But at this moment, the sandworm in Rubus' mouth looked very different from the ones outside:
It was thin, small, and dry. The patterns on the outer skin were also different. At this time, after being held in Rubus' mouth, it drooped down like noodles. It looked completely dead.
Next, Fang Linyan continued to walk forward and found that almost all the sandworms below were like this. They were abnormally thin and weak. Some were even only the length of chopsticks, but their temperament was very fierce.
But after Rubus bit a few to death, the rest simply retreated into the sand and didn't dare to come out.
Obviously, the sandworms here should be wild species. They were a kind of semi-mutated creature that appeared after being irradiated by the previous Pumas. Then, the Blood Umbrella Company discovered them and modified them to guard the desert outside.
"Huh? Why is the bloody smell so strong over there? "
It turned out that at this time, Rubus had already activated the smell visualization effect in order not to be sneak attacked by the sandworms. Fang Linyan looked through the night vision goggles, and he could see a large black and red fog in the distance. This meant that the bloody smell over there was extremely strong. It even covered an area of thousands of square meters.
After careful identification, it should be the location of the dock when the underground lake was still there. The submersible was also parked in that area, so Fang Linyan let Ao's Embers go over to take a look. Of course, this time he was very careful not to get close to the ground. As a result, he found that there were a lot of bones and incomplete corpses piled up there!!
Just when Ao's Embers flew over, a truck drove over. The shape of this thing was similar to a garbage truck.
Then it drove to the underground lake in the past, next to the underground basin today, then the carriage rose automatically. The trunk door opened directly, and the corpses inside fell down like rain.
Looking carefully, only a small part of the corpses inside looked like humans. Most of them had sharp teeth and claws. They were twisted, mutated, and terrifying. They should be the failed experimental products of Veronica's laboratory. They fell directly into this dry underground lake.
At this time, a few sandworms that were obviously much fatter pounced on the fresh corpses and feasted on them.
Some of the wild sandworms at the periphery wanted to approach, but they were driven away by their stronger and thicker companions. Obviously, these wild sandworms were not united, and there was a sense of hierarchy. Only when the larger wild sandworms were full did the others dare to approach.
These wild sandworms acted as cleaners here. They acted as a scavenger community and dealt with the corpses in Veronica's laboratory.
As for the laboratory that provided food, they would come to hunt the big ones among the sandworms regularly. After all, their spines could also be used to extract precious metals like "Bathurst Steel". No matter how small a mosquito was, it was still a piece of meat.
For Veronica's laboratory, these wild sandworms could not only help clean up the corpses, but they could also be used to refine metal. It was a cost-effective arrangement.
After figuring out the arrangement, Fang Linyan became bolder when he acted. After all, this place had become a corpse dump. Presumably, no one would come here usually, so he continued to go down to the bottom of the lake and came to the place where Pumas' huge body stayed in the past.
Of course, all that was left of this place was a huge pit! But he could also vaguely see some large parts and other things scattered in the huge pit.
After Fang Linyan half-knelt on the ground and took a closer look, he was shocked.
It turned out that on the soil here, there were a large number of crawler tracks left! This kind of track seemed to be caused by a large number of construction machinery.
As far as Fang Linyan knew, although the artificial intelligence belonging to Pumas: Desini had the ability to build large-scale projects, it couldn't get so many construction machinery. Otherwise, its excavation progress would not be so slow.
Not only that, when Pumas came to the earth, in order to avoid the pursuit of the enemy behind, before falling into the atmosphere, it also attached the UA and Russian space stations in low-earth orbit. The satellites were used as its own armor to provide a defensive buffer.
So when it landed, it seemed to be huge in size, but most of it was just a shell composed of space stations or satellites. At this time, these "shells" were also scattered at the bottom of the lake.
Combining these situations, Fang Linyan could basically infer the tragic experience of Pumas in this world … Probably no contractor could trigger the hidden mission to clean up the rust poison in its body and alleviate its symptoms, so Pumas' vitality persisted and dissipated. In the end, it should be dead.
As soon as it died, the two artificial intelligence lives attached to Pumas: Nimbus and Desini, were probably like trees without roots and water without a source. They couldn't organize much resistance.
Therefore, under the Blood Umbrella Organization's relentless exploration, the place was finally captured by them. Valuable items such as the wreckage of Primas were directly transported away, such as the space station that formed the outer shell. Backward technological products such as satellites were of no value to the Blood Umbrella Organization, so they were directly abandoned there.
Fang Linyan even further inferred that the rapid development of artificial intelligence in this world might be due to the research results obtained after the capture of the two artificial intelligence lives: Nimbus and Desini.
Fang Linyan searched inside these shells, but he didn't find anything valuable. He originally wanted to see if he could pick up some scraps and see if things like the Five-Faced Monster Box would be left behind. Unfortunately, the shrewd Blood Umbrella Organization didn't give him a chance.
After sighing in disappointment, Fang Linyan thought for a while and felt that he was probably going to return empty-handed. His trip was in vain. However, if he thought about it carefully, the benefit of coming here was that he was certain that Primus really existed, or had once existed in this world.
That was to say, it was basically certain that the tinder on the moon existed! According to the news sent by Oumi, the side mission could still buy him 2 or 3 days. If he was lucky, then it was not difficult to prepare for landing on the moon in these 2 or 3 days. After all, the advantage of being a contractor was that he didn't have to think about how to return from the moon.
Just when Fang Linyan was about to leave, he always felt that something was wrong, or it was ignored by him! When he saw the "Ember of Mystery" next to him, he suddenly realized one thing.
How did I summon "Ember of Mystery"?
It was because the previous mechanical spear falcon was destroyed by the burst of pulse wave.
But the source of this pulse wave came from the instinctive twitching of Pumas' mechanically activated heart! That meant one thing! Although Pumas was fished out from the bottom of the lake, he was not dead yet?
Thinking of this, Fang Linyan's heart suddenly moved. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense.
The pulse wave emitted by Pumas' mechanically activated heart was extremely powerful, and the coverage area even reached hundreds of square kilometers. It created a small Bermuda area here.
The military value of this thing could be said to be unimaginable. If he was in charge of the research project, he would definitely not let go of the research on this thing.
Since this was the case, it was still worth exploring after confirming that Pumas was in this base!
Obviously, if Pumas was still alive, he would definitely be very dissatisfied with his current state. After all, no matter who it was, being researched was not a pleasant thing.
Then rescuing him must be a hidden side mission. Not only that, Fang Linyan felt that he could also get more details about the moon base and the ultimate secret of the world from him.
After thinking about it carefully, Fang Linyan took a deep breath. He already had a plan in his mind. After all, Veronica's laboratory was familiar to him, although he experienced all this in another dimension.
So Fang Linyan identified the direction and walked directly toward the underground lake — the east side of the underground basin. According to his previous experience, it should be the energy supply area of the entire Veronica's laboratory, a nuclear power plant!
Although it was a different world at this time, it was the huge and mysterious Blood Umbrella Organization that occupied this place. The choice made by them should be close.
Moreover, the terrain here was extremely remote. It did not have the strength to transport large amounts of fuel in and out. The underground water source could not support the operation of the hydropower station, so obviously, the nuclear power plant was the best solution.
Sure enough, Fang Linyan quickly found through the 'Ember of Mystery' flying in the air that the lifeless place in his impression had become brightly lit. It seemed that although there was a sentry at the gate, he seemed absent-minded.
