After catching this mutated rust eating insect, Fang Linyan was taken aback. He found that Rancott had already slumped to the ground, and his pupils were actually scattered.
He was taken aback. He immediately went over to check on Rancott and found that his vital signs were rapidly dissipating. He hurriedly performed first aid, but he found that it was useless. He died completely after 2 minutes.
Such a variable really surprised Fang Linyan.
Goat took off Rancott's clothes and checked him, but he found that there was a burnt brown bloody mark on his back. Around the mark, there were 7 or 8 deep scars.
Obviously, this mutated rust-eating insect had been parasitizing his back and paralyzing his nerves, so he was unaware of it.
Not only that, but the monster's six long steel legs had also pierced deep into Lamcott's body, controlling his life. It could even subtly influence his actions, just like how an iron nematode controlled a mantis' actions.
After being sprayed with special insecticide, this mutated body directly bounced out and escaped. It must have severely damaged Rancott's internal organs, causing him to die instantly.
To be honest, Fang Linyan and Goat really didn't think of letting Rancott die. In their previous imagination, the mutated rust eating insect should be hidden in Rancott's soles, pockets, boxes and other places.
They didn't expect this guy to be so cruel. It directly parasitized Rancott's body and killed him as soon as it left.
In this way, the only 2 researchers, Rancott and Mocky, died at the same time, which caused a very awkward situation.
The materials and information obtained by Fang Linyan and others during their exploration were all in the hands of the researchers!
Those video materials and documents were all placed in a thumb-sized USB flash drive. Fang Linyan and others belonged to the Armed Forces Department of the Dakland Company, which was completely different from the research department.
According to the regulations, the people of the Armed Forces Department couldn't inquire about any research department at all, otherwise it would be a violation of the rules.
So to put it bluntly, their harvest after entering the underground Veronica Base, or to be more precise, the harvest that was useful to the Dakland Company was almost gone.
Goat searched Rancott's body and sighed regretfully,
"I don't know where they put the USB flash drive. What a pity."
Fang Linyan shook his head and said:
"Before we came back, they were besieged by people from Cambuio. At that time, they must have been panicking, so they must have hidden the USB flash drive with important information."
"Then, the two of them had a conflict, and there was no chance to get the USB drive. Under such circumstances, it would be very difficult for us to find the USB drive that was deliberately hidden."
"Let's go. It's good enough that we were able to catch a Mutant Rust Eater. I just used [Transcendent Insight] and it showed that it was an Unknown Mysterious Item. So what if we didn't get any results? Didn't Delto make it clear? His previous contributions are enough for him to be promoted. "

A few minutes later, the two left the underground nuclear power plant and went back the way they came.
That's right, it was the same path that they had taken to enter the underground lake.
This road was rebuilt by the Blood Umbrella Company using the underground rift valley. Fang Linyan still remembered very clearly that the two actually encountered a ghost train underground. The one driving the train turned out to be a dead man.
At that time, although Fang Linyan pretended to be calm, he still felt his scalp tingling and his heart was a little cold. However, he knew that he couldn't panic. Once he panicked, it would be even more troublesome if Goat lost his backbone.
At this time, the two returned to the old place, but they stopped halfway. They climbed directly to the top of a large rock next to them, which was close to the suspension track at the top of the cave.
The purpose of their visit at this time was actually to wait for this ghost train.
About 10 minutes later, they heard a rumbling sound. The somewhat terrifying ghost train appeared from the darkness again and drove directly over.
Fang Lin and Yan Goat looked at each other, then they immediately stood up and waited. Then, when this Ghost Train drove to the side, the 2 of them jumped over at the same time, grabbed the handle on the side, and jumped directly into the carriage.
It could be seen that the inside of the carriage was empty. There were no seats or anything like that, or it could be said that they had been directly dismantled. The inside of the carriage was very dirty and wet. There were leftover gravel and mud everywhere, and all the carriages had been opened up like a subway. Only a baffle was welded to the back of the driver's cab.
Not only that, after they got on the carriage, a thing like an alarm with a red light floated over from a distance. It said in a strange synthetic voice,
"Warning, warning again, please identify yourself, otherwise the procedure to deal with intruders will be activated."
Fang Linyan immediately said loudly,
"Don't be nervous, baby, long live Thurbolton!"
Hearing Fang Linyan's words, the red light in the alarm began to slowly switch to yellow light, then it continued to use a mechanical synthetic voice,
"Who are you?"
Goat immediately said,
"We are the loyal servants of Master Kuntasha!"
Hearing this answer, the alarm stopped flashing. It stopped talking and flew away directly. It seemed that it acquiesced to their existence.
At this time, Goat and Fang Linyan looked at each other and walked toward the front of the train.
To be honest, when they saw the skeleton driver driving this mysterious train out of the darkness, they were really shocked. Now that they came to this thing, of course, they had to get to the bottom of it.
After the two came to the cab, they did see a skeleton driver sitting on the driver's seat.
However, he just sat there without moving. Perhaps the special protective clothes on his body kept his bones intact, preventing them from breaking apart. However, in the end, it was just a skeleton. It had nothing to do with the word 'driving'.
This train was completely controlled by artificial intelligence!
After traveling for about ten minutes or so, the Ghost Train slowly came to a stop. In the distance, they could see a strange and huge machine that was roaring. It looked like a mixture of a mixer, a crusher, and an excavator.
After the ghost train approached, a thick and long leather pipe was pulled up from below and violently pushed into the back of the carriage for several meters.
Immediately afterward, this thick and long leather pipe with a diameter of more than 2 meters squirmed and began to spray a large amount of fine soil and sand into the carriage. Fortunately, there was a baffle behind the cab, otherwise, the 2 would definitely be like mud monkeys after a while.
After most of the carriages were loaded with fine soil and sand, the ghost train started again. This time, it drove back to the road back.
After driving for about half an hour, the ghost train began to stop slowly, then it began to unload the sand in the carriage.
Its unloading method was also very special. The baffle behind the cab was slightly tilted, then it slowly pushed toward the rear like the bucket of a bulldozer.
Because most of the carriages were wet sand, and the body of the carriage was still in the position of the front and the rear, it was quite convenient to unload.
After Fang Linyan and Mountain Goat saw this scene, they directly jumped off the ghost train. Because this was already the "terminal station", the good time of hitchhiking was gone.
Goat took out the map from his arms, carefully identified the direction, then said to Fang Linyan,
"Go this way."
The two of them quickly disappeared into the darkness.
***
What's going on with all this?
This started with a thing that Fang Linyan discovered before.
That was, he found that the water level of the underground lake had dropped a lot compared to more than 6 years ago. The underwater dock built by the Blood Umbrella Organization base about 15 meters deep in the underground lake was now 3 meters above the water surface.
The mastermind behind all this was none other than Guanglun who was loyal to Pumas.
In the beginning, Guanglun definitely knew everything that the people of the Blood Umbrella Company did, but the superiority of the higher intelligent life made it not take it seriously.
It was like an explorer who found that there were a few birds flying in and out of his camp. The first reaction might not be to chase them away, but he might even throw some leftovers to them.
What's more, in the heart of Guanglun, this group of humans of the Blood Umbrella Company was an out-and-out low-level life. They might not be as important as the birds in the hearts of humans …
However, when the group of people of the Blood Umbrella Company broke in without permission and even opened the Five-Faced Monster Box, it made Guanglun feel a sense of crisis. After all, the meaning of its existence was to eliminate dangerous factors as much as possible and ensure the safety of its master.
In this case, Guanglun designed many sets of defense plans. The plan chosen in the end was extremely powerful. It was confident that even if the sound wave came back then, it could resist for half an hour.
However, the biggest problem in implementing this plan was this wide and deep underground lake!!
Water was actually a very rare resource on other planets, so all the equipment and weapons used in the defense plan arranged by Guanglun were not waterproof!
Or it could be said that when these things were designed, this aspect was not considered at all.
In this case, Guanglun could only find a way to drain the water of this underground lake first.
However, after exploration, this underground lake was the lowest point within a radius of dozens of square kilometers. It was equivalent to the bottom of the basin. The geological structure was also quite stable. It was almost impossible to drain the water directly.
In desperation, Guanglun could only think of another way. If it couldn't drain the water, it could stop the water from coming in! This was the strategy of taking drastic measures.
