Beneath Deep Space

Chapter 241 Insect Tide

Yu Yifeng has always been depressed.

Since he landed under this cave, this depression has intensified, like a volcano about to erupt!

He shook his head gently in secret, forcibly suppressing this uneasy emotion.

Everyone gave him the right to choose survival. Well, I'm used to it. It's no big deal. At least everyone obeys the discipline and saves a lot of trouble.

Now people have walked for a total of half an hour, and the cave has become obviously narrower, and there are some large and small forks, which make it difficult to make a decision.

And if they go further, because the cave is too narrow, large tracked vehicles are already difficult to pass, and they must be abandoned! This is a lot of survival supplies. No matter how strong the load capacity of the power armor is, it can't be compared with the car.

But this place is too close to the spacecraft, and it is still a very dangerous distance. If the engine really explodes, this area will definitely be affected.

At that time... even if they are not blown to death, they will be buried alive!

Yu Yifeng is exchanging opinions with several geological experts, trying to figure out which is the real exit to the surface. If you walk around randomly and get lost in this intricate maze, it will be even more troublesome...

"According to the experience on Earth, it is nothing more than feeling the direction of the wind and then finding the real exit. Or find the water source and walk up along the water source..."

"But this cave is too big. The imbalance of heat energy distribution will generate airflow between caves, so the plan on Earth is not feasible at all..." said a geologist worriedly.

Some other geographers and biologists are still shouting and madly discussing how this cave was formed.

Yu Yifeng didn't pay much attention to their discussion. As long as this group of people didn't leave the team without permission, he wouldn't bother.

They are scientists, always full of curiosity and desire to explore. It is for this reason that they insist on coming to Nix Star for investigation.

But usually because of the existence of public security regulations, they are not allowed to explore the cave. Now, people are forced to fall into the cave and see so many strange creatures and weird geological features. How can they not be excited?

In other words, their ideas are a little different from ordinary people. They are all a bit of a science fanatic. Just like Archimedes in ancient Greece, who wanted to do scientific research even after his death...

If they could choose between "solving the ultimate theorem of the universe" and "eternal life", many people would probably choose "solving the ultimate theorem of the universe"!

However, these scientists are very enthusiastic, but their bodies are still very honest.

The "ultimate theorem of the universe" has not been solved yet, and they still have to keep their lives. In such a dark place, following the group is the smartest choice. No one wants to get lost in the cave alone.

In addition, there are soldiers interspersed among the team, so there is no trouble during this period.

During this pause, someone couldn't help but come up and report that he wanted to capture some insect specimens for future research. This underground adventure is hard-won. It is estimated that after finding the exit, the exploration will be shelved for a long time...

They also made a fuss, saying that "the discovery of these geothermal energy organisms can help improve human energy utilization" and so on...

It's very important! Because of the existence of Yu Yifeng, the backbone, and so many soldiers with live ammunition, this group of people did not have much pressure to survive, and they said whatever they thought of.

Hearing the question raised by the scientists, Yu Yifeng shook his head and refused without much thought. He felt very uneasy in his heart. How could he let them act on their own!

But these scientists kept begging, so Yu Yifeng had to agree reluctantly, and sent a few soldiers to follow behind, letting them move in a small area and not leave the sight of the main force!

Several scientists left happily...

Yu Yifeng looked at their figures and sighed. He was worried now!

The several roads that appeared now were too narrow, and there was no way to pass large tracked vehicles. Could these vehicles be abandoned? Abandoning them would be equivalent to abandoning a lot of survival supplies!

"... Let's make the final supplies here. Those who need to rest and eat should hurry up. We will set off in half a quarter of an hour! These cars will be abandoned here!"

He finally made up his mind and found a flat ground to sit down.

He put a can of food into a groove in the power armor, and then closed the metal cover on the surface.

With a "hiss", the high-temperature steam ejected from the inside of the power armor will disinfect the surface of the iron can.

A few minutes later, a straw popped out from the inside of the helmet. He sucked hard, and the jelly-like liquid food was sucked out. It was hot and a little sweet, but not very delicious.

Who can ask for so much at this time? This canned food can effectively replenish the water and nutrients needed by the human body, and there is no need to take off the helmet.

Yu Yifeng sat on the ground and saw several scientists happily collecting specimens, and his heart beat wildly.

This inexplicable sense of uneasiness appeared again, and it was getting closer and closer, as if it was right in front of him!

He didn't know what this feeling was. After thinking for a long time without any results, he could only attribute it to the cave itself. He gulped down the whole cup of jelly and threw the metal can that popped out again directly on the ground.

"Okay, we..."

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a buzzing sound, getting louder and louder and getting closer...

"careful!"

Immediately afterwards, several soldiers seemed to have discovered something and began to fire at the entrance of the cave in panic, pulling the scientists and running back crazily.

With a "buzz" sound, a black shadow like a small tornado suddenly emerged from the hole!

In just an instant, the people at the front were swept in!

In front of everyone's sight, several people seemed to be wrapped in something and turned directly into a ball of black. People were twisting and twitching wildly inside, trying to get rid of these black shadows. Everyone took a few steps back in shock, as if stunned.

The sense of danger in Yu Yifeng's heart had reached its limit. He jumped up from the ground and finally saw clearly what this black thing was.

A swarm of... black bugs like locusts!

They were no bigger than a human's little finger, but they were extremely ferocious, and the surface of the power armor actually made a tinkling sound.

Don't think that bugs have no attack power. Yu Yifeng even heard the "sizzling" sound of something dissolving!

Although he was wearing a helmet and couldn't smell the smell, it was obvious that a corrosive gas began to spread in the air, and even a faint smoke appeared on the surface!

These acids are so strong that just some gas can corrode the stone, not to mention the metal attached to the surface!

"not good!"

Yu Yifeng screamed in his heart, he didn't know if human super alloy could resist such inexplicable bugs! The most important thing is that power armor also has some weaknesses, especially the joints and other related connection parts!

He immediately shouted loudly: "Everyone hide in the car, hide in the car!"

"Zhao Yao, incendiary bombs! Use incendiary bombs quickly!"

Although he had a gun in his hand, he did not shoot. This kind of high-performance machine gun is of little use against a large number of insects. The best way is to use incendiary bombs.

At this time, there was no way to think too much. These soldiers just followed the orders in a panic. With a bang, several incendiary bombs were thrown next to the big black cocoon.

Just for a moment, blazing tongues of fire splashed out!

Suddenly a large number of insects burned, and at the same time, the burning of these insects also exploded a larger amount of acidic liquid.

A few Pyro struggled to get up, but a few were still lying on the ground struggling, as if their power armor was damaged and couldn't get up...

Yu Yifeng was very worried. He would never abandon these people like this.

He rushed out suddenly and yelled crazily to the back: "Flame gun, quick! Breath fire!"
