Chapter 61: What do the people at Hope Base want to do?

The researchers' survey lasted nearly an hour.

It seems that a major discovery has been made.

They gathered together, pointing at the violently enlarged sewer pipe opening, and discussed something heatedly.

soon,

Several armed men came forward.

I used a flamethrower to burn the inside of the pipe for a while.

Then a few more tear gas-like things were thrown in.

After waiting for a while,

Two personnel wearing heavy full-body protective suits and breathing apparatus,

Holding the strange-shaped gun, he carefully entered the pipe.

The others were waiting outside nervously, with their guns pointed at the cave entrance.

Time passes by minute by minute,

The atmosphere was suffocatingly tense.

Bai Li also held his breath and stared at the cave entrance through the crow.

About ten minutes later,

The two people who went in came out.

He made a few gestures to the people outside, as if to indicate that it was safe.

The researchers immediately gathered around.

The people who went in took out a few things from the sealed bag.

Even though we are at a great distance,

Bai Li can also see clearly,

Are those some... broken pieces of chitinous shells, like those shed by some creature?

And a few... oval-shaped... eggs covered in sticky substance?

The eggs were about the size of basketballs, covered with strange mucus and veins, wriggling slightly and emitting an ominous aura.

The researchers were overjoyed and placed the eggs with extreme care in a special incubator.

There was an expression of almost ecstasy on their faces!

Seeing this scene,

All the hair on Bai Li's body stood up!

egg!

Those monsters can really reproduce!

And the people at the Hope Base are actually collecting these eggs!

What do they want to do?!

Research? Cultivate? Weaponize?

Madmen! These madmen!

Bai Li felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart.

Hope Base is far more dangerous and crazy than she imagined!

The convoy did not stay for long.

After collecting the eggs and samples, the retreat began immediately.

The engineering vehicle even simply cleaned the hole and did some cover-up, as if they didn't want it to be easily discovered.

The convoy quickly returned to Hope Base and the gate was closed heavily.

But Bai Li knew,

It will never end here.

Those eggs that were brought back were a huge hidden danger!

She immediately ordered the crow sentinels,

Closely monitor the direction of the drainage pipe outlet at Hope Base.

At the same time, expand the monitoring scope and search for other similar entrances or traces.

She had a strong premonition.

That underground pipeline system is definitely not simple!

It is very likely connected to a huge, undiscovered nest!

In the next few days,

Bai Li spent her time in anxiety and vigilance.

I hope there won't be any large-scale movement at the base for the time being.

But the number of guards on the wall has increased and the atmosphere remains tense.

The technical geek's wrist injury has healed a little.

Bai Li asked the zombies to send him more tools and materials.

Even included a small bottle of lubricant found in the rubble.

I hope he can improve the cat car as soon as possible to prepare for a rainy day.

The man seemed to sense something and worked even harder.

However,

Just when Bai Li thought he could take a breath,

The Rat King is responsible for monitoring the outer areas of Hope Base.

An extremely urgent alarm was sounded!

About three kilometers away from Hope Base,

In another abandoned factory underground pipe network,

Similar claw marks and slime were found!

And the traces are very new!

It seemed like something had just passed through there and went deeper underground!

Bai Li was shocked!

Sure enough, there is more!

And the scope of activities is expanding!

She immediately ordered the Rat King to send out several of the smartest mice.

Carefully sneak into the pipeline network to investigate.

at the same time,

She asked the Crow Sentinels to focus on monitoring ground movements in that area.

The mice shuttled through the dark and complex pipes.

Soon, even more horrifying images came.

Deep in the pipe,

More claw marks and slime were found,

There are even some animal bones that have been gnawed clean.

And...several human corpses whose brains had been sucked dry!

Judging from the degree of decay, it happened in the last few days!

These monsters have been operating in secret, hunting!

The range of their underground activities may be far beyond imagination!

Bai Li felt her scalp tingling.

She immediately realized that

Your own territory may not be safe!

Although no traces have been found yet,

But who can guarantee that those extensive underground pipelines do not lead to their side?

She must take action immediately!

First, strengthen underground surveillance!

She ordered the Rat King to spread out as many of his rat offspring as possible.

Go deep into all known underground pipes, basements, and cracks around the territory,

Establish an underground security network.

Report any suspicious movement immediately!

Secondly, strengthen your defense!

She commands the zombie engineering team,

Dig deeper and wider trenches around the yard,

Bury crude warning devices (such as tripwires connected to empty cans) at key locations.

Although it may not be able to stop that kind of monster, it can at least serve as a warning.

Last but not least,

Get the cat car to a usable state as soon as possible!

Once you discover that danger is approaching, you must be able to evacuate immediately!

She sent a new blueprint to the tech geek via crow.

There was a very simple calendar with a big red circle drawn on it.

Next to it was a painting of a hideous monster's paw print.

The meaning is simple: Time is running out! Monsters might be coming! Build a car quickly!

When the tech geek saw the blueprint, his face turned pale instantly.

My hands shook.

He looked at his nearly completed cat car, which had brakes and shock absorbers installed.

I gritted my teeth and started working overtime like crazy.

I didn't even care about the pain in my wrist.

The atmosphere in the entire base instantly rose to the highest alert level.

The calico cat rarely rests and keeps patrolling the edge of its territory.

A low-pitched, threatening snoring sound came from his throat.

Fat Orange seemed to feel the tense atmosphere as well.

I sleep less and spend more time squatting on the roof, squinting my eyes and looking into the distance.

Ling Xiao also practiced more diligently.

The stardust cyclone in Dantian rotates slowly day and night.

Absorbing the thin spiritual energy in the air.

He can mobilize more and more spiritual power.

I can now keep the little bell suspended stably for more than ten seconds.

Or condense a fireball the size of a pigeon egg.

Significant progress,

But facing the horrible monsters that may appear, we are still insignificant.

He tried to use more spiritual power to strengthen his spiritual perception.

I hope to discover underground threats earlier and resolve them as soon as possible once the danger is discovered!

That night,

Bai Li was dozing off, but he was highly alert and connected to various sentry posts.

Sudden!

Several mice are responsible for monitoring the underground pipe network in the direction of Hope Base.

Almost at the same time, a thought of fear came!

There's something!

Something very big!

A huge, hideous figure covered with a black chitinous shell,
