Liu Zheng took the tablet and glanced at the screen.
On the screen, it should be a picture taken from the air by a drone.
I saw a huge gap in the forest below. It was like a bottomless pit. It was like a mouth of an abyss, swallowing everything.
"Go here and have a look."
Liu Zheng tapped the screen lightly with his fingers.
"yes."
After Chen Lu answered, she took out her walkie-talkie and asked the convoy to change its route and head to the sinkhole in the safety zone.
Arriving nearby, Liu Zheng already had a basic understanding of the situation of the gold diggers team that had the accident.
The team of gold diggers had a large number of complex members and excellent weapons and equipment.
Among the teams registered in the Red Moon Base, their overall strength is quite good, and they gain something every time they enter the forbidden area to pan for gold.
The core members include Lao Gao, Zhao Xing, Wang Guofu, etc.
There are also a dozen or twenty temporary members.
Gold digger groups are like this, consisting of core members and some temporary members.
Many temporary members work together once or twice and then break up, and usually don't stay in a team for too long.
Therefore, when danger occurs, these temporary members will definitely be the first to give up, and even use them as scapegoats.
Therefore, in many gold digger groups, temporary members have the highest mortality rate. There are few examples like this time where all core members and temporary members died.
squeak!
The friction between the wheels and the ground caused the car to pause and then stop.
Liu Zheng opened the car door, got out of the car, and then led the investigation team members forward.
Not long after walking, they came to the edge of the sinkhole. Weeds had grown here, which showed the excessive vitality of the forbidden area.
Looking into the sinkhole, it was pitch black below, and I didn’t know how deep it was.
But the space inside should be quite large. Standing on the edge, Liu Zheng could feel the air rising from below.
"Flare."
Liu Zheng made a gesture.
The next few members of the investigation team fired flares into the pit. A few dots of silver first flew into the air, then fell into the pit. After a while, they shined brightly, illuminating the interior.
As Liu Zheng expected, there was a huge space inside, and it was not naturally generated because the edges were relatively flat.
At this time, Chen Lu said "Eh", pointed at the bottom and said: "Boss, there seems to be the remains of a vehicle below."
Liu Zheng also saw it, nodded and said, "Let's go down and have a look."
They used a speed skating device to quickly reach the bottom. Preliminary calculations showed that the depth of this huge pit exceeded 80 meters.
Arriving at the bottom of the giant pit, Liu Zheng turned on his helmet's searchlight and discovered that there was a passage below. The passage extended forward, and he didn't know how long it was.
He and Chen Lu looked at each other, and the latter turned around and asked the team members to take out various devices to scan the space and build a model in the computer.
Liu Zheng himself came to the wreckage of the car. It was a heavy-duty truck. The vehicle had been severely deformed and looked as if it had fallen into a mixer.
Of course, he couldn't think of any blender that could swallow a truck.
In addition, there are traces of corrosion and gnawing on the metal on the surface of the car body.
"Behemoth?"
Chen Lu came over at this time and asked questions.
Liu Zheng nodded: "It's possible."
"Boss, I found something."
An investigation team member shouted from the front.
Liu Zheng took Chen Lu over and saw several investigation team members firing a few flares forward. Through the light, they saw various car wrecks and twisted and broken corpses scattered on the ground.
These corpses no longer have human shapes, and it can only be judged from some of their surviving parts, such as half a human face and an arm, that these corpses belong to humans.
Of course, clothes are also part of the evidence.
In addition, there are deformed weapons, severely damaged equipment, etc.
"It seems that the gold digger team that was completely wiped out is here."
"Obviously, they were attacked by a giant beast and no one survived."
"The giant beast that attacked them left, this direction..."
Liu Zheng looked at the deep passage, frowned, took out his mobile phone and opened the compass, compared the directions and said: "If the direction of the giant beast's departure does not change, it will be heading towards Penglai."
He had just said that when several investigators came up and handed a tablet to Chen Lu.
After Chen Lu finished reading, she approached Liu Zheng nervously: "Boss, look at this."
Liu Zheng took the tablet. On the screen, the channel model had been established. Judging from the path, it was indeed heading straight to Penglai.
Moreover, through instrument scanning, the investigation team discovered that there was not just one passage, but there were two more passages around here besides the current one.
The other two passages come from the depths of the forbidden area. They come from different directions and finally extend to the same place.
Penglai City!
"Giant beasts rarely move together, even if they form a herd, there is a reason."
"But in this invasion, not only the giant beasts from the forbidden area came out in full force, but the piano insects also participated."
"But I don't understand why the piano bugs are attacking our dungeon."
Liu Zheng put down his tablet and said: "As an overlord, Qin Zhong has a high level of intelligence and will not attack the dungeon for no reason."
"Either there is something in the dungeon that attracts it, or there are other behemoths driving it."
The latter inference is based on the theory of the sociology of behemoths.
There is an obvious social structure in the giant beast group, which is similar to some social structures of the ant colony. They all have the concept of upper and lower classes.
The top drives the bottom.
So if the overlord can be driven, it may be a nightmare for higher classes.
Chen Lu frowned and said: "There is nothing in the dungeon to attract them..."
She stopped suddenly.
Then he looked at Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng also said in a deep voice: "Man-made giant beast!"
"If there's something that attracts them, the only explanation is man-made leviathans."
"But this explanation is still far-fetched. Will a man-made behemoth really attract the attention of the overlord?"
Chen Lu said solemnly: "But if it's not man-made giant beasts, or there's something in the dungeon that attracts them, or there's a higher-level giant beast driving the piano worms, is there a nightmare level here?"
"Is that possible?"
Liu Zheng shook his head: "I don't know."
"Normally speaking, the nightmare class will have its own territory and will not go to the territory of other giant beasts."
"But this was a theory from the past. Now that even the ghosts have appeared, I wouldn't be surprised if anything else happens."
"Let's go up first."
Soon they returned to the ground. Liu Zheng planned to investigate in the forbidden area, but it was getting late, so he set up a camp nearby and prepared to investigate again tomorrow.
night.
Chen Lu was taking a shower in the car. At this time, a green snake as small as an earthworm swam in through the car window.
This thing looked around with its pinhole-sized eyes, and finally swam into Chen Lu's clothes hanging on the wall.
