Chapter 933 Heading to the Bering Strait

"There are mutated creatures ahead, please carry out clearance operations immediately." A mechanized prompt sounded inside the shuttle-shaped metal cabin - due to space and weight limitations, the shuttle-shaped metal cabin itself did not come with any weapons and equipment. When encountering this, This situation must be resolved by Qi Lin and the others personally.

"I'll handle it." Qi Lin said to the others through the intercom, got out of the hanging bag, and pushed open the hatch cover of the shuttle-shaped metal cabin.

According to the positioning data sent by the master brain, the mutated creature blocking the road is located in the pipe five hundred meters ahead. From the scanned image, the shape of the mutated creature seems to be a large irregular sphere... …

But when Qi Lin really saw that thing, he was still deeply disgusted...

It was a large group of maggots entangled with each other. Countless fat insect bodies were wrapped into a sphere with a diameter of more than two meters. A large amount of fishy mucus dripped from the surface of the sphere - these mucus carried a lot of... It is weakly corrosive and corrodes the pipe wall made of concrete inside the pipe into pits. Fortunately, the shuttle metal cabin uses an air cushion to contact the pipe wall. This bump will not affect the forward movement of the shuttle metal cabin.

Each of these maggots was as thick as a thigh, and their disgusting bodies were constantly squirming. For a while, Qi Lin couldn't tell how many individual mutant maggots there were.

"This should be a symbiote, right?" It's not like Qi Lin has never seen similar symbiote mutant creatures. The "Rat King" he encountered in the sewers of the City of Steel was a symbiote mutant creature. A sort of.

Judging from the energy level, the total of this large group of maggot symbionts is about E-level at most. Perhaps it is to avoid the severe cold above the surface that it got into the relatively warm pipes.

The maggot symbionts did not show any aggression. Even though Qi Lin was standing less than twenty meters away from them, they still did not attack Qi Lin, but continued to tangle and squirm on their own.

However... it is an indisputable fact that they blocked the way forward. Qi Lin really couldn't feel any sympathy for such disgusting monsters. He stepped back dozens of meters and took out his Gauss rifle. Start shooting at the maggot symbiote.

Streams of light penetrated into this large mass of flesh, and a large amount of smelly juice and indescribable internal organs fragments were splashed everywhere. After being attacked to such a degree, they reacted violently - this large mass of maggots scattered directly. They separated and fled deeper into the passage!

"Not a symbiote?"

Qi Lin was stunned by the sudden change. However, not all the mutated maggots escaped. Some of them still stayed in place, but the two-meter-diameter sphere suddenly only had less than one-tenth of its volume left. .

The remaining mutated maggots are fatter in shape, and have a strange blue-green color under their translucent skin. Obviously, these bugs contain a lot of radiation energy in their bodies.

After a large number of maggots escaped from the "bug ball", Qi Lin could also feel a strange energy fluctuation seeping out from the inside of the bug ball.

"You can't be so lucky... Could it be that this ball of maggots is gathered together because of something?" Qi Lin muttered in his heart and walked towards the much smaller worm ball.

Something that can attract such mutated maggots to gather together and emit such strong energy fluctuations, Qi Lin doesn't need to think too much to know what it is...

The maggots were knocked off the ball one after another, and the thing wrapped in their core finally appeared in front of Qi Lin.

It was a pitch-black stone, about the size of a face, and its surface was covered with mucus secreted by mutated maggots—and the strong energy fluctuations emanated from this stone.

"Hiss... it seems to be some kind of... hiss... a rare associated ore of radioactive ore... hiss... according to preliminary measurements... the energy content ratio is about seven times that of ordinary-level pure energy crystals of the same volume... hiss... ordinary-level pure energy crystals... About one-tenth..."

Due to the strong radiation energy, even the communication between the master brain and Qi Lin has been seriously interfered with.

"One-seventieth of the ordinary level pure energy crystal?"

Qi Lin looked at the strange-shaped stone in front of him. Although this piece of ore was not too big, it was at least equivalent to more than 400 ordinary-level pure energy crystals. Calculated at a ratio of one-seventieth, then It is almost equal to the size of six quail eggs of ordinary-grade pure energy crystals.

Although the six pure energy crystals and the current energy-gathering vortex with a capacity as vast as a sea can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket, it is at least better than nothing.

It took Qi Lin thirty seconds to absorb all the radiation energy in the ore, and the ore that was originally as black as ink had turned gray-white. With a light touch, it was directly Broken into countless small pieces.

As for the mutant maggots that fled in all directions, Qi Lin did not kill them all. The individual strength of these mutant maggots was not even elite level. In addition, the giant bug balls that blocked the passage no longer existed. It was just a matter of chasing and killing those small bugs. Just wasting time for no reason.

…

“Obstacles cleared, move on.”

The shuttle-shaped metal cabin started up again, and this time, it finally reached its destination without encountering any obstacles.

This is a small town in the Russian Far East with a population of less than 30,000. It is located on the East Siberian Plain. The entire town is the property of Gazprom, the world's largest natural gas mining company in the old era, covering an area of ​​more than 1.5 A large natural gas processing plant with an area of ​​10,000 square meters is located next to this town.

Although Qi Lin came here for the first time, he was no stranger to this Russian Far East plain that is covered with ice, snow and moss all year round in "Wasteland Survival Code". Even if he commanded the team to occupy the area on the edge of the town, There were several relatively complete buildings, and then Harveys and Ayakui were left behind, and they took George and 0592 towards the center of the town.

Parked next to the only main road that runs through the town are three Volga off-road vehicles covered in gray and with seriously peeling military green paint.

Although these three off-road vehicles look like things left over from the old era, inside the vehicles they have been replaced with the most advanced nuclear-powered engines - these are vehicles specially prepared by the mastermind for the team. They will ride on them. Follow these three off-road vehicles through the entire Chukotka Peninsula and reach the coast.
