Real Cthulhu Running Game

Chapter 503 Entering the Mist

Liu Xing doesn't want to say anything about Lendl yet.

"Now we are really in trouble. After all, these trees have grown wildly, so the animals on Jekyll Island must have grown a lot too." Liu Xing said.

Zhang Jingxu nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, since Jekyll Island is a research base of the Ancient Ones, some data should have been calculated from the beginning, so the data of these trees and the data of animals match each other. After all, if those small animals want to kill large beasts, the best way is to sneak attack."

This is very scientific.

"In this case, we will soon encounter a group of rabbits that are bigger than pigs. This is exciting to think about, but again, we can really defeat these animals called animals, but they are actually monsters. Something?" Ishikawa Ling said helplessly.

To be honest, Liu Xing's current thoughts are the same as those of Ishikawa Ling. The animals on Jekyll Island can now be described as monsters. If they are allowed to be seen by outsiders, in a few days, they will be seen in all major social circles. News will circulate on the platform that England is conducting mysterious research on Jekyll Island, and animals have grown exponentially.

Of course, it is possible to blame the nuclear explosion. After all, as long as animals mutate these days, there will always be people who think it is because of the nuclear explosion.

At this time, MiG suddenly said: "Actually, we don't need to worry too much about the animals on Jekyll Island. Although we have not conducted research on the animals on Jekyll Island, according to the ancient Siris, Jekyll The animals on the island all exist to create a kind of biological weapon, so I think the ancients at that time did not set too high intelligence on the monsters on Jekyll Island. After all, the Shoggoths' lessons learned are still there. Leave it alone.”

MiG's words made everyone enlightened, because MiG was very right. The animals on Jekyll Island should not have high intelligence. It is even possible that the animals on Jekyll Island have no intelligence and just carry out activities according to predetermined procedures. , this is of course due to the Shoggoth rebellion. The Ancient Ones will definitely be worried that the newly created biological weapons will stand up to resist their rule like the Shoggoths, and judging from the strength of these animals on Jekyll Island and the Shuggoths, Comparing the strength of the Guts, it is not difficult to see that the Ancient Ones are really scared of the Shoggoths and no longer dare to let the animals on Jekyll Island gain stronger strength.

Of course, it is not difficult to see from here what the Ancient Ones hope for the Synthetic Beast—a multifunctional war weapon that can be mass-produced.

So since it is a "mass production machine", there is no need to design it with too much intelligence, as long as it can fight.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing suddenly felt that the animals on Jekyll Island were not too difficult to deal with. Anyway, since they were invincible, they had to be outmaneuvered.

The reason why humans can stand out from animals is that they have learned to use their brains instead of relying solely on brute force.

"Mig, you are right. In fact, I carefully observed those animals during the short expedition yesterday. I found that the intelligence level of those animals is indeed not high, because they completely rely on instinct, or in other words, according to their instincts. The Ancient Ones set them up to carry out various actions at the beginning. Among them, I guess there must be this one - attack the enemy closest to you, because I saw a goat chasing a wild boar because a goat passed by. The goat was next to the rabbit, so the goat turned directly to attack the rabbit." Booker said seriously.

Zhang Wenbing nodded and said: "In that case, it is very simple for us to deal with these animals on Jekyll Island. We only need to set some traps. Mr. Booker, you should be able to provide me with some Please give me some guidance."

Booker chuckled and said seriously: "Of course. Although I was a military doctor when I was in the army, I was also exposed to a lot of knowledge about traps. After all, our enemies are definitely better in terms of weapons and equipment. They can’t catch us, so they can only rely on these traps to cause us trouble.”

So, after Booker finished speaking, he went to the utility room to look for trap materials that he might use.

"Well, our first goal now is to hunt a few small animals. After all, our food is almost at the end; then naturally we will look for the animal retreating grass, and then go to the research facilities of the ancients, because with our With our current strength, there is no way to push the stranded yacht back into the water, and we have also lost contact with the outside world, so if we want to leave alive now, we have to find the ancient one. I believe it should be able to take us away." Zhang Wenbing said with a sigh.

Liu Xing nodded and said: "In fact, we can now confirm that the research facilities left by the Ancient Ones are near the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, or in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain. The reason is very simple. The reason why Jekyll Island is It became what it is now because of those thunder and lightning that struck the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain."

"But Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain is not easy to get to. After all, Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain is located in the center of Jekyll Island. If we want to go in, we have to cross at least two or three terrains. If there is no retreating beast grass, we will definitely encounter various kinds of terrain. There may be more animal attacks, so our focus is still on finding the animal-repelling grass." Zhang Wenbing sighed.

But Liu Xing had an ominous premonition when he thought of those thick fogs that Rendell mentioned.

It seems that this beast-repelling grass is not easy to get.

Liu Xing sighed, frowned and said: "But having said that, since great changes have taken place on Jekyll Island, it may not be as easy for us to get the beast-repelling grass as before, so..."

Liu Xing did not finish his words, leaving Zhang Jingxu and others time to think freely.

The living room suddenly became silent.

After a while, Booker returned to the hall, holding a big bag in his hand, "Uh, what's wrong with you? Were you silenced by some mysterious force while I was away from the hall?"

Liu Xing shrugged and expressed his thoughts.

"I see, it is indeed possible, but I think this is not bad news for us. After all, before I came to Jekyll Island, I had already prepared to face something like the Corpse Cult. Enemy, so now we are just dealing with a group of mutated animals with well-developed limbs and simple minds. I don’t think there is anything to worry about." Booker said seriously.

Although Liu Xing disagrees with Booker's words as a "player", as a "person" Liu Xing still has to express his support.

So Liu Xing said with a smile: "Booker is right, we just need to deal with a group of mutated animals now. These mutated animals will not cause any trouble to the Corpse Cult, so don't worry too much, as long as we are careful, There shouldn't be any surprises, after all, we suppress the intelligence of those mutated animals."

Zhang Jingxu and others all nodded, and the atmosphere finally became lively.

So, after Liu Xing and others finished eating, they came to the ground with all kinds of usable equipment.

Of course, MiG stayed in the underground camp due to inconvenience, but MiG was not idle either. Although the mechanical parts on his body had aged, some basic transmission parts could still function, so MiG's power was still It was quite good, so Booker asked MiG to transform the scrapped firearms in the utility room into some cold weapons.

For example, the katana specially ordered by Rei Ishikawa and the hand crossbow ordered by Booker.

When they came to the ground, there were only three old-fashioned shotguns that could be used, so Liu Xing and Ling Ishikawa opened the way in front with machetes.

Liu Xing originally planned to get an old-fashioned shotgun, but he didn't expect that Zhang Wenbing was also a veteran. Although he only served in the army for two years after entering college, Zhang Wenbing's marksmanship was still quite good.

As for the action route of Liu Xing and others this time, they moved along the coastline. Although Liu Xing and his party were worried about the gerbils lurking on the beach before, now because the gerbils are too "expanded", the sand is already There's no way to cover these gerbils.

Therefore, gerbils have become the best prey in the eyes of Liu Xing and his party, because it is easy to find them, and as long as they keep a good distance, these gerbils will not pose much threat to their party.

Most importantly, according to Booker, the gerbil still tastes pretty good, even if it looks a little less than ideal.

Ever since, everyone began to look for traces of gerbils on the beach.

Soon, Liu Xing and others discovered a gerbil. Although the gerbil was still in the sand, the raised sand dunes were too obvious.

"Leave it to me, let you see how good I am, who was known as the sharpshooter back then." Zhang Wenbing said confidently.

Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile: "No problem, Brother Zhang, you will fire the first shot, but Zhang Jingxu and Booker, you must remember to help Brother Zhang with the rifle."

Zhang Wenbing snorted unconvinced, then raised his gun and took aim, and three seconds later he pulled the trigger.

Along with the sound of bullets coming out of the barrel, there was a sound of dice falling to the ground.

The bullet accurately hit the dune, and then a gerbil with a broken tail sprang out from the dune.

"Uh, I don't seem to be able to distinguish the head and tail of this gerbil..." Zhang Wenbing said with some embarrassment.

But at this time, the old-fashioned shotguns in the hands of Booker and Zhang Jingxu also began to show their power, and the gerbil was directly shot in the head.

Of course, there was another shot on the beach next to the gerbil.

Zhang Jingxu scratched his head and said with a smile: "As expected, professionals are better. Booker, you are much more accurate than me."

Booker shrugged and said, "No, no, no, Zhang Jingxu, you are just a little unfamiliar with old-fashioned shotguns. Moreover, these old-fashioned shotguns are also old, so it is normal for the calibration to be inaccurate."

After exchanging business blows, Liu Xing and others came to the gerbil.

As Liu Xing and others speculated before, the gerbil, which was originally only the size of a palm, has now become almost the size of a small watermelon.

But this is also a good thing, after all, this is meat.

In this way, Liu Xing and others killed six gerbils on this beach, and then saw a fog.

The fog on Jekyll Island looked similar to the fog created by deep divers on the coast of England before. It was like there was a white curtain in the middle, making Liu Xing and his party unable to see clearly what was going on in the fog.

"It seems that the animal retreating grass should be here." Liu Xing said seriously.

Zhang Jingxu and others nodded, but they also began to look embarrassed.

Although everyone knows that the beast-repelling grass is in this fog, no one knows what else is in this fog besides the beast-repelling grass.

Therefore, Liu Xing and his party don't know whether they should enter this fog to find out.

"What should we do? Should we enter this fog? But I don't think this fog exists specifically to tell us that there is an animal retreating grass here." Zhang Jingxu said with some worry.

Liu Xing thought for a while, nodded and said: "We have to go in, because if there is no animal retreat grass, we will definitely not be able to get close to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain and enter the research facilities left by the ancients, so even if there is danger in this fog, We also have to go in and find out!”

"So, should we arrange for one person to go in first to explore the way? Or should we go in together directly?" Ishikawa Ling said.

Everyone fell into silence again. . .

Obviously, if there is danger in the fog, if one person goes in, the risk factor will be extremely high, but if everyone goes in, the group may be destroyed.

After a while, Liu Xing made up his mind and said, "Let's do this. I will go into the fog alone to take a look. If there is any danger, I believe Sirius can help me resolve it."

Of course, Liu Xing did not expect Sirius to help him at this time, so Liu Xing's biggest reliance now was the identity he obtained from the ancient fortress underground in Fisherman Village.

Now I can be regarded as "one" among the ancients.

Seeing Liu Xing volunteering, no one else could say anything, so in the end it was decided that Liu Xing would enter the fog.

However, for the sake of safety, Liu Xing was tied with a circle of hemp rope, and it was agreed that when Liu Xing entered the fog and did not come out for more than ten minutes, Zhang Jingxu and others would pull Liu Xing out. . . If it can still be pulled out.

After being prepared, Liu Xing took the old-fashioned shotgun from Zhang Jingxu's hand, then took a deep breath and walked directly into the fog.

But what Liu Xing didn't know at this time was that the moment he walked into the fog, the hemp rope tied around his waist was blocked from the outside of the fog!

In the mist.

Liu Xing looked at the huge statue of the ancient man in front of him and was speechless for a moment.
