The evacuation of the shelter was swift and orderly, with everyone aware of the urgency of the situation and the importance of the mission.
Faced with this unprecedented crisis, even demons have shown a rare unity.
Angelica and Lucifer led the team, constantly adjusting their strategy along the way to deal with any unexpected events that might occur.
During the three days of retreat, the team faced several tests.
First, they had to traverse several areas slightly contaminated by whispers and indescribable things.
Despite wearing special protective gear developed by the shelter, these areas remain full of unknowns and dangers.
Whispers lingered in the air, trying to seep into everyone's mind, while the corrupted creatures lurked in the shadows, waiting for their chance to strike.
But thanks to the protection of their equipment and the mutual vigilance among the members, they managed to traverse these areas with great difficulty, and none of them were infected.
During this period, Enrique demonstrated outstanding organizational skills, ensuring the safe transfer of supplies and personnel.
Meanwhile, Mai Huasen used the equipment at his disposal to set up temporary monitoring stations to ensure the safety of the team's route and record changes in the contaminated areas, providing data support for possible subsequent research and countermeasures.
Most memorable was on the second night, when the group passed through a small, once-prosperous but now abandoned demon settlement, and they witnessed a group of whisperers performing some kind of ritual, seemingly attempting to summon a more powerful, unspeakable being.
Angelica acted decisively, directing a small elite team to silently eliminate the threat, thus preventing a potential large-scale infection.
On the third day, when the team finally reached the entrance to the upper level, everyone was exhausted, but their eyes shone with hope.
An advance team personally deployed by Lucifer was already waiting at the entrance and exit. They quickly took over and further reinforced the defenses, preparing to meet any potential challenges.
Angelica stood before the newly established defensive line, gazing at the abyss in the distance shrouded in whispers and indescribable things, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
"Although we have temporarily escaped the disaster at the bottom of the abyss, the real battle has just begun."
She said to Lucifer and the demon lords beside her, "We must find a way to completely seal or destroy these unspeakable things, otherwise the entire Abyss may fall."
Lucifer: "That's only right. We should build up our defenses first. We can't let any Whisperers or Infected get out of there before the Dark Abyss comes over, or we'll really be doomed."
The whispers and the indescribable contagiousness are so strong and so difficult to guard against that if even one escapes, it would be a complete disaster.
Not to mention, if the mist of the Dark Abyss detects whispers or indescribable things appearing in this layer of the Abyss, the mist will begin to move to the entrance of the next layer. This should be a program that has been set up in advance.
Under the leadership of Angelica and Lucifer, an ambitious defensive project was quickly launched near the entrances and exits.
The shelter's research findings played a crucial role at this moment; special alloy barriers, audio devices capable of interfering with whispers, and sensors capable of detecting faint fluctuations of indescribable things were all integrated into the defense design.
The application of these technologies not only enhances physical defenses, but also erects an insurmountable wall on a psychological level.
Meanwhile, medical teams and researchers used advanced testing equipment to conduct thorough health screenings on every arriving shelter member to ensure they were not infected by whispers or unspeakable things.
Although the process was tedious and stressful, no one complained because everyone knew its importance.
Because if an infected person were to infiltrate, the entire Upper Abyss would be in danger of collapsing.
In this series of intense yet well-organized actions, the entire shelter community demonstrated remarkable resilience and cohesion.
Despite facing unprecedented threats, every individual is working towards a common goal of survival.
After inspecting the defenses, Angelica convened an emergency meeting with all senior generals and her advisors.
She emphasized, "Now we have a chance to catch our breath, but we cannot let our guard down in the slightest."
We need to develop a long-term plan that not only strengthens our defenses here but also explores ways to completely eliminate the threat posed by the unspeakable.
Lucifer added, "At the same time, we should send reconnaissance teams deep into the edge of the contaminated area to gather more intelligence and understand the activity patterns and weaknesses of the unspeakable things."
Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle.
......
In the following days, the atmosphere near the defensive line became increasingly tense.
The whisperers and infected seemed to sense the vitality above and began to attempt to break through the defenses more frequently.
Each attack is a severe test of the defense system, but also an effective verification of new defense technologies.
Angelica and Lucifer went to the front lines to oversee every defensive operation, ensuring that every link could respond quickly.
Whenever the Whisperer's figure appears and disappears in the dim light, or the distorted form of the infected struggles at the edge of the defense line, the barrier made of a special alloy releases oscillation waves of a specific frequency under the guidance of sensors.
These oscillations can temporarily disrupt whispers, reduce their corrosive effect on the mind, and slow down the movements of those creatures.
Meanwhile, automated defense towers and patrols quickly locate targets and fire beams or projectiles using specially designed weapons equipped with special ammunition developed by the Mawson team.
It can release a chemical substance upon hitting a target that can temporarily neutralize the corrosive power of the unidentifiable substance, slowing down the alienation process of the hit creature and thus effectively curbing its offensive.
In this ongoing battle of offense and defense, the medical team and the research group also worked closely together to record and analyze each conflict in order to improve defense measures.
They discovered that although the physical and psychological protection of the defenses greatly reduced the risk of infection, the whisperers' whispers seemed to be constantly adapting and gradually finding ways to penetrate certain frequency bands.
This forced the research team to upgrade their technology and develop more complex interference patterns to maintain the effectiveness of their defenses.
During a particularly intense nighttime raid, a group of highly mutated infected nearly breached the first line of defense, their tentacles and twisted limbs almost climbing over the barrier.
Angelica frowned as she looked at the highly mutated infected individuals before her, and finally took matters into her own hands, killing the group of highly mutated infected individuals.
Of course, before the kill, she was enveloped by the rules of the abyss, and anyway, the whispers or indescribable things of these highly infected individuals spread out.
