Chapter 395: Mysterious figure

Not only was the original Mountain Cave dug open, but they also dug connecting Mountain Caves from another location.

After several attempts, more and more Mountain Caves appeared, and he gave up.

There was only one thing he hadn’t expected: the sheer number of these cannon fodder opponents, who actually held out for so long.

However, as soon as he saw the Zerg King that had entered the Mountain Cave being expelled, the number of Zerg began to decrease.

This detail made him realize something: the Mother Zerg or Zerg controlling the Zerg were observing nearby.

He immediately activated eight Satellites to meticulously search this surrounding area.

Soon, as the Satellites swept towards the opposite mountain range, they captured a flickering Humanoid Bug halfway up that mountain.

That figure stood there, and when the Satellites captured him, he seemed to notice.

Before the image could be locked, the person suddenly disappeared.

The images returned by the Satellites could only vaguely make out a Humanoid Bug, but could not distinguish the face or detailed body shape.

Who was this person?

Why would he appear halfway up the mountain at such a time?

What was his relationship with the Zerg?

Countless questions flooded his mind.

The remaining Zerg Kings seemed to have been abandoned; without the Zerg’s cover, they were quickly slaughtered under the Sixteenth Type’s bombardment.

From Qu Baoguo’s perspective, it was over; they had achieved a great victory, a complete triumph!

However, Liang Yu did not think so; in his view, eliminating the opponent was inevitable, and there would be no accidents whatsoever.

And it was true; whether it was the Zerg or the Underground Monster present, he had cleared them all out.

The only regret was that there had been no progress on the Zerg side; if he could have wiped them out in one fell swoop, there wouldn’t be so many problems.

In his opinion, the only unexpected event today was the mysterious person on the mountainside.

After discovering the opponent, Liang Yu moved all the Satellites into that mountain, but he did not find the opponent’s figure again.

The entire person seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Initially, Liang Yu thought he had found someone of his kind, which made him excited yet a little uneasy, until the Sixteenth Type arrived at the mountainside.

In a hidden spot inside, a newly dug Mountain Cave with a diameter of one meter was discovered, and only then did Liang Yu understand the identity of that mysterious figure.

Connecting all the clues, Liang Yu realized that the opponent was very likely a high-level Humanoid Bug from the Zerg side.

This battle might have been commanded by him.

After all, everything was too coincidental, especially since the Zerg Kings were directly abandoned as pawns not long after he left.

Liang Yu felt a bit disheartened at this moment; he shouldn’t have hesitated then; he had let a big fish get away.

On the mountainside, several Sixteenth Types were neatly arranged, their metallic bodies shimmering with a unique cold light.

The moment the system issued the command, they started up like well-trained soldiers, emitting a low hum.

They slowly approached the Mountain Cave, which was vaguely visible, obscured by dense vegetation.

The Sixteenth Type cautiously descended, entering this mysterious place.

Although the Mountain Cave’s depth was limited, its internal structure was unexpectedly winding and complex.

Irregular rocks protruded from the Mountain Cave walls, casting strange shadows under the Sixteenth Type’s lights.

They moved slowly, flexibly avoiding obstacles.

The narrow passages sometimes barely allowed a single Sixteenth Type to pass, the machines lightly scraping against the Mountain Cave walls, emitting a harsh sound.

As they delved deeper, the air in the Mountain Cave became increasingly humid, filled with a stale, decaying smell. The Sixteenth Type’s sensors continuously flickered, collecting various data.

A fork appeared ahead, and the Sixteenth Type split into two paths according to the preset program. One continued straight, and the other turned into a slightly narrower passage.

The passage was sometimes wide, sometimes narrow.

At a turn, a Sixteenth Type suddenly stopped; its sonar system feedback indicated a living creature ahead.

This immediately invigorated Liang Yu; perhaps the creature ahead was the big fish he had lost!

He transferred control of this Sixteenth Type from the system to himself; he wanted to personally confront this big fish.

Liang Yu controlled the Sixteenth Type, moving slowly forward, every step taken with extreme caution.

Soon, the Sixteenth Type arrived near where the creature was detected; just one more turn and he would see it.

At this moment, he felt a little nervous for some reason, and quickly controlled the Sixteenth Type to turn.

However, just as the Sixteenth Type completed its turn, a huge black shadow attacked like a ghost.

Before Liang Yu could even see what it was, the Sixteenth Type was swallowed whole.

The monster’s mouth gaped wide, like a dark abyss, its sharp teeth glinting with a cold light, instantly swallowing the entire Sixteenth Type.

After a while, the image transmitted by the Sixteenth Type on the virtual screen distorted for a moment before finally stabilizing.

He leaned closer to the screen, looking at that dark, damp, and eerily scented space, his heart sinking — the Sixteenth Type was now in the opponent’s stomach.

Through the blurry image, he could still see the constantly wriggling folds on the stomach wall, emitting a nauseating odor; even through the screen, he seemed to be able to smell that pungent, fishy smell.

He knew that this time, the big fish was lost.

Originally, if he had found that big fish, he would have had a chance to find the Zerg’s lair, but the opponent just disappeared right under his nose.

Since it was already like this, Liang Yu felt there was no need to continue the investigation, so he directly ordered the Sixteenth Type to teach the opponent a lesson.

To remember that not everything can be eaten, especially some things that are very dangerous after being eaten, like a Sixteenth Type that can self-destruct.

“Sixteenth Type, self-destruct.”

Soon, as Liang Yu issued the self-destruct command, a blinding flash of white light appeared on the screen, followed by violent shaking, and the Sixteenth Type completed its final mission.

If this thing could miraculously survive, Liang Yu guessed it would probably have psychological trauma whenever it saw a Sixteenth Type in the future, after all, food turned into explosives, maybe next time it sees a Sixteenth Type, it won’t even open its mouth.

As the image disappeared, Liang Yu leaned back in his chair, gazing into the distance, deep in thought.

At the same time, he asked the system to try to process the picture of the mysterious figure, to see if it could be improved enough to clearly see the opponent’s face.

As for that mountain, Liang Yu had no intention of leaving it.

Regardless of whether that mysterious person was still alive, Liang Yu was going to level this mountain today.

Under Liang Yu’s command, the previously tranquil sky was filled with dense Sixteenth Types, their lights intertwining and flashing, as if a doomsday feast was about to begin.

With a single command, all Sixteenth Types simultaneously unleashed terrifying energy impacts.

The immense energy, like a surging tsunami, swept down towards the mountain.

The mountain appeared so small and fragile in the face of this unparalleled power.
