While everyone was still in shock, Xue Ba ordered with a shake of his beard, "All members of Team B, gather at full speed. Snipers, back us up!"
"Roger, we'll be there in four minutes," Yang Henan, the leader of Team B, answered quickly. "Let's go."
"Captain, the rocks have completely sunk," Lin Mo said seriously. This change made him want to point his middle finger at them. The rocks were fine when they looked at them, but when Gu Jun looked at them, they exploded. What kind of scientific theory was this?
They were all looking at the entrance of the underground tunnel, wondering where it led to.
"Ah Jun, what's going on? What did that sentence mean? "Xue Ba frowned, and his sharp gaze carried a warning. Don't play any tricks.
Even though he knew something would go wrong with this mission, Gu Jun was still surprised by this change. Many thoughts flashed through his mind, but none of them coalesced. Seeing Captain Xue's suspicion, he did not mind. Phecda had just been tricked by the Afterlife Cult, and his background was so sensitive.
Now that something like this had happened, Captain Xue's suspicion was reasonable.
"The eternal slumbers are not the dead." Gu Jun finished his sentence. "In the strange eons, even death will vanish."
When the group heard this, they felt a chill run down their spines …
"Hmm, how is that possible?" Xue Ba was shocked. Seeing the confusion, he said hurriedly, "Don't you know? Oh, this is the information of a Level D clearance … This is an emergency, so it doesn't matter. This is a poem by the Mad Arab, Abdallah Alhazad. He once dreamt of a place called the Nameless City. It was a ruined city deep in the desert. I'm serious! If you don't believe me, you can look it up when you get back. Oh, you don't have the clearance! "
The big man wanted to scratch his head. Actually, no one doubted Captain Xue's knowledge; the frown was due to surprise.
"Who is the Mad Arab?" Gu Jun was even more confused. He had dreamt of it? He had dreamt of the big banyan tree in Gu Rong Village.
"There's not much information, but it's an ancient legend. It is said that he wrote a book called 'The Necromancer', but no one has ever found it. "
After Xue Ba said that, regardless of whether the signal could still be transmitted or not, he continued to report to the command central. "Command central, this is Xue Ba. Gu Jun said that the line of foreign text is a poem by the Mad Arab Abdul Alhazad … We suspect that this place is related to the Nameless City."
"Damn," Lou Xiaoning muttered. Lin Mo shook his head and sighed. "What's going on? I shouldn't have studied science in the first place."
"What is it?" Uncle Dan tried to lighten the mood. "This kind of dream is still a bit lacking. The one where I dreamt of Lin Zhiling was the real thrill." But the group was no longer in the mood to laugh.
An ancient legend? Gu Jun stared at the dark entrance thoughtfully, but he still couldn't figure it out.
That was definitely not a coincidence. He must have triggered some sort of mechanism, but how? Did anyone understand that line of foreign language? Someone recited silently? Like Open Sesame? But after he said it again and repeated it a few more times, nothing happened. He didn't understand ….
Four minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and the members of Team B arrived safely. The video they had captured earlier was still blurry.
But Xue Ba had already removed the mask of the protective suit. He used the binoculars to take a good look. The withered tree had collapsed, and the original entrance had disappeared.
Xue Ba ordered the group to set up a defensive position next to the entrance. They planned to stay there for now.
Inside this high wall cage, there was no vantage point or hiding spot. If an abnormal enemy appeared, like from above, they might need to retreat into the tunnel. Of course, the monsters might come out from the tunnel, so two members were assigned to guard this spot.
Since the air here was breathable, there was no need to worry about oxygen, but the water and food would only last them for a week.
Now was the time to test Xue Ba's intelligence …
Should they enter the tunnel to explore? Or should they use the C-4 to bomb a certain spot on the wall?
But in the previous thickness tests, they had measured one thousand boulders, but the thickness of the wall could not be determined.
"Don't you guys feel like … something is watching us?" Uncle Dan suddenly asked. "I'm not joking, I'm not trying to scare you, it's just my instinct."
"Yes, I feel that too," Lin Mo said with a frown as he scanned the ground with the life detector radar.
Yang Henan, Zhou Yi, and a few other members also shared the same feeling. Even though the surroundings were quiet, it felt like something was hiding in the dark …
Gu Jun gripped the mini submachine gun in his hand, and the anxiety in his heart increased.
The other reason for his anxiety was because the system mission list for that day was as follows:
"Normal Mission: Complete an emergency rescue today. Mission Reward: 1 box of human brainstem tumor-targeting drug
"Difficult Mission: Complete two-star surgery (success) within three days and accumulate a personal contribution of 150 percent. "Mission Reward: 1 Carlop Brand Scalpel
"Abyssal Mission: Complete the autopsy of 1 zombie within one week. "Mission Reward: Unknown
Gu Jun already knew that the system missions were closely related to his life, especially the normal and difficult missions. They often had conditions to complete.
But now, he did not wish for that condition to appear …
Thinking back to the surgery yesterday, Gu Jun turned to look at the blackened wasteland and asked, "Captain Xue, could there be something underground? Something like a subterrain giant worm? "
"Lin Mo, is there any movement on your side?" Xue Ba asked.
Xue Ba asked. Lin Mo was still scanning the ground with the life detector radar. "No … but I can't guarantee anything. You guys know something is wrong here …"
Before he finished, the ground under his feet exploded, and his words turned into a scream of pain. "Ah!"
Gu Jun's heart skipped a beat. Less than 10 meters away, the head of a monster that looked like a giant earthworm burst out from the ground. The fangs in its mouth had already clamped down on Lin Mo's lower limbs. There seemed to be small worms squirming in its saliva. They were the larvae of the parasite.
The subterrain giant worm looked exactly like the one in the picture. Its skin was dark red, and it was covered in layers of wrinkles. It radiated a scary presence.
"Motherf * cker!" Lou Xiaoning had already let out a loud roar. Her somewhat good-looking face was glaring angrily. As she ran over, she raised the Type-95 automatic rifle in her hands and aimed at the giant worm's body at the edge of the ground. Da da da da da, sparks flew, and a series of gunshots rang out!
The part of the giant worm's head that had popped out was instantly shot to pieces. In pain, it released its prey and crawled back underground.
Zhou Yi, Uncle Dan, and the rest hurried forward to pull the screaming Lin Mo back. The protective suit on his lower limbs was torn and tattered, revealing the bloody wounds underneath. They were all bites from the giant worms. There were no gunshot wounds because, as expected, the bullets did not penetrate the giant worms.
"Retreat!" Xue Ba shouted immediately. His face was calm. "Everyone, retreat into the tunnel! Stop right at the entrance. "
They had no choice but to go in. If they stayed outside, they would only be picked off by the subterrain giant worms. They had no idea how many worms there were.
"Ah Jun, come and help!" Uncle Dan was also yelling. He was working with Nurse Zhang Huohuo to drag Lin Mo into the tunnel. It was time for them to do their job.
The group retreated in an orderly manner. Gu Jun ran at the front and answered Uncle Dan, "Coming!"
They had to stop the bleeding and anesthetize them. Then, they had to perform the surgery before the worms entered the deeper parts of the wound.
As Gu Jun ran, he thought back to the surgery from yesterday.
At a time like this, he was surprisingly calm.
