“Captain, the workers have lost all contact,” the woman’s voice said.

“Gather information first. Hurry up!” The man’s voice replied.

On the huge screen, there was a man. Looking at his clothes, he was a combat member of the exploration team.

The two of them were in the underwater research institute.

They were in the target mission area of Su Chen and the others!

This man, according to the way the woman addressed him, should be the captain of the seventh exploration team.

Su Chen looked at the screen.

The recording was on the female explorer.. Only the woman’s voice could be heard on the screen, but her face could not be seen.

The two of them should be in a research room.

The lights in the research room were dim, but it proved that the infrastructure of the research institute was not damaged.

It could still operate with sufficient energy.

This was good news for the people who were about to carry out their mission.

“Yes!” The woman replied.

Then, she began to collect information about the research institute.

When the woman was collecting information, there was no sign of the man for the time being.

However, from the sound of footsteps coming from the screen, the man should be patrolling around the research institute at the moment.

Other than that, Su Chen also heard a familiar rustling sound!

“This… This is the sound of a petrified centipede?” Su Chen muttered.

However, he rejected his idea.

Su Chen had a deep impression of the sound produced when the petrified centipede moved.

The walls of this research institute were made of alloy, just like the spaceship wreckage.

However, the rustling sound was somewhat different from the petrified centipede at that time.

However, what was certain was that there were a large number of monsters similar to the petrified centipede entrenched in this research institute.

Su Chen was slightly embarrassed.

This research institute was underwater!

Once it was surrounded by a large number of monsters in the research institute, there was simply no way to escape!

However, the information collected by the woman on the screen was clearly brought back to The Lighthouse in the end.

Li Mo’s reply to everyone was very clear.

On this mission, the seventh team was completely annihilated and at this time, the only people left in the team were probably the captain and this female member.

As the sound from the screen grew louder and louder, the woman’s voice became louder and louder.

The woman kept turning her head to look behind her.

When she turned her head, Su Chen saw the cabin door behind her vibrating continuously!

There were a lot of monsters outside, and they were probably trying to rush into this place!

Even though they were now in a safe lighthouse, when they saw this video, they could not help but break out in cold sweat.

“Hurry up and leave…” Nono said softly.

She was already immersed in this video and completely forgot about the main character in the video. The ending was already destined!

Finally, about five minutes passed and as the movement from the cabin door behind the woman became more and more intense, she finally ended the work in her hands.

“Captain! The collection is complete!”

“You go first,” the man said in a deep voice.

Hearing her captain’s order, the woman did not hesitate at all.

She directly ran toward the cabin that her captain pointed out.

At the end of this scene, she saw the man’s figure grow taller, and his muscles bulged. Obviously, he had activated his superpower.

At this time, the vibrating cabin door was also broken open!

A dense swarm of insects swarmed in through the broken cabin door!

The image flashed across in a blur.

Su Chen tried his best to take a look. The monster’s body was covered with a thick carapace. It seemed to be…

“A giant isopod?” Su Chen muttered.

Li Mo was a little surprised when he heard Su Chen’s voice.

The conclusion of The Lighthouse’s research was the same as Su Chen’s. This monster with a terrifying appearance was very much a variant of the giant isopod!

Unfortunately, as the screen went dark, and no one saw the man fighting the bug horde.

Due to that, The Lighthouse did not know how the giant isopod attacked.

As the screen appeared again, it was still showing a woman’s view.

This time, it was in the escape pod of the research institute.

However, the escape pod was empty. From the environment of the pod, the vehicle that was parked there should have been a small submarine.

The reason she went here was to enter the sea through the escape tunnel.

The woman searched around the pod and finally found two fully-covered breathing masks.

However, she did not leave immediately.

Instead, she paced anxiously on the spot as if she was waiting for the arrival of the captain.

“Dong!”

A muffled sound was heard.

The woman looked toward the source of the sound and exclaimed, “Captain!”

The man in the video was covered in blood, as if he had been cut by a sharp blade!

The video ended here, and it was pitch black again.

Seeing this scene, Su Chen’s eyes turned cold.

These wounds were probably caused by the giant isopod.

As the color flashed on the screen, the image appeared again and this time, the two of them were in deep ocean water!

In the pitch-black ocean water, just looking at the screen made one feel an infinite sense of oppression!

It was as if it could stir up the deepest fear in one’s heart.

Other than the sound of the two of them moving the ocean water, the scene was extremely quiet.

Right at this moment, the sound of the ocean water being quickly broken came from below!

The man in the video had an extremely terrified expression on his face!

It was hard to believe that such an expression would appear on the face of an experienced explorer!

Then, the two figures seemed to be pulled by some huge force as they quickly sank into the depths of the sea.

Below them was endless darkness.

In the video, a huge tentacle with a diameter of nearly half a meter appeared at the end.

The video ended there.

“Hiss…”

As the video ended, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.

From the beginning to the end, there was no scene of a direct battle. However, this video gave people an oppressive feeling that they could not resist.

It was a terrifyingly suffocating feeling!

Li Mo’s voice broke the silence. “The monster that appeared last is still hovering around the research institute, and it will become the largest obstacle to our next mission.

“The preliminary research results of The Lighthouse’s Research Institute indicated that the other party is an octopus-shaped Origin Beast. After mutating, it probably has the ability to regenerate. We must be careful.”

Regeneration ability!

Su Chen caught this keyword!

He licked his dry lips. Once he could absorb this Origin Beast’s soul…

Su Chen was the first to dismiss this idea. As long as he could survive the next mission, it would be enough.

The video just now had already explained the dangers of the mission.

Gao Fei’s deep voice interrupted Su Chen’s thoughts.

“Take a day off tomorrow and make preparations. The morning after tomorrow, we will start the next mission!”

“Meeting adjourned!”
