Chapter 47: First arrival at the core area
[Trigger the "Special Permission Item Acquisition" task. 】
[Mission goal: Kill 5 mechanically modified creatures - Death Wave (1/5). 】
[Task reward: Permission props-commodity remote delivery terminal. 】
[Note: After obtaining this permission prop, the host can choose to take it out directly or deliver it to the terminal when purchasing the product. 】
This is the new mission that Luger triggered after killing the flying cell phone.
The mission rewards are no longer points, but special "authority props".
According to Ruger's understanding, so-called permission props are items directly related to system functions.
For example, the logistics space he initially obtained and the bunker, the first enhancement module of the logistics space, are all permission props.
This kind of thing really cannot be bought by relying on points.
Although the reward this time seemed far inferior to super props like logistics space, Luger understood the value of this thing in an instant.
The product remote delivery terminal is simply a good thing tailor-made for him now.
It’s not an exaggeration to say, “As soon as you doze off, give me a pillow.”
This thing is obviously used as an ammunition box for Tiya.
With it, Luger no longer has to manually deliver ammunition to Tiya while fighting.
He only needed to use his mind to buy some ammunition from the commodity vending machine in the logistics space, deliver it to the terminal, and let Tia, who was holding the terminal, pay for it herself.
It's simply not too convenient.
As for explaining this to Tiya, Huhu, do I need to explain?
Just say it is an alchemy tool similar to the Horadric Cube.
If it weren't for the fear of encountering an authentic product, Luger would have deliberately called it a Horadric Cube.
After all, the icon of the thing in the mission description is very similar to the alchemy cube.
"Youchan, you are also a good comrade of the money-giving boy."
Someone said with emotion that he was getting a good deal.
As the flying mobile phone was shot down, the Mine Mole Bomb Turtles that were previously active in the channel also disappeared.
In fact, the latter was already very sparse about half a minute ago.
It seems that the defense zones for these self-exploding bombs were deliberately placed in a maze area slightly far away from the core area.
In Ruger's opinion, this was a smart move.
After all, the underground water pipeline network has been transformed into a complicated and criss-crossing maze by the charlatans.
Even Lao Naocha, who had been here before, just suffered from "senile dementia" and forgot "a few" details and could not get out of it. This shows that the effect of this maze is still very good.
Even if there are no evil spirits stationed in it, the maze itself has sufficient defense.
But if heavy troops are deployed around the core area, the attacker only needs to attack in the direction with more troops to get out of the maze directly.
That's not just superfluous, it's simply a link to foreign countries.
This does not mean that the arrangement of increasing the number of troops as we get to the core area is wrong.
Ruger also believes that this arrangement in other places can be reasonable.
It's just that there are already effective mazes here, so there is some conflict.
Maze and heavy garrison are incompatible with each other and have conflicting functions. Only one of them can be chosen.
That's exactly what the ghosts did.
Very smart and professional, once again proving that the commander of the Charms has a high IQ.
Unfortunately, everything is unexpected.
Ruger and his team took advantage of this.
According to Lao Naochao's limited memory, the distance between the two of them in a straight line from the core area of Wei Mei is less than 200 meters.
During this distance, the two of them encountered zero new strange things.
Turning the last corner quickly and carefully, the two of them immediately saw the light at the end of the passage.
It was different from the dim light of the fluorescent bacteria on the cave wall.
It seems that through this passage, the two of them can return to the ground!
It's not just the foggy and dark ground at the edge of the forest, it's a bright place where the sun shines.
Seeing this, both people in the front and rear carriages stood up and stepped out of the carriage.
Looking at the light ahead with naked eyes, the two looked at each other and nodded.
Luger turned around again, his right foot pressed down on the accelerator smoothly and firmly, and the little tank also charged towards the light at the same pace.
Tia also held the grenade launcher steadily, and the gun muzzle wandered around from time to time, alerting enemies who might appear at any time.
Soon, as if passing through a barrier of light, the two finally entered the mysterious core area of the underground.
Luger rubbed his eyes, which were used to darkness, hard before he could adapt to the light in this new area.
"Wow~ This, what kind of place is this? Is this really the enchanted lair?"
Hearing Xiaotiya's emotion, Luge also quickly looked around.
It didn't matter what he saw, he almost screamed out in shock at the sight in front of him.
Ruger is no stranger to this environment.
There are green mountains, green water, plains and hills, just like a normal earth.
But the problem is, this is not on the ground, there is no sky, there is only the same endless cave roof, with a few huge cracks here and there.
Outside the cracks, there are peaks like "Tongtian Pillars" that go straight from the ground to the top, holding them there to prevent them from collapsing.
Here is a huge underground cave, it can even be said to be an underground city.
At least Luger was convinced that the area he could see alone was at least larger than the main urban area of the second-tier provincial capital city where he was located.
In other words, this underground city area has an area of at least 20 kilometers in radius.
The stone sky on top is not very high, but the highest point is 700 to 800 meters.
Such a large area can no longer be just a sewer network.
This place must have been expanded by something.
"Brother Lu, look up."
Following the direction of Tia's arm, Ruger saw a group of gray-black things moving regularly on the ceiling in front of him on the left.
"Giant ants?!"
That's right, it was the giant ant engineer who appeared before and occasionally had the ability to spit magic acid.
They seemed to be digging out the soil near the ceiling bit by bit, passing it to a specific location and throwing it down.
"Brother Lu, do you think this big hole was dug by them?"
Yes, of course.
No, this is probably dug by them year after year.
Ruger thought.
Perhaps fifty years ago, this was just a relatively large area in the groundwater network.
The highest was only ** meters, and the length and width were at most a few hundred meters.
Fifty years later, there was actually a city here, which was incredible.
Are these giant ants also endless descendants?
But, what does Guimei want to do by digging this place so big?
Escape from the ground?
But those cracks that let in light must have led to the ground, right?
They can't get out from there?
It's hard to say about other species, but at least giant ants can definitely crawl out.
Why are they still here?
Oh, no.
Ruger looked at the cracks carefully and found that the light he saw when he first entered this area did not come from there.
In fact, the light came from the pillars in the space.
In the upper part of those load-bearing pillars, close to the ceiling, there is a circle that circles around the pillars.
It is they that are constantly shining outward.
