Chapter 651 Changes in the Underground Environment
The condition of the temporary base is better than expected.
But it is definitely not optimistic.
After confirming that Leitz, who was in charge of equipment maintenance, had stopped heartbeat, the remaining five people did not hesitate, and immediately, led by Erin, lowered their voices and headed out of the base.
After coming out.
The first thing you see is the open space between the wall and the base building.
Then his eyes fell on the wall. Ronald and the others could clearly see that several connections on the wall were twisted. Even when they came out, a blue-skinned creature just happened to get in from here!
"Tsk..."
Because they discovered this animal first this time.
Erin didn't choose to shoot directly in anger, but instead said hello and asked Yanni to shoot the guy with a quieter crossbow arrow.
Yanni is skilled in movements and has good accuracy.
He held his breath for a few seconds and shot an arrow. The sharp arrow instantly penetrated the animal's head. Then looking at Ronald next to him, Yanni's expression was a little broken:
"Yang, if the teacher knows that I killed an animal that has not been studied at all in biology, he will be mad!"
Luo ! A wry smile appeared on Nader's face:
"Emergency evacuation, this is barely considered an emergency evacuation."
"Besides, there is nothing we can do."
At the same time, taking advantage of Yanni's opportunity to take action.
Mercenary Mr. Erin quickly returned to the camp and pulled out Lez's body and a box.
Later, this guy's operations were so realistic that he was completely unemotional.
He first removed the rollers from the box, and then barely blocked the gap in the wall. Then Aerion picked up the monster corpses in the camp and threw them directly outside the wall. Finally, it was the turn of Lez's body that he had dragged all the way.
The remains of this companion were not respected at all and were placed directly in the northeast corner of the camp by Aerion.
——That place is a dead end in the underground cave.
If a large number of monsters come here later, smelling the smell of blood and looking for them from the corpse will inevitably be delayed to a certain extent.
"I swear - I must bring a blast wall next time I go on a mission."
"These so-called new technologies can't even stop wild beasts, they're not reliable at all."
At this time, Erin, who had arranged these things, started again He stood up, still cursing and complaining about the equipment in the camp.
As a doctor, Ivy was very dissatisfied with his behavior.
So he immediately said:
"If it weren't for the special situation now, I would never allow you to use the corpses of your companions as bait!"
"You also know that the situation is special now, right?" Hearing Ivy's words, Erin didn't hesitate. He smiled nonchalantly, and then continued, "Okay, now let's talk about my plan." "
First of all, Lao Yang and the others had already seen the situation in the direction of the cave entrance when they came. It was blocked by a large number of these creatures. Come on, it's definitely not possible for us to go back the way we came and escape from here. So - let's continue deep underground and meet up with Angel and Delat on the other side of the ruins." "You guys don't have any objections, right?
"
Ai As soon as Ryan finished speaking, during the previous discussion in the conference room, Grady, who also wanted to stay here for inspection, immediately raised his hand in agreement:
"Of course you have to trust the professionals at this time." "
We are now continuing to go deep into the underground ruins, with Erin Safety can also be guaranteed."
"..."
Several other people in the team looked at each other.
That being said, Laiz's body hasn't been gone for long.
However, probably due to the impact of the death of unknown creatures and companions, several people who had other ideas before remained silent in the end. In this case, Grady, who had an obvious intention, cooperated with Erin to express his thoughts, and finally everyone agreed to the plan in a depressing atmosphere.
After all, the truth is there - there are a lot of dangerous creatures in the direction of the exit.
"..."
Seeing that the command of the team was back in his hands.
A satisfied smile appeared on Aerion's face, and he immediately began to assign work:
"Very good, everyone's opinions have been unified."
"Now, let's..."
Bang bang bang -
Aileen just said this. At the beginning, the few people wearing headphones on their heads heard the sound amplified by the sound pickup function again.
This time is different from before.
In the direction leading to the outside of the tunnel, animals are still approaching.
But the number is definitely much higher!
The sound of so many running beasts reached my ears, and they were still approaching at the same time. If I were to go back and make preparations at this time... - I would
definitely be looking for death!
As a mercenary, Aerion naturally understands this.
There was an obviously disgusted expression on his face. Although he was very unhappy, he immediately waved his hand:
"Let's go, let's retreat immediately."
"Otherwise, it's too late."
Faced with the danger that threatened everyone's lives, the five people The team showed a very high degree of tacit cooperation. Under the leadership of Erin, they dismantled a wall on the side of the base to expose a gap, and then trotted deeper into the tunnel through this.
Gradually, the surrounding environment changes as you advance.
What surprised Ronald was that the temperature here did not increase as the depth decreased, but instead began to become colder!
Until a quarter of an hour later -
there was even frost on the ground ahead!
Ronald could tell at a glance that this was a natural formation. The water contained in the ground was forced to stay on the surface of the soil due to the low temperature.
At this moment, Ronald remembered the previous mission report - this is the polar circle.
Perhaps the environment ahead...
was completely different from any underground adventure he had experienced before.
It didn't take long for Ronald's suspicion to be confirmed.
As the team continued to go deeper, the freezing marks on the ground became more and more obvious, and even the soil changed accordingly. The low temperature caused the area to completely turn into frozen soil, and gradually large blocks of ice covered the surrounding surface.
The lighting equipment in the team shines light on these ice blocks.
The reflected light can even make people dizzy!
Fortunately, the equipment in the team is quite professional, and Aerion and others have entered this area before, so they are prepared.
After putting on goggles to avoid the impact, the team continued deep underground.
In the process of moving forward, Yanni and Ronald, who came here together, basically stayed close to each other to look after each other. Erin and Grady, who had the same goal, walked in front and were responsible for opening the way.
Only Ivy, as a doctor, has an ambiguous attitude.
In addition to bickering with Erin, she would also chat with Ronald from time to time, generally asking some scientific questions to get closer.
...
Just like that, half an hour passed.
The underground environment has finally undergone earth-shaking changes.
From here, no soil can be seen around. No matter around you, above your head or under your feet, you can see hard and ancient ice everywhere in any direction.
The conditions here are even similar to what Ronald saw during his glacier expedition.
Only by exploring the natural cracks formed between the ice blocks could the team continue to move forward in this environment.
As a doctor, Ivy looked thoughtful.
Not long after entering this terrain, she took the initiative and said to Ronald and Yanni:
"Don't worry too much, we are almost there."
