After receiving the coordinates of the entrance to the safe pa.s.sage, it took Feng an hour and 47 minutes to reach the marked location. Originally, if he ran at full speed, he would only need ten minutes. However, he chose to walk closer step by step and kill some Human-Faced Moths along the way while replenis.h.i.+ng some "food". Zero is a picky eater, and the human face moth doesn"t have enough muscle fibers, so it uses the brain most for snacks.
The brain is rich in protein, amino acids and other nutrients needed by the human body. Of course, the brain juice of a human face moth is not delicious at all. They are bitter and astringent, and contain small amounts of neurotoxin, but zero is like a hungry man. Usually, after killing a human face moth, he would use his light teeth to open the brain of the monster bug, and then carefully pick out and eat the little fist-sized brain of the worm that was wrapped in a greyish-white fat cortex.
By the time Zero reached the entrance to the five-story base, there were already no less than a hundred Man-Faced Moths" heads hollowing out for him. But even so, Zero still felt sick from hunger. Although the Insect Brain was nutritious, it was far from being as nutritious as this kind of food that contained a huge amount of calories and nutrition after being purified. Thus, although he had eaten a lot of snacks, he was able to recover about 5% of his energy.
If he wanted to recover all his energy, he would probably need to eat thousands or even more Human-Faced Moths. Adepts, after all, consumed a great deal of energy, as well as a great deal of energy. If it weren"t for the nutrients, the Adepts would have to spend two-thirds of the day on food. That was unthinkable.
When Zero appeared, Feng and the others were sitting cross-legged at the entrance. Zombie and Gemini, on the other hand, were keeping watch nearby. At midnight, Gemini was about to attack, but he stopped her in time.
Eva looked deeply at Zero. In her eyes, the life energy of zero was dim. Although his energy was recovering, with this slow speed, if he were to eat normally, it would take him at least two days to recover to his peak condition.
"You"re hurt." "I don"t know," Eve said flatly, her eyes darting over the crisscrossing scars on her body.
Zero took off his helmet, shook his head and said, "He won"t die. Instead, it"s you guys, there"s been a big problem. "
Feng jumped up from the ground, and after making some gestures with his hand, he said exaggeratedly, "Fish, such a big fish." Their speed is comparable to a speedboat, and their biting power is five times that of a shark, but more importantly, they have at least a thousand. "
After mumbling incoherently, Su Feng impatiently pushed him away. With a more organized expression, Zero roughly understood the situation of the five-storey base. The five-storey base was already filled to the brim with water. When Feng and the others entered the base, the water level only reached their knees. But ten minutes ago, the third Kansan had discovered that the water level was already halfway to the waist.
The trouble was, the water in the five-storey base was almost entirely occupied by the descendants of the Crypt Lords. Those extremely fast, bloodthirsty, and cruel strange fish were swimming in the water all the time, and there was almost no way to cross their internal and external layers of overlapping sealing lines.
A tactical board was placed on the floor, and the screen displayed the map of the five level base. The various shapes of the buildings above showed different functions. There were offices, testing rooms, laboratories, archives, etc. As for the mission items for the team of zeros, they were placed in the archive room. Looking at the screen, even if it was a straight line from the exit of the safe pa.s.sage to the archive room, it would still be about 2000 meters away. If he followed the route given by the intellectual brain, the distance would be even longer. More importantly, this distance was filled with red dots of light.
Each light dot represented a strange fish, so there were at least four hundred fish blocking their path. With so many people, unless Feng or Eva were willing to show real strength, it would be difficult for them to break through from the front.
"It"s not like there"s nothing we can do." After understanding the situation in the base, Zero said calmly, "First, find the location of the archive and make a gap there. But right now we don"t have enough equipment or gunpowder, so this method shouldn"t work. "Now, I can only use the second method …"
Within the fifth floor of the base, the water level was still rising. Originally, the low temperature in the west had caused the underground water to freeze. However, in order to give the next generation an environment where they could grow up, the Underground Lord used his immense biological energy to heat up and melt the frozen ground water, but gushed it into the underground base. The temperature of the sewage was extremely low, but because it was underground water, there was very little radiation. If a certain amount of water was taken to the surface for treatment, it could also be turned into pure water for drinking in the wilderness.
In the new era, the definition of clean water is different to clean water, not to mention low-radiation drinking water. The higher the level of the clean water, the less radiation there is in the water. But now, this lowest level area of clean water had become the hotbed for the strange fishes.
They forage, grow, and eventually evolve into maternal amphibians.
However, not all of these strange fish could evolve into Crypt Lords. Amongst these thousands of strange fish, there could only be one Crypt Lord. From birth, they would not only have to contend with the environment, but also have to compete with their own kind. When there was food, the weird fish would cooperate to hunt, but if there was a lack of food, they would fight in advance.
Right now, a few of the strange fish were biting at each other. They chased each other at an extremely fast speed, biting at each other with their huge mouths as they seized the opportunity. Given the frightening size of the strange fish"s bite range, once it was similarly bitten, it meant that it would lose less than half of its body. It didn"t take long before the water was filled with blue blood.
The same type of blood, yet it had attracted even more of its own comrades to partic.i.p.ate in this battle. Gradually, more and more fish corpses floated on the surface of the water with their white bellies turned over, becoming the victims of this cruel battle.
As the battle became more and more intense, the strong smell of blood wafted into the water. The madness in the eyes of all the monster fishes gradually disappeared. They suspiciously used their special organs to identify the source and category of the smell of blood in the water. Very quickly, the image of the human face moth appeared in their minds. They were very satisfied with their first meal after birth, as well as with the strange taste of the human face moth.
Now, the smell of blood in the water had piqued their interest. Thus, the strange fish stopped their slaughter of their own species. They flapped their tails, or used the jet organs on their tails to speed up, swimming towards the source of the smell.
It was an examination room, and most of the room had been flooded by the sewage. The room was marked with numbers. At the entrance of the entrance, a dozen or so humanoid moths were pinned to the wall by sharp objects that pa.s.sed through them. The sharp objects were not nailed to the vital points of the man-faced moth, so they did not die immediately. However, the insect blood that flowed endlessly to the surface of the water from the wound caused the body of the Face-Moth to lose its temperature.
The man-faced moth struggled, but was unable to break free. In the darkness, a blood-red light lit up at the entrance of the testing room. A weird fish swam in through the door, and it quickly swam under a many-faced moth. However, the man-faced moth was quite a distance away from the surface of the water. The strange fish opened its mouth to bite, but instead bit the air. However, the strange fish was not willing to give up. It sank into the water, and with a twist, it quickly dove into the water.
The moment it broke through the surface of the water, two streams of water spurted out of the tail of the monster fish, creating a huge burst of momentum. It was as if the monster fish had jumped out of the water at a distance of five meters!
The strange fish jumped up and down, as fast as lightning, and fell towards the face of the moth. It opened its mouth wide and bit into the face of the moth before suddenly pulling down. The man-faced moth immediately fell into the water with the strange fish. The water surface began to boil, but calmed down in an instant. Following which, a large number of blood blisters rose from the surface of the water.
At the same time, more and more strange fish swam into the testing room. They churned the calm water like sharks waiting to devour a man, and repeated the movements of sinking, falling out of the water, and tearing at their prey. Suddenly, the three hundred square meters of testing room was filled with strange fish. There were at least a hundred of them!
While the strange fish were busy hunting, a grenade was thrown in from outside. At the same time, the door of the testing room was quickly closed and locked.
The grenade flew through the air in a beautiful arc before landing lightly on the head of a strange fish. The strange fish naturally did not know what it was, but as the grenade rolled in front of it, a hot stream of air was suddenly released from the grenade. Following which, an orange glow filled the monster fish"s eyes.
The energy released by the high-energy grenade was at its peak in this limited s.p.a.ce within the testing room. The light from the explosion burned the air, creating a vacuum that provided a favorable environment for the flow of energy. So the terrible shock wave destroyed everything they touched, the sewage flew everywhere, the weird fish and human-faced moths were torn to pieces, and the testing room shook violently. Although it did not collapse in the end, a series of soul-stirring cracks appeared, revealing the complicated circuits hidden within the metal walls.
When the door of the testing room was pushed back by the explosion, a thick smoke mixed with a fishy smell drifted out. Seeing the state of affairs, Ma pei gave a thumbs-up.
The dozen or so Human-Faced Moths were captured by the team from the base on the 4th floor and then intentionally nailed to the walls of the testing room. The smell of blood that the monster fish smelled was from the body of the Man-Faced Moths. After that, Feng intentionally collected the blood and threw it into the midst of a battle between the fish. Otherwise, when the blood of the manface moth flowed to the area occupied by the strange fish, he didn"t know how long it would take. Furthermore, after the blood was diluted by the sewage, the smell might not be strong enough to attract the strange fish"s attention.
All of this had been planned out meticulously, and the trap was just the beginning of the whole plan. Then, the loud explosion that followed attracted all the strange fish nearby. But what greeted them was the line of fire formed by the crossover of the bullets. The school of fish that was attacked head on chose to retreat temporarily due to their instincts. However, the sudden surge of killing intent from behind told the school of fish that this was a trap that they would never be able to return from.
Right behind the strange fishes, Eva rushed forward with her sword out of the water. Beside her were the giant-like living corpse twins. This master and his servant charged through the water, their tyrannical aura deeply shocked the descendants of these Nerubian Lords.
The overlapping of layers of traps was the first part of the plan that was envisaged by Su Hao, which was called bait the enemy. After the monster fish"s line of sight was s.h.i.+fted, the empty pa.s.sage would naturally facilitate the plan to enter the second half of the base from zero!
