After receiving the coordinates of the entrance to the safe passage, it took Feng an hour and 47 minutes to reach the marked location. Originally, if he ran at full speed, he would only need ten minutes. However, he chose to walk closer step by step and kill some Human-Faced Moths along the way while replenishing some 'food'. Zero is a picky eater, and the human face moth doesn't have enough muscle fibers, so it uses the brain most for snacks.
The brain is rich in protein, amino acids and other nutrients needed by the human body. Of course, the brain juice of a human face moth is not delicious at all. They are bitter and astringent, and contain small amounts of neurotoxin, but zero is like a hungry man. Usually, after killing a human face moth, he would use his light teeth to open the brain of the monster bug, and then carefully pick out and eat the little fist-sized brain of the worm that was wrapped in a greyish-white fat cortex.
By the time Zero reached the entrance to the five-story base, there were already no less than a hundred Man-Faced Moths' heads hollowing out for him. But even so, Zero still felt sick from hunger. Although the Insect Brain was nutritious, it was far from being as nutritious as this kind of food that contained a huge amount of calories and nutrition after being purified. Thus, although he had eaten a lot of snacks, he was able to recover about 5% of his energy.
If he wanted to recover all his energy, he would probably need to eat thousands or even more Human-Faced Moths. Adepts, after all, consumed a great deal of energy, as well as a great deal of energy. If it weren't for the nutrients, the Adepts would have to spend two-thirds of the day on food. That was unthinkable.
When Zero appeared, Feng and the others were sitting cross-legged at the entrance. Zombie and Gemini, on the other hand, were keeping watch nearby. At midnight, Gemini was about to attack, but he stopped her in time.
Eva looked deeply at Zero. In her eyes, the life energy of zero was dim. Although his energy was recovering, with this slow speed, if he were to eat normally, it would take him at least two days to recover to his peak condition.
”You're hurt.” ”I don't know,” Eve said flatly, her eyes darting over the crisscrossing scars on her body.
Zero took off his helmet, shook his head and said, ”He won't die. Instead, it's you guys, there's been a big problem. ”
Feng jumped up from the ground, and after making some gestures with his hand, he said exaggeratedly, ”Fish, such a big fish.” Their speed is comparable to a speedboat, and their biting power is five times that of a shark, but more importantly, they have at least a thousand. ”
After mumbling incoherently, Su Feng impatiently pushed him away. With a more organized expression, Zero roughly understood the situation of the five-storey base. The five-storey base was already filled to the brim with water. When Feng and the others entered the base, the water level only reached their knees. But ten minutes ago, the third Kansan had discovered that the water level was already halfway to the waist.
The trouble was, the water in the five-storey base was almost entirely occupied by the descendants of the Crypt Lords. Those extremely fast, bloodthirsty, and cruel strange fish were swimming in the water all the time, and there was almost no way to cross their internal and external layers of overlapping sealing lines.
A tactical board was placed on the floor, and the screen displayed the map of the five level base. The various shapes of the buildings above showed different functions. There were offices, testing rooms, laboratories, archives, etc. As for the mission items for the team of zeros, they were placed in the archive room. Looking at the screen, even if it was a straight line from the exit of the safe passage to the archive room, it would still be about 2000 meters away. If he followed the route given by the intellectual brain, the distance would be even longer. More importantly, this distance was filled with red dots of light.
Each light dot represented a strange fish, so there were at least four hundred fish blocking their path. With so many people, unless Feng or Eva were willing to show real strength, it would be difficult for them to break through from the front.
”It's not like there's nothing we can do.” After understanding the situation in the base, Zero said calmly, ”First, find the location of the archive and make a gap there. But right now we don't have enough equipment or gunpowder, so this method shouldn't work. ”Now, I can only use the second method …”
Within the fifth floor of the base, the water level was still rising. Originally, the low temperature in the west had caused the underground water to freeze. However, in order to give the next generation an environment where they could grow up, the Underground Lord used his immense biological energy to heat up and melt the frozen ground water, but gushed it into the underground base. The temperature of the sewage was extremely low, but because it was underground water, there was very little radiation. If a certain amount of water was taken to the surface for treatment, it could also be turned into pure water for drinking in the wilderness.
In the new era, the definition of clean water is different to clean water, not to mention low-radiation drinking water. The higher the level of the clean water, the less radiation there is in the water. But now, this lowest level area of clean water had become the hotbed for the strange fishes.
They forage, grow, and eventually evolve into maternal amphibians.
