Chapter 731： Tiankeng

This question is indeed full of treacherous aura.

After making everyone present think for a while, they all felt horrified.

"Our Bureau of Investigation of the Beasts has a speculation, in fact, it was put forward by Meng Chao."

Ye Xiaoxing took the stubborn words, "Evolved from a'monster' to a'monster civilization', and has a thorough knowledge of the social structure of the Dragon City and the weaknesses of civilization, and can even penetrate into the depths of the nest city, instigating many humans. Look, the monster civilization is very likely to capture many humans alive, read their memories and thoughts, and use the fire of human civilization to light up the evolution of the monster civilization.

"However, the very small number of humans living in the wilderness cannot reproduce the huge social system and technological level of the Earth Age, and they are bound to degenerate into savages who drink blood and do not do much to the monster civilization.

"A satellite town that can be self-sufficient and operate in accordance with the laws of the earth is the ‘mastermind’ behind the monster civilization and is most needed.

"As long as the mastermind is smart enough, after discovering a satellite town of a human being on the earth, it will not necessarily drive the beast wave to destroy it.

"Perhaps, finding a way to'captive' this town and observing and studying the society of the people on earth will help the evolution of the monsters and develop highly targeted tactics that can destroy the entire human civilization in one fell swoop."

The young and strong army officers pondered for a moment, and they all showed expressions of sudden realization.

Their eyes all turned to Meng Chao.

Meng Chao gave a dry cough and said, "This is an inspiration from the practice of our Agricultural University.

"Many departments of the Agricultural University will not simply and rudely kill monsters when they encounter them. Instead, they will find ways to raise and modulate them so that the power of the monsters can be used by me.

"If you encounter a large-scale monster nest in the wilderness, if the situation is not particularly critical, it will cause too much obstacle to the colonization of the Dragon City people, it will not be destroyed immediately, but silently observe, study the monster's ethnic system, and invest Various interference factors, observe the reaction of monsters, and develop more targeted new tactics.

"I think that human civilization treats monsters this way, and it is very likely that monster civilization treats humans the same way.

"If there weren't a complete human town for the study of monster civilization, they would never have been so proficient in human language, mentality, customs, and even conflicts of interest, and accurately attack the weakest link in Dragon City.

"So, near the ultimate lair of monster civilization, it is not surprising that a Dragon City satellite town that passed through more than half a century ago appears."

"Yes."

Long Feijun nodded approvingly, and said, "After comprehensive research and judgment, the Red Dragon Army and the Alien Beast Investigation Bureau both support this conclusion.

"The monster civilization captured and raised an entire human town in order to evolve from a muddle-headed beast to a ‘civilization’ that can compete with us, and know the situation of the people on Earth.

"On the other hand, if there really exists an intact human town in such an unpredictable place, it also proves that there must be the ultimate nest of monster civilization.

"Because, without the protection of monster civilization, it is impossible for a human town to survive a day in the misty extinction zone."

Everyone's thoughts turned, and they immediately understood and agreed with Long Feijun's thinking.

The Hidden Mist Territory is not an ordinary wilderness and jungle.

It's the scariest place in the entire Monster Mountain Range.

It is ten times more terrifying than the "Broken Star Lake District, Tombstone Forest, and Raging Mountains" that Meng Chao once fought fiercely.

The size of a satellite city is too small after all.

Even if the largest satellite city outside the main city of Longcheng, it had a permanent population of hundreds of thousands before crossing.

Hundreds of thousands of people survived through the chaos and disasters of the early days, coupled with the lack of supplies and the virus attack, and the number of those who can survive is thirty to fifty thousand.

Thirty-five thousand people, relying on their own strength, live and live for more than half a century in a place where the "piranha" squad can be wiped out, without being affected by the strange environment?

How can it be!

"Since it is determined that the Hidden Fog Region is the ultimate lair of monster civilization, and a human town has been imprisoned here, even if two reconnaissance teams are damaged in succession, new reconnaissance forces must be invested."

Long Feijun said, "We can neither allow the mastermind behind the monster civilization to hover in the depths of the mist behind the Dragon City, nor can we watch our compatriots in a town being controlled and ravaged by monsters, yet indifferent.

"So, the Red Dragon Army shared intelligence with the Bureau of Investigation and the Transcendent Tower, and dispatched three more elite reconnaissance teams in one go."

Meng Chao nodded.

Regardless of the "Nine Groups" led by Lu Siya or the senior hunters of the Hunters Association, their combat experience is not inferior to the "Cannibal Pomfret" squad, and the realm still has a powerful existence that is even greater than that. .

"Although the'piranha' team is very likely to be annihilated, they have performed their duties perfectly. They have explored a large number of topography and landforms in the misty extinct area, and analyzed samples of underground mineral veins, leaving a large number of radioactive beacons. Critical data came out from the outside world."

Long Feijun continued, "Based on the data sent back by the'piranha' team, we drew a map of some areas in the misty extinct area, and used train cannons to load the'weather jamming bomb' to bombard the spar veins. The mountain top caused a chain reaction of magnetic field shocks, temporarily changing the local microclimate, calming down thunder, heavy rains, floods and mudslides, and winning a short window.

"The three new reconnaissance teams set off immediately, followed the footsteps of the'piranha' team, and successfully reached the depths of the misty extremity. They took clearer photos and surveyed and mapped more detailed data-these data will be Our next strategy provides great support."

Long Feijun refers to the three-dimensional sand table diagram.

Light and shadow change, and new photos and videos appear.

It can be clearly seen that all the members of the "Extraordinary Beast Investigation Bureau, the Ninth Special Search Team" including Lu Siya are standing in front of a purple bush that grows crazily and curls like a spiral.

They carried ten times more automated war machines than the "piranha" squad, powered by spars and controlled by runes.

The spirit flames released from the whole body are also stronger than the "Piranha" team.

Many of the investigating team members who explored in the front, in order to prevent falling into a swamp, or being bitten by snakes, insects, rats and ants hung in the grass, their feet were three feet off the ground, floating in the void, demonstrating the powerful ability to break through the heavens.

With the beacon that the "Piranha" team used their lives to condense, they passed the "Space Folding Zone" without any risk.

It also avoided the "green giant" that vines entangled the transmission tower, and so on, the most dangerous existence in the misty extinct region.

Just took some photos from a distance.

They also found the scene where the "piranha" commander blew himself up.

There is no trace of human activity anymore.

Everywhere is covered with colorful vines, branches, shrubs and moss, like a brightly colored garden that does not seem to be real.

But investigators such as Lu Siya collected some incredible things here.

It is the cells extracted from the mucus scraped from the vine.

In the observation of the spar microscope carried by Lu Siya, it can be clearly seen that these cells have huge vacuoles and a large number of chloroplasts.

These are all typical characteristics of plant cells.

But it does not have the cell wall that plant cells should have.

Instead, it is covered with an elastic, translucent cell membrane made of phospholipids.

There is also a fairly active central body.

Although lower plants may also have centrosomes.

But this section swims slowly like a python, and even after encountering a human, it automatically erects large thorns and spiky vines, which are not classified as "lower" plants. .

Its cells have the characteristics of animal and plant cells at the same time.

And the entire area of ​​the misty extremity is filled with such strange creatures.

Perhaps such cells can explain why these mosses, branches and vines, which look like plants, are crazier than monsters.

However, these cells are not the focus of Lu Siya's research for the time being.

After a period of trekking, the nine groups arrived at the last coordinates before the "Pupper" team lost contact.

That is in front of the big crater that is suspected of being hit by the meteorite.

In subsequent conversations on the communication channel, nine groups of investigators all referred to this big hole as "tiankeng."

Under the cross-shooting of holographic cameras, this big hole is indeed as huge as a "tiankeng", deep, magnificent, and mysterious.

It is located at the foot of the mist-shrouded Mt. Shenshan, and it is covered by a swirling sea of ​​clouds, so that nine groups of investigators came to the front of the tiankeng and thought they were on the shore of a white ocean.

Only the absolutely precise curved coast of the "white ocean" and the road signs left by the "piranha" team aroused Lu Siya's vigilance and did not set foot on it easily.

And the sea of ​​clouds covering the tiankeng resembled the breath of a huge primitive behemoth, expanding and contracting very regularly, repeatedly becoming strong and thin.

When it expands and becomes thinner to the limit, you can vaguely see a drop of hundreds of meters.

The sunken rock walls also show an absolutely precise and smooth arc.

Part of the rock wall has a silvery metallic luster or a colorful glaze texture.

It was as if it had been burned by extremely high temperature, so that the rock formations and spars were all melted and solidified again.

More rock walls are covered by moss, vines and branches.

The "plants" here grow more luxuriant and crazy than outside the Tiankeng.

Two vines separated by a few hundred meters may span across the sky, entangled with each other, like overpasses built in a tiankeng.

These "overpasses" form the skeleton, and a large number of moss, branches and smaller vines continue to climb up, filling the skeleton into a spherical, "sky jungle" that grows wildly in all directions.

It was like a head of monsters protruding from the depths of the rock wall with tentacles full of ghost claws, holding the heads of snakes dancing wildly.
