Chapter 178: Sneaking Underground

"That's good, Kiana, you can move around the town freely from now on."

"However, I suggest that if possible, it would be better for us to investigate together. After all, there is strength in numbers, so we can also take care of each other."

After explaining to the government troops who came to hunt Mei Yi and the others, Bai Mo turned to the three of them and continued.

"Okay, then let's go together."

After much deliberation, Yayi finally decided on Bai Mo's request.

Considering that there may be unknown dangers ahead, it would be good to have more people to take action. Looking at the attire of this group of mercenaries, they are obviously well prepared.

And the most important thing is that these mercenaries are all wearing protective clothing that can isolate Honkai energy. Although they are concealed, Mei Yi is still very keen to notice it.

It seems that this is not an ordinary mercenary team, and Miss March [-]th is not as ordinary as she said on the surface.

This can be seen from the leading man's attitude towards her, and she herself is not wearing protective clothing that can isolate Honkai energy.

Based on the above doubts, Mei Yi couldn't help but think about the origins of Bai Mo and the Raven Team, and she was always paying attention.

"Mei Yi, why are you dazed? Let's follow him quickly!"

Beside her, Kiana's shout brought Mei back to reality. When she looked forward, she realized that Bai Mo and the others were almost gone.

"Sorry, I was just thinking about something else."

Facing the eyes of Kiana and Bronya, Mei said slightly apologetically.

"It doesn't matter! Then let's follow!"

"Ah."

After that, the three of them jogged and quickly caught up with Bai Mo and others.

They said they were investigating the town together, but as they walked, Mei Yi unexpectedly discovered that she and Bai Mo and the others needed to investigate exactly the same place, which was underground in this town.

Sure enough, these mercenaries came to investigate with a purpose, and they were definitely not ordinary people.

Even Kiana noticed this, and Bronya took a deep look at the two of them.

"We've arrived. Let's all look around to see if any suspicious characters appear. We'll gather where we are in 10 minutes."

Looking at the door of the factory in front of him, Tie Xiong took out the key given by the mayor. After opening the door, they conducted a comprehensive inspection of the terrain as usual.

Bai Mo didn't say anything. After all, they were experts in this kind of thing.

The underground entrance to Croka Town is in a large drainage factory on the outskirts of the town. Although you can also enter it from the manhole cover, it is easy to lose your way if you do that, so you should start from the entrance, one by one. The investigation is better.

While the Raven Team was inspecting, Bronya was not idle either. She immediately summoned the Heavy Rabbit to scan the building.

And he said that human exploration is simply too weak!You still have to watch me reinstall Bunny.

But there is no need to worry about being exposed or not. After all, Bronya has long seen that there is something wrong with this group of people.

Sure enough, Team Raven was not surprised when they saw the sudden appearance of the heavily armored bunny. After all, they had seen a lot of this kind of thing, and they had dismantled a lot of anti-entropy Titans.

"What about Bronya, do you have any clues?"

"No unusual or suspicious characters were found. Bronya thinks it's okay to go underground."

"Okay! Then let's set off quickly!"

"Don't worry, Miss March [-]th's people haven't come back yet, let's wait for a while."

After asking Bronya, the three of them whispered to the side.

"I know everyone must have doubts in their hearts. Yes, we are indeed not ordinary mercenaries. As for our identities, I will tell you Meiyi after all this is over."

After hearing the conversation between the three of them, Bai Mo walked up and spoke softly.

After all, wouldn't it be better to leave a little suspense? Let them guess for now.

"Then I would like to ask, what are you here to investigate?"

In response, Mei Yi just nodded and asked curiously.

The rest, Bronya and Kiana also turned their heads to look this way.

"Well...the purpose."

Bai Mo pondered for a while, but soon she gave an answer with a smile.

"First, we are here to find a friend. As for the second...it is similar to your destiny, to find the truth behind the collapse here."

While Bai Mo was talking, the raven team who had finished investigating the nearby area just came back.

A group of six people stood at the underground entrance, waiting for Bai Mo's next instruction.

"Destiny, Miss March [-]th, you are indeed no ordinary person."

Chewing Bai Mo's words carefully, Mei Yi kept guessing Bai Mo's identity in her mind.

"Don't worry, I'm definitely not an anti-entropy person, and if you really want to talk about it, I still have something to do with your St. Freya Academy!"

Seeing the solemn expressions on the three people's faces, Bai Mo quickly laughed and said.

After all, isn't he considered a student of St. Freya? She is also a Valkyrie. Although she is a Valkyrie who has been judged dead, it doesn't matter.

"St. Freya? Could it be that on March [-]th, you were once a student of Saint Freya College?"

Hearing Bai Mo mention Saint Freya, Kiana on the side immediately asked aloud, and also decided in her heart to ask Himeko or Theresa after the mission was over.

"Hmph, Kiana is very smart~ She can even guess this. But I'm sorry I can't tell you what happens next. For now, we should focus on our respective tasks."

"After all, changes may happen later, so we'd better act as soon as possible."

Without giving everyone a chance to continue thinking, Bai Mo saw the opportunity and called Iron Bear to open the door to the underground.

There has been enough suspense. As for continuing, Bai Mo is still a little afraid of overturning.

So with Bai Mo's push, everyone was able to change their minds and enter the front door with a good attitude. As for what Bai Mo said, they would have a way to verify it sooner or later.

After entering the gate, first of all, a faint stench hit your nostrils. Although there was no disgusting excrement in the dark and damp underground water, there were still some common rats, but there were not many of them.

Besides, everyone is not that pretentious, and it will be over with a little patience.

Underground waterways extend in all directions, and it is not enough for a few people to fumble around, so Bronya directly called out the reloaded rabbit and asked him to lead the way according to the concentration index of Honkai energy.

Chapter 179 "Tower"

At first, no one found anything suspicious along the way, but as they went deeper inside, they already noticed something was wrong.

Except for the increasingly dense Honkai energy, the entire underground passage in Croka Town seemed to have been deliberately transformed, with many traces of artificial excavation.

These traces would really not be visible unless professionals looked carefully, and no one would go to the sewers to look for clues. Besides, Bai Mo and the others had already walked outside the town.

The person hiding behind the scenes must have understood this and built the laboratory underground in the town.

Of course, all this is just speculation before it is confirmed, but Bai Mo believes that it is almost certain.

The team continued to move forward in an orderly manner. About ten minutes had passed when someone suddenly shouted softly.

"Come and look over here, there's a gate here!"

It turned out that a member of the Raven Team discovered a hidden door, and he hurriedly called everyone over.

"door!"

Listening to the news from the front, Mei Yi was a little overjoyed. After all, this was a big clue. What was behind the door?Could it be a secret testing base? !

On the way here, Bai Moyou, Yayi and others mentioned the information given by the mayor, so everyone was very excited after learning the news.

"Can it be opened?"

The speaker was Bai Mo, and she was also very curious about the appearance of this door.

However, after considering that there would be nothing valuable inside this door, Bai Mo gave up this idea.

Who would put important information in a place like this? It seems like it's just a utility room at best?

"No, this lift door must be more than one meter thick at least, and the surrounding area has been welded shut. Judging from our current equipment, it is not enough to open it."

After roughly measuring the door's hardness, Tie Xiong shook his head.

"What? I thought I could finally show off my skills."

Seeing this, Kiana, who was eager to try, had to silently put down the baseball bat in her hand.

Only a black line was left for everyone, and the door-breaking operation ended like this.

But then again, do you members of the Kaslana family carry this ancestral baseball bat with you wherever you go?

If so, it would really be a must-have travel tool for killing people, setting fire to homes, and robbing homes. It can also be used to fight Honkaiju.

Hmm... I don't know if this kind of thing can be mass-produced. If it can... Bai Mo remembers that Kevin still has a handful.

Ahem, let's get back to the topic. Since this door can't be opened, let's continue searching. There is always a path, and Bai Mo firmly believes that his idea is right.

"It doesn't matter. Although we can't open this door, the appearance of this door confirms that our investigation direction is correct."

"Look further down, I believe there are bigger secrets waiting for us there."

Attracting everyone's attention from the door, Bai Mo stood up and pretended to be excited.

Yes, the direction of the investigation is definitely correct, and what Bai Mo said is what everyone is thinking.

There is still a lot of time in the evening. If you continue to follow this line, everyone believes that you will get a satisfactory answer.

After all, starting from this door, they had already come into contact with the tip of the iceberg of the enemy's experimental base.

"Well, let's move on. Everyone, please pay more attention to your surroundings. If you find anything, you must notify us in time."

Glancing at Kiana and Bronya on the side, Mei quickly stood up and followed the team in front with the two of them.

..................... On the other side, 1000 meters underground on the outskirts of the small town of Kroka.

In a bright artificial passage, there are more than 100 experimenters wearing white chemical protective suits gathered here. They all frowned and looked serious, as if they were making some mental preparations.

At the same time, there are dozens of armed personnel with live ammunition around it to guard it.

They are not mice used for experiments. They are the staff of this organization called "Tower". The main content of their work is to study how the human body can reasonably absorb honkai energy so that it can evolve itself.

This goal sounds lofty, right? It is to contribute to mankind, right?

wrong!These are just their hypocritical masks. To achieve the goal, they will do whatever it takes, secretly use living people for human experiments, and deliberately cause small-scale collapse. These are all things they have done.

It can be said that this so-called "tower" organization is the successor to the Tower of Babel of Destiny.

After several years of dormancy, they have grown stronger and gradually grown into an organization that has begun to take shape. Although they can only exist underground, this is the greatest satisfaction for them.

However, there is no airtight wall in the world. Because the "Tower" organization is eager to get the experimental results, they really made a bit of noise in Croka Town.

That's why Tianming was targeted, and that's why Kiana and the others came to Croka Town to investigate.

Of course, the "Tower" organization also heard about this matter, so they accelerated the process of their experiments, hoping to get what they wanted before destiny came.

Because after several years of experiments, they have selected the most suitable body for injection of Honkai energy.

If this step is successful, then they will open the door to a new world and evolve, instead of turning into monsters that lose their minds after being injected with Honkai energy.

"呲呲呲..."

As a harsh sound sounded, white mist for disinfection suddenly filled the entire passage, followed by disinfectant sprayed from overhead.

After going through a series of complex disinfection procedures, the experimenters wearing white chemical protective suits were uniformly brought to a door.

Then, a leader in the team who looked like a cadre stood up and spoke.

"I believe everyone knows the precautions for the experiment. After entering, don't say unnecessary words, don't do useless things, and just do your job with peace of mind."

"Of course, if you want to become those monsters, please do it yourself."

Without the slightest emotion, after speaking, the cadre opened the front door with the ID card in his hand.

As the door was opened, a burst of bright light hit him. When he opened his eyes again, what he saw was a tall black tower towering above the sky.
