In night vision mode, the footage recorded by the drone glowed with a faint green light. The five people who were chatting easily a second ago seemed to have lost their souls at the same time. They lowered their heads and slumped their shoulders, as if they were hung on a hook. puppets on.
Li Liang held his breath and stared at the screen intently.
It is likely that some kind of change occurred next, causing these experienced veterans to disappear quietly.
However, after more than ten seconds, the image stopped abruptly.
Then a hesitant voice sounded from the communication channel: "Well, while we were recording here, the Southbridge chip of this puppy suddenly shut down."
"What's the reason?" someone asked.
"...Ti protocol is revised, DDP module communication is interrupted."
"Impossible!" came the exclamation from the communication channel in unison.
"If you don't believe me, see for yourself," the commando who connected the drone said helplessly, "The Ti protocol has really been tampered with."
In the helmet's internal display, a data log popped up. Numbers mixed with symbols scrolled rapidly. Li Liang couldn't understand it at all. Fortunately, Jin Ji couldn't understand it either. He asked aloud in the communication: "What's going on?"
The channel was completely silent. The commandos who could understand the data were obviously in extreme shock. After a long time, someone trembled: "Commander, the system has been penetrated. If the enemy has the ability to modify the Ti protocol, then he can... take over the mothership." .”
Li Liang realized that the commander of the third company had said when he came down that someone else seemed to be talking to the Rift Camp. Now it seemed that the communication system had indeed been invaded and false information was sent outside.
However, the strange image captured by the drone still cannot be explained. There must be another reason for the disappearance of the Fourth Company Headquarters and even the loss of contact with the underground city camp.
"Fart, no one can take over my fleet," Jung snorted, took off his helmet with his hands on his hands, "Quickly fix the console for me!"
The engineers in the commando team got busy, and ten minutes later, the console finally lit up.
Everyone gathered around the console, and a three-dimensional holographic sand table gradually took shape on the table.
The wireframe outlines the fissure camp, Hole No. 1, the location of the elevator, and the headquarters camp of the Fourth Company in sequence. Then a horizontal tunnel appears, connecting the "Cavity No. 4". Its internal space is obviously more exaggerated than Hollow No. 1. Through the tunnel, The ground slopes downward, and there are several places that are directly in the shape of cliffs, marked with "Drop Point 01", "Drop Point 02", "Drop Point 03"...
The scale of the space displayed on the sand table continues to shrink, and there is another tunnel on the lower right side of Hole No. 4. There is more than one tunnel, but an extended network of tunnels. Many of them are marked "explored", and one of them is highlighted and stretched rapidly. The "No. 7 hole" was connected.
Hole No. 7 is filled with huge pillars that are as high as the ground. The ground also slopes downward, and the "exit" is another cliff.
Then, "Cave No. 7" instantly shrunk to the size of a basketball, and a wider space appeared, labeled "Underground City". The upper part was rugged, with an astonishing building complex vaguely visible, and the lower part was a network of tunnels.
As the sand table was constructed, extending downward like a plant root system, a new geological cavity was connected at the end of a certain tunnel, and the label turned out to be "unnamed."

"They had just discovered the hole and something happened," Jin Ji said.
Jung held the console with both hands and said in a low voice, "Can you contact the base camp?"
The commando operating the console shook his head.
"Where's Camp Rift?"
"Communications are completely interrupted, and the underground city camp is also... huh?" The commando was stunned for a moment, "This is... someone alive!"
Everyone noticed at the same time that the location marked "Underground City Camp" suddenly began to flash, and a communication request was being initiated from a depth of 20,000 kilometers underground.
"Father God..." Jung turned sideways and asked for instructions.
Li Liang nodded and said, "Come in."
For a moment, the top of the sand table showed that the communication was connected. However, the voice coming from the other side was extremely strange.
Hu-chi-Hu-chi-
Everyone looked at each other.
Li Liang frowned. The sound sounded like an old-fashioned blower, and a bit like a person having an asthma attack and struggling to exhale. In short, it was definitely not a sound that normal humans could make.
At this time, Jung twisted his neck and his voice came out from between his teeth: "Who are you?"
The snoring stopped suddenly, and the next moment, a clear man's voice sounded from the opposite side: "Who are you?"
Everyone was stunned.
Because the tone of this sentence is not a rhetorical question, but a repetition of Jung's words, and even the anger contained in it is perfectly imitated, but because of the different voice, it sounds more sinister.
The fortress fell into a deathly silence, and the strange images recorded by the drone could not be suppressed in everyone's mind.
Could it be that the person initiating communication in the underground city camp at this moment is not a human being?
Suddenly, the third company commander standing behind Jung seemed to hear something, and unconsciously hummed a nasal sound: "Huh?"
Almost at the same time, a clearer voice than before came from the communication: "Huh?"
The third company commander's face suddenly turned red from suppressing it, and he had to hold back not to make a sound.
Li Liang shook his finger, indicating to disconnect the communication, and then asked: "What did you hear?"
Facing everyone's gaze, the third company commander shouted with an extremely certain tone: "It's Chuck. That voice just now was definitely Chuck's!"
Jin Ji wondered: "You can tell who he is after just two sentences?"
"Chuck's voice is very familiar to me. He grew up with me. He was previously the leader of the forward observation team of my third company. He was temporarily transferred to the fourth company because of "Operation Hunting."
Chuck?
Li Liang had some impression of this name. In the mission record taken by the Fourth Reconnaissance Company, a scout named Chuck released a drone at the crack to conduct the first exploration of the underground.
However, the sound in that video was a little noisy, and he couldn't recall the characteristics of Chuck's voice.
"I know Chuck, a kid who grew up in the Dark Star's T-area," Jung said with a solemn expression, "but the voice just now was not that of a living person."
The weird whistling sound was still in their ears, and everyone knew clearly that Chuck was probably in danger.
At this time, the dungeon camp in the three-dimensional sandbox flickered again.
The strange existence deep underground sent another communication request.
Li Liang shook his head, stared at the sand table and said calmly: "Just go and take a look and you'll know what's down there."

——————
Underground city, "nest" camp.
The lights were bright and Chuck stood alone at the console.
He tilted his head, and the back of his head was covered with bloody holes. There was a metallic luster inside the holes, which seemed to be some kind of interface. His arms hung weakly, and the pool of blood under his feet slowly spread around.
Several metal tentacles were continuously connected to the interface on the back of his head, causing his body to twitch with each insertion and extraction.
At some point, the lights went out.
Chuck's voice sounded in the darkness:
"Who are you?"
"Um?"
"Who are you?"
"Um?"
"Hey hey hey hey..."
