Chapter 19: The Cave

Late at night on Earth, RBS was alone in Area C-37-6 to clean up Leviathan, so that the Island's staff could harvest energy from the area as safely as possible.

But then, he discovered a three-meter-high cave in the middle of the plain.

This is clearly a place that has been excavated by other creatures.

RBS also turned on X-perspective vision at this time, but in addition to Leviathan, who used it as a nest, he also saw something "interesting".

Immediately, he sent the scene to Lighthouse's headquarters.

——

The next day, the other members of Test Team 0-1 assembled in the preparation room because they had received an urgent mission.

"Ladies and gentlemen," announced with a serious face, "The images that RBS have sent from Earth seem to have found a Leviathan's lair, and there are some things in this lair that will be of great help to humans.

The higher-ups have decided to send you to Earth at once to rendezvous with the RBS and retrieve what is there.

Do you understand? ”

"Understood!" The three of them said in unison.

"Report!" Shangguan Jing suddenly stood up.

"What's the problem?" Mixed Kun asked.

"RBS is so strong, why do you need us to help?" Shangguan Jing said with a little temper.

Chaos didn't need to get angry, and responded, "Because RBS doesn't have the ability to carry that many resources at once, you need to work together to complete this task. Still have any questions? ”

"Nope." After Shangguan Jing finished speaking, he took a step back and returned to the team.

"In that case, let's get ready to connect." Mixed Kun commanded.

"Understood!" The four of them said in unison.

Afterwards, they each sat down on their own combat seats and put on their helmets.

However, Shangguan Jing was particularly concerned about Zhao Zihan's situation.

——

Last night, Shangguan Jing opened the door of the dormitory in a hurry, but saw Zhao Zihan, who was wearing a lilac dress and red eyes, standing in front of his door with a team uniform and helmet.

"Captain, can I stay with you for a while?" Zhao Zihan asked in a barely audible voice.

"Zihan, you, what's wrong with you?" Shangguan Jing asked worriedly.

"It's nothing, it's just a little unhappy with my family, so find a place they can't find to avoid it." Zhao Zihan replied truthfully.

Looking at Zhao Zihan, who had always been very extroverted in front of him, but now that he had become like this, Shangguan Jing couldn't bear to refuse, so he immediately took her in.

——

Now, although Zhao Zihan at this time can no longer see yesterday's sadness, it still makes Shangguan Jing feel particularly concerned.

"Zihan, you're okay." Shangguan Jing still couldn't help but ask.

"It's okay Captain, I'm not like a second-class person, I won't bring my personal emotions to the mission." Zhao Zihan said with a smile.

Shangguan Jing didn't say anything more, but felt a little distressed.

Subsequently, the four of them connected to the Ark and were sent to Earth, and immediately rushed to the area where the RBS was located after confirming the mission with the ground personnel.

——

After the four rushed to the designated area, they did not see RBS at all.

"What about others? Aren't you waiting for us to meet? You can't already be in this hole, right? SQE ASKED, LOOKING AROUND.

"Do you think that guy is that assertive?" VLS asked rhetorically.

"Yes." SQE agreed.

"I'm right here." A familiar voice rang out from the mouth of the cave.

Immediately after, the figure of RBS slowly appeared in front of the four people.

"Oh my God, do you want to be so scary?" The frightened VLS patted his chest and complained.

"What! Why are you still invisible? SQE asked unconvinced.

"My Ark is an ultra-high-performance individual combat model, so it has more features." RBS replied truthfully.

"Alright, let's finish the task." BIA tried not to show his disgust as much as possible, "Codename RBS, report the situation." ”

RBS said, "This cave is the lair of several C-class Leviathans, and the cave contains a large number of ASAT-type resources, and the usability of the cave is unknown. ”

"Okay, got it." BIA SAID BRIEFLY, AND THEN SHE STEPPED FORWARD AND TOOK A BRIEF LOOK AT THE INSIDE OF THE CAVE.

"How's that going, Captain, what's the problem?" GWL asked.

BIA turned around slowly and ordered, "The situation in the cave is unknown, everyone be careful.

Codename SQE opens the Quantum Shield and walks in the front, covering the team members behind.

Codenamed GWL is ready to position the lighting fixtures, which are arranged at five-metre intervals.

Codename VLS and I had a break at the end of the line.

Do you get it? ”

"Understood!" The three people whose names were called responded in unison.

"Do I need to be on guard at the entrance to the cave?" RBS asked.

Although BIA would like to leave him at the entrance of the cave and be out of sight, as RBS said, as the captain, BIA still knows that the big picture must be the priority.

"Codenamed RBS, you follow the team into the cave and follow orders if necessary." BIA commanded.

"Understood." RBS responded.

"Alright, let's go." BIA said.

——

After entering the cave, the group slowly moved through the cave according to the plan. Everything went very smoothly, even smoothly and a little unsettlingly.

"Codenamed GWL, how many positioning lights have been used?" BIA asked.

"Fourteen." As he spoke, GWL embedded a positioning light in the cave wall, "Now it's 15. ”

"Is this hole so deep?" VLS asked.

At this time, as one of the queens, she was already nervous to a certain extreme.

"This place is about 142 meters deep, and it's only more than half of the way." RBS answered truthfully.

"Oh, shouldn't I thank you for the reminder?" VLS said with a bit of sarcasm.

"I'm just reporting it as it is." RBS responded.

"No, don't you understand?" VLS put down the gun a little angrily and turned to look at the RBS.

"Alright, be on guard." BIA persuaded.

"Cut, really." Unconvinced, VLS turned around and continued to set up his gun to keep on guard.

"Isn't it strange to you? Why haven't you met Leviathan for so long? Didn't you say there were many? SQE, who was at the front, asked.

At this time, he was also very nervous.

"Aren't you happy to meet you?" VLS asked.

SQE, who had no heart to argue with VLS, explained: "No, don't you think it's scary to not be able to meet your opponent in such a mission? And ......"

"Roar~"

A dull roar came from the depths of the cavern.

"Hey, what was that just now? It's the wind, right? VLS asked, a little nervously.

"You, do you think this cave will be windy?" SQE said as much as he could, suppressing his trembling voice.

"This is Leviathan's warning." RBS said.

"Warning? How do you know? BIA asked.

RBS replied with just two words: "Experience." ”

This sentence couldn't help but make BIA bored again.

"No, then it warned us, then we still ......," SQE asked tentatively.

"Do you think you've walked almost 100 meters, and now it's not in vain to go back?" As he spoke, GWL embedded a positioning lighting device.

"Yes...... Never mind. "SQE doesn't have much to say, so I just don't think about it anymore.

But at this moment, a series of hurried footsteps came from the depths of the cave.

"Here we are." RBS was alerted.

"Guys, get ready for battle." BIA commanded.

Immediately, the four of them entered the awakening mode one after another.

Suddenly, a fanged mouth snapped into SQE's quantum shield.

"Leviathan, a wolf." RBS said, his grip on the heavy sword loosening a little.

Leviathan, who was more than a man tall, was immediately repulsed by SQE's quantum shield and slammed his back into the roof of the cave.

VLS spotted the opportunity to shoot two glowing bullets that pierced Leviathan's abdomen.

But the Leviathan attacked again as if nothing had happened.

BIA shot an ice arrow at Leviathan as it was about to pounce, covering its head with a thick layer of ice.

At that moment, GWL threw a spear, shattering the ice and the Leviathan's head.

Leviathan, who had lost his life, immediately collapsed in front of everyone.

Confirming that the crisis was resolved, everyone exited the awakening mode.

"That's it...... Gone? SQE was a little reluctant to believe it, "Isn't this just a C-machine Leviathan?" Are we strong enough to work together to easily kill a C-rank Leviathan? ”

"It's not." RBS said, "You may have a little more struggle with other types of C-class Leviathan, but although the wolf-type Leviathan is designated as C-class, its individual combat power is only at the D-level level.

They are only more able to work together in groups, so they are rated C. ”

"So...... Will there be more Leviathan in the depths of the cave? VLS asked in a somewhat trembling voice.

The atmosphere was even more tense, and the strings on everyone's bodies couldn't help but tighten.

In addition to RBS.

But after everyone was on guard for a long time, there was still no second Leviathan appearing.

The nervousness of the crowd gradually turned into doubt.

"No, what's the situation?" SQE was the first to ask questions.

"Why don't you keep walking?" VLS advised.

"Captain, what do you say you should do?" GWL asked.

"Otherwise, let's go back and see." The BIA gave the order a little uncertainly.

"Understood." The three responded in unison.

"Understood." RBS finally responded.
