Chapter 691: An Accidental Discovery
Let's not discuss so much about whether to carry the pot or not, anyway, the turtledove feels that he has carried a lot of pots, and it is not bad for the little worm to deduct such a bite for himself, the current problem is that it is no longer possible for them to follow the "safe route" revealed by the members of the "elite team", so what should be done next.

It is impossible to retreat, and it is impossible to exit in this life, -- the entrance between the pipes has been destroyed in the sudden collapse, unless the four of them want to dig the entrance out of the rubble again, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also may cause further and larger landslides, and it is easy to be dangerous at that time.
And in the "fortress" there are not only Natalia and Schultz who Worm and Turtledove want to save, but also the purpose of Rantis and Bit's trip, according to the members of the "elite team" who escaped, they saw several members of the "commando" also locked up in an area inside the "fortress".
If it weren't for the search for these lost companions, Rantis and Bit would have already driven back to the oasis in their small car, and they wanted to take them home with them after all the hardships they had gone through along the way.
Therefore, after a little discussion, the people quickly agreed on the same opinion and moved forward.
……
After escaping from the pipe room, everyone came to a relatively narrow corridor, why do you say that, because this corridor is still very spacious for the type of bug, but it is different for a bit of this size, it is only less than two meters wide, Bit has a big belly, and it is good to return after moving forward, and it is naturally not very convenient to turn around or something.
At the top of the hallway, there is a small overhead light every few steps, and instead of providing adequate illumination, the dim light illuminates the place as if it were a scene from a horror movie, and the atmosphere is both sullen and depressing, as if at any moment an aggressive psychosis would rush out of the rooms on either side of the corridor, brandishing a wooden stick and launching a surprise attack.
Most of the doors were open, and the turtledove peeked in as she passed by, and all of these rooms were filled with metal pipes in various directions, and it seemed that not only the previous room, but the entire area was inseparable from the metal pipes.
"Snort...... Poof......"
There was a sound of steam spewing out of the cracks in the pipes, which made the turtledove touch his ass again.
……
"Stop!"
The little insect that was walking in front suddenly raised his right hand, signaling the three people behind him not to hurry forward, -- the turtledove that followed closely behind the little insect poked its head and looked forward, and it turned out to be another "landslide section".
The pipe area of the "fortress" was built above the drainage pipe, only one floor in between, and Morrow had already led his "test subject army" to storm the "fortress" a few days ago, and it is said that he also attacked the interior of the "fortress", causing great damage to various facilities.
Because of this, those members of the "elite squad" were able to take advantage of the chaos to escape, and finally escaped from the "fortress" by hiding inside the "fortress".
"Be careful," Worm instructed the other three, "I'll go ahead with Turtledove, Lantis, and when we're done, we'll throw the backpack behind you and Bit to lighten the load." ”
Rantis nodded, and the worm went ahead to explore the way first.
The wall on one side of the hallway was broken, and through the broken wall, it could be seen that the floor between the pipes on this side was completely gone, leaving only some metal pipes hanging in the air, and the worms wanted to go over to see if it was a drainage pipe in the dark below, because it was not very far from the pipe room they had climbed up from the drainage pipe, and there might be a chance to find a "safe route" from here.
But the little insect that was looking down against the broken wall found something else, and she risked climbing over the broken wall despite the "eye blocking" of the turtledove behind her, clinging to the little floor that remained between the pipes near the edge of the wall and rubbing towards the hanging pipe.
Since it was beyond the range of the dim light at the top of the corridor, and the turtledove did not have the "eagle eyes" of the worm, he could only stand here and stare dryly except for whispering "feed" to the worm back.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the little worm to come back, and when she appeared in the turtledove's field of vision again, the turtledove noticed that the insect was pinching something in his hand, the light was too dark and the angle was not good, and the turtledove couldn't see what the insect was pinching for a while, anyway, looking at the insect's expression, she was quite disgusted with the thing she was holding in her hand.
"Now, look at it."
The little worm turned back from the broken wall and casually threw something at the turtledove's feet, and the turtledove looked down to see that the daring little worm was pinching nothing else, it was the kind of weird scorpion that everyone had encountered near the "elite squad" fortifications before.
This scorpion has a sac of fluid that stores a special liquid, and once they are given the opportunity to burrow into the body and inject venom, the person will soon become an experimental subject controlled by the scorpion colony, and become the "gold medal fighter" of the scorpion colony.
"Where did you get that?"
The turtledove kicked the dead scorpion, judging by the stiffness of the corpse, which had probably died a few days earlier.
"I found the corpse of a test subject over there, stuck between two pipes," the worm explained, "and I broke the wound on the back of the corpse and found this scorpion inside, and brought it to you." ”
Worm is not a person who likes to find trouble, the reason why she wants to do this is because everyone's understanding of the "fortress" is basically close to zero, they have no idea what they will eventually encounter if they continue to walk along this corridor, and the uneasiness and fear brought by the unknown will gradually affect a person's mentality, if this situation is left unchecked, the four people present will become nervous.
And since the clues have been found, it is definitely not the character of the bug if you don't figure it out.
"According to my estimate, the scorpions outside the 'fortress' probably escaped through the place where we are currently located," Worm said his analysis, "Otherwise, how could there be a corpse with a test subject caught in the middle of the pipe, which means that what awaits us in front is most likely a scorpion-related facility."
