Although the thing only showed a little shadow and then disappeared, the tense and panic atmosphere in the cave did not diminish at all, but became more and more intense.

Everyone was holding their breath and looking at the dark surroundings with wide eyes.The creatures floating in the air were like burning ashes, floating and covering everyone.

At this moment when everyone was on alert, the entomologist who had previously studied the oriole spider suddenly unlocked the lock and took a step forward.

"Uncle Zhang, what are you doing?" Jiang Yuxing quickly grabbed him.

If one more person is lost under his nose, he will be kicked out and used as a companion spirit plant with the water monster in the laboratory.

But Uncle Zhang ignored him at all and continued to move forward despite being pulled, like a summoned zombie.

"He must have seen it too." Ling Jiangyue said a faint word at the right time.

But there are no shadows here. What exactly do you see?Jiang Yuxing had goosebumps all over his body.

Without saying a word, Lin Zheng hit Uncle Zhang on the shoulder with the butt of his gun, causing him to wake up from the pain. He then asked Jiang Yuxing to take over and turned to look in the direction of Uncle Zhang's perspective.

"Can you see it?" he asked.

He didn’t name anyone or look at the person, but Ling Jiangyue seemed to have activated the exclusive dialogue request and immediately answered: “It’s been blocked.”

The locks on their waists were connected, and they wanted to speak in a low voice, so she was almost pressed against him, her voice accompanied by shallow breathing brushing against his ear, almost distracting Lin Zheng.

But the next second he had no time to lose focus.

"I saw it! It's overhead!"

"boom!"

Ling Jiangyue's scream was followed by the sound of a gunshot. After being silenced, the sound was not loud, but the thing that was hit screamed, and the weird sound wave frequency echoed in the cave, making people feel sad. .

The floating creatures in the air seemed to be used to cooperating with such sounds, and in the blink of an eye they increased to a terrifying number again, like bats rushing out of their nests.

"Bend down! Protect your head!"

Ling Jiangyue was pushed down by Lin Zheng's shoulders and ducked down. She was blocked in his arms and could only hear a buzzing sound.

At this time, their goggles can really only protect their eyes, and they can't see clearly from the front, back, left, and right.

Countless "ashes" were about to bury them. Lin Jia was shouting something anxiously, but the communicator seemed to have lost its function. It was buzzing, and no one knew what she was talking about.

Ling Jiangyue could barely hear it, but the closest thing to her was Lin Zheng's heartbeat and breathing.

They are too close.

The other sounds seemed to be shouts from a world away. She could only vaguely hear the noise in the iron bucket filled with salt water.

"While the light is still useful, retreat outside!" Lin Zheng's clear voice suddenly cut off this sense of isolation and led her outside.

The Special Operations Office has encountered countless dangerous situations. Being unable to communicate is no big deal. Tacit gestures can also express information. Within 2 minutes, everyone was evacuating.

Following the direction in which the floating creature flew away, they retreated to the fork where they had just come down. A group of people were panting in embarrassment, with a thick layer of "ash" covering their bodies.

"Keep climbing, the people from the scientific expedition team will go first."

"Lin Jia takes the sound wave generator and goes behind them, Xu Jiayan takes Ling Jiangyue..."

"Wait a minute." Ling Jiangyue imitated their state, perfectly simulating the reaction of an ordinary person who was scared and panicked.

"They are approaching, the air fluctuations are obvious, Lin Zheng——"

"how?"

"I saw them, like, snakes?"

Following the direction she pointed, the shape of the creature finally appeared in everyone's infrared scanner, and several scientists stopped.

"A snake? It doesn't look like it."

"It had wings before." "It's not a snake, there are only snake heads on both sides, and in the middle... are there earth air creatures? Is it the shape of those microorganisms gathered together?"

"It is indeed as tall as an adult human being, and the color is gradually coming out. It seems to be the color of birch bark?"

"Mimicry or simply protective coloration? Animals disguise themselves as plant colors to avoid natural enemies?"

"Who would be its natural enemy in this place?"

That thing revealed its true identity under the gradually disappearing floating creatures. Everyone looked at it like a god, forgetting the danger just now.

Even though it was a terrifying giant butterfly, they didn't seem surprised. They just wanted to see the patterns on the two pairs of wings clearly. Some even took off their goggles and couldn't help but want to get closer.

The wings were bright pink, like a Van Gogh painting, with an infinitely rotating spiral pattern. The more you looked at it, the more you felt like you were about to sink in...

Lin Jia then shouted at the top of her voice: "Stop staring!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Three gunshots were fired in succession, but what was hit was not the giant butterfly, but a ball of "ash". Its warning scream sounded again on the left, and its mouthparts opened like a chainsaw in a horror movie.

The entomologist woke up and took a deep breath: "Giant mimicry is so deceptive. We can't let it have the strength to support the mimicry shape!"

Then we can only deliver firepower like crazy.

Several people from the Special Operations Office all drew their guns and fired. Lin Jia also pointed a sonic generator at the other side and launched an ultrasonic attack.

Under this attack, live ammunition soon hit it, and the scream changed to another form.

"It's calling for its companions. There's more than one of them here! Get out first!"

Returning along the same route as originally planned, the others struggled to climb up under the cover of Lin Jia's sonic attack.

Ling Jiangyue's physical strength was not good. Halfway through the climb, he felt his lungs were on fire and he was almost being dragged along by Lin Zheng.

In the end, he didn't think it was troublesome, so he simply hung himself on the person and climbed up forcefully by pulling on the vines hanging down from the entrance of the cave.

"pay close attention!"

"Where should I catch him?" she asked in a panic.

"Whatever you want, help watch the situation behind."

"Okay." She wrapped her hands around his neck and was carried on his chest like a backpack.

This posture was really not good, but Lin Zheng didn't say anything. Ling Jiangyue also showed a serious expression of "special handling in critical moments", clinging on Lin Zheng's shoulder and watching the battle situation at the entrance of the cave.

She even overcame her fear of looking directly at the thing and reminded the people behind her with a trembling voice: "Lin Jia! Get down!"

"Get down too!"

The giant butterfly was about to fly out. When Lin Zheng heard her cry, he used the vines to take the last step. He protected her head with the hand holding the gun, rushed out, and fell to the ground.

Ling Jiangyue was buried firmly on the ground. At that moment, she remembered the experience of being thrown into the salt water pool. With a crash, the only voice in her world that guided her - bang bang bang, it was Lin Zheng heartbeat.

However, the memory flashback was very short. The person holding her down immediately stood up and asked calmly: "Are you okay?"

She shook her head, took off her respirator, and breathed in the fresh air outside the cave.

The sound of flapping wings faded away, and no more creatures came out of the cave entrance. They guarded the cave entrance with guns for a few minutes, and gradually relaxed their tense hearts.

Xu Jiayan asked in a serious tone: "Where are the two people guarding outside?"
