Chapter 204
Chapter 204
On the side of the scene where the white mist magnetic field gradually enveloped, a black mecha was located on the side of the snow peak. It did not completely leave the range of the white mist magnetic field, but just maintained the degree of the magnetic field's influence, making its coordinates completely hidden within the range of the magnetic field's influence.
He looked into the distance from his high point, and using the long-range sight of the sniper gun, all of the powerful team's suspended mechas fell into his sight.
Soon, he fell from the height and gathered with his teammates around him.
Hu Luobu and his companions had just dealt with a few A pollutants. When they saw Wen Yi coming down from the height, Lu Xi asked first, "What's going on?"
Wen Yi simply said, "There are a lot of mechas, all at our original snowfield location."
While they were dealing with the giant bird that caused the blizzard, the vibration of the snowy peak next door also attracted their attention. When such a strong avalanche occurred, Colin and Wen Yi considered going over there to check the situation as soon as possible, but Lu Xi, the only KID mecha master in their team, suggested observing.
This observation revealed the approach of a large number of strong teams in the surrounding area.
They definitely couldn't go over there, but they had to ascertain the situation of their teammates as soon as possible.
Ke Lin looked at Wen Yi: "How to deal with it?"
Wen is also thinking.
At this time, Chi Liz, who was responsible for reconnaissance in a farther place, flew back and said as soon as he landed: "I just left the magnetic field and received a call from Captain Qi. They have arrived at the base station. We have also explained the situation here to them. Captain Qi said that the avalanche was most likely caused by KID, and asked us not to get close to that place."
Qi Sicheng contacted the Dawn spacecraft through the base station and confirmed the situation with the spacecraft before conveying the information to others.
Hu Luobu heard this and said, "I said that this mountain couldn't collapse without knowing why! Burying people is something KID is the best at."
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but look towards Luxi. It was hard to imagine that such a quiet and gentle girl was in the same group with KID's gang of hooligans.
Lu Xi quietly defended himself to his teammates: "We don't bury it every time."
Colin glanced at Hu Luobu: "You know a lot?"
Hu Luobu: "I was buried by them after all."
Chi Liz nodded in agreement: "It is indeed different with experience."
Hu Luobu: "I suggest you don't try it."
Wen Yi was thinking... There were more and more strong teams around, and they had begun to enter the strange white fog magnetic field. It was obvious that their behavior was very purposeful, but now the commander Ying Chenlin could not be contacted, and they could not just wait here for people.
"What can we do if we don't get close?" Chi Liz asked puzzledly. Θ
The ones who disappeared were Zhao Lejie and KID's main force. With Ying Chenlin's intelligence, he would not sit and wait for death in the avalanche. It was very likely that the avalanche was caused by him deliberately. At this time, there were strong teams surrounding them. If they rushed over, it would be tantamount to wasting Ying Chenlin's prior arrangements. It would be better to use the time gap when the strong teams gathered in the snow mountain to investigate the situation around the snow mountain as much as possible.
After Colin and Wen Yi discussed for a while, the two commanders made a decision.
"Let's go do the mission."
-*
At the same time, underground in Slared, the attacked group of five were diving deeper.
After Yuan's reminder, before Ying Chenlin could speak, You Su and Huo Yan around him also noticed something unusual.
"Is Lao Zhao's shield frozen?" Huo Yan asked.
Zhao Lejie's full attention was on controlling the shield. Hearing what Huo Yan said, he immediately checked the data around the shield. Sure enough, he found a data feedback report showing that the shield was frozen. "Oh my god... what the hell is this underground place——"
You Su's gaze stopped at the temperature of the mecha's surface. In less than 2 minutes, the temperature of the mecha's surface dropped drastically by 30 degrees, and it continued to drop as they continued to sink.
This temperature change is undoubtedly strange. Normally, the temperature will be higher as you go closer to the center of the earth.
But now the deeper we sink, the lower the temperature becomes.
The shaking around continued. The ice on Zhao Lejie's shield was broken by the impact shortly after it formed. Under the protection of Zhao Lejie's shield, they were pulled deeper and deeper by those strange roots. The roots almost completely bound the entire light shield. When the searchlight was shone out, the condition of the surrounding ice could no longer be seen clearly.
Before they could figure out what was happening with the ice during the bumpy ride, they fell into an open area with their shields. The plant roots covering the surface of the protective shield slowed down, but they held Zhao Lejie's shield tightly and would not let go.
Lin Yao's entire mecha was upside down. Seeing this, he asked with difficulty: "Have we arrived yet?"
Huo Yan shone the searchlight through the root cracks outside and found that they had arrived at a rare open place. "It seems like we're there. It looks very empty outside."
Zhao Lejie was pressed down by Lin Yao, "We're here, can you get up first?"
Lin Yao hurriedly got up and pulled Zhao Lejie along, "Oh, okay. Thank you for your hard work."
"Now you know how hard I work!" Zhao Lejie held up the shield with one hand. As soon as he stood firm, he suddenly realized that the plant roots covering the surface of his shield were crawling slowly.
The crawling sound seemed particularly strange in the vast underground space, and the movements of several mechas in the protective shield stopped unconsciously.
The searchlight was lowered to shine on the roots crawling on the top. Like a reptile, it circled around Zhao Lejie's shield, making a slasling sound as it moved, and finally slowly withdrew.
Lin Yao: "This thing seems to be licking."
Silasila's voice lingered in his ears. Zhao Lejie was in a dilemma with his shield raised, "...My shield is dirty."
Huo Yan: "It's okay, it can be used again after washing."
Not all the roots have been removed, and there are still a few thick ones that are tightly encircling the protective shield, but the gaps left are enough for everyone to see the situation underground clearly.
Huo Yan's searchlight shone outwards, but the light did not reach the end.
The deep, dark ice layer beneath the ground is extremely vast, and the upside-down ice spikes on the top are as sharp and strange as the teeth of a giant beast. In this special ice space that seems to have no end, there are suspended ice cones everywhere, the ice surface is uneven, and there are even a few strange high icicles.
The icicles have strange and irregular shapes.
Should be
His sight stopped at the nearest icicle, and he suddenly said in a stern voice: "Brother Huo, shine to the left."
When this photo was taken, everyone got goosebumps instantly.
Inside that icicle was a contaminant.
Seeing this situation, Ying Chenlin hurriedly turned on the searchlight and shone it to the side. Each of the irregular icicles around them was filled with pollutants.
You Su's eyes darkened slightly, "Ying Chenlin, look at the one in front of us, use the scope to see."
Upon hearing this, Ying Chenlin immediately looked over and with his closer field of vision he could instantly see the icicle clearly.
In the transparent white icicle, the pollutant lay motionless. At its lower left side, slender black roots were crawling, penetrating the ice and clinging tightly to the pollutant, whose feet had turned into white bones.
Seeing this situation, Ying Chenlin's expression changed slightly, and he quickly looked at the other icicles, his heart sank.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that these pollutants are in the same situation as them. After being dragged down by the roots, they become nutrients for the pollutants.
Lin Yao's eyes widened. "Has it been sucked dry?"
Zhao Lejie looked up at his shield, which was already covered with ice. "Damn it, our luck can't be that bad!?"
Huo Yan: "It seems to be getting colder."
Under the Slared Snow Mountain, the temperature reached a strange freezing point. Even though there was a constant temperature system in the mecha cockpit, the biting cold still penetrated through the various gaps in the mecha, and the temperature in everyone's cockpit was getting lower and lower.
This strange cold made everyone feel like they were about to freeze to death, and they all raised the temperature in the cockpit to resist the cold.
Zhao Lejie was the coldest. His mecha was almost against the aperture of the protective shield, and thin ice appeared on his mecha. He had to move his body to break the ice on his body.
Ying Chenlin had to lower the temperature in the cockpit to 35 degrees. He fully understood the intention of this pollutant. No wonder it loosened its grip when it was dragging them halfway... Its original purpose was to wait for them to lose reaction and then drag them into its own territory for absorption.
However, the resistance of the mechas in the ice was beyond its imagination, and their actions of breaking the ice also attracted the attention of the pollutant, so it attacked again.
"It's not ordinary freezing. The cold air around here can even freeze energy." Ying Chenlin released the detection tool on the mecha and connected it to Zhao Lejie's mecha. The data of the shield body was quickly transmitted.
Zhao Lejie was stunned when he saw this, "What are you doing?"
Ying Chenlin frowned: "Help you repair the shield, this shield cannot be removed."
The protective shield is an energy shield formed by shield-type weapons, which has a certain degree of stability and variability.
The light shield formed by this type of defensive weapon covers the largest amount of energy, and each deployment consumes a certain amount of energy... As a tank mecha active in the contaminated area, the materials selected for the mecha have a certain degree of cold resistance, and the freezing point of the weapon energy is extremely low.
It is impossible for a normal environment to freeze a weapon. There is only one possibility: contaminants are causing the shield to freeze.
In an environment like the snowy mountains, the probability of ice-attribute pollutants appearing is the highest. Ying Chenlin has also seen weapons that can freeze mechas in the arena, but freezing mechas and freezing energy are two different situations.
What's more, the weapon Zhao Lejie is holding now is the work of Ying Chenlin, and its frost resistance is stronger than normal defensive weapons.
The energy of the weapons can be frozen. Once they lose Zhao Lejie's shield, their mechas can last even shorter in such an environment. Huo Yan's anti-injury shield does not have such high defense. Before determining the cause, Zhao Lejie's shield must be kept.
"Wait!? How many pollutants are there in this place?" Zhao Lejie asked.
Lin Yao: "If you're unlucky, there will be only one. If you're lucky, there should be many."
Zhao Lejie: “…”
Do you KIDs have a big misunderstanding about luck? !
You Su used the searchlight and sight to look at all the icicles around him, and Theo's voice continued in his mind.
"Wow, I've never seen the one on the left!" Theo continued to look to the side, "Oh, and that one, I haven't seen it either. It's not recorded in Slared's database! It's not in our database either. Is the one on the left an S-level one?"
You Su was secretly shocked. The pollutants underground were extremely rare and scarce.
Lin Yao shouted, "Wow, that's an S-rank Ice Bird, right? I saw it in the Slared database."
Huo Yan was surprised and said, "Then this plant-type pollutant is very strong. It can use S-level pollutants as nutrients."
"It seems that there is more to it than just cooperation."
You Su said: "This plant-type has a higher status."
Ying Chenlin's mental power entered Zhao Lejie's mecha through the interface of the medical mecha to adjust the data. This inspection found that the ice covering the shield only froze the surface energy, and the internal energy did not reach the freezing point.
This is good news. If only the surface energy is frozen, it means that energy cannons and other artillery weapons can still be used.
The shield's consumption was not as high as expected, and Zhao Lejie's operation was very meticulous.
Ying Chenlin completely released his mental power. The subtle mental power penetrated Zhao Lejie's weapon and spread around him, repairing the damaged parts step by step.
Ying Chenlin withdrew his mental power: "Okay."
Zhao Lejie had no sense of Shen Lin's mental power. The other party's mental power used for repair was very weak. If the other party hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have reacted. "Ah? Is it fixed now? Or you can check again. I'm so badly damaged."
Ying Chenlin looked at him doubtfully, "No need."
Zhao Lejie was about to say something when he suddenly saw the gun mecha next to Ying Chenlin, and immediately took back the words.
He opened the mecha data and was stunned when he saw the shield repair data.
As a tank, he was often repaired by his own medical mecha, but after so many missions with KID, this was the first time that Ying Chenlin used a medical mecha to repair him.
When Li Jingyan approached the three major bases to discuss the Star Alliance mission, the heads of each base originally considered forming a full team to fill the six vacancies. As a result, Qi Sicheng and Colin unanimously decided not to bring medical personnel and bring an extra gun, which led to the final formation.
Qi Sicheng and Ke Lin are very confident in Shen Lin's maintenance level, even if it is an offensive medical.
This confidence was based on Ying Chenlin's original maintenance level. But now, as Zhao Lejie looked at the mecha data information on his data panel, he suddenly realized that Ying Chenlin was not repairing the mecha according to the original system of the medical mecha. He was first looking for the points of wear and tear and then performing detailed repairs on the important damaged locations.
It only took him less than 3 minutes to check and repair a job that others would take 5 minutes to complete.
It was the first time that Ying Chenlin came to perform on-site repairs, and Zhao Lejie had already tasted the sweetness. If he could follow you and know the location of your mecha's wear and tear at any time and provide medical treatment, and could carry out detailed repairs on the most seriously damaged parts as soon as possible, it would be like extending your life!
Zhao Lejie: “…”
KID is so lucky to get a treasure like sink.
Repairing the shield is one thing, the focus now is how to leave this place or figure out the situation in this space.
When Ying Chenlin finished the maintenance, Huo Yan had already sorted out the information about the surroundings and sent it to him. From the current detection distance that the mecha can detect, the extension distance of this space is impossible to estimate, and it is very difficult to find a pollutant in such a large range.
"Lin Yao, cut off all the roots."
Lin Yao paused after hearing this and quickly took out his knife, "Old Zhao, open a slit for me."
After Zhao Lejie's shield was repaired, he shook off the ice on the surface. When the ice under their feet receded, ice marks appeared visibly on the soles of their feet. Lin Yao cut off all the roots that were tied to Zhao Lejie's shield before his weapons were frozen, and the ice that was originally stuck in the ice pile broke with their movements.
Several people hurriedly retreated and started to move before they were frozen into icicles.
"They didn't attack us anymore." Lin Yao said.
Ying Chenlin picked up the roots on the ground and tied them to his feet neatly, saying, "Tie these roots to the joints of the mecha. It is extremely cold-resistant."
After hearing what Ying Chenlin said, they suddenly remembered that although this place was frozen solid, the roots of these plants were not frozen. On the contrary, they could move freely in the ice.
Good stuff! Lin Yao tied all the cut roots to the outer layer of the mecha's foot, and found that some of the root fluids were not frozen. "Will it work if you squeeze them into juice? The kind you can apply on your body."
Zhao Lejie: "Tell me how to squeeze juice!?"$$This$$work$$is$$by$$
It may be the characteristics of these special roots. There is a strange energy reaction around them that can resist the cold, so they can move freely in the ice. Tying these things on the body does greatly affect the speed at which the mecha freezes. For them, tying these things on the body greatly helps them move freely.
Now they became even more interested, and since these plants did not move after coming here, they collected a large number of roots even more wantonly and tied them all to their bodies.
Everyone walked along these roots for a while and tied some of them into knots. Although it affected the movement of the mecha a little, they were lucky enough not to be frozen.
Ying Chenlin shone the light at the bottom of the ice and saw black roots appearing in the ice. Upon closer inspection, he found that these roots were not entirely black, but more of a milky white color. The original black color looked more like blood drawn from the pollutants.
He raised his head slightly, and his eyes suddenly stopped on Zhao Lejie's shield.
With these roots tied together, they can move in the space outside the protective shield for about a minute, making it easier for them to observe the surrounding situation.
However, they walked a long distance along the ice space and did not find any clues about anything 'special'.
"No." Zhao Lejie said, "It's too dark here. We can't see the current situation clearly. Even if there is enough energy, the oxygen refills we carry may not be able to support us to move underground for such a long time. Is the pollutant that controls the magnetic field you mentioned really in here?"
Huo Yan also felt the difficulty of the situation. If the pollutants could be directly hit in front of them, it would be fine. But the difficulty was that they didn't see the pollutants at all. All they saw was an underground pollutant icicle breeding ground.
"It doesn't seem to have any shortage of food and drink. What if it consumes us to death?" Lin Yao asked.
Zhao Lejie: "Is there anyone who gives it advice like you——"
"Zhao Lejie, open a hole in your shield for me." Ying Chenlin took out the energy cannon and suddenly said.
Zhao Lejie heard the command and shrank the protective shield. "What do you want to do?"
Before he could finish his words, the next second he saw Ying Chenlin cut out an energy cannon and blasted it towards the nearest ice pillar.
The energy cannon made a very loud noise underground, and the icicles destroyed the frozen ice layer as soon as they blasted past. The icicles, along with the frozen pollutants inside, broke on the ground in front of everyone, and the limbs broke into two.
This movement directly scared Zhao Lejie who had opened the shield. Before he could react to what to do, Ying Chenlin had already reached out to pick up the broken icicle and shook off the broken ice on the arm of the mecha.
Seeing this, Lin Yao came over and said, "This one is dead."
Ying Chenlin cut it into a space staff and used it to break the surface ice, "Dig out the energy crystal."
Lin Yao took action immediately and soon found the energy crystal from the polluted ice. He habitually scanned it with the mecha and said, "Strange, this energy crystal can't detect the pollution value."
Ying Chenlin said: "It was sucked dry."
Zhao Lejie was stunned: "Suck it dry? Is this pollutant so scary?"
They are the ones who know best how difficult it is to handle the energy in the pollutant energy crystals, as all mecha weapons use this energy.
But now these energy can be easily absorbed by this kind of roots, how powerful this pollutant must be! ?
Ying Chenlin paused for a moment, and glanced at it: "But it seems that it is not completely sucked dry."
There are no active roots in these drained icicles, but some of them still have roots. "Hit those with roots."
You Su cut into the energy cannon and fired at Zhao Lejie's originally open mouth.
The icicles also fell down, and the power of the weapons decreased due to the cold air. He said, "Lin Yao, go pick that up."
Lin Yao quickly threw out the shield and picked up the ice cube that You Su had blasted away. This time, the energy crystal he took out of the ice cube still had a reaction, which meant it could be used. "This one wasn't sucked dry, so it can be used."
Ying Chenlin nodded: "Then pick it up and sell it outside."
Lin Yao pointed to the front and said, "There's an S-level one in front! That one must be sucking slowly!"
Ying Chenlin cut the energy cannon and fired again, and another icicle broke.
Zhao Lejie looked blankly at the kids moving around. They had already joined the action of destroying the icicles. He was the only one standing there: "??? Wait, what are you doing?"
destroy? provocative? Picking up pollutants? Or find joy in misery? If we don't find a solution, they will all die here!
"Didn't you say we can't just sit there and wait for death?" Ying Chenlin didn't stop what he was doing and said to Zhao Lejie, "Since we can't find it, we can only lure it out."
Ying Chenlin and You Su were on the left and right, and all their shells were fired at the icicle.
Seeing the icicles in the distance being knocked to the ground one by one, Zhao Lejie began to feel numb all over for some reason.
Zhao Lejie: “?”
At this time, he noticed that the ice beneath his feet was buzzing and vibrating, as if something was crawling quickly and seemed to be approaching.
Ying Chenlin said: "Here I come."
Lin Yao, who had just picked up the S-level pollutant ice cube, had bright eyes. "Here comes Brother Huo! The big one!"
Huo Yan: "Over there?!"
"The left?"
You Su: "Underground on the right."
Ying Chenlin: "I heard the sound coming from diagonally above."
Zhao Lejie: “……?”
What are they talking about? ? ?
At this moment, the ground, which had been calm, suddenly began to vibrate with a buzzing sound. Zhao Lejie suddenly turned the light to the side and saw that the roots of the plants that had been calm in the ice layer began to move again at this time, and suddenly rushed towards the mecha moving on the surface of the ice layer.
Zhao Lejie turned his head in confusion, and a large number of roots rushed towards him. At this moment, he missed Qi Sicheng very much.
KID and his group became even crazier when they were dying. They didn't want to sit and wait for death, so they asked for death.
The author has something to say:
The stuff underground is more complicated, so the article will be longer.
There are a lot of pollutants in this place!
