Chapter 179 Chase
Thousands of eyes emerged from its body, connected only by a thin thread. Those eyes peered around, searching for ants that might harm the little monster.
Lu Yize and the others did not make any move at this time, hiding in the shadow area. They had only moved before, but the monster's eyes seemed to sense them and kept getting closer.
When they stopped moving, the monster lost its senses and began searching again. As if sensing the heresy, more and more monsters of the same kind kept gathering in the room.
The once empty laboratory was gradually filled with monsters that poured in. Their eyes searched every corner of the place. Jiang Yue used her supernatural ability to shield their senses, leaving a small gap.
Lu Yize cannot use his special ability to directly reach the upper level. They can only reach the upper level through the passage on the monster's head.
The Fifth Squad Leader and Lu Yize gestured a few times to collect the corpse. After Lu Yize roughly understood, he nodded. Then, Lu Yize cooperated and used spatial teleportation to throw the dark green light that appeared in the Fifth Squad Leader's hand onto the little monster.
The light pierced the little monster's body in an instant, and the little monster screamed. The light seemed to be attached to its body and gradually began to burn. The little monster kept rolling on the ground, and its screams pierced through everyone and the monsters present.
The monsters instantly panicked, surrounding the little monster and controlling its wounds, while Lu Yize and the others took the opportunity to move quickly and climb upwards.
The monster's eyes detected Lu Yize and the others. Enraged, all of the monster's eyes turned towards their location, relentlessly pursuing them deeper into the passage.
Lu Yize and his team moved with incredible speed, managing to evade their pursuers every time they navigated the winding passage until an iron gate appeared before them. Even with their combined efforts, Lu Yize and the Fifth District Captain were unable to push it open.
The monster's eyes kept getting closer behind them. They were about to be scanned when Lu Yize used his mental power. After inputting his mental power, the iron door was finally pried open.
With a "bang," the narrow iron gate was pushed open, and the fifth squad leader fell to the ground. Lu Yize pulled Jiang Yue to dodge in an instant.
Less than a second after they emerged, the ever-extending monster's eye followed suit, peering upwards from the passage below.
It even used its supernatural abilities to sweep around the area, damaging the walls but not enough to cause them to collapse. After confirming several times that it had not found any other creatures, its eyes revealed doubt, but in the end it silently withdrew its eyes back into the passage.
After the swarm of eyes left, the three who had hidden in a corner and created their own private space finally caught their breath. However, they didn't go out for a while because they weren't sure if the monsters were still guarding the entrance to the passage.
At this moment, the Fifth District Captain looked solemn, even a little uncertain. He asked in a low voice, "If I'm not mistaken, are they all fourth-tier?"
Lu Yize hummed softly. If nothing unexpected happened, all the adult monsters were at the fourth rank, and the number of these monsters ranged from dozens to hundreds.
"How could there be... so many?" The Fifth Squad Leader felt a chill run down his spine at the information he had gathered. There were very few fourth-tier humans, but these unknown monsters were everywhere.
Lu Yize obviously couldn't give him an answer. Only after confirming that the monsters had indeed left did Lu Yize take out his storage ring and illuminate the area around them.
This is a closed space. Apart from the passage leading downstairs, there seems to be only a window in the wall. Lu Yize noticed that the monster was very wary of this location and did not go any further.
What makes a fourth-order creature wary is clearly strength that surpasses the fourth order. Behind this window, it's unknown what kind of creature is being imprisoned.
Lu Yize stood still, while Jiang Yue, who was following him, approached step by step, her eyes glowing red. Lu Yize noticed her strangeness and grabbed her arm.
But the moment he touched Jiang Yue, he heard a voice in Jiang Yue's mind. No, it was less a voice and more like a call, a cry for help from someone on the same frequency.
Lu Yize has always been suspicious, and even now, he still suspects that this is a conspiracy to lure them here.
The Fifth Squad Leader couldn't hear those voices, but his mission was to track and investigate, even if it meant his death. His intuition told him he had to get into this place.
"You wait here, I'll go in. If anything unexpected happens, leave immediately and tell Chen Mingzhang what's going on, and tell him to be careful," the Fifth Squad Leader said solemnly.
If before entering this experimental base he still held a sliver of hope that the apocalypse would end and dreamed of returning to a peaceful life, now, after seeing those hordes of fourth-order creatures, he only hoped that he could die a worthy death.
After he finished speaking, ready to make a solemn sacrifice of righteousness and dignity, he was about to turn over and go inside when Lu Yize grabbed him by the back of the neck by the collar. Lu Yize looked impatient and said, "What's the rush? Did I say I wasn't going?"
Even if it really is a trap to lure them here, since they've already come this far, there's no reason not to go in.
The fifth squad leader was taken aback when he heard Lu Yize's words. Then Lu Yize released his mental energy and kept probing inside until his mental energy touched a sealed container. Only then did he slowly withdraw it.
Lu Yize opened his eyes, his gaze deep and unfathomable, and said to the two people beside him, "Let's go inside."
