"Found it."
After waiting in the hospital room for a while with Grant cracking jokes, Xia Xu abruptly sat up.
Gardner's underground base was indeed well hidden and heavily guarded, but it still needed to circulate air with the outside world, so the ventilation ducts reached nearly every underground area.
Of course, the ducts here were not large enough for people to crawl through like in the movies, but they had more than enough room for the Spider-Shaped Predators. Even the occasional wire mesh barrier posed no challenge to their iron-pincer-like chelicerae.
This allowed the Spider-Shaped Predators to bypass all the guards and surveillance equipment completely and advance unhindered, transmitting every route and scene they passed to Xia Xu's Smart Glasses, which ultimately compiled them into a detailed structural map.
Not only that, through one vent after another, the Spider-Shaped Predators either secretly peered inside or tore through the coverings and crawled out, having already thoroughly scouted the interiors of the various structures.
Honestly, even as the creator of the Spider-Shaped Predators, Xia Xu himself had never expected them to be so useful in this situation. Originally, he had simply intended to use them as combat control units.
I really am a genius.
After inwardly praising himself with a touch of smugness, Xia Xu brought up the structural map and adjusted the deployment of the Spider-Shaped Predators.

Since he was wearing the Smart Glasses, the map in his field of vision was practically indistinguishable from a holographic projection. All the intelligence was clear at a glance, making it easier for him to assess, analyze, and deploy his forces.
