Some people struck it rich and then simply disappeared.
On Kazdel's land, the Sarkaz's moral bottom line was usually rather flexible.
"A wild Hive!"
Zerg looked at the corpse, his eyes lighting up.
After examining it up close, the Swarm Overlord confirmed that the virus infecting this corpse belonged to the Swarm's genetic sequence.
In other words—
There had to be a wild Hive here.
It was a little strange, though. If there were a wild Hive, then in theory he should have sensed it and connected it to the Hive network already.
Yet the Swarm Overlord had not detected any signal from a Hive.
Could it be a Hive that had already gone inactive?
"A Hive?"
The Sarkaz girl, who had been keeping her guard up, heard the little child's words and looked confused.
Then—
Zerg vanished from W's sight.
"Wait for me!"
W hurriedly chased after him.
Within this unknown artificial facility, only Zerg from the [Dimensional Chat Group] could give her any sense of security.
Before long, the number of footsteps in the dark corridor gradually increased.
"..."
The Sarkaz girl had lost track of the little child.
Meanwhile, shadows seemed to be swaying around her.
This was bad.
W switched on her flashlight, illuminating those swaying figures—
Sarkaz with swollen, distorted faces, tentacles growing from their bodies, and horribly mutated limbs.
There was no trace of reason left in their eyes. They merely wandered through this area.
Judging by their clothing, they had been a group of Sarkaz mercenaries.
"Click."
W switched off her flashlight and carefully moved forward.
Retreating was certainly an option, but finding Zerg and staying by his side offered her the highest chance of survival.
Who knew whether her way back had already been blocked?
"Huff..."
The Sarkaz girl held her breath
