194: Underground culverts, scary creatures!

Seeing this, Old Mo and Wave Breaker immediately went up to greet him.

“How is it? What’s the situation inside? Hurry and tell us!” Old Mo asked anxiously.

The mercenary, wearing a protective suit and gas mask, quickly replied, “Boss, there’s no one inside. It’s very safe!”

‘Huh?’

No one inside, very safe?

But… didn’t Ji Xiong and Wang Jianbai just say that the Villa had been occupied by those Fusang people?

What exactly is going on?

“Let’s go, let’s go in and see!” Old Mo didn’t say another word and strode directly into the Villa. Wave Breaker also quickly followed behind him.

As soon as they entered the Villa, a pungent, sulfur-like smell assailed them… something on the ground seemed to be rotting, constantly bubbling.

The mercenaries, clad in protective suits and gas masks, had already secured the high ground of the entire Villa.

“Reporting, Boss, inside and out have been checked. Even the basement, nothing was found, not a single person! Those Fusang people, we don’t know where they went.”

Just then, a mercenary ran out of the Villa and said to Old Mo.

Old Mo frowned, then looked back at Wave Breaker and asked, “What do you think?”

Wave Breaker stroked his chin, then suddenly looked up sharply at the Villa in front of him, widening his eyes as he asked the mercenary, “Did you find the tunnel that the Chairman and his men dug?”

The mercenary shook his head and said, “No…”

“This is bad…”

“They wouldn’t have chased the Chairman and his men through the tunnel, would they?!”

Wave Breaker suddenly said.

The moment he said this, Old Mo’s expression suddenly darkened. He then quickly strode into the Villa, leading his mercenaries to the basement… Soon, they found the entrance to the basement in a hidden corner!

Opening the entrance, a rush of damp air immediately assailed them!

Looking down… the sound of rushing water constantly echoed.

That was the underground culvert!

Wang Jianbai and Ji Xiong should have left through here!!

But the underground culvert should still be some distance from the tunnel entrance; below them was still damp soil.

“Let’s go, let’s go down and see,” Old Mo said.

Then, he put on a protective suit and gas mask, preparing to be the first to go down.

Just then, Wave Breaker suddenly stopped him and said, “Brother Mo, let me go first. You guard outside. If Young Master Wang comes back, you need to tell him what happened here.”

Old Mo thought for a moment, then nodded: “Alright, then be careful!”

Wave Breaker nodded in agreement, then put on a protective suit and gas mask, and, with a dozen other mercenaries similarly dressed, tiptoed down.

Entering the tunnel, stepping on the damp soil, Wave Breaker clearly felt a chill rush over him!!

Eerie and terrifying, it sent shivers down his spine!

He felt goosebumps all over his body… They walked forward step by step, cautiously… Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened along the way. Soon, the ‘whooshing’ sound of water grew louder and louder. Through the flashlights on their assault rifles, they saw the underground culvert in the distance.

The water in the culvert was very wide, estimated to be about the size of a small river.

The water was quite turbulent; they would need to use a submersible to enter, otherwise, they would definitely be swept away.

While arranging for his men to go back and dismantle the submersible to bring it down, Wave Breaker took out his walkie-talkie and tuned it to the channel that could contact Wang Jianbai.

“Chairman, how are you doing now? Are you alright?” Wave Breaker asked somewhat nervously.

Wang Jianbai’s voice soon came through the walkie-talkie: “I’m fine. We’re preparing to come back now. Oh, has Mang Er returned yet?”

“Chairman, don’t come back yet. We suspect those Fusang people have also entered the underground culvert. They might be heading in your direction, so you must be careful!!” Wave Breaker quickly said.

“What did you say? They found the underground culvert?!” Wang Jianbai’s somewhat incredulous voice came from the walkie-talkie.

Wave Breaker was about to say something.

Suddenly, a ‘crackle, crackle’ of static came from the walkie-talkie.

“What’s going on?!”

Wave Breaker frowned, then slapped the walkie-talkie twice, thinking there was something wrong with it.

“Chairman, can you hear me?!”

“Chairman!”

“…”

Wave Breaker kept shouting, trying to re-establish contact with Wang Jianbai.

But just then.

“What is that? Brother Lang, look!”

“Oh no, there’s something under the water!!”

“It looks like a snake!”

The mercenaries beside him seemed to have discovered something, and all their gazes were fixed on the underground culvert not far ahead!

In the water, something seemed to be swimming rapidly!!

Wave Breaker quickly looked over… Ripples spread across the water, as if something was rapidly approaching them.

A sense of danger immediately surged into Wave Breaker’s heart, and then he immediately gave the order to his mercenaries to evacuate.

However, in the very next second.

‘Splash!’

With a violent splash, a giant pincer, emitting an eerie glow, suddenly broke out of the water!

Immediately after, this giant pincer actually swung directly towards everyone!

Its sharp edges were like sawteeth; with just one swing, it directly cut several mercenaries, wearing protective suits and gas masks, in half at the waist!

In an instant, organs and other things spilled all over the ground!

Screams of agony were incessant, even the ‘whooshing’ sound of the flowing water in the underground culvert could not drown out the screams.

“Retreat!!”

Wave Breaker roared, then directly fired at the giant pincer.

Immediately after, he led all the remaining people, turned and ran wildly, without stopping at all!!

Along the way, mercenaries were constantly being impaled through the chest by things resembling massive crab legs, then dragged back.

At this sight, Wave Breaker trembled all over, cold sweat pouring down him!!

He subconsciously looked back… and then… a scene that filled him with extreme terror unfolded before his eyes!!

He saw that on the edge of the underground culvert, an incredibly terrifying giant crab had crawled out!!

Its body was like a moving black fortress, its hard shell covered with mottled traces of weathering and deep-sea erosion. Its eight slender yet thick and sharp crab legs were relentlessly harvesting the lives of Wave Breaker’s mercenaries!!

After crawling out of the underground culvert, its eight steel-like crab legs stretched out with astonishing span, then it charged towards Wave Breaker and his men!!
