Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 98 All gold?

All doubts have been answered.

Why can the Mechanicus "tame" monsters? Why can the "Mongol" that is not good at digging eat artificial food wrapped in plastic that has not yet deteriorated? Why does it still show strong aggressiveness under strong stimulation?

That’s because there were not just one monster in Huangzhou City, but two.

It's just that one of them lives underground.

What "Mongol" is not offensive.

It’s really non-aggressive, it should be this earthworm underground!

At this time, the earthworms underground had completely disappeared from the drone's field of vision. Shen Yue, who was operating the drone, said with lingering fear:
"This thing can no longer be called an earthworm, it's simply an earth dragon."

"What do you say now? Should we go down?"

"It must have penetrated an underground disaster recovery warehouse, and it can't be too far from the cave entrance, otherwise Mongolia would not be able to get food."

"As long as we find the entrance to the disaster recovery vault and open it from the inside out, we can get out from the other end."

After He Shuo finished speaking, Chen Jian frowned and thought for a moment, then finally made up his mind and said:
"We have to go in!"

"This earth dragon obviously doesn't belong to the category of monsters we have encountered before. It is a true neutral creature."

"The risk is low, the expected return is high, and it would be inappropriate not to go in."

"Let's go."

"Zeng Yi, you don't have time to call, stay outside the nest and observe and guard."

"The radio may be out of contact. If there is a problem, throw two thermobaric grenades into the cave entrance so we can hear it."

"understand!"

Zeng Yi nodded immediately. Without much hesitation, the group set off immediately, climbed down from the altar, and headed straight for the deep cave entrance.

As the distance gets closer, the drone's signal continues to grow stronger.

The two machines maintained the best relay distance and followed the actions of the four-member team, continuously scanning and modeling the internal structure of the tunnel.

In just a few minutes, a three-dimensional image of a huge underground tunnel system was initially presented to everyone.

"Based on this trend, the entire underground of Huangzhou City may have been hollowed out. Is this thing a shield machine?"

As he walked forward along the slippery road, Shen Yue sighed.

Chen Jian walked in front and shook his head and replied:

"From the current direction of the tunnel, it only penetrates areas with soft soil, and basically bypasses rocks when encountering them. It is far worse than a shield machine."

"But it's strange. If that's the case, how did it penetrate the underground fortifications?"

"Corrosive fluid."

Lei Jie touched the mucus remaining on the rock wall of the cave hall, and then said:

"The pH value isn't too low, but it should be around 3."

"Long-term corrosion will definitely make the structure brittle."

"The problem now is that if the mucus penetrates into the storage room and forms an acidic environment, it will be difficult to deal with."

"The things inside have probably been corroded at an accelerated rate, so it will be difficult to find good things."

"really."

Chen Jian nodded and immediately gave the order:
"Open the air call, the life support system is sounding the alarm."

"clear."

Several people quickly put on masks, and at the same time, the drone that moved forward finally found traces of lateral collapse in a fork in the road.

"It's right here, get closer quickly!"

At Chen Jian's command, everyone quickened their pace.

The sound of a wriggling earth dragon in the distance was getting closer and closer, and the huge noise kept reflecting in the corridor, which was terrifying to hear.

If the invaders had not seen the monster's true form in advance and had rushed in blindly, the horrifying sound alone would have been enough to make them retreat in fear.

No wonder the Mechanicus had no record of this earth dragon. They didn't even dare to enter the cave!
Fortunately, they didn't dare to come, otherwise, there would be nothing left for my team to take advantage of.

Continuing forward, the originally wide cave hall suddenly shrank, and the diameter of the corridor decreased to less than three meters, and then continued to decrease to about two meters.

The surroundings were no longer hard rock walls, but relatively soft soil. This was the path that the earth dragon had actually drilled out of.

Everyone quickened their pace and almost ran through this last passage.

The collapsed gap appeared in front of everyone. Without thinking too much, Chen Jian quickly fixed the rappelling rope and threw it down, and several people quickly descended into the fortifications.

"It feels like I'm robbing a tomb. Will two dumplings come out of it soon?"

Shen Yue's voice was blocked by the mask and seemed a little dull.

Chen Jian was too lazy to pay attention to his slightly inappropriate joke. He turned around and quickly took off his headlamp and set it to floodlight mode. In an instant, most of the underground space was completely illuminated.

And then what came into view.
It was a mess.

Not only above the head, there was also a large hole drilled on the floor of the underground warehouse.

There were still a few damaged and rotten emergency foods scattered around the cave entrance, but most of them had obviously been carried away by the earth dragon.

Chen Jian glanced around and then said:

“This is not a disaster recovery warehouse!”

"This looks like a civilian facility, converted from an underground garage?"

"Yes, the underground garage has been converted into a three-defense fortification. Judging from the position displayed by INS, the industrial park in the high-tech zone is right above our heads."

"The supplies should have been brought in temporarily as well, but they were brought in even more hastily than 7025. These bullets weren't even sealed in boxes."

He Shuo, who had already completed a circle, frowned and continued:
"The exit was in front, but it was blown down."

"There is a heavy isolation door on the right side, which should lead to the elevator shaft, but it has been completely rusted and locked."

"We have to hurry. The air call can only last for 8 minutes. If the isolation door cannot be opened, we need to return the same way!"

"clear."

Chen Jian answered immediately and then gave the order:

"Lei Jie, try to break open the isolation door."

"Everyone else spread out and search quickly for usable supplies."

"Evacuate in 3 minutes, hurry up!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone took action immediately.

Chen Jian ran to the largest pile of supplies in the middle, but after a quick inspection, he was greatly disappointed.

This pile of supplies included weapons, ammunition, and food, but due to the lack of sealed preservation measures like those in Fortification 7025, most of them had rotted and rusted beyond recognition.

A small amount of food stored in sealed cans and plastic can still be used, but Chen Jian and his team are not short of food to begin with, so there is no point in taking this stuff out.

Sure enough, not every disaster recovery library can be as perfect as 7025.

Without time to feel disappointed, Chen Jian quickly turned to another pile of supplies, only to find that the situation was similar.

"He Shuo, Shen Yue, what's going on over there?"

“Any high-value items?”

"no!"

Shen Yue answered immediately, while He Shuo was silent for a moment, then said:
"Captain, come and look at this."

Chen Jian realized that He Shuo had made some discovery, so he rushed quickly to the location indicated by his light.

The first thing he saw was piles of bones. A quick glance revealed that there were at least dozens of skulls alone.

It is conceivable what kind of tragedy the people trapped here experienced in their lifetime.

Then, his gaze moved forward.

A large heap of scattered, gleaming objects appeared before him.

"Fuck."

Chen Jian took a deep breath, then asked in astonishment:
"What the fuck is this??"

“All gold??”
