Chapter 255
The half-open metal door was like a mouth ready to reveal a secret, quietly inviting the two explorers to enter.
Jiang Yunu stepped into the door and felt the light around him turn from bright to dark.
She blinked twice and adapted to the change in environment in an instant.
Shen Yijing observed her carefully and said, "You adapt quickly."
Captain Shen spoke in a low voice, as if afraid of disturbing the things lurking in this seemingly quiet and peaceful environment.
Jiang Yunu also lowered his voice and asked softly, "Do I need to wait for you?"
Shen Yijing: “…No need.”
The white-haired girl's mouth has a magical power that can instantly change other people's emotional atmosphere.
Both of them quickly adapted to the environment and continued forward in tacit understanding without having to stop to make adjustments.
Perhaps the original design concept of this metal door was that it was only for exit and not for entry, so there were no security facilities immediately visible behind the door.
Behind the door is a passage, which is empty for about fifty meters. There are only smooth walls on both sides of the passage, and there is no sign of any doors or corners.
[We are like walking in a pipe] - this thought suddenly jumped into Jiang Yunu's mind, making her think that she and Shen Yijing were like two little mice sneaking through the pipe, preparing to "steal food" from someone else's nest.
Who knows, these two "little mice" might be able to cause some damage.
Shen Yijing had no idea why Jiang Yunu was walking. As he was walking, the corner of his mouth suddenly turned up strangely. He glanced sideways to confirm Jiang Yunu's expression, but after confirming it, he only added to his confusion.
"Listen." Jiang Yunu suddenly stopped smiling and stopped.
Shen Yijing's movements were almost completely synchronized with hers, and they stopped side by side.
Captain Shen listened carefully and found that there was indeed a faint sound coming from deep in the passage ahead.
"There's a sound." He said calmly.
"I bet they are here to 'welcome' us." Jiang Yunu said with interest.
Shen Yijing wasn't sure if her definition of "welcome" was a little too intense, but he knew that regarding the "risky bet" between Jiang Yunu and Lu Lumalin, the girl next to him was 100% going to lose.
Soon, clear figures appeared in the passage ahead, and the two were indeed warmly "welcomed".
Jiang Yunu ducked her body, dodging the psychic light that slashed across her head. She didn't rush to get up, but instead bent over, her knees bent, and moved awkwardly against the wall, leaving the space above her head to another person.
Shen Yijing's knife was as fast as lightning. The back of the knife pushed forward into the space that Jiang Yunu had deliberately avoided. His movements were steady and full of power. He collided with the hard object wrapped in the supernatural light in a steady and powerful way.
“clang!”
The light of supernatural power became stronger, and amber-gold light burst out from the black blade, mixing with the blue light that swept over. Then the amber-gold light became stronger, swallowing the opponent with unstoppable force. The blue light was shattered in the golden light, revealing the true form of the "hidden weapon" that was originally hidden by the light - a blue water spear.
"What a shady move!"
Jiang Yunuren had already continued to move forward, and only the muttering sound drifted back to Shen Yijing's ears.
If you treat the supernatural light just now as an ordinary skill and don't defend yourself with physical weapons, and your dodging skills are a little weaker, there is a chance that the spear wrapped in it will make a hole somewhere in your body.
Fortunately, they all had keen energy perception and noticed that there was something inside the light.
Jiang Yunu took advantage of Chen Yijing intercepting the "large hidden weapon" and quickly moved forward to attack the instigator of the long-range spear throwing.
——That was an alien that barely had a human form.
The mutant's torso and legs still retain normal human proportions, but its arms and hands are extremely large.
"Like Popeye who only got stronger arms after eating spinach." Jiang Yunu commented in a murmur, using a metaphor that Shen Yijing couldn't understand.
Shen Yijing decided to compile what he heard into the database of "Unsolved Mysteries of Jiang Yunu's Words and Deeds". This database was his alone and built in his heart.
They use metaphors that are incomprehensible, but they fight a battle that is clear to understand.
When Jiang Yunu discovered the target, the other party also discovered her. The two mutated thick arms waved, and the giant palm condensed a giant object created by supernatural power out of thin air, and then threw the new heavy object towards Jiang Yunu.
Jiang Yunu used his speed and high mobility to dodge the second and third throws.
When the throw entered the fourth round, Jiang Yunu keenly noticed that the opponent's attack pattern had changed.
The supernatural creature is surrounded by a rich visible energy ball, which is a "visible weapon" comparable to the previous spear hidden weapon.
Not only did the giant creature rush towards Jiang Yunu, but the energy ball around it also expanded to the same width as the passage, blocking Jiang Yunu's escape route.
Jiang Yunu only raised his eyebrows.
Green supernatural power suddenly erupted around her, covering her in a membrane-like manner - she used the same trick she had used in the Challenge Cup school competition.
The supernatural power that swept forward was like a highly stretchable green film, encompassing everything in front of it.
The blue water-based supernatural power and the heavy objects created by the supernatural power collided in the film, stretching the seemingly thin energy membrane to almost transparent, and the imprint of the object was completely engraved on the film.
But it just can't be broken through.
Jiang Yunu trapped this tremendous energy. Countless tiny tentacles emerged from the green energy membrane. They penetrated into every pore of the blue tremendous energy and began to devour it.
The mutant with mutated arms roared and rushed over. The opponent finally gave up using his supernatural skills and decided to directly use his mutant-enhanced □□ to launch a collision.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew past Jiang Yunu from behind.
Shen Yijing stepped forward quickly, and his slender and tight thighs suddenly exerted force, directly stepping onto the wall of the side passage. He walked along the wall, bypassing the energy ball blocking the passage, and then jumped down from the wall, slashing in the air with a black knife!
The double-armed mutant uttered a whine, swayed a few times, and then fell down.
Jiang Yunu had also "swallowed" all the tremendous energy.
"We really work together perfectly." She praised Shen Yijing and herself.
The corners of Shen Yijing's mouth tilted upwards slightly, then quickly straightened out - this was not because Captain Shen was a person who was used to being aloof, but because he had made a new and important discovery.
"I don't think something is right," Shen Yijing said. "I feel like this mutant is just an appetizer placed here on purpose."
Even though the gate they came in through was a remote exit that only allowed exit but no entry, they were already fighting fiercely in the passage, making quite a noise. The passage was also one of the best sound transmission structures, so the sounds of the battle must have been transmitted far away... but it still did not trigger any early warning devices.
No alarm, no enemy reinforcements.
No one questioned or held them accountable for their intrusion.
"If everything goes too smoothly, there must be a trap." Jiang Yunu agreed with Shen Yijing's point of view. She lowered her head to look at the mutant lying on the ground, and her eyes swept across the other party's camp maintenance worker uniform.
No matter what lies ahead, both of them must keep moving forward.
Just as they were about to bypass the mutant who had fallen to the ground and become a roadblock, Shen Yijing's steps paused beside the other party's body.
Captain Shen: “Hmm.”
Jiang Yunu immediately asked, "What's the matter?"
Shen Yijing frowned, and he looked down at the mutant on the ground again.
Jiang Yunu didn't notice anything abnormal about the other party just now. She hadn't seen this person in the camp since the camp fell. This was the first time they met after the outbreak of the alienation tide.
But Shen Yijing said: “I have seen this person before.”
Jiang Yunu subconsciously thought of the period before the alienation tide broke out.
"You said hello to him when everything was still normal at the camp?" she asked.
"No." Shen Yijing was silent for two seconds before giving a one-word negative answer.
Shen Yijing raised his head, his gaze lingering on the face of the alien, confirming it several times before he raised his head and told Jiang Yunu confidently, "I saw this person after the camp fell. He appeared on the path near the gathering center... and he had already been alienated."
These two simple sentences reveal a ton of information.
Jiang Yunu blinked once, and then blinked again.
"...You mean," she said slowly, "someone has collected the mutants that we've already encountered and defeated in the camp and put them back here for recycling?"
