Chapter 762: Mutated Crocodile
"What's the meaning?"
Lu Xiao and Zheng Yi looked over at the same time. Wu Yue felt too excited at this moment. His mind was racing with thoughts, but in the end he did not tell them what happened in Laoshan. "When there is a chance in the future, the base commander will tell you. I don't know everything."
Zheng Yi knew that the words were meant to guard against him. He said solemnly, "Old Wu, we are all from the same country. We can't hide important things, right?"
"Oh, you know that we are from the same country. Our team leader has always given you room, but you haven't appreciated it at all." Wu Yue's straightforward words made Zheng Yi open his mouth for a long time, unable to utter a word.
"We have only been away for half a year, and even those we used to have a good relationship with are no longer willing to stay in our base. Do you still expect us to think about the country?" Wu Yue sneered, "If I were the base commander, I wouldn't care about your life or death."
Zheng Yi looked at Lu Xiao for help, only to see Lu Xiao eating the remaining fish in the pot as if it had nothing to do with him, as if he had almost written the words "I will not participate" on his forehead.
"I had no involvement at all this time. It's been almost three months since the accident." Ever since Zheng Yi found out that Lu Weiyi had successfully upgraded, he knew that they had no chance of success, so he hurried to distance himself from the matter.
"Whether you are involved or not is not up to me to decide." Wu Yue did not tell him this and continued to ask about what happened outside in the past six months.
After eating and drinking, the three of them unanimously decided that they could not wait and they had to take the initiative to find a way to go back.
With Wu Yue's earth-related ability, the three of them quickly left the flood-covered area.
On the other side, Lu Weiyi, who had just woken up, received a message from Zhuang Mingxu asking him to send Qi Le back to him.
【what you up to? 】Lu Weiyi asked as he ate the prepared meals, unable to distinguish between morning and evening meals.
[Examine some information that is useful to us at the moment, and also take out the jade space containing the solid secretions of the abyss mushroom. If possible, I would like to redesign these and build an underground space].
They had a hard time putting these things away, and the risk factor of these things was too great, so Lu Weiyi didn't want him to take any risks.
Before he could refuse, Zhuang Mingxu's message came again, "There will be no problems with the electronic equipment at Laoshan in the short term, but we must prepare for a rainy day. Do you remember that in the basement space wrapped with the secretions of the abyss mushroom, various electronic equipment seemed to be unaffected? 】
When he said this, Lu Weiyi immediately thought of Qi Le's various instruments that filled the entire space, which were more sophisticated and advanced than those used in their base laboratory.
[I will interrogate Qi Le first to see what he knows.] Give me the jade later. Also, hurry up and have someone build a channel. I'll ask Zhao Gang to find a few psychics who are not very obedient, and then use them to experiment with the space channel.
Along with this message, there was also a piece of paper filled with chemical proportions. In addition to some English letters that made Lu Weiyi confused, there were also clear drawings, like a tunnel, clearly depicting the dimensions of each place.
"Can you understand it?" Lu Weiyi asked Li Zhuang for help in confusion.
Li Zhuang raised his eyebrows, took it and took a look, "This is the ratio of mortar, I invented it."
"Here's a dimensional diagram of the passage. What's wrong?"
"I need this, you can lead someone to make it yourself and make it according to this size."
"A passage of one thousand meters?" Li Zhuang doubted.
"Yes, there must be no mistakes in any detail."
Li Zhuang nodded, "Where do you want to open it to?"
Lu Weiyi thought about it seriously and said cautiously, "I'll tell you after I go back and investigate."
Li Zhuang gestured OK and started walking around in the space again, taking the opportunity to count the supplies "brought" from various bases. As soon as he reached the side of Changhong Base, he heard a rustling sound, like a mouse stealing food at night. When he listened carefully, it seemed like an illusion.
After a few times, he was about to ask if there were any living things in there, when he heard Lu Weiyi calling him to leave.
When they returned to the space, they were in the water. Li Zhuang was afraid of the water roller ball and was determined not to go in. Lu Weiyi could only weave a bamboo raft with small green branches.
After sitting on it, Lu Weiyi brought Li Zhuang directly to the water surface. Not intending to continue searching, Lu Weiyi immediately called out the phoenix and prepared to return directly.
"Be careful!" The rain blocked Li Zhuang's voice. Before Lu Weiyi could notice what was happening, the raft under them was lifted up by something.
Under the tremendous force, the two people flipped into the air. Li Zhuang wanted to hold Lu Weiyi, but everything happened too quickly and he was caught off guard. The rain blinded his eyes and there was the sound of splashing water all around him, making it impossible for him to tell where Lu Weiyi was. He could only rely on his instinct to condense the mud on the bottom of the water and turn up a small piece of ground for him to land.
While standing firm, he immediately went to look for Lu Weiyi, and saw that he was falling into the water. Where he fell, a huge crocodile was looking up with its mouth wide open, waiting for a delicious meal.
Li Zhuang felt an energy from it that was much stronger than his own. He stretched out his hand to condense a weapon to attack, but unfortunately he was in the river at the moment, and the soil in the water was too soft and could not be solidified at all. It was already difficult for a person to stand on it, let alone something as hard as a weapon.
"Don't fall down--!" It was the first time that Li Zhuang was so panicked after upgrading to such a powerful superpower. He shouted, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he cursed himself, and took out a crystal core weapon from the space - the recent failure of various instruments had made them return to the era of cold weapons for a time, and he had overlooked that not all equipment was damaged.
The crocodile in the water was not as powerful as Lu Weiyi, and the energy around it did not have much impact on Lu Weiyi. He was just used to the troubles he might face at any time, and he had already put up a mental barrier at the first moment when something went wrong. At this moment, he fell like a balloon and got stuck directly on the mutant crocodile's wide-open teeth.
The huge crocodile tried to close its mouth, but got stuck instead.
Lu Weiyi knew nothing about crocodiles and couldn't tell what species it was, but on the scales that floated to the surface, he could clearly see traces of an attack. Some places were hit by metal and had fallen off, some places were burned and looked like charred dead flesh, and the scales were unable to fall off.
Thinking of the place where the other party appeared, as well as the special abilities of Zheng Yi and Lu Xiao, Lu Weiyi's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Get out of the way." Li Zhuang's voice fell, and a beam of energy like fireworks shot towards the mutant crocodile. The mutant crocodile turned its head to avoid its eyes, and the energy exploded, causing no damage to other parts of its body.
Li Zhuang was getting anxious when he saw the invisible barrier around Lu Weiyi suddenly disappear and he fell into the mutant crocodile's mouth.
"Lu Weiyi--" Thinking that he was implicated by his own shooting, Li Zhuang shouted and immediately controlled the solid ground under his feet to get closer. However, the mutant crocodile was faster and fell back into the water before he could move. In just a moment, the turbid river water returned to calm.
Li Zhuang's heart tightened and he felt the sound of wind passing by him. Then he was squeezed by something and almost fell into the water.
"Phoenix?" Li Zhuang touched it carefully and it was a familiar touch.
Phoenix tilted its head and pecked his hand, acting cold and aloof and not letting him be touched.
Seeing that it had no intention of going forward to rescue him, Li Zhuang calmed down. Lu Weiyi had the space in his hands, so there was absolutely no way he would be swallowed.
He waited there for less than a minute before the water surface about ten meters away from him suddenly rolled up. The crocodile, which was over ten meters long, swung its tail and rolled violently, its body covered with mud and weeds.
There were "bang bang" sounds coming from its stomach. The mutant crocodile rolled more and more violently, but Li Zhuang calmed down.
The huge size of the beast prevented him from getting close rashly. He just controlled the ground beneath his feet and watched the fun from a distance.
After struggling for nearly half an hour, the mutant crocodile finally floated on the water and stopped moving.
Li Zhuang thought that Lu Weiyi would just cut open its stomach, but then he saw a bunch of green branches extending from the mutant crocodile's mouth and reaching towards Li Zhuang.
Li Zhuang reached out to pull it, but was dodged and entangled directly on the solidified ground, pulling the entire crocodile against the current.
Seeing the wounds on the mutant crocodile's body up close, Li Zhuang also understood Lu Weiyi's insistence on staying intact. He wanted to help drag it up, but the weight of the more than ten-meter-long crocodile was beyond human power. He could only move the ground as much as possible to place the entire mutant crocodile's body on it.
The phoenix disappeared at some point, leaving a clearing for the mutant crocodile.
Just when he finished dealing with the mutant crocodile, its huge mouth suddenly opened. Li Zhuang took two steps back and almost fell into the water.
Lu Weiyi struggled to crawl out of the mouth that was pried open by the little green branch's teeth.
“……”Li Zhuang.
After knowing each other for so many years, this was the first time he saw someone working so hard.
Just as he was about to step forward and pull the person out, Lu Weiyi stopped him with his hand, "There is digestive fluid, don't come near."
After he came out, he went straight into the river and rinsed himself in the turbid water, then looked directly into the mutant crocodile's belly.
"Let me do this rough work, why bother the young master to do it?" Li Zhuang approached casually, and with the help of his supernatural power, he stabbed the mutant crocodile below the neck with a scimitar in his hand.
As the knife slid down towards the abdomen, blood and internal organs in the abdominal cavity gushed out, and the fishy smell instantly filled the small area.
Lu Weiyi ignored his actions and swiftly inserted the small green branch into the mutant crocodile's eye and dug out a crystal core the size of a fist.
Over there, Li Zhuang was already using a knife to scrape out the contents that flowed out of the stomach. The portions that were in shape were all fish, while some of the half-digested portions had become soft.
"There are no humans." Li Zhuang pushed each layer into the water and finally confirmed, "At least it proves that they have not been eaten, so there must be a way for them to survive."
"The two captains of the major teams must have brought a lot of things in the space. Especially since Major General Lu is planning to rush to our base, the food and weapons must be fully prepared, and there will be no problem for them to survive."
Lu Weiyi could only think this way at this time, and nodded and looked at the huge mutant crocodile.
“Put it away and add another dish later.” Li Zhuang rinsed the blood stains on the knife in water.
Lu Weiyi nodded, put the mutant crocodile's body into the space, and looked around. There was no trace of anyone on the vast water.
