Chapter 702 Deep in the Laboratory

At this moment, the insignificant metal shell of the lighter seemed to contain the chaotic power of the universe at the beginning, and suddenly burst out with an unprecedented powerful flame. This light was not warm and soft, but cold and piercing, with a sharpness that could tear through space, instantly covering everything around in a dazzling incandescence. The air in the laboratory seemed to be instantly emptied by this force, and then an invisible shock wave spread violently around with the lighter as the center, easily knocking away the soldiers who were about to explore in depth like fallen leaves.

The soldiers' bodies drew a series of chaotic arcs in the air, accompanied by screams of fear and the dull sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. They were thrown hard on the wall, the floor, and even the laboratory table by this sudden force, scattered all over the floor. Pain and astonishment intertwined on their faces, and after a brief loss of consciousness, they had a deep understanding of the fear of the unknown. The air was filled with the smell of burnt rubber, the bitterness of twisted metal, and an indescribable strange breath from the unknown world.

The lighter that caused all this seemed to have self-awareness. At the moment when the flame reached its peak, it broke free from all the constraints of physical laws, soared into the air, and rushed straight to the seemingly indestructible ceiling of the laboratory. Its speed was so fast that it exceeded the limit that the naked eye could capture, leaving only a thin, twisted tail of light, drawing a dazzling trajectory in the dim laboratory. Then, the light and the lighter, in the astonished eyes of everyone, penetrated the ceiling and disappeared into the endless darkness and unknown, as if they had never existed.

Bai Ye, the commander who was usually calm and resolute, couldn't help but show an incredible look at this moment. He quickly recovered from the shock, and his eyes were like torches, scanning the messy battlefield around him. The soldiers were sitting or lying, some covering their wounds, and some trying to struggle to stand up. There was a repressive and tense atmosphere in the air.

"Everyone, check the injuries immediately and confirm whether there are any casualties!" Bai Ye's voice was low and powerful, penetrating the chaos and fear, and bringing a trace of stability to the soldiers. Hearing this, the soldiers endured the pain and began to support each other and check each other's condition.

However, this sudden change did not make Bai Ye retreat at all. On the contrary, it further stimulated his determination to explore the unknown. He knew that the secrets hidden in this laboratory were far more complicated and dangerous than they had imagined before. But as a soldier and a commander with a mission, he could not and would not allow himself to retreat at this moment.

"Let's move on." Bai Ye's voice was firm and resolute. He stood up, looking through the chaotic scene and looking directly at the unknown darkness ahead. Although the soldiers were full of fear and uneasiness, seeing Bai Ye's resolute back, they seemed to be injected with an invisible force, and they stood up and followed closely.

Deep in the laboratory, the darkness spread silently like a huge net, swallowing all the light and hope. But Bai Ye and the soldiers were like a group of brave explorers, holding weak flashlights, stepping into this unknown area step by step. Every step was full of unknowns and dangers, but they did not retreat, because they knew that only by moving forward could they uncover the secrets hidden in the darkness and find their answers.

As they went deeper, the scene in the laboratory became more and more weird. The walls were covered with strange symbols and patterns, as if they were the remains of some ancient civilization; there was a strange energy fluctuation in the air, which made people feel cold; and those seemingly ordinary experimental equipment, at this moment, exuded an ominous light, as if they would burst out with more terrifying power at any time.

Bai Ye and the soldiers carefully shuttled between these weird things, their nerves were tense to the extreme, and any slight movement could put them into combat in an instant. But even so, they did not give up, because they knew that only by moving forward could they find the answer that could explain everything and change everything.

At this moment, a low and strange roar suddenly came from the deepest part of the laboratory, shaking the entire space. Bai Ye and the soldiers' faces instantly became solemn. They knew that the secret hidden in the darkness was finally going to reveal its true face...

The roar, like the roar of an ancient giant beast awakening, not only shook every corner of the laboratory, but also shook everyone's heart. As the sound gradually approached, an extremely suppressed sense of crisis pressed down like a substance, almost suffocating people. Bai Ye's eyes instantly became sharp. He quickly judged that this was definitely not a natural phenomenon that could be explained. It must be that some unknown creature hidden deep in the laboratory was accidentally awakened.

"Prepare for battle!" Bai Ye's voice was low and powerful. He quickly assigned tasks and commanded the soldiers to disperse their positions to deal with the upcoming unknown threats. Although the soldiers were nervous, they were well-trained and quickly adjusted their status, holding their weapons tightly, and ready for battle.

At this moment, a huge black shadow suddenly rushed out from the deepest shadow of the laboratory, accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and rushed directly into the area where everyone was. It was a giant beetle, more than five meters long, covered with a hard black shell, shining coldly in the sun. It has two huge compound eyes on its head, flashing with cunning and cruel light, and six sharp legs end with sharp hooks like knives, which can easily pierce steel. The most eye-catching thing is the pair of huge wings on its back. Although it is not fully unfolded at this moment, just a slight flap caused a violent fluctuation in the surrounding air.

The appearance of the giant beetle instantly broke the tranquility in the laboratory. It made bursts of piercing hisses, and the sound was full of desire for prey and defense of territory. Seeing this, the soldiers pulled the trigger one after another, and bullets rained down on the giant beast. However, these weapons that are invincible in modern warfare seem so powerless when facing this monster with a hard shell. The bullets hit the carapace, leaving only a string of sparks and slight reverberations, and could not penetrate its defense at all.

Seeing this, Bai Ye was secretly anxious. He knew that if the giant beetle could not be quickly dealt with, not only would the mission fail, but the lives of the soldiers would also be seriously threatened. So he quickly adjusted his strategy and ordered the soldiers to use the obstacles in the laboratory for cover while looking for the giant beetle's weaknesses.

The soldiers acted according to Bai Ye's instructions. They flexibly shuttled in the laboratory, using obstacles such as experimental tables and shelves as cover, and constantly attacked the giant beetle. Although these attacks still failed to cause substantial damage to it, they successfully attracted the attention of the behemoth and bought time for other soldiers to find weaknesses.

After a fierce battle, Bai Ye finally discovered a subtlety of the giant beetle-under its hard carapace, it seemed to hide a relatively soft abdomen. Although this abdomen was also covered with carapace, it was much weaker than other parts, and it kept rising and falling slightly with the breathing of the behemoth. Bai Ye was delighted and immediately realized that this might be the fatal weakness of the behemoth.

He quickly informed the soldiers of this discovery and formulated a new battle plan. The soldiers acted according to the plan. Some of them continued to attract the attention of the behemoth, while others quietly went around the back of the behemoth, preparing to launch a fatal blow to its abdomen.

With an order, the soldiers launched the attack at the same time. They used the special weapon in their hands - an electromagnetic pulse gun specially designed to penetrate hard materials, and aimed at the abdomen of the giant beetle for concentrated shooting. The electromagnetic pulse instantly penetrated the weak point of the shell and hit the internal organs of the behemoth. The behemoth screamed, its body trembled violently, and its wings flapped randomly, trying to get rid of the sudden pain.

However, it was too late. Under the continuous attack of the electromagnetic pulse, the vitality of the giant beetle quickly dissipated, and finally fell to the ground with a bang, and its huge body crushed everything around it. The laboratory returned to calm again, but the air was still filled with a strong smell of blood and death.

Bai Ye and the soldiers stood beside the corpse of the giant beast, panting and looking at each other. Although they successfully defeated this terrible monster, they did not feel any relief or joy in their hearts. Because they knew that this was just a small obstacle on their road to explore the unknown. There are more dangers and challenges waiting for them ahead, and their mission is to uncover the secrets hidden in the darkness, no matter how much it costs.

With the fall of the giant beetle, the tense atmosphere in the laboratory seemed to be relieved a little, but Bai Ye and the soldiers were still nervous. They knew that this sudden battle was just a prelude, and the real challenge was still to come. The giant beetle's hard iron shell became an unexpected gain in their eyes.

"Everyone be careful, let's take down this shell first, maybe it can come in handy." Bai Ye's voice rang in the quiet laboratory, his eyes were bright, and he quickly made the next plan. The soldiers nodded when they heard it, and they knew that in this dangerous environment, any resource could be a life-saving straw.

So, they approached the giant beetle's body carefully. The surface of the carapace was covered with fine lines, as if it was the most exquisite craft of nature, but in their eyes, it was just a tool for fighting. The soldiers took out the cutting tools they carried with them. These tools were specially designed to easily deal with various hard materials. They divided the work and cooperated. Some were responsible for fixing the huge body of the beetle, while others began to cut the tissues connecting the carapace and the flesh.

The cutting process was not easy. The beetle's carapace was extremely hard, and even sharp cutting tools could only advance slowly. Fine beads of sweat soon oozed out of the soldiers' foreheads, but they did not stop their actions because they knew that time was life. After a period of hard work, they finally succeeded in peeling pieces of carapace off the giant beast.

These carapaces were of different sizes and shapes, but each piece exuded a cold luster, revealing an indescribable indestructibility. Bai Ye carefully examined these carapaces and found that their thickness and hardness were far beyond ordinary metals, and they had good toughness and could withstand strong impact. An idea suddenly occurred to him, and he immediately thought of a brilliant use for it.

"Let's make shields out of these carapaces," Bai Ye ordered. Upon hearing this, the soldiers took action. They used the tools in their hands and the materials in the laboratory to start processing the carapaces into shields suitable for carrying and use. After some effort, pieces of carapace shields with regular shapes and smooth edges gradually took shape. These shields are not only light and strong, but can also effectively resist the attacks of bullets and fragments, providing valuable protection for the soldiers.

The soldiers held these newly made carapace shields with confidence. They knew that these shields were not only a defensive weapon, but also the source of their confidence in overcoming unknown challenges. Bai Ye looked at the soldiers' firm eyes, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that as long as they were united, nothing could stop them from moving forward.

A soldier came over and tapped the shield gently, making a crisp and long sound. This sound made him very satisfied, because it proved the strength and durability of the shield. He knew that in the next exploration, this shield would become his most reliable partner, protecting him from attacks and dangers from the unknown world.

"What an incredible masterpiece!" He couldn't help but whisper in admiration. His voice was full of awe and love for this carapace shield. In his opinion, this is not just a defensive weapon, it is more like a work of art and a symbol of faith. It represents the courage and wisdom, unity and persistence of mankind in the face of the unknown.

So, they set out on the journey of exploration again. This time, they held the carapace shield, their steps were more determined, and their eyes were sharper. They shuttled through the corridors of the laboratory, and every step was full of strength and determination. The darkness and unknown that once made them feel scared and uneasy seemed to become insignificant in front of them at this moment.

As they went deeper, the scene in the laboratory became more and more weird and dangerous. They encountered all kinds of strange creatures and traps, but with the protection of the carapace shield and the bravery and wisdom of the soldiers, they resolved the crisis one by one. Every battle made them more familiar with the performance and usage of these carapace shields, and made them more convinced that these shields were their important weapons to overcome all difficulties.

However, they also understood that these carapace shields were only temporary reliance. The real power comes from their inner belief and spirit of unity. Only when their hearts are full of desire for victory and the desire to explore the unknown, can they overcome all difficulties and uncover the secrets behind this laboratory.

In this laboratory full of dangers and unknowns, Bai Ye and the soldiers continue to move forward. Holding the carapace shield, they face unknown challenges and dangers, but their eyes are full of determination and fearlessness. Because they know that as long as they unite as one and move forward courageously, nothing can stop them from moving forward. And the carapace shield in their hands will also become an important witness to their victory over all difficulties.
