Chapter 326 Hidden Dangers Underground

With this first experience, Lin Qi no longer needs to direct the next hunting mission.

But after choosing an area, it still needs powerful Source Project warriors to explore it first and eliminate the seventh-level mutant beasts.

As for the others, they started to clean up the hidden dangers around the safety zone.

Since the discovery of the mutant rat, the mechanical life form controlled by Azure has launched an in-depth investigation into the underground.

Under the influence of radiation, most of the mutated organisms and bugs on the ground have experienced alienation. Some have moved to other places to avoid the disaster of radiation. Some of them cannot bear it and their genes collapse and die. The remaining ones find ways to get in. Going underground, while avoiding this crisis, his body is also undergoing changes.

Those underground creatures have a better chance of survival than those on the ground, especially mutant rats, which have strong adaptability.

Lin Qi formed an elite team and entered the entrance to an underground space through the location where the mutant rat was last found.

The cave that originally collapsed has been opened by robots, and part of the area has been explored, but if you continue to go deeper, you will encounter attacks from mutant creatures.

Although these robots have some strength, they still cannot compare with the mutated creatures after alienation.

"This is it. Further ahead is the nest of mutant creatures."

A soldier in front remained vigilant and took out a small instrument and placed it on the ground.

As a wave of waves passed, the detailed structure of the underground cave suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

And the densely packed small red dots represent those hidden mutant creatures.

"The first team came forward to investigate."

The command this time is Yan Ming. After a long period of power integration, Yan Ming's family's status in the safe zone has become lower and lower, but no one dares to despise him.

After all, the first family to take sides was the Yan family. They were also one of the leaders in establishing the Central Plains Security Zone and had a group of loyal family members under them.

Yan Ming lived up to expectations, used his own expertise, and took over the management of the outer city of the safe zone.

He commanded the elite combat team and slowly went deeper into the cave, with Lin Qi and several researchers behind him.

"When they capture the mutant creature, you can study it on the spot. If it has value, deal with it slowly. If not, destroy the place directly."

There is no way to kill all the mutated creatures dormant underground. It is impossible to bomb all the underground areas, but you can choose a large number of areas to clear out large-scale mutated creatures.

As for the rest, there is nothing to worry about.

The scientific researchers at the rear quickly set up research equipment and were ready at any time.

Not long after, several people quickly returned, dragging the remains of some mutated creatures in their hands.

"It's such a mess. It's like a nest of snakes and rats. There are many kinds of mutant beasts in the cave, and there are a lot of rotting corpses. Almost all of them went underground to take refuge!"

There was a strong stench on the two warriors, and they seemed to be stained with some black mucus. Looking carefully, there was a fat white insect lying on the armor.

"Isn't the corpse inside already fermented?"

Lin Qi was wearing a face mask. Although he couldn't smell the stench, the super armor had already given a hint. After analyzing the smell, it turned out to contain nerve-paralyzing toxins.

"It's not just fermentation, it's become a breeding ground for bugs, and it will burst into pulp when touched."

The two described the scene as disgusting and disgusting. After putting their things down, they said they didn't want to go in again.

Fortunately, the detection speed was very fast. When Lin Qi saw the analyzed results, he waved his hand helplessly.

"Let Yan Ming and the others come back. These mutated beasts are not worth taking back and using them. Get some energy bombs and blow them up."

According to the information analyzed by the data, these mutated beasts contain a large amount of radiation, and there are also mutated viruses that cannot be eaten even if they have been processed.

Moreover, the mutated beasts hiding underground are of average level, and the materials are not worth obtaining.

The first team was relieved after receiving the news, and quickly evacuated from the cave. It was just a simple battle, and several people were exhausted physically and mentally.

Several energy bombs were thrown into it, and after starting the countdown, everyone quickly evacuated to the ground.

"Next time something like this happens again, I will definitely not participate. I would rather fight with a seventh-level mutant beast!"

Yan Ming asked a Source Project soldier who controlled water to help clean the black mucus on the armor, and his disgusting voice changed.

When the countdown ended, the ground suddenly shook violently several times, and some places even collapsed into deep pits.

The cathartic energy could not be diffused, and spewed out from a crack in the distance, bringing out a lot of mutated beast corpses and black sewage.

A strong stench spread out, and even formed into a black smoke, quickly approaching everyone.

"withdraw!"

Seeing this situation, Lin Qi immediately ordered a retreat. There was no need for everyone to encounter such a disgusting situation.

After the team quickly moved away, they retreated across the sky on a battleship, avoiding the center of the smoke.

In the battleship, several people in important positions gathered together to discuss the next action.

On a rare trip, it was impossible to destroy just one mutant beast's lair. All hidden dangers within a radius of a hundred miles must be cleared away.

Otherwise, when the radiation cloud completely dissipates, these mutant beasts will emerge from the ground, which will definitely pose a threat to the safe zone, and they will definitely be caught off guard.

"Use sound waves to vibrate and detect changes in the ground veins. After finding them, directly drop energy bombs to destroy them."

After all, making this decision will consume a large number of energy bombs, which are very scarce resources in the safe zone.

If you want energy bombs with enough power, you must use gene crystals of level 5 or above, and now level 5 gene crystals are the main consumables used by top awakeners.

However, for the environment around the safe zone, you must make a choice.

The warship flew slowly at a low altitude, and the sound wave scan continued to spread, recording the environment deep underground.

Then the locations of the caves were marked one by one, and there were even connections between several of them.

"This place is a bit special. Why is there such a large space underground?"

Although most of the mutant beasts hid underground because there was nowhere to go, the surrounding area of ​​the safe zone had been carefully explored, especially underground, where there was no such a large space.

Perhaps it was the previous beast tide that caused those mutant beasts with digging ability to escape underground, thus opening up a large area.

The sound wave scan continued, constructing the complete terrain of that space.

Out of curiosity, Lin Qi and a few others flew out of the warship and landed on the ruins.

As soon as they landed, they felt the ruins covered by a layer of dust tremble slightly, and then the ground began to crawl wildly. (End of this chapter)
