Number 4's prediction was correct, and when Serra and his party of more than 20 people arrived at the target location, they found that there was indeed an abandoned factory deep in the forest.

Entering the abandoned factory, everyone found a very large and deep well, which is the water supply point of the factory.

Serra stood in front of the shaft and looked at the time, 7/23/103 16:23, 3 hours before sunset.

After estimating the time, Serra felt that it should be enough, and she released the detection device, and the two probe balls fell straight into the shaft. After a while, the scanned images began to be sent back.

Reaching a staggering depth of 195 meters from the entrance of the shaft, the depth of the water reached an astonishing 195 meters, and the shaft was detected to reach the edge of an underground lake, and when the probe ball entered a depth of 90 meters, the depth of both sides began to increase dramatically, and the two probe balls also split into ten and began to scan in different directions.

Soon the water model was depicted on the Sierra arm.

It turns out that there is a very complex system of dark rivers beneath the Swamp, which criss-cross like blood vessels, and converge underground to form lakes and run into unknown distances.

From the model alone, the target area that Sierra was looking for was above a relatively wide underground river. The intelligence core quickly marked the coordinates and simulated more than a dozen routes, and finally showed a relatively straightforward and safe route through calculations.

However, no matter which route you take, you have to jump into the machine well and swim over.

"Alright, I've shared the route, you guys go down with me, and the others will take the Seeker to the meeting point a hundred kilometers away." When Serra finished speaking, one jumped into the shaft.

The ordinary soldiers began to assemble in line to the open place in the factory area, but the remaining ten people led by No. 1 were not in such a hurry.

No. 4 said with some worry: "BOSS, the underwater work is not easy to accept, not to mention that this is the Ningxi Swamp, and I am afraid that you will encounter Xenos above the S level in such deep waters." ”

No. 1 received a reminder, but the employer had already gone into the water.

After thinking about it for a while, No. 1 said: "Let's go, wealth and danger are sought, not to mention that No. 5 also brought a camouflage curtain, although the effect is average underwater, it should not be targeted, as long as you find the target quickly!" Be smart! ”

After saying that, No. 1 also jumped off the shaft.

After a while, eleven people converged in the well, and Serra was a little angry when she saw them grinding like this, but she didn't say anything, after the small team of eleven people gathered, the exoskeleton began to adapt to the deep diving form, and then everyone began to move underwater.

The functional load carried by No. 5 unfolds into an underwater sail and swims at the forefront.

No. 4 followed, the matrix vision was always on and in charge of vigilance, 6, 7, and 8 were in charge of the tail of the team, they were facing backwards, and they were in coordination with 2, 3, and 9 through the link device, and No. 10 was a newcomer, and it was his first time on a mission, and No. 1 wisely let him stay in the middle of the team to assist.

The underwater world after the end is indeed an extremely dangerous place, because unlike the ground, the combat effectiveness of the aquatic creatures here after alienation can be called terrifying. And most importantly, the natural camouflage provided by the water makes it easy for them to avoid regular scanning, such as the detection ball released by Serra, which is completely undetectable to the hidden threat in the water.

The group's silent progress seems to be quiet, but in the water it is more noticeable to hunters than prey that falls into a spider's web. The scanning range of the matrix field of view of No. 4 also decreases with the increase of the depth of the dive, and the water environment here is particularly turbid, and it is like a desert, with no trace of aquatic life at all.

The more this happens, the more unsettling it becomes.

Serra's initial eagerness is now a little regretful, and the path she has chosen is the most recent, but now it seems to be the most dangerous.

"Everyone pay attention to the surroundings, the detection range has been narrowed to less than 20 meters, beyond the limit of the avoidance distance." No. 4 reminded him.

"Understood!" The crowd responded.

The eleven people under the water were as inconspicuous as a group of shrimp in the entire water body, just a tiny black spot. When they descended around the edge of the underground lake and came to the lake area, the relative proportions were even more insignificant.

"There are still 700 meters to the target point, pay attention to safety." No. 4 reminds again.

But just as she finished reminding, the original calm in the matrix's vision suddenly broke into a small tremble.

This little tremor might have been ignored by No. 4 in normal times, but in a state of high tension, No. 4 immediately realized that this was a danger.

However, while 4 is conscious, he is not so quick to react and warn.

Because No. 5 was at the forefront, he bore the brunt of the crisis when No. 4 sensed the crisis. All he saw in his vision was a sudden black shadow, followed by a heart-rending stinging pain in his lower back and abdomen.

What everyone saw was that a pitch-black shadow suddenly appeared and instantly bit No. 5, followed by churning blood that covered the field of vision, and then in the turbid blood water, the only remaining lower body of No. 5 was spit out, and his bloody legs passed through everyone, and then sank towards the deep water.

"!! What the hell! Be careful, everyone! Enraged, Number 1 quickly shifted into combat form.

The crowd was stunned by the horrific sight, but they reacted quickly, linking them to each other with a link device, and while speeding out of the attack area, 6, 7, and 8 began to drop mines at the back of the team to prevent them from being pursued.

Number 4 is now a striker, and everything in her matrix vision is calm again, but at this moment her heart is like falling into an ice cave.

This enemy was so fast that she couldn't even see the size of the enemy, let alone distinguish the level of alienation.

However, there was no need for machine analysis, and No. 4 was sure that his party had encountered Xenomorphs above the S level.

Sierra was also horrified now, after all, she was just an officer, and there was still a lot less actual combat experience like this.

"There are still 300 meters to the target point, everyone! Try not to get entangled with it in the water! Number 1 urged.

As soon as the words fell, there was a continuous dense explosion behind him, and the dull underwater detonation was caused by the mines arranged by 6, 7, and 8, with the help of bright lights.

Number 4 finally saw the enemy's appearance clearly.

It was an ugly xenomorph with hundreds of tentacles and a rosette-like head on its lower body, but it had a beautiful but deadly name, the Blood Rose, though those who encountered it preferred to call it "Devil's Kiss". With the explosive rush of tentacles, it can suddenly attack in a state of lurking and stealth, and then spread its petal-like head or giant mouth, bite the prey with thousands of sharp teeth and quickly rotate, and any exoskeleton is vulnerable to this concentrated bite force and the power of the death spiral!

As long as you are bitten by a magic kiss underwater, you will either die or be disabled!

But now this magic kiss has been blocked by a mine, and it looks a little embarrassed, but No. 4 is not happy, but his face has changed from horror to despair!
