In the end, the White Hair successfully snatched Mu Fan's food, but he spat it out after only two bites.

There's no way around it, it's just too dry!

If I don't finish a piece of food and drink water, I feel like my throat is about to be cut.

His gaze then fell on Mu Fan, and seeing the bulging backpack filled with Compressed Biscuit, White Hair's face twitched.

That's a pervert!

"The next few days won't be easy..." the White Hair said quietly.

"Hmm." Mu Fan finished drinking the water, tore open another pack of Compressed Biscuit biscuits, stuffed it into his mouth, and mumbled indistinctly.

White Hair said he didn't want to talk to this glutton anymore.

An emergency assembly was held early the next morning!

Lin Hao immediately ordered everyone to wake up in advance, and this time he directly assigned 25 teams to carry out the exploration at the same time.

And the accompanying military soldiers drove "Heavy Hammer" Siege Tank to clear the way.

All team captains were deployed in military-standard mechs.

Watching the heavy Tank move with such imposing momentum, their flat cannons, after just two salvos in Siege Mode, blasted open a space of several thousand square meters!

However, they didn't see a single Zeg even when they arrived at the spot where Mu Fan had parked their Spider Vehicle yesterday.

How could this be?

There shouldn't be a single Zeg in the world.

The person in charge of this large force was Luo Jianjin. He frowned as he looked around and dispatched four mechs to move quickly through the woods.

Five minutes later, the mech reported that there was no trace of Zeg up to the shale entrance indicated by the coordinates!

There wasn't even a single Zeg corpse on the ground.

The main force then advanced to the vicinity of the shale formation, Mu Fan and the others walked to the entrance to await further instructions.

However, during their journey, Mu Fan checked the shady side of the Air Root plants several times and found no trace of Zerg Moss.

"Spread out your formation and prepare for defense; switch to Siege Mode!"

The 25 teams were scattered around, and the impressive AA5 "Hammer" Tank extended its mechanical arms to both sides and slammed into the ground. The twin cannons retracted, forming a flat 130mm Plasma Shock Cannon, with the steel muzzle pointing at the sky at a 45° angle.

Once everything was ready, Luo Jianjin didn't let his guard down and called over a team of engineers.

"Put down the probe robot."

A soldier nearby nodded and placed a small Mechanical Spider at the entrance. Soon, the Mechanical Spider came to life and quickly crawled into the exposed shale entrance.

Luo Jianjin held a tactical tablet in his hands and gestured for Mu Fan to come over, handing him another tablet.

Mu Fan was taken aback. He picked up the tactical tablet and looked at it. It was the first-person perspective of the Mechanical Spider, and the familiar tunnels around him reappeared on the screen.

But... the Zerg Moss is gone?!

Seeing Mu Fan frown, Luo Jianjin asked, "Is there a problem?"

"Hmm." Mu Fan nodded, pointing to the exposed rock walls in the image, "Those special reddish-brown moss are gone."

He couldn't directly call it "Zerg Moss," otherwise it would definitely attract the attention of the military.

Luo Jianjin looked at the tablet and confirmed Mu Fan's information.

Mu Fan once said that he discovered Zeg's lair by accidentally touching the remaining fleshy moss on the shady side of the Air Root.

Now that all the fleshy moss has disappeared, Luo Jianjin has a vague deduction in his mind.

Mu Fan, however, immediately concluded that the Zegs in this nest had definitely moved!

Because this time the Zerg Moss disappeared so completely!

"There's a fork in the road ahead," the engineer reported to Luo Jianjin.

The Luo Saihu man looked at Mu Fan.

"Turn left," Mu Fan pointed out the direction to continue infiltrating.

After skillfully changing direction, the Mechanical Spider continued along the path that Mu Fan and the others had taken.

Familiar scenes appeared one after another, and finally, when the scene shifted again, the empty underground lair finally appeared on the screen!

Mu Fan was excited. Yes, this is the place. Just thinking about those densely packed Zegs sent chills down his spine.

"Have we arrived yet?"

"Last time we went in, those Zegs were right below this platform."

"Go down." Luo Jianjin made a hand gesture, and the engineer understood, quickly maneuvering the Mechanical Spider forward.

The image suddenly flipped upside down, but returned to normal after a moment. This was likely due to the Mechanical Spider hanging upside down below the platform, and the camera adjusting its angle.

Below... there's nothing there!

"Why not?"

Mu Fan and White Hair exchanged a glance and shook their heads.

Suddenly, the engineer pointed to a spot on the screen and exclaimed, "Sir, look!"

After zooming in three times, it was finally discovered that at the end of the pit, which resembled a flattened stomach, there was a patch of scattered flesh and blood.

"Mu Fan... this is a giant hatching egg." Black's voice suddenly came. The synchronized image was under its constant monitoring. When this image appeared, Black finally spoke.

"The dispersed egg membrane flaps are over six meters long. Considering the nutrient loss due to the lack of a fungal mat, the original height of this giant hatching egg should be around eight meters. According to the data, this giant hatching egg hatched within 24 hours, and the Zeg inside should be one of the following types—"

"Rhino Bug, Lord, Devourer, Corruptor, Plasma Bug larva! I believe you would not want to see any of these."

Black's words once again revealed startling information.

As someone who had already secretly disseminated information about the Zerg Race through hand-drawn diagrams, Mu Fan had seen all five Zeg appearances.

Just looking at those 3D images is enough to feel the terror of these Zegs.

According to the information provided by Black, these types of Zeg are the highest-ranking creatures in the Zerg Race.

Each individual instance is enough to influence the course of a battle.

But now Black is telling him that such a terrifying creature exists here.

Mu Fan's heart was pounding, and a faint black aura occasionally flickered in his eyes.

A chilling, bloodthirsty aura surfaced within him. Mu Fan shook his head vigorously, finally dispelling the inexplicable presence.

"Mu Fan, Mu Fan?"

Luo Jianjin before he saw the boy's eyes and came to his senses.

Besides Luo Jianjin, who came from the Special Operations Team, there were also two staff officers accompanying the army. They frowned as they looked at the hatching eggs of this size, because it seemed that such huge eggs had never appeared in the military's database.

Furthermore, in their database, the Zerg Race should also have a creature called the Brain Bug and the Cliff Bug, as well as a possibly speculated flying creature, but nothing else.

These insects shouldn't be this big.

"Sir, ultrasonic detection complete, 3D map of the tunnel has appeared."

Pressing an icon reveals a 3D image of half of an underground pit.

"Why is it only half?"

"There is an obstacle blocking the way. If you go right from the fork in the road, you will encounter an obstacle after going about ten meters. It is possible that Zeg cut off this passage."

The engineers quickly controlled the Mechanical Spider to crawl over, and sure enough, the huge rock had completely blocked the way.

The probe waves could not penetrate the obstacle at all, meaning that the thickness was more than ten meters.

"Alright, come back now."

Luo Jianjin waved his hand and gave the order to withdraw the probe.

The Mechanical Spider made a rustling sound as it moved, and soon returned to the ground to be stored away.

Everyone looked at Luo Jianjin, awaiting his command.

Representatives of elite students, including Young Master Zhang Tang, Xi Ze, Qiao Bolun, Gao Baiyun, and Shi Sen, all stared at Luo Jianjin.

His orders will determine their fate.

The naive look in the Luo Saihu man's eyes vanished. After thinking for a moment, he pointed ahead, his gaze seemingly extending beyond the rocky slope.

"Warfire All-Terrain Exploration Vehicle deployed! Troops—advance!"
