Fortunately, all three of them wore protective lead suits to ensure their own safety.
"I'll go! Why is the radiation value so high! It's really scary!
We won't die from skin ulcers all over our bodies like the book says, right? Li Yang, I think it's more important to save our lives. Let's retreat to Fortress No. 1. "
Zhao Kai glanced sideways at the radiation measuring instrument in Li Yang's hand that kept beeping beeps. He felt panicked and wanted to retreat.
"Zhao Kai! Can you shut up! Don't disturb the morale of the army here and disturb Li Yang's work?
Thanks to your tallness, you are so afraid of death! Why didn't I see that before? "
Jiang Feng thinks that Zhao Kai is a bit annoying. Now is the time to boost morale. This fool wants to persuade him to quit. It is simply stupid!
"Hey! Jiang Feng, you can't slander anyone! I, Zhao Kai, am a man who stands upright and is a pure man!
I'm not afraid of death! If there was a war, would I not be at the forefront?
The main reason is that dying like this is a bit unclear and a bit unfair. I don’t think it’s worth it. "
Li Yang was a little upset by the quarrel between the two people, so he said with a straight face: "Okay! You two, stop bickering!"
When Zhao Kai heard this, he immediately shut his mouth and stopped talking. Jiang Feng glared at him and said nothing more.
"Strange, why is this radiation concentrated at the edge of this small mountain peak?
There is nothing there but swamp mud, not even mineral deposits. "
Li Yang looked at the swamp in confusion, wondering what was going on.
"Is there anything strange about this? If we go over and dig up the muddy water in the swamp, wouldn't we know what's going on?
If there's something in there, we're sure to find something! "
Zhao Kai said easily that he was just talking casually, but Li Yang took it seriously.
"Well, the method you mentioned is very good. Let's go over and dig through the muddy water in the swamp."
"Me? No, no! Li Yang, we are brothers, you can't cheat me!
Once a person steps into a swamp, he will definitely die. He will be swallowed immediately, and the more he struggles, the deeper he will sink. I won't go! "
Zhao Kai expressed strong opposition. This was not a good thing and he did not want to do it.
"I'll just draw you a water excavator."
Li Yang took out his magic pen and drew a water excavator directly, and gave the key to Zhao Kai.
"This arduous and glorious task is entrusted to you! If you make a major discovery, it will be a huge contribution. When I return to Dungeon No. 6, I will definitely tell Professor Han and let him reward you heavily!"
Li Yang patted Zhao Kai on the shoulder, frowned, and spoke seriously.
"I..., okay! If I don't go to hell, who will! Today I will risk my life!"
Zhao Kai wanted to hit someone, but he had trouble saying that there was nothing wrong with Li Yang's task assignment, because Li Yang was the military commander of No. 6 Underground City and the person in charge of this mission. He must obey orders.
So Zhao Kai gritted his teeth, took the keys and got into the car.
"Forget it Zhao Kai, you are impatient and impatient, you are not as careful as me, so I'll go ahead."
At this time, Jiang Feng thought of his deep brotherhood with Zhao Kai. Although this guy was usually a bit silly and had a bad temper, at the critical moment, he couldn't bear to face Zhao Kai's danger.
"Go, go! Don't rob me of everything! What? You also want to make meritorious deeds and receive awards?
Tell you, it’s impossible! The credit for this is mine! No one can take it away! "
Zhao Kai said deliberately angrily, and got into the excavator cab after saying that. He knew that Jiang Feng was afraid that he would be in danger, so he couldn't give in and shrink back, and he definitely couldn't lose face in front of his friends.
"Zhao Kai! Pay attention to safety!"
Li Yang loudly warned that the reason why he asked Zhao Kai to do such a dangerous thing was definitely selfish, but more importantly, he was considering the overall situation.
If Li Yang digs the swamp by himself, if danger arises and something unexpected happens to him, the magic pen in his hand will lose its function, and no one will be able to successfully control the magic pen.
This will cause a series of serious consequences: because there is no longer an inexhaustible supply of supplies, Jiang Feng and Zhao Kai may not be able to return to Underground City No. 6, and Xu Meng will have no one to rely on. At the same time, the supplies in Underground City No. 6 will also be lost. It will be exhausted, and then violent turmoil will occur!
Therefore, Li Yang cannot do this, and Jiang Feng's adaptability is slightly lower than Zhao Kai, so Zhao Kai is the only best candidate.
"God bless me! I don't want to die in this stupid place!"
Zhao Kai prayed secretly while driving an excavator to clean up the mud in the swamp.
Suddenly he felt that he had dug something very hard, and he immediately used an excavator to fish the thing out of the swamp.
"Li Yang, look what is this?"
When Li Yang heard the shouting, he immediately took Jiang Feng over to check the situation.
On the ground beside the swamp was something that Zhao Kai had just salvaged. It was a large stainless steel box with a yellow skull painted on it. It looked like a dangerous item.
"What's this?"
Li Yang was very surprised and slowly pointed the radiation measuring instrument at the stainless steel box.
Didi didi! Didi didi!
As a result, the display screen of the radiation meter immediately turned red, and the value soared to the highest level!
"Retreat! This is used nuclear waste!"
Li Yang immediately understood what was in the box. Apart from discarded nuclear fuel, it was impossible for anything to be so radioactive.
The three of them hurriedly retreated for more than a few hundred meters, and then relaxed a little.
"It seems that we have found the reason why this rare earth mine keeps releasing radiation. Someone secretly buried nuclear waste here."
Li Yang made the final summary. He didn't expect that such a difficult problem could be solved so easily.
"Hahahahaha! It seems that I made a great contribution by accident!"
Zhao Kai was very happy, and the tension in his heart was gone.
"Then can we go back and recover? Then Chief Wang will also give us some nuclear fuel as promised?"
Jiang Feng felt relieved. He didn't want to stay here for a moment. He always felt flustered and didn't know what was going on.
"We can't go back yet, Chief Wang has one more request that we haven't completed yet.
I heard from Heitie that there seems to be a huge life form hidden in this rare earth mineral vein. We still need to eliminate this monster that we have never seen before and remove all obstacles to the mining of rare earth minerals in Fortress No. 1. "
Li Yang also wanted to go back and recover quickly, then get the nuclear fuel and return to Dungeon No. 6, but things were not that simple.
"Bullshit life form! How can there be any breathing creature here?
The radiation here is so severe that no living thing can survive, right?
I suspect that Kurogie and the others have made a mistake, or they are deliberately trying to mess with us. "
Zhao Kai looked in disbelief, because this was too contrary to common sense. There was no grass growing here, and the radiation was so severe. How powerful and tough creatures could survive?
"Yes! Li Yang, is this just an excuse for Kurogie and the others?
I feel like it’s impossible for any living thing to survive in this kind of place. It doesn’t have any food, right? "
Jiang Feng also agreed with Zhao Kai's view and felt that this matter was ridiculous and impossible.
However, Li Yang didn't think so. He believed that everything was possible. Even if Heitie joked with him, Heitie would never dare to joke with Wang Kunlin.
“Your analysis is not wrong, but I think Kurogane has no reason to deceive us.
Well, I'll find out if there are monsters or not by detecting them. "
Li Yang took out his magic pen and drew a high-precision life detector, which can easily detect organisms within a depth of one hundred meters. As long as there is temperature, it can be detected.
Li Yang took the life detector and scanned the surrounding rare earth veins back and forth, looking for clues.
Didi didi!
Following the loud prompt, Li Yang discovered that the outline of a creature appeared on the life detector, and the creature was still squirming. Its body temperature was very high, and it was easily detected by the life detector.
"Look, there is an unknown creature under this swamp? What is it?"
Li Yang was a little nervous and had a bad feeling in his heart that they were about to encounter something very dangerous.
"Let's see, it's really weird. Are there really any living things here?"
Jiang Feng said as he walked and came to Li Yang's side.
Zhao Kai also came over and stretched his neck to look at the life detector in Li Yang's hand.
"Huh? What is this? Why does this thing look so similar..."
Zhao Kai stopped talking halfway through his words, so Li Yang asked him: "What's it like? You're telling me?"
"Ahem, this is just my personal opinion. I think this thing looks like maggots in the toilet. Look at the outline of the body and the way it squirms. It really looks like it."
Zhao Kai scratched his head. Although this comparison was not appropriate, he really felt that the two were very similar.
"Well, you are right, but the creatures in the swamp should be leeches."
Li Yang thought for a while but felt something was not right.
"Isn't it right? I've seen that leech, and it's not as big as one of my fingers. How could it be shown in the life detector?
I think the thing in the life detector is at least about the same size as a cow, right? "
Jiang Feng raised a question. His question was reasonable, which made Li Yang a little nervous because he had never seen a leech as big as a cow!
"It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Let's leave quickly and return to Fortress No. 1 immediately!"
Li Yang felt a little uneasy. After speaking, he took the lead and ran in the direction of the eight-wheeled off-road vehicle.
Balulu! Balulu!
At this moment, a large pool of muddy water began to emerge from the swamp behind, like boiling water!
Boom!
The next second, a huge black leech burst out of the mud from the swamp. Its body just squirmed back and forth a few times, and it moved forward at an alarming speed. In an instant, it arrived not far behind Li Yang and the others.
"Holy crap! It's really a leech bigger than a cow! Now we're doomed!"
