Chapter 393: In the Dark (I)
"Ahh Didn't you say that there were biological weapons? It's good to come out one or two so that I can see and understand. ”
The voice of Regers grumbling sounded in the long and far-reaching corridor, and the boy yawned with his sword in his hand, looking like he couldn't lift his energy.
"It's better not to touch that kind of thing. However, when it comes to the era of developing biological weapons, it should be before the proposal of the Demon Soldier Transformation Program. Lucy said as she walked: "At that time, it was because the biological weapon development plan was stranded that it turned to the Demon Soldier. And the facts have also proved that transforming soldiers is much easier to control than biological weapons. ”
"So this base is stored for the purpose of developing weapons?" Alan stopped, and the passage ahead had collapsed. The rocks and twisted metal that blocked the way formed a hill, so the crowd had to divert the route.
Belmode lamented, "It feels like it's a labyrinth. ”
"In that case, it's not fun." Regis said.
Lucy sighed lightly: "The energy system of this base has not been completely cut off, so if biological weapons have been developed before. It's possible that these weapons are still active, and if they collide in a labyrinth-like place, I don't think it will be a pleasant thing. ”
"In short, find the control center first. It was only when I arrived at the center that I understood the function of the base. After that, it will be easier to find the queen or deal with the matter of communication with the earth. ”
"But that's what I said, but now ......" Alan stopped again, and not only the corridor in front of him, but also the walls and rooms on both sides disappeared. In front of them was a huge gap, and judging from the marks on the edge, it seemed that there had been a terrible explosion, and it had blown it open. Alan shook his head and said, "In this case, it doesn't seem strange that the control center has been destroyed. ”
"No, if the control center is destroyed, then the related qiē system, including the energy supply, will be stopped. But now, it is obvious that the energy supply is still weak, so the control center must still be there! Lucy was confident.
"Then we have to find another way." Alan said as he faced the dim and empty space in front of him.
"Wait." Belmode stopped them and pointed down the gap: "I look like I've seen something." ”
"Nothing, so dark that your eyes can see?" Regis leaned over and looked at Belmode with some suspicion.
Belmode pointed to himself, "I've had special training, especially in the dark. As long as there is a faint light, you can see your surroundings clearly. ”
"So what do you see?" Alan asked.
"It seems to be a very large pillar, about ten meters in diameter. There are many metal rods of different thicknesses at the top, and it is difficult to see more of them. "Faced with a cloud of darkness, Belmode is described above.
Lucy looked at him in surprise and said, "You seem to be talking about the Rubik's Cube Energy Furnace, in other words, we are on top of the Energy Furnace." ”
"It's not our luck that there was an explosion here, but it didn't affect the energy furnace. So, do you want to go down and have a look? Alan crouched down, and if you looked closely, there would be a regular glow in the darkness. Although it was faint, it reflected the outline of a giant metal pillar. It's just that Alan can't see too clearly like Belmode.
"The power room is located in the power room, which is one of the most important areas of the base, and I believe that there will be a floor plan of the base in the power room. In that case, it will be much easier to find the control center. Lucy shook her fist and looked energetic.
"In that case, let's see if the rope is long enough. Belmode, can you predict the distance between us and the energy furnace? Edward unhooked his rucksack and began to pull out a coil of rope from inside.
Belmode observed for a moment and said, "It's about twenty meters of vertical distance, but we're not above the energy furnace. The big pillar was about four or five meters in front of us on the left. ”
"In that case, we'll fix it here with a rope and swing it over with a rope." Edward said, "Belmode has the best eyesight in the dark, so it's up to you to get there." Upon safe arrival, give us a bright light to orient us. ”
Alan took out Qianjun, tied the rope to the knife, and then pierced it into the ground next to it to fix it. Belmore pulled the rope and made an "OK" gesture after wrapping around his hand and fastening it. Then take a few steps back, determine your bearing, and then sprint. Leaping hard at the edge of the gap, he stretched his hands and feet, swept diagonally to the left like a large bat, and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.
Only the sound of breaking the air sounded in the darkness, and a moment later there was a slight crash. Not long after, Belmode's body rose with a dark red source power flame, allowing everyone above the gap to see where he was. Next, one by one, they swung over with ropes. Eren was the last one, and when he landed on top of the energy furnace, he pulled the rope hard, swinging Cheonjun up and falling back into his hand along with the rope.
At this moment, a few points of red light lit up in the darkness above the gap. Alan let out a "huh", and the red light disappeared into the darkness again, as if it was just his illusion.
"What's wrong?" Lucy asked.
"It's nothing, it seems that there was an audience passing by just now."
"Audience? It can't be those biological weapons. ”
"I don't know, but even those things can't jump at such a distance, so let's do it, ignore them."
There is a well ladder on one side of the energy furnace that extends to the bottom. This was already the location of the power room, which was unusually empty and dimly lit. Standing on the energy furnace, everyone felt like they were in the void. It didn't take long for them to find the ladder, and Belmode climbed down first, and the others followed him one after another, still with Allen.
While Alan and the others found the power room, Garner and his party were still navigating through the labyrinthine corridors, and eventually they stumbled upon a material transfer platform. The space was open, Garner gestured, and the team rested for a while.
Buzz took the rucksack off and poured a bunch of things out of it. It's a bit of jerky, but when the exhaust pipe comes down, it's soaked in the lake, and the food doesn't look delicious. He sighed and said, "I can only eat it." ”
Fat Drew took a piece, put it in his mouth, chewed it heavily, and said, "When I get out, I'm going to eat roast turkey!" ”
Garner smiled slightly, and also took the soaked dry food and ate it. Momiji circled around the neighborhood and said, "There's an exit over there, so we can get out of there later." But Boss Garner, I've always found this relic strange. I've never seen a ruin made of metal, and it looks so big, almost the size of an earl's castle. In such a big place, I don't know what will be hidden? ”
"What do you mean?" Jaana looked at her and asked.
Momiji smiled, his smile a little reluctant: "I'm thinking, maybe there is nothing valuable in this ruin." You can also see, we have turned so much, and the most we see is metal, and it is rusty metal. This is a little different from what we expected, aren't ancient ruins usually associated with precious stones, gold, or precious works of art? ”
"But there's only monsters and iron plates here."
"So, it's better for us to retreat."
Jaana frowned and looked at the others, "What do you say?" ”
"Momiji's instincts have always been accurate, if she has the intention of retreating, does she feel something dangerous?" Bass did not answer the rhetorical question.
Momiji nodded: "Since I was separated from those people, I always had a feeling of being watched. This feeling gives me the creeps, it's so weird here. Garner Boss ......"
Suddenly, there was a strange noise in the darkness. It was like a fingernail scratching through metal, and the sound came from the darkness in front of them. Momiji immediately stepped back and stood with the others. She felt out the two short blades behind her, lowered her center of gravity, and assumed a fighting stance.
Jiana also threw away the jerky, picked up his giant sword and stood at the front of the crowd, and whispered, "Light! ”
Buzz's fingertips immediately flickered, and several clouds of lightning flew out and distributed over everyone's heads, condensing but not dissipating. With the help of electric light, Garner saw a pair of feet. Then the owner of the foot appeared in the electric light, and it was a woman. Or maybe it was a woman, her belly was as high as a pregnant woman, but her head hung limply at the side of her neck, looking lifeless.
It's clearly a corpse!
The corpse suddenly fell on its back with a thud, and no one knew how it had moved. At this moment, the clothes on the corpse's back suddenly cracked, and several sharp foot joints protruded from under the gray skin. The blade-like foot slashed to the sides, tearing the muscles of the corpse's back apart. The next moment, an alien creature crawled out of it. It has a wurm-like head, no eyes or ears, and is covered in an exoskeleton.
Garner frowned and snorted softly, "Be careful, this is the monster that Eren said." ”
The alien creature hissed at Garner and the others, and suddenly opened its mouth to spew out a stream of green water. Kana and Momiji immediately separated, and then the two of them walked around to one side, and then attacked the monster in a roundabout way. The Jiana giant sword broke through the air, with a muffled thunderous roar, and a ball of blood light was entangled on the sword, condensing into a sword light and rushing straight ahead. The alien reacted flexibly, and with a flick of the limbs, it slid away.
However, the red leaves were silently pasted, and the two knives swung together, pulling out a complex knife light. Then he retreated, but the alien suddenly fell apart, turning into a small corpse.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time, the sound of "fluttering" sounded in the darkness, and it sounded like a lot of alien creatures were bursting out of the parasitic corpse! R1058
