Chapter 647: The wonderful cave ecology
has almost revealed the identity information.
Ronald waved to Yanni in front of him, and then stood up on his own initiative:
"Okay, we've almost rested, let's go."
Yanni simply nodded:
"Okay, let's go... "
With the help of lighting tools, the two people moved forward steadily.
However, the trial of the original code is not for Ronald to experience life again.
Not long after the conversation ended, the two walked forward only a few hundred meters. There were some strange noises coming from the tunnel in the direction they came from.
"Huh?"
"What is this sound..."
Yanni looked strange on the side.
At the same time, Ronald had fallen to the ground neatly, pressing his ears tightly against the cold soil.
Soon, Ronald's expression became uncomfortable.
He stood up without hesitation and dragged Yanni to run deeper into the tunnel, and then explained:
"This noise does not sound like a natural disaster or engineering equipment, but is similar to the noise that social animals make when they are active. It's just that Because of the echo transmission in the tunnel, their current sound performance is rather strange."
"Old Yang, after all, you are more experienced..." Yanni almost subconsciously praised Ronald's ability. But soon, she also realized the specialness of the current situation, "That's not right! We are underground in the polar circle now. How can there be such underground creatures that move in groups in a place like this!" "Even if it is a cave ecosystem
. , This situation does not exist in the known field!"
Yanni's judgment was so decisive.
With the knowledge in her mind, she was obviously very confused about the situation at the moment.
Faced with the girl's dissatisfaction and complaints, Ronald's expression immediately fell:
"If possible, I also want to know what is going on?"
"But now we'd better be safe and hide in the camp ahead. Just hide."
The camp mentioned by Ronald refers to the temporary projects common in excavation and exploration work, usually used to deal with wild beasts or sudden natural disasters.
Now the two of them are going to support the exploration of the ruins.
Then a similar engineering base must have been arranged by the forerunners somewhere ahead.
So whatever the hell is that animal behind the tunnel.
As long as we can successfully hide inside and take advantage of the environment and the help of the explorers in other bases, we can at least solve the immediate crisis.
Yanni on the side obviously understood Ronald's thoughts.
So the girl simply nodded, and then followed Ronald without saying a word, and the two of them ran deeper into the tunnel.
Do this kind of work for a long time.
It is no problem for them to cope with long-distance running.
However, even as he continued to move forward, Ronald's expression gradually darkened.
The reason is simple -
the movement behind them is constantly approaching them.
With the habit developed through multiple battle experiences in other worlds, Ronald didn't have to worry about calculations and could quickly judge a result using intuition.
Less than five minutes.
Whatever is behind the two of them can catch up with them!
"..."
Things changed after that, just as Ronald expected.
It can even be said to be worse!
In just three minutes, the thing that kept making noises in the cave came to a distance that Ronald could see when he turned around.
They were a group of strange reptiles with icy blue skin and scales covering their bodies.
The sound Ronald and Yanni heard before came from a spherical organ on the neck of this creature. When they move, the spherical organ strikes and makes a sound, which is then gradually transmitted in the tunnel, and finally forms such a special movement.
And in a dark environment like a cave.
The eyes of these things are still shining like hyenas, revealing their danger at every turn.
It is also a matter of course.
Ronald was dumbfounded looking at these things.
What animal is this?
In the ecosphere of the earth that he knew, he could not find any species similar to, or close to, this kind of creature. Ronald has been working in this industry for so many years, and he has never heard of such a creature near the polar circle! .
Could it be that the environment in this trial...
isn't pure earth?
Ronald had a suspicion in his mind, so he turned around and asked Yanni, who was also running away:
"Yanni, do you know what kind of creature this is?"
Yanni's expression was very broken:
"Let's go to the biology major now. You will definitely not find any creature similar to this thing in the Harvard University Library, which is ranked number one in the world! Lao Yang, I remember that our company has never cooperated with the crew of any monster movies, right?" "
... ..."
The girl's reaction once again confirmed the current situation.
A wry smile appeared on Ronald's face, and he said with great helplessness:
"If there is any film crew that can make such a thing, then next year's Nobel Prize will definitely go to them." "
..."
Footsteps Speed up unconsciously.
While running, Ronald took the time to look back at the group of creatures behind him.
Judging from their claws, teeth, and the way they move, he felt that these animals should not be scavengers or herbivores, but carnivorous or omnivorous creatures!
In other words -
if he is caught up by these animals in this trial...
then Ronald, who is now powerless, will definitely be in trouble!
Snap—
pop—
pop—
suddenly, a burst of rhythmic gunshots came from the front.
In the tunnel environment, the already deafening gunshots were intensified, and for Ronald and the other two, it was as exaggerated as setting off firecrackers in their ears. Combined with the awkward feeling of high pressure in the underground environment, it is really very uncomfortable.
But gunshots can also bring good things.
Accompanied by this burst of rhythmic and precise bullets fired behind Ronald and Yanni, several animals chasing them were directly killed. These ferocious-looking animals immediately fell to the ground and turned into bloody corpses while tumbling.
Then, a scene that is relatively common in nature appeared.
Seeing a member of their own species being shot, this unknown group of animals stopped chasing without hesitation and started eating the corpse like a group of foraging cockroaches.
Get this opportunity.
The two of them, Ronald, finally distanced themselves from the animals.
In the cave not far ahead, Ronald finally saw the man who had just fired to support him.
This is a middle-aged man with a strong build.
While fully armed, what is more eye-catching is the assault rifle he holds in his hand.
Ronald immediately realized the identity of the other party.
This should be a security consultant from a consulting company hired by the organization, or to put it another way - a mercenary.
