The scene before them was more shocking than the photo.
A gigantic crater mouth extended fan-shaped into the earth.
From the crevices of the crater walls, thick dark purple liquid continually seeped out, the vapor of which ford a toxic miasma, filling the entire pit.
Nurous vast openings were chiseled into the crater walls, like the ferocious teeth of an abyssal beast.
And yet...
This was a pit without Life Ghosts.
All Life Ghosts had been taken to the Force Field, capable of forming this scene; one can only imagine how terrifying the pit within must be.
Countless technical personnel in sealed protective suits operated instrunts amidst nervous communications, recording energy fluctuations and pit changes.
Logistical personnel rushed around pushing various ergency supplies and heavy energy units.
Staff wearing combat uniforms with different city insignias orderly entered the pit entrances without Life Ghosts in batches, according to maps and instructions.
Everything was efficient, hurried, oppressive, suffused with the unique atmosphere of smoke and death before a great battle.
This was the frontline of human civilization against Life Ghosts.
Fang Qingyu and others were led to a temporarily constructed command platform.
A Tier Three Profound Realm military officer wearing a combat uniform with the Songdu Divine Administration Bureau’s eagle insignia spoke rapidly, issuing tasks to these newly arrived support squads.
Behind him, a gigantic light screen projected an extrely complex holographic map that was continuously updated.
That was the current structure map of the imnse pit nest within the Force Field that had been explored.
Nurous passages intertwined, forming a huge maze of blood and flesh.
On the map, many areas were marked red, indicating extre danger, while deeper areas were entirely black, marked with massive unknown question marks.
"Your current mission, codena ’Sweep’!" the military officer’s voice was sowhat muffled through the mask’s transmitter, yet carried undeniable authority.
He distributed an electronic map with the latest updates and marked permissions to each squad individual’s tactical tablet.
"The core objective is to scout and map the nest pathways within the designated area! Mark channel fork points, main tunnel directions, possible hidden nest locations! Simultaneously, make sure to mark the type and scale of the Life Ghosts distributed along the way! The map has a shared marking function, upload any discoveries imdiately! This will provide essential support for subsequent large-scale sweeps and tactical decisions!"
His piercing gaze swept across everyone, solemnly warning: "Rember! Do not attempt to fight large Life Ghost groupings! Your mission is reconnaissance, not assault! If you detect group formations or hard-to-handle targets, report coordinates through the internal communication channel imdiately, call for nearby Sharp Blade Squad support! Our personnel density in the lower pit tunnels is high, support will arrive quickly, don’t try to be a lone hero!"
At this point, his tone slightly softened, still carrying an undeniable authority, reassuring everyone:
"Additionally, rest assured! The ’Molting Level’ main intelligent Life Ghost dwelling deep within the pit may be powerful, but it has long been suppressed by ’Mountain Splitter’ Chen Tiejun and can’t move from the deepest areas! As long as you do not approach deeper layers, there’s no need to worry about encountering it! It is presently overwheld, having no energy to project Power onto the outer pit tunnels to interfere with you!"
Subsequently, a deputy stepped forward, opening a sealed tal box neatly filled with hundreds of sealed gel capsules.
"All first-ti pit entry support personnel, each take three Poisonous Miasma Pills!" He distributed them while quickly explaining, "The ’Corpse Miasma’ within the pit is extrely toxic, able to erode Qi Blood Power and paralyze nerves! This special dication should only be taken one at a ti! Each pill’s effect lasts about three hours! Rember clearly! Three hours is the limit! You must co out or consu another in an absolutely safe area when ti’s up! If the effectiveness duration is exceeded or disrupted by external forces, consequences are at your own risk! Understand?"
"Understood!" Fang Qingyu and others replied in unison, carefully storing the light blue small pills.
"Good! Dismissed! Enter from the designated entrance according to the terminal allocation! Good luck!"
The military officer waved his hand.
The task was clear, but the pressure did not abate in the slightest.
Surveying this massive complex maze of flesh and blood, confronting unknown quantities of insidious, poisonous Corpse Seed Life Ghost groups, every step could be a dead end.
Fang Qingyu quickly opened the tactical terminal, confirming the entry coordinates allocated to his squad.
Located on the northwest side wall of the pit, an auxiliary pit entrance marked as "D-7."
"D-7 entrance, follow ."
Fang Qingyu concisely instructed Qin Hui and others, turning to walk towards the area shrouded in purple miasma on the edge of the pit.
Qin Hui, Old Qiao, and others imdiately followed, Jiang Wei too trotting close beside Fang Qingyu.
The closer to the edge of the Force Field, the more intense and pungent the sweet, decay-like sll wafted through the air, and the ground beneath seed to carry an uncomfortable sticky feeling.
The invisible "Corpse Miasma Force Field" resembled a massive, cold purple-black bubble, isolating the inner and outer worlds.
At the edge.
Various sensors and energy barrier generators were being anxiously set up by logistical personnel in protective suits.
Just as Fang Qingyu took out the distributed "Poisonous Miasma Pills," preparing to distribute them and take one, a clear, calm voice suddenly echoed from the nearby area shrouded in the shadow of a giant alloy panel:
"Fang Qingyu."
Fang Qingyu’s heart stirred, he turned his head to look.
He saw Wei Banng had unknowingly already quietly stood a few steps behind them.
