Run for Your Lives! (Second Update)

When Mu Fan entered the crevice, he discovered that the space below was surprisingly spacious. It was a huge passageway. Wearing Exoskeleton Armor, he stood inside with his head more than a meter above the rock wall, and the width was a good five or six meters.

The two now stood side by side in the reddish-brown passageway. White Hair, sensing the quiet atmosphere around him, whispered, "What kind of place is this? It looks so eerie." He then pulled down his goggles, and a faint orange light shone through.

"We walk in for 15 minutes, and then return at the time specified by Captain Luo."

"At least you have a conscience."

Mu Fan did not remove the visor of his Tactical Helmet. His eyes were the best night vision devices in the dark. When the grass covered the entrance again, it simply became pitch black.

The two moved forward slowly, one in front of the other.

Mu Fan dared not be careless now, because this was his first time entering such a large-scale underground tunnel, not to mention that it was related to the Zerg Race.

All around them and under their feet was slippery Zerg Moss, so the two of them deliberately slowed down.

Although the passageway was winding, we walked for several minutes without encountering any forks in the road.

Finally, White Hair couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere any longer and said to Mu Fan, "Mu Fan, putting everything else aside, this is absolutely the first time in my life that I've ever participated in such a high-level adventure."

The sound rang out, but there was no echo; it seemed to have been absorbed by the Zerg Moss -like, soft tissue.

"Why do you seem so experienced? Have you ever seen such an ugly thing as a Zeg before?"

Mu Fan looked ahead, walking cautiously, and shook his head. "No, this is my first time too."

"You didn't turn on the night vision function of your Tactical Helmet?" The White Hair finally noticed that Mu Fan hadn't pulled down his mask and asked in surprise.

"I can see it clearly, so I don't need it for now."

"I really want to ask you if you're even human..."

He muttered something to himself and saw Mu Fan supporting himself against the pit wall as he turned the corner.

So, suppressing his nausea, White Hair turned around, supporting himself against the slippery pit wall.

"How much longer do we have to walk?"

"Eight minutes left."

"Our communication signal is gone..."

The two continued walking, one in front of the other.

Mu Fan can now feel himself descending slowly, because the slope has been gradually decreasing since he came in.

"Mu Fan, I have good news and bad news."

He lightly tapped his teeth, signaling Black to speak directly.

"The good news is that, through the Battlefield Recorder, I can tell you definitively that you have found Zeg's lair."

"The bad news is that this is definitely not an abandoned nest, because according to the exoskeleton's biodetectors, the Zerg Moss clinging to the pit walls is biologically active. This means... this is a nest that the Zerg Race are using."

Mu Fan stopped in his tracks, trying to calm his racing heart.

"What's wrong?"

"We may have really gone deep into the Zerg Nest," Mu Fan said, turning his head.

"... Can I say I was certain the moment I saw that disgusting moss? How could something so repulsive grow in a normal place!"

"We really need to be careful this time; we could run into Zeg at any moment."

"In a place like this? Then we'll have to fight them head-on!" White Hair looked around.

"It's best to be careful."

Mu Fan drew out a Laser Spear, but did not activate it. He simply gripped the alloy spear shaft and assumed a defensive stance.

"I hate this kind of scary stuff." Swallowing hard, the White Hair man forced himself to calm down and pressed the trigger of the machine gun module with both hands. He really didn't want to stay in this gloomy environment for another second.

It was so damn scary. Now, when he thinks about those extraterrestrial races that looked like spittoons, he doesn't find them ugly anymore.

No, this handsome man needs to return to normal human society as soon as possible.

This is not a place for good people!

Sensing the eerie atmosphere, she shuddered and quickly followed Mu Fan's footsteps.

The passageway grew wider and wider.

After going a few more minutes deeper, the tunnel was wide enough for seven or eight people to stand side by side, and the top of their heads was more than two meters above the top of the pit wall.

Mu Fan's figure froze again.

"Why did you stop again? Big brother, this is scary!"

There are two roads ahead.

What?

Peeking out from behind, the White Hair indeed discovered two tunnels on the left and right in front of him, Mu Fan was probably choosing which way to go.

"Thinking about which way to go?" White Hair chuckled and leaned closer.

"Hmm." Mu Fan was sensing with his eyes closed, and his mental perception did not detect anything unusual at this moment.

"Go to the left!" the White Hair- haired man said confidently.

Hearing his teammate's confident tone, Mu Fan, who had no idea what the outcome would be, didn't hesitate and said, "Okay."

After walking a few meters, Mu Fan suddenly asked, "How are you so sure you want to choose the left side?"

"Men walk on the left, women on the right. A good man doesn't walk on the right," the White Hair replied matter-of-factly.

Then he saw Mu Fan, who was walking normally ahead, suddenly slip and fall, but quickly regain his footing.

Thirteen minutes have passed, and according to the plan, we should return in two minutes.

Moreover, the communication signal has been cut off. If they don't go back soon, the captain and the others will really get worried.

"There's airflow, and a fishy smell..." Mu Fan suddenly muttered.

"Haha, I told you so! You'll definitely find something if you go to the left."

After the two of them rounded another bend in the road, their view suddenly opened up.

What's that place ahead? It looks huge.

Through the night vision function of the eyepiece, White Hair saw that the pit wall stopped extending three meters ahead, and ahead was a huge space that seemed to have no end!

The two walked out of the passageway at the same time.

"I never imagined there was such a large area underground. It feels like I've entered an auditorium," the White Hair exclaimed, looking up and down.

They were now standing on a platform, with no way forward. Looking at the empty area in front of them, they could tell that they were halfway through this huge space.

"Hey~"

"Hello, hello..."

The White Hair's voice echoed and faded continuously.

"There's no way out."

"Okay." Mu Fan nodded. He figured he could only go back now.

"Wait, let me see what this place looks like. I can only see the outline with the night vision goggles." The White Hair stepped forward and raised his hand.

"Bang!"

A flash of light shot out from the Grenade Launcher under his hand, hit the top of the crater wall, and then slowly fell down.

The entire space was illuminated clearly.

The huge, empty walls were covered with reddish-brown Zerg Moss, a color much darker than what we had seen outside and at the entrance.

"Look down below."

This time, White Hair walked in front, Mu Fan followed. The two stood on the rocky platform and looked down.

Like the first rays of night falling, the sky is filled with the shimmering light of countless stars.

A pale yellow-green light shone from below.

The slowly descending flares finally illuminated the area thirty meters below their feet.

rustling, rustling, rustling...

Yellow-green flashes of light continued to appear intermittently.

Bai White Hair's face turned deathly pale at that moment, and he was sweating profusely. His mouth trembled as he spoke, "Mu Fan... I didn't see wrong, did I?"

Mu Fan's face was also incredibly interesting, but he performed much better than White Hair. He swallowed hard and said, "You didn't see wrong."

"Damn it! What are you waiting for? Run, holy crap!"

With a mournful cry, White Hair turned and dragged Mu Fan away.

Mu Fan, who was always fearless, did not hesitate at all at this moment, and even ran faster than White Hair.

Mu Fan has absolutely no desire to fight right now.

because...

Within that vast space below, the ground and rock walls within sight were covered with countless Zegs!

Those cruel, ever-opening eyes locked onto the two of them almost the instant their eyes met!
