Chapter 325 - 325 We're All Food

325 We’re All Food

After a short battle, Anthony’s team…

Anthony’s team was completely wiped out!

The newly appointed field team leader had not managed to last more than a week in his term.

The lizards dragged these people’s bodies and silently pulled them into the depths.

Wang Ran and the others only popped out of the corner after the footsteps had gone far away.

“That was terrifying…

“I think these people were all rank-five Awakened Ones, but they didn’t even last a minute…”

Zhao Qi started to panic and thought of retreating.

This mutated lizard was much more powerful than the mutated sand rats he had dealt with before…

If it was him just now… It would definitely be the same outcome.

“This mutated lizard has a thick hide and dense musculature. It’ll take a lot to force to hurt them.

“However, judging from the situation just now, they’re stronger than they were during the day…”

“Such adaptation speed…”

Lin Liye sighed.

Originally, he could still take on three to five of them alone, but now it seemed that even two would be difficult.

For rank-five Awakened Ones like Lin Shuang, Zhao Qi, and Zhang Guozhu, they could only think of ways to defend themselves. They did not have the room to think about killing the enemy.

“Captain Lin, we… Should we continue deeper?

“Why don’t we just plant the explosives here?”

Zhao Qi suggested.

A proud son of heaven like him absolutely didn’t want to die Here.

“No!

“This isn’t deep enough. At most, we’ll blow up the top part, but we won’t be able to cause much damage to the lizard matriarch below.

“We have to press on…

“Zhao Qi, Guozhu, y-you guys can take Lin Shuang and leave!

“Leave the task here to us,” Lin Liye said after some thought.

They were too weak, and if anything happened, it would be difficult for them to protect themselves.

“No! I’m not leaving!

“I still have to avenge my brothers!

“I’m not strong enough, but I can provide support!

“When you guys are fighting, I can throw a few flashbangs, shoot at their eyes or something!” Zhang Guozhu anxiously said.

He wanted to see the big lizard die with his own eyes. Only then would he be able to face Long and the others.

“Dad, I’m not leaving either!

“You said that only by constantly putting yourself in danger can you advance in battle.

“I want to become stronger. I don’t want to be some flower vase!” Lin Shuang said with a determined attitude.

After that, Lin Shuang and Zhang Guozhu turned to look at Zhao Qi at the same time.

‘We’re just waiting for you to make your stand, little brother.’

Zhao Qi’s heart trembled, and he almost cried.

Just now, when Lin Liye told them to turn back, Zhao Qi’s mouth had stretched so wide that it almost reached his ears.

This was the leader’s order. He was just obeying it, nothing more!

But who would have thought that Zhang Guozhu and Lin Shuang would be so courageous…

All the pressure was on him now.

If he were to sing the opposite tune at this time, he would never be able to raise his head in front of Lin Shuang and Lin Liye in the future.

“I… I… I’m not leaving either.” Zhao Qi said weakly.

He had no choice.

“You guys… You’re indeed soldiers of our country!

“Alright, let’s charge into the hell-hole together today!”

Lin Liye’s chest seemed to swell with pride.

He was more pleased with his daughter’s choice.

The group continued forward.

Not long after, rustling sounds came from the passage.

“Not good, it’s a mutant sand rat!

“They’re not very strong, but they’re very agile. They usually move in groups.

“Everyone, prepare your flash grenades.”

Lin Liye reminded the team.

Wang Ran took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on.

“You’re still acting cool at this time?”

Zhao Qi curled his lips in disdain.

Suddenly, a strong light flashed.

“Ah! My eyes!

“Who the f*ck threw a flash grenade without saying anything?!”

Zhao Qi covered his eyes in pain.

The flash bang had been right under his feet, and he almost went blind.

Fortunately, he was an Awakened One. He would probably be able to recover in less than 10 seconds.

“I’ve never used a flash bomb before. Let’s give it another go.

“I’m sorry!”

The corners of Tang Tang’s mouth curled up slightly.

“The sand rats are here!”

Wang Ran’s words caught everyone’s attention.

Everyone pointed their flashlights to the front.

Not far from the passage, more than a dozen sand rats, each the size of a domestic dog, rushed toward the group.

“Not good, they’re getting bigger!

“They’re definitely stronger now. Everyone, be careful!”

Lin Liye warned the group.

Wang Ran calmly picked up a flashbang and flung it.

Su Xiaoyu rushed forward with the grenade in mid-air.

The moment the grenade landed, Lin Liye and the others quickly closed their eyes. They did not want to compromise their sight.

In just a few seconds, Su Xiaoyu sprinted through the crowd, using her sharp claws to tear the mutant sand rats into pieces.

Su Xiaoyu was known for her speed and reaction. Even with her eyes closed, she could still fight in perfect condition.

“Ah! What?!”

When Lin Liye and the others opened their eyes, they were all shocked.

The sand rats… They were all dead?

They were all in shock…

These sand rats were bigger than the ones they had seen before, which meant they were stronger.

In just a few seconds, all of them had been killed!

This woman was so scary…

The God of War, Lin Liye, for the first time in his life, felt… so weak.

“What are you waiting for? Let’s go.”

Wang Ran took the lead and strode forward.

He had been wearing his sunglasses just now, so he had clearly seen Xiaoyu’s movements.

‘Not bad, not bad. You have grown stronger than ever.’

The current Xiaoyu was a top-tier existence, even among Zombie Monarch.

Lin Liye and the others recovered from their shock and immediately followed them.

The back view of Wang Ran and the three girls instantly became extremely tall in front of them.

If Su Xiaoyu alone was already so strong, then the four of them…

It looked like the mission this time was in the bag!

The group fumbled around the passage for a while before coming to a rectangular stone room.

As soon as they entered, they were greeted with a strong smell of blood and decay.

Under the intense lights of the flashlight, the scene in the stone room was displayed in front of everyone.

Corpses! They were all corpses!

All of them, without exception, had a bloody hole in their chest.

It looked like their hearts had been dug out.

“Ugh…”

Lin Shuang couldn’t stand the smell and the scene. She held onto the wall and almost vomited.

Lin Momo went up and touched Lin Shuang’s back.

“What are these mutated creatures trying to do?

“Do they have the habit of collecting corpses?!”

Lin Shuang complained.

“No, I’m guessing that this is where they store their food.

“The heart seems to be a delicacy for them.

“We shouldn’t be far from our destination.”

Wang Ran stepped over the corpses and continued to walk forward.
