The route to the underground base was very smooth. There were no ambushes or traps along the way. Other than the wormshit that filled the tunnel, there was nothing else.

From the exit to the resting area, everyone walked in the quiet and dark base. Everyone's tactical helmet turned on night vision, but the visibility was limited. From the helmet, it seemed as if there was no limit to the darkness in front of them, and they could only walk straight to hell.

They did not say anything. Although the communication channel was still working, everyone could only hear the faint breathing of the other team members from the channel. Then he mixed it with his own heavy breathing, forming a strange melody. However, this melody did not make people happy. Instead, it made them feel heavy. Just as the members of the vanguard team were under immense pressure from the endless darkness, Anthony suddenly raised his left hand, signaling the team to stop.

When the line stopped, the invisible pressure suddenly vanished like broken glass.

Anthony's gaze fell upon the messy dining hall. The metal cabinets blocking the entrance looked like temporary fortifications, and the countless bullets on the ground was a testament to the intense battle that had taken place here. Judging from the long and thin cracks on the wall, it should have been a masterpiece of the Scythe Worm. However, the multiple and chaotic slashes on the outside of the store required at least hundreds of Scythe Worms to attack together to achieve this effect.

The outside of the restaurant was filled with corpses. Most of them were from scythes and Green Tornado, but there were still some living corpses inside. Anthony was puzzled. It was already strange enough that a living corpse from the second floor would appear in the third floor. Strangely, they seemed to be in conflict with the Scythe Worm, and Anthony did not think that the living corpses were smart enough to create a defensive fortification.

From the looks of it, it seemed like someone was commanding them. However, there was no corpse of Team Zero in the dining room. This made Anthony feel slightly disappointed.

He gestured, and the procession moved on.

"It's very strange, at this time, there shouldn't be so many active scythe bugs, not to mention there's an elite monster like Green Tornado inside." Along the way, Lucca reminded Anthony.

A moment later, Anthony's voice rang in the communication channel, "It's alright, Zero and the others seem to have attracted a large number of bugs for us." Look, sometimes it's not a good thing to walk fast. "

His tone was light, but Luca could hear that Anthony was not pleased because there were no bodies in the dining room. Since there were no corpses, it meant that Zero was not dead yet. In other words, their team was still behind them.

Leaving the resting area, they passed through a long and quiet corridor and entered the biological breeding area. However, this place had already been occupied by the scythes, becoming their lair. The viscous liquid from the worm spread all over the ground. Countless broken wormpods appeared in front of the group along with its left and right sides. This place was filled with the smell of blood, the unique smell left behind by the scythe larvae in the air after they broke out of their shells.

Everyone in the vanguard team had a serious expression on their faces. After all, judging from the number of insect shells, there were at least a few thousand that were already born. From the looks of it, the insect potion was still in liquid form, and the bugs had just been born. The newborn larvae are starving and want to gnaw at anything they see alive. Just thinking of thousands of larvae rushing up and gnawing a living creature to death was enough to make even the bravest among them to feel numb.

Orlam was one of them. The man who looked like an iron tower felt his stomach become uncomfortable, and he felt like he was about to retch. Fortunately, he immediately controlled his Adam's apple and forcefully swallowed the thing that was gushing out of his stomach. Although it was disgusting, it was still better than being laughed at.

The others weren't in a good mood either. Walking on these disgusting bugs, even Anthony, who was usually calm, was slightly short of breath. In this harsh environment, Anthony had been constantly scanning the area. The range of the regional scan was a circle with a diameter of around 500 meters, with Anthony as the center. Within the scope of the ability, everything in Anthony's consciousness would appear as a three-dimensional model. If there was a sneak attack, Anthony would turn the other party from a sneak attack into a sneak attack.

However, regional scanning is not without its drawbacks; on the contrary, its drawbacks are obvious. Even though it was a three-dimensional scan using spiritual waves in the area of effect, the scanning height was limited. Even if Anthony used all his strength, it was still less than ten meters. This was not a problem in many cases. The problem was that the height of the base was not just ten meters. Therefore, when a drop of viscous liquid landed on the shoulder of sniper Betsy, the Night God Tactics suit, which could defend against most physical attacks, actually turned into a faint white mark by this unremarkable drop of liquid.

Betsy felt a slight heat on her shoulder and looked over at her own. A wisp of smoke was rising. Startled, he clapped his hand to his shoulder as more liquid dripped from above and dripped onto Betsy's hand.

Without a doubt, this liquid was extremely corrosive. After a few drops, the resin material on the surface of the skin had melted. The moment the skin was touched by the liquid, it looked like it had been burned by high temperatures, causing the skin to become red and swollen.

Bei Qi's shout caught everyone's attention. Anthony, who was walking in front, turned around just in time to see more liquid dripping from the darkness high up in the sky. It made Bei Qi's entire person emit green smoke from the melting of the battle uniform material.

Anthony's expression changed and he roared in the communication channel, "Up there!" Attack the ceiling, it's the infant Scythe Worm! "

As soon as he said that, Olam, who was standing next to Betsy, lifted his heavy artillery with one hand and pulled the trigger with an angry roar. In the next moment, the heavy artillery roared as it fired, spitting out flames that exceeded one meter in length. Bullets rained down from the sky, and under the illumination of the fire, the ceiling of the base was filled with the young of the Scythe Worm. They occupied every corner of the ceiling so densely that with a single shot Olam tore a dozen larvae to shreds.

The larva exploded and died, shards of its body constantly falling from the ceiling. At the same time, countless other larvae fell from the sky. They screamed and let go of the legs that clung to the ceiling. Suddenly, a rain of bugs began to fall over the area that was used for biological cultivation!

With a precise shot, Betsy blew up a larva along with its head and body. However, due to the limitations of the sniper rifle and the fact that Betsy didn't have the ability to fire multiple shots, she managed to kill a larva and at the same time, a dozen of them landed on his body. Betsy slapped at the bugs with her sniper rifle like crazy. She smashed the heads of the two larvae with the butt of her gun, but more of them ripped Betsy's flesh apart with their claws and fangs.

Finally, the runaway Betsy fired. After three consecutive shots, he fell to the ground without a sound. Through the bug's opening, half of his head could be seen to have been eaten empty, while the other larvae were trying their best to tear open his stomach, attacking the fresh flesh and intestines in his abdomen.

"F * ck!" With an angry roar, the heavy artillery swept over Betsy's body, turning her body into a sieve along with the dozen or so larvae that lay on top to gnaw on.

Lucca and Gale, on the other hand, were guarding Anthony's sides with their one-handed swords and hammers, killing the bugs that were constantly coming at them. As for Anthony, he was not idle either. First, he closed his eyes, and when he opened them, there were silver flames shooting out of the depths of his pupils.

In an instant, a formless wave of spiritual force swept out in a fan shape. Within 200 meters of the spiritual wave, the heads of the hundreds of larvae instantly turned into mush. They were still charging forward, but when they got close to the group, they all jumped down. From two hundred meters to five hundred meters, the worm that was attacked by the psychic power suddenly fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

After releasing the powerful mental attack with all his might, Anthony, who had overused his ability to use it, immediately spat out two streams of blood from his nostrils. However, he could not care so much. He shouted into the communication channel, "Run!"

They could not be bothered with Betsy's corpse. With Anthony's spiritual force, they opened up a path for them, and the vanguard team ran deeper into the training area. On the way, they passed a pile of strange corpses. There were seven butchers, and these giant living corpses were almost dismembered, but their huge weapons were stained with insect blood. As for the corpses, there were also hundreds of adult scythe bugs who died with them!

Looking at these butchers, Anthony's doubt grew.

In the wilderness, in the snow where the two Parkland killers had been fought in the Valkyrie. Streams of black electric currents were moving along the surface of the ground. As they continuously flowed and split, the fission of the dark elements in this area gradually came to a halt.

A pair of pitch black pupils with red concentric circles were watching the changes in the earth's energy. The pupil had a owner's short hair that was covered in mud. The blond hair that had once symbolized nobility was now dull and dull. Saurun, who had turned into a disorderly person, was lying on the snowy ground, completely disregarding the intense radiation from the snowfield and tightly wrapping around him.

The sequence of orders that he had subconsciously used to kill zero had arrived. With a slight invisible connection to zero, Saurun had bypassed the Jurian Mountains. However, he was forced to stop when he was quite close to zero.

The reason for this was because the energy within a thousand meters squared area was in disorder. If Saurun was still alive, he would know that it was caused by an explosion caused by the fission of a certain element. But now that he was dead, he didn't know if it was due to the power of the spontaneous combustion of the elements, but his instincts told him that whether it was humans or other creatures, this area was undoubtedly dangerous for him.

Saurun hesitated, the commands and instincts in his mind waging a fierce battle. In the end, the order overcame instinct. Just as Saurun was about to venture through the snow, the ground suddenly shook.

Just at this moment, a figure gradually appeared in the snowstorm in the distance. Someone was running in that direction, and every time this person landed, the ground would actually shake. After sensing the incomparably great strength contained within the trembling, Saurun's instincts instantly gained the upper hand. He ground his teeth, let out an unwilling growl, then turned around and left, disappearing into the endless snowstorm.
