Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

When the strong wind passes through the narrow and long valley and hits towards the tiankeng like a tide, these spherical jungles hanging in the air will sway with the wind, like the heads of real monsters, howling and laughing.

It is hard to imagine that an isolated and helpless human town can survive for more than half a century in such a ghostly place.

And Lu Siya and the others did not find any signs of human towns.

Regardless of the roar of high-rise buildings, traffic arteries, vehicles and factories, there is nothing.

Not even dilapidated ruins.

Of course, clouds and mist gather and disperse indefinitely, and the depths of the tiankeng are covered with lush plants. It is impossible for the survey team to scan the entire tiankeng.

This is just the place where the "piranha" team left their last coordinates.

It is possible that the weird conversation heard in the communication channel was left elsewhere.

Or that human town is still deeper in the tiankeng.

If it is just mapping and providing bombing guidance for train guns and armored airships, it may be barely enough to move forward here.

But if there really is a human town deep in the tiankeng, the 24-hour carpet bombing will undoubtedly destroy this town and all its residents, which have been struggling for more than half a century.

This is a moral responsibility that is difficult for the highest authorities in Dragon City to accept.

Besides, the scope of the tiankeng is too large, and Lu Siya and the others haven't found any place that can be called "the ultimate lair of monster civilization".

Let train guns and armored airships carry out saturation bombing in such a large area, and the consumption of spar bombs will be astronomical.

The cost of war is too high, and the bombing effect may not be very good.

If these spar resources can be saved and used for human cultivation, it may be possible to cultivate more heavenly and divine realm powerhouses for Dragon City.

Or invest in the four major research institutes to develop more black technologies, which will help the next step of Dragon City civilization and colonize the new war in other worlds.

Therefore, after repeated weighing, Lu Siya and other nine teams of investigators decided to move on.

Whether it is a human town or the ultimate lair of monster civilization, at least one precise coordinate must be locked.

"I'll take the first team down first, Shao Jun, you lead the second team to respond at the edge of the tiankeng, Zhou Meng, you and the third team retreat two kilometers away, go to the commanding height we just discovered, and observe our actions from a long distance."

Lu Siya gave orders calmly, "Remember, in case we have any abnormality, I mean 'any' abnormality, the task of you and the third team is not to rescue us, let alone continue to explore, but to not hesitate Turn around and run away, trying to send out all the data collected earlier, understand?"

"But--"

The two deputy team leaders named "Shao Jun" and "Zhou Meng" are both ruthless men with fierce faces and fierce expressions.

Facing the mysterious and unpredictable tiankeng, instead of being afraid at all, they were eager to try it and wanted to take the initiative to ask for it.

However, Lu Siya flatly rejected them: "No 'but', I'm the team leader, I'll go down first, if I can't even solve it, you will give it for nothing, you should try to escape and call for artillery cover support Bar!"

After half a year of experience, the "Queen Bee" is becoming more and more capable at this moment, and her gestures are full of undeniable and irrefutable temperament.

The two deputy team leaders were stared at by her fierce eyes, and they stopped arguing and immediately carried out the order.

Lu Siya commanded the investigators to build a small camp on the edge of the sinkhole using the equipment carried by the rune machine.

A hoist driven by spar and steel cables were used to manufacture a small elevator.

Along the way, she unleashes some drones to try to get deeper into the sinkhole to get more footage up close.

But the strong wind in the tiankeng swept through, and the spiritual magnetic interference was very strong. The drone had just penetrated tens of meters, and it seemed to be caught by invisible tentacles and pulled into the depths of the mist. .

The same is true for the spider-shaped thinking chariot that was dropped next.

After slowly climbing down the tiankeng for hundreds of meters, he lost control and disappeared without a trace.

It seems that human beings have to take risks in person to detect everything with the naked eye.

"We're going down!"

For safety's sake, Lu Siya did not activate the magnetic levitation power, but took the elevator with several investigators and descended slowly.

In one shot, she also gives a thumbs up and shakes her fist at people on the edge of the sinkhole.

A gust of wind blew, and the mist gathered again, submerging Lu Siya and the investigation team, and then...

"there is none left."

Long Feijun turned off the stereoscopic image, and said, "This is the last message we received from the elite investigators of Group Nine."

There was a silence.

"How can it be?"

Meng Chao got up suddenly, and pressed his fists against the conference table, almost pressing the table into two clear big dents, "Leader Lu and the others are clearly not in any danger, and the leader Lu has also made careful arrangements, isn't it?" There is a team of people arranged at the commanding heights a few kilometers away to observe from a long distance, could it be that this team of people didn't take pictures of anything?"

"This is the problem, they are all missing, including the team leader Lu and the first team who went deep into the sinkhole; The third team, all at the same time, mysteriously disappeared.

"Leaving aside the first and second teams, the commanding heights where the third team is located were carefully selected by team leader Lu, and a large number of landmines were planted around to ensure absolute cleanliness and safety.

"It stands to reason that even if the doomsday beast suddenly appeared, it would take a certain amount of time and setbacks to kill all the horses in the three teams.

"Even if the third team is unable to resist, at least it can transmit the last message before the entire army is wiped out, so that we can see the true face of the enemy, right?

"But no, they left nothing behind at the same time before they disappeared.

"Not only the nine groups led by Team Leader Lu, but also another elite reconnaissance unit of our Red Dragon Army, and the third exploration team composed of senior hunters from the Hunter Association. They approached from different directions at the same time. Tiankeng, but when Team Leader Lu and the others disappeared, two teams from the Red Dragon Army and the Hunter Association also disappeared, and before they disappeared, there was no abnormality, nor did they experience any battles."

Long Feijun's words made everyone sweat down their backs after careful consideration.

"If we say that the disappearance of the 'piranha' team can be explained by 'encountering monsters, retreating after fighting, running out of ammunition and food, and making heroic sacrifices', the disappearance of the three expedition teams led by Lu is really strange To the extreme."

Long Feijun spoke his mind on behalf of everyone, "If we don't figure out the mystery of their disappearance, the people of Longcheng are doomed to have trouble sleeping and eating!"

Of course.

Even if the monsters encountered by the "piranha" team cannot be explained by common sense, at least they can be solved by artillery coverage.

But Lu Siya and others, a total of three elite exploration teams were deployed on seven or eight coordinates that were far apart. Extraordinary people have ten times more rune machines, and each rune machine is equipped with a large number of cameras, detectors and data transmission devices.

As a result, without even seeing the enemy's true face, he was blinded, his ears were sealed, his tongue was cut off, and no effective information could be sent out?

This kind of elusive unknown is really the deepest level of terror.

Everyone looked at each other, and they all saw the confusion and chill in each other's eyes.

There was another unresolved silence.

"War God" Lei Zongchao suddenly coughed lightly, and said, "Ajun, play the video just now again."

In order to stabilize the magnetic field of life, Lei Zongchao curled up in a special lead jacket.

In order to stimulate everyone's thinking, he specially suppressed his sense of existence to be very thin, and sat in the corner without saying a word, like acting as a mascot, quietly listening to everyone's discussions.

However, when he coughed lightly, even if it was only half a sound, he instantly attracted the attention of all the young officers and ace investigators, and became the protagonist who did his part.

Long Feijun asked Lei Zongchao respectfully which passage he wanted to see.

Lei Zongchao asked him to dig out the UHV transmission tower that Lu Siya and the others took, which was covered with vines and branches and turned into a green giant.

I also found the UHV transmission towers taken by the "Pan-eating Pomfret" team for comparison.

"One in front and one in back, are the two expedition teams filming the same place?"

Lei Zongchao narrowed his eyes, looked at it for a long time, and asked slowly.

Long Feijun nodded in agreement.

"So, these green giants were also transformed from the same batch of UHV transmission towers?" Lei Zongchao continued to ask.

"Yes."

Long Feijun said, "Longcheng Power Bureau stores the data of all transmission towers and substations around Longcheng before crossing. These UHV transmission towers are 233 meters high, and the bifurcation structure at the top is also quite special, which was the latest product at that time. , around Dragon City, there is only such a group.

"Comparing it with the surrounding terrain, it can be confirmed that the 'Pan-eating Pomfret' team and the 'Nine Group' were filmed at the same location."

"That's not right."

Lei Zongchao pointed to the two holographic photos and said, "In the two photos, the relative positions of the UHV transmission towers have changed. and the cables of the next few buildings hang down and disappear into the grass.

"If I'm not wrong, they're like pythons lurking there, ready to jump up and hurt people at any time."

Under Lei Zongchao's guidance, everyone moved their heads to take a closer look, and sure enough, they saw a strange change.

Between the arrival of the "piranha" team and the "nine groups", the positions of several UHV transmission towers have changed.

It's like a deadly trap, after the adjustment and movement of the mechanism, it becomes more conducive to predators!

"How can this be?"

Everyone had expressions of disbelief.

These ultra-high-voltage transmission towers should be deeply rooted in the ground and firmly embedded in the base made of reinforced concrete to support the 200-meter-high iron tower and withstand the invasion of strong winds and rainstorms.

Together with the formations, they have only two endings.

Either it remains standing, unmoved, or it collapses due to an earthquake.

In any case, they should all be towering trees with steel and iron bones, and they should never grow legs like monsters, running around, right?

etc--

Someone suddenly thought that if these ultra-high voltage transmission towers really rose from the ground under the influence of some mysterious force, and they were surrounded by moss, branches and vines with extremely active cells.

Their attack mode may not be like a predatory plant, it can only be limited to a certain range.

Instead, like a monster, it can choose the most suitable hunting ground for killing at will.

This recognition instantly lowered the temperature in the meeting room by ten degrees.

And full of the sound of swallowing saliva with difficulty.
