Rumble!
Rumble!
The unique sound of the hydraulic machine announced the arrival of a new day in Blackstone Town.
Large clouds of steam spewed out from the exhaust. The huge gears slowly rotated, and the heavy metal gate slowly rose. The sealed gate of Blackstone Town slowly opened.
The old trucks and motorcycles were the first to rush into the wilderness. They were all Situ and Xu Kui's direct subordinates. The rumbling of the motorcycles quickly disappeared into the distance, followed by the Wilderness Hunters who were ready to leave one after another.
Most of the Wilderness Hunters hunted alone. In the wilderness, humans were sometimes more dangerous than Zergs.
Qi Yuan packed his luggage and stepped into the wilderness alone again.
The powerful digging ability of the black-toothed rats gave Qi Yuan a strange idea. Since the black-toothed rats could dig directly into the mine, could they also dig into Situ's basement?
Usually, there would be no one in a hidden place like the basement. As long as the black-toothed rats could dig into the basement, signing in would naturally not be a problem.
With this idea in mind, Qi Yuan began to look for the black-toothed rats in the wilderness.
In the surroundings of Blackstone Town, the most common insect beasts were Black-toothed Rats. There were caves dug by Black-toothed Rats everywhere. Qi Yuan did not spend much effort before he found a trembling Black-toothed Rat in one of the caves.
"You're the one!"
Qi Yuan chuckled as he pinned the black-toothed rat to the ground and gave it a good beating. After tasting a bout of unscrupulous love, the black-toothed rat's large eyes shed tears of humiliation.
The fastest way to dig into Situ's basement was naturally to find a spot in Blackstone Town. However, if he really did that, he would be treating Situ as a fool.
Outside Blackstone Town, in a narrow cave, the black-toothed rats began to dig in the direction Qi Yuan pointed out.
The digging spot was more than two kilometers away from Blackstone Town. It would take at least six hours to dig to the bottom of Blackstone Town. However, Qi Yuan was not in a hurry. He was very patient in this kind of thing.
Compared to risking one's life, patience was clearly a virtue at this moment.
Qi Yuan followed behind the black-toothed rats. After silently supervising them for seven hours, they finally met the first obstacle.
An iron wall that was deeply embedded in the ground blocked the path of the black-toothed rats.
Qi Yuan stretched out his hand and pressed on the solid iron wall. Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face.
Finally, they reached the bottom of Blackstone Town!
This iron wall was the underground wall of Blackstone Town. Naturally, it was used to deal with Black-Toothed Rats, which liked to dig holes.
"Dig downwards! We will definitely be able to dig through!"
Qi Yuan's eyes shone as he stared at the bottom of the iron wall. A small town like Blackstone Town was one of the most common gathering points in the wilderness. This kind of underground iron wall that required a large amount of steel definitely wouldn't be buried too deep.
The black-toothed rat was angry, but it did not dare to say anything as it continued to dig downwards silently. After digging downwards for nearly ten meters, the iron wall in front of it had indeed disappeared.
"Dig in this direction!"
Qi Yuan controlled the black-toothed rat and dug toward the checkpoint in his consciousness. As he got closer and closer, he seemed to see the third extraordinary talent waving at him.
When they were less than a hundred meters away from the checkpoint, the soil dug by the black-toothed rat suddenly collapsed. An underground cave appeared in front of Qi Yuan's eyes.
Qi Yuan's pupils shrunk. After carefully observing for a while, he was shocked to find that the cave that suddenly appeared in front of him seemed to be the work of the black-toothed rat.
"Is this a cave dug by other black-toothed rats?"
Although the underground iron wall of Blackstone Town could be bypassed by digging downwards, the deeper one went, the harder it would be to dig. Without the intervention of external factors, the black-toothed rats would not dig so deep.
Unless …
Qi Yuan's expression became serious. If there were other people hiding underground, it would definitely not be good news for him.
The checkpoint was right in front of him. Qi Yuan was not willing to leave just like that. He decided to take a gamble!
The iron defense combined with the Annihilation Warhead had a certain margin of error whether it was offense or defense. Even if he encountered a rank 2 Zerg, there was still a chance for him to fight.
Qi Yuan took out a silver-gray flashlight and tried to shine it into the darkness a few times. The flashlight's light was abnormally bright in the darkness. If there was a dark Zerg hiding there, there would definitely be movement.
He did not find any abnormalities!
After waiting for a while, Qi Yuan finally drove the black-toothed rat into the underground cave in front of him.
The cave was a little higher than the normal black-toothed rat's cave. He could go in by bending his back.
The more he went in, the more frightened Qi Yuan became. This underground cave extended in all directions, and there was more than one level. It was like an underground maze, almost hollowing out the entire underground of Blackstone Town.
The cave was empty, and there seemed to be no traces of other creatures. However, this did not mean that it was safe.
The more he went in, the more uneasy Qi Yuan felt. It was as if there was a pair of invisible eyes hidden in the darkness, staring at him from behind.
Following the layers of underground caves, Qi Yuan slowly approached the checkpoint. When he was less than ten meters away, he was blocked by a metal wall.
Situ's underground secret room was actually made with a full metal defense!
The greenish-black metal wall reflected a cold light under the torchlight. There was not a single trace of rust on it. Qi Yuan pressed down hard and felt the thickness of the metal wall. Finally, he announced the failure of the underground infiltration plan.
With the thickness of the metal wall, unless he used machinery, it would be impossible to shake it. There was no flaw in the defense of Situ's underground secret room.
After going in several directions and being blocked by the golden wall, Qi Yuan was finally sure that this was an underground secret room that was completely sealed with metal walls.
Impregnable … This phrase appeared in Qi Yuan's mind. His originally excited mood from approaching the checkpoint quickly calmed down.
This place is very dangerous. I have to leave quickly!
His sense of danger became clearer and clearer. Qi Yuan faintly felt a trace of coldness penetrating his body.
There must be another entrance to this underground cave. It was best to leave quickly before he alerted the beings hidden in the depths of the cave!
He turned around and quickly returned along the original path. The empty underground maze was filled with a strange aura. He did not encounter any danger until he returned to the cave dug by the black-toothed rats.
Qi Yuan let out a slight sigh of relief. Following the cave dug by the black-toothed rats, he quickly left the vicinity of Blackstone Town and drilled into the underground cave.
Not long after Qi Yuan left, the entrance of the cave dug by the black-toothed rats into the underground maze suddenly wriggled. A concave and convex human face, like a clay sculpture, appeared. It looked deeply in the direction Qi Yuan left, and then slowly sank into the soil.
The soil of the underground maze seemed to have a life of its own as it wriggled on its own. The cave dug by the black-toothed rats began to close at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon, the connection with the underground maze was completely cut off.
