Mou Xuan's face turned pale in an instant. He rushed to the cave entrance, narrowed his eyes, and stared at the violently shaking ground.
"Oh my god, is this going to be a live-action version of 'Earthquake'?" Mou Xuan cursed in his heart. The monsters of this apocalypse had such a unique way of appearing, they simply left no way for humans to survive.
The dust flew everywhere like a boiling pot, choking people and making it impossible to open their eyes.
"Cough cough... cough cough..." Defense Team Member Sun coughed so hard that his lungs felt like they were going to explode. While coughing, he did not forget to complain: "This... this is not an earthquake, this is a monster trying to demolish our house!"
At this critical moment, Mou Xuan suddenly pulled over Qian, the space scientist beside him, and shouted, "Old Qian, don't just stand there, think of a solution quickly. Aren't you a space researcher? Let's see what's going on underground!"
After being yelled at by Mou Xuan, Qian Space Scientist was no longer afraid. He took a deep breath, adjusted his glasses, and forced himself to calm down.
"Let me think about it, let me think about it..." He muttered to himself, his eyes quickly scanning the surroundings. Suddenly, his gaze fixed on the strange patterns on the wall of the cave.
"These lines... these lines..." Qian, the space scientist, was so excited that his voice was trembling. "I understand, I understand! These lines are not formed naturally, they... they are related to the energy of the space cracks!"
"What? Space cracks?" Mu Xuan was confused. "Old Qian, can you speak human language? It's already this hour, and you're still using technical terms with me!"
"What I mean is that these lines are like some kind of switch that can guide the energy in the space cracks!" Qian Space Scientist hurriedly explained, "If we can master the rules of these lines, maybe we can use the space energy to create an energy barrier to resist the monster's attack!"
"Energy barrier? It sounds a bit reliable!" Mou Xuan's eyes lit up, but then he frowned again, "But how can we master the rules of these patterns?"
"Give me some time, I need to study it carefully." Space scientist Qian said, and then he plunged into those lines and began his research work.
At the same time, biological researcher Li was not idle either. He took out several bottles and jars from his backpack and started tinkering with them.
"Researcher Li, what are you doing?" Mou Xuan asked curiously.
"I'm preparing a drug that can stabilize the structure of the cave." Researcher Li said without looking up, "The vibration just now has caused great damage to the cave. If it is not dealt with in time, I'm afraid we will all be buried here."
"Oh my god, you can do this?" Mou Xuan was surprised. This Researcher Li looked weak at ordinary times, but unexpectedly he was so reliable at the critical moment.
"I know a little, a little." Researcher Li smiled modestly, but his hands did not stop moving at all.
On the other side, medical team member Wu was providing emergency treatment to the injured team members.
"Doctor Wu, what's the situation?" Mou Xuan walked to medical team member Wu and asked with concern.
"The injuries have been controlled and there is no immediate danger to life." Medical team member Wu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said tiredly, "But we don't have much medical supplies anymore. If we encounter any unexpected situations again, I'm afraid..."
"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Mu Xuan patted medical team member Wu on the shoulder and comforted him, "We will definitely be able to get out alive."
As time passed, the vibrations outside the cave became more and more intense, and the roars of the monster became clearer and clearer, as if they were right next to my ears.
"Old Qian, are you okay?" Mou Xuan asked anxiously. He felt the sweat on his forehead was about to drip down.
"Almost there, almost there!" Qian, the space scientist, stared at the patterns on the wall intently, his fingers sliding across them quickly, "I seem to have found some patterns, give me a little more time!"
Suddenly, Qian Space Scientist's eyes lit up, and he shouted excitedly: "I succeeded! I found a way to control energy!"
As he said that, he turned his head and said to Mou Xuan: "Mou Xuan, do as I say, inject energy into these lines, and we can create an energy barrier!"
Without saying a word, Mou Xuan immediately followed the instructions of Qian Space Scientist and continuously injected the supernatural energy in his body into the patterns on the wall.
With the injection of energy, those originally dull lines began to emit dazzling light.
The light became stronger and brighter, and finally gathered into a huge energy barrier, blocking the cave entrance tightly.
At the same time, researcher Li Biology also completed the preparation of the medicine, and he sprayed it on key parts of the cave.
A magical thing happened. With the spraying of the medicine, the originally shaky cave gradually stabilized and the shaking of the ground slowly stopped.
"Success! We succeeded!" Defense team member Sun jumped up excitedly. He felt like he had walked back from the gates of hell. It felt so good to have survived a disaster.
"Don't be happy too soon, the monster is still outside." Mou Xuan said in a deep voice. He was not carried away by the victory in front of him.
"Mu Xuan is right. We can't let our guard down yet." The former space scientist also said calmly, "The energy barrier can only temporarily block the monsters. We must find a way to leave here as soon as possible."
"But how can we leave?" Communicator Zhou said with a worried look on his face, "The communication equipment has been severely interfered with in the crack, and we can't get in touch with the base at all."
