Extraterrestrial parasite - Chapter 480
c476 The Eve of Crisis (3)
After the first stage of the tunnel was detonated, the time it was blocked was much shorter than Chen Yang expected.
I originally thought that it would be able to block it for at least three or four hours, but only half an hour later, it was announced that the first stage of the passage had been completely excavated. Those greasy tentacles suddenly stretched out from the collapsed rocks, and they extended in just a few seconds. It came out five or six meters.
Seeing that the situation was critical, Zenobia had no time to report to Chen Yang and immediately detonated the second stage of the passage, blocking the unknown creature that had just broken through the rubble under the rubble again.
How long will this last?
Just combine the time and distance just now and it can be easily calculated.
“In other words, even if the lift tunnels are blown up by nine o’clock in the morning at the latest, they will be opened?”
Rubbing his temples, Chen Yang didn’t know whether he should be happy or have a headache at the current situation.
Happily, at nine o’clock in the morning, they had already evacuated two hours early…
The troublesome thing is, if we evacuate, we don’t have to worry about the invasion of these unknown creatures?
The earth may be big or small, but if a few of those creatures from the first parallel world really come here, no matter how big the earth is, there will be little room for it.
What’s more, that would definitely interrupt Andres’s entire development plan and bring about many uncontrollable variables, which is something Chen Yang never wanted to see.
But Zenobia didn’t think so much. After Weiwei calculated the time, she was very relieved, “Boss. The convoy is expected to arrive at around six o’clock. We can face it directly without thinking about it…”
“Things are not as simple as you think.”
Interrupting Zenobia’s words, Chen Yang waved his hand, “You continue to monitor the situation of the tunnel. If the tunnel is opened again, you don’t need to report to me for instructions. You can just blow up the tunnel at the corresponding stage.”
After receiving the order, Zenobia retreated, while Chen Yang could only continue to wait patiently for the arrival of the convoy.
If Chen Yang had known that such an uncontrollable accident would happen. He should have brought a powerful bomb, otherwise he would not be helpless… But he is not a god, so how could he predict such a situation? He is not a destructive maniac, so he can’t bring those small nuclear bombs everywhere. Carry level weapons with you.
In fact, as soon as a weapon of that level is manufactured, information is strictly blocked at all times. The number of people inside Andres who knew about this powerful weapon of destruction. There will never be more than five people, which shows how strictly he keeps the information.
The few hours of waiting time passed by in a normal way, but in the anxious state of mind, these few hours were not much different from passing by like years. Sitting still was an unbearable torture.
Compared to the well-informed Ryan and Zenobia, Chen Yang’s mentality was relatively calm, and he saw the tunnels being detonated in stages from time to time. Until the final lift!
Two X-335s were arranged every ten meters, and more than 180 of them were arranged in the tunnel of more than 900 meters up and down. The base’s inventory was almost used up before the arrangement was completed.
At this time, as the button was pressed, there were continuous loud explosions, and the tunnel with a length of more than 900 meters showed no resistance. Large pieces of gravel fell down along with the broken ice, just in a blink of an eye. The surveillance footage from the 12th to the 21st disappeared, leaving only the surveillance at the elevator exit that trembled for a while. It took a while to calm down.
The convoy will arrive in two hours!
Chen Yang couldn’t help but stood up and sighed, letting the steaming coffee on the table get cold.
The Antarctic underground ruins are indeed very precious in terms of archaeological value. It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that it is the world’s greatest wonder. Once it is announced, it will immediately shock the whole world.
But for Chen Yang’s value, this underground site is only reflected in the clues tracing the cube, and the archaeological value is not at all among his considerations.
So his sigh was only aimed at the missing cube.
After thinking about it, Chen Yang walked out of the base gate again and came to the entrance and exit warehouse of the tunnel in the snowstorm. He took a look at the completely buried tunnel opening and estimated that those disgusting and weird tentacles must be moving upward at this time. Digging, trying to crawl out from the depths of the earth.
Should we simply open the space-time channel of the first cube?
This crazy idea went around in Chen Yang’s mind, and was finally driven out of his mind.
Two unknown creatures from different worlds are fighting against each other. He doesn’t know who will win in the end, but if nothing happens, the earth will definitely be crippled… This move is tantamount to suicide, so he should not do it. It was better, otherwise they would really have no choice but to abandon the real world and escape to the second parallel world before they could build a spaceship.
…
Two hours later.
The convoy of more than a dozen vehicles successfully arrived at the base. Although it was difficult to travel under the attack of the blizzard, fortunately with the guidance and protection of modern technology, the convoy was not lost on the Antarctic continent, and not even a single vehicle was damaged. , I have to say that luck is indeed very good.
“Everyone got in the car immediately and got ready to go.”
During the radio broadcast at the base, Ryan kept giving orders, asking everyone to get in the car and prepare to evacuate immediately after cleaning up.
The time given to everyone is only fifteen minutes!
Before that, what had to be done was not only arranging people to get on the bus, but the arrival of the motorcade also brought something else to Chen Yang.
The burning temperature of incendiary bombs temporarily made from thermite and thickened gasoline can reach 3000 degrees Celsius. Compared with ordinary bombs used to hinder those tentacle monsters, these incendiary bombs can burn for more than half an hour. Absolutely It’s something more powerful than a bomb.
Cans of incendiary bombs were carefully transported from the car, and then carried into the warehouse by the Alpha team. They were placed next to and around the entrance and exit tunnels, and the induction devices were connected so that they could be remotely controlled at any time.
After testing that there was no problem with the remote control, Chen Yang inspected it again and nodded with satisfaction.
“Boss, everyone has already gotten on the bus. Do you think… should you go first?”
Standing outside the warehouse where the wind and snow blew, Ryan walked over despite the heavy snow and reported to Chen Yang.
“Well, is there any problem with the antenna test distance?”
“No problem. The snowstorm is still weakening now, and the links within a hundred kilometers will not be greatly affected.”
“That’s good.”
Chen Yang turned around and left, “How is the situation going at the base?”
“The self-destruction device is normal. According to the original design plan, it will definitely not leave any effective clues.”
Ryan said confidently.
The world doesn’t pay much attention to Antarctica, and the reconnaissance satellites in the sky almost never pass by here. However, precisely because of the sparse population, Andres works here, like fireflies in the dark, but accidentally… It attracted too much attention from some forces.
In order to prevent the incident from being exposed and attracting investigations from various countries and certain forces, the entire temporary base has actually been equipped with self-destruction devices. If something goes wrong, it can be detonated and destroy the entire base immediately.
Thus burying the truth under ashes.
But Chen Yang never expected that the day when the base would activate its self-destruction device would come so quickly, and that it would not be destroyed because of the enemy, but by an unknown creature from another world.
“Very good. Since everything is fine, let’s evacuate immediately.”
Entering the command snowmobile, there are more than a dozen screens densely packed including the remaining surveillance of the base and the surveillance at the warehouse. It can be seen that the base is empty and deserted, which is completely different from the previous lively scene.
We got on the bus around 6:30 and started to evacuate around 7 o’clock. The oncoming blizzard continued to weaken. An hour and a half later, the convoy had arrived more than 70 kilometers away. At this time, the sirens suddenly sounded, dozens of miles away. In the tunnel entrance and exit warehouse kilometers away, dozens of tentacles were suddenly pulled out from the collapsed rubble, waving and surging out!
“coming!”
Looking at the surveillance video footage, Ryan’s expression tightened.
“It seems that the estimate was wrong, half an hour too early.”
Chen Yang looked heavy and said without hesitation: “Start the incendiary bomb!”
“yes.”
A radio wave was sent out. At the speed of light, the distance of more than 70 kilometers was just an instant. Almost at the moment when the remote control command was input, the incendiary bombs arranged around and inside the warehouse suddenly exploded into a large area. Sparks, extremely hot burning flames, immediately filled the tentacles that swarmed out.
“Chichichichi…”
Just like throwing raw meat into a frying pan, under the high temperature of more than 3,000 degrees Celsius, it is difficult for any creature’s body to resist. At a speed visible to the naked eye, the greasy tentacles that first rushed out were infected with the fiery heat. The flames were like ice encountering fire, being burned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
“It really works!”
Chen Yang’s eyes lit up, and there was a hint of joy in his heart. If the incendiary bombs were really effective, then he might be able to find a way to deal with these unknown creatures!
Unfortunately, Chen Yang still thinks too much.
“boom!”
What kind of quantity is this?
The densely packed tentacles surging out were so numerous that it was difficult to distinguish individual ones with the naked eye. The crowded and entangled tentacles were like hot springs rising into the sky. They suddenly broke through the roof of the warehouse and scattered all over the ground.
Even more violent were the tentacles that emerged from the surroundings. They were no different from the arrival of a flash flood. The high-temperature thermite was obviously still working, but under the impact of the surging tentacles’ “flash flood”, they were immediately swept away. , buried under the boundless torrent of tentacles.
“hiss……”
Everyone in the command car watched this scene and took a deep breath. Only then did they realize that the tentacles seen in the ruins were not even one-tenth of what they were at the moment. (To be continued ~^~)
