Wasteland Code Survival

Chapter 431: Purified Crystal

Qi Lin roughly estimated that the number of juveniles in this underground cave was about sixty to seventy. This was a force he could not ignore. In other words, if these juveniles attacked him together, he would probably Only turn around and escape.

The most important thing is that Qi Lin doesn't have much ammunition for the Gauss pistol.

Even if it can kill a larva with one shot, it is not enough. Moreover, it is still unknown whether these stronger larvae can be killed with a single shot.

The larva closest to Qi Lin lies on the edge of an underground cavity. It lay lazily on a pile of ore about half a meter high. The ore underneath it, in terms of size, quantity, or quality, is greater than that located underground. The larvae at the center of the hole are quite different-between the "dirty" and the "dirty", there is also a long-term status, or a distinction of strength. Those with low status and weak strength will naturally be Marginalization, although the resources obtained are more than those outside "concubine", but it is much less than the core "concubine".

Obviously, the juvenile in front of Qi Lin's eyes is in such an awkward position among the monsters.

Almost all the ore scattered around this juvenile body was snatched by its kind, and in this process, this juvenile body did not dare to compete with its kind.

For a moment, Qi Lin couldn't help feeling that this little guy was a little pitiful.

But it was just a moment of thought. You must know that the juveniles in the tunnel outside are worse than him, but when facing foreign enemies, they are still very fierce.

In order to enter this underground cavity, Qi Lin must first find out the sensing range of these larvae.

The juvenile bodies killed by Qi Lin in the tunnels outside have a sensing range of about ten to fifteen meters. This sensing has nothing to do with hearing, sight or even smell. Qi Lin feels that these monsters are likely to pass around the human body. The biomagnetic field, or the energy fluctuations emitted to find the target.

The larvae inside the underground cavity are much larger than those outside, and the sensing range of all these guys is more than 15 meters.

Qi Lin tried to get closer, about fifty meters away from the juvenile body.

no response.

Forty meters.

no response.

Thirty-five meters.

Still no response.

Qi Lin took another step. Just stepping into the range of 30 meters, the tentacles of the juvenile body that had been touching the ore around it suddenly stopped, stretched out into the air, and made a ready-to-go posture.

The sensing range is 30 meters, but judging from the maximum length of the tentacles of this juvenile body, although it can sense the existence of Qi Lin 30 meters away, it cannot attack Qi Lin 30 meters away.

It was waiting for Qi Lin to get closer.

However, Qi Lin's goal has been achieved. Even if he retreats back, the juvenile body immediately lost Qi Lin's induction, and the tentacles turned a few times in the air with some doubts, and then slowly dropped.

"The sensing range is 30 meters...but this is only the weakest among them, and the others are definitely more than 30 meters..." Qi Lin silently noted in his heart, pressed against the edge of the cave, and began to move slowly towards one side. .

According to Qi Lin’s observations, these larvae are not merely absorbing the radiation emitted by the uranium ore. In their abdomen, there are organs similar to mouthparts, which are constantly secreted. It produces a strong corrosive acid pus, which will corrode and dissolve the ore. Finally, these larvae will be swallowed by the dissolved mixture.

In addition to devouring bituminous ore containing uranium, in the tail of these larvae, there is another opening, which should be their excretion opening-every time the larvae will dispose of the waste residue in the dissolved substances Discharge from the excretory opening.

After observing for a while, Qi Lin chose a solitary juvenile in a remote location. The distance between this juvenile and other juveniles is more than 50 meters. Even if Qi Lin attacks it, it will not be affected by others. Perceived by the larvae.

Choosing the target, Qi Lin raised the Gauss pistol and pulled the trigger at the juvenile body!

The 2.5-millimeter-caliber electromagnetic bomb easily penetrated the front half of the juvenile body, and smashed one-third of its body into pulp. I saw the tentacles of the juvenile waving wildly for several minutes. , Lost all the strength and hung down, and the remaining two-thirds of the body also ended the convulsions and collapsed on the pile of ore.

Qi Lin looked at the other larvae around him, and found that none of these guys had noticed the death of this same kind, and they were still devouring the ore on their own. This was the cat's waist and walked to the killed larva. next to.

The larvae in the tunnel outside were too small in size, and the whole body was exploded when the Gauss pistol was shot down, and even a relatively complete body could not be left. Naturally, Qi Lin could not face the ground. The smelly and disgusting pus go to study carefully.

Looking at this half of the juvenile corpse, Qi Lin took out a tungsten steel dagger and began to dissect it.

However, it didn’t take long for Qi Lin to discover the problem-the juvenile blood is more corrosive than the adult monster. Although tungsten is a metal that has strong corrosion resistance, the tungsten in this tungsten steel dagger alloy The content is not high, the body of this juvenile body has not been able to cut much, it has been corroded and riddled with holes.

Tungsten steel cannot withstand the radiation of larval blood, and bone blades with calcium and phosphate as the main components are naturally even worse.

Qi Lin swept around everything on his hand, and silently took out the ceramic inserts from the body armor.

The main component of ceramic is silicon oxide. Like glass, this substance itself is an acidic oxide. It is difficult to react with strong acids other than hydrofluoric acid. Even if it is used to hold aqua regia, there is no problem at all.

Using a bone mallet to smash the ceramic bulletproof plate, Qi Lin selected a palm-sized piece of ceramic shards with sharp edges as a scalpel, and sliced ​​open the corpse of the juvenile.

This creature is really similar to a slug. The water content of the body is absolutely more than 90%. Among the large amount of liquid with pungent odor, Qi Lin can only find some tissues similar to hoses and better than fingernails. Many glands, as for many other organs, the ceramic sheet immediately turned into liquid after flicking, mixed with blood and tissue fluid, and it was impossible to distinguish it.

Qi Lin pinched the ceramic piece with two fingers and kept poking inside the corpse. He felt as if he was playing with a pile of stool... and, it was still sparse...

Just when Qi Lin couldn't bear this disgusting feeling and was about to give up, the tip of the ceramic piece suddenly hit something hard.

"Huh? What is this?"

Qi Lin's first reaction was that it was an ore residue that had not been completely digested, but when he picked out the hard object, he discovered that it was an emerald green crystal the size of a soybean. Although the crystal was small, The amount of radiation contained in it is comparable to a large pile of uranium-containing bituminous ore beneath the body.

Obviously, this is the essence of larvae purified from the pitch uranium ore——
