Chapter 652

Bai Ye led the soldiers, feeling uneasy but determined, and continued to explore the depths of the bunker. Their footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, and every breath was accompanied by tension and uneasiness in the air around them. The beam of the flashlight swayed in the dimness, trying to penetrate the unknown darkness, but it could only illuminate a short section of the road ahead.

As they went deeper, the surrounding scene became more and more bizarre. The walls were covered with strange fungi, emitting a faint blue light, which intertwined with the ultraviolet lights in the hands of the soldiers to form a bizarre picture. The air was filled with a disgusting stench, mixed with the pungent smell of radiation, which almost suffocated people.

"Bai Ye, are you sure we want to continue?" A soldier's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of fear of the unknown.

Bai Ye stopped and looked back at the soldiers, their faces were full of fatigue and uneasiness. But he knew that he could not retreat now. He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound firm and powerful: "We must find the nest of these bookworms, otherwise they will continue to multiply and eventually turn the entire bunker into their territory."

The soldiers heard this, although they were still afraid, but they also understood that Bai Ye's words made sense. They looked at each other, nodded, and continued to follow Bai Ye.

After walking for a while, they suddenly heard a series of subtle rustling sounds coming from the front. The sound was getting closer and clearer, as if countless tiny feet were moving quickly on the ground. The soldiers' nerves immediately tensed up. They held their weapons tightly and looked around vigilantly.

Just then, a faint beam of light shone through a hole in front, illuminating the edge of the hole. Bai Ye squinted his eyes and carefully observed the hole, with an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Everyone be careful, the nest of the radioactive bookworm may be there." Bai Ye whispered, while slowly approaching the hole. The soldiers followed closely, and everyone's heart was in their throat.

When they finally stood in front of the cave entrance, the scene in front of them made them gasp. The cave was densely crawling with radioactive bookworms, their bodies flashing strangely under the faint blue light, and their eyes were fixed on Bai Ye and the soldiers outside the cave entrance, as if they were going to devour them.

"Run!" Bai Ye shouted, turned around and ran back. Seeing this, the soldiers immediately followed Bai Ye and ran desperately. Their footsteps echoed in the bunker, intertwined with the rustling sound of the bookworms chasing behind them, forming a terrifying symphony.

However, what they didn't expect was that the radioactive bookworms did not continue to chase them. On the contrary, when they saw Bai Ye and the soldiers panicking and embarrassed, they stopped one after another. Their bodies began to tremble, and complex lights flashed in their eyes, as if they were touched by some emotions.

"What's going on?" A soldier stopped panting and looked back at the stopped bookworms, his face full of disbelief.

Bai Ye also stopped, and he looked at the bookworms in surprise. He had never seen such a strange scene. Those creatures that should have been extremely ferocious now seemed so docile and... sad?

"Maybe... they also have feelings?" Bai Ye murmured to himself. He remembered the previous battles with these bookworms, each time was so tragic and ruthless. But now it seems that these bookworms may also have their own world and rules.

At this moment, a larger radioactive bookworm slowly walked out of the swarm. Its body trembled slightly, as if trying to restrain something. Then, it suddenly made an amazing move-it stabbed its body with its forelimbs!

Blood instantly gushed out of its wound, staining the surrounding ground red. But its face showed a look of relief. Then, other radioactive bookworms followed suit, and they all ended their lives in their own way.

The soldiers stared at this scene in amazement. They couldn't understand the behavior of these bookworms. But Bai Ye seemed to see some deep meaning in it. He whispered, "Perhaps... they are expressing their apology and gratitude to us in their own way."

The soldiers fell silent after hearing this. They looked at the gradually falling bookworms, and a complex emotion surged in their hearts. These creatures that once frightened them now ended their lives in such a way, which made them feel shocked and sad.

"We... what should we do?" A soldier asked with a sob.

Bai Ye was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "We should respect their choice. Although these bookworms are ferocious, they also have their own emotions and dignity. Let's... let them rest in peace."

The soldiers nodded after hearing this. They stood silently in front of the cave entrance and paid their last respects to the radioactive bookworms that had passed away. Then, they turned and left, continuing their journey of exploration in the bunker. But this time, they had more awe and understanding of life in their hearts.

Just when everyone thought that everything was settled and was ready to readjust their mentality and move forward, the bunker suddenly fell into a strange silence. There was an ominous feeling hidden in the silence, as if the air was filled with an oppressive atmosphere. The soldiers' nerves were tense again, and they looked at each other with fear and confusion in their eyes.

"Baiye...those bookworms..." A soldier said in a trembling voice, pointing to the corpses of bookworms not far away that should have fallen to the ground. I saw that those bodies that were originally motionless stood up slowly and in an incredible way. Although their bodies were still in dilapidated condition, their twinkling eyes were extremely bright, revealing an unprecedented determination and madness.

"No! We've fallen into a trap!" Bai Ye suddenly came back to his senses and shouted loudly. He quickly pulled out the weapon in his hand, looked around vigilantly, and issued urgent orders to the soldiers, "Get ready to fight! These bookworms are not dead, they were just pretending to be dead!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers immediately dispersed according to the tacit understanding during training, each found a cover position, and prepared for the upcoming battle. Their faces no longer had the previous relaxation and exhaustion, but were replaced by a desire for survival and hatred of the enemy.

Those "resurrected" radiation bookworms did not attack immediately, but slowly approached in a strange formation. They seem to be waiting for some signal, or are preparing for a more violent attack. There was a suffocating tension in the air, as if time had frozen at this moment.

"Bai Ye, what should we do?" A soldier's voice was trembling. He held the weapon tightly, and his fingers turned slightly white from the exertion.

Bai Ye took a deep breath and tried to keep calm. He knew that in this situation, any panic could lead to the destruction of the entire army. He quickly analyzed the situation in front of him and looked for possible breakthroughs.

"We can't sit still and wait for death!" Bai Ye shouted, "We must take the initiative! Use our weapons and ultraviolet lights to fight against them!"

The soldiers heard this and nodded in agreement. They quickly adjusted their status and prepared for the upcoming battle. Bai Ye stood at the front of the team, inspiring every soldier with his firm eyes.

Following Bai Ye's order, the soldiers launched a fierce attack on the radiation bookworms. They use their weapons and ultraviolet lights to continuously attack the bookworms, trying to force them back into their nests or eliminate them completely. However, these bookworms seem to be more tenacious and cunning than they thought. They constantly dodge attacks from soldiers while looking for opportunities to fight back.

The battle was extremely fierce and brutal. The soldiers' physical strength was constantly being consumed, but they did not dare to slack off at all. They know that if they let down their guard, these bookworms may take the opportunity to counterattack. The bookworms, on the other hand, seem to have endless endurance and strength. They constantly attack the soldiers, trying to defeat them completely.

In this life-and-death battle, Bai Ye showed his extraordinary talents and courage as a leader. He constantly directed the soldiers to make tactical adjustments and look for the best offensive and defensive opportunities. At the same time, he also personally went into battle to fight against the bookworms and set an example for the soldiers with his superb martial arts and extraordinary courage.

However, as time went by, the soldiers' physical strength gradually declined. They began to feel tired and weak while the bookworms seemed to get stronger and stronger. Although their numbers are decreasing, the remaining bookworms are becoming more ferocious and crazy. They attacked the soldiers desperately as if to vent all their anger and hatred on them.

Just when the soldiers were about to fall into despair, Bai Ye suddenly thought of a bold plan. He quickly gathered the soldiers into a circle and concentrated the ultraviolet light in the center to form a powerful light curtain. Then he shouted loudly: "Everyone, pay attention! Concentrate all the ultraviolet light sources and emit them towards the center! We have to use strong light to drive away these bookworms!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers immediately acted according to Bai Ye's instructions. They aimed the ultraviolet lamps in their hands at the central light curtain to concentrate all the light and emit it. Suddenly, a strong ultraviolet beam shot out from the light curtain, illuminating the entire cave and illuminating those crazy bookworms.

Those bookworms screamed and howled under the strong ultraviolet radiation. Their bodies began to twist and deform as if being burned by flames. They desperately wanted to escape from this light curtain, but the light was too strong and they couldn't escape at all.

As the light curtain continued to expand and strengthen, those bookworms finally began to collapse and disintegrate. Their bodies gradually turned to ashes under the strong ultraviolet radiation and finally disappeared into the air. The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief knowing that they had successfully defeated these terrible bookworms.

However, although the battle was over, the soldiers' mood did not relax. They looked at the messy battlefield in front of them, filled with awe of life and worry for the future.

As the last radioactive bookworm disappeared under the ultraviolet light, the air in the bunker seemed to relax a little.

"What's that sound?" one soldier asked.

Bai Ye frowned, and he had no answer. But his intuition told him that this was definitely not a good sign. He made a quick decision: "Everyone, prepare to fight! We may have encountered a new threat!"

The soldiers immediately became nervous. They quickly entered a fighting state and observed their surroundings vigilantly. However, the roar did not stop, but became louder and closer.

Suddenly, one side of the wall of the bunker collapsed, and in the flying dust, a huge mechanical monster slowly appeared in front of everyone. The monster had a steel body, sharp claws, and a pair of flashing red eyes, as if it were a demon crawling out of hell.

"What the hell is this!" The soldiers exclaimed. They had never seen such a terrible creature.

Bai Ye also frowned, but he knew that now was not the time to be afraid. He took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Prepare for battle! No matter what it is, we must face it together!"

The soldiers cheered up after hearing this. They knew that they could only rely on each other's strength to fight this unknown threat. They quickly adjusted their tactics and used their weapons and ultraviolet lights to attack the mechanical monster.

However, this mechanical monster was obviously much stronger than the previous radiation bookworm. It easily dodged the soldiers' attacks, and at the same time used its sharp claws and powerful body to fight back against the soldiers. The soldiers fell one by one, and the bunker fell into chaos and despair again.

Bai Ye was extremely anxious when he saw this. He knew that if this continued, everyone would die here. He had to find the weakness of this mechanical monster to have a chance of survival.

He carefully observed every move of the mechanical monster, looking for possible flaws. Finally, he discovered a strange phenomenon: every time the mechanical monster attacked, a red gem on its chest would flash brighter. Bai Ye's mind moved, and he guessed that the gem might be the energy source or control center of the mechanical monster.

He immediately gave instructions to the soldiers: "Everyone pay attention! Concentrate fire on the red gem! That may be its weakness!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers adjusted their directions and aimed their weapons at the red gem on the chest of the mechanical monster. With a roar, countless bullets and energy beams shot at the gem. The mechanical monster roared and wailed, but it still resisted tenaciously.

However, at this moment, Bai Ye suddenly rushed out. He held a sharp dagger, used his agility to dodge the mechanical monster's attack, and quickly approached the red gem. At the moment when everyone held their breath and stared, he suddenly jumped up and inserted the dagger deeply into the gem.

"Crack!" A crisp sound came, and the red gem shattered instantly. The body of the mechanical monster trembled violently, and then let out a deafening wail. Its body began to twist and deform, and finally collapsed in the bunker, turning into a pile of scrap metal.
