It's not too much to say that a beauty is a little bit stronger

Darkness quickly engulfed him, and everything around him became blurred. Only the noise in the helmet and the harsh sound of electricity accompanied him.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Huai slowly opened his eyes. It was already pitch black around him, with only the faint light of his helmet flickering in the dimness.

He lay on the cold ground, his body aching slightly.

Intermittent crying sounds came from the communicator beside my ear.

Someone is still alive.

Xiao Huai frowned, propped himself up and looked around, but the visibility was too low at the moment and he had to wait for his eyes to adjust to the darkness.

Even though it was dark, he set off anyway.

Because during the fall, Lu Yuanshi was separated from him.

Soon after, he found several team members who had fallen with him.

The expressions on those people's faces were somewhat different from before. Even though their expressions were still as calm as before, there were deep emotions hidden in their eyes.

despair.

Not far away, Xiao Huai's eyes fell on a figure squatting on the ground.

He is the one with the most obvious emotional state among this group of people.

The man was facing a corpse, his shoulders shaking and he was crying softly.

Xiao Huai walked closer, and with the dim light, he could see the appearance of the corpse clearly.

It was the captain of their team.

Unfortunately, he was not as lucky as them. During the fall, his equipment was cut by the sharp ice blade. The flesh was so fragile in such an extreme environment that the cold blade mercilessly cut his body.

His body was in a horrific state, with broken limbs, multiple bones and a broken nose, and his face was unrecognizable.

The cold ground was covered with blood, and the pungent smell of blood filled the darkness.

Xiao Huai stood there, watching the scene in silence.

After all, humans are so fragile in the face of nature.

The captain who had been marching alongside them not long ago has now left them forever.

At this moment, Su Haoqian's voice came into everyone's ears through the communication equipment, his tone was calm.

"Hey, can anyone hear me? If you can, please remember what I'm going to say next. I noticed you fell into a crack, and the crack in the ice itself connects to our destination. This isn't the end."

His voice was particularly clear in the silent darkness:

"The underground is more like a maze with complex paths. Please proceed with caution. I will now synchronize a new map to your equipment. Follow the instructions and don't wander around."

Everyone looked at the positioning screen on their arms, and sure enough, a new map began to download synchronously, showing the complex terrain structure under the ice. The crisscrossing routes made people feel uneasy, but at least it gave them a sense of direction.

"Listen carefully," Su Haoqian continued, "All teams have been destroyed. The plan must be changed. Since we haven't been completely wiped out yet, we must continue the mission. Bring the potion with you. You are the hope of mankind."

After hearing Su Haoqian's words, the heavy emotions of the others seemed to ease a little and they began to get a little excited.

However, Xiao Huai felt something was a little unusual and strange in his heart, but he did not show it.

All three teams fell into the ice cracks, which shows that this is not a low-probability event, but is very likely to happen.

But they had no backup plan.

If this is true, Su Haoqian must be hiding something from them.

Or to put it another way - their lives are not that important.

Just when everyone was planning to follow the planned route given by Su Haoqian, Xiao Huai suddenly refused. He did not intend to go with them.

This sudden rejection stunned everyone, and then they became angry and confused.

"What are you talking about? We must act together. You know you are the core of this plan!" A team member strongly asked Xiao Huai to change his decision.

Xiao Huai did not answer, but just looked at them indifferently. The next second, a black diamond flashed in his hand and directly crossed the cheek of the team member.

The bloodstains on the team member's face made everyone gasp. They never expected that Xiao Huai had such power. Everyone subconsciously took a few steps back.

At that moment, everyone understood that persuasion was ineffective, and their expressions became somewhat complicated.

"You said I am the core, then what exactly is my role? Have you asked Su Haoqian?" Xiao Huai's cold words made everyone fall into deep thought.

Everyone believed in Su Haoqian unconditionally, no matter what he wanted to do.

He even planned to sacrifice everyone to protect Xiao Huai.

"Su Haoqian and I are very similar, so what if he is about to become another me?"

The moment the words fell, everyone fell silent.

The second Xiao Huai, the second savior, and also the second destroyer.

……

They knew they couldn't stop Xiao Huai and could only watch him leave.

After Xiao Huai's figure gradually disappeared in the darkness, several team members exchanged glances and decided to report the matter to Su Haoqian.

There was a crackling sound of electricity coming from the communicator, and after a long time, there was a response from Su Haoqian.

"Let him go, and continue your mission."

Su Haoqian's voice still sounded calm, as if this was nothing to be surprised about.

This surprised everyone. They had thought that Su Haoqian would do everything he could to keep Xiao Huai, but they didn't expect him to agree so easily.

For a moment, no one knew what to say and could only silently follow orders and continue moving forward.

·Northern Icefield Dawn Base·

Su Haoqian was alone in the monitoring room of the base.

All the bodies in the base disappeared, and even the entourage who followed Su Haoqian and were responsible for protecting his safety were all gone.

At this moment, he had lost his decadent look, and even the dark circles under his eyes were gone. When he was silent, he looked extremely cold.

Xiao Huai's departure was part of his plan.

The core, the so-called core, is just said to Xiao Huai.

Wherever he goes, the monsters will follow.

He didn't care whether Xiao Huai would leave the team.

Likewise, he did not entrust the task of sealing to the three teams.

The three task forces, to put it nicely, are task forces, but to be honest—

They are just a snack to whet your appetite.

Just like these people who committed suicide on the base.

Su Haoqian subconsciously reached into his pocket to take out a cigarette, but he stopped.

Looking around, I saw on the surveillance screen that ferocious ice crystal monsters were wandering around the base, greedily gnawing on the nearby corpses.

Several giant pythons coiled around a twisted corpse, their ice-blue scales reflecting cold light, sharp ice spikes extending along their backs. They opened their ferocious mouths and gradually swallowed the corpse into their mouths.

In his eyes, these monsters were just like pets.

The person he was waiting for was coming.

After a while, the surveillance screen flickered, and some people in gorgeous clothes appeared out of thin air.

"The God Eater's invitation! Hehehe, we're the only ones who would agree to go."
