"Pap." The first step after landing, the sole of the boot stepped on a stone, and the sound it made made people feel deserted and swayed in the air.
Han Qingyu alertly picked up the flashlight and scanned around. Fortunately, there was no movement around.
"It seems that there should be no strange pythons here." Han Qingyu said to himself that if there are still, they should pounce on me immediately when they notice my arrival. Just like the one just now, it has come all the way.
This thing's desire for the source of life energy should be regardless of male or female, right? The one just now was so disturbed by the plague chicken that it can no longer be recognized.
While he was thinking wildly, Xi Mei had also landed on the ground, her footsteps stepping lightly on the solid soil without making a sound.
"I dug some small pits in the wall. If you want to run later, you can just step into them." She said, "When you feel it's time to run, don't hesitate."
"Isn't this nonsense?" Han Qingyu said without turning around.
Shen Yixiu: "Oh."
Probably because of the weird environment here, people will naturally think of the most dangerous possibility. Han Qingyu continued to say while observing: "Just like in the Nepal Canyon, remember to listen to me at all times."
His tone is calm but unquestionable, and he has proven that in times of crisis, he is always calm and correct.
Like the last experience at the Nepal trial site, they later looked back and concluded that there were two things that Han Qingyu recognized and praised the most:
The first thing was that after he replaced Shen Yixiu and the others in the canyon, they did not hesitate or cry disgustingly, and went straight to the outside of the trial site for help without looking back.
Shen Yixiu was the only one among them. Because at the time of the substitution, she had made her own decision and tried to push Han Qingyu out. She stayed behind and was severely criticized several times. Han Qingyu was extremely vicious and said that she almost killed everyone.
Shen Yixiu cried twice when she was scolded and walked away on the spot, but in her heart, she was still convinced.
The second thing was Wen Jifei's decision to leave the battlefield decisively at the beginning of the day.
Han Qingyu said that was the most calm and favorable judgment, and said that you can just imagine how bad things would have gotten if Wen Jifei had been present during the entire process.
Wen Jifei was different from Shen Yixiu. When he was praised, he still argued with Han Qingyu, saying that if he had not left, he might have become famous in one battle.
Thinking of this, Shen Yixiu nodded and obeyed with a little emotion: "Yes, I remember it."
Small emotions and so on will naturally be ignored. Han Qingyu stopped talking, and the flashlight light extended from the soles of his feet along the ground.
The part of the ground visible within sight, except for the traces of the strange python wandering around, is generally flat and solid. Although it is inevitably rough, there are obvious human-made traces. I think this must be related to ne.
"That experiment was supposed to be one thing on the surface, but another thing on the surface."
Han Qingyu said as he put the knife in his left hand back on his back, with a flashlight in one hand and a fixed iron knife in the other. He and Shen Yixiu maintained a diagonal back-to-back formation and walked forward cautiously.
This place is not small. The two walked for a while and found no danger or anything. Shen Yixiu couldn't help but whisper: "Why doesn't it seem like there is nothing?"
"Yes." Han Qingyu's voice was also very small, but it was wrapped in uncontrollable excitement.
He has already felt the existence of source energy.
"Be careful and follow me." Han Qingyu led Shen Yixiu to the side. After rounding a somewhat winding corner, the scene in front of him changed, and a faint blue light loomed in the darkness.
"This is"
"Maybe you're going to get rich."
Han Qingyu said, taking the lead and walking forward for a short distance.
Blue light is becoming more and more popular, making flashlights increasingly redundant.
Finally, he stopped at a place, turned sideways, and then stayed there without speaking.
"What did you see?" Shen Yixiu followed and stood still, also stunned.
In front of him is a field the size of an ordinary farmyard, where the blue light is at its strongest.
There was a strange and simple dead iron frame connected from the ceiling to the floor, with four smaller versions of the "rice cooker" and "big hammer" similar to the "rice cooker" and "big hammer" seen earlier outside, placed at the four corners of the room.
Then in the middle of the room, occupying most of the space, were at least seventy or eighty armored men.
It can be seen through the transparent material of the armor that almost every one of them has the same skin color and corpse spots as the one spit out by the strange python just now, but the degree is different, some are more serious, and some are very mild. of.
This is probably related to the time interval between them being swallowed by the strange python, but without exception, they are all living dead.
"They" Shen Yixiu tried hard to stop her fear and anxiety, but still asked tremblingly.
"A biological chain of life source energy."
Han Qingyu also felt a little dazed when he spoke, because at this moment, in his mind, the previously interrupted train of thought was continued.
"The strange python swallows these armors and absorbs the life source energy to sustain life and grow. The iron armor's help should be the life-sustaining warehouse project that Qiaoqiao just mentioned. Some injured and dying soldiers were sent to participate in the experiment, and in the end they saved some. Opportunity, then the biological chain is established, ne creates an experimental accident, blocks this place, and allows the biological chain to operate automatically." He continued.
"Is the strange python raised to be used in the battle with Dajian? It was a back-up preparation left by Ne in private for Wei Lan's resistance when it was impossible to be recognized."
Shen Yixiu took the initiative to avoid some thoughts that would frighten her, and asked questions that actually had nothing to do with her.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out, but I guess, no." Han Qingyu paused and said: "In my current opinion, the strange python should be just one of the steps in the transformation of life source energy. There are other things high up in the food chain. Wait and harvest it at a certain time.”
"ne?"
"Probably." Han Qingyu said, "It's a pity that we killed him first."
The conversation was interrupted here, because there were more questions, such as why it was Hua Xia, whether there were other places like ne doing this, whether it was related to his defection, and what his real direction was. Everything could not be deduced for the time being.
In silence, Shen Yixiu looked at those armored people dumbly. Those people, indeed, they might have died, but in the end they became like this, becoming a link in the food chain in the form of a living dead.
That kind of unrelieved sadness hits Shen Yixiu's nerves. If people really have souls, then maybe it is a greater pain than me.
"Do you know what this is in front of you?" Han Qingyu suddenly asked, interrupting her meditation.
Shen Yixiu came back to her senses. She knew that this was the place where source energy was supplied to Tie Jia. The reason why Tie Jia did not use source energy blocks was because they were placed here, just like vegetables that draw nutrients from the land. But what was the specific purpose? What? Shen Yixiu shook his head: "I don't know."
"Have you never been to a source energy field? By the way, you have never been." Han Qingyu turned back and said to himself: "This is a small source energy field."
Just like when he measured the source energy fusion degree in Institute 1 and approached the source energy field, Han Qingyu had actually already felt the "hostile impact threat" after getting closer.
But this source energy field is relatively too small.
Therefore, compared with the heavy truck encountered at the No. 1 Source Energy Field, Han Qingyu now felt as if he was facing a baby carriage, without panic at all.
Not only did he not panic, he was even a little excited.
Like a gangster who sees a naked beauty, and the beauty has almost no power to resist. The difference is that Han Qingyu only plays rogue to Yuan Neng.
Shen Yixiu nodded, "Then do we want to go back and report now?"
"Ah" with a surprised sound, Han Qingyu froze for a moment and turned to look at Xi Mei, "Qi Lan is not short of this source of energy. Besides, this is us. We who found it are in short supply."
Shen Yixiu snickered under the iron armor and continued: "That needs to be reported, not to mention these things found here may be important."
"Of course these things are left for them to study, but the source energy" Han Qingyu thought for a moment, "do you know why the strange python did not come out of the cave for decades before, but today it suddenly went out and swept you away?"
Shen Yixiu turned around: "Didn't you make that up?"
"I'm making this up." Han Qingyu said depressedly, "That's the real situation. Remember, that's the truth."
"Oh." Shen Yixiu nodded and said cooperatively: "Then why did the strange python suddenly go out and sweep me away?"
"Because this small source energy field has been exhausted recently." Han Qingyu raised his lips and said, "It lost its source energy supply, so it had to go out to look for food."
"Yeah" Shen Yixiu finally couldn't help it anymore, her voice brought out a smile and she nodded, "Yes, that's it."
