Chapter 149: Rats(1/2)
When Gu He flew to the wilderness area where the alien species was discovered, the sky had turned dark and stars began to twinkle.
The wilderness under the dark night looks even more pristine, empty and desolate. Many things from the old era have disappeared without a trace, and the old trees that have witnessed many eras are dilapidated and decayed, unable to withstand the cruelty of the seventh era.
"Is this here? I recognize those trees." Gu He said, having already put on night vision glasses.
In order to maintain sufficient concealment, the large group did not turn on searchlights and relied only on the illumination of starlight and silver wing feathers.
Night vision goggles, automatic rifles, and other military equipment all belong to the Awakening tribe. Through invigoration and trade, the wilderness tribes have more or less arms with them, which can be a weapon to fight back against the banks.
Lorna, Vivian and Chiba Gibson were all watching the night scene that Gu He saw through his night vision glasses.
"Yes, it's here." Lorna urged, "Fly closer, it's too high to see clearly."
Gu He flapped his wings gently and approached the dead forest with real caution until he and they both saw strange signs of swishing on the ground beside the trees, and several porcupine-like species of opportunity shuttled through the forest.
"They look really interesting." Vivian said as soon as she saw them clearly. "Are those on their backs cows?"
"You're just stupid." Lorna sneered, obviously she had said something like that before.
"There's nothing I can do about it. I feel the same way about Dahe. This reminds me a lot." Vivian said.
"You have it too," Lorna said. "It's always been there."
"Hey, are you here to quarrel or to work?" Gu He immediately stopped, otherwise Vivian wouldn't know what to say. Lorna was also a cruel person when teasing her, "Miss Qianye,
Leave it to you."
Hurry up and complete the mission, hurry back to the camp, and don't have to listen to the noise of these three people.
It's amazing to have three women together. It's not like Cookie, who doesn't talk much and speaks in assertions.
At that moment, Gu He switched the driving seat to Chiba Gibson, letting her take on the role of the protagonist and drive the oxcart.
As soon as Qianye sat in the driver's seat, Gu He suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, but in his mind he could see the transformed images of Lorna and Vivian. They were really not easy to deal with and seemed to be able to fight at any time.
It was really painful. Ms. Chiba said before that it would take half an hour to make the mask.
"Everyone, please be quiet first. I want to concentrate on observing." Qianye asked at this time, and then held the scene. In the silence of her mind, she flew closer to the ground, observing the postures of those opportunity species.
.
How to walk, how the thorns on the back swing, different angles, different speeds.
There were also the swishing sounds they made and the clicking sounds they made when chewing on dead trees. She used this to figure out the tone of her voice when reciting the words.
This opportunistic species is so active in the dark, probably because its hearing is particularly developed, allowing it to distinguish between similar and different species, so the mask information in this regard cannot be wrong.
At the same time, Gu He couldn't help but feel nervous, flying too low for fear that one of the alien species would jump up explosively.
Vivian hugged him, and he couldn't avoid it in the empathy, as if he was just paying attention to his own senses. He didn't dare to scold her and make a noise, for fear of disturbing Miss Chiba. Lorna was aside
Thoughts on smoking.
[Cowherd value program progress bar: fifth level 92%, ↑3%]
Ever since the four of them shared the feeling, the Cowherd's value has been rising from time to time, and this time it was obviously brought about by Vivian.
Time passed, and Chiba Gibson was worthy of the name of a talented actor. Even with such a small interference, in less than half an hour, only more than 20 minutes, she said: "Okay."
Actor Professional Department, J-Level Program: Mask
Chiba activated the program, and the large group of bodies suddenly had the fifth set of information, which was the mask information created by her.
Suddenly, something seemed different, as if they had really become porcupine species on the ground.
"Lorna, I have never had so many thorns on my body at once." Vivian teased, "What about you?"
"...Stop talking." Lorna muttered, "Do you think Qianye's mask will be broken immediately or something?"
Qianye chuckled and said nothing, not wanting to get involved in their conflict, "Then I'll go down now."
She controlled the large group of bodies, flapped her wings slowly, and flew lower and lower, approaching the ground and about to land next to the dead forest.
Gu He was even more nervous. In comparison, Vivian's unlimited jokes were nothing.
As a hunter, Lorna also instinctively increased her vigilance, became serious, and entered combat mode.
But when the feet of the large group of bodies stepped on the wasteland, a few species of opportunity less than one meter apart still showed no reaction. They just continued to chew on dead trees and soil, seemingly showing no interest in this human being.
"Did it succeed..." Gu He asked in a squeaky voice.
"The actor is done now." Vivian said, "Now it's time to find the Rat King. Lorna, how do we get there?"
The large group of bodies continued to be controlled by Chiba, but she followed Lorna's command, and she was the hunter here. Listening to Lorna's words, Chiba slowly walked into the dead forest step by step, following the traces of the alien species' activities.
Gu He became more and more uneasy because there were too many. Only then did he realize that opportunities are not easy to deal with.
They seemed to be a group of giant ants, similar-looking alien species running around in the forest.
"What the hell is this?" he asked, "Is it something that has existed before, or is it a new alien species?"
"It looks a bit like a little ghost mouse." Lorna responded, "Alien species are originally mutated things, and there will always be some differences. A hundred opportunity racial groups may be a hundred kinds of things. But I can be sure.
, if you are bitten by this thing, your bones will explode, and you will be infected with a high level of spam virus information."
"Opportunity species win by quantity." Vivian also knows a little bit, "But even so, eight out of ten are still worth one transcendent of the same level."
"Eight out of ten? Sometimes one is worth one." Lorna said, this was not intentional.
She added some extra knowledge to Gu He about alien species. Alien species also have extraordinary levels, which are not determined by the type of alien species, but by the level of extraordinary energy fluctuations of the alien species. Bank Dog has that kind of precise detection equipment.
The extraordinary levels of alien species are also j-level, q-level, k-level, and a-level, which roughly correspond to extraordinary beings.
Like these little ghost rats in the dead forest now, each one may have the physical strength of a J-level extraordinary person. The little ghost rats focus on speed, and are closest to the abilities of the assassin professional system.
"You can imagine that there are a thousand assassins here." Lorna said, "They can launch a killing program on you at any time."
The more Gu He listened, the more nervous he became. He was already a little creepy, "That's really strong."
"Otherwise, what do you think? There is a reason why the wilderness is so vast and the bank dogs are not rushing to develop it, but are crowded in the city."
Lorna saw that he was so scared, so she added: "Don't worry, I mean sometimes. These things shouldn't be that strong, eight out of ten might be enough. Well, there are...too many to count here."
"We are the same kind, rats, what are you afraid of?" Vivian said with a smile.
The doll container does not want to be nervous. When it becomes nervous, the capacity occupancy rate of the container program will increase and the speed will slow down.
They didn't argue anymore, they just put a lollipop in his mouth to coax him.
"Gu He and I are both doing this kind of thing for the first time, so we will be a little nervous." Qianye said her heartfelt words.
But the tension in the crowd clearly came from the only male.
And soon, Gu He's tension continued to rise uncontrollably, because the large group of people searched and searched, and unexpectedly arrived in front of the entrance of a cave. If the Rat King was here, it could only be in the cave.
"If there is an unexpected situation, run away." He said hurriedly. "If we go underground, our wings will lose their function."
However, now that they have come and are here, Chiba does not want to turn around and leave. The weight of an opportunity race group is too heavy.
"Lorna, what do you think?" she asked, first listening to what the professionals had to say.
"The entrance to this underground cave is very wide. You see, it is a cement wall. This was not dug out by chance. It is a dilapidated basement that originally existed. The underground cave is very stable and will not suddenly collapse. It seems that there is enough space. There are any traps.
It has also been triggered by alien species, so if we need to retreat urgently, there will be no problem."
The more Lorna observed, the more enthusiastic she became, "And this basement is probably left by a certain wilderness scientific research tribe. There may be some good things in it. Then we are really lucky."
"I agree with Lorna this time." Vivian also said, "I want to see what's inside."
"Vivian, when did you not choose the adventurous option..." Gu He muttered, "What is the Wilderness Research Tribe?"
Lorna's patience with him improved a lot, and she explained to him immediately.
There are many forms of wilderness tribes, some are united by a professional association like the Pioneers of Recovery, some are united by an idea like the circus, there are evil tribes that commit murder and swindle goods, and there are also scientific research tribes.
Some alchemists, doctors and other scientific researchers thought that the three-legged area was unsafe and that even if they developed results, the banks would snatch them away, so they went to the wilderness to dig a basement to do it.
However, many times they fail in scientific research, evacuate in a hurry, or are completely finished, leaving this kind of cellar behind.
In this wasteland there are tribes, hunters, killers, wild dogs, wanderers, wanted criminals, scientific researchers...
Wilderness is unexplored land, a lawless, unpredictable and ownerless land.
At that moment, Lorna did some research and decided with the hunter's sense of smell to go down to the basement to find out.
Gu He reluctantly agreed. If something happened, they could escape back to their true bodies through the spiritual network, but he could not escape.
"I won't leave you." Lorna said in a low but powerful voice, "I just won't."
"Me neither." Vivian said, but her ambiguous tone was obviously not that serious.
"I will not step off the stage until the show is over," Chiba said.
Without further ado, the large group of bodies gathered their wings, hung their samurai swords on their waists, held guns in both hands, and walked towards the entrance of the underground passage, walking among the little ghost rats with swinging spines.
They saw that the walls of the passage were very dilapidated. They had been abandoned for some years, but there were still graffiti on them, some strange and difficult-to-understand symbols.
Gu He felt gradually surrounded by darkness, and the air was filled with an unspeakable smell that made people want to vomit.
Fortunately, this underground passage is not long and leads to a spacious basement. It looks like it was a scientific research place in the past.
The lamps here have long been broken, but there are still some fluorescent materials emitting a faint green light. There are unpacked seats, workbenches and other scientific research equipment on the ground, and messy wires and pipes are intertwined on the ceiling.
There are little ghost rats scurrying around everywhere, and the walls are covered with graffiti and all kinds of vague handwriting.
