Two hours later.
Lin Shuguang and his group emerged from the cave. Smoke filled the air outside the underground garage, and bullet holes and traces of shelling were everywhere. Countless Black Armored Scythe Spider corpses lay in pools of blood.
The sound of bombardment came from the distance. Song Kaiyuan's expression shifted slightly. "Go deliver the intelligence. Assault Team, come with me to provide support!"
The two teams split up.
Wang Jin hesitated and turned toward Lin Shuguang, only to hear the mysterious young man say, "Go on ahead." Then he watched Lin Shuguang hurry after Song Kaiyuan. The others behind him exchanged looks.
"Instructor Wang, this..."
Wang Jin withdrew his gaze and said decisively, "We're pulling out."
No one knew why Lin Shuguang had chosen to support the Military Department's men. They probably just assumed he was hot-blooded.
But the real reason...
In a corner, a Black Armored Scythe Spider drove its two blade-sharp forelegs into the corpse of its own kind without resistance, dug a heart the size of two fists out of its chest, and swallowed it in one bite.
The markings on its body glowed faintly.
Then it lurked in the shadows, quietly dismembering more corpses of its own kind and swiftly swallowing their hearts.
In the distance, Lin Shuguang caught up.
"What are you doing here?" Song Kaiyuan was somewhat taken aback when he saw him.
Lin Shuguang cut down a charging Black Armored Scythe Spider with a single stroke and said casually, "Let's deal with this first."
Song Kaiyuan nodded at that. "All right." Naturally, his opinion of Lin Shuguang rose considerably, a far cry from his unfriendly attitude toward Wang Jin's group.
As Lin Shuguang killed, he secretly sensed the Black Armored Scythe Spider under his control.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
