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.
