Fang Chang: "Don't get excited yet, think about what happened at that time?"
Luo Yu: "I really don't know, I was gone after the nuclear bomb exploded. QAQ"
Ye Shi: "What happened before the nuclear bomb exploded?"
Luo Yu: "...It seems that a plot was triggered, but it was cut off by the nuclear explosion not long after it was triggered. Damn! It would have been fine a few minutes later, and I haven't asked what the price is!"
Fang Chang: "Plot? What plot? And what about the price?"
Luo Yu: "Mutated slime mold mother... By the way, there is also an old monster who has lived for more than a hundred years. He is the author of "Oasis under the Zhuobar Mountains" and a researcher from the academy."
Fang Chang: "Fuck!"
Ye Shi: "Fuck?"
Luo Yu: "Uh...Does this have anything to do with the bug? Didn't the planner say that I was blown up by the nuclear bomb and got the bug? (awkward)"
Fang Chang: "That may not be the case. If you play more games, you will know. , sometimes the official itself doesn't know where the bug is."
Ye Shi: "+1, in the end, they really can't find it, and it's not impossible to use the killer to roll back three days. (Funny)"
Luo Yu: "Damn, no way?"
Fang Chang: "I can't say. (Laughing with squinting eyes)"
Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes: "By the way, who will remind them? There is a mother body in the Lost Valley... Is it the mother nest or the mother body? I still don't know the difference between these two things."
Kuangfeng: "Where is Mosquito? Didn't he accept a mission?"
Lao Bai: "... He didn't reply to my message, probably logged in."
Luo Yu: "It's impossible to be alive? A million-equivalent nuclear bomb, brother! What carbon-based creature can withstand it?"
Yin Lena: "Tsk, a million-equivalent is nothing in this game. Qingquan City has seen all kinds of big scenes. Do you see the mother nest there scared? (Funny)"
Luo Yu: "(Nervous)"
...
Lost Valley.
At the pass leading to the valley, several collapsed boulders blocked everyone's way.
Jumped off the truck.
Sisi, wearing a protective suit, walked to the middle of the road and pushed the stone in front of her, but found that it did not move at all.
At the same time, as she approached this area, the Geiger counter on the VM began to jump, and the radiation index rose sharply.
The radioactive residue produced by the three-phase bomb is no joke.
If it were in reality, it would definitely be a mess if you walked two more steps inside.
Fortunately, this is a game.
Before putting on protective suits, everyone had been injected with anti-radiation agents, and the larger meaty meat had two injections.
"It should have been blown away from the center of the explosion... It will probably take a lot of time to dig this place out."
After retreating from the several boulders in the middle of the road, Sisi looked at the people in the truck behind him.
"It is recommended to walk."
"This is the only way."
Mole nodded and jumped off the car, and Mosquito followed him out of the car.
There are six people and one bear in the group.
In addition to the players, there is also a local guide from Petra Fortress.
Tail, wearing a steel helmet on his head, has already carried the engineer shovel and spade on his shoulders and asked excitedly.
"Oh! Where do we start searching?"
"I don't know," Rourou scratched the back of his head, "Are there specific coordinates?"
The index finger kept swiping on the VM screen, and Mosquito's face was full of subtle expressions.
"Uh... No, the coordinates given by the administrator seem to be just an approximate location."
Mole couldn't help but look back and asked: "Does that mean the entire Great Rift Valley is possible?"
Mosquito scratched his head.
"Eighty percent is."
Mole: "..."
The standard radius of the river bank is 10 kilometers, which means the total area is nearly 314 square kilometers!
Where the hell can such a large area be found?
If it weren't for the nuclear bomb, it would be fine.
As a vital signs monitor, VM can send its own encrypted coordinates to the surroundings, and this coordinate is shared among players.
But if this function is still effective after being hit by a nuclear bomb, it would be a miracle!
"In fact, it's not that there are no clues at all."
Pinching her chin and thinking for a moment, Sis said, "Assuming there are still bodies left, the shock wave of the nuclear explosion will push the debris on the horizontal plane to the outer wall of the valley, so in fact we don't need to go deep into the valley, just search along the outer circle of the valley."
"Makes sense!"
Mole's eyes lit up, and then added, "Brother Luoyu's attack direction is from south to north, so it is likely to land on the south or north side of the center of the valley!"
Sis nodded seriously.
"To be precise, it's the north side. I saw the approximate landing location of the plane before."
As she said, she looked at the guide who came here with them.
"Can you wait for us here?"
The guide looked a little hesitant.
Before setting off, the city lord specifically told him that the alliance was a partner of the Hump Kingdom and asked him to ensure the safety of these distinguished guests.
"But..."
"Let me be frank. The situation inside may be more complicated than we imagined. If you follow us in, you may become a burden."
Seeing that she said so, the guide no longer insisted and finally nodded.
Having heard various legends about the Lost Valley before, he obviously didn't want to get close to this ghost place.
"Be careful... This place is very evil. A merchant passed by here in the middle of the night and heard the cries of evil spirits inside."
Sisi nodded and loaded the submachine gun in his hand.
"I know."
The group climbed over the gravel roadblock and entered the valley, searching for the crash site along the inner hills.
The shock wave generated by the nuclear explosion completely changed the topography here. Sisi was surprised to find that the situation here was completely different from when she came before, and it had completely changed.
"Awesome... Is that the nuclear bomb crater over there?" Mosquito held a telescope and looked towards the center of the valley, only to see a shocking bomb crater printed on the ground.
Tail: "Oh! It was so spectacular when it exploded! Tail even recorded a video!"
Mosquito: "!! Show me!"
Just as the few people were whispering, a hoarse roar suddenly floated from the front.
The mole walking in front stopped and raised the LD-50 in his hand to aim at the front.
"... Gnawer?" Sisi frowned.
"Unlikely... I haven't seen this kind of monster in Qingquan City." Mole showed a vigilant expression on his face, pulled out the signal gun and fired a shot into the sky.
The fiery red flare rose into the sky and opened the parachute in the air.
The wine-red light illuminated the entire area, and the monster hidden in the dark also completely revealed its figure.
There were four humanoid creatures, crawling on the ground with their limbs, their heads embedded in their shoulders, their sharp teeth like sharks' serrations, and their scarlet eyes emitting a creepy light.
The iconic red bacterial plaques revealed their identities.
There was no doubt that they were all fruiting bodies of slime molds!
"Fire!"
The moment he confirmed the target, the mole pulled the trigger without hesitation, and a hot fire snake spewed out of the muzzle.
Except for the meaty who couldn't hold a gun, the four players fired at the same time, and the orange-yellow tracer instantly opened a death net in the dark valley.
"Hiss!"
The aliens crawling on the ground with their limbs let out a shrill cry, dodged a round of strafing, and the dust under them rose up, rushing up like a cannonball.
So fast!
The mole was surprised, the magazine was empty, and he immediately pulled out the engineer shovel hanging on his waist and slashed forward.
In a flash, the sharp shovel blade slashed on the alien's forehead, but it did not directly cut off half of its head. It made a crisp clang sound as if it had chopped on a stone.
The alien roared, raised a pair of front paws, and suddenly clasped forward, like a pair of scissors.
With his hair standing on end, the mole suddenly jumped back and barely avoided the fatal blow.
Fortunately, he had already reached the third stage of the sequence and completed the second awakening!
Otherwise, this blow alone would be enough to send him back to his hometown thousands of kilometers away.
"Everyone be careful! This thing is a bit evil--"
Roaring and retreating backwards, the mole threw the engineer shovel and hit it on the head, stopping it from rushing up, and pulled out the shotgun on his back.
"Bang!"
The thick flame exploded, the huge kinetic energy shattered the skull, and the violent lead bullet instantly poured into the alien's forehead, knocking its body back.
The Novice Village is in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City. Players have long accumulated rich experience in fighting against aliens and know that this guy will not be killed so easily.
The mole did not stop, pulling the trigger continuously, and fired three shots until the alien was blown to pieces and could not be assembled into a complete body.
On the other side, Zhimahu, Weiba and Sisi also fell into close combat after a round of strafing.
The small-caliber projectiles of the magnetic slingshot have no effect on the alien. Sisi, who had an empty magazine, quickly pulled out the two daggers tied to his thighs. At the moment of crossing them, he barely blocked the front paws that were coming towards him.
Dang!
The collision between lightning and fire was like the sound of cold weapons.
"Hmm..."
The huge impact and tearing feeling from the tiger's mouth made her groan, and a hint of surprise appeared on her originally calm face.
This power-
It's stronger than the crawler! ?
It is well known that even a powerful awakener needs to rely on the weapons of civilized people to fight against a completely super-powerful alien species.
It is obviously not a wise choice to fight with this monster with both strength and speed. Sisi quickly pulled back and was thinking quickly in her mind, but the tail next to her was one step faster than her.
"Oh oh oh!"
The half-meter-long bayonet turned into a cold light and stabbed the head embedded in the shoulder quickly, but it did not hit, but poked the shoulder socket next to the head.
The monster let out a hoarse cry and swung its front claws forward.
And at this moment, a majestic and deep beast roar came from the side.
"Roar!"
The bear paw with steel nails slapped the monster's forehead like a roaring locomotive.
The hard head exploded instantly, and the dark green slurry splashed, which scared Rourou and she quickly took a step back.
Facts have proved that this is correct.
The dark green slurry fell to the ground, making a hissing sound and rising white smoke.
"Oh oh oh! Well done, Rourou!"
The tail gave a thumbs up in surprise, and Zhimahu also looked at her in surprise.
"Ah, what is this?" Looking at the faintly burnt claws, Rourou widened his eyes in surprise.
Sis narrowed his eyes.
"Corrosive blood..."
Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid?
Or some unknown organic strong acid with stronger acidity.
The redox reaction in the blood is so stimulating, it is probably not a simple organic body.
No wonder the dagger felt so strange when it was chopped just now. A burst of bullets from the submachine gun caused a layer of skin to fall off.
This guy might really be made of stone.
Standing on a side of the mountain, overlooking the people below the mountain, Bai Ge smiled faintly.
"Beautiful."
He looked up at the slowly falling flare, and a trace of annoyance appeared in his eyes.
Light...
It's so annoying.
Although the light will not actually weaken his combat effectiveness, the instinctive aversion of slime mold to light will still make him feel physically uncomfortable.
After all, the symbiotic slime mold is also a part of his body.
What's more, the heat from the light will evaporate the few water, which is why he built the laboratory deep in the cave.
Speaking of which, why do these people break into his laboratory again and again.
Don't they have their own things to do?
If it's just digging a pit, it's fine. He can turn a blind eye and pretend not to see it.
But anyway, that nuclear bomb was too much.
The smile of Bai Ge gradually cooled.
It seems that four "Xiao Hei" are not enough.
Then...
How about this?
The corners of his rotten mouth curved slightly, and he snapped his fingers.
In fact, this action was completely redundant, but he thought it would be more handsome.
At the same time as the snap, his vocal cords emitted sound waves of more than 30,000 Hz, which spread outward in circles.
This sound was far beyond the range that human ears could capture, but it was just right for those "apostles" who obeyed him.
The sleeping fruiting bodies were awakened one after another.
Although most of them died in the nuclear explosion, those who survived were undoubtedly the strongest ones.
For example, the "evolved body" that coexists with rocks!
The crystallization of his "wisdom" and Xiao Hong's "life energy" - "Xiao Hei"!
These evolved forms, with obsidian skin and fused with the bones of predators, have both the speed of a crawler and the defense of a tyrant, like tanks flying close to the ground.
The nuclear bomb changed his mind, and he didn't plan to share the ruins with the outside world.
If these people insist on staying here.
Then stay forever.
Under the mountain, the mole suddenly looked around vigilantly, and his expression gradually became bad.
"Although I am not a perception system... but I always have an ominous premonition."
A series of black shadows gathered under the mountain in the distance, and more alien species seemed to be approaching this side.
The mosquito next to him swallowed his saliva and looked around vigilantly.
"... I have the same feeling."
Zhimahu suddenly covered her ears and squatted on the ground, and a painful expression flashed across her face.
Seeing this, Wei Tail immediately flashed to her side, squatted down and asked worriedly.
"Giao! What's wrong with you?! Are you uncomfortable?"
The pain was only a moment.
Zhimahu let go of her hands covering her ears in a daze, and slowly stood up from the ground with the help of Wei Tail.
"What a harsh sound, I seem to have tinnitus... Sorry, what did you say just now?"
The excessive pain was blocked, but the abnormal state was not relieved.
Sis frowned, put his hand on the top of her neck, and raised the volume of his voice.
"Cats can hear sound waves between 30 Hz and 45,000 Hz, and the highest can even reach 70,000... Can you roughly determine the direction of the sound?"
"I'll try..."
Zhimahu closed her eyes, focused her consciousness on hearing, and looked for the source of the sound.
Soon, her eyes suddenly opened, and her eyes suddenly locked on the mountain next to her, and the amber child's hole shrank slightly.
"There!"
Everyone looked up and followed her line of sight, turned on the flashlight, and saw a gnawer standing on the top of the mountain with a very pretentious posture, looking down at them with scarlet eyes.
It looked like a bad guy.
"Damn... Summoner, right?" Mosquito cursed and took out a mechanical crossbow from his back.
Seeing this primitive weapon, White Dove laughed.
"Haha, this childish trick is useless to me."
He watched the man pull the trigger without even dodging.
As he expected, the arrow didn't even hit him, but whizzed past his ear.
He guessed that the people down the mountain had run out of tricks, and just when he was about to taunt them and let them retreat, the roar of the explosion suddenly sounded from behind him.
A huge and hot airflow wrapped with shrapnel hit his back hard, catching him off guard, and the whole person fell forward and fell off the mountain.
"Hehehe, art is explosion!"
Looking at the gnawer falling from the mountain, Mosquito smiled evilly, stuffed another crossbow arrow into the mechanical crossbow, and turned the capstan to string it.
You little brat.
You're still too young to play with me!
"Control that guy!"
Not missing this opportunity, Mole shouted, and rushed up with a shotgun.
However, at this moment, the earth-shaking tremor suddenly came from under his feet.
Followed by a piercing long cry.
"Yiwu——"
The sound was melodious and delicate, like a played Qiang flute, with a hint of murderous aura in the ethereal.
At the same time, a whistling sound of breaking through the air came from the air.
It happened in a split second!
The moment he caught a glimpse of the afterimage coming from the air, Mole fell to the right almost reflexively, and rolled sideways on the spot, avoiding the afterimage that was rushing straight towards him.
The shadow hit the ground like a cannonball, crushing the ground, and instantly bursting into a piece of rubble and rolling dust.
Mole staggered to his feet, covered his mouth and nose and took two steps back, while raising the shotgun in his hand.
The dust dispersed.
When he saw the man standing in front of him clearly, his eyes suddenly widened, and the muzzle of the gun unconsciously pressed down an inch.
"Luo Yu?!"
Mosquito, who was holding a mechanical crossbow, also widened his eyes and cursed.
"Fuck?! Did you surrender to the enemy?"
Luo Yu did not answer, but just looked at everyone with lifeless eyes, standing there like a walking corpse.
The earth-shaking tremor did not stop even after the dust cleared, and even showed a tendency to intensify.
Feeling that the source of the earthquake seemed to be behind her, Sisi immediately turned back.
And the moment she saw the big guy, her face changed instantly.
Noticing the change in her expression, Tail also looked back along his line of sight, and his mouth suddenly opened as if a goose egg could be stuffed in.
"I giao!"
Gundam? !
No——
That thing should not be considered a Gundam, after all, it is not a standard humanoid.
The square body protruded forward, and the angular body was like an upright pistol. The rusty barrel was covered with red bacterial spots, and it was no longer clear what the original paint looked like.
It has no head, or rather, its head is buried in its body. Its sturdy mechanical forelimbs are propped up on the edge of the crater, holding up its bulky body. Its sturdy hind limbs are stepping on completely rusted tracks, and one foot is already outside the nuclear crater.
This guy is just like a Land Cruiser walking upright! It is more like a land fortress that is truly born for battle than the "Pioneer"!
Even the sturdy meat is as small as an ant in front of it.
What kind of monster can defeat this guy?
No——
Should I say what kind of monster is worthy of this thing?
Mosquito swallowed his saliva and muttered to himself.
"Is this thing... the 'Titan'?"
This modeling...
It's so awesome!
The guide standing at the entrance of the valley also saw this scene.
From the moment the earthquake started just now, a look of fear appeared on his face.
"Spirit of the Sea of Sand..." His shoulders trembled, and he couldn't help wanting to kneel on the ground and pray.
The God of the Sky...
Resurrected! ?
He was at a loss as to what to do, and he didn't know whether this was a good omen or a bad omen.
But no matter what, it was obviously not a wise move to challenge the gods with the power of a mortal.
He got on the motorcycle, started the engine, twisted the throttle to the limit, and ran desperately towards the west.
He must bring this news back to Petra Fortress!
Only the most pious high priest of the kingdom can hope to save these poor people!
At this moment, the players in the valley are in an unprecedented crisis.
In front is "Falling Feather", behind is "Titan" dominated by slime mold, and around is a circle of neckless crawlers whose names are unknown.
A pair of scarlet eyes exudes murderous intent, making the people surrounded swallow unconsciously.
No one doubted that as long as they rushed over, they would tear them to pieces in less than one round, and not even a bone would be left in three rounds.
"... I should have brought the tanks here earlier." The mole took a step back nervously.
The mosquito said with a smile.
"What tanks? Even if you come riding on the manager, you're done..."
Let's not talk about anything else.
What can kill the Titan that crawled out of the nuclear bomb pit behind them?
This thing even withstood the damage of a million tons of equivalent!
And it was in the center of the explosion...
Staggering to his feet, the "gnawer" shook his head, patted the dust on his body, and suddenly spoke in human language in the eyes of a pair of surprised eyes.
"Let's be frank. I'll give you one last chance. Go back to where you came from."
"From now on, the ruins of Oasis No. 7 will no longer be open to the public. If I see you again, I'll treat you as looters... By the way, some of the parts of those little blacks were obtained from looters."
"Do you want to try?"
A terrifying sense of oppression loomed over everyone's heads.
Although death is not terrible, it does not mean that death has no price.
Staring directly at the scarlet eyes, Wei Tai gritted his teeth and shouted with gritted teeth.
"You took our companion away! We can't just leave him alone!"
"Companion?"
Bai Ge looked at the little girl with a loud voice in surprise, and then looked at Luo Yu who was standing motionless in front of him with a strange expression.
"Are you talking about this guy?"
The young man obviously did not regain his consciousness.
Bai Ge guessed that Xiao Hong was worried about his safety, so he threw him out.
Seeing that the "gnawer" standing there did not respond, Mosquito also opened his duck voice and shouted.
"That's right! You return Luoyu to us! We promise to withdraw from here!"
Mole glanced at this guy and thought that if Luoyu knew how "awesome" he had become, he would probably be the first one to disagree with going back with them.
But——
Of course he agreed with Brother Mosquito.
Even if we put aside the task of the administrator, this strength is too buggy.
Everyone is agile, why is the speed of the second stage faster than his third stage?
Is this scientific?
Obviously not scientific!
The dog planner must fix this bug!
Sis looked at Zhimahu and said in a low voice.
"Prepare for battle..."
Zhimahu looked at her nervously and said with some worry.
"Can we... beat him?"
Sis analyzed calmly.
"Those slime molds should be under the command of that guy, just like what Mosquito said about the 'summoning system'. As long as he can be controlled, those alien species should be afraid to act rashly."
She didn't believe that this suspicious guy in front of her would let Luo Yu go because of two harmless "mouth cannons", and she didn't believe that he would let them go safely.
Logically speaking, silencing is the best choice, which can not only keep secrets, but also deter others.
Although there is a huge gap in strength, this boss battle is 90% inevitable.
Bai Ge touched his chin, and he seemed to be thinking about something seriously.
Just when Si Si was about to take action, the guy's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations.
He nodded and readily agreed to the request of Wei Ba and Mosquito.
"Well... your request is reasonable. Is this guy called Luo Yu?"
"Since you know him, you can take him back."
Wei Ba's eyes lit up and said in surprise.
"Oh! Thanks, friend!"
Hearing the word friend, a faint smile appeared on the rotten face.
"You're welcome. Not all slime molds are malicious... I know this concept cannot be changed in a short time, but fortunately I have enough time to wait, study, and prove it."
"Take your companions back."
"By the way, his brain is broken and has nothing to do with me... Blame it on the nuclear bomb."
As he said, he waved his hand.
The harsh sound waves spread again, and Zhimahu subconsciously covered his ears, his expression like a painful mask.
However, driven by the sound, the "Titan" that crawled out of the nuclear bomb pit slowly sat back, leaving only half of its body on the ground.
And the alien species that surrounded the players also retreated and disappeared at the foot of the mountain.
The crisis of group annihilation was resolved in an instant.
Mole looked at Sisi next to him in bewilderment, who also had a bewildered expression.
Both of them were ready for the boss battle.
Especially Mole.
He had even stuffed a deer bullet specially used for hunting large alien species into the gun chamber, ready to preemptively kill Luoyu who was hit by the "charm skill".
However, the development of the matter was completely beyond the expectations of the two. The "gnawer" really let them go.
So...
I have passed the level?
