Extraterrestrial parasite
Chapter 475: The Eve of Crisis (2)
Destroying the two stone bridges and the ten-meter-long tunnel will inevitably cause a considerable degree of vibration, forcing the maintenance team in the distance to stop their work and stare into the depths of the tunnel in panic, wondering if it is a precursor to an earthquake. .
Just when someone was about to ask if they should evacuate first, Chen Yang's figure slowly appeared from the depths of the dark and deep tunnel.
"Everyone continues to work."
His tone was calm and calm, without any hint of panic.
The maintenance personnel present did not know the specific identity of Chen Yang, but since even Ryan, the person in charge of the base, respected the senior management from the company headquarters in front of them, they naturally had to follow orders.
Under Chen Yang's order, the repairs continued. In fact, the cable repairs were not too difficult. The main thing was that it took a while to reinstall the monitoring and arrange the X-335 in the deeper tunnel.
However, half an hour later, all the work was basically over, and a dozen members of the maintenance team immediately took the elevator to evacuate the scene.
With the evacuation of all personnel, the tunnel returned to a dark and gloomy environment. Only dozens of surveillance cameras placed everywhere were still flashing red lights, monitoring the tunnel 24 hours a day.
…
The Antarctic night is still the same as the day, and there is almost no big change in the brightness. If the violent storm and snow outside block the view, everything will be perfect.
At around eleven o'clock in the evening, most people in the base had already fallen asleep, except for a small number of personnel on duty who could not rest. A considerable area of the base's automatic sensor lights have fallen into a dormant state. From the outside, the entire base is like a giant beast lurking in a blizzard, silent, silent, dormant...
Chen Yang, who didn't take off his clothes and coat, just closed his eyes and took a short rest, was awakened by the sound of a video communication request on the table.
"What's wrong?"
On the other side of the video is Zenobia's uneasy look.
"Boss, there seems to be something moving down there."
"Motion? Turn the surveillance camera over."
The surveillance camera was turned around, and what appeared in front of Chen Yang was the familiar stone-walled tunnel underground.
No wonder Zenobia said there was movement. Without mentioning the specific reason, it was that the entire tunnel being monitored was shaking, as if an earthquake had occurred, which caused the monitoring PTZ to tremble, causing the monitoring screen to tremble accordingly.
earthquake?
No, how can there be such a coincidence that there will be an earthquake... Besides, if there is an earthquake, there is no reason why the ground cannot feel it.
So what is the reason for this phenomenon to happen...
Chen Yang's face turned pale. I really don’t want to think in that bad direction.
But escaping is not an option. After being silent for a while, Chen Yang slowly asked: "How long has this situation been going on?"
"After discovering the abnormality, I will report to you immediately. It should not take more than half a minute."
"Half a minute... then wait and let everyone get ready."
"yes."
Looking at the surveillance screen quietly, especially the surveillance in the tunnel on the far right, it is obviously the most important place.
What's even more disturbing is the shaky surveillance footage of this place. It is obviously much stronger than other places, which is not a good sign.
"Eh, not good!"
Chen Yang's expression changed dramatically. Under the real-time surveillance screen, the area where the tunnel on the right was blocked and collapsed suddenly began to shake. As the rocks cracked, greasy tentacles suddenly shot out from the cracked rocks. Waving in the air.
"How can it be……"
Chen Yang felt a little incredible. How did these unknown creatures discover the collapsed tunnel?
No. It should be said that the intelligence of these unknown creatures far exceeded Chen Yang's expectations. Is that why we can easily find the traces of the collapsed tunnel?
This is going to be troublesome.
If the endless numbers only made Chen Yang feel discolored, then the unknown creatures with considerable intelligence only deepened their threat.
"Boss, they're out..."
Without Chen Yang’s instructions again, Zenobia’s image appeared on the screen again, and her tone of voice could clearly feel a hint of nervousness. It was obvious that humans, no matter how calm they usually are, are still humans after all, and suddenly saw such a terrifying and strange creature. , everyone will feel nervous and uneasy.
"Blow up the first stage of the passage immediately."
Chen Yang calmed down and gave the first order.
"yes."
Seeing that Chen Yang was still calm as usual, Zenobia's nervousness could not help but ease a lot. She took a deep breath and quickly followed the order to activate the X-335 arranged in the first stage passage.
At this time, you can see the advantage of deploying explosives immediately.
After pressing the button and inputting the command, the greasy tentacles squeezed out of the collapsed tunnel were suddenly hit by a violent impact of flames, and the many tentacles blocked at the front were directly reduced to ashes.
The entire tunnel trembled, and the tunnel at the front collapsed neatly, blocking the forward passage again.
"boss……"
Although the effect was remarkable, Zenobia asked with some hesitation: "Why not blow up all the passages at once?"
"I want to check the time."
Chen Yang pondered: "How long will it take to dig this passage?"
"..."
"How's it going with the convoy?"
"The return flight has already started, and we expect to arrive at the gate of the base at six o'clock in the morning." Zenobia had already contacted the scientific research station before, and when Chen Yang asked, he could answer immediately.
"Is there more than six hours left?"
After pondering for a while, Chen Yang stared at the surveillance camera and asked, "Have you brought the things I asked them to bring?"
"Bring it with you. I have told you this several times. They will definitely not dare to forget it."
"...By the way, how many vehicles are left in the base?"
Zenobia was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Boss, if you need to leave now, there are two single snowmobiles left in the base..."
"No, you thought wrong."
Chen Yang shook his head: "I don't need you to worry, but you... If something goes wrong, you and Ryan can leave on a snowmobile, and be careful not to disturb other people."
"ah?"
Zenobia was shocked. She didn't expect that her boss would say such a thing. Is this considered sacrificing oneself for others?
But no matter how she thought about it, she didn't think her boss would have such noble sentiments... Although she didn't know everything about what Andres had done, she knew only a part of it, which made her not think that he had done such a noble thing. What kind of noble character will the person doing this have?
Opening her mouth with difficulty, Zenobia really didn't know what words or expressions to use to face Chen Yang's indifferent attitude.
"Okay, you go down first and pay attention to what's going on over there."
After waving his hand to close the video conversation with Zenobia, Chen Yang stood up and walked back and forth in the room.
"It's a bit troublesome..."
Whispering in a low voice, Chen Yang felt a headache.
Why did such bad luck happen to him?
No, no, no...Why are there such dangerous underground ruins under Antarctica?
What a joke, if some people had been replaced, they would all be dead underground by now... The expedition team and the rescue team are very conspicuous examples.
The question at this time is, what method should be used to stop those ghosts?
There are so many unknown creatures, and they actually have a certain amount of wisdom. Doesn't it mean that the plan to blow up the entrance and exit passages that was prepared as a precaution may not necessarily work. In that case, this unknown world comes from Unknown creatures have truly invaded the earth.
"We must get things under control."
After walking back and forth a few times with his hands behind his back, Chen Yang's deeply furrowed brows showed the injustice in his heart at this moment.
"What happened?"
The right hand suddenly woke up and immediately noticed the emotional abnormality of the host body.
"Sir Screw, we're in a bit of trouble."
With a sigh, Chen Yang called up the previous surveillance video, allowing his right hand to fully understand the situation.
"Maybe blowing up the passage won't work?"
The right hand immediately grasped the key point.
"Well, I underestimated it."
Chen Yang admitted that he underestimated the unknown creature at first, and thought that once the passage was blown up, those greasy tentacles would have difficulty finding the exit. Unexpectedly, it was a wrong method to estimate the other party's IQ based on appearance.
"If blowing up the passage cannot stop the opponent, I think even if there is no such passage, this unknown creature will probably be able to forcibly create a tunnel leading to the ground."
Chen Yang knocked on the table, "Only by finding the fourth cube and closing the light film again can the problem be fundamentally solved... It's a pity that the channels opened by the cubes cannot close each other, otherwise the matter would be easily solved."
With the other three "keys" that open the light film, if they can really communicate with each other to close and open, then things will be really simple.
Just like the door to a residence, they all look the same on the outside, but each key can only open a corresponding door.
"It's not that simple to find the fourth cube. Since the other cubes on your body did not produce any induction indication... I suspect that the fourth cube may be on the opposite side of the light film."
The right hand's words were like a light shining in the darkness, making Chen Yang suddenly realize.
"Yeah, why didn't I think of it, if the fourth cube is on the opposite side of the light film, that's why no trace was found when searching around...that's why the other cubes didn't react."
Chen Yang had vaguely had this guess in his mind before, but he didn't think about it in detail. Now that his right hand said this, this guess may be close to the truth.
What makes Chen Yang depressed is that even if he guessed the truth at this time, he still has no way to enter the light film in the face of the unknown creatures that are constantly emerging, not to mention who knows where the four cubes will be in the other world. . (To be continued ~^~)
