545: Chapter 424: The Grey Spider (Two in One) 545: Chapter 424: The Grey Spider (Two in One) “Alright, brothers, secure the supplies, we’re heading out!”

Chang Hai spoke, and everyone in the squad took on a solemn demeanor, prepared and ready to depart.

They knew that until now they had only been lingering on the outskirts of the Mist, and the journey ahead was going to become even more dangerous.

“We have twenty minutes to get there, striving to reach the final supply point.

That place will become our necessary stronghold for launching an assault on the Underground cave tomorrow, so this mission allows for nothing but success, failure is not an option!”

“Received!”

“Received!”

Except for Cheng Peng, who was busy counting, the others responded in low voices, quickening their pace, merely following behind the Boss as they moved forward.

About ten minutes into their march, their speed had clearly increased a lot compared to before, advancing roughly 1.5 kilometers inward.

It wasn’t that they were moving too slowly for the task at hand; each person was carrying a substantial amount of heavy supplies, and they were still within this enshrouding Mist, so maintaining this kind of speed was commendable.

However, this extent was still somewhat insufficient compared to their intended destination.

Fortunately for them, they hadn’t encountered any Alien Species so far, which could also be considered a stroke of luck.

“Wait up!”

Chang Hai, leading from the front, suddenly came to a halt and made a covert hand signal to those behind him.

The squad members instantly sought nearby cover and took refuge.

“What’s wrong, Boss?

Did you spot a monster?”

A team member inquired in a low voice.

Chang Hai nodded, “Fifty meters ahead, there’s something unusual; it looks like it might be an Alien Species we’ve never seen before.”

“A new monster?

Is it mentioned in the Alien Species Manual?”

Looking at its shape…

no.”

Chang Hai’s expression was grave; it seemed like their good fortune had just about run out.

In this Mist, what they feared most was precisely this kind of situation they were facing now.

New Alien Species meant unknown dangers.

Against these bizarrely powered monsters, they had absolutely no idea what kind of methods the adversaries might possess.

Sometimes, the unknown was far more terrifying than those foes whose strengths were already known.

At this moment, Chang Hai’s eyes shone with a silver-white light, and with the special perception bestowed by the Spirit Detection Technique, he could see the outline of the distant Alien Species clearly.

“This thing is up high, about four meters off the ground, looking like a spider, probably on a tree,” he whispered to his companion beside him, describing the scene he saw.

“That fellow’s size is about as big as an adult pig, and with the addition of six pairs of insect legs, it’s even bigger!

Predicting it has a carapace that could resist attacks, it won’t be easy to deal with, we might need to detour.”

The few beside him couldn’t see the thing in the Mist, but their line of sight remained firmly locked on the area ahead, not daring to relax in the slightest.

Upon hearing Chang Hai’s words, everyone’s faces turned grim.

They were already very pressed for time, and taking a detour could very well mean they wouldn’t have enough time to return.

The absence of the Ability to observe monsters in the Mist implied certain implications, going without saying.

But if they were to try and push directly through, that would be quite dangerous too, since they had no idea what Level the monster ahead might be.

Moreover, the most worrying point was that if they started shooting in this deadly silent Mist, it was bound to attract more monsters.

Should that happen, they might end up facing not just a simple spider but potentially far more dangerous entities, as there were precedents for such situations in the past.

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

After a short while, a deep yet resolute voice rang out.

“Damn it!

Let’s risk it!

Boss, let’s take the detour, we can’t just give up on the mission!

The brothers behind us are waiting for our good news!”

A well-built man gritted his teeth and said.

“Biaozi is right!

Boss, let’s not delay any longer, let’s move out!

If we have to, we’ll just take it slower on our way back,” another warrior, the youngest-looking of them, suggested.

The members of the squad all made the decision to continue with the mission, and even Cheng Peng, who had been silently keeping time, stopped counting, as it no longer had any meaning.

Seeing this, Chang Hai sighed deeply in his heart, only hoping that this mission of theirs could be completed smoothly.

As for how they would return, that was truly left to fate.

“We’ve just come from the restroom area, so our current location should be around here, approximately 2.5 kilometers straight distance from the target site outside Sheep Village,” he said.

“We’ll detour from the northwest direction later on; there’s a small river there, we’ll proceed from the north side of the river…”

Chang Hai took out a small map from his pocket, circling and pointing on it with his finger, marking out their route of advance.

However, right in the middle of his sentence, as if sensing something, he abruptly raised his head, his eyes darting towards the position of the monster ahead.

“Damn, it’s spotted us!”

Chang Hai exclaimed in alarm, his face a picture of horror, and instantly picked up the automatic rifle beside him, aiming at the shape that was quickly approaching them.

“Damn it!

It’s Thought Resonance!”

His complexion changed drastically, realizing that this might be the so-called Thought Resonance that Minister Hu had mentioned.
