Returning from the abyss

Chapter 511 Regulation
After an hour's march, Lu Ning's team had reached the fourth underground floor.In the state of high alert, although they encountered several attacks, they were all solved without any risk.Yanghao obtained a lot of specimens, but overall, the biological judgments of these attacks were all around D level, that is, aggressiveness.

The security level classification used by the Canglong Alliance is a five-level distinction that is easy to understand. E-level security, D-level offensive, C-level warning, B-level sabotage, A-level supernatural.This division method is applicable to a variety of hazard assessment situations, and also provides a scale for soldiers to explore.There is nothing wrong with the judgment of the sheep, but the corpse pasted on the wall before always makes people feel a little uneasy.

"stop."

After arriving at the central rest area on the fourth floor, everyone checked for safety, and Lu Ning stopped the team.

"What's wrong, Captain?" Spades asked.

"Rest." Lu Ning said.

"Now? The central control room is on the ninth floor underground. We still have a long way to go?" Spider Silk was also a little surprised.

"But it's impossible to keep one's full attention for a long time. It's easy to lose your mind when you're in a state of long-term tension. Let's relax a little bit. This is also a good place." Lu Ning looked around. No damage was done to the interior of the outpost, and the rest area is well preserved.

"We can also get some information from here." Longmai squatted down in front of a seat, "The skeleton of the outpost is a fast building material used when the template is applied, but the main body and interior furnishings must be obtained locally on the planet. We can’t scratch the walls, so we can always study the composition of these furnishings.”

"It's up to you." Lu Ning knew the nature of the researcher, Longmai, and would not limit it.In the same way, Yanghao also found a corner to sit down and began to conduct sample research with the portable instrument on his body.

"So, what's the status of the action so far? How about adaptability?" Lu Ning and the rest of the people sat in a circle and started chatting.

"At least it's much easier than the previous task." Qiu Shu smiled a little, "Although they are all killing, but killing human beings who are exactly like myself is different from killing some unknown monsters. As long as you want to be selfish, you can It’s not that much of a mental burden.”

"Ah... I'm a little disappointed, at least I want to meet a C-rank." Recorder interrupted again, "These guys are actually no different from other alien monsters, but they will be a little caught off guard when they first meet them. It’s as simple as a hunter shooting a sika deer drinking water.”

"Scary woman." Worm Bait muttered, "Anyway, I'm not in charge of fighting, I'm only in charge of treating you. Of course, you can also configure some targeted poisons...if you want."

"There will be a need." Lu Ning said.

The insect bait was stunned for a moment, and then there was some ecstasy in his tone: "Captain, you mean..."

"Under this environment, it is necessary for us to maximize everyone's strengths. Since you are good at preparing poison, then study it carefully. I don't want that kind of slow stuff. The more lethal the better."

"Okay Captain! I guarantee that these monsters won't survive five seconds after the medicine is formulated!"

"This kid..." Tie Mei patted the shoulder of the insect bait, "Forget it, this is probably why people like us form a team. To subdue monsters, you have to be more ruthless than monsters."

"Your skills are good." Spade said suddenly, "Could it be that the gangs in the fringe areas specially hire people to teach martial arts? This is not a way for gangsters to fight on the street."

"It's true that most people don't know how to do it, but if you want to get ahead in the gang, you have to have both force and brains. Besides, the mission that sent me in at the end was an assassination mission. Those who can do this kind of thing need not only the confidant but also the skill requirements. " Tie Mei nodded, "But I'm sorry I can't tell you the specifics."

"Huh?" Spade's voice rose a little.

"Among us, perhaps you have the richest experience with Clarinet." Lu Ning said, "Everyone chooses their own code name, but your code name is from the time of mercenaries, and the name is actually the same. There are some."

"Captain, you haven't read my profile before, have you?"

"Don't worry, I'm the Army, and I'm generally not related to the mission of people like you who are floating in the universe. You should ask Qiu Shu if he has ever led the mission to conquer you."

Spade smiled: "Don't ask, we are teammates now. In fact, I have been a lot of people. I was a looter at first, that is, the kind of person who digs battlefields, digs ruins, and resells equipment everywhere. At that time, I His intuition is very accurate, and he can find good things every time he digs, so he has the nickname shovel.”

"Then you kid might be really lucky. After all, I haven't caught you for so long, and I'm still waiting for you to surrender." Yang Hao suddenly spoke in the channel.

"That's right! Of course, later I became a mercenary, and the nickname of shovel seemed a bit earthy. Then I thought, in poker, the biggest suit other than king is spades? Then Call it Spade, how majestic!"

"Isn't this still a shovel..." Bayonet muttered in a low voice, but only Lu Ning heard it clearly.

"You are still unambitious and don't want to be king." Tie Mei said.

"I've been around for so many years. I should know that if I don't really sit in that position, I should give myself less unrealistic and stupid nicknames." After Spade finished speaking, he immediately asked, "Since I I’ve already told you about the origin of my code name... Would you like to share it too? After everyone is familiar with each other, we will have a better understanding when we fight together.”

"The recorder...is a relic."

Before Lu Ning could open his mouth to interrupt and prepare to go, the clarinet spoke first.

"My father had a clarinet when he was a child. Every summer night, I could hear him playing the flute in the yard. He knew a lot of tunes."

It's not a happy story to hear.

"Later two men in military uniforms came to the house. They talked with my father in the house. The next day my father packed up his things and left the house, leaving me in the care of my uncle's house."

"Where's your mother?" Tie Mei asked.

"What mother?" Clarinet wondered.

"..."

"I don't know what it is. No one told me. Two years later, my uncle handed me a bloody clarinet and a letter, telling me that my father is gone. If I want to know his last condition, there is An opportunity. But I found the army with that letter, served as a soldier, and didn't know until I retired..."

Clarinet didn't have any sad feelings when describing these things, but with an empty and erratic tone, and the rest of them also sounded a little uncomfortable.

Lu Ning knew something more about this.Clarinet's father should be a spy trained by the Canglong Alliance. This type of spy usually lives incognito in an inconspicuous place. Even if they disappear suddenly, no one cares.But whether Clarinet's father is dead or alive, Lu Ning can't judge, because in order to ensure that the identity of the spy is not exposed, the Alliance will really confirm the death information and create a bunch of false information.She just didn't think that if the spy who went deep into the hinterland died, he could ask someone to send a clarinet back across the galaxy, and it was only two years?incredible.

"Okay, there will be opportunities to tell stories in the future, and now we can relax enough, let's continue." Lu Ning stood up, "No matter what kind of story it is, it will not affect our current situation, adjust your emotions."

"Yes." Everyone immediately agreed.

Going a short distance from the rest area, you can immediately see the stairs going down to the next floor.However, this place was also blocked. Tie Mei followed the same pattern and cut open the door. Everyone swept over with various investigative tools to make sure there was nothing hidden behind, and then began to go downstairs.

"Captain, I found something." It was Spade's report again.

"Say."

"I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing... There are many corpses here, but the corpses are all intact. I believe we can dig out some clues from it."

"That's a good thing, go downstairs."

"...Captain, are all the alliance troops so cold-blooded? Why do I feel like I have lost confidence in the alliance army?"

"We had planned for the worst of everything, and it was unexpected that they could leave us some clues before they died. Individuals will use emotions to give things a good expectation, but organizations will only be cold-hearted about all situations. countermeasures." Lu Ning liked the role she was playing more and more.

"Okay, okay. I'll take a look... Hold on!"

As the voice of spades suddenly rose, there was a fierce gunshot below, and even the sound of a grenade exploding. Lu Ning immediately waved her hand, turned over and slid down the handrail of the stairs, and pulled out the strong flash on her back in midair. Gun, turn off all the optical capture functions of the helmet, and shoot as soon as it hits the ground!
The blazing white light dazzled everyone except Lu Ning for an instant, but that was only an instant.Lu Ning is very aware of the Canglong Alliance's ability to identify its own weapons. All helmets will automatically stop optical capture after about half a second after the flash gun's flash erupts, so it is even less than a second for all teammates to be blind, and the filtering system will also ensure that they Will not really be shaken blind.

On the contrary, if the creatures living in the dark environment have vision, then this shot is enough to blind them all!
It was followed by the second shocking shot. The narrow passage provided the best conditions for this kind of ammunition to play. The acoustic detection was turned off, and the shock cancellation module was turned on. This time Lu Ning really felt a certain "feel" on the battlefield. Hit the enemy's "feel".

She quickly restarted the optical detection, and immediately saw that in addition to spades and bayonets holding weapons and taking alternate cover shots and retreating, there were more than a dozen quadruped creatures with two heads in front of her. Lu Ning's just now Two rounds of fire stopped them, and they were all shaking their heads now.

"Drone cover."

Qiu Shu's calm voice came from the internal channel, and then three bright light spots could be seen flying overhead, and after passing the spades and bayonets, two laser beams that were constantly opening and closing were launched at the bottom, with a frequency of about every Cutting twice a second, all four-legged creatures are cut by the laser, and all life activities stop instantly.

"Deputy team, isn't your body chopped up?" Spider Silk sighed.

"There are too many hostile targets. If you don't kill them in a large area while the captain is in control, it will easily cause the scene to go out of control." Qiu Shu replied, "I believe the captain can understand my judgment."

"Yes, this is already the safest means of annihilation." Lu Ning looked at the spades and bayonets that had ceased fire in front, and asked, "What happened?"

"These things came out of dead bodies," Spades said.

"From the corpse? A parasitic creature?" Spider Silk asked.

"No, it's not the way of breaking out of the body. How to put it...it's more like the soul coming out of the body. The corpses are not damaged, they emerge from the corpses, and then become real. I started to see this The gun is off, the bayonet is very smart, and I fired alternately, otherwise I might not be able to suppress you to support."

"The soul is out of the body? But..." the brush that had already walked over weighed a piece of debris that he picked up in his hand, "This thing is a substance, is there any difference between the rules of matter on this planet and what we know? "

"I don't know about this." Spades shook his head, "It's very weird anyway."

Zhusi, Longmai and others also walked over. In fact, Lu Ning can also conduct a certain degree of monitoring by herself, but now she feels that she can better ensure the safety of the team by keeping watch.

Discussions started quickly there.

"There is no blood inside the corpse. Although the surface layer of the corpse is waxed, the original internal structure should still be intact... The internal organs are also somewhat abnormal. From the cross-section, many organs are seriously missing, and honeycombs appear in the liver and spleen. loss of shape, maybe this is another kind of parasitism." Spider Silk said.

"Then how do they come out? Sublimate themselves first, then come out and sublime again?" Yang Hao snorted, "If cells are so easy to reconfigure, biology will not be so difficult to advance."

"But it should be certain that they were born from the inside of these corpses. Have you noticed the situation in the brain? It has almost completely become a mess."

"There are only a few nerve cells left to connect...it looks really disgusting." Spider Silk glanced at it, "These corpses are all hollowed out."

"It seems that their diet is more biased towards the brain, as well as liver and spleen. It seems that there is nothing wrong with the lungs and stomach." The insect bait also started to participate, "I said, you guys Just thinking that it is impossible for such a large creature to get out of it, but what if it is a group of small creatures put together?"

"Oh?" Yang Hao immediately lifted up the fragment in his hand, adjusted his helmet, and a microscope tube protruded from the side of his helmet, aiming at the fragment.

After a moment, he dropped the shard.

"Boy, you are right."

"It seems that the discussion has come to a conclusion." Lu Ning said.

"This kind of creature seems to survive in two forms. It disperses into countless small insects inside the corpse. Once disturbed, it will drill out of the corpse and then assemble into a huge creature out of thin air. Only in this way, those insects The independence of itself is gone, and these creatures are dead." Yang Hao explained.
