Chapter 2237 Exploration
The group of federal soldiers was only about twenty people, but they were surrounded by countless instruments. They occupied a large area on the ground and looked extremely huge! After these federal soldiers stood solemnly, they collectively looked at the stranger, waiting for his orders.
“Let’s start the survey with this cave as the center!” I didn’t know each other and ordered. After watching the surveyors immediately disperse and start playing with the instruments, they looked at the cave intently. He said to Xingkong Haohan: "Xingkong, let's go to the city wall in front and have a look!"
"Go and have a look outside the city? Now? Just us?" Xingkong Haohan was stunned when he heard this. Face He looked at the unknown person in great surprise, then glanced in the direction outside the city with some confusion, then frowned at the unknown person and asked: "Susu, are you kidding me? Are we leaving Qiyu City to take a look now?”
“What? Are you scared?” The stranger raised his eyebrows and asked, “I remember you are not such a timid person. Ah!”
"Susu, what are you talking about? When have I ever been afraid?" Starry Sky Vast suddenly stared at the stranger with a slightly annoyed expression.
"If you're not afraid, then let's go!" The stranger said directly to the vast starry sky, turned around and walked towards the flying ship on the side!
After only taking a few steps, Xingkong Haohan quickly caught up with him and grabbed the stranger. Looking at his slightly frowning brows, Xingkong Haohan smiled awkwardly. Twice, let go of his arm. Finally, he said to the stranger: "Susu, shouldn't we first confirm whether there are any remnants of mutated beasts in the caves nearby?"
"Yes and no, what is there?" Relationship? "We don't know each other and look at each other sideways. He glanced at the vast starry sky, and then said: "If there are still mutant beasts here, can't so many people still solve them? The two of us can't play a big role if we stay, what's the point of staying? Not to mention , not here Are there any mutant beast hunters left? "They are enough!" Twice, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"What on earth do you want to say?" The stranger frowned, looked at the vast starry sky and asked: "When I see you like this, I always feel that there is nothing good going on!"
"Susu, you are like this What did you say? Why don’t I look like a good person? Kong Haohan suddenly stared when he heard this, and stared at the unknown person for a moment, then pointed at the people behind him, and asked the unknown person: "I just think that since we are going out of the city, people will always We should bring more! That’s what we are doing now! Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to just leave immediately? Su Su, look at the people behind us. We don’t have any mutant beast hunters with us. Is it appropriate to leave the city like this?”
Su The stranger looked around behind him with squinting eyes. Se, on the other hand, calmly faced the vastness of the starry sky and said, "What's inappropriate? If we don't go out, who else should go out? You mean, there are no mutant beast hunters, right?"
Starry Sky Vast immediately smiled and nodded.
On the front line, if you don’t have some mutant beast hunters, you always feel that something is missing!
"Mutant beast hunters are used at critical times. We are just going out of the city to have a look! Use the flying ship to patrol and see if we can find the exits of those caves outside the city. We don't need any mutant beast hunters to follow. !" The stranger withdrew his eyes from Xingkong Haohan and said calmly.
"No need? How could it be unnecessary!" Starry Sky Vast widened his eyes and said to the stranger: "Susu, you have never thought about it, what if we meet outside? If we get to the mutant beasts, if we have them, we can directly start shooting those mutants. It's a beast! This is a precaution! "
"We can just shoot the mutant beast!" The stranger looked unconcerned and continued to move forward. Go, facing the vast starry sky and saying: "Xingkong, don't forget, we are all those poisonous needles Yes, at least one shot per person, one or two people out of ten can hit it, right? This is enough chance! Or do you not really believe in yourself?"
Xingkong Haohan stared at him. , glanced at the stranger with an unhappy face, and then said: "Su Su , you have always looked down on me, haven’t you?”
“It’s you who looks down on yourself!” The stranger smiled and looked at the vast starry sky with a slightly annoyed look. , then he took a breath and said: "Let's go, let's set off quickly!"
Xingkong Haohuan nodded silently, and while following behind the stranger, he continued to say to him: "Susu, have you ever calculated how many poisonous needles we have left? The quota given to us by the federal government is not much. Yeah, wouldn’t it be a little uncomfortable to waste it like this? Great? We still have to plan for the future!"
"Waste? What is waste?" The stranger turned to look at Xingkong Haohan and said to him: " We come to the front line just to hunt and kill Aren't those poisonous needles used to deal with mutant beasts? If this is the case, then what is a waste? If the weapons are not used, then it is a waste! Besides, who has stipulated that every federal soldier should hunt? When transforming into mutant beasts, every The poisonous needles of the needle have penetrated into the body of the mutant beast? If it is so accurate, then what else do we need those mutant beast hunters to do?”
Xingkong Haohan was stunned when he heard this. Then he seemed to understand something, and then laughed He stood up and said: "Susu, what you said is correct! But I am a little worried. If we use up these poisonous needles and the next batch of supplies from the federal government have not been sent to replenish them, what if those mutant beasts And came to attack on a whim What will we do if we attack Qiyu City? Without poisonous needle weapons, even if we send out all the mutant beast hunters in Qiyu City, we will not be afraid of those mutant beasts!”
"That's what I say, but those How do the mutated beasts know that we have run out of poison needles and the supplies have not arrived?" The stranger raised his eyebrows and was about to say something else, but something suddenly occurred to him, and his expression suddenly became serious. , and then said to the vast starry sky: "No However, after we find out what happened in this cave, the material management in Qiyu City still needs to be investigated again!”
“Are you suspicious?” asked the stranger.
"Of course I'm suspicious! Didn't you remind me just now?" The stranger suddenly laughed. Looking at the vast starry sky, his face looked a little dazed, but he stepped up the stairs of the flying ship in a good mood, and then All the way towards the control room: "I haven't thought about this before. Now that it has been mentioned, I naturally have to check it out. It's a piece of material, but it is very important!" Xingkong Haohan nodded and silently recorded this matter in In my heart!
After everyone got on the flying ship, the stranger signaled to take off, and people drove the flying ship all the way outside the city wall.
Because there was a clearing of mutant beasts, the mutant beasts now are not as arrogant as before, and will come to test and attack Qiyu City from time to time! These mutant beasts seemed to be really frightened by the strangers and the mutant beast hunters. They all carefully observed the direction of Qiyu City and huddled within their own territory.
The flying ship flew in the direction outside the city, and the mutant beasts kept following it, looking at the direction of the flying ship from a distance. Occasionally, they would take a step closer, and then they would come again. They would step back several meters, looking cautious, as if everyone had developed a sense of fear.
After flying out of the city wall for a while, the flying ship lowered its height and began to slowly wander around the city wall. The mutant beasts in the wilderness followed the flying ship from a distance, watching. As soon as the flying ship turns around, it will immediately dodge again, watching eagerly, as if waiting for an opportunity! Waiting for the flying ship to open a gap, they will rush over directly.
The wilderness is now almost full of gravel and black residual traces that have been bombarded by various light wave cannons. Countless black The fly ash fell on the ground, and there was almost no green left!
The stranger frowned tightly and looked at the ground image surveyed on the light screen. He didn't even dare to blink more, for fear that he would miss something! However, after walking many times around the city wall and covering a large area, they still could not find the exit from the cave inside the city to the outside of the city.
“This is impossible!” The stranger frowned. He took out all the pictures and compared them. He also arranged for people to use electronic equipment to compare and search, but still nothing was found. So, strangers suddenly looked like He solemnly said to the vast starry sky: "Since there is a cave, there should be an exit! There must be a place in this wilderness for those mutated beasts to enter and exit the cave. Why can't there be no cave entrance? Is it possible? No, those mutated beasts can still Was it born from the ground? "
"Could it be that the exit of the cave is actually farther and deeper than we thought? It's too hidden, so we didn't see it." "The vastness of the starry sky, too? With a worried look on his face, he faced The stranger asked: "Susu, you also know that some mutant beasts should be very good at digging holes! Like them, it is very likely that they will choose an entrance from a far away place and keep heading towards us. You came from the direction of Yucheng, right?”
The stranger frowned, shook his head, and continued to flip through the pictures one by one, but still couldn't find any clues.
Time passed little by little, watching the sunset gradually sinking in the horizon, and the hazy night began to rise from the horizon. I didn’t know each other and looked at the dark outside the window of the flying ship control room, thinking After thinking for a while, he ordered everyone to prepare to return.
"Yes!" The federal soldiers in the flying ship quickly nodded in response, and immediately began to operate on the console, commanding the flying ship to turn a turn in the sky, and then headed towards Qiyu Go back towards the city.
However, the flying ship had not flown very far, and before it got close to the city wall of Qiyu City, news came out in the city.
The source of the news was naturally the federal soldiers surveying the cave.
I saw a federal soldier with a handsome face respectfully performing a military salute to a stranger in the light screen of the video call, and then said: "Let me tell you, Master Six, we have already obtained a rough result of the survey of the cave. !”
The stranger nodded to the federal soldier to continue.
“The only exit of the hole on the road was the one we found. But when the hole went about twenty or thirty meters underground, it began to spread out in all directions. We roughly estimated that there were The burrows spread out in six directions. Then we explored further along these six directions and found that the burrows were getting deeper and deeper. After entering the ground for perhaps nearly a hundred meters, they then converged in one direction! It's just because the data we obtained from the surface survey is not accurate, so if we want to have further and more detailed surveys now, we need to do more detailed surveys. Please apply to Master Six, and we will organize people to enter the cave for further investigation!" the federal soldier said with a pleading look.
"Have you found any traces of other mutated beasts in that cave?" The stranger frowned and asked with some concern.
“Not yet!” The federal soldier said to the stranger with a sure face, “There are no signs of life detected in the depths of the cave that can be surveyed now, but there is no sign of life. Know what it’s like a hundred meters below!”
"Those caves are all heading underground, not leaving the city?" The stranger thought for a while, looked at the federal soldier thoughtfully and asked again.
"It should be heading outside the city!" The federal soldier paused, and after thinking about it carefully, he said to the stranger: "The general direction of the cave is still heading outside the city. , but the location where they came in from outside the city should be very deep underground, and then they dug all the way up, and finally dug into our Qiyu City. To find the exit outside the city, we still need to go into the underground cave to survey It’ll take a while!”
"Yes!" The stranger nodded, seeming to look more relaxed, and ordered to the federal soldier: "Since you need to enter the cave, you should prepare! Bring more people, and the instruments Prepare all your other things, and pay more attention to safety! If you encounter a mutant beast, the most important thing is to save your life. If you lose other things, lose them!"
