Doomsday Bunker Upgrade - Chapter 542
After waiting nervously for half an hour, the aerial reconnaissance came back.
The helicopter found no abnormalities on the island, but found a cave, and judged that it might be a nest of unknown creatures.
The unsuccessful return of aerial reconnaissance naturally meant that Chen Xin and the others had to land on the island.
At this time, follow-up support also arrived one after another with the help of a transport helicopter dispatched by the Air Force, and a temporary camp was built not far from Junshan Island.
In the temporary command post in the camp, Chen Xin is analyzing the photos taken by the helicopter from the air together with others.
Because the island has also been hit by a meteorite, the entire Junshan Island now looks more like the surface of the moon. There are several small craters around a large crater. Although it is covered with snow, the traces of the meteorite can still be seen. .
On the wall of the big pit, there is a quite obvious hole. In this photo taken from the air by a helicopter, the black cave is indeed quite different from the gray snow around it.
The cave doesn’t look small, and it’s diagonally downward. Even if the helicopter approaches the entrance of the cave and shines inward with a searchlight, the cave is dark and it seems to be quite deep.
“From the photo, the unidentified creature clearly came out of this hole, and there should be more than one. There are many footprints around the entrance of the hole. This is not like a wild animal.” The biologist who arrived later. Looking at the footprints taken in the photos, I carefully analyzed them: “But it’s strange that these footprints only returned to the cave after a few laps around. Only one footprint leads to the outside, if it is a wild animal group. It shouldn’t be this way of life.”
Regarding the biologist’s doubts, Chen Xin just said to him: “We are about to face alien creatures. Using the habits of earth creatures to analyze it will only mislead us, and I think it’s nothing. Wild animals are alien creatures with a certain degree of wisdom.”
“Is there a certain amount of wisdom?” Hearing Chen Xin’s words, the biologist thought for a while and nodded: “If it is an alien creature, then everything is unknown. We really can’t use the biological habits on Earth. Analyze. But if this is the case, we need more information, otherwise we can only be the blind man touching the elephant and guessing here.”
“So I still have to go to the island and enter the cave to find out.” Chen Xin tapped **** the table, looked at the officer on the side, and asked him: “How much power can be used now?”
“There is a special team that has arrived at the temporary camp. The academician you brought a Titan combat team, plus an Army aviation regiment. In addition, the Air Force can send an aviation regiment to bomb here at any time, and the Rocket Army will also help us when necessary. Provide fire support.” The officer answered Chen Xin’s question after a little calculation.
Hearing the officers say that so much force can be used at present, Chen Xin feels a little relieved, with so much power in his hand, even if it is an alien invasion, it can completely solve the problem by direct strategic bombing.
But after thinking about it, he still didn’t let the bombing be done directly. Instead, he said to the officer: “Let the special forces and the Titans be prepared. First go to the island to see what’s going on. If you can solve the problem, you don’t need to bomb. .”
The officer nodded and affirmed Chen Xin’s decision, but he also asked Chen Xin, “What if the problem cannot be solved?”
“Poor tactics are interspersed, rich,” Chen Xin said here, his right hand clenched into a fist, and directly hit the photo and map in front of him: “Strategic bombing.”
With the issuance of the combat order, the special team that was temporarily transferred was ready, and along with the eight Titans, boarded Junshan Island and entered the cave where it was discovered.
The space inside the cave is not small, at least the eight Titans all entered the cave smoothly.
And as they gradually descended and penetrated into the cave, the height of the cave became higher and higher.
“This cave should have been excavated on the basis of a naturally formed cave. There are traces of excavation on the walls of the cave.” After going deep into the cave for a period of time, Chen Xin and the others found many new clues.
“This is indeed a trace of excavation, but what was it used for? There is no organ on the corpse of that creature that can excavate the rock wall!” The biologist who has been in contact with Chen Xin captured it through Bailong. In the picture, some can’t figure out how the creature digs, and its claws are obviously not designed for digging.
Chen Xin had some speculations about this, but he hoped that his speculation would not come true, but he still said: “They are likely to be social structures similar to ants and bees. There are worker bees or worker ants. We met before. The creature that arrived may play the role of a soldier ant.”
“If this is the case, it can explain their strange behavior.” The biologist nodded slightly, thinking about the probability of this possibility. UU reading www.uukananshu. com
“Now what I am worried about is whether the bombing will be effective. This hole is so deep, we should be under the lake now, and the bomb may not be able to blow in.” Chen Xin was worried about another thing at this time. .
“Academician, don’t worry about this issue. The Air Force has already prepared ground penetration bombs, and the engineers are already preparing to explode at the entrance of the cave.” The officer on the side said, obviously they still have plans for certain things.
Hearing that engineers and soldiers were preparing at the entrance of the cave, Chen Xin’s worries did not ease.
After all, since this kind of creature that is currently unclear what it is can excavate this cave, it undoubtedly proves that they have the ability to excavate. Simply blasting the cave entrance may not have any effect.
But it’s useless to worry about it now. What’s more important is to find the nests that are almost certain to be alien creatures, and figure out what they are.
As for how to deal with them, that’s something afterwards.
As Chen Xin and the others got deeper and deeper, they finally discovered the nests of those alien creatures, and everything that appeared in front of them made everyone stunned.
Looking at the lair in front of him, Chen Xin finally understood why the creature he encountered had a body temperature of 105, because these guys actually dug out the magma directly, relying on the heat of the magma as their own source of energy!
Deep in the cave, a dark red lava is accumulated in a pool-like magma pool, and a huge and bloated monster is lying next to the magma pool. The bloated body is almost translucent, emitting an orange-red light that makes people feel unclear. .
The same individuals as the creatures Chen Xin had encountered before were entrenched around this monster, supervising other slightly smaller individuals, digging into the cave.
