"Shall I just break it open?" Chen Qian asked Bai Chimian while sweeping away the debris on the metal object.
She subconsciously took care of her match's eyes to prevent him from becoming mysophobic again.
Bai Chimian didn't act so pretentiously at the critical moment. After careful observation, he said, "Break it open. This should be the building material used for civilian underground shelters."
In other words, this is the underground shelter of C24 City.
But they did not detect any signs of life here.
Chen Qian no longer hesitated. She chose a good angle and continued to poke the metal object with the vines. The hard material was not much stronger than paper in the eyes of the eleventh-level mutant.
The moment the roof of the underground shelter was opened, a strong smell of blood and decay spread everywhere.
The originally cold air was now filled with this mixed disgusting smell, making it difficult for people to open their eyes.
As all the exposed metal roofs were lifted up, the scene inside the underground shelter came into view.
Various bloody residues were entangled with each other, stacked layer by layer until they reached the top.
Due to the shape of the underground shelter, these broken limbs and arms were squeezed into sharp corners, like a neat box of flesh and blood.
If you look closely, you can see that among the broken limbs there are many human heads, and even some of children's heads.
Chen Qian thought that they would die horribly. After all, in the virtual scene she had just experienced, she had seen many more tragic sacrifices.
But Chen Qian never thought that they would be in such a miserable state.
This kind of death, where one could hardly recognize it as one's own kind, plunged everyone present into silence.
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Qian used vines to dig out the bloody and fleshy residues one by one and piled them in an open space on the ground.
Several vines flew together, and soon they dug out a pile of flesh and blood as big as a hill.
And this is just the beginning.
As time went by, three such piles of flesh and blood had been unearthed.
Chen Qian's vines have also penetrated into the depths that cannot be seen.
"Based on what we've seen so far, there are at least tens of thousands of people."
Bai Chimian had already taken out various instruments from the space and started detecting. Huo Xiao was also helping him. The two of them were busy behind Chen Qian, but these equipment didn't seem to be very useful here.
Han Zi and Wei Jingzhe came to Chen Qian at some point, looking ready for battle.
Chen Qian's vines had not fished out any human corpses for a while, and they had also changed from the initial flat exploration to spreading continuously downwards.
Such a depth has long exceeded the scope of the underground shelter.
"Let's go in and take a look. There's something strange down there."
Faced with this strange thing, Chen Qian's first priority was to figure it out. Not to mention anything else, just saying that C29 City is not far from here, and it's only a two-day journey away.
She couldn't let such a dangerous, unknown thing stay under her nose.
"Well, let me see what kind of monster it is."
Bai Chimian had been fiddling with these things for a long time without making any progress, and he was getting angry, so he immediately decided to go down and investigate.
Even though the underground shelter was stinking and covered in blood, it didn't stop him.
Huo Xiao even jumped directly into the canyon, and it seemed that he was planning to take the lead.
"...Let's go." Although Han Zi said this, he still did not move beside Chen Qian.
Chen Qian came back to his senses after a moment of daze, "Wait a moment, I'll give them a ride."
As he spoke, the crimson flames ignited the piles of flesh and blood, and soon they were burned to ashes.
A sigh faded into the wind as the flames died out.
After doing all this, Chen Qian jumped into the canyon. At this time, Bai Chimian had already begun to study the traces on the outermost part of the research institute.
"There are a lot of strange traces on it, like long objects." Seeing that Chen Qian had come over, Bai Chimian continued to explore inside along the traces.
With their strength, they have already been able to see at night and are completely unaffected in such a dark environment.
Chen Qian thought they looked familiar, and then suddenly remembered that her vines seemed to have made similar marks before. "I suspect I made them accidentally."
She was so focused on digging out the mixed pile of flesh and blood that she didn't pay attention to the strength.
Bai Chimian couldn't help but turn around and glare at Chen Qian, "How can I not recognize your traces?"
What should I do if I always feel that the contract master is not familiar with him?
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Chen Qian touched his nose and walked forward guiltily to touch the marks. It looked a little different.
These traces all have some strange patterns on them, which look a bit like leaves.
Her matches all knew that she only had eight small leaves, and they would not easily show them to others, let alone use them to scratch the wall.
She couldn't bear to do that.
However, these traces also made them certain that the plant lurking here should be a rare alien species, and it is a vine species like Chen Qian.
This is strange.
Apart from those alien plants that were accidentally brought to Earth and those that have been entrenched in foreign lands for more than a decade, they have hardly ever seen any invading alien plants.
Several people stepped on the sticky bloodstains. No matter where they stepped, their original color could be seen. There was only the brown-red pool of blood that had not dried up for a long time.
Every step creates red ripples.
The sound of footsteps echoed in the somewhat empty underground shelter, making it seem even more eerie.
Bai Chimian slowly slowed down his pace, and without knowing when he was very close to Chen Qian.
Chen Qian watched his increasingly slow pace and suddenly remembered this guy's reaction when he watched a horror movie with her.
At the time, I thought he was just a little disgusted by the scenes in it. Now it seems that was only part of the reason, and the other part...
Chen Qian quietly held Bai Chimian's hand and looked ahead as if nothing had happened.
The warmth in his hand quickly spread to Bai Chimian's palm. He pursed his thin lips and his eyes unconsciously glanced at the master of the contract who was almost half a body length away from him in the darkness.
This is his path.
Bai Chimian's eyes became more and more gentle, and all the traces around him and the scenes that made him sick disappeared, as if there was only Chen Qian in his eyes.
"Qianqian, I want to hold hands too~"
Compared to Bai Chimian's concentration, Huo Xiao was keeping his eyes and ears open. As soon as he saw the master holding hands with Bai Chimian, he immediately came over.
Anyone who sees it will get a share!
"He's a little scared of this place. Are you scared too, Xiao?"
Chen Qian ruthlessly exposed Bai Chimian's disguise, and even Huo Xiao looked at Bai Chimian in surprise.
Brother Bai is actually afraid of this kind of place?
Uh, what's so scary about this?
Huo Xiao didn't understand at all, but he chose to respect.
"I'm not afraid, Qianqian. I'll continue to explore the way for you."
Huo Xiao jumped to the front again in no time.
Just as Chen Qian coaxed him away, another person came and took the initiative to hold hands with him.
She only hated that she was not Nezha, who had three heads and six arms and could give a hand to every match.
