Wan Youfa slowly moved to the door, took a closer look, and said doubtfully: "There seems to be something squirming mixed in the oozing liquid. Can any of you take a closer look?"
Fan Gang came closer again and frowned: "There are squirming things. It didn't seem so obvious just now. Are they produced by some creature in this space that was contaminated with that liquid?"
Li Sa also went over and took a look, and there was nothing similar in the interstellar insect beast illustrated book. At first, she was worried that they were the eggs of some kind of insect beast. After all, she encountered some small insect beasts along the way, but the ones she encountered looked different from these wriggling guys in their larval stage.
If you have to find an analogy, these squirming black bugs are more like the polluted mutated creatures in the seawater in an earthquake and tsunami world. This might be scarier than a regular bug beast.
Li Sa reminded everyone: "This kind of thing has no intelligence, and it doesn't look like an insect beast. If the energy raw materials there are leaked, it may cause the creatures in this space to mutate. Everyone should stay close to the door we came from, and stay away from there. .”
Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, the squirming black substances quickly combined, like a pool of water suddenly condensing together and turning into something tangible, which reminded her of a liquid robot. The kind of robot that only appears in science fiction movies, which can change into various shapes, such as a puddle of water, or into a human form.
When the door is closed, if there is a gap, it will not be visible to the naked eye, but it will not prevent smaller particles from getting through.
Li Sa shouted: "Exit this room!"
Li Tianya also shouted: "It's a liquid robot, it looks aggressive."
At this time, no more words are needed to explain. Everyone has seen more and more black substances quickly combining to form a humanoid body, but its arms are two sharp knives.
Fan Gang used the wind to accelerate himself, dragging Wan Youfa to run out of the door they came from.
After Li Sa and Li Tianya went out, they worked together to close the heavy stone door. However, the overall thickness of the door is close to one meter. Even if Li Sa and Li Tianya strengthened their strength and pushed the door with all their strength, and even if Fan Gang and Wan Youfa joined in, the door still couldn't close fast enough.
A shining metallic knife was thrust through the door.
The crack in the door gradually narrowed, and the knife was squeezed and deformed.
Li Sa suddenly took out the [Multifunctional Barbecue and Cutting Integrated Spray Gun] from the space, sprayed flames on the knife, and pressed the cutting button at the same time.
Even a liquid metal robot can block it for a short time.
Sure enough, the knife-like thing that passed through the crack of the door fell to the ground and did not immediately turn into the liquid form it had been.
Li Sa burned it again and found that high-temperature flames could reduce the activity of the thing, so they quickly plundered some plants and lit a fire outside the door.
Wan Youfa even took out a barrel of gasoline.
Li Sa quickly used the [Multifunctional Barbecue and Cutting Integrated Spray Gun] to cut the stone, dig out trenches, pour gasoline, and quickly create several fire walls.
Li Tianya asked: "Lao Wan, you actually bought gasoline from the mall?"
Wan Youfa said: "I had 50 points left from shopping, so I bought a treasure box to try my luck. When I opened the box and saw three barrels of gasoline, my heart dropped. After all, I had no other means of transportation. Then I thought Lighting a fire and burning oil are also necessary to live in the woods."
Li Sa was extremely jealous. What he got when he opened the box was gasoline, which was more valuable than seasonings. Even if the value was not considered, the volume definitely had an advantage. Could it be that her hidden attribute luck value was not added to the lottery and box opening? Or is it that the system defaults to seasonings being more scarce and not sold in the mall, so they have higher value in this world?
However, their defensive fire wall was not thorough. If gasoline was applied on the wall, it would only form a ring of fire, which would burn out sooner or later. That weird liquid robot can definitely condense into shape and catch up again.
Li Sa said: "Let's collapse this passage and resist for a while."
Li Tianya said: "There seemed to be a fork in the road we came from just now. At that time, we saw that the cutting there was not exquisite. It looked like a temporary road, so we didn't go through it."
After saying this, Li Sa also remembered. At that time, they analyzed that someone in the base might have left, but the main exit was buried or there was some danger, so they temporarily dug other ways out. Different from the exquisiteness and sophistication when building the base, the temporary passage is only one person high and very narrow, and the path forward may not be smooth.
Fan Gang also thought about this level, frowned and said: "I'll go over there to explore the road first. If it's a dead end, we'd better not go there. At worst, we leave the scope of this base, completely bury it, and return to the ground. "
In any case, they first blocked the passage they had just evacuated, aligned the boulders as tightly as possible, and then set fire to heat them to build several burning walls.
Fan Gang went to explore the fork in the road.
Li Sa said: "Let's go back the same way to see the situation on the ground. It always feels very cold."
Needless to say, the temperature in the air seemed to drop a few degrees the closer we got to the ground.
As they approached the narrow passage from which they came, they even saw frozen walls. When they came, it was a normal, slightly cooler night of about ten degrees Celsius outside. Now the cold wind blowing in from outside was carrying ice shards, and their breath was foggy.
Li Tianya clicked his tongue and said: "Is it so cold outside? Fortunately, we hid underground first. If this cave on the ground probably can't withstand such low temperatures."
Wan Youfa was injured, his whole body shivered, and he shrank back inside. Soon his expression changed and he said: "Over the top of the head, above the passage, that thing is coming."
This time, the liquid robot didn't seem to turn into a human form, but like a snake, quietly "swimming" along the top of the channel. It's very fast.
Wan Youfa took out the shotgun from the space and said, "Stay back, it will take time to repair every time this thing breaks."
After saying that, he shot forward.
As expected, the snake scattered in all directions and slowly gathered again. Li Sa cut the stones and poured oil from the end of the world. The two of them worked together to form a new wall of fire.
Li Tianya supported Wan Youfa and ran towards Fan Gang to explore the fork in the road, while Li Sa followed closely behind. They all know that those obstacles can't stop it for long, and they have to find a way to really restrain this thing.
"Why is it chasing us?" Li Sa was puzzled. However, this thing has no brainwave energy and cannot communicate. They don't have the control of electronics and machinery like Yao Feier, so they can only run away first and try their best. Delay the movement speed of this thing.
Fortunately, this thing did not split into several pieces to attack them. After being broken into pieces, it needed to be gathered together and put back together again. It was trapped in the ring of fire. It gave priority to crawling along the walls and ceiling to places without flames. When it passes through the flame, its speed will slow down, but it will not completely stagnate, which shows that its material itself is actually quite resistant to burning.
It just doesn't like high temperatures and avoids some kind of high-temperature roasting. This thing is temperature sensitive! This was obviously not something that the insect beast could create. Was this thing in the base activated only after the spacecraft landed?
