Western Africa.

Professor Loew and General Willis stood facing each other, and Loew stared at Willis with a serious expression.

"I hope you'll listen carefully to me now!" he said, "From your soldiers, I found Dr. Karl's notebook!" he flipped to the page he had seen earlier and showed it to Willis, "Look at this!"

Willis took the notebook and looked at it, which contained a simple map showing the route they had taken.

The route is very rough, and from time to time there is a cross mark, and at the end, it is the same sentence: get out of here, danger!!

The sentence is very sloppy, and three exclamation points are used to indicate the urgency of the matter.

Willis's lips pursed tightly, his brow furrowed as he closed his notebook and looked at Loew.

"Professor Love, while I don't know what's going on inside, it's too early to say anything, let's wait for Corporal Gio to wake up!" Willis said.

Loew nodded, "Okay, General, I'm telling you this, just hoping to get your attention!"

Willis bowed slightly, indicating that he accepted Loew's reminder, and then, looking at his back as he left, narrowed his eyes.

No one could guess what was going on in Willis's mind, and Loew couldn't come up with any strong evidence to prove whether Carl's warning was correct or not.

Because, as Willis said, it is too early to say anything, and it is still necessary to wait until the soldier wakes up and asks about the situation before proceeding with the next step.

Professor Loew returned to his tent, where the researchers were sitting together discussing something, and when Loew entered, several of them immediately stood up.

Nervousness and worry were written on everyone's faces, because the people of the exploration team were their best colleagues and partners.

"Professor Love!" said one of the geological prospectors, "what the hell is going on inside, and why is there only one soldier coming back and the others?"

Loew forced a smile, "It's not clear, we won't know what happened inside until the soldier wakes up, and where are the others?"

"But," said the other expert, very nervous, but still trying to control himself, "we haven't found anything else useful here except for the diamond mines, and the unidentified energy fluctuations you've discovered! What exactly are we looking for here?"

This person was obviously a little nervous, and while he finished speaking, his whole body was a little stiff, and the person next to him hurriedly went up to reassure, "Relax, Jack! Relax, yes! Take a deep breath!"

Everyone else was waiting for Loew's answer, but Loew couldn't say anything now, and at this point, he began to wonder what they were looking for.

Unknown energy fluctuations indicate that there is an extremely rare source of energy underground here that has not been discovered.

However, until this point, in addition to a large number of diamonds, they have also killed countless indigenous miners, which cannot be said.

For the exploration inside, artificially only reached the end of the mine, the beginning of the cave.

And Carl's exploration team entered the inner part for the first time to explore, but it turned out that only one soldier came back, and he was still unconscious.

"Don't panic!" said Loew, "and when the soldier wakes up, we'll know right away what's going on inside!What I can tell you is that here, what we need to look for here, and that, according to my research, surpasses all the energy sources available combined!" Loew's expression was unusually serious, "and this is also an order from the president, we must find the energy source that will keep us alive as soon as possible!"

"What are you talking about, Professor Love?" the first geologist to speak frowned and asked disapprovingly, "You know, some things are state secrets, and you can't say them easily!"

The other few looked at the two of them without knowing the truth, and a kind of distrust suddenly appeared in their eyes, "What are you hiding? Tell us quickly!"

Loew shook his head a little sadly, and said to the person who questioned him: "Louis, it's just us here, if we can't find energy, we can't go back, don't you know?"

The expert named Louis suddenly became extremely angry, "Professor Love, you are disobeying the president's orders, do you know the consequences?"

The others stopped talking, the tent fell silent, Loew felt physically and mentally exhausted, and sighed, "Actually, you know very well in your heart, Louis! Karl is my best student, he is like my son, I really can't hide it anymore! The earth's available energy has been exhausted, and if we can't find a new alternative energy source, it won't be long before we all go back to the primitive times!"

Loew's words were not intended to be thunderous on the ground, and the shocked few people who didn't know the truth widened their eyes and froze in place.

Louis seemed to be crushed by his words, and he no longer had the sharpness he had just now, and suddenly sat down in his chair with his face covered, "Löw, why did you say it, why did you say it?" he wiped his face, with infinite despair, "If you don't say it, we can continue to search with hope, but why do you say it?"

Louis's words once again confirmed the truth of Professor Loew's words, which made everyone else instantly feel powerless, and they all sat down one by one.

"Professor Loew!" someone shouted outside the tent, and Loew took a deep breath, turned and walked out.

"Professor Loew, Gio is awake, the general asked me to call you over!" said one of the soldiers to Loew, who immediately followed him to the Medic's tent.

Loew walked into the tent and saw Willis standing next to the bed, watching the medic feed little Gio with water and a bowl of boiled sloppy food.

"General!" Loew shouted, and Willis turned around with an eyebrow.

"You're just here, Professor Love, let's hear what's going on inside!"

Loew walked up to him and looked at the soldier who had woken up early, and after drinking the water, his face was full of helplessness and horror.

"All right, corporal!" said General Willis, "tell us more about what you are doing inside!"

"General, Professor Loew, it's horrible inside!" Gio began to tremble, tears rolling in his eyes, but he tried very hard to get his words out as hard as he could, "We went all the way to the depths, they said it was the center, and after a little rest, they got to work......"

Little Gio briefly explained the previous situation, but when he said that some of them were dragged away by something he didn't know, he began to tremble again, "Professor Karl...... He saved me!" He finally began to cry, "I shouldn't have left him, but he said I would tell you what was going on inside, and I ......"

Little Gio was speechless from crying, and the medical soldier immediately gave him a sedative, helped him to lie down, stood up and said to Willis: "General, in this case, he can't ask anymore, let's wait for him to recover!"

Willis and Loew were reluctant to force the young man to recall the situation now, and it seemed that he was really frightened.

However, from what he just said, they also clearly understood something, that is, there was an unknown creature inside, constantly dragging people away, and even eating them.

"General, you should believe it this time!" Loew said to Willis as he walked to a deserted place.

Willis thought for a moment, "Professor Love, I completely agree with what you said earlier, but I don't quite agree with what Professor Carr left behind!"

"Why?" Loew, apparently not quite understanding, "don't you see? There are only one of them out of ten, and they are still scared like that, doesn't that tell the story?"

"Professor Loew!" Willis tried to calm Loew, raising his voice a bit, then lowering his voice again, "You know very well that we're here for this time, and we can't back down just because we're in a situation like this!"

"But ......"

Before Loew could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Willis, "No, we have a lot of weapons in our hands, this time, I'm going to take the soldiers in and see for myself, if there's anything, we'll kill him!"

Willis's words left Professor Loew speechless, these people don't take life seriously at all.

According to their logic, it's just a few people who die, and what war doesn't kill a lot of people? How can a little creature who doesn't know what it is, just hold back?

"And!" Willis continued, "we haven't figured out what that thing is in there yet!"

Professor Loew really didn't want to talk to General Willis anymore, it would be futile to continue, so it was better to get back to work as soon as possible.

At first, I was excited to think that if the energy here was found, country A might be able to rule the whole world, and even attack space, which was simply ridiculous.

Professor Loew left, and Willis immediately went back and began to assemble the soldiers.

"Soldiers, you have all seen your comrades, only Corporal Gio escaped from there!" Willis began to lecture in front of the soldiers, he pointed to the mine mouth not far away, and continued: "And your two comrades-in-arms, who are still unknown in it! According to Corporal Gio, there is an unknown creature inside that poses a serious threat to them! So, I will ask you now, what are we going to do next!"

Willis's words were so appealing that the soldiers replied almost in unison, "Save your companions!"

"Okay! it's your choice!" Willis was pleased with the result, "and after we had eaten, we were ready to go, a small squad of ten, and every half an hour we entered the squad until we found our comrade and killed the damn thing!"

"Clear!"

"No matter what happens to us after we go in, your family and your country will be proud of you!

Looking at the soldiers who were leaving quickly, Willis himself felt very powerful, and he immediately turned his head back and went to prepare.

Professor Loew sat in his tent, watched Willis move from the doorway, and turned back to his work.

After dinner, Willis gathered everyone together again, watched everyone stand up straight, fully armed, and turned back to Loew.

Seeing this, Loew went straight out of the tent.

"General Willis, I wonder if you would think again?" Loew wanted to try again.

The situation inside is so elusive that if something happens to them inside, there is nothing they can do about it.

"I've thought it through!" said Willis, "I hope that when we get in, we'll clear all the obstacles and help you get the job done as quickly as possible!"

Loew closed his mouth and watched as he led the soldiers to the entrance of the mine.

All those who remained gathered and stood by and watched them.

Loew glanced at the mine and turned to face everyone, "From now on, the first team will go!"

As soon as the words fell, the ten people in the first row immediately set off and walked into the mine, and everyone watched them disappear from the outside.

Looking at the time, there was no movement inside, and as soon as half an hour arrived, the second team also set off.

Until nightfall, all five squads entered, and Willis and Loew nodded slightly, leading the last team to the mine.
