The surroundings of the underground beasts' caves were already barren to begin with. Because when those exotic beasts first appeared, the various gases they brought out had already turned the surrounding plants into sand or withered. There was no vitality, no plants, no animals, only barren land that had been destroyed.
But this situation did not last long before it stopped. After the exotic beasts left, the poisonous gas no longer appeared in the cave. Therefore, the surrounding vitality that was swallowed was only within a few hundred meters, beyond this area, it would return to its original state.
However, the mist that gushed out this time carried a purplish-red star that spread around with the wind. The scope of the mist was not just within a few hundred meters. It quickly spread to a few hundred meters away, up to a thousand meters away, and was still spreading outwards.
"It's that kind of energy gas in the underground space. This kind of energy is very vicious and overbearing. If it doesn't stop, I'm afraid it won't be long before all the vitality on the ground will be swallowed clean. " Kong Qingming had been to the underground space in Haicheng base before, so he recognized the mist when he saw it.
"It's not easy to block those cave entrances. The gas is also very harmful to humans. If you want to get close, you have to make preparations first." Wu Chengyue frowned slightly.
He didn't know how the poisonous energy gas came out from tens of thousands of meters underground!
"And if we want to block the cave entrances around the base, we have to get rid of the underground exotic beasts on the periphery of the base first. Those low level ones are easy to deal with, but it depends on how those high level ones deal with them. "Xiao Yunlong was also frowning at the side, searching for a way in his mind with a serious expression.
"According to the speed at which the poisonous energy gas is spreading, if we don't block it as soon as possible, it will spread to our base in less than a month." Wu Chengyue thought for a moment, then said, "And rather than blocking it, it's better to disperse it. Blocking it is only temporary."
Since they couldn't think of a way to completely resolve the poisonous energy gas, they could only temporarily block the cave entrances. But there were only so many caves in the country, they couldn't block all of them. Especially since there weren't many people in the southwest and northwest. Now, it would take a lot of manpower and time to send people over.
The speed at which the gas was spreading was not fast, and the closest to Haicheng was dozens of kilometers away. Therefore, according to Wu Chengyue's calculations, their base would be covered by the energy gas in a month's time.
"Could it be that something happened to that level nine exotic beast in the underground space? Because when we were down there, Chief Lu said that the Level Nine fellow seemed to be able to control these energy gases. " Kong Qingming thought for a long time with a sullen face, and suddenly remembered what Lin Qiao had said when they were underground.
It was just that Lin Qiao's tone at the time wasn't very certain.
Wu Chengyue, Xiao Yunlong and the others all turned to look at him, "It's related to that level nine beast again? But aren't these gases formed because of the environment? "
Kong Qingming expressed that he wasn't sure either. "I'm just guessing. Perhaps we'll have to ask Leader Lu herself. She was close to that level nine exotic beast before. "
Wu Chengyue and the others were silent for a while, thinking that they should indeed call Lin Qiao back to discuss.
"Wait a minute, you're saying Leader Lu stayed close to that level nine exotic beast? You weren't discovered? "Xiao Licheng, who had been silent all this while, suddenly looked at Kong Qingming and asked.
Everyone: "…"
The most frightening thing was that the air suddenly became quiet …
So, if she could come and go freely next to a level nine exotic beast, it didn't make sense that she would be discovered in front of Sikong Chen? One must know that the perception of an exotic beast was stronger than that of a human, not to mention that it was a level nine exotic beast!
Lin Qiao herself couldn't have not thought of this situation!
Could it be … she was pretending?
Xiao Yunlong turned to look at Wu Chengyue and asked him, "What do you think she's trying to do? Is she deliberately delaying Sikong Chen? What's her intention? "
Wu Chengyue looked at him in silence, his face expressionless.
Could he say that he didn't know what she was up to?
Because she hid and didn't come out, everyone thought that Lin Qiao was afraid of Sikong Chen. And at the same time, it gave Sikong Chen the illusion that she had been trapped.
But what was her intention in doing this?
"Does the Universal Life Base know about this situation? They should know about it, right …? "Xiao Licheng asked, but he hesitated for a moment.
After all, they were her people, they should know what she was planning?
So Wu Chengyue immediately sent people to the Universal Life Base to inquire about the news. Lin Feng and the others expressed …
"Huh? Is that so? That is to say, the leader is just pretending to be trapped there. But her movements are actually not restricted? "Yuan Tianxing looked at Lin Feng, Lin Feng looked at Lin Wenwen, and Lin Wenwen also looked at him.
Everyone had a blank look on their faces.
"It seems that she didn't even reveal any information to you guys. If you want to hide from the enemy, you have to first deceive your own people?" Seeing their reactions, Xiao Licheng somewhat understood Lin Qiao's actions.
"She made Sikong Chen think that he was the only one there and she didn't dare to come out. Her first goal is to delay Sikong Chen there … But there is only one advantage to doing this, and that is, we don't have to deal with his own attacks for the time being. Is it so that we have spare energy to deal with those underground beasts? "Lin Feng understood Lin Qiao better and guessed the possible motive of her doing this.
"But why? If Sikong Chen wants to go out, then the first thing he will deal with is your Sea City. We don't have to worry too much … "
"The leader of Green Mountain Base is currently in Ocean City. If Sikong Chen can't take over Ocean City, then he can't do anything about it. If Sikong Chen can't take over Sea City, he will definitely turn around and deal with our base! "Lin Wenwen suddenly said.
Lin Feng and the others immediately fell silent.
Lin Wenwen was right, it seemed that Lin Qiao already knew that Sea City would go to Blue Land to ask for help. This way, Sikong Chen would definitely not be able to do anything to Sea City, but he could turn around and deal with the Universal Base next to it.
If Wu Chengyue wanted Dong Xiaowei to defend the Universal Base, then he would have to give up Sea City.
But Lin Qiao understood Wu Chengyue, he wouldn't give up on the human survivors in Sea City. So if he knew that Sikong Chen was going to make a move, he would probably bring the survivors to Sea City to take refuge.
And that was what Wu Chengyue did. As early as a few days ago, the ordinary humans in the Universal Base had already been quietly moved to Sea City. Now, Lin Feng and the others were all metahumans and soldiers, as well as the zombie army at the second base.
"Maybe she's delaying for time, waiting for an opportunity? Could it be that she already knew that there would be movement in the underground space? Is this what she's waiting for? "Xiao Licheng concluded as he looked at the others.
