On the third underground floor, the distance from the ground is tens of meters longer, and everyone can clearly feel a lack of oxygen, and their heads always feel dizzy.
There can only be one reason for this situation, and that is the low air pressure and the sealing of the space here. In other words, the three underground floors should be a closed space. The specific situation still needs to be fully detected before we can know it.
Under the illumination of the searchlights of the three tanks, there was a very vast lake facing them, and it should be an underground lake, because the light reflected on this lake was sparkling, unlike the two calm ones I had seen before. It's like a mirror, not to mention ripples, not even a ripple can be seen.
“There’s something by the lake”
While everyone was looking around at the surrounding environment, Gao Han suddenly noticed that when the searchlight on top of him shone through the grass by the lake, two places reflected different light, and the thing could move.
Different from the light reflected from the water surface, these two reflections are like the light reflected from the carapace of something.
As soon as Gao Han used his watch to remind him, the lighting systems of the three tanks all shone in the direction of the lake almost at the same time.
There was indeed something hidden in the grass by the lake, and it was a living thing. The surrounding green plants were swaying as they moved. However, the two things did not react to the light and continued to move slowly. After a while, , two creatures more than one meter long, covered with a greenish shell, crawled out of the grass.
"It's an ant...it's too big..."
Xiao Jinzi said after reading it.
"This is an acid ant, be careful of the acid in this thing!"
Ma Tao recognized the appearance of these two monsters at a glance.
The acid ant is a kind of ant that has mutated due to radiation. It not only has a large jaw with amazing bite force like a giant ant, but also has an even more annoying method, that is, it can spit out strong formic acid that corrodes the human body and tanks, which is very... It's annoying. If you want to pass through its territory, please prepare paraffin and antidote. Otherwise, the continuous acid corrosion will really become a maggot attached to your bones, which can consume your life bit by bit. Ma Tao once experienced it. Once corroded by acid, ginseng pills and the like are of no use at all.
Chuchuchu! ! !
As soon as Ma Tao finished speaking, a burst of clear gunfire from the 15-meter machine gun echoed throughout the entire three underground floors.
The acid ant A in front of him was immediately beaten to pieces by a storm of bullets, and lost his life in a daze.
Suddenly hearing the sound of gunfire, another acid ant B just raised its head with a pair of giant jaws and looked towards the three tanks. Ma Tao quickly used the secondary gun 15 machine cannon to kill it.
"This thing is too weak."
Seeing that these two monsters had no ability to resist at all, Gao Han didn't think there was anything scary about these two little monsters.
The two acid ants that were beaten into several sections by the 15-inch machine gun kept spitting out green liquid. They looked disgusting. You can tell without even thinking that the smell nearby must be unpleasant. I guess these two The biological monsters couldn't give a few Gs, and no one in the three tanks had any intention of getting out of the car.
"It will become clear after your car is sprayed with formic acid from this thing."
Xiao Jinzi had experienced a tank being corroded by acid, otherwise he wouldn't be so anxious to kill these two acid ants, because he knew that keeping these things around would always be a trouble, and it was so destructive. A tall but disgusting and powerful monster.
The problem of sour ants was solved, but a lot of trouble followed.
Although no one chose to use the 115T main gun to eliminate the acid ants, the sound of the secondary 15 cannon is not small, and this is a closed underground space. The sound can be infinitely amplified in this place, and the echo is even louder. It is lasting.
"Oops"
Seeing several circles of ripples suddenly appearing in the lake, Ma Tao immediately realized that their gunfire must have attracted something in the lake.
Plop! Plop! ! !
Accompanied by the sound of something jumping out of the water several times in succession, four large green frogs that were as big as a small car jumped from the lake to the shore. Four pairs of eight were as big and round as basketball-sized eyes. After a while, they all locked onto the three tanks that had just descended to this level.
"Hurry up and fight quickly! Then let's get out of here!"
The four people who jumped ashore were missile frogs. Everyone had seen this kind of thing before and didn't take it to heart. However, Ma Tao was worried about whether other monsters would be attracted after the fight started. If a group of laser earthworms were attracted, something bad would happen.
The Missile Frog is the Noah's Frog-type monster that people most often come into contact with in Rock Town. It is usually leisurely and leisurely, either hiding in the grass half a man high or hiding underwater. When it finds an enemy, it ejects it from the back. missiles on the ground to attack the enemy. There is water in this underground world, so it is not surprising that missile frogs appear.
Device C has locked onto a missile frog. Just when Ma Tao was about to press the fire control switch, he suddenly thought of something, that is, special artillery shells.
There are still 5 grenades and three ice bombs left in the special magazine of the No. 1 tank combat vehicle. At this moment, the four missile frogs are also relatively densely located, so grenade attacks are the best.
A grenade is a type of weapon that relies on a large number of shrapnel to damage the enemy after it explodes. After a while, it explodes like a goddess scattering flowers, damaging the enemy in a wide range.
"I'll switch to special artillery shells. Wait a moment and see if any fish slip through the net."
Thinking of using special artillery shells, Ma Tao immediately switched to the special magazine, replaced the main gun shells, filled them with special artillery shells and grenades, and then pressed the switch.
Boom~
The grenade exploded accurately in the middle of the four missile frogs. The explosion did not produce too violent flames, but the tearing effect of the shrapnel was really violent. Three of them were killed immediately, and the only remaining one was killed. It was also in danger, its green body was stained with blood, and one of its eyes was cut open by flying shrapnel. The surviving missile frog only had one breath left.
As the saying goes, take advantage of your illness to kill you. Before the missile frog could launch a missile to counterattack, Xiao Jinzi in Jeep No. 2 also pressed the fire control button, and a shell completely sent the last missile frog into the west.
"Get out, get out! Go quickly! Get out of this position."
The moment he dealt with the four missile frogs, Ma Tao started the chariot, looked around, found a direction and rushed over.
You can't stay in the place of right and wrong for too long. Who knows if other monsters may hear the sound and run over soon. If that happens, it will be all over the place.
In the panic, Ma Tao walked toward the southeast. Because he wanted to avoid the enemy, Ma Tao even forgot to use the detector to test during this period of running. He was sitting in the passenger seat and stared intently. Where monsters may appear on the screen.
I don’t know if all the monsters in this place rely on hearing to identify them or what happened. Not far away, less than a hundred meters away, the convoy was attacked again.
They were attacked by four laser earthworms and two bomb turtles. Four laser lightning bolts shot at the three tanks from different directions. Xiao Jinzi Fulin managed to avoid them by just a hair. After hitting the laser that hit the jeep, the other three laser attacks all hit No. 2 and No. 3 vehicles. Gao Han's No. 3 minibus was also large. It withstood two attacks and directly destroyed one. More than one hundred and sixty pieces of armor.
At this time, there is no way to continue running, because no matter how fast you run, you will never be faster than the laser earthworm's next attack. If you don't kill these four annoying long worms, they will follow behind and keep firing lasers.
"Fuck you! Come on! I'm going to blow you to pieces."
Even though he was so careful, he was ambushed. Ma Tao was also fired. His face was livid, and after shouting curses, he directly took over the fire control system, rotated the turret of the tank, and fired at a laser earthworm with one shot of the 115T gun. He passed by and directly blew up the one or two meter long thing, leaving nothing but a crater on the ground that could be more than ten meters long and still sending out wisps of gunpowder smoke.
"Calm down, you need to calm down at this time"
My sister also knew that Ma Tao was really angry before he used his main cannon to blast the laser earthworms.
Boom~
There was another sound of the 115T cannon, and the second laser earthworm was also torn into pieces by the flames, and its parts were scattered in the crater.
Da da da! !
The No. 3 minibus has no secondary cannon and can only attack with its main cannon. Otherwise, it will definitely not use its main cannon to attack such a laser earthworm with an extremely simple body structure. The jeep has a secondary cannon, and the secondary cannon can also destroy this laser earthworm. When raising monsters, Xiao Jinzi chooses the secondary gun.
Perhaps frightened by the two powerful main gun attacks, the two bomb turtles actually dodged into the ground and disappeared. At this time, there was no time to care where they went. The remaining one The laser earthworm once again condensed a dazzling laser beam from its mouth. Everyone was a little nervous because they didn't know who its target was.
The laser earthworm's attack damage is really too high. It is a blessing to be able to dodge even one attack.
In less than two seconds, the laser earthworm's attack was launched, targeting Xiao Jinzi's No. 2 Jeep.
The rate of fire of the laser weapon is really too fast. The attack has already arrived when you first see it, and Xiao Jinzi's jeep immediately loses a large piece of armor.
At this time, the No. 1 tank combat vehicle controlled by the C device had just finished filling its shells. Whether Ma Tao left it alone, the 115T gun fired another shot in the same way to destroy the last laser earthworm.
"Go quickly!"
This is the third time Ma Tao has said this. There is nothing I can do. I remember several more splashing sounds in the pool behind. Something must have come ashore again. There are too many monsters here. It seems like there is no end to the fight. The No. 1 tank combat vehicle has been beaten until now, and only less than 500 pieces of armor are left. How long has it been? Half of the installed pieces have been destroyed like this. Consumed.
The house leaked and it rained all night. After driving south for a while, Ma Tao really wanted to give himself a slap in the face.
The place they were driving through was a branch in a cave. The important thing was that this branch of the cave actually collapsed by the time they drove here. The road ahead was completely blocked by mountain gravel and soil, let alone Talking about the car, no one is even thinking about going there, and it seems that the landslide is not short, so it is impossible to get through it. The only way to go now is to go back the way they came, but going back the way they came means that they are very likely to get through. The situation when this encounter came from one side was what made Ma Tao worried.
Ma Tao, who was sitting in the co-pilot of the No. 1 tank, used the detector in his hand to check and found nothing suspicious. There was no point in staying here anymore. The sister who was in charge of driving the tank saw that his face was not good and she knew that Ma Tao was now. The depression in my heart. But that was the end of the matter, and my sister didn’t say anything.
Xiao Jinzi and Gao Han in the watch did not say anything. The result now is the choice of all of them. Since they have chosen, they must go on together. They also know that as the captain, Ma Tao must feel even more uncomfortable at this time. , they will not do anything to add fuel to the fire and make things worse. If there is any difficulty, we will fight together.
"Raise the speed and we will rush over as soon as possible"
It was pitch dark on the way back, but they had just walked through it. There were no deep ditches or pits along the way. It was all flat sand. It was precisely because of this that Ma Tao dared to ask everyone to speed up and rush over. After all, the illumination of the searchlights was limited. Moreover, artificial light and natural light are different after all. If they change to unfamiliar road conditions, they will be caught off guard if something unexpected happens ahead, which is very dangerous.
"receive"
Xiao Jinzi was always the first to respond to Ma Tao's instructions.
"Sister Han?"
Ma Tao is most worried about Gao Han. Relatively speaking, her driving skills are just a little bit behind.
"Take care of yourself"
Gao Han snorted softly, but his heart still felt warm. Having a captain who thought of them in times of danger would make people feel confident no matter what the situation.
It is still very easy to increase the vehicle speed from the previous 20 mph to about 60 mph with the BUL engine. However, because the ground here is all fine sand, the 60 mph vehicle speed is still not as fast as on the ground on such road conditions. Sometimes it is even There will be wheel slippage, but the No. 1 light tank tank has steel tracks, and the sand has little impact on the tracks, so the No. 1 tank only needs to increase the speed to forty or fifty miles.
The three tanks returned to the underground lake much faster than when they arrived. Even so, they still had to fight two or three times along the way, killing two acid ants and three laser earthworms before reaching them. Near the ramp when they came, Ma Tao's No. 1 tank had been hit by laser earthworms and only had 660 pieces of armor left. It was already in terrible shape.
The rest of the jeeps and minibuses were not doing well either. Xiao Jinzi's jeep still had 588 pieces of armor left. Gao Han's No. 3 car suffered the most losses, with only 7 pieces of armor left from the original 1,500 pieces. Nearly half of the more than one hundred and twenty armors were lost.
Originally, Ma Tao planned to go back to the second floor directly after arriving here, but when they were about to reach the exit, the vehicle-mounted searchlight swept over, and there were actually seven or eight mechanical earthworms crawling up the ramp at the exit. At this time, device C gives another warning.
'warn! Laser earthworm spotted close to '
'warn! Laser earthworm spotted close to '
But this time Nick, the C device, gave an early warning.
Early warning and warning are different. Early warning is the appearance of monsters discovered by C device in advance, while warning means that monsters are trying to rush in this direction. The early warning position of C device is behind the three tanks. In other words, at this moment, in the convoy There must be some monster appearing behind them, but the monster has not noticed that these three chariots are not coming in their direction, but they have just passed the road behind. There is only one road with no other passages, and suddenly a monster appears behind them. It must be a laser earthworm or a mine turtle, because only these two monsters will hide underground, but no matter what kind of monster appears behind their car, Ma Tao doesn't want to provoke it. Once he fires, The seven or eight mechanical earthworms on the slope will definitely come down as well. Then they will attack from both front and back, and this battle will not be easy.
"Let's walk along the lake and go around the other side."
The alarm of device C has been continuing, which means that the unknown monster behind the convoy must still be wandering aimlessly. The distance is not very far. The three tanks parked here may be discovered at any time. Tao directly directed his sister to drive towards the lake to avoid the monsters on the slope leading to the second floor.
As the saying goes, the best strategy is to take advantage of the thirty-six strategies. Ma Tao never dreamed that one day he would be forced to hide everywhere by Noah's little minions. Now he has experienced it. Not only must he hide, but he must also tighten his tail. Hide.
No one laughed at Ma Tao's decision. From the current situation, it was still unclear whether they could walk out of this underground cave intact. The frequency of battles should be reduced as much as possible. Once the tank After completely losing the armor, you can only rely on the body's own design structure to resist subsequent attacks. However, this can easily cause damage to the equipment on the vehicle. No one really wants this unless it is a last resort.
They walked cautiously along the edge of the underground lake, keeping the sound of movement to a minimum as much as possible. After fighting so many times, their combat experience was summed up, just like the pair they met before who were living here in seclusion. The old couple said the same thing. The monsters here generally have no vision and rely on their sharp hearing to judge the specific location of the enemy. The dark space in the underground world has degraded all the creatures here. Of course, mechanical earthworms are is an exception, because this kind of monster has relied on hearing to attack humans since it was created by Noah.
This method is really effective. After driving for a certain distance, the warning of the C device changes from red to yellow, and finally turns to green, which means that the warning has been lifted. The No. 1 tank combat vehicle driven by my sister almost stops and goes. , because we also have to consider Ma Tao's use of a detector, which is fine. After all, the faster the machine runs, the louder the sound will be. This bit-by-bit privacy is quite good.
In this way, the three chariots followed the river to the edge of the cave. The metal detector still found nothing, and Ma Tao almost wanted to give up.
I thought there would be some treasure in this place, but so far there is nothing. I don’t know whether it’s because I’m looking for it in the wrong way or because I’ve run out of luck. In short, Ma Tao has some doubts about his judgment.
The monsters in this place are so fierce and there are so many. It is really not a place that ordinary people can come to. Ordinary people can't resist a wave of attacks from laser earthworms. As for why there are no corpses here, this It's too simple. There are not only terrifying monsters like mechanical earthworms in the cave, but also biological monsters such as acid ants and missile frogs. Speaking of acid ants, it doesn't take a minute to digest a corpse.
"Let's take a rest. I think we won't be discovered by monsters if we stop here."
My sister looked at Ma Tao, who looked like a bitter melon, and said.
"Okay, let's take a rest."
Ma Tao was also a little tired. As my sister said, although this place is dangerous, as long as you stop pretending to be a dead object, it will become quite safe. Of course, mechanical monsters will not It cares whether you move, like mechanical earthworms, but you just don't actively provoke them. Under normal circumstances, the possibility of encountering a monster attack if you don't move is very small, and the probability is about one in ten. about.
"Brother Tao, is the metal detector still not responding? Is it broken?"
Xiao Jinzi's chirping voice came through his watch, and he even started to doubt the detector.
"impossible"
Ma Tao moved his arms, then put the detector he had been holding on the instrument screen in front of him and answered him.
My sister casually took it and looked at the picture displayed on the detector and asked, "How to use this thing?"
"Just check whether the azimuth light above jumps or not."
Ma Tao closed his eyes and sat on the seat behind him, then stretched out his arms and replied.
"Is it a jump?"
Sister asked suddenly.
"yes"
Ma Tao was still stretching with his eyes closed, but the next second he suddenly opened his eyes, sat up straight, and then looked at his sister beside him in surprise.
"Is it like this?"
The sister raised the detector in her hand and pointed the screen towards Ma Tao and asked.
I saw that the corner of the display screen of the detector in my sister's hand was flashing a red light. Although it was very weak, it was indeed dancing.
"this…………"
Ma Tao looked at the little red dot displayed on the detector with a look of disbelief. Just now, the machine didn't react at all in his hand. Now Ma Tao took the detector directly from his sister's hand. Something strange happened. It happened again, the little red dot on Ma Tao's hand magically disappeared as soon as the metal detector reached it.
this……
what's the situation?
Ma Tao stared blankly at the metal detector he was holding in his hand, a little confused. Could it be that this thing also has its own stubborn temper, or does it dislike him?
