Chapter 203
Chapter 203
Ying Chenlin glanced sideways at the mecha next to him, and with the help of Zhao Lejie's light just now, he could see clearly that the shell of You Su's mecha was not damaged. He noticed that the two mechas were positioned a little close to each other, and You Su's unrestrained mental power was right beside them.
He couldn't help but take a step back, but that layer of mental power seemed to still be there.
"Chen Lin." Yuan's voice reminded at the right time. It did not detect any abnormal condition in Chen Lin's body, but his mental strength and heart rate showed slight abnormal fluctuations.
Ying Chenlin came to his senses and took out an injection from the medical bag he carried with him.
He had not had his routine injection today. He was half a second slow when the needle touched the skin on the side of the robotic arm. It seemed that every time he entered the contaminated area, You Su would always remind him to get the injection, but he didn't remind him today.
On the side, You Su's eyes fell on the mecha next to him. Theo's chattering voice continued in his mind, and he soon closed his eyes.
"Why is your body temperature high again?" Theo continued in a puzzled voice, "Your body surface temperature is also high. You are in the ice."
The silence of the two men soon attracted the attention of the two mechas at the back. When Huo Yan dragged the Shadow Fox down from the original bayonet, Ying Chenlin in front did not move much. This was rare. In the past, when dealing with pollutants, Ying Chenlin would always watch by the side and tell them which parts were useful and which parts required special treatment.
"Old Zhao, I'll leave the road ahead to you." Huo Yan shouted.
Zhao Lejie: “…digging.”
There are so many of you kids, I can’t afford to offend you.
The sound of breaking ice could be heard in the dark corridor. When Zhao Lejie turned around to dig the ice and dig a path, Huo Yan and Lin Yao were dealing with the shadow fox at the back. This pollutant has been used as a cushion but has not yet completely died. Fortunately, the roots of the pollutant have bound it tightly, especially the ones around its neck, which almost strangled it to death.
Lin Yao hit the creature to death with another blow of the stick, then skillfully dug out the energy crystal from its brain and put it into the storage compartment.
The storage warehouse was full of pollutants that were dried in the sun. Taking into account the pollutants in the big pit that had been dealt with before, their storage warehouse was almost full. Huo Yan thought that once he found a spacious place, he would transfer all the things in the storage warehouse to the storage equipment, otherwise there would not be enough space in the back. ▓
The Star Alliance mission has a time limit, but this time limit will not be disclosed in advance. It is basically determined based on the speed at which the participating teams can clear the contaminated area. According to the information Dawn has, it will basically not exceed a week. They had no concept of time underground, and there was no distinction between day and night here. According to calculations, they had been here for almost two days.
"You mean something that SLY is interested in?" Huo Yan looked at Ying Chenlin in confusion: "What do you think it is?"
When asked, Ying Chenlin paused for a moment, then quickly continued, "I don't think it's a pollutant."
"If it's not a pollutant? Then what could it be?" Lin Yao racked his brains to think, "Plants? Minerals? Materials? Do they lack these?"
Before being attacked by special pollutants, they had already doubts about the environment of the snowy mountains. The abnormal growth rate of pollutants must be closely related to the particularity of the Slarede pollution area. And now, because one of their coordinates disappeared, all the strong teams were like hunters who had smelled the scent and rushed over, with impatient expressions on their faces.
If they were only interested in the contaminants, they wouldn't spend time exploring the KID's location.
Obviously, to them, the value of Shadow Fox... and even the pollutants behind this special white mist magnetic field in their minds is far less than the limit of their rationality. What they want is more important than the pollutant energy crystal.
The Star Alliance system has lost connection and cannot be used. When Ying Chenlin opens the Star Alliance system, he can only see the previously buffered information.
Digging the road took a long time, so he read all the information and identified several abnormal places.
"The special mission we had earlier also occurred in several other areas." Ying Chenlin shared the information and continued, "If the anomalies are corresponding, then it is very likely that more than just these areas will be affected."
"There is another suspicious point." You Su raised his eyes slightly, "These pollutants are coordinated."
Normal pollutants, especially intelligent ones like S-level pollutants, are rarely willing to share prey with other pollutants.
When Ying Chenlin and You Su were besieging Shadow Fox, the underground roots only attacked the mechas and did not attack the pollutants.
“Pollutions can cooperate?” Lin Yao was a little surprised: “Then their IQ is really high.”
"There are precedents for cooperation on pollutants. This anomaly is the same as the original abnormal growth rate." You Su's eyes fell on the ice layer reflected in the dim light. "The IQ is high enough and they have common interests. The Administration monitors all year round. Ordinary polluted areas in the Third Star Region cannot reproduce this type of pollutants. Most of these situations come from the border of the Third Star Region."
Zhao Lejie: "Have you ever been to the polluted border area?"
You Su said: “I’ve been there.”
When You Su mentioned the border, Ying Chenlin looked slightly in his direction. Did You Su have to go to the border of the third star field... ?
"Brother You used to be a border mercenary and has been to many places." Lin Yao said.
Zhao Lejie: “…”
This man is so scary.
Lin Yao didn't quite understand what he said, so he asked again, "But does this have anything to do with the border? There was a riot in this place before, so it's normal for pollutants from the border to flow over, right?"
"It's not a border issue. To put it simply, there are enough interests in this place, and these pollutants will cooperate." Huo Yan summarized the information and suddenly realized a problem, "Wait, it seems that other pollutants along the way we have come don't have a symbiotic relationship?"
These anomalies only appeared after they had been killing the pollutants in the pit for a period of time. The fact that the pollutants were attracted by the corpses of other pollutants was indeed their first consideration.
But if so many S-class creatures are attracted at once, then is there another possibility? They are located where the interests of the pollutants intersect, so they will cooperate.
"Come on, if you say that...
…” Zhao Lejie turned around when he heard this and said, “Is there something that pollutants are fighting for in this place? Could this thing be the same as what SLY wanted? ”
At this time, Zhao Lejie's weapon seemed to have hit something hard, and the hard object bounced back, causing his entire mecha to take two steps back due to the reaction force, and directly hit Ying Chenlin behind him.
Ying Chenlin took half a step back and stood next to You Su, but You Su quickly held him up.
Lin Yao asked: "Old Zhao, haven't you eaten yet?"
"I haven't eaten much, and I can't seem to chisel--" Before Zhao Lejie could finish his words, a crack suddenly appeared in the ice wall that he couldn't chisel, and then something burst out of the crack. That thing was fast and fierce, and in the next second it wrapped around Zhao Lejie's hand holding the weapon and pulled the entire mecha towards the ice wall.
With a bang——
Ying Chenlin, who was behind Zhao Lejie, reacted immediately and put one hand on Zhao Lejie's shoulder, trying to pull him back. However, the pulling force on Zhao Lejie was so great that Ying Chenlin failed to hold him down at first. Then the sound of breaking ice was heard around him.
"Fuck!" Zhao Lejie's exclamation suddenly stopped, and the whole person was pressed against the wall, and the oncoming squeezing force was all applied to his mecha.
Thick roots quickly extended from the ice wall on the left, as if consciously binding Ying Chenlin's hands and pulling Ying Chenlin, who was assisting Zhao Lejie, to the side. You Su noticed the situation and pulled the roots behind him, "Something's wrong!"
Huo Yan's mecha's searchlight swept forward, and everyone's pupils suddenly shrank when they saw the ice wall.
Cracks appeared one after another in the silent and dark ice wall. A large number of roots sprouted out from the broken ice marks, densely covering the five mechas in all directions. Huo Yan reacted quickly and cut out his shield, but he was in the back and could only barely protect Lin Yao, not the people in front. "Old Zhao, change weapons!"
Zhao Lejie's entire mecha was attached to the refrigerator. He struggled to switch the lightsaber in his right hand into a shield. He held the shield with his left hand and aimed it at the ice wall. The defense shield in the narrow space had a limited range. With the sound of ice cracking, more and more things hit the defense shield.
"No! I can't hold up my shield!" Zhao Lejie.
You Su said coldly: "Which is more important, your shield or your life? Go as high as you can!"
Zhao Lejie wanted to curse, and he opened the shield while cursing in his heart, "The range is too small, how the hell can it be opened."
The space that Lin Yao propped up with the stick couldn't last for too long, so he simply used a normal attack knife to get stuck in the gap and cut off all the roots wrapped around everyone's mechas, while also helping to resist the attacks from the surroundings. "Oh my god, this thing is so hard to cut."
Ying Chenlin's sight quickly swept across the surroundings. It was too narrow. Not to mention Zhao Lejie's shield, they couldn't fight freely. He switched to energy cannon, "Brother You, blow up the ice!"
You Su quickly switched to energy cannons to lock onto the position at his feet, and the bombardment of the shells, which were pushed down to the extreme level, broke up some of the ice, expanding their narrow combat range a bit.
The two energy cannons cleared the way on the left and right. They did not care about the stability of the ice layer. Fortunately, the ice layer was damaged a lot by the roots. A large amount of broken ice fell after this cannon. Lin Yao quickly collected the broken ice into the storage bin, leaving as much space as possible.
The feeling of the shells exploding at your feet is too terrifying, or placing energy cannons in the protective shield, which is like bombarding yourself.
Zhao Lejie didn't even care about the roots in his hand. He got goosebumps all over his body. "Can you please not hit me? Don't hit my shield!"
"Be quiet." You Su listened to the noises around him, noticed the roots that popped out from the lower part, and repelled them. "Under the feet."
Ying Chenlin looked at the gradually cracking ice. He placed the energy cannon against the ice at his feet and fired a blast. He quickly said, "Clear the underground passage. Let's go down!"
The roots that emerged from the ice wall were more numerous and stronger than those that had attacked Ying Chenlin before, and the dragging force increased several times.
In the past, Ying Chenlin could still fight against these pollutants, but now they are completely carried away by these things. He frowned. There is no other way now. He took out the energy tube from the storage warehouse. The smell of energy liquid emanated. "Zhao Lejie, open the energy threshold to the maximum! Brother Huo also open it."
The two tank mechas opened their shields at the same time, but the external roots could not break through the shields and madly wrapped around the outermost layer of Zhao Lejie's protective shield.
Zhao Lejie: "Wait a minute! What is this for!?"
"Let it tie us up." Ying Chenlin was waiting for this moment, "Wait for it to drag us down."
Zhao Lejie listened to the muffled sound from the shield and said, "This is my shield! Didn't you bring the ore?"
"Did you notice that?"
Ying Chenlin paused for a moment and explained seriously, "I only brought two pieces of ore. We have too many mechas, not enough to stand on. Fortunately, I met you."
Zhao Lejie's eyes widened. There are 12 fucking mechas, and you only brought a few pieces of ores as backup. Who are you trying to fool?
It’s better not to bring two pieces.
Huo Yan: "It's okay, I'll fix it for you when I get out."
Lin Yao: "Chairman Li has covered everything this time. Don't worry, it's free."
The roots were tied to the entire shield, and the shield hit the ice wall, making a crisp sound when it collided with the broken ice. The sound of the shield squeezing against the ice layer was the sound of Zhao Lejie's heartbreaking. Before he could curse out loud, the powerful drag force tied to the shield had already pulled them down quickly.
Ying Chenlin placed his hands firmly on the shield to steady his body amid the bumps. Just as he was making his next decision, Yuan's voice suddenly rang out.
Yuan said: "Chen Lin, the surrounding temperature is dropping."
Ying Chenlin paused, looked up and saw ice spikes appearing on Zhao Lejie's shield.
……? ! Energy frozen?
