Liu Ziyun looked straight at Li Changfu.
This middle-aged man has been calm and low-key since entering the trial. He does not take the initiative like Shan Zhaoyang, nor does he complain loudly like Kong Jian. Although he has performed very well, he has been trying to maintain a very low sense of presence.
Now, lost in the cave, he spoke for the first time. His words were so confident that it was hard not to believe them.
"That's fine. Li Changfu, you are familiar with the terrain of the mine. I will follow your opinion."
"From now on, you will lead the way, and I will follow you to protect your safety at all times. Everyone should be okay with that, right?"
Liu Ziyun looked at everyone. Shan Zhaoyang just frowned and didn't speak. He just assumed that everyone agreed.
Li Changfu was arranged to lead the way. Without any nervousness, he quickly walked to the front of the team and began to identify water marks and airflow on the ground.
Despite his confidence, his heartbeat was still much faster than before, and he was obviously very nervous inside.
"This way."
"Go this way."
"Keep going straight."
"..."
During the subsequent march, there was no other noise in the team except for Li Changfu's occasional instructions.
He is very cautious and moves very slowly. Every time he encounters multiple cave entrances, he will confirm them several times before leading the team forward.
I don’t know how much time passed, or maybe just a short while later. In this dark and quiet environment, even time became extremely slow, making people lose the sense of the passage of time and become numb.
"Zizzi..."
"Past……"
"Stop, there's movement."
Li Changfu clearly felt that the wind blowing from the entrance of the cave he was about to enter became more and more obvious.
But at this moment, Liu Ziyun made people stop.
Liu Ziyun's hearing was strengthened by his bloodline and was significantly higher than the others. He immediately heard the strange noise coming from the front.
At this time, they should have arrived at the entrance of a cave.
"Officer Liu, what's going on?" Li Changfu stopped immediately after Liu Ziyun made a sound and never took another step.
Not only that, when he heard Liu Ziyun say there was movement, he became very vigilant and stared ahead with the help of the weak light on his combat uniform.
"I don't know. I heard a noise coming from the front, but I couldn't quite identify what it was. You guys wait a moment while I control the micro-robot to go over and explore the situation." Liu Ziyun was equally vigilant.
As he spoke, he took out the tablet, and then under his control, the micro-robot moved forward and quickly disappeared from their limited field of vision.
Liu Ziyun looked at the tablet nervously.
Not long after, the picture came back, and it turned out that the dark place in front was actually a large cave, with a concave place inside that resembled a small basin.
Liu Ziyun controlled the small robot to move forward. After seeing clearly what was going on inside, he suddenly took a breath of air.
He didn't speak, but his expression was clear enough. Li Changfu couldn't help but retreat to Liu Ziyun, looked at the tablet in his hand, and was horrified.
"Hiss...it's all strange insects..."
There are no less than two hundred strange insects densely packed inside, most of which are small in size and should be in their infancy. They are all crowded together, and there is a mechanical equipment hanging on the top of the cave, which is constantly dropping mechanical waste.
What makes people feel numb is that these mechanical wastes are actually eaten up by the strange insects at a terrifying speed.
These strange insects were exactly the same as the ones he encountered before, but at that time the strange insects were targeting living people. Now Liu Ziyun discovered that the strange insects in the cave were devouring machinery.
What do strange insects eat when there are no living people... This is something he has always wondered before, but now he finally understands.
There was a chill behind him.
"Are you sure this is the exit? Are you mistaken? Is there any other way?"
Liu Ziyun stared at Li Changfu, hoping to get other answers.
However, Li Changfu's answer disappointed him:
"As we approached here, the wind got stronger and stronger, which means there must be a wind source in this direction. We should have taken the right path. For other roads... we have to go back to the previous cave entrance and find it again."
Although Li Changfu is also afraid of the pictures displayed on the tablet, when it comes to the fields he is good at, he is afraid but extremely sure at the same time.
"Now, you hold the tablet and continue to identify the direction. I will follow you and pay attention to the surrounding environment at all times." Liu Ziyun looked at Li Changfu with a questioning look.
Li Changfu hesitated for a moment, took the tablet with trembling hands, took a deep breath, and then looked around, lowering his head from time to time to compare the situation in the cave.
Quickly, he pointed to three locations on the platform, where there were three passage openings.
"If I guess correctly, this is probably the passage leading to the exit. The wind coming from our right is more obvious. There must be an exit at these three passages."
After a moment of silence, Liu Ziyun said in a low voice: "Everyone, please pay attention. No matter what you see next, don't make a sound, otherwise it will attract strange insects and it will be over."
No one answered because no one dared to speak out.
Under the leadership of Li Changfu, they began to move along the entrance of the passage they had just pointed to.
This time, just like when they first landed, they turned off the lights, put their hands on the shoulders of the person in front of them, and moved forward slowly.
Fortunately, the entrance to the passage was located some distance away from the monster insect swarm, and they were all scrambling for mechanical scraps, not paying attention to their surroundings at all.
Li Changfu's judgment was absolutely correct. The second of the three passages was the wind outlet.
They entered the passage one by one without disturbing the strange insects behind them, and left the cave against the air current.
Liu Ziyun noticed that Li Changfu was too tense. When he left the exit, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed all of a sudden.
See the sky again.
There is no so-called daytime in Edge Star, only the endless starry sky. However, this different scene actually makes everyone feel alive.
"Finally, it's out..." Li Changfu couldn't help but sigh.
Others also breathed a sigh of relief. It felt good to escape from the underground base alive.
Liu Ziyun was more vigilant than the others. After he walked out of the cave, he immediately looked around.
There were a few piles of mechanical debris on the left and right sides of the cave, and there seemed to be some noise.
When avoiding the strange insects, everyone turned off the lights. Now faced with the strange noise, he subconsciously turned on the lights.
The next second, two strange insects that were close to adult size appeared in front of him, and Liu Ziyun's relaxed mood suddenly became tense again.
"Attention, there are strange insects, shoot quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, black shadows were moving on the piles of mechanical debris on both sides, and the first two strange insects were already rushing straight towards Liu Ziyun and the others.
Faced with the sudden accident, everyone acted in a panic, but they finally turned on the lights and shot in time.
Fortunately, these are semi-adult monster insects, and their speed is not as fast as the adult monster insects.
Everyone is no longer a chick.
Soon, Chen Min shot and knocked down two, Liu Ziyun knocked down two, and the others shot together, knocking down two or three more.
But in a hurry, two strange insects were still not hit. They rushed in front of everyone while others of their kind fell.
Liu Ziyun had already put Tang Jiumin to one side, preparing to activate his werewolf state and come forward for a hand-to-hand fight.
At this moment, a tall figure suddenly rushed out of his sight and rushed forward quickly.
Is that Yefim?
Liu Ziyun was stunned for a second. When he reacted the next second, he saw a scene that shocked him extremely.
Yefim first held up a large guard plate picked up from the mechanical wreckage, held the first monster claw blade, and knocked it over with his shoulder.
Then he continued to rush towards the second strange insect, dodged a fatal claw attack from the opponent, and threw it to the ground.
He yelled "Kill you", burst out with astonishing power, and punched the monster in the face before it could react.
This punch filled with resentment not only dented the insect's face significantly, but also made a loud cracking sound of bones.
The arms that had been raised by the strange insect suddenly twitched as the fist fell, obviously being stunned.
However, Yefim's venting was not over yet.
Punch after punch.
The monster's eyeballs were quickly blown out by Yefim. Being stunned, it instinctively felt that the enemy was on its body, and unconsciously waved its claws to grab at the body.
But Yefim was already red-eyed. Faced with the two hard and dangerous claw blades, he actually picked up a fragment of the guard plate on the ground and stabbed the opponent's arm pit hard.
The strange insect let out a sharp scream and twitched again.
"Die to me!!!"
Seemingly dissatisfied with the fragments cutting into the joints of the monster insect, Yefim roared again, turned around, stepped on the joint of the arm socket, hugged the claw blade tightly, and pulled hard.
With a roar filled with rage, the strange insect's pincers were forcefully torn off by him!
The green monster's blood splashed all over Yefim's body, but the latter still didn't know it. He actually smiled cruelly, raised the removed claw blade, and slashed at the monster's body again and again.
Not far from him, when two of the strange insects were stopped by Yefim, Liu Ziyun reacted quickly and immediately rushed to stop the other one. After easily overturning the other one, he changed bullets and fired.
His strength is stronger than an adult monster insect, and it is easy to deal with the underage monster insect in front of him.
But when he looked back, he happened to see Yefim tearing off the monster claw blade regardless of his own life.
Too dangerous, crazy!
"leaf……"
Just as Liu Ziyun said a word, he saw Yefim, who was frantically hacking at the monster insects, raising his head.
The opponent's eyes were blood red, as if he was going crazy.
"..." Liu Ziyun was shocked by Yefim's appearance at this moment, and subconsciously shut up.
Everyone was very quiet. They saw the whole process of Yefim's explosion and the scene when the claw blade was removed. They were all too shocked to speak.
Even if this person is just a minor, the hard claw blade cannot be ripped off casually...right?
This scene was no less terrifying than the strange insect that appeared just now.
But fortunately, all the strange insects have been eliminated, and there is no danger to life.
In the open space at the exit of the cave, Liu Ziyun frowned and looked at Yefim who was still frantically hacking at the corpse of the monster insect, and finally chose to step forward and pull it away.
"Yefim, do you know that you just traded your life for a life? It was so dangerous!"
"If you want to kill monster bugs, just shoot with a gun. That is the safest and most efficient way..."
Yefim, who had just been pulled away, kept roaring. He was obviously extremely dissatisfied with Liu Ziyun for pulling him away. He swung the claw blade over almost instantly. Fortunately, the latter was prepared in advance and was not swept away.
As soon as he avoided the claw blade, Liu Ziyun grabbed Yefim's neck and used his strengthened body to push him to the ground.
"Wake up, hey! Wake up! It's dead! Dead..."
As soon as he held Yefim down, Liu Ziyun quickly shouted to him to calm down. The other party struggled with great strength. Liu Ziyun activated partial werewolf transformation and strengthened his arms before holding him down.
Facts have proved that what Liu Ziyun did was still useful. As a few shouts passed, Yefim's struggle gradually subsided, and in the end there were only gasps of exhaustion.
"Ye..." Looking at Yefim who had returned to normal, Liu Ziyun secretly thought that it was not easy, but just when he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a sound again.
He stopped talking and suddenly looked up at the entrance of the cave, his pupils shrinking.
"Chen Min, be careful!"
Chen Min had been hiding at the back of the crowd. He didn't know what was going on, but the moment he heard Liu Ziyun's reminder, he made the most correct choice.
Almost before he finished speaking, he picked up the submachine gun in his hand and shot continuously in the back without looking back.
When you hold the trigger and don't let go, the submachine gun fires at an astonishing rate, firing fifty rounds of bullets in almost one breath.
Chen Min had just taken a step forward. He had no time to stand still and turned back as soon as the bullet was fired.
A twisted and ugly face unique to monster insects.
It turns out that at some point, a strange insect popped out of the cave, right behind Chen Min.
The submachine gun hit the monster insect, killing it almost instantly.
Unfortunately, Chen Min's danger was still not eliminated, because three or four more strange insects were found in the cave.
Chen Min's expression changed, and he immediately thought of a certain situation. He did not change the magazine first, but kept retreating.
There were more than three or four strange bugs, and a bunch of strange bug heads were poked out one after another, and they were scrambling to rush out of the cave.
"Don't run! Hurry up and aim your guns at these guys. If we wait for them to rush out of the cave, none of us will survive!"
At the entrance of the cave, everyone gasped when they saw this scene. Cheng Zhi and Li Changfu subconsciously wanted to retreat, but were stopped by Liu Ziyun.
After experiencing constant battles, the newcomers trusted Liu Ziyun's words more. They understood that what Liu Ziyun said was true, so they stopped one after another.
A burst of intense gunshots immediately rang out, and several monster insects that had not yet rushed out of the hole fell down one after another. Bullets were then fired into the entrance of the passage, killing the monster insects that had no room to dodge one by one.
However, an unexpected situation occurred for Liu Ziyun and the others.
More strange insects neighed in the cave, and the dead strange insects were dragged into the cave. One after another, the strange insects continued to swarm towards the entrance of the cave.
Apparently, they knew not to block the hole.
Several people continued to shoot without giving up, but the monster always kept a distance of seven or eight meters from the entrance of the hole, and this distance was slowly shrinking.
The sound of empty magazines falling to the ground kept coming, which made everyone feel even more nervous.
You know, their bullets are limited.
