Chapter 569: Deep Into the Darkness

Bai Ye kicked away the radioactive rat corpse beside his feet. With a dull sound, the disgusting thing rolled and slid into the dark corner.

He frowned, his heart full of uneasiness and disgust for this underground world. The soldiers followed closely behind him, their steps were firm and powerful, but in this dark bunker, they seemed extremely heavy.

At this time, there was a dark and deep corridor in front of them, like a giant beast that devoured all light, quietly lying in front of them. It seemed to have no end, only endless darkness and silence.

The walls of the corridor were mottled by the erosion of time, and every inch of stone bricks seemed to carry heavy history and secrets. When touched, the cold and rough texture came through the fingertips, making people imagine the countless pasts it had witnessed.

There was a damp and cold breath in the air, as if countless invisible hands were groping in the dark, trying to catch every intruder. Every breath was accompanied by a slight chill, which made people shiver.

The floor of the corridor is covered with thick dust, and every step will raise a cloud of fine dust. The dust flutters gently in the weak light, as if it is the only agility and life in the darkness.

The light here becomes extremely weak and precious, as if it is projected from another world through a narrow gap. It casts mottled shadows on the ground, outlining the outline of the corridor vaguely. In this weak light, everything seems so mysterious and weird.

The end of the corridor seems to be hidden in a thick darkness. What is there? Is it the entrance to another world, or an endless abyss? No one knows. Every time you get close, you will feel an inexplicable depression and fear, which makes people stop involuntarily.

Silence is the norm here, and only the occasional subtle sound will break this tranquility. It may be the sound of the wind blowing dust in the distance, or it may be the faint moaning from deep in the wall. These sounds echoed in the darkness, causing an inexplicable throbbing in people's hearts.

Time seems to have lost its meaning here, and every moment seems to be infinitely stretched. People here will unconsciously slow down their pace, or even hold their breath, for fear of breaking this tranquility and mystery.

The dark and deep corridor is a world full of unknown and fear. It makes people feel awe and curiosity. Here, every subtle feeling is magnified, and every moment seems to be frozen.

The end of the corridor seems out of reach, with only a dim light swaying in the distance, barely illuminating the way forward. Bai Ye's hand tightly grasped the rifle in his hand, and his knuckles turned white due to the force. He knew that this place was full of unknown dangers and every step needed to be extra careful.

"Everyone pay attention, stay alert." Bai Ye whispered, and the voice echoed in the empty corridor with a trembling tail tone.

The soldiers nodded tacitly, and their eyes flashed with a firm light. They knew that following Bai Ye was their mission and glory.

There was a suffocating sense of depression in the corridor, as if countless pairs of eyes were peeping at them in the dark. Bai Ye's footsteps echoed in the silence, and every step seemed extremely heavy. He was always ready to deal with possible dangers, and his heart was full of tension and anxiety.

Finally, they reached the end of the corridor, and a huge iron door appeared in front of them. There was a conspicuous "No. 1" mark on the door, which seemed to be some kind of identification or number. Bai Ye looked closer and found that the paint on the iron door had been mottled and peeled off, revealing the rusty metal surface.

"It seems we are here." Bai Ye took a deep breath and tried to calm the tension in his heart. He looked back at the soldiers, with a firm light in his eyes, "Prepare to open the door."

The soldiers acted quickly. Some of them took out tools to start prying the lock, while others were on guard around to prevent emergencies. Bai Ye stood aside, watching the surroundings vigilantly.

With a light "click", the lock was successfully pried open. The iron door slowly opened inward, and a cold breath came to his face. Bai Ye frowned and became more vigilant. He walked into the door first, and the soldiers followed closely.

The world behind the door was dark, as if it was a huge black hole, swallowing all the light. Bai Ye turned on the flashlight, and the weak light drew a thin beam of light in the darkness. They moved forward cautiously, fearing that they would alarm something in the darkness.

"Watch your feet, there may be a trap here." Bai Ye reminded in a low voice.

The soldiers nodded, and their steps became more careful. They groped along the wall, fearing that they would touch any mechanism.

Suddenly, a slight noise came, and Bai Ye immediately raised his rifle alertly.

In the depths of the dim bunker, a huge spider slowly crawled out of the darkness, and its figure gradually appeared in the weak light. This spider was different from any creature Bai Ye had seen before. It seemed to be the product of the combination of nature and some unknown force, full of weirdness and mystery.

The spider's body was so huge that it almost occupied the width of the entire corridor. Its shell was a deep black, as if it could absorb all the light around it, making it more difficult to detect in the dark. The shell was covered with fine lines, like a series of complex patterns, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

The spider's legs are slender and powerful, and each leg is covered with sharp barbs, which look extremely sharp. They tap lightly on the ground, making a dull sound, as if showing its strength and majesty to the creatures around it.

The most eye-catching thing is the spider's head. Its eyes show a faint blue light, like two shining gems, emitting a strange light in the dark. The light reveals a hint of cunning and cruelty, which makes people shudder. The spider's mouth is like a sharp pair of scissors, which can easily tear anything that blocks it.

The spider crawled slowly in the dark, its movements were elegant and calm, as if it was a king who controlled the darkness. Its tentacles swayed gently in the air, as if sensing everything around it. Every time it moved, it would leave a trail of sticky liquid on the ground. That was its venom, which was highly corrosive.

Bai Ye and the soldiers stood in the distance, quietly observing the spider. Their hearts were filled with fear and uneasiness, but at the same time they were attracted by the mystery and weirdness of the spider. They knew that this spider was no ordinary creature, and its appearance must indicate some unknown danger.

The spider slowly crawled towards Bai Ye and his team, and its blue eyes flashed strangely in the dark. Bai Ye held the rifle tightly in his hand. He knew that they had to be careful, otherwise they might pay a heavy price.

As the spider approached, the air seemed to be filled with a suffocating sense of oppression. Bai Ye could feel the powerful breath emanating from the spider, which was an ancient and mysterious power that made people feel palpitations.

The soldiers raised their weapons nervously, their fingers tightly on the trigger, ready to fire at any time. Bai Ye remained calm and vigilant, knowing that in this situation, any impulse could lead to irreversible consequences.

The spider finally stopped in front of them, and its blue eyes stared at them, as if provoking and demonstrating. Bai Ye could feel the cruelty and cunning in the spider's eyes, and he knew that this spider was not a good person.

Bai Ye took a deep breath and tried to calm the tension in his heart. He knew that they had to act as soon as possible, otherwise they might fall into a more dangerous situation.

He whispered to the soldiers: "Prepare to fire, but be careful of its venom."

The soldiers nodded, their eyes revealing determination and courage. They knew that no matter what danger they faced, they had to face it bravely.

Just as Bai Ye was about to order to fire, the spider suddenly let out a sharp hiss. Its voice echoed in the dark bunker, making people feel a palpitation.

Bai Ye and the soldiers immediately opened fire, and dense gunfire rang out in the darkness. However, the spider did not seem to be afraid of these attacks. It flexibly dodged bullets and launched a fierce attack on them at the same time.

Bai Ye and the soldiers were caught in a fierce battle. They kept firing, trying to defeat the spider. However, the speed and strength of the spider were beyond their imagination, and it was difficult for them to cause effective damage to it.

The battle lasted for a long time, and Bai Ye and the soldiers' physical strength was gradually exhausted. They knew that if they continued like this, they would most likely be defeated by the spider.

Just when they felt desperate, the spider suddenly let out a shrill hiss and fell to the ground. Bai Ye and the soldiers immediately went forward to check, and saw that the spider was covered with wounds, obviously it had been severely injured in the battle just now.

They breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the spider was finally defeated. They felt exhausted, but at the same time they were filled with the joy of victory.

Bai Ye looked at the spider lying on the ground, his heart full of doubts and uneasiness. He knew that the appearance of this spider was no accident, and it must have some connection with the secret of this underground laboratory. He decided to continue to explore in depth and uncover the truth of this underground world.

They continued to move forward and soon came to a huge basement. There were all kinds of strange equipment and instruments here, which looked old, but still exuded a weird atmosphere. Bai Ye carefully observed these equipment, trying to find some clues from them.

"Boss, look at this." The soldier's voice echoed in the silent bunker, with a hint of imperceptible excitement and tension. He pointed to the display screen on the console, and the screen flashed a faint and stable light, reflecting his focused and serious face.

Bai Ye turned his head when he heard the voice, and his eyes were immediately attracted by the content on the display screen. It was a combination of numbers and codes, neatly arranged on the screen, like a mysterious language waiting to be interpreted. He stepped closer, each step seemed steady and powerful, and the curiosity and doubt in his heart gradually heated up as the distance shortened.

He stood in front of the console, staring at the string of numbers and codes. Those characters jumped in front of his eyes, as if telling some secret. His brows were furrowed, and his mind was running fast, trying to parse the meaning of this information.

These numbers and codes did not seem to be arranged randomly, and there seemed to be some kind of pattern or logic hidden between them. Bai Ye began to analyze each character one by one, and various possibilities kept emerging in his mind, but each time he quickly denied it.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Bai Ye was still immersed in the process of parsing numbers and codes. His mood began to become a little anxious. He knew that they had limited time here and could not waste too much time on these seemingly meaningless characters.

However, just when he was about to give up, his eyes suddenly stopped at a specific location on the screen. There are a few characters there that seem different from the others, and the way they are arranged seems to imply some special meaning.

Bai Ye's heartbeat began to accelerate, and he felt as if he had touched the edge of some kind of truth. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his excitement, and then looked carefully at the characters again.

Finally, in an accidental flash of inspiration, Bai Ye found a breakthrough. He realized that those special characters were actually a password hint, and that the entire combination of numbers and codes was an encrypted message.

He quickly built a decryption model in his mind and began to try to decipher this message. Over time, he gradually deciphered part of it, and those seemingly meaningless characters began to reveal their true meanings.

Finally, after some hard work, Bai Ye successfully deciphered the entire message. He stood there, staring at the numbers and codes on the display screen, his heart filled with shock and excitement. "These codes... seem to be some kind of instructions." Bai Ye said to himself.

"Then what should we do?" the soldier asked.

Bai Ye was silent for a while, and then said: "Let's record it first, and then continue to search this basement to see if there are any other clues."

The soldier nodded and began recording the code on the screen. Bai Ye continued to search in the basement, his heart full of doubts and uneasiness. What secret is hidden here? Can they successfully find the answer?

Time passed by as they continued to explore the basement. Sometimes they encounter some dangerous creatures or traps, but they successfully overcome them with strong faith and courage. In this process, the tacit understanding and cooperation among the soldiers have also been further improved.

Finally, they reached the depths of the basement. There is a huge metal box here that looks extremely heavy. Bai Ye stepped forward and tried to open it.

"This box..." Bai Ye frowned, "it looks like a password is required to open it."

The soldiers gathered around, looking at the combination lock on the box with curiosity in their eyes.

"Let's try the code we just recorded." A soldier suggested.

Bai Ye nodded and entered the code into the combination lock. There was only a soft "click" sound, and the combination lock was unlocked. They carefully opened the box and saw a thick notebook and some strange devices inside.
