The main hatchery is much larger than the ordinary hatching room, but after the disaster of that year, it has long since become empty and dilapidated, and all kinds of facilities and equipment are scattered everywhere, becoming a place for all kinds of experimental subjects to hunt.

"The entrance to the ventilation duct is up there."

The insect looked around, and finally fixed its gaze on a wide hole in the top of her and the turtledove's heads, and it was clear that the entrance to the ventilation pipe had also been damaged, and the wire fence that should have existed at the entrance was gone, and there were several scratches of various shades on the ceiling at the edge of the entrance, as if they had been cut by some kind of huge claw.

Seeing this, the turtledove scratched at the back of his head, and at first he thought that the ventilation ducts would be safer than the main test site, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.

"Why are you stunned?" The little insect that was moving things as a mat saw that the turtledove was in a daze, so he kicked the turtledove from behind, "What's the matter, it's just scared you to this extent?" In this kind of place, I advise you not to take any chances, but not really, and a little further away is the main testing ground, where you can try your luck. ”

The main proving ground? Turtledove said forget it.

Since the entrance to the ventilation duct was straight up and down, and there was still a considerable distance from the ground, the little insect found tables and chairs from the surrounding ruins, and stacked them together as footrests, and she was responsible for finding them, and the turtledove was responsible for carrying them.

It didn't take a few minutes for the two to build a "ladder" that was enough for them to climb into the ventilation duct, and at this point, the "pipeline expedition" belonging to the turtledove and the insect was officially launched.

……

The ventilation ducts are not anywhere and can drill people in, some places are relatively narrow, let alone a big man like a turtledove, and even a small person like a small insect can't get in, so the little worm has spent a lot of effort to study the pipe network before, trying to remember the ventilation pipe routes that can accommodate her and the turtledove.

And not only to accommodate them, but also to finally reach the sewer pipe where they are going, so since the ventilation duct was drilled, the little worm no longer spoke, but kept recalling the road map in his mind, crawling in front to lead the way.

Since the worm had told her not to bother her, the turtledove didn't say anything, anyway, his task was to crawl forward after the worm, occasionally through the wire fence under him, to see if any test subjects happened to pass by.

Perhaps because it was already close to the main test site, the turtledove crawling slowly in the ventilation duct could clearly feel that there was an inexplicable smell of killing in the air, which would make people's chests stuffy, as if there was a stone pressed there.

"Fortunately, I and the little worm didn't choose to take the path of the main test site," Turtledove secretly rejoiced, "The main test site must have been occupied by some kind of terrifying test subject, and it can produce such a palpitating feeling with its aura alone, it is simply terrifying." ”

Ikaruga had seen this powerful sense of oppression, but it wasn't a powerful monster like the Destroyer or Atlas, but a person, a woman.

Rebecca, the woman who single-handedly suppressed the one-eyed vulture and all of the governor's men during the abandoned city, and then inflicted heavy losses on Natalia and Schultz, even though Natalia had been wounded in the battle with Geraint and Enid last night, Rebecca's overwhelming strength still frightened the turtledove.

If Uncle Galahad hadn't come to the rescue in time, I'm afraid that the four of them would have been wiped out by Rebecca alone.

Now, the feeling that the unknown test subject in the main test site brought to the turtledove made the turtledove suddenly return to the abandoned city and stand in front of Rebecca again.

"Thankfully, fortunately."

Turtledove wiped the cold sweat on his head, he felt more and more that the little worm had made the right decision, and the little worm in front of him clearly sensed the huge sense of oppression coming from the direction of the main test site, she took the time to look back at the turtledove, pouted and shook her head:

"I'm glad I didn't listen to you."

The journey to the ventilation duct went unexpectedly smoothly, and after seeing the hideous scratches at the entrance, the turtledove and the little worm were ready to run into trouble in the pipe, but they both crawled out of the pipe for more than half of it, but they didn't encounter anything.

But some things are like this, you can't stand the chatter, it's okay not to chatter, and if you think about it, it's basically over.

……

"I'll see that we'll be able to drill pipes in the future," said the panicked turtledove to the little worm, "look at how good this pipe is, there is nothing to do, just crawl forward with your head shut." ”

The little worm said to the turtledove not long ago, let him talk to himself if he was fine, so as not to disturb his memory of the road map, but the turtledove was good, and he couldn't hold it back for a long time, and the little worm obviously didn't care much about him, he still had a pair to talk to the little worm.

"Shut up."

The worm turned around and glared at the turtledove fiercely.

The two men climbed forward a little further, and came to a slightly larger place, where a few ventilation ducts converged, and the turtledove could stretch its arms and legs a little.

"I can't stand drilling pipes like this for a long time," Ikaruga rubbed his shoulders and neck while lying down and moving his legs, "It's sour, how did this broken place become so narrow, it was okay at the beginning, the more I climbed, the more depressed I felt, as if I was going to be buried alive." ”

"Didn't you just say that you will drill pipes in the future, why did you change your mind so quickly?"

Seeing the turtledove's appearance, the little worm sitting on the wall of a pipe couldn't help but smile, don't look at her is much smaller than the turtledove, in fact, she can't climb easily, and the little worm has to recall the road map while crawling, and she consumes even more physical strength and spirit than the turtledove.

finally had a place to rest, and the little worm naturally had to hurry up and come back to his senses.

Closing her eyes, the little insect sitting on the wall of the pipe was adjusting her breathing, and suddenly, the little insect that was adjusting her breathing one moment suddenly opened her eyes, and the next moment she had put her ears on the wall of the pipe behind her.

The little worm's movements startled the turtledove, and the turtledove thought something was wrong, and he looked at the very solemn expression on the little worm's face, and knew that she probably had made some not-so-wonderful discovery.

……

"Something is approaching us."

Sure enough, the next sentence of the worm confirmed the turtledove's idea.
