Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

After waiting nervously for half an hour, the results of the aerial reconnaissance came.

The helicopter found nothing unusual on the island, but found a cave, which may be a lair of unknown creatures.

The failure of aerial reconnaissance naturally meant that Chen Xin and the others had to land on the island.

At this time, follow-up support also arrived one after another with the help of the Air Force's dispatch of transport helicopters, and a temporary camp was built not far from Junshan Island.

In the temporary command post in the camp, Chen Xin and others were analyzing the photos taken by the helicopter from the sky.

Because the island was also hit by a meteorite, the entire Junshan Island now looks more like the surface of the moon. There are several small pits around a large pit. Although it is covered with snow, you can still see the traces of the meteorite. .

On the wall of the big pit, there is a fairly obvious pothole. In this photo taken by a helicopter from the air, the black cave is indeed very different from the gray snow around it.

The cave doesn't look small, and it's slanted downwards. Even if the helicopter approached the entrance of the cave and shined it with searchlights, the cave was still pitch black, and it seemed to be quite deep.

"From the photos, the unknown creature obviously came out of this hole, and there should be more than one. There are many footprints around the hole. It doesn't look like it was left by a wild animal." Biologists who arrived later Looking at the footprints captured in the photo, I analyzed them seriously: "But it's strange, these footprints just walked around a few times before returning to the cave. Only one footprint leads to the outside. If it is a wild animal group If so, it shouldn’t be such a living habit.”

Regarding the biologist's doubts, Chen Xin just said to him: "What we are about to face is likely to be an alien creature. Analyzing it with the habits of earth creatures will only mislead our thinking, and I think this is probably nothing. Wild animals, but alien creatures with some intelligence."

"Does it have certain intelligence?" Hearing what Chen Xin said, the biologist thought for a while and nodded: "If it is an alien creature, then everything is unknown. We really can't use the biological habits of the earth. Go analyze it. But if that’s the case, we need more information, otherwise it’s just blind guessing here.”

"So we still have to go to the island and enter the cave to find out." Chen Xin knocked hard on the table, looked at the officer at the side, and asked him, "How much power can we use now?"

"There is a special forces team that has already arrived at the temporary camp. Academician, you brought a Titan combat team, plus an army aviation regiment. In addition, the Air Force can send an aviation regiment to bomb here at any time. The Rocket Army will also help us when necessary. Provide fire support." The officer did some calculations before answering Chen Xin's question.

Hearing that the officer said that so much force could be used at present, Chen Xin felt relieved. With so much power in his hands, even if it was really an alien invasion, the problem could be solved by direct strategic bombing.

But after thinking about it for a while, he still didn't let people bomb directly, but said to the officer: "Let the special forces and the Titans get ready, go to the island first to see what's going on, if you can solve the problem, don't bomb .”

The officer nodded, affirming Chen Xin's decision, but he also asked Chen Xin: "What if the problem cannot be solved?"

"If you are poor, you will use tactics, and if you are rich, you will..." Chen Xin clenched his right hand into a fist and smashed it directly on the photo and map in front of him: "Strategic bombing."

———————————————

With the issuance of the combat order, the temporarily dispatched special forces team was ready, and together with the eight Titans, they landed on Junshan Island and entered the cave that was discovered.

The space inside the cave is not small, at least eight Titans all entered the cave smoothly.

And as they gradually descended and penetrated into the interior of the cave, the height of the cave became higher and higher.

"This cave should be excavated on the basis of a naturally formed cave, and there are traces of excavation on the cave wall." After going deep into the cave for a while, Chen Xin and the others found many new clues.

"This is indeed the trace of excavation, but what was it used to dig it? There is no organ on the corpse of that creature that can dig the rock wall!" A biologist who kept in touch with Chen Xin captured it through Bailong Looking at the picture, I can't figure out how the creature digs. Its claws are obviously not designed for digging.

Chen Xin has some guesses about this, but he hopes that his guess will not come true, but he still said: "They are probably a social structure similar to ants and bees, with worker bees or worker ants. The creature that arrived may have played the role of a soldier ant."

"If this is the case, it can explain their strange behavior." The biologist nodded slightly, thinking about the probability of this possibility.

"Now I'm worried about whether the bombing will be effective. The hole is so deep that we should be under the lake now. I'm afraid the bombs won't get in." Chen Xin was worried about another thing at this time. .

"Academicians, you don't have to worry about this issue. The Air Force has already prepared ground-penetrating bombs, and the engineers are already preparing to blast at the entrance of the cave." The officer on the side said so, obviously they still have plans for certain things.

Hearing that engineers were preparing for the entrance of the cave, Chen Xin's worries did not ease.

After all, since this kind of creature, which is not yet clear what it is, can dig out this cave, it undoubtedly proves that they have the ability to dig. Simply blowing up the cave entrance may not be effective.

But it's useless to worry about these now. What's more important is to find the lairs that are basically confirmed to be alien creatures and find out what's going on with them.

As for how to deal with them, that's a matter for later.

As Chen Xin and the others went deeper and deeper, they finally discovered the lairs of those alien creatures, and everything that appeared in front of them left everyone dumbfounded.

Looking at the lair in front of him, Chen Xin finally understood why the creature he encountered had a body temperature of 105°C, because these guys actually dug out the magma directly, relying on the heat of the magma as their own energy source!

In the depths of the cave, a magma pool like a pool is filled with dark red magma, and a huge and bloated monster is lying beside the magma pool. The bloated body is almost translucent, emitting an ominous orange-red light .

And the same individual as the creature Chen Xin encountered before is entrenched around this monster, supervising other individuals that are slightly smaller in size and digging the cave.
