hat you are looking for."At the sound of it, he immediately got up, knelt on one knee before the ripples, and without saying a word, his eyes were already red."Angel, please save our people!""I know,...The ripples were now more definite, the warden of that underground base was indeed the CPU of the game. The way they looked when they gave her that thing that expanded spatial capabilities... so full of hope. It showed just how impure their motives were.

Now, only gamers remained here. Ripples stood silently among them, and she sensed several pairs of eyes watching her subtly, as if unintentionally glancing over her before returning their gaze, all secretly observing her.

A subtle ripple played at the corner of her lips, it seemed these people weren't simply undertaking a mission for the underground base.

"Miss Ripple, they want to make an alliance with us. What do you think"

Carter still came to ask for Ripple's opinion.

"I have no objections, but you best remind William and the others to watch out for these people stabbing us in the back."

R ripples said with a smile.

Although she knew these people were only targeting her, it didn't stop her from tying them all to the same boat. After all, they were her teammates.

"I understand."

Actually, according to Carter's opinion, it would be best not to form an alliance with these people. However, there are many of them, and he doesn't want to tear up his face right now. After all, players secretly sabotaging each other is not uncommon.

Apparently, Lian Yi also saw through these people's careful thoughts and even reminded them to be careful. It seemed like she felt it was better to keep an eye on them.

As it turned out, Ripple's senses were incredibly acute. At that moment, the several squad leaders received a new mission issued by the game system. They took advantage of this opportunity to acquire weapons and eliminate Ripple, the only female member of Carter Squad.

I also attached Ripples' information, but the game system cunningly shielded her combat power, only displaying her as an intermediate player. This led those who accepted the mission to believe that the only difficulty was drawing away her teammates, after all, they had heard of the strength of Carter Squad.

Since they had arrived at the mission location, each squad showed their skills and began surveying the entire city of Q. Their best hope was to avoid the Black Fusion Worm swarms, as no one wanted to engage those creatures in close combat - after all, they could merge endlessly.

"Currently, there is no trace of the Black Mites. There are two possibilities: one is that they have left Q City, and the other is that they are still hiding in that underground laboratory."

The captain of the other team analyzed.

"Since we haven't seen any black melters, or any other insects for that matter, it means we won't be attacked for the time being. This gives us a perfect opportunity to quickly make our way to that underground research facility and figure out our next move."

Carter also expressed his opinion.

Carter's proposal was passed unanimously. Regardless of whether the Black Mites stay in Q City, they are to make good use of this time.

Sixteen cars set off again, weaving through the streets of Q City. Carter also drove his SUV at high speed, like riding a roller coaster.

Ripple then said to his teammates:

"The Black Melters should be waiting for us in the underground lab. When we get there, try to lure the Black Melters out, then set up the defense shield and get inside. I'll use my sonic weapon to take them out."

"Do you think you can handle going in alone"

William asked.

"You have to give it a try. If I fail, you'll be the first to know, and then you'll know what to do."

The ripples were once again sent flying up and down, but she still said with an unchanged face.

"Got it."

They are just gamers. Taking on the dungeon base's missions is also for passing game levels, so even if a mission fails, it doesn't matter much. As long as they survive and leave here, they can continue to level up.

Before the sun set, they finally reached the entrance of the underground research institute. It was a three-story building surrounded by iron railings, with a sign above the door that read: "Unauthorized personnel prohibited! Enter at your own risk!"

"This is it!"

"Rest for half an hour, and then we'll go in."

Carter stated directly that he was already the default mission leader.

At this time, William walked over with a grim expression and said to Ripple and Carter:

"We're out of luck. Those Black Molds are guarding the last remaining survivors in a chamber at the bottom of the underground lab, right outside a door. They haven't left the facility, so if we go in, it'll be like stirring up a hornet's nest."

Don't worry! With so many of us, those Black Fusion Worms will come out sooner or later. When they do, you guys hold them back so I can get in.

Ripple curled her lips into a smile, for she had already discovered that a player had released a lure, walking towards them. Apparently, he wanted to lead the Black Melt Worms to their side, and under the attack of the worms, scatter the entire squad, making it easier for him to take advantage.

As ripples reminded them, Carter and the others also found something amiss. William directly blurted out a curse and then got into a conflict with the player who released the pheromone agent. The rest of the people also gathered around, apparently there were quite a few players looking to take advantage of the situation.

Ripple wasn't worried. She had already heard the sound of wings beating, clearly the bait was working, and the Black Fusion Worms were flying towards their delicious meal.

To increase their speed, they quickly merged together during flight. The merged Black Fusion Worm's speed increased drastically, and in less than five minutes, the first batch of eight-legged, human-sized Black Fusion Worms burst out from a three-story building.

"Black fungus is out!"

Someone shouted, reminding everyone.

"Be careful yourselves!"

Ripples rushed toward Carter and several others, nodding briefly before turning and dashing into the building, going the opposite way. This caught the few captains who were trying to take advantage of the chaos completely off guard. To complete their mission didn't require such reckless abandon! The next moment, they forgot all about Ripples' predicament because a black molten worm's maw fired directly at their heads.

The deadly thread stretched endlessly at this moment, circling around her in ripples, protecting her within. It severed the extending mouthparts and insect legs with precision, like a shuttle-shaped blade piercing through the swarm of Black Melting Insects. In an instant, it was swallowed by the horde.

Carter watched as several ripples disappeared, knowing they couldn't stay and fight. These black fusion worms were too fast; they could only conduct a full-coverage thermal weapon attack, but the consumption was too great. Their bullets weren't unlimited either. So they fought while retreating, trying their best to lure these black fusion worms away from the underground research institute.

"The shield is now activated, come in!"

At Carter's command, the team members entered the light curtain defense shield. This shield was small, only twenty square meters in size, like a tent, just enough to protect their five people. This was what Ripple had specifically requested from Commander Wan, with the aim of safely bringing back the research personnel.

The ripples were now rushing downwards layer by layer, her speed was swift and she showed no desire to fight. By the time she reached the last layer, a massive black amalgam worm stood before her, resembling a small hill with twelve legs that blocked the door. Upon catching the scent of food, it rapidly fired out its maw. ripples turned his head to face the man beside him and said:"Please send over a crew of woodcutters. Have them fell the trees in the areas I've marked. I need to set up an array."Wu Siming couldn't q...
