"In my opinion, we don't necessarily need to follow the original route. It's too dangerous here." Luo Li naturally knew that the direction of Team γ was the destination, but he couldn't say it directly, so he could only tell everyone in a tactful way.

"As a special team of the alliance, you're very powerful, but it's unwise to split up your forces in such an unknown place," Luo Li said. "If I were the enemy, and I were in the dark and discovered your splitting up, I could easily wipe you out one by one."

"Don't be so quick to refute. Think about Team β. Even though they called for help in time, they still couldn't hold out until we arrived!" Luo Li waved his hand to stop the Xiaolong people from speaking, and continued, "If Team γ has found the location of that base, then the defenses there are probably even tighter. Wouldn't it be perfect for us to go and support them?"

"Even if it's not, then we can definitely confirm that the mysterious base is located on our route. Then, combining the strength of the two teams will make things much easier."

Luo Li's words made sense, and everyone looked at Cathy. After all, she was the captain and she was the one who made the decisions.

"Although I personally do not agree with your proposal, after seeing the power of the mutant python, I have to be responsible for my team. Let's join forces." Cathy also agreed to Luo Li's request, and then called the captain of the γ team to explain her intentions to him, so as not to let the other party think that she and others looked down on their strength or stole their credit.

But after the other party answered the call, her face darkened when she heard his words.

"Captain Korem, I appreciate your kindness, but I believe our team is more than capable of completing the mission. Beta Squad's failure was due to a surprise attack, and we, Gamma Squad, won't make that mistake."

"Captain Kolem, please focus on your own mission..."

Cathy listened to the words of the γ team leader with a dark face and hung up the communication.

"After the Beta Team, which was of similar strength to them, was destroyed, they were still so unwise." Cathy shook her head helplessly. Since the other party disagreed, she could only give up.

"In that case, then forget it." Luo Li narrowed his eyes. It was a rare occasion for him to be kind-hearted. Since the other party did not appreciate it, then forget it. Even Buddha would not save those who seek death, let alone him, Luo Li. Since the other party was destined to die, why should he try!

Everyone slowly returned to the original route and explored the suspicious areas on this side.

This ruined temple is really huge, and no one knows who built it. With the current physical fitness of the Xiaolong team, the search process was extremely fast. After searching for a whole day, they only searched most of the area along their team's route.

"Judging from the direction of today's search, it is highly likely that we are not where the target is." Everyone was discussing today's search situation.

It's very simple. After searching today, not to mention powerful monsters, even ordinary mutated creatures are very rare. However, this does not mean that this area is not the destination. After all, the search has not been completed. It may also be a tactic of the other party to confuse the enemy and interfere with everyone's judgment.

"It's getting dark. Monica and I will be in charge of the first round of vigilance. You can rest after eating and take turns later." Luo Li said.

Luo Li's words made everyone look at him strangely, but after thinking about it, it was normal for their relationship to be like this.

Two blushes appeared on Monica's face, making her look even more beautiful under the light of the bonfire.

"Okay, you guys have to be alert and don't neglect it because of other things." Angela said ambiguously.

“…” Luo Li, Monica.

"Don't worry, I won't let you be eaten by a monster in your dream!" Luo Li said lightly.

"Ha ha!"

"hehe."

"whee."

……

Everyone laughed and then gnawed on the dry food in their hands.

As Bella was slowly eating her dry food, she suddenly remembered that during the day when everyone was facing the mutant python, Luo Li had only said half of his words. After swallowing the dry food in her mouth, she said weakly:

"During the day, when we faced the mutant python, I remember you seemed to have something to say, but you didn't say it."

Bella rarely took the initiative to speak, and everyone's attention was immediately focused on Bella. Then, remembering what happened during the day, they looked at Luo Li.

"Yes, I also remember that you seemed to have something to say at that time, but you didn't say it. I'm very curious, what did you find from the mutant python?" Cathy asked curiously.

"Uh." Luo Li didn't expect Bella to be so thoughtful. He was just confused at the time. Is this girl so thoughtful?

Luo Li was not so narcissistic as to think that Bella liked him, he knew it in his heart.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "There's nothing I can't tell you. You'll gradually discover this."

Luo Li paused, thinking about the situation during the day when he encountered the mutant python, and then said, "When I faced the mutant python, its body was extremely strong and flexible, and its saliva was corrosive, but it had vision problems."

"When we faced the Spider Queen, her silk was strange and difficult to tangle with. She controlled the power of the earth, but her body was extremely fragile, even slightly weaker than us after we broke through. It was only because of her large body and strong vitality, coupled with the effect of the emerald potion, that she was able to resist for a long time."

"Then there was the corpse dragon Flippy. His body was quite powerful, and he controlled the power of ice, but he had no intelligence and relied on his revived instincts to launch attacks."

Luo Li talked about the differences between the three broken-level creatures, but did not say what he had discovered.

Everyone pondered Luo Li's words and found them to be true. Cathy narrowed her eyes and said, "You mean, although these broken-level creatures seem powerful, they all have fatal weaknesses. As long as we find their weaknesses, we can easily fight them, right?"

Luo Li nodded approvingly. "Although each of the creatures that have broken through the rank is powerful, they all have fatal flaws. However, after we humans break through the rank, we will not have these flaws."

"Our bodies aren't stronger than those of level-breaking creatures. Brother Bu, your fire control isn't as strong as the Corpse Dragon's icy power. Your physique can't sustain a wide-ranging attack like Flippy's, unless you fight tooth and nail. The same goes for you, Cathy. Although you're stronger, your bullet time won't have the same effect as the Crocodile Priest did."

"Admittedly, after our breakthrough, our physical fitness has significantly improved, but we are not stronger than the creatures that have broken through the order. However, we do not have any fatal flaws. Whether it is speed, strength, reaction, recovery, or external power, it is more than enough to support us in fighting against the creatures that have broken through the order. Coupled with our intelligence, we can kill the opponent in a one-on-one fight."

"It can even be said that even if we haven't broken through, relying on our wisdom advantage, we can still defeat the strong with the weak. Isn't that what the corpse dragon did back then?"

Luo Li spoke a lot in one breath. He took a sip of the hot water Monica handed him and continued, "What I thought at the time was, could this be the reason why our human genetic lock is almost impossible to break through?"

"Because once we break through, we will become the strongest creatures who have broken through. For example, the Duke of Normandy is obviously much stronger than other creatures who have broken through."

"What you said makes sense, but we have seen too few creatures that have broken through the order, so I don't know if it is true." Cathy said with her eyes closed.

After finishing this topic, everyone went into the tents one after another to rest.

After everyone left, Monica stood behind Luo Li and gently massaged his shoulders.

"Then what are you worried about?" Monica asked, looking at Luo Li's frown.

"It is extremely difficult for us to break through the restrictions of the life lock. Even most people cannot do it. However, those who have used the emerald agent can easily become powerful people who break through the ranks. Like the gold medal fighter, although he only has a physical body that breaks through the ranks, he can be mass-produced." Luo Li frowned and said. If this continued, he didn't know when he would develop to the level that everyone would be afraid of.

"I really don't know how Dr. Z did it." Luo Li sighed. He could only say that he was worthy of being Dr. Z. He was so calm in the face of so many epic suits and was manipulating everything behind the scenes.

"Why should we think so much? Your base is just starting out, so it's normal to have difficulties in development. But you are here, and we are here to help you." Monica said softly, "I believe you can succeed!"

"Haha!" Luo Li laughed and pulled Monica into his arms from behind. "You should rest for a while. I'll be on guard."

Monica stretched out her arms and hooked them around Luo Li's neck, then rested her head on his chest and hummed inaudibly.

……

The next day, everyone was ready and started a new day of searching at Cathy's suggestion. However, this time everyone no longer had any hope, but they continued searching just because of the mission.

As expected, after searching "a", the area under the responsibility of their Xiaolong team, they found nothing else.

"The signal of Team γ has disappeared. It seems that it is really in the direction they are." Cathy fiddled with the instrument in her hand and said with a frown.

"Then let's go and take a look. I hope they are still alive. Don't be like Team Beta, who couldn't even hold on for a while." Brother Bu frowned.

"set off!"

After several twists and turns, everyone returned to their original position and then headed towards the direction that Team γ was responsible for.

"There are traces of fighting nearby. Get in the car, otherwise it will take a long time to find it." Luo Li glanced at the many dead mutated creatures on the ground and said lightly.

"Ok!"

Everyone drove along the route of the γ team. After driving for a while, they stopped in front of a cave entrance.

After taking a look at the situation ahead, Cathy signaled everyone to get off the bus.

"There's a strange entrance ahead. I think it contains the answers we're looking for!"
