101 Believe in Science
While repairing the car, Han Xiao reflected on the problems exposed in the battle just now.
His current combat mode is mainly sniping. The best tactic is to fly a kite, but his own movement speed is not fast, so he should make some gadgets to increase his speed.
The power leg is a good choice, but Han Xiao thinks it is too bulky. It happens that with the current level and knowledge, he can build a new thing that is more flexible.
He feels that he can further improve his combat mode, such as forming a team of robots to provide firepower assistance and make up for the shortcomings of slow sniper attack frequency.
Anyway, our Department of Mechanical Engineering wholesales equipment and is self-reliant, making up for whatever is lacking.
After quickly repairing the car, Han Xiao drove the Thorn and followed the marked coordinates of the radar back to the entrance of Filonia. He immediately saw a series of footprints that extended to the edge of the cave and disappeared. After thinking about it for a moment, he knew the group of wanderers.
Went down first.
If he were an ordinary person, he might worry that the good things inside would be discovered first, but Han Xiao felt that it would be better to have someone help him detect mines.
Standing at the edge of the cave entrance and looking down, the rock wall has distinct layers. At the junction of sunlight and darkness, you can vaguely see rusty metal extending downwards.
"There are traces of artificial excavation on the rock wall, and there is a fishy smell in the wind...the smell of rust. I have never seen this place before. Let's go down and have a look."
Han Xiao brought all the equipment, held a flashlight in his mouth, climbed down the rock wall, and used the flashlight to shine down from time to time.
As he got farther and farther from the ground, the sunlight gradually disappeared, and he realized that the rock wall had a curvature.
Soon, the sunlight disappeared, and the surroundings were dark, leaving only the flashlight as the only light source. This gloomy atmosphere made Han Xiao involuntarily be vigilant. He felt a slight chill appear out of thin air, entangled in his heart, wishing to slow down his heartbeat in order to
Relieve tense emotions.
After crawling down for about three minutes, the flashlight light finally illuminated the ground. It turned out to be a hollow metal floor, covered with dust, with thick cobwebs in the gaps. No one had stepped on it for a long time.
Han Xiao turned over and fell down, making a thud, and the echo spread far away. In this dark environment where he couldn't even see his fingers, it seemed very empty and intrusive.
The surroundings were empty and deep, and the light of the flashlight was like an isolated island in the dark ocean. There were rustling sounds in the darkness, as if the sound of landing just now attracted the attention of some unknown beings.
He glanced around with his flashlight and found that he was in a metal corridor, which seemed to be in the architectural style of a base. There were reinforced concrete everywhere, the walls were covered with yellow-green rust oxide, and there were vaguely weird soft-bodied insects crawling in the rust.
The hollow metal plate on the ground was covered with dust, and there was a series of new footprints extending forward, presumably from the group of pilgrims who had gone ahead.
There should be space underneath the metal hollow floor.
Han Xiao turned the flashlight and shined it at his feet, seeing the scene below.
Through the hollow metal plate under his feet, countless densely packed red compound eyes in the darkness were watching him silently!
"Fuck!"
Han Xiao's scalp went numb and he hurriedly turned back the lights and classified the lower level as a restricted area.
He carefully followed the footsteps of the pilgrims. There was silence all around, and there was a vague sound of rustling creatures crawling. He calmed down and listened, but they disappeared without a trace. It was very strange, which made people involuntarily nervous.
After walking a short distance, there was a fork in the road ahead, and the pilgrim's footprints disappeared in the right fork.
Just as he was hesitating, there was the sound of rapid footsteps on the right side of the road. It seemed that many people were running in panic and approaching quickly.
Han Xiao hurriedly hid at the intersection on the other side, turned off the flashlight, and put on the night vision device wholesaled by Farian.
"Quick, run!"
"Monster!"
The pilgrims ran out of the side road in panic, as if they were avoiding some indescribable existence. Their clothes were stained with blood, and their number became smaller.
"What are they hiding from?" Han Xiao wondered.
Suddenly, a low roar like a beast came from the other side of the road next door. It was hoarse and heavy, like a giant's sigh, with a buzzing echo. Just hearing this sound made his blood surge, and he felt disgusted in his chest and secretly felt sad.
shock.
"This is a high-level beastly coercion, definitely higher than level 40!"
This group of pilgrims looked horrified. They didn't know what kind of terrifying existence they had seen. They used their hands and feet to crawl back in panic.
However, the monster didn't seem to come out. The pilgrims sat down limply, looking like they were surviving the disaster.
The monster didn't even make any footsteps, Han Xiao remembered it in his heart.
"Joel was eaten by a monster, ugh..."
"It's terrible here."
The old pilgrim was trembling, with a dejected look on his face, as if all his energy and energy had been drained away, and said: "This is not Filonia. There is nothing we want. Let's get out of here quickly and let's go find the real ruins."
The legendary magical ruins should be full of mystery and ancient aura, carved with countless mysterious lines that are incomprehensible, and should be made of stone as the main body of the ruins. However, this place is just a man-made steel base. He looked at it on the wall.
Arriving at the emblem of the lost country, this is a secret military base of the old country.
The pilgrims fell silent, and a young man said: "Maybe this is the real Philonia. The motherland found the ruins and built a base here just to study the treasure of the desert."
The Treasure of the Desert, the legendary treasure of Philonia, can control the Somar Desert.
The old pilgrim shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Impossible. If the old country had the treasure of the desert, how could it be destroyed?"
"This is not the place we are looking for. The real ruins of Philonia are still hidden in a corner of the desert!"
The old pilgrim was determined.
The pilgrims helped each other and left.
After listening to their discussion, Han Xiao finally solved some of the doubts. As far as he knew, there was no magic in Aquamarine. The so-called miracles of the Desert Treasure were probably just the effects of certain technological weapons.
But people always have unknown sources of confidence and unrealistic fantasies about mysterious things they don’t understand. It reminded him of a story inexplicably. When a flood came, a man prayed to the gods on the roof for rescue, and God sent a boat to save him.
He, he just wants to expect a miracle.
He didn't know why the pilgrims believed that Philonia was related to magic, but it seemed to have nothing to do with him...or was this another reminder of another hidden mission?
After gathering his composure, Han Xiao waited until the pilgrims had gone far before showing up, and hesitated when faced with a fork in the road.
The pilgrim found out that there is a monster on the right side, which is very dangerous, but there is an unknown thing on the left side, which may be more dangerous. How should he choose?
"According to experience, this group of pilgrims acted as dungeon guides and warned that there was a monster on the right. This is an obvious signal, but it may have two meanings. The first is to warn not to go to the right because there is a monster. The second meaning is
, they deliberately misled me to go to the left..."
Han Xiao gritted his teeth and resolutely chose the right side. The unknown was more terrifying than the monster. He still remembered the dense red eyes on the lower level. If he encountered those things, he would have to shed a layer of skin even if he died.
He put on electric heating cutting gloves and used night vision goggles instead of a flashlight. He entered the fork on the right. His field of vision was dark green and he could barely see the way ahead.
There were huge footprints on the ground that were very different from those of humans. They were presumably left by the monster. They also had two legs and five toes. According to human height proportions, this monster would be about three meters tall.
After walking for a while, a room with an open door appeared ahead, and the monster's footprints extended to the door and stopped abruptly.
Han Xiao quietly approached the door and smelled a stench, like meat that had rotted for many years, and a hint of fresh blood.
He looked inside.
A pair of copper bell-sized eyes were staring at him condescendingly, only half a meter apart!
