Chapter 132
Song Yue ran out, her mind still replaying the faint cries for help that had previously lingered in her ears.
That wasn't coming from a human at all, but from these tentacles.
The tentacles simulate the sounds of humans calling for help.
It may be due to a lack of vocabulary, or an inability to organize more complex language.
In short, this is why no matter how Yuan Ling and Yan Zhuo asked, they could not get a more in-depth answer.
Song Yue's brows furrowed, realizing that these species, which Chen Xin and the others called evil creatures, possessed a certain level of intelligence, otherwise they would not have deliberately imitated sounds to lure them into the cave.
However, if she could lure them in, she could naturally lure them out.
The two evolved level 2 evil creatures were brought out of the cave by Song Yue.
After completely exposing them to the outside, Song Yue finally saw the true appearance of these things.
Their irregularly shaped black bodies were slimy and slippery, as if coated in oil. They had no legs, relying solely on their black legs to wriggle across the ice, similar to snails, but far faster. Tentacles of varying shapes waved in mid-air. A closer look revealed a row of sharp, fangs beneath them.
Their tentacles are their hunting tools and also their mouths. Once caught by them, it would be difficult to escape.
Song Yue slid and made a sharp turn just as a bunch of dense tentacles were about to touch her.
There were oil drums in the camp. Song Yue had discovered three of them during a previous inspection. They were probably the expedition's fuel supplies. Because they were exposed to the elements, the diesel inside had frozen solid.
To melt the ice in diesel, you need to add pour point depressant, which the camp must have in reserve.
Facts proved that Song Yue's guess was correct. Next to the three barrels of diesel was a four or five cubic meter metal storage tank with a label that read: Diesel Pour Point Depressant.
The metal storage tank is directly connected to three diesel barrels. After turning on the switches on both sides, the paste-like pour point depressant in the tank slowly slides into the diesel barrels along the pipe.
It takes some time to melt the ice, so Song Yue turned on the switch and ran away.
She used the scattered steel bars, canvas, and derricks in the camp as cover to keep the two evil creatures away.
Suddenly, there were several deafening rumbling sounds in the cave. Song Yue turned her head and found that it was Shen Xin who was releasing a powerful skill. The fiercely burning flames illuminated the entire cave, and an evil creature immediately fell at the entrance of the cave.
There are 8 left, 2 of which are with her and 6 are in the cave.
Shen Xin and the others are still in danger.
The thought flashed through his mind, and Song Yue grabbed the half-collapsed derrick in front of him with both hands. He lowered his head slightly, and like a little cheetah passing through a ring of fire, he whizzed through the middle and successfully escaped from the tentacles of the demons.
The diesel has melted at this point.
Song Yue picked up a matchbox from a pile of scattered goods, struck a few matches, opened the lid of the oil barrel, and threw them in!
The moment the flame touched the oil surface, flames shot up into the sky and exploded before my eyes!
This was followed by a deafening explosion, comparable to the eruption of the Lime Island volcano.
Song Yue slipped away very quickly, and before the explosion reached her, she threw herself behind a piece of ice that she had prepared in advance, thus avoiding this wave of bombing.
Inside the cave.
Ran Yan and Yuan Ling were shocked by the deafening bombing.
"What is Song Yue doing? Does she want this whole place to blow up?"
Yuan Ling didn't have a good impression of Song Yue to begin with, and now when she heard about the big move she had made outside, she was even more unhappy.
Ran Yan covered his ears, looked at the crumbling cave above his head, and shouted loudly: "Brother Chen Xin, Uncle Yan Zhuo, the cave seems to be collapsing!"
Shen Xin noticed that the cave ceiling was beginning to crack, so he turned around and ordered sternly, "Ran Yan and Yuan Ling, you two go first!"
Yuan Ling hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and pulled Ran Yan along: "Okay! You and Yan Zhuo, hurry up!"
She and Ran Yan were not bad in speed. After all, one was level 7 and the other level 8, and they had the basic qualities of a senior investigator. But the strange thing was that when the two ran out of the cave, Shen Xin and Yan Zhuo both noticed that their dodging speed was obviously slower than that of Song Yue, who was level 3.
This is obviously strange.
Yan Zhuo swung his fists twice at the tentacles, smashing them into pieces and then retracting them.
"Chen Xin, her skills may be related to dodging." Yan Zhuo said his guess.
At this time, Shen Xin also released a ball of fire, burning a way to escape in front: "Yeah, I think so too."
If so, that's not bad, Shen Xin thought. Although he is not an offensive investigator, he can definitely be used as a mobile personnel in combat and respond flexibly on the battlefield.
With a loud bang!
The moment Shen Xin and Yan Zhuo escaped, the cave collapsed!
They were located at the waistline of the snow-capped mountain, several thousand meters above it. Therefore, the span of the cave was said to have gathered the weight of half the snow-capped mountain, pressing the evil creatures inside so that they could not turn over.
“Well done.”
Everyone saw that Ana Shen walked up to Song Yue and praised her with a smile.
Ran Yan put his hands in his pockets, shrugged and said nothing.
Yuan Ling snorted coldly, his face full of dissatisfaction.
A level 3 investigator almost got everyone killed because of her recklessness. What is there to praise for?
Only Shen Xin is gentle and can encourage her a few words. If it were another level 10 investigator, would she not be scolded to death?
Seeing her dissatisfaction, Yan Zhuo walked silently to her side and patted her gently: "Don't be like this, she is only level 3, which is already very powerful."
Think about what they were doing at level 3?
They were still stuck in a one-star mission. Not to mention facing evil creatures, even facing normal wild beasts, they were trembling with fear.
Yan Zhuo felt that Song Yue was indeed a good candidate, and the bureau's decision to arrange four senior investigators to supervise her was indeed well-considered.
Yuan Ling curled her lips and didn't respond to Yan Zhuo's words, but her expression became slightly more restrained. At least she no longer looked as disgusted with Song Yue as she did at the beginning.
The nine evil creatures were dealt with just like that. Song Yue didn't understand what else needed to be done after this, so she asked Chen Xin, "Is there any other process afterwards?"
Ana Shen smiled, revealing a beautiful face: “Good question, you are becoming more and more like a professional investigator.”
In the past ten years at the Investigation Bureau, he has led countless newcomers, but few of them have the reaction and psychological quality like Song Yue, and can still think about the handling process afterwards.
He suddenly understood the deeper meaning of the situation, so he praised her generously and explained patiently.
"In missions with a three-star rating or lower, investigators must uncover complete evidence to prove the cause of death, such as a natural disaster or a man-made disaster. However, in missions involving evil creatures, the cause of death can be attributed to the 'evil creature.'"
"If you encounter an evil creature, investigators must do their utmost to strangle it, otherwise it will travel through the tunnel to other places and continue to harm other innocent citizens."
"Today, we have successfully strangled nine evil creatures. Our mission is successfully completed. We will each collect some more evil fragments later, and then we can withdraw."
Song Yue pondered: "Are we going to take the fragments back for research?"
Chen Xin: "Yes. There are countless types of evil creatures from the void. The Bureau has been committed to studying newly discovered species. We have our own research institute. If you give them the fragments, they will study the weaknesses of the evil creatures. Once we understand the weaknesses, it will be easier to deal with them in the future."
When Ana Shen said these words, her voice was unspeakably gentle.
But who would have thought that he himself almost lost his life in order to obtain the mantis fragments.
The corners of Yuan Ling's mouth twitched unnaturally, and the scene of Chen Xin covered in bruises kept coming back to her mind.
Shen Xin is very powerful and great.
If it weren't for the fragments he brought back at the last moment, the bureau wouldn't have known Mantis's weakness, let alone developed a countermeasure.
After that battle, mantises began to appear in other worlds one after another. However, because of Shen Xin's pioneering work, the investigators sent there all knew how to strangle them, and no one lost their lives since then.
It can be said that the success of these younger generations is all achieved by stepping on the blood and flesh of their ancestors. It was the ancestors who sacrificed their flesh and blood to bring peace to the world today.
Yuan Ling was also one of those who benefited from the benefits of her ancestors.
And now, she has also embarked on the path of her predecessors and laid a new foundation for the younger generations.
What they encountered today was a new species that was not included in the rule book. If they brought it back to the bureau, the investigation bureau would definitely pay attention to it.
Debris collection is a technical job, it doesn't mean you can just pick up a piece at random.
Following Shen Xin's patient guidance, Song Yue understood that this fragment referred to the brain of the evil creature.
"Use this laser to dig out the brain. Come on, give it a try."
Song Yue was of a low level, so she was not given a laser this time, so Shen Xin gave his own to Song Yue.
Song Yue stood in front of the Level 2 evil creature that was blown to pieces, carefully searching for its brain.
Yuan Ling and several others stood not far away, responsible for taking photos, collecting the deceased's belongings, etc. These were to be taken back and handed over to the deceased's family to give them an explanation.
Back to the brain-digging business, among the three of them, Ran Yan had never participated in it once and had no experience, but Yuan Ling and Yan Zhuo had participated in it several times and did not need this opportunity to practice.
But Chen Xin would rather let Song Yue, who is level 3, take the lead than arrange Ran Yan, who is level 7. This scene fell into Yuan Ling's eyes, and once again made her feel uncomfortable in her heart.
She didn't understand why Chen Xin was so nice to this rookie? Wasn't Ran Yan better than Song Yue? Why should he give her this valuable brain-digging experience?
Yuan Ling didn't understand, and she couldn't help but feel a little angry. She didn't want to see Chen Xin instructing the rookie anymore, so she turned around and went to the tent at the edge of the camp to collect the belongings of the deceased.
However, what Yuan Ling didn't notice was that not far from her feet, several thin black lines had stretched out from the ruins. They were like elongated earthworms, moving silently towards her feet.
Although the evil creature's body was huge, its brain was only as small as a walnut kernel. Song Yue rummaged through the debris for a long time before he saw the milky white brain faintly visible on the ice.
The brain was connected to the surrounding flesh. Shen Xin meant that she just had to cut around it.
Song Yue aimed the laser at the surroundings and was about to take action when she suddenly saw the small brain jump on the ice.
She thought she was dazzled, so she stopped and looked a few more times.
Suddenly, dense black lines grew around the brain, like a spider web, wrapping it inside.
"Chen Xin!" She shouted, aiming the laser in her hand at the cutting!
However, the spider web was as solid as the special metal in science fiction movies. It could not be cut at all and even bounced the laser back.
Song Yue hissed and instinctively dropped the laser.
As a result, her entire right wrist fell on the ice along with the laser!
Blood gushed out of the smooth cut, like a burst pipe.
Chen Xin stared at the brain on the ground, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he immediately picked up Song Yue and rushed towards Ran Yan: "Ran Yan, quickly treat Song Yue's injuries!"
"Yan Zhuo, sever the connection! Prevent the evil creature from regenerating!"
At his first shout, everyone looked up.
At first, everyone's first reaction was suspicion. What could have made Shen Xin so panicked? But after seeing Song Yue in Shen Xin's arms and the blood flowing all over the ground, they instantly understood why Shen Xin was terrified!
"Regeneration?! These evil creatures can actually regenerate?!" Yuan Ling widened his pupils, unable to believe it.
You should know that among the hundreds of evil creatures introduced in the rule book, only a few have the ability to regenerate, and even if they have this ability, there are very strict time limits.
Usually within 1 minute, as long as the investigator cuts off the evil creature's regenerative connection within 1 minute, the evil creature will die completely.
But what is going on?
More than 10 minutes have passed since the evil creature died. How could it be possible that the evil creature...!
However, facts speak louder than words. No matter how surprised Yuan Ling, Ran Yan and Yan Zhuo were, they immediately accepted this harsh reality!
Yan Zhuo received the order and instantly rushed to the brain, smashing down with his fist like steel.
result……
He was stunned: “Shen Xin, I can’t smash it!”
After a pause, he shouted again: "No, it's too late, we can't stop the regeneration, let's go down the mountain first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Zhuo felt something grabbing him at his feet.
He lowered his head.
Staring in shock!
The next moment, the picture seemed to freeze, and everyone saw the black thread going straight up along his ankles, thighs, torso... Every time it passed a part, the thread was like a sharp blade, instantly cutting through the flesh and bones.
Dense threads of blood gushed out, and because there were so many wounds, it looked like a human body explosion from a distance.
The slow motion scene stops here.
Yan Zhuo stared with his torn face, his expression frozen in shock.
"Yan Zhuo!!!"
Yuan Ling screamed and rushed over there.
"Don't go over there! Leave now!" Shen Xin hugged Song Yue and shouted.
However, Yuan Ling did not have the chance to run to Yan Zhuo.
Because the next second, she found that her ankles were also wrapped by black silk threads.
"Sister Yuan Ling!!!"
"Yuan Ling, activate the shield!"
Ran Yan and Shen Xin shouted at the same time!
