Following the direction of the cable car's steel cable, the group began to advance deeper into the mist.
The convoy adopted a 3-in-1 formation, with Mo Ran flying directly above the center of the convoy.
32 minutes have passed.
After nearly half an hour of driving, the group arrived at the plain where Mo Ran had originally discovered the coal.
The ground was covered with soft, black soil, which the electric car drove over.
Several distinct tire tracks appeared on the ground, with wisps of black liquid seeping out.
The soft, black soil was thrown into the air by the wheels and then fell back to the ground due to gravity.
Along the way, you can also see rotten trees of varying sizes, lying limp on the ground like stewed radishes.
The bark of the trees was as soft as mud, and a black, viscous liquid could be seen flowing from it.
"The camera on this car is pretty good; it provides a much wider field of view than the naked eye."
The car's cameras constantly scan the surroundings, transmitting the collected images to a screen inside the vehicle.
Through the images on the screen, everyone could clearly see the area within 100 meters.
The convoy moved forward, the hum of the motors being the only faint sound in the landscape.
A faint red light flickered within a pile of rotting trees.
...
"Unexpectedly... on just the third day... someone has already... taken over a... rest area..."
And...they've come to this...depth. It seems this group is...no small force..."
The shadowy figure outside the monitor screen watched the scene, a hint of mockery flashing in its murky, decaying eyes.
"Father, you have such fun toys. Let your daughter go out and have some fun with them."
A soft and melodious female voice came from the darkness, clear as a silver bell.
Under the dim light of the surveillance cameras, an extremely twisted and eerie black shadow was revealed.
Hearing the voice behind him, the humanoid monster in front of the monitor slowly turned its head, and the piercing, intermittent sound came from an unknown place.
"Giggle...don't rush, daughter, the time hasn't come yet. When the time comes, we'll have plenty of time to play with these toys."
Now... let... our pets go... greet... them... quack quack quack..."
The intermittent, piercing sounds continued to emanate, and a cruel, sinister smile appeared on that ugly, twisted head.
"Hehehe~, Father, you're so naughty~."
A silvery female voice came from the shadows, tinged with a strong sense of mockery.
...
"I never imagined there would be a research institute beneath this island."
Unfortunately, many of the internal surveillance cameras are already broken or the images are blurry.
However, based on the available surveillance footage, this underground research institute is indeed quite large.
Unfortunately, none of the monitoring rooms had cameras, so it was impossible to see the true nature of those two voices.
However, to survive in such an environment, one would probably not be a normal human being.
Judging from the man's voice, trouble was about to come knocking.
On the screen of the armor in front of Mo Ran, a dilapidated underground research institute was floating.
The damaged areas are where the surveillance cameras are broken or unable to reach, but the visible range is enough to demonstrate the size of the research institute.
Ever since discovering the camera inside, Mo Ran has had the mouse scan and keep an eye on the surroundings at all times.
Just now, the mouse successfully scanned a nearby surveillance camera.
They then used hacking to access the host computer and discovered the research institute beneath the island.
Unfortunately, the internal equipment is very old and even damaged, so very little information can be obtained.
However, it wasn't without its gains; they obtained a glimpse of the underground base and even discovered some unknown entities within it.
Just then, a cold, mechanical voice came from inside the helmet.
"Reporting to the commander, there are multiple large targets approaching from above."
As the mouse finished speaking, several piercing screechs came from the air.
"Ouch! Ouch!"
The sound was shrill and piercing, like an air raid siren.
Mo Ran quickly removed the 3D terrain map in front of her, then focused her gaze upwards, at which point her energy shield deployed.
With her X-ray vision, Mo Ran saw about 30 pterosaurs swooping down from above.
These pterosaurs were enormous, their entire bodies covered in rotting flesh that resembled corpses.
Its two enormous wingspans were tattered, yet they were able to support its massive size.
Its two hind legs are huge and thick, and have grown many slender and sharp secondary claws, making them look bizarre and twisted.
From within a pair of enormous, pointed mouths, countless scarlet tentacles burst forth wildly, like a tuft of red beard.
And this pterosaur had three such bizarre heads.
Pairs of red eyes, as if about to bleed, were staring intently at the crowd below.
All the pterosaurs were rapidly plunging downwards, their tattered wings swirling through the air.
It emitted a series of whooshing and buzzing sounds, like a bomber that was diving and roaring.
"Attention everyone, a large group of mutated pterosaurs is approaching from above."
Mo Ran's voice was transmitted to everyone's ears through the headphones.
Apart from the player driving, the other players in the vehicles all raised their weapons.
They then opened the firing ports on the roof of the vehicle, and a series of weapons emerged and were aimed upwards.
"Mouse, aim the rear weapon upwards and fire freely."
"Understood, conductor!"
The heavy sniper rifle and rocket launcher on the back of the armor popped out instantly, and the attack began the next second.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh...!" "Boom boom boom...!"
Missiles sped out of the launcher, and sniper bullets pierced the fog above at high speed.
