The ordinary-looking, muscular man turned on the lamp and looked towards the entrance, and immediately spotted the growing green stems.

By this time, the stems had covered the entire stone chamber, and the moment the light shone on them, they immediately rushed upwards.

However, the muscular man did not panic.

He reached into a cloth bag from his waist and pulled out a handful of sand from inside.

The moment the sand is sprinkled on the stem.

The stems that spread upwards immediately withered as if they had taken life out of them.

Oddly enough, the sand seems to be much more powerful than the yellow sand that our team has spilled.

In a few moments, the sand of the entire stone chamber underneath turned gray, completely deprived of its vitality.

The muscular man turned his head and looked at the man in the black suit: "Captain, the obstacle here has been solved. It's time to go in!! ”

When the weak-looking woman heard this, she covered her mouth and snickered: "Hey, I really feel sorry for the team in front. If they knew, when they had collected all the fragments, they would immediately be left with nothing. Perhaps, they won't work so hard. ”

The short-haired woman glanced at the weak woman and snorted coldly: "Hmph, how do you know." They're going to lose, are they?? Judging from my observations along the way, they don't seem to be soft persimmons! In the end, it is still unknown whether we can successfully get the fragments!! Don't get too excited! ”

"Oh??" The weak woman raised her eyebrows, she glanced at the man in the black suit, and smiled even more: "Do you mean to say that our captain's ability is insufficient??? ”

When the short-haired woman heard this, her face suddenly turned pale.

"I—I didn't mean that, and you're slandering me again!! Do you think that if you say that, black will be provoked by you??? I'm just telling you to be careful, don't be so careless......" The short-haired woman was about to say something, but a cold gaze interrupted her words.

"Enough. Qi Xing was right. This team is unlike anything we've seen before. There are strong strategists among them, and the captain is also very cohesive, and the strength of the other team members is not weak. So, it's right to be cautious. Hei said in a cold tone, and then turned his gaze to the entrance of the ground: "Let's go!" It's not too early! ”

With that, he looked at the muscular man.

The muscular man received the hint from the man in the black suit and immediately walked into the passage first.

However, they don't know.

In the shadow of the hallway outside the Institute.

A translucent figure that seemed to be there was nothing, silently watching all this.

It wasn't until the six of them walked away that he walked out slowly, and then walked out towards the entrance of the passage.

At the same time, I was immersed in my own thinking.

In the next second, Zhang Qiang suddenly opened his mouth and sneezed loudly.

I immediately came to my senses.

Zhang Qiang saw me looking at him, and said a little embarrassed: "Hehe, I don't know why, I suddenly want to sneeze." I'm sorry!! ”

"It doesn't matter!!" Zhao Qiqi glanced at him: "Anyway, if you are wearing a gas mask, the bacteria will only be absorbed by you for a second time, what does it have to do with us." ”

I almost burst out laughing.

"That's it!! Since there is a good chance that the road outside is connected to the devouring swamp, let's hurry and go!! I always felt that if I stayed here, something else might happen. As I spoke, I suddenly thought of something.

Turning my head back to look at the shelves, I said, "Oh, yes! Just in case, let's get another gas mask before we go!! ”

In this way, our group took a few more masks, and then walked out of the stone chamber and walked towards the passage outside.

Of course, the walls on both sides are still marked with the words "Safe Evacuation" and the pattern of arrows.

But unlike before, we haven't encountered anything as weird as before.

At first, everyone was still apprehensive, but after more than half an hour, we did not encounter any danger.

Slowly, everyone relaxed.

Continue to follow the arrow and walk forward, probably for another little more hour.

Just when everyone couldn't stand it, I suddenly realized that there seemed to be another iron door seven or eight meters in front of me.

The iron gate was locked with one of those large iron locks, and I don't know what the other side was.

I got closer, and then looked at Zhang Qiang: "Qiangzi, it's time for you to behave!" ”

Zhang Qiang grinned at me: "OK!" ”

In less than a few seconds, Zhang Qiang quickly opened the iron lock.

Zhang Qiang leaned over and pressed his face to the door.

He listened for a while, but heard nothing.

"Gao Wei, I can explain it to you first! I don't know what's in there. I didn't hear any movement, are you sure you want to open the door??? He asked, looking at me with a confused expression.

I stared at the door in front of me, hesitated for a second, and finally nodded.

"Let's go!! Either way, we're going to have to get out. "As I spoke, I was already gripping the doorknob.

Forcefully pull the handle forward.

After a crunch.

The door was opened.

When everyone saw this, they immediately looked inside curiously.

We were surprised to find.

Inside, it turned out to be a place that resembled a military fortress.

The only thing that's a little strange is that here...... Not a single mercenary.

"Hey, why is there a secret fortress here?? That's weird, right?? Du Deming said in surprise.

Zhao Qiqi looked at Du Deming and glanced at me again: "Actually, it's not strange. Think about it, isn't the entrance to the so-called underground castle marked with the marks of both the research institute and the mercenaries??? So I suspect ......"

"Your suspicion is that the scientific institute and the imperial mercenaries are restraining each other on the surface, but in fact they are secretly colluding. They deliberately disguised the experimental base as an underground castle. Use the local folk culture to make those aborigines dare not approach. Mercenaries built a military fortress here in order to hold the passage connecting the Devouring Swamp to the permafrost snowfield. I touched my chin and thought quickly.

"That's right. Because in their opinion, the entrance to the snow-capped mountain is enough to be defended by patrols and members of the scientific defense team. On the side of the devouring swamp, after all, it is connected to the aborigines who believe in some kind of god, and the environment is even worse. That's why they're here with a lot of troops. While Zhao Qiqi spoke, his gaze kept scanning the fortress, and the expression on his face was obscure.

"But...... What is the purpose of all this? Also, those red zombies on the wall, did they also make them? Situ Cao asked puzzled.
