After arriving on the ground, Zhang Shoucheng arranged everyone in an open flat area and communicated with the bureau.
"Xiao Yao, are you there?"
"Yes, Captain, I couldn't receive the signal before. I wonder how you are doing in the mine. Have you gained anything?" Yao Jianhua asked.
"There is an area under the mine where the energy reaction is very active, which should be the reason for the natural awakening of the two brothers. However, the source of the active energy has not been found yet. Because of the new discovery, I brought the miners to the surface first. It's no longer safe down there." Zhang Shoucheng quickly replied.
"Oh, what was the discovery? Is it dangerous?"
"It's not clear yet. Has the person who arranged the reception arrived?"
After waiting for half a minute, Yao Jianhua was probably confirming the situation. After that, her voice rang in the earphones again: "We are almost there, it will take about half an hour. It is too remote there. My colleagues from Mingcang City need a little time to get there. "
"Okay, I will arrange for someone to take over here. I myself need to go down to confirm and eliminate the danger. In addition, people need to be arranged to station and mine here. The ore below is very valuable. Please inform Kunyun Province. Start preparing immediately.”
"Okay Captain."
"That's it, I'll go check out the situation."
"Captain..." Yao Jianhua's tone suddenly became gentler.
"Is there anything else?" Zhang Shoucheng was a little surprised. Yao Jianhua always struck him as straightforward and capable, and he had never seen her hesitate in such a tone.
"be safe."
"Okay, I will, don't worry."
After finishing the exchange with Yao Jianhua, Zhang Shoucheng looked at the team members: "There should be an animal nest down there. I don't know what it is specifically, but there are a lot of them and they must be cleared away. Do you want to come together?"
"Let's go together, captain." None of the four hesitated.
Zhang Shoucheng looked at He Yuqing: "Can you, do you want to rest here? The colleagues from the Mingcang Municipal Bureau will arrive soon.
"No need, captain, I have no problem."
Zhang Shoucheng glanced at her and had no objection: "Okay, let's go together then, Yu, you stay and wait for the response from the Mingcang City Bureau, and by the way, protect this group of people in case there is any danger here."
"Ah? Why me? I want to go there too." Wang Junyu said he didn't want to be a nanny.
"Because only You and Qing are level 3 superpowers here, she will be more useful down there, and having you here will also make me feel at ease."
"Okay, okay, I'll stay." Wang Junyu could only bow his head and accept his fate. It wasn't the world that was wrong, it was him who was too strong.
After making arrangements, Zhang Shoucheng led the three of them to the entrance of the mine. The passage they just came out of no longer had the support of his space, and the collapsed earth and rocks had blocked the passage tightly again.
But it’s no longer as troublesome as when I came out.
"Stand beside me." Zhang Shoucheng said to the three of them.
After the team members stood beside him, Zhang Shoucheng activated the teleportation, and everyone returned to the mining tunnel. Unlike using space flight, teleportation requires more precise and stable space control, so the team members cannot be too far away from him.
He Yuqing and the others felt very magical. In just a moment, they were back where they started. This ability had never been used by the captain in front of them before.
"Captain, who are you??" Ning Bo asked.
"Teleportation, why don't you know about it?" Zhang Shoucheng looked at the team members curiously.
The three shook their heads and said they had never seen it before. They just thought the captain was fast.
"Now you know? As a person who plays with space, I can teleport. Is this reasonable?"
The three of them nodded, saying it was reasonable, very reasonable, and too reasonable.
"Okay, let's go in and take a look now." After saying that, Zhang Shoucheng walked into the lighted mine tunnel, followed by the three of them.
This mine tunnel is not long and should be newly developed. The lead, zinc and silver mines here are also relatively rich. The resources of other abandoned mine tunnels are mostly exhausted and not many valuable things can be mined.
Soon we reached the end. This mine tunnel was quite spacious because there was ore all around. Zhang Shoucheng waved his hand: 'You guys spread out.
Then, his induction was extended to the animal nests he had discovered before, and he locked the target on one of them, using space displacement to move the other person in front of him.
A few people felt their eyes blurred when a ferocious giant insect the size of a washbasin appeared among them. This thing sensed that the environment around it had changed and immediately launched an attack on the target around it.
"buzz buzz"
The high-frequency vibration of the wings produced an irritating sound, and they quickly formed a line. They rushed in front of Zhang Shoucheng, and two thick sharp claws went straight into his face.
Zhang Shoucheng fixed it in mid-air with a thought. Only then could he observe it properly. Several other people also gathered around it.
I saw that this thing had reddish-brown and almost black armor, with dots of silver light on it, full of metallic texture, its wings were exposed on its back, its head was huge, its teeth were sharp, and the two front claws under its head were thick and powerful, with thick and long claw tips. Sharp, like two huge natural weapons.
"Captain, what the hell is this?" He Yuqing has little experience and no experience in rural life, so he doesn't know this thing.
Maybe it appeared in the book, but she must have forgotten it, or she didn't even remember it carefully when she was studying.
"It looks familiar. I can't remember the name. I've often seen things similar to it in my hometown, but this one is a bit too big." Wang Zixuan thought for a while.
Ning Bo didn't say anything, and he probably hadn't seen him before.
"This is a mole cricket, a kind of arthropod insect, but it is usually only a few centimeters long and can grow up to half a meter long. This is the first time I have seen it." Zhang Shoucheng knew him well and often caught him to play with when he was young. However, ordinary mole crickets don't have silver spots on their bodies, and they aren't that aggressive. This one is obviously mutated.
After moving the mole cricket to the ground and loosening its space, Zhang Shoucheng stepped on it, took out his stick knife, and slashed its back several times with a short knife. The slashes caused its back armor to break, but Zhang Shoucheng's knife was basically useless. It's useless, the clanking sound is like chopping a piece of steel.
An ordinary person would not be able to break through the defense, and would have to find a way to attack the unarmored abdomen.
Sensing danger, the mole cricket dug its thick front paws into the ground frantically. The hard rock ground was easily scratched by it. I guess giving it some time, it would not be a problem to drill a hole in the rock.
When this thing was weak, it could only drill through the soil. Now it has mutated and can easily drill holes into rocks. It's outrageous.
Zhang Shoucheng hit it hard on the head with an alloy stick several times. The movement of the cricket suddenly became weak. He turned it over and stabbed it. The tip of the knife penetrated into its brain from between its two thick front paws. Ended its struggle.
"Do you see clearly? To kill this thing, we have to start here." Zhang Shoucheng glanced at the three of them and continued: "I will open the mine tunnel in a while and eliminate them as soon as possible, but it is inevitable that some fish will slip through the net. Please pay attention. protect yourself."
"Got it, Captain."
Zhang Shoucheng took the mole cricket corpse into his personal space, and then spent time to create a connecting passage between the two mine tunnels.
"Break the rock in front and you will enter the mole cricket's nest. Get ready."
"Okay, Captain."
Here you can already hear the heartbreaking rustling sound in the mine tunnel opposite. It is densely packed with countless mole crickets munching on the minerals. There was basically no light, and relying on the flashlight that came with the phone made the atmosphere here even more eerie.
The last layer of rock suddenly disappeared, and the light from several mobile phones shone into the mole cricket nest, causing all of them to riot. Mole crickets are also phototactic animals and can fly.
Densely packed monsters surged towards several people, and the wings of countless mole crickets vibrated, forming a torrent of noise that went straight to the eardrums of several people, making people feel numb and irritated.
He Yuqing, who was standing at the end, suffered from trypophobia and had goosebumps all over her body, but she couldn't retreat because everyone's law enforcement records were out of power. Now she could only rely on her mobile phone to take pictures, and by the way, she also used her mind in the back. Ability to assist everyone.
I don’t know if her superpowers have any effect on these brainless insects.
Zhang Shoucheng created a space crack zone in front of everyone. With a thought, this crack zone flew forward quickly, cutting all the mole crickets along the way and the protruding cave wall ore into pieces, and the ground was covered with a layer of After seeing the corpse of the mole cricket, the mine suddenly became quiet.
The phototaxis makes the mole crickets behind them rush toward the light regardless of casualties, but what greets them is hell.
So there is a reason why he doesn't take action most of the time, because once he takes action, others will become a pendant, which will make him feel quite unfulfilled, and then he will lose his enthusiasm for work.
Stepping on the thick corpses of mole crickets and enduring nausea, everyone went deeper into the cave.
I don’t know whether this mine tunnel was formed naturally or was chewed out by mole crickets. The size of the space is very uneven, and there are even many small holes on the cave wall. This also allowed many mole crickets to escape the first wave of strangulation, and their phototaxis allowed them to continue to move towards Move towards the light source.
Several people took out their stick knives.
The first eleven or so mole crickets that rushed over were fixed by Zhang Shoucheng and thrown into the portable space. He needed to leave living bodies for the institute. I believe Dean Zhang would like his gift very much.
The remaining ones that rushed over in scattered directions, with the cooperation of the three people, were all turned into dead insects. Without the group advantage, a few individual mole crickets had no advantage when facing level 2 superpowers here.
Zhang Shoucheng took advantage of the situation and collected some more corpses as research materials. The rest will be collected by follow-up staff. Maybe something can be extracted from the cricket's armor.
The air circulation in the nest is very good. There should be a secret passage leading to the outside. The energy is also very active, but it is still a rootless tree. Zhang Shoucheng shined the flashlight of his mobile phone on the cave wall. There are gnawing marks on the ore there. , compared the size of the mole cricket's mouthparts, they are quite consistent. It seems that they have taken another step forward in their omnivorous nature, and lead, zinc and silver minerals have been successfully added to their luxury package.
Zhang Shoucheng traced the source of the active energy and went forward to investigate. Several people followed him to deal with the lonely mole crickets that appeared from time to time.
Going all the way down, we soon came to a huge cave.
This is where Zhang Shoucheng feels the energy is most active. There are also traces of mole crickets gnawing on the mine walls here. The difference is that these traces are too big. If this cave is the nest of this mole cricket, then this guy must be at least nearly ten meters tall. About the length.
A ten-meter mole cricket, is this a fucking monster movie? Oh, and it could still grow, boy, Pacific Rim could be released, but not in theaters, but in real life.
Now, the fun is great.
