Chapter 16: Alien TrapIn the dim mud, Qin Fu's gaze moved downward along the ground beneath his feet. After a closer look, he discovered that they were two strange rats. Qin Fu muttered to himself. (“Harm Transfer”) The two strange rats instantly turned into mummies in the dark mud. However, even though the two strange rats had been completely eliminated, Qin Fu's sinking speed did not slow down. In less than five seconds, a huge, unfathomable cave appeared under Qin Fu's feet. He fell as if from a skyscraper, continuously accelerating. ("How could Xiang Yalu be so cunning? It turns out he wants to pull me away from the battlefield!") Qin Fu was thinking. As Qin Fu continued to fall, the white pioneer badge he was wearing suddenly made a crisp sound. "Ding Ding Ding" Qin Fu slowly picked up the phone. It was Lao Guang on the other end of the line. Lao Guang asked anxiously: "What's the situation at the scene? The signals of China's pioneer warrior badges have all disappeared. What happened?"
Qin Fu calmly replied: "There are about 100,000 exotic beasts at the scene, and about hundreds of 'pioneers'." "What? Hundreds of thousands?" There was sharp surprise in Lao Guang's voice. "Yes, more than 100,000 of them. It will take some time to eliminate them, but it's not a big problem." "There are hundreds of thousands of exotic beasts, why does it sound so quiet over there?" Lao Guang asked puzzledly. At the moment when Qin Fu was about to fall to the ground, he responded calmly. "I don't have any strange beasts here, but I'm in a falling state." "What?" Lao Guang's voice just fell. Qin Fu fell directly into a cave 500 meters deep. "Boom" Qin Fu's body had suffered a severe fall and his bones seemed to have been shattered. "Qin Fu? Qin Fu? What's going on?" Lao Guang asked anxiously. In a short moment of less than two seconds, Qin Fu quickly recovered his life. "It's okay. I'm underground now." "Underground?" Lao Guang asked doubtfully. "I've been pulled underground. I'll let you know if there's anything new." "Okay, if anything happens, please notify me immediately!" After Qin Fu hung up the phone, he turned on the light on the badge to illuminate the darkness underground. Under the light, Qin Fu looked up in the moist cave, but the end of the cave ceiling could not be seen, as it was swallowed by darkness. Based on the time Qin Fu spent falling underground, about ten seconds, he estimated that the deep hole was at least five hundred meters high.
Qin Fu carefully observed the situation inside the cave, his eyes wandering in the depths of the cave. On one side of this cave is the portal to an alien planet. There are dozens of passages extending towards the direction of the alien planet, like endless tunnels with no end in sight. Qin Fu's gaze turned to the other side of the cave, the direction leading to the human world, where there were also dozens of passages. The scale of these passages was shocking. Each passage was more than ten meters high and five meters wide. It was obviously dug to allow those huge alien beasts to pass freely. Two meters above the alien planet passage, Qin Fu witnessed the bottom of the [Boundary Gate]. The structure of this [gate] extends from the ground to underground. Obviously, this design is to prevent sneak attacks from alien races. However, what is shocking is that the alien rats can dig burrows more than 500 meters deep. ("From this, it can be inferred that on the day of awakening, the alien rats should have gone directly from here to the school.") As Qin Fu continued to explore the damp cave, he unexpectedly observed numerous footprints of strange beasts on the ground. These footprints were of many kinds and shapes, and seemed to indicate some abnormality. "Eh?" Qin Fu couldn't help but murmur in confusion, as if a key guess flashed through his mind. At this moment, his white badge rang again. It was a call from Lao Guang. "Ding Ding Ding" "Qin Fu, have you found the exit?" "Not yet, but I've noticed something unusual here." "What did you find?" Lao Guang asked in surprise. "I noticed a lot of footprints of strange beasts on the cave. If I'm not mistaken, they have already set out towards the human race." Qin Fu continued. "what do you mean?" "You have fallen into the aliens' trap!" "Trap?" Lao Guang asked in surprise. "First: The goal of the alien race is to attract pioneers from all over the world to come for support, so after destroying the 'gate', they released a large number of alien beasts with the aim of annihilating the 'pioneers' in one fell swoop." Qin Fu explained. "Second: They used the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain!" Qin Fu continued. "A plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain?" Lao Guang's voice was filled with deeper doubts. Qin Fu continued his analysis. "The real purpose of the aliens may be to delay time and lure the pioneers to gather at the 'Boundary Gate'. In this way, the defense of other parts of the earth will be weakened, or even left unguarded, and the aliens can easily break through the defenses of various countries." "This is impossible. How can they travel to various countries so quickly?" Lao Guang's voice was full of confusion and disbelief. Qin Fu did not answer directly, but explained to Lao Guang in detail all the details he observed in the cave, including the distribution characteristics of the footprints. "If my guess is correct, the aliens have quietly moved towards the human realm through the underground passage." Qin Fu reminded Lao Guang again. After listening to Qin Fu's analysis, Lao Guang was silent for a moment, obviously thinking deeply. Lao Guang asked anxiously: "Do you have specific information about which area of China the aliens are currently heading to?" "I don't know."
"So, do you know which country the aliens are heading to now?" Lao Guang asked again. "At present, we should give priority to dealing with China's problems. As for the situation in other countries, don't worry about it." Qin Fu responded coldly. "I will deal with the domestic situation first. I will immediately contact the Chinese soldiers who are going to provide support. However, if they cannot get support, Jin Yan and her team may all be sacrificed." Lao Guang responded with a hesitant tone. "Whether they get support or not, Jin Yan and the others will sacrifice themselves." Qin Fu continued to express himself firmly. "Unless I'm here."
