"Take a glance … … Is it?"
Yin Le didn't understand half of Luo Nan's calculations, but she finally understood what lay behind Luo Nan's series of actions. It was an ambition and boldness that exceeded her imagination, as well as the corresponding enormous risk. Frankly speaking, this made her tremble with fear. It was the kind of instinctive fear and reverence that came from the bottom of life that came from being in the shadow of a towering mountain.
Fear of danger, fear of danger, and sigh.
But soon, Yin Le came to a realization. She shouldn't touch the level that was clearly higher than her future upper limit. Rather than being unbearably fearful because of the high and dangerous wind and snow, she might as well attach herself to the lush meadow at the foot of the mountain. She would know the yin and yang, and she would flatter the clear rain.
Besides, did she have any other choice?
Yin Le, who had lived under Lady Halder's shadow for many years, was very good at clarifying her own position. She was able to quickly adjust her mental state based on this foundation. She immediately shifted the focus of her attention to a domain that she could understand and accept:
"If we want to attract attention in the Wasteland, it shouldn't be enough to just rely on the door of the laboratory, right? After all, that's part of the plan. The situation can be considered good. "
"So there must be conflict."
"But the Centaur's acting is pretty good right now, and this group of people are all drama queens. They're using a script of peaceful inspection … …"
"This analogy isn't bad!" Luo Nan praised. He finally raised his head to look at her, "You're right. It's impossible to count on them to make a mistake on the stage. Then we can only look backstage."
"Backstage?" Yin Le analyzed the meaning of the word. All sorts of conjectures appeared in her mind for a time, but none of them were complete and clear.
And right now, in the Wasteland over three thousand kilometers away, the Centaur and the others didn't have any thoughts of 'stage' or 'backstage'. They energetically searched the bottom of the lake and the shore. Their enthusiasm was in full swing. It looked as if victory was close at hand. In reality, no one knew how long this process of approaching victory would last.
The saltwater lake they were searching was in a rather serious state of pollution. The residual radiation would more or less affect the operation of the instruments. And the complex and rich mutant species in the water represented large and small conflicts. Even though the seven searchers were all B-rank powerhouses with superhuman physiques, they still consumed a large amount of time and energy to submerge and resurface a few times.
The only good news was that they were continuously narrowing down the area of influence. By noon, they had basically limited the area of influence of the abnormal power to three square kilometers around the magma chamber below the rock stratum at the bottom of the lake. However, if the depth and thickness of the water and rock strata were calculated, the remaining work was still a huge one.
Jingxin had just come ashore after his previous shift. His clothes hadn't dried yet, so he couldn't help but grumble over the internal comms. "From the looks of it, the chances of the underwater teleportation portal I hope for are getting smaller. If I had known that Brain Demon was so unreliable, I would have asked him for the password to the safe before he joined the operation! "
Now, it was Ma Hou and Jingxin's turn to search on the shore. The former had yet to completely crawl out of the shadow of his defeat to the black fog. He temporarily lost the mood to joke and directly suggested, "Get Gardner to contact his superiors and have them airlift the equipment over. We'll directly crack open the rock stratum at the bottom of the lake. Now, they could basically confirm that this guy was a spy from the military, right? Damn it, he doesn't even bother to hide it! "
Under the water, the centaur simply replied, "The military thinks it's the smell of rust."
Jingxin analyzed a step further. "Maybe it's Team AB. Maybe it's directly under the Star Alliance. Given their size, they won't be interested in monopolizing the laboratory. No matter who gets it, they'll have to invite them to join in. "
Ma Hou found it strange. "Then why are they taking off their pants to fart? All they need to do is wait for the various families to offer up their offerings. "
"Because their internal relationships are more chaotic than those outside. God knows who will eat the offerings in the end. It's good to weigh it ahead of time. It's because it's' weighing 'that they can't do it with great fanfare. "
Jingxin was truly slacking off. He had nothing better to do, so he chatted with Ma Hou. He casually evaluated the other participants. "That guy, Cui Chenghe, is just a tool to act as the eyes of others. Li Taisheng and the upper echelons of the Order of Justice behind him are the ones who should be the most vigilant. The Order of Justice has been preaching about the Gate of Truth for many years. There's nothing wrong with forcefully relying on the plane. They won't hold back just because they lost a Secret Words First Oblatum. This is the case in Xia City, let alone in these wastelands. "
Deep down, Jingxin was still rather fearful of his peers. He simply ignored the others. "Hua Dian might be a mercenary from some financial group. It's impossible for him to go all out. Saint Anthony, on the other hand, hasn't come yet. There's not much to talk about when it comes to the ideals of the Order. If there's a conflict, we'll just fight. There's also that Dean Welfare. I can't figure him out for now, but he feels like a backpacker who's wandering the wastelands.
It can't be a coincidence, right? "Jingxin's nagging flooded the intranet. The others were silent for a time. Jingxin responded to this in a good way. He instantly changed the topic. "Hey, Horned Demon. Old pal. Don't you want to release more information about the laboratory? At the very least, its overall structure needs to be described more clearly. Otherwise, we might not even recognize it and miss it. "
Several seconds passed before Horned Demon replied, "There's no need for me to repeat it over and over again. Besides, I have no way of accurately describing it. As I said before, it was a labyrinth. Luo Yuandao's laboratory is placed at the entrance of the maze, but it will occasionally venture deep into the maze due to complicated factors. At that time, the laboratory will be like a hanging basket by the side of a well. It will prevent you from falling into a bottomless hole. "
"Hole?"
"It's just a description." Horned Demon was helpless against Jingxin's boredom. "Let me make another suggestion. Rigorous researchers and careful explorers will be safer there. However, the greatest harvest still belongs to the lucky fellows. The last lucky person was Luo Yuan. I hope I can be the next one. "
Jingxin chuckled. "In the various wilderness laboratories, there's a publicly acknowledged law: All luck is accumulated on accidents (corpses)! How many people are you planning on letting die for you? "
"I don't know either, so all of you be careful. Out of professional ethics, I will try my best to push your priorities to the back. As for the other participants, I hope that we can reach a consensus. "
"What do you mean by consensus?"
"Physical bodies first. Those with no one behind them first. Of course, if I were to line up, I would kick that bastard Gardner in first. It's not only because he has a physical body, but also because he has a disgusting mouth. "
At this moment, Jingxin and Monkey laughed strangely, but they were also vigilant. It was probably because they had renewed their understanding of Horned Demon's powerful grudge.
It was also at this moment that Fat Dragon's thought interjected. This powerhouse, who always maintained his calm or stiff state, reminded them in a timely manner, "It's time to change shifts. Also, cut the crap. It's too wasteful. "
"Yes, Captain. I'll follow your orders."
He had no choice but to listen. This internal communication network was built based on Fat Dragon's mental network. To him, every single word of the conversation that flooded the screen was an extra burden.
Although the "burden" was as light as nothing.
Horned Demon began to turn around. In fact, he didn't like the environment at the bottom of the lake. Even if he risked radiation damage and took a mouthful of lake water, he would get a terrible chaotic outcome. This was not a good sign for a psychic.
Perhaps he should try taking something more substantial from the bottom of the lake.
Once he thought of it, Horned Demon spun in the water and dug up some silt and aquatic plants. As he floated up, he stuffed the greenish-black filth into his mouth, "Hmm, it seems to contain the heat of the Magma Chamber. That's the smell of the endpoint … But it's too dry. It's not particularly good to point up."
Horned Demon tasted, thought, and raised his head again. The light of the shallow water spread above his head.
Monkey reported at this moment, "Cui Chenghe has floated up. I'm preparing to enter the water."
Jingxin also said, "I'll pick up Gardner … Who knows where that foul-mouthed scum is?"
"I see him." Horned Demon glanced to the side and saw Gardner, who had sunk to the bottom of the lake, float up. The distance between the two sides gradually closed, and Gardner gave him a thumbs up. Large bubbles emerged from his mouth as if he was saying something.
The corner of Horned Demon's mouth twitched, and he returned the same gesture.
After a friendly greeting, the distance between the two was even closer. Gardner was indeed a powerhouse with a physical body. He was the first to emerge from the water, leaning on the shore with one elbow, and he didn't forget to reach out to pull Horned Demon.
Horned Demon secretly rolled his eyes and reached out his hand.
At this moment, Monkey complained, "By the way, Fatty Dragon, don't be too focused. Allocate some energy to the communication network. There's a difference in the quality of calls on the shore and in the water. There's an echo noise or something … Huh? "
A blank space suddenly appeared on the communication network. This blank was poisonous, and it was rapidly spreading. As a result, the taste of the silt and aquatic plants in Horned Demon's mouth became extremely bitter, with a heart-palpitating almond taste.
Poison!
It wasn't the ingredients in his mouth, but the vicious stare of the Goddess of Destiny.
Horned Demon abruptly withdrew his hand, but in terms of physical reaction, there was definitely a qualitative difference between him and Gardner, who came from the military. He didn't completely dodge, and the fingertips of his index and middle fingers were viciously pinched. His bones and flesh were instantly twisted and deformed. Before the pain could be transmitted back, his body was pulled up. At this moment, his right hand was almost crippled.
In front of him, Gardner pushed the shore, leaned back, and slammed his heavy elbow into the connection between Horned Demon's chest and abdomen.
Gastric juices, blood bubbles, and, of course, the silt and aquatic plants in his mouth were instantly crushed into an indescribable dark color, spurting out from Horned Demon's mouth and nostrils. At the same time, he heard Gardner's sinister laughter.
