At this time, on the other side, in the base station on the second floor, Yao Zhou wiped the sweat from his forehead and finally pushed up the switch in the base station.
The switch was turned on, and a bright and dazzling light dispelled all the darkness in the base station in an instant. The huge fans placed around the walls slowly rotated, making a harsh mechanical buzzing sound.
"Finally successful!" Yao Zhou smiled and looked at Su Qian and others beside him. In their eyes, excluding the dead Zhang Fan, there were originally nine of them. However, when they were going to the second floor passage and were attacked by those white maggots, one of them died. Now only one of them is left. There were eight survivors.
Except for Su Qian and Yao Zhou, the remaining six people are three men and three women.
"We will proceed according to the original plan. If we encounter those white maggots down there, we will burn them with fire!" Yao Zhou looked at Su Qian with a smile, and never looked away for a moment.
"We have wasted too much time and need to act quickly!" A girl with double ponytails frowned slightly and said, but after she said this, she couldn't help but cough violently.
"Hua Ya, what's wrong with you?" Another girl with a single ponytail asked doubtfully.
"It's nothing. I just drank water too quickly and choked a little. It's okay!" The girl named Hua Ya smiled and explained.
"Okay, let's go!" The girl with the single ponytail nodded thoughtfully.
"We'll go down there in a minute. Everyone, be careful. We don't know what terrible dangers there may be here." Su Qian loaded the pistol and said seriously.
Although Zhang Fan died, this maze scene mission was far from over, and they were still going on.
"No problem. If you are really in danger later, Qianqian, I will protect you!" Yao Zhou came forward and smiled flatteringly.
In this regard, Su Qian just gave him a sideways glance and said nothing more. Soon, Su Qian and others walked towards the elevator one after another.
The reason why they thought of using fire to deal with white repellent insects was because when they escaped from the second floor, they accidentally set a fire and burned a group of white maggots to death.
If they hadn't been frightened at that time and didn't think too much, they might have been able to reach the base station on the second floor with the help of flames.
It wasn't until they returned to the base station on the first floor and told the matter, that everyone suddenly realized it after discussing it.
Hua Ya walked at the back of the crowd, but halfway there, she started coughing violently again. She was afraid that her coughing would be too loud and attract the attention of Su Qian and others, so she hurriedly covered her mouth with her right hand.
After coughing a few times, she took her palm away and found that her palm was bright red, which was blood. She actually coughed up blood.
Moreover, the smell of blood was a bit pungent and unpleasant, accompanied by a fishy smell, just like the smell of sewers.
Seeing this scene, Hua Ya was frightened and had no idea what was happening to her body. She has always been in good health without any disease, so why would she cough up blood for no reason?
For a moment, she panicked. At this time, Su Qian saw Hua Ya stunned and asked in confusion: "Hua Ya, what's wrong with you? Come here quickly!"
"It's okay... come right now!" Su Qian's voice interrupted Hua Ya's anxious thoughts, and she hurriedly responded and followed.
Seeing that Hua Ya looked strange, Su Qian frowned slightly and sniffed carefully, as if she smelled a strange odor from her body.
Although it was a bit strange, Su Qian did not ask, but kept this strange thing in mind.
A few minutes passed, and the elevator finally reached the second floor passage. The passage was pitch dark, without any light, and the temperature was so cold that Su Qian and the others subconsciously shrank their necks and tightened their clothes.
A sturdy man took out an iron torch from the system backpack, lit it with a lighter, and held it in his hand in case of emergency.
If he encountered those horrible white maggots, he would not hesitate to set them on fire. Turning their heads, aiming at the dark passage and casting light to dispel the surrounding darkness, Su Qian and the others cautiously walked forward.
Along the way, they only encountered some scattered white maggots on the road, and did not encounter large areas of white maggots like before.
This is quite strange. Except for the disgusting maggots, Su Qian carefully observed the surrounding scene. She wanted to find Zhang Fan's body.
But after walking nearly a few hundred meters in the passage on the second floor, I didn't see Zhang Fan's body. I just saw the survivor who died after being attacked by white maggots.
The corpse of this survivor had been eaten by white maggots until only a little bit of minced flesh remained. Almost all the internal organs inside had been eaten away, leaving only a rough humanoid outline.
It looks extremely disgusting and bloody. After walking forward for who knows how long, they arrived at the corpse pit filled with black powder.
Looking at the corpse pit in front of her, Su Qian frowned suddenly, feeling that the place was filled with a strong smell of burning and the bloody smell of corpses.
Before she could speak, Yao Zhou on the side suddenly said: "Something is wrong here. We have walked for so long and we haven't seen the second-floor base station. Maybe the second-floor base station is not on this road. When I came here, I saw There seems to be a passage over there!"
"Maybe... the second-floor base station is at the other end of the passage!" Yao Zhou expressed his thoughts.
As soon as these words came out, the remaining survivors looked at each other, hesitated for a few seconds, and nodded in agreement: "That makes sense. There should be no road ahead. This big pit is so deep, and it is filled with unknown black matter." , maybe it contains poison!"
"Go and look at other roads!" someone suggested.
"Then...just go somewhere else!" Su Qian nodded and agreed to their suggestion.
As soon as they hit it off, everyone began to turn around and walk towards the road they came from. After walking for more than ten minutes, they saw a fork in the road on the other side.
This is also a dark passage, but the temperature of the passage here is much warmer than the passage we just walked through.
But not long after they walked into it, a harsh buzzing sound suddenly sounded from behind.
Hearing the sound, Su Qian and others hurriedly looked around and saw a dense group of silver-white, fine needle-like flying mosquitoes rushing toward them.
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked and began to retreat one after another. The sturdy man just now hurriedly pointed the torch in his hand at the flying mosquitoes and swung it quickly.
The monsters here should be afraid of fire. Try using fire to see if you can knock the monster back. The torch was swung, drawing a long arc of flame in the dark passage.
But...the thin needle-shaped flying mosquitoes were not much afraid of the flames, and they all rushed forward, and in an instant, they pounced on the man.
The flying mosquitoes swooped over, and in just one breath, they pounced on the man's body, covering his whole body with dense patches. Suddenly, their needle-like mouthparts popped out, and they penetrated into his body, and began to suck crazily. blood.
"ah--"
"Help...help me...I don't want to die yet..." The indescribable pain caused the man to let out a heart-rending scream, and the pain was all over the floor. Rolling around, desperately shouting for help.
