"Sorry, sorry." Huo Yu knew he was in the wrong and quickly apologized with a smile on his face.
When he raised his head again, his smiling face instantly turned into a suppressed smile.
Bai Xiaomo's back was green, and Ling Ran's front was green, both covered with giant cockroach mucus.
The explosion happened too fast, and the cockroach had been struggling at the time. Huo Yu could only take the opportunity to throw the grenade out. He had no time to alert the two of them, and was splashed all over by the aftermath of the explosion.
Bai Xiaomo was so angry that he just wanted to rush up and beat Huo Yu violently to let him know why the flowers were so red.
However, thinking that Huo Yu instinctively protected himself at the moment of the explosion, his anger could no longer be overcome.
"That guy is dead now?" Ling Ran didn't have time to take care of the filth all over his body, and looked around with a cute expression on his face.
At this time, apart from his own people, there was only the empty insect carapace left in the cave, and there was no trace of any living thing.
Except for the cockroach with the ironclad beetle gene, the other giant cockroaches had already died after Huo Yu shot the explosive arrow.
This kind of genetically mutated cockroach is extremely difficult to breed. It would be a blessing to have one, and the other giant cockroaches are just bigger.
"Dead." Huo Yu sighed with a sigh of relief.
To be honest, the strength of this giant cockroach is just that, stronger than a polar bear, but certainly not as strong as Negan, the leader of the illegal organization.
The reason why it took so much trouble to get it down was entirely due to Huo Yu's own fear of cockroaches.
After hearing the affirmative reply, Ling Ran relaxed and his tense body relaxed a lot.
The oxygen mask he had been wearing had flown to nowhere during the fight. Ling Ran was sitting on the ground, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Ugh—" he retched, tears about to flow out, "What does this smell like?"
Except for Huo Yu who hid behind Bai Xiaomo and escaped unharmed, other people and animals all had some body fluids of the giant cockroach on their bodies.
This liquid is green and extremely smelly, and I don't know if it is toxic or not.
Just in case, Huo Yu took out a box of pills from his space backpack that could relieve most of the poison.
This pill is not produced by the system, but is the standard for Ice Keepers, and it is the standard for Ice Keepers in China.
They are mainly Chinese patent medicines made from pure Chinese medicine ingredients and are very effective. However, most foreigners do not trust traditional Chinese medicines, so only the ice-shouying talents in China use them in large quantities.
After swallowing one himself, he fed another one to the two of them and the two small animals. Then Huo Yu sat down to rest and recover his strength.
"Huo Yu." Bai Xiaomo on the opposite side frowned, "What should I do with these things on my body?"
"Then why don't you fix it? There's no place to take a bath in this old broken cave." Huo Yu frowned and looked around, "Why don't you pay more attention? The fix is all over your body."
Bai Xiaomo didn't speak, but silently picked up the fire ax at hand.
Huo Yu felt a chill in his heart and quickly changed the subject: "I have clean combat uniforms and wet wipes here. How about you find a place where no one is around and put on new clothes first?"
Bai Xiaomo then put down the fire ax, took the clean combat uniform and wet wipes from Huo Yu, and walked into the darkness of the cave.
Ling Ran also took away some clothes and tissues and ran to the other side of the cave to deal with the dirt on his body.
For a doctor with mysophobia, having this unknown liquid on his body is a very scary thing.
With these distractions, the task of exploring the cave will naturally have to wait for a while.
Huo Yu simply asked everyone to fix things here, and then continued walking deeper into the cave after the matter was taken care of and the condition was adjusted.
Taking advantage of this time, he also helped the two furry children clean the cockroach mucus on their fur.
Although a long time has passed, this cockroach can be initially judged to be non-toxic.
But this thing smells really bad, and it's easy to attract other animals, so it's better to get rid of it for peace of mind.
By the time everyone had finished repairing, it was already half an hour later.
Several people stood refreshed in the cave, wearing brand new combat uniforms. Everyone put on oxygen masks, fully prepared for the next exploration.
Just when he was about to set off, Huo Yu suddenly came to the front of the carapace, stretched out his hand and endured the discomfort to put the carapace into his space backpack.
Bai Xiaomo asked with a look of disgust: "What do you do with such a smelly thing? It makes other things stink."
"You won't be able to live a good life at first glance. You are too wasteful." Huo Yu retorted, "This thing is invulnerable to water and fire. It is not very good to take it back and make it into a shield or armor."
The giant cockroach's carapace containing the ironclad beetle gene is extremely hard, even far harder than the riot shield used by the SWAT police.
The main purpose of the police anti-riot shield is to prevent riots rather than explosions. Its real function is to resist attacks and prevent riots, not to prevent explosions and bullets.
This kind of anti-riot shield is made of acrylic plate, and bullets can easily penetrate it.
A shield that is truly bulletproof is made of special materials such as bulletproof glass or special steel. It is very heavy and cannot be held with one hand.
Therefore, heavy-duty explosion-proof shields are generally pushed on wheels. They are not as light and convenient as this kind of carapace, and the effect is not bad.
This is why scientists are paying more and more attention to biodiversity.
Most of the technological codes of the future are hidden in the genes of these animals. Every time a creature is extinct, mankind will lack a huge treasure.
After taking away the cockroach carapace, Huo Yu no longer had any memories of this place full of peculiar smell that he had fought in.
He took two people and two cubs with him and decisively explored further into the depths of the cave.
This time, Huo Yu and others explored very carefully.
Even creatures like mutated cockroaches have emerged. God knows what other terrifying creatures are hidden deep in the cave.
After walking for nearly ten minutes, Huo Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with some surprise: "Did you feel anything was wrong?"
Bai Xiaomo immediately picked up the fire ax with a vigilant look on his face: "What's wrong?"
"This cave seems to be getting hotter and hotter."
Arctic glaciers and nearby islands have an ice sheet climate. The sun's altitude angle is very low all year round, and the temperature is not too high even at the hottest time.
But now Huo Yu can feel the temperature rising significantly. Even if he is wearing a combat suit that can insulate against the temperature, he can feel that there seems to be a heat wave swimming around him.
It was as if I had gone directly from the arctic climate of the ice sheet to the tropical rainforest climate.
Bai Xiaomo also wiped the sweat from the top of his head. Just when he was about to answer Huo Yu, he suddenly stared blankly into the distance.
Huo Yu subconsciously followed her gaze and suddenly became energetic.
In the stone cracks of the cave in the distance, a bright light penetrated along the cracks.
If you listen carefully, you can also hear the sound of wind blowing through the cracks in the rocks and the chirping of birds.
The end of the cave actually leads to the island!
