The Triangular Protective Device can not only withstand violent impacts but also isolate breath.
But this thing’s protection is limited.
If they want to survive, they must pretend to be dead objects, like dolls or model displays, and cannot move.
The Insect n erged from all directions, so nurous it was terrifying.
Liu Xun grabbed Hu Ping’s arm in fear, and Wu Qingqing pinched his other hand.
Hu Ping grimaced, "Don’t pinch, I’m terrified too!"
An Insect Man passed overhead, and their hearts leaped into their throats.
Praying, don’t let them be discovered, don’t let them be discovered.
"Ah." A piercing scream ca from nearby.
The Insect n rushed over there.
The sound of flesh and bones being torn apart, the sound of chewing with relish, seed just inches away.
They imagined terrifying scenes in their minds, their stomachs churning as if an invisible giant hand was stirring the gastric juices.
One person was devoured by the Insect n, and a second was excavated.
The corpses, still warm, were not spared by the Insect n and beca their food.
The surrounding life was rapidly decreasing.
The three of them truly experienced the horrors of the Insect n, as if they were in hell.
They felt a profound discomfort in their hearts. Worse yet, they were powerless.
Isn’t there any way?
They looked at Su Xiaocai, who didn’t seem to notice. In such a situation, rescuing people wouldn’t be any different from courting death.
They didn’t know how many Insect n there were.
Even though Su Xiaocai had ntioned dealing with many Insect n, that was only when they were clustered together.
The location of the Mother Body was unknown, the status of the warriors leading behind them was unclear, and even the cha technology was so far behind.
Considering all this, Su Xiaocai could only rationally choose to hide.
The fate of those outside was irrelevant to her. The survival of Wu Qingqing and the others was her primary concern.
Su Xiaocai gestured to them, signaling them to stay silent and still.
The "treasure hunting" behavior of the Insect n continued.
At this mont, a slender tentacle reached in along the window, brushing past the Triangular Protective Device, leaving behind a trail of disgusting sli.
It explored slowly, not sensing any lifeforms, before retracting the tentacle.
Wu Qingqing’s legs trembled with tension.
"Click," the door near the Triangular Protective Device suddenly opened.
A bloodied person crawled out.
His eyes were filled with terror, and upon seeing Su Xiaocai, he couldn’t hide his delight. Monts before, he had been complaining about their intrusion into his life, but now they seed like a lifeline to him.
He reached out his hand, "Help, save ."
Su Xiaocai twitched her lips, more afraid of a foolish rescuer than a foolish teammate.
She firmly pressed down on the three behind her, preventing them from moving.
The mont the rescuer made a sound, it sealed his fate of being unsavable.
The Insect n turned back upon hearing the sound, attracting even more of them.
Everyone inside clearly saw the huge eyeball at the window, with a very tiny mouth under it, letting out a laugh similar to a human’s sinister chuckle.
In this setting, it was especially dark and terrifying.
"No, help , I beg you, aren’t you soldiers? How can you stand by and watch soone die..." The tentacle of the large eyeball wrapped around the person, dragging him out.
The rescuer cried out hysterically, "You won’t die a good death, you’ll end up just like , ah ah ah... go away, go away..."
A long suction tube extended from the small mouth of the large-eyed Insect Man, stabbing into the human skull as if piercing tofu, and began sucking.
All three gritted their teeth, watching the scene, their eyes bloodshot with fear.
The emotion of fear was suppressed, giving rise to hatred.
They must not be cowardly, they mustn’t retreat; they must drive them away.
The Insect n behind dared not compete with the large-eyed Insect Man for food, so they squeezed into the house, patrolling inside, and ca to the Triangular Protective Device.
They curiously examined the Triangular Protective Device.
One of them clawed at it, revealing countless tiny holes in the tentacle, concealing hooks within. If clawed, the equipnt might even lose a layer of shell.
The Insect Man looked at the "model" inside the Triangular Protective Device, agitatedly tapping the device, but the "model" inside remained motionless.
Its walnut-sized brain couldn’t grasp why it couldn’t smash this thing, just losing interest.
Lingering for a mont, it left the house, heading upward.
No one knew how long they’d been waiting when the noises outside completely disappeared.
Wu Qingqing and the other two could no longer stand, collapsing to the floor.
Su Xiaocai carefully took out Wisdom 03, "03, scan results."
Wisdom 03 quietly scanned the surrounding environnt, "Master, you are temporarily safe. Within a radius of two kiloters, there are no Insect n."
"How deep are we?"
"Six thousand five hundred ters below the surface of Huangyang City."
"This deep?" Wu Qingqing whispered, "Should we go up? How can we, with all those Insect n?"
Su Xiaocai was also pondering; it was a good chance now. The Greed and cowardly Insect Warriors were rampaging on the surface, giving her an opportunity to find the Mother Body.
If the Greed returned, it would be hard to have such a chance again.
But could Wu Qingqing and the others go with her?
"You..." Forget it, Su Xiaocai didn’t want them involved, "You stay here for now, wait a while, I’ll send you a signal, then you can go up and et Ji Heng and the others."
"What about you?"
Wisdom 03 replied, "The underground space has been mapped out and is passable for the cha."
"Of course, I’m going to kill the Mother Body." Su Xiaocai opened the Triangular Protective Device and stepped out.
"I’m going with you too. With along, at least you have soone to collect the body." Wu Qingqing’s statent successfully broke Hu Ping’s emotional barrier, "Just afraid you’ll hold us back, and then we won’t know who to call to collect the bodies."
"Going out now, we might die as well." The overwhelming Insect n, they would pursue relentlessly for food, even escaping to outer space wouldn’t help.
So Greed could fly, survive in space, monsters among monsters; there were too many, they couldn’t defeat them.
Liu Xun said earnestly, "Sister Cai, maybe we’re better off following you, the survival rate is higher."
Su Xiaocai: "We’re going to kill the Mother Body, it’s even more dangerous."
Liu Xun had prepared for the possibility of military death since joining the cha Departnt, "Not afraid, even if I die, I want to die a hero. If you all make it out alive, rember to spread the word for ."
"Pah pah pah, don’t talk about dying, we can all live." Hu Ping also felt better off following Su Xiaocai but stayed calm, "Are you sure you can kill the Mother Body? We don’t have much weaponry."
Su Xiaocai asked once again whether they were planning to go with her.
"Yes." The three nodded unanimously.
Su Xiaocai handed them a Space Button, "This will be your backup cha."
Wu Qingqing recognized it as Su Xiaocai’s personally modified military cha, "Your cha as our backup, what will you use?"
Their thoughts all aligned, wouldn’t it be that ugly cha?
Seeing through their thoughts, Su Xiaocai rolled her eyes, "Do you think I’m an idiot?" The primitive cha wouldn’t last a few rounds even against the Major’s ch, let alone against the Mother Body.
"Wisdom 03 will also be lent to you. You can treat it as your Navigator."
Wisdom 03’s round do raised two tallic cat ears, speaking flatly, "Hello, rookies. I will be your navigator. Don’t panic if you encounter problems. If you die, I will mark your body locations."
All three: "..."
The tense atmosphere evaporated instantly.
This navigator embodied Su Xiaocai’s style; once it spoke, there was no arguing.
The three boarded the cha, while Su Xiaocai took out Xiao Wanzi, "Xiao Wanzi, switch to combat mode."
Xiao Wanzi cheerfully replied, "Okie-dokie! I hope Brother can help Caicai through the tough tis."
After speaking, Xiao Wanzi fell silent, its tallic do opening at the top, launching out a round blue orb.
The orb floated up, drifting beside Su Xiaocai, maniacally shouting, "Ha ha ha, I can fight again, co on let’s fight."
"Keep your voice down."
Wisdom 01’s voice lowered but retained its manic tone.
Finally, Su Xiaocai was willing to reveal her secret cha.
