The other one seemed to have seen the gorilla who wrote the equation of nuclear fission...
His eyes jumped back and forth between the faces of 659 and the general-level zombies. Zhang Ning finally decided to ask 659 first.
Zhang Ning waved his hand in front of the other person's face and asked.
"Sao Nianlang, what happened? What are you looking at me for?"
The thinking process was interrupted, 659 looked complicated and said something incoherently.
"You can actually pick up this giant sword..."
Hearing what the other party said, Zhang Ning's face showed a hint of pride and he said happily.
"That's natural. Even though I'm older than you, I still have the strength. If you hadn't inserted it too tightly at the beginning, I would have pulled it out long ago..."
"Did I insert it too hard at the beginning..."
Hearing what Zhang Ning said, 659 murmured.
The mechanical left arm stretched out, signaling the opponent to give him the giant sword.
When Zhang Ning saw this, he didn't say anything and subconsciously handed the giant sword to 659's hand.
The moment his left palm touched the giant sword, the faint blue light in the mechanical arm began to shine, and the hum of the rotor became extremely loud, like a machine running at full power.
After taking the giant sword, 659's body tilted slightly, then quickly adjusted, and no other abnormality occurred.
Feeling the weight of the giant sword with his left arm, he turned his attention to the general-level zombies not far away.
"Since we can carry it, let's go and den in the ground."
Although there is obviously a secret between Zhang Ning and Jujian, the most important thing right now is to go into the underground cave to escape the cold wind.
After all, he is the only one who has the Night Demon protective suit that can insulate him from the cold.
The general-level zombie, whose face was covered with black tears, heard 659's words and didn't say much. He just wiped the mess on his face and took the lead towards the ruins of the small warehouse.
Although he didn't know the specific location of the underground cave, the Snake King came out of the small warehouse.
The entrance to the underground nest must be found beneath the ruins.
After lifting a few pieces of rusty steel plates, a hole about two meters in diameter appeared in sight.
The general-level zombie didn't say much and plunged directly into the hole.
Zhang Ning, who was behind, saw that all the general-level zombies had gone down. Naturally, he didn't want to let the cold wind blow above for another second, and immediately followed him with his giant sword.
The remaining 659 followed closely behind.
As the steel plates fell, the villages and towns in the night returned to deathly silence, leaving only the sound of strong winds.
Not long after entering the tunnel, 659 clearly felt that the surrounding temperature was slowly rising.
Although the surrounding environment was dark, Zhang Ning and the general-level zombies in front of him did not seem to be slow at all.
They all moved forward quickly by touching the surrounding cave walls, as if they were not worried about any danger emerging from the darkness ahead.
"With such low vigilance, is it possible that there is really no danger in this cave called Diwozi?"
659 muttered something in his heart and kept moving his hands.
The mask of the protective suit is lowered and the night vision function is turned on.
Compared to walking in the dark without seeing anything, 659 prefers the feeling of having everything under control.
The two of them walked in the cave for about two minutes, and the surrounding cave walls began to gradually become wider.
Hot and humid air blows from the front, making people feel sleepy.
What also changed next was the environment in the cave. It was no longer pitch black before everyone's eyes, but a faint glistening red light appeared.
These shimmers seemed to be emitted by some kind of mineral and spread all around the cave wall.
At the beginning, the brightness of the red light is very low and the distribution is sparse.
But as a few people went deeper, these luminous minerals suddenly became denser, and in the end they were able to illuminate the entire cave, giving people an extremely strange feeling.
Turning off the night vision function on the mask, 659 took a tentative breath of air in the cave.
Apart from a strong earthy smell, there is nothing unpleasant about it.
Because the pace of advancement has not stopped, 659 did not ask anything, but just tentatively turned on the monocle.
Previously, due to the incident between Zhang Ning and Jujian, the dimensional slope of timeline 4982 changed dramatically.
In order to prevent the high-frequency analysis mode from depleting the stored psychic energy, 659 directly cut off the core energy input of the monocle.
Try turning it on now just to see if the fluctuation has passed.
After all, the monocle is still very important to 659. In addition to basic recording and data collection, it also serves as a battlefield assistant.
Fortunately, the fluctuations in the timeline have stabilized. After the power supply was turned on, a few data streams simply passed through the monocle, and there was no blowout.
But among those data streams, one caught 659's attention.
"It has been detected that the surrounding environment is rich in psychic energy. It is recommended to turn on the absorption function."
"There is abundant psychic energy in the surrounding environment? Is it caused by this mineral that emits red fluorescence?"
659 was curious, so he stretched out his left arm and dug out some red minerals from the cave wall.
When I took it in front of my eyes, I found that it was some crystal grains of sand, and the whole was translucent and dark red, like the crystallization of blood after coagulation.
"Absorb it and see..."
After thinking for a moment, 659 gently twisted the sand with his fingertips and turned on spiritual energy absorption.
After a slight sound, the fluorescence of the sand in the palm disappeared and turned gray and broken.
The psychic energy in 659's body also increased slightly.
"It can really be absorbed. If there are so many around the cave wall, the total amount will be very impressive..."
Psychic energy is an energy source that 659 discovered before the World Split came to the 4982 timeline.
It is somewhat similar to electrical energy. It also provides energy through the repulsive and attractive forces generated between microscopic particles. However, spiritual energy is generated in various directions and is not limited to the flow of positive and negative poles like electrical energy.
Due to the diverse directions of energy production, psychic energy is more like a kind of radiation in terms of releasing energy.
Although 659 was thinking about it in his heart, he had no intention of stopping to absorb it.
First of all, I am still in a hurry.
Secondly, they are not familiar with the current environment.
If these minerals containing spiritual energy are the prerequisite for maintaining the warmth of the underground cave, and he absorbs them all at once, wouldn't he wake up the semi-dormant snakes?
Although those snakes did not pose a threat to him, 659 still adhered to the principle of doing more than doing less and chose to stay up first to see the situation.
As a few people moved forward, large and small cave branches began to appear around the wide cave wall.
Compared to the main road they were walking on, there were much less fluorescent sand in these cave branches, and some were even completely dark with no light at all.
Just when 659 was about to ask how long it would take to arrive, Zhang Ning in front suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and sighed softly.
"Ha... finally here."
Looking up, the cave seemed to have extended to the end. There was only a small opening in the cave wall in front that could accommodate a single person.
The general-level zombie didn't say anything, but was the first to get into the hole.
Zhang Ning waved at 659, gesturing for him to follow him quickly.
After passing through the narrow opening, 659 was instantly shocked by the sight in front of him!
This is a spacious underground space, roughly estimated to be as big as half a football field, and the highest height can reach fifteen meters.
The cave walls are covered with fluorescent red minerals, illuminating the entire space as bright as day.
Like the crooked passages outside, the ground in the inner space is not flat, but the overall terrain is high on the four sides and low in the middle.
While looking around, 659 also keenly noticed that there was a dark patch of ground that looked like it had been blown up by something.
"This underground space is the den where the Snake King lives. Now that the Snake King is dead, the other mutated snakes are dormant. It's safe for us to stay here."
The general-level zombie walking at the front glanced around and said calmly.
In the process of rushing on the road just now, he seemed to have sorted out his emotions and changed into a neither salty nor indifferent attitude.
659 did not answer the general-level zombie's words, but just stared at the scorched blackness on the ground, and then looked at Zhang Ning aside.
He wanted to confirm whether this place was really as safe as the general said.
"He's right. The snake king is dead. Those mutated snakes won't notice for a while. If we want, we can even stay here until early morning. But what I mean is to make a quick decision. After all, this place is full of snakes. nest."
While Zhang Ning was speaking, he couldn't help but look around, as if he was looking for something.
659 knew clearly that the other party was looking for little Ada’s body.
But this underground space is clearly visible, and it is so clean that there is not even a stone, let alone any corpses.
The general-level zombie had chosen a relatively flat place to sit down cross-legged, just looking at 659 and Zhang Ning at leisure.
The look in his purple eyes flashed, as if he was looking forward to the next conversation.
"Let's settle the matter at hand first, and then we'll go find little Ada's body. All the mutated snakes are in a dormant state now. I think little Ada's body will be fine."
659 opened his mouth and gave his own suggestions.
This was not because he meant to comfort Zhang Ning.
But 659 also knew something about mutant snakes.
Under normal circumstances, whether it is a normal snake or a mutant snake, after catching the prey, it will not choose to eat it immediately, but will first determine whether the surrounding environment is safe.
After all, snakes need a certain amount of time to digest their prey after swallowing it, and during this digestion period, it will become very fragile.
In order to avoid being attacked when they are full, most snakes do not eat in a hurry.
According to Zhang Ning's previous description, little Ada was dragged away by the poisonous anaconda near night.
Calculating the time, the poisonous anaconda should not have time to devour the corpse before entering dormancy.
"Okay, I'll listen to you and solve the immediate matter first."
Feeling that what 659 said was reasonable, Zhang Ning no longer insisted.
The giant sword was thrust into the ground and he sat cross-legged on the ground.
659 did not sit down, but leaned next to Zhang Ning and cast a look at the general opposite...
