him sleep underground for two or three years... Now there is only one last way to kill him once and for all."

Luo Yu knew what that solution was. It was Plan B provided by the manager——

After discovering the mother's nest, if he finds that the mother's nest cannot be destroyed, he will eat the little feathered fruiting body with him.

However, there is a premise here, that is, you must first approach the mother nest.

Seeing the confusion in Luo Yu's eyes, Fang Chang turned his gaze to the giant mouth that was vomiting gravel.

“We are above the nest, and He is at our feet.”

"That's the nearest entrance!"
