Fast Forward To three thousand and seventy seven

Standing on the edge of the monster's skeleton, Vanessa looked at Xu Jiu from the dark.

He wore a helmet and couldn't see his face clearly, but he walked smoothly without any delay. He couldn't even see a trace of blood or coal ash common in underground mines on his thick combat clothes.

Obviously, the battle just now was not troublesome for the man.

He won easily!

"You just said that the parasitic animals consciously captive some humans?"

Looking back, Vanessa took the initiative to mention the content reported by Xu Jiugang.

"I asked the survivors that they were driven away by parasitic animals, which blocked the passage to the entrance and exit. I tested that there was no problem in entering the passage, but once they tried to leave, they would be attacked by parasitic animals immediately."

On the way to take the survivors to the entrance and exit, Xu Jiu specifically asked about these people, thought about it and then said,

"In the evening about two days ago, parasitic animals attacked the underground mine here. The people in the canteen area were people who were eating and nearby at that time. They were not killed. In fact, those monsters were not close to the canteen area at all."

"They should drive people away, which means that these monsters drive some people into the canteen area and then commit suicide here. The parasites in their bodies choose human hosts instead... If they completed this step two days ago, why should they keep the people in the canteen area today?"

Vanessa, like Xu Jiu, realized the key.

"In addition, our search operation on the first and second floors has lasted more than half an hour. Coupled with the strong light here, we didn't encounter any monsters except for the parasitic animals that appeared there."

"Is it possible that these parasitic animals are ready to use captive humans in other places, such as waiting for the subsequent parasitic animals to come, or they use these people as reserve food. As for no more monsters in the underground mine, it is because they go out for hunting and leave only one parasitic animal as guard?"

The adjutant put forward his idea, although it sounded incredible.

"Hans, record the situation here, especially the situation that monsters consciously keep humans in captivity. Anyway, we have to clean up the mine before Yu Sui town comes."

The most important thing now is to confirm whether there are hidden parasitic animals in the underground mine, and then whether the coal resources can meet the needs of Yu Sui town and several other mobile cities this winter.

"I see."

The middle-aged man nodded and raised his right arm. Xu Jiu next to him saw a light wave scanning the corpses on the ground. Then he heard adjutant Hans begin to verbally describe the situation at the scene.

Video and recording, multifunctional mechanical prosthesis?

After staring at the robot arm for a while, Xu Jiu looked down at his left arm... An arm that can do barbecue is also rare!

On site records are being made here. Other team members are not idle, but look for the activity traces of parasitic animals nearby. Even if they change their bodies, they can't evaporate from the world.

"Captain, I think you should come and have a look."

Someone shouted not far ahead. Vanessa immediately leaned over and motioned Xu Jiu to follow.

They came to the freight elevator in the middle of the second floor of the underground, which is a place specially used to transport materials and equipment to the workers in the mine.

After all, the location of the mine is deep underground. It takes a lot of time to transport heavy materials only from the elevator at the entrance and exit. It's better to open a special channel directly above.

However, at this time, the elevator that should have been hung in the passage was thrown next to the accumulated materials that had not been transported in time.

The searchlight in the hands of the two team members shines on the top, and it can be clearly seen that the protective net of the elevator is sunken. Obviously, it is not "voluntary" to leave the track.

"A parasitic beast entered the underground mine through this channel, which should be to search for other survivors... It's also strange, captain. We also found several push and drag traces at the scene, here."

It was a female team member, carrying a silver gray gun with a strong sense of science and technology, pointing to a large number of blood marks on the ground next to the elevator passage, and there were all kinds of sundries scattered on these blood marks, including broken cloth pieces and blood stained knitted hats,

"These things are undoubtedly on the people in the underground mine, so it can be preliminarily determined that these parasitic animals dragged some people into the underground mine. What do they want to do?"

This is another question.

Xu Jiu thought that coming to the underground mine was a fight. He even cooked the nutritional soup. If he had enough supplies, he had to drive the tank. As a result, the monsters seemed to be plotting something. They didn't look like the madness in the previous Wushan gathering point.

Intelligent individuals among parasites?

Or

"Can the electric device be repaired?"

Vanessa stared around the elevator and asked the team on the other side through her headset.

"Sorry, Captain, the power equipment here is the oldest device. We..."

Rao is an elite who has received professional training in the college. He is also numb to see those thermal power plants piled with coal.

"Stop the repair, everyone assemble to my position immediately!"

Xu Jiu watched Vanessa operate on the mechanical watch on her left wrist. It seemed that she was positioning. Soon, the team members scattered around began to move closer to the elevator.

"Hans, Mario, you two go down with me. I suspect there are more than one or two parasitic animals in the mine!"

Gesturing to the team members to set up the rope, Vanessa looked at Xu Jiu and said directly,

"The parasitic beast you killed alone, 70000 federal dollars, helped kill 30 thousand. This is the standard price based on mutation level alienated beasts. If you encounter stronger ones, the price will increase. Can you accept it?"

The first half is an order, and the second half is Vanessa's condition. She wants to use money to make Xu Jiu the pioneer of the team and minimize the casualties of her team members.

She made no disguise for this purpose.

"No problem. I'm here to make money. It's a truth that every penny is worth every penny on the wasteland!"

With the shotgun on her shoulder, Xu Jiu took out the Thermos Pot he carried around his waist and drank a mouthful of nutritional soup.

Kill these parasitic animals that can bring special energy to themselves as much as possible, but Xu Jiu's goal here naturally has no possibility of rejection.
