Chapter 646 Rescue
"Eton."
Lu Chihuan pinched the bridge of his nose.
He originally looked sick, and when he curled up in the blanket, his dark almond-shaped eyes also seemed a little tired and sleepy.
but.
After drinking the potion handed to him by Eaton, Lu Chihuan's face became more rosy, and his whole spirit was lifted, as if he had regained some vitality and spirit.
He looked down at the ground with a slightly solemn gaze, bent his white fingers and tapped his knees a few times, as if he was thinking about something, and after a moment he continued with the second half of the sentence.
"Scan the underground situation."
if--
If there really is mucus that parasitizes the Zerg moving under these layers of rocks, then he and Eaton must leave this place quickly.
So as not to be entangled by them again.
After all, this kind of big move that releases a large amount of mental power cannot be used frequently. If they are accidentally entangled, they don’t know what method to use to get out.
"Yes."
"Owner."
After hearing Lu Chihuan's words, Eaton's eyes, which were glowing with a faint blue light, flashed a few times, and then he took the initiative to turn on the thermal scanning device embedded in his body.
soon.
This thick layer of rock has become translucent in its eyes.
It could vaguely see layers of something surging under the rock. The temperature of that thing was extremely low, and the heat emitted from it was negligible, if the thermal scanning device installed by Eaton had not been upgraded several times.
estimate……
It will also be unconsciously ignored.
Presumably, that should be the mucus that parasitizes the Zerg. They have already left the Zerg shell and are now in a hunting state, so that it seems like something in the mucus is struggling desperately.
Judging from the images transmitted by the thermal scanning device, it should be a human.
"Owner."
"There seem to be humans down here."
Eaton had no intention of hiding anything, and immediately reported his discovery to Lu Chihuan, "It's just that there is a rock layer blocking it, so the identity of the other party cannot be confirmed for the time being."
Lu Chihuan was originally thinking about where to go next.
Hearing this, his eyes widened.
The long and thick eyelashes swept up and down like a small brush, casting a light shadow on the porcelain white skin.
At this moment, he unconsciously clutched the blanket tightly, and his dark eyes brightened a little with a hint of surprise.
Humanity?
Apart from Lu Minghe and the elite pirate subordinates he brought with him, it is basically impossible for other humans to exist in this wormhole.
and so.
The humans under the rock layer must be related to Lu Minghe and his group.
If there really is no connection, since the other party entered the cave before them, he must know something about the situation inside.
You never know what you can get out of the other person.
This is really...
Huang Tian deserves a caring person.
He and Eaton had been searching in this dark cave for such a long time, and now they finally found clues about Lu Minghe and the others.
therefore.
Lu Chihuan pursed his lips hard and said without hesitation, "Eden, can you see if you can get through the rock layer underground so that we can go down and find him directly?"
Eaton visually estimated the thickness between the rock layers, and the processor began to calculate.
After a moment it nodded slightly.
"of course can."
"Please rest assured, Master. I will take care of this matter."
only.
Now it is holding Lu Chihuan in both hands. If it wants to break through the rock layer, it must use weapons, so for a moment Eaton doesn't know where to put Lu Chihuan.
after all.
It doesn't feel at ease no matter where it is settled.
At this moment, Eaton lowered his huge head and stared at Lu Chihuan's fair and beautiful face, and soon made a decision in his heart.
It spoke respectfully and gently with that inorganic electronic voice:
"But for your safety, please hide in the cab for a while to avoid being accidentally injured by flying rocks."
"Eton doesn't want to see you get hurt."
talking.
The door of the cockpit on its chest opened automatically, and Lu Chihuan was carefully sent in. The movement was so fast that Lu Chihuan didn't react for a long time.
Lu Chihuan blinked a few times.
After coming to her senses, she smiled helplessly, with the dimple at the corner of her lips faintly visible.
Honestly.
He always felt that Eaton was a little overprotective of him, just like a hen protecting her newborn, fluffy chicks.
It was as if he would not allow anything in this world to hurt him.
"Eton."
"You must be careful yourself, too."
He gave a few soft instructions in his clear voice, then took out a few bottles of potion from his storage ring and drank them slowly.
There may be a tough battle to fight next.
and so.
He had to quickly recover his physical and mental strength to prevent any accidents when facing the Zerg slime next time.
Eaton nodded slightly after hearing Lu Chihuan's words.
Followed by.
It lowered its head to look at the rock formations on the ground again, and there seemed to be a faint light flashing in its eyes, as if it was scanning and analyzing.
It only took about half a minute.
Eaton targeted the weak spots in the rock formation.
next moment.
After Eaton raised his cold mechanical hand, he neatly pulled out a huge light blade from behind him. He concentrated all his energy and thrust the light blade into the ground.
After the light blade penetrated a few inches.
He twisted the light blade to the right with his backhand again, and in an instant, it seemed as if invisible energy was gathering under the light blade.
after that.
It exploded again instantly.
In an instant, the thick rock layers were shattered by this force, spider-web-like cracks began to expand and deepen, and the crackling sound was almost constant.
Eaton drew out the light blade.
Then they launched an attack on the already crumbling rock formation.
The originally somewhat intact rock formation had been deeply cut into countless pieces by the attack released by the light blade, and then it was detonated by a force, causing only choking dust to rise.
The gravel on the ground seemed unable to withstand this force and could not stop falling.
A moment later.
A huge hole appeared before their eyes.
If you look down from the cave entrance, you can vaguely see a dim blue light at the bottom, which is a bit eerie.
"Owner."
After putting away the light blade, Eaton reminded Lu Chihuan, "Please get ready."
"We're going to jump."
Lu Chihuan heard this.
He gently wiped the water marks on his lips with the back of his hand and threw the several empty medicine bottles beside him into the storage ring.
After this.
He grasped the armrest of the cockpit seat with one hand, but his pair of dark and bright eyes did not close because of nervousness. Instead, they stared at the position of the light screen without blinking.
"it is good."
Because Eaton projected his vision onto the light screen, he could also see the hole that was forcibly opened.
Lu Chihuan is not very afraid of heights.
Therefore, even though he knew that Eaton was going to jump out of the cave, he did not feel any fear or helplessness in his heart.
On the contrary,
He was still a little excited.
Ever since arriving in this world branch, the person he most wanted to see was Lu Minghe, but he didn't expect the process of meeting Lu Minghe to be so bumpy and difficult, and all kinds of accidents would always happen.
After he meets Lu Minghe.
But you have to complain properly.
After hearing Lu Chihuan's answer, Eaton turned around and inserted the light blade back behind himself.
Then he jumped down into the dark cave entrance quickly and neatly, remaining calm and composed from beginning to end.
Because of its own weight.
The speed at which it fell was extremely fast.
Therefore, Lu Chihuan could even hear the whistling wind blowing past his ears.
In just a few blinks of an eye, they had already approached the hole below. The dim light magnified in front of their eyes, and for a moment it seemed a bit dazzling.
Lu Chihuan raised his hands to cover his eyes.
After putting them down, I found that they had already landed steadily on the ground.
It was only then that he discovered that there were clusters of crystal ore growing on the rock cave below. The faint blue halo they had seen above the cave was exactly emitted by these crystal ore.
"warn."
"The gas emitted by the crystal ore in the cave is slightly poisonous. If you stay there for a long time, you may experience dizziness, vomiting and other poisoning symptoms. So if you want to get out of the cockpit, you'd better wear a gas mask."
Eaton seemed to have scanned something.
A big red exclamation mark appeared on the light screen in the cockpit.
Lu Chihuan's eyes narrowed.
After nodding in agreement, he quickly rummaged through his storage ring.
Fortunately.
Before entering this world branch, he had already brought enough reserve supplies.
So he didn't think much about it and took out a black gas mask from the storage ring. After putting it on, it can filter out the toxic gases in the air.
only.
The gas mask is kind of ugly.
But this was not the time to be picky, Lu Chihuan raised his hand and put the gas mask on his face. Soon his straight nose and light pink lips were basically covered.
Only his bright and moist eyes were exposed, making it almost impossible to tell what he looked like.
"It's done."
He left the cockpit.
Now he jumped onto Eaton's shoulder and looked down from above.
The mucus below the cave was like a silk-spinning spider, and the tentacles transformed from the mucus were wrapped around the still struggling human body layer by layer, as if trying to wrap him into a cocoon and then devour him bit by bit from the outside to the inside.
But the human being entangled by it naturally refused to be assimilated, and he struggled in the mucus like a trapped moth.
The hand stretched out from the cocoon and seemed to be trying to grab something.
But it was submerged again a moment later.
Seeing this, Lu Chihuan did not delay any longer. He took out a powerful flamethrower from his storage ring and fired at the mucus.
The mucus here was far less than what they had encountered before, so if he didn't use his mental power, he still had a way to destroy it.
After being burned by the flames.
The slime shrank its tentacles in a quite human manner.
Then he looked around again, and finally locked his sights on Eaton and Lu Chihuan who suddenly appeared.
They made threatening sounds similar to the crying voice of a child.
Seeing that Lu Chihuan and the others had no intention of retreating, the gathered mucus waved towards Lu Chihuan like a big hand, as if intending to show him some power.
however.
There is Eton here.
They had no chance of getting close to Lu Chihuan at all.
Now the gathered slime has been nailed to the rock cave nearby by Eaton's light blade, and Lu Chi took the opportunity to aim the flamethrower at them and turned the gear to the maximum.
The scorching hot flames swept up.
It didn't take long.
These parasitic mucus have turned into black charcoal.
See this.
Lu Chihuan and Eaton cooperated with each other tacitly, breaking the remaining mucus in the cave one by one. In the end, they basically turned into a handful of black ash left after the raging fire.
After confirming that the crisis has been resolved.
Lu Chihuan jumped off Eaton's shoulders with great agility.
With the help of Eaton's palm, he landed on the ground easily. He placed his fingertips on the weapon at his waist and looked down at the man who was covering his throat and coughing with some vigilance and caution.
The man was previously engulfed by the mucus, and it is unknown whether he is now parasitized.
Lu Chihuan couldn't be sure.
That's why we have to be extremely alert and careful now.
The man raised his hand and wiped the mucus from the corners of his mouth and near his nasal cavity a few times. He finally stopped coughing and noticed Lu Chihuan and Jin Wu standing not far in front of him.
That look was stunned again.
It seemed that they didn't expect that there would be other people in this wormhole besides them.
…that’s weird.
but.
Although he was not sure about the identities of the young man in front of him and the mecha behind him, he still nodded and thanked them politely, "Thank you for your help just now."
"If it weren't for you guys... I would have become one of those slime shells, living a life worse than death."
"I don't know your names."
"I will definitely repay you after I get out of this wormhole."
talking.
He covered his chest and coughed twice.
Seeing Lu Chihuan looking at him warily and his eyes falling on the embroidered pattern on his collar, the man smiled at them again and said, "This is the uniform of our Ghost Pirates."
"I am one of the elite members of the Ghost Pirates. The leader thinks highly of me, so the reward I just mentioned is not just a casual remark. When I get out, you..."
This sentence has not yet been finished.
Lu Chihuan had already taken out a gas mask from the storage ring and pressed it on his face, as if he was worried that his current state was a last gasp, so he asked quickly:
"Where is your leader now?"
"Are you still alive?"
The man's breathing became smoother after he put on the gas mask.
However, when they heard Lu Chihuan asking about the whereabouts of their leader, there was a hint of confusion and vigilance in their eyes, as if they were worried that Lu Chihuan would do something bad to their leader.
Lu Chihuan didn't have time to bother with him.
He took out his authority card and said concisely, "I am the new leader of the Ghost Pirates. I learned that the previous leader disappeared in the wormhole."
"So I came here specially to rescue you."
"Tell me the location of the former leader right now, or I can execute you right now."
