"Well, good job. We finally found something. Tell Zach to write down the location and come back. Nothing can stop me from enjoying a sumptuous meal. Also, inform the company about the location and the discovery."
Wade said. He wouldn't run away in a panic just because he found something. Anyway, the place can't run away. Let's have a good meal first. In addition, according to the procedure, they have to report the location to the company. If they lose contact later, the company will know where to find them. This is the most basic procedure in the army.
Wang Kai has seen some movies where the main characters or troops clearly found something unusual. First, they didn't report it. Second, they directly went to check it out. As a result, no one knew what happened. Wang Kai will never let his company do such a stupid thing. Therefore, the rapid response team has a complete set of procedures, including Wade's participation in the formulation.
After taking some photos and murals of the cave and sending them back to the headquarters, the search team enjoyed their food and took the time to prepare for the exploration of the cave. After all, this mission may be dangerous. If they rush in rashly, they are afraid that they will encounter danger.
After eating and digesting, the team members came to the cave that Zach found. After looking at it, Wade finally understood why they didn't find the cave before. There are a lot of trees at the entrance of the cave, blocking the space above the cave. This completely cut off the possibility of finding the cave from the air. In addition to the towering trees, there are a lot of shrubs near the cave, reducing the possibility of finding the cave from the ground to the lowest. Moreover, the cave is located in a low-lying area. If Zach didn't chase the rabbit, they probably wouldn't have found the cave.
When they arrived at the entrance of the cave, a team member immediately came over and opened a box. Inside the box was a ball-shaped drone. This is a drone developed using SHIELD's technology. However, this is the internal test version of Ambrera S.A., and there is no plan to sell it to the public.
After a team member started it, the drone flew into the cave. At the same time, the screen in the box showed the video taken by the drone.
The inside of the cave is very dim, but the drone is equipped with a strong light device, and it has a 360-degree light, illuminating the entire cave. Soon, the ancient murals appeared on the screen. The team member controlling the drone immediately transmitted the video back.
"Let the drone go deeper and see where this cave leads to."
Wade said. Through the drone, he could see that the cave was very deep. Even with a strong light, it could not illuminate the darkness ahead.
"Boss, there are some magnetic fields in this cave that interfere with the drone's signal. I'm afraid there won't be any signal beyond a hundred meters."
The team member operating the drone looked at the numbers on the screen and said to Wade.
"In other words, this cave is likely to be more than 100 meters wide?"
Wade asked. Caves were generally not deep. If it was a very deep cave, it meant that the cave would lead to other places.
"Yes, it's already 80 meters away, and the image is already showing interference."
The team member operating the drone pointed at the ripples that appeared on the screen. The ripples had already blurred the image, and the ripples continued to increase. If it weren't for the team member constantly adjusting the equipment to increase the visibility, the image on the screen would have been blurred.
"The few of you, put on the biochemical suits and prepare to go in with me. The rest of you, stay here and support us at any time and report to the company."
After seeing it, Wade understood that the drone could not continue to explore further. They had to rely on humans. He pointed at a few people and gave them the order.
After receiving the order, the team members selected by Wade took out the biochemical suits from their backpacks. They were white, full-body airtight suits that could isolate the outside world from viruses. They relied on a small oxygen tank that was not much bigger than a pulsating bottle to breathe. Don't underestimate this oxygen tank. It could provide an athlete with an hour's worth of breathing. If they did not do strenuous exercise, it would not be a problem for them to breathe for three or four hours.
After changing the suits, Wade took the lead and entered the cave. The other team members followed closely behind and entered the dark cave.
After entering, Wade saw more clearly that this cave should have been artificially excavated. There were traces of excavation on the cave walls, and the ground was relatively flat. This was not a natural cave, or it had been artificially excavated.
As they went deeper, Wade noticed that the cave was sloping downwards. If not for the interference of the magnetic field, Wade would definitely be able to tell from the positioning system that he was underground.
According to the intelligence, the Ndipaya Empire was once an underground kingdom. Therefore, this cave was very likely to be a passage leading to the ruins of the empire. Thinking of this, Wade became a little excited. According to the information provided by Professor Ashford, the reason the empire left the underground was due to the appearance of monsters. So, were there any more?
Wade immediately ordered a team member to report his findings and gather everyone here. Then, he led the rest of the team deeper into the cave. Everyone had loaded their guns and was ready to attack at any time.
After advancing for about a kilometre, Wade discovered a light ahead. He immediately signaled for the team members to slow down and start advancing in battle formation.
Finally, after exiting the long passageway, Wade discovered an enormous underground space. There was a crack at the ceiling, allowing sunlight to sprinkle in through the crack. Moreover, there were many plants in the cave that emitted fluorescent light. Through the fluorescent light, they could see many ruins and structures. At the center of the space, there was a prototype altar.
"Alert everyone. Inform the others to come in and check if there are any viruses. Set up a stronghold here."
Wade issued a series of orders. Wade could see that the ruins and structures were tangled and complex. With just a few people, it would be impossible for them to investigate everything. Moreover, they would be vulnerable to attacks. Therefore, they had to rely on modern technology.
While the team members were setting up, Wade himself entered the ruins. He abandoned his firearms and carried two alloy katanas as he walked through the ancient and crude buildings. The buildings here were truly ugly, but Wade did not let down his guard.
All of a sudden, a black shadow leapt out from a building. The shadow was the size of a house cat. It charged straight at Wade. Wade was already prepared. He twisted his body and slashed with his katana. The shadow was split into two and fell to the ground. Only then did Wade clearly see that it was a gigantic rat. However, from its sharp claws and protruding teeth, this rat was different from those rats that stole food and dug through garbage. This rat should be a carnivore.
