Apocalypse: I pick up trash in a survival game

Chapter 425 Red ray, starting from underground!
Suning stared at the abyss-like factory in the night. The red light shining through the cracks in the factory was like some kind of ominous omen, which made people shudder.

The red light was not the warm light of a fire, but it carried a strange chill, as if it could penetrate the skin and strike the soul.

"When I passed by from a distance before, I felt that the red light of this factory was a bit uncomfortable, and it was even more creepy when I got closer." Zhang Li said in a low voice with a slight tremor in her voice.

She subconsciously touched her arm, as if the red light had left some invisible mark on her skin.

The skin felt slightly cold where her fingers touched, as if it was being eroded by something invisible.

Pei Xuan'an stood aside with a frown on his face.

He closed his eyes and began to mobilize his precognitive gift.

After a moment, his expression became even uglier, and even a few drops of cold sweat seeped out of his forehead.

He slowly opened his eyes and said in a heavy tone, "You really have to be careful with this red light."

"What's wrong? Is this red light dangerous?" Ji Fengyan immediately became alert and looked at Pei Xuan'an with sharp eyes. The gravity control ability in his hands had quietly condensed, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

Pei Xuanan nodded, his voice low and serious: "I just predicted that if we enter the range of the red light, our bodies will be corroded after being exposed to this red light! Moreover, the nightmare seeds in the factory will immediately detect our presence."

When Concubine Mu Yun heard Pei Xuan'an's words, her face changed and she quickly synchronized the information in the team communication channel.

Her fingers slid quickly across the virtual screen, and she spoke of the dangers of entering the factory: "Everyone, please be careful. The red light in the factory is corrosive and will expose our position. Be sure to avoid the red light area and proceed with caution."

Other players in the communication channel all thanked Mu Yunfei for her reminder, which helped them avoid danger.

Suning's eyes were still fixed on the factory, his brows furrowed.

She knew that this factory was no ordinary building, but a trap full of unknown dangers.

Suning whispered: "It is not an easy thing to enter the factory."

Ji Fengyan thought for a moment and came up with a bold idea: "How about I use gravity to control us, let us float up, and enter from the air? This may help us avoid the red light."

"No!" Pei Xuan'an interrupted his proposal almost immediately, with a hint of urgency and warning in his tone, "Starting from the air is simply seeking death! The red light above the factory is even denser, and there is no shelter in the air. Once we are discovered, we won't even have a chance to escape."

"Then what should we do?" Ji Fengyan frowned, obviously dissatisfied with the answer, but he also knew that Pei Xuan'an's predictive ability had never been wrong, so he could only suppress his anxiety and wait for other people's advice.

Zhang Li was silent for a moment, her eyes swept around the factory, and finally stopped at a shadowy area on the side of the factory.

The red light there was sparse, and it seemed to be a weak point that could be broken through. She whispered, "Perhaps we can go around from the side and avoid the direct exposure of the red light. Although the distance will be longer, at least it will reduce the probability of being discovered."

As soon as Zhang Li's proposal came out, Pei Xuan'an shook his head and said, "No, no matter which direction you go around, you will be illuminated by the red light. The red light of the factory covers a very wide area, with almost no blind spots."

Ji Fengyan frowned, with a hint of anxiety in his tone: "Do we have to enter the factory openly? Isn't that just walking into a trap?"

Everyone fell into a brief silence, and an oppressive tension filled the air.

Everyone was thinking of countermeasures quickly in their minds, but it seemed that they could not avoid the strange red light no matter what.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Suning said, "There is another way to get into the factory."

"What method?" Zhang Li asked immediately.

"Enter from underground." Su Ning's voice was calm and decisive. Her words startled everyone, and then they all showed surprised expressions.

Ji Fengyan raised his eyebrows, with a hint of doubt in his tone: "From underground? We don't have the tools to dig, let alone dig a passage in such a short time."

Suning didn't say much, but just raised his hand and whispered something.

The next moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside her—it was zombie number three that she had put into her scavenger backpack in advance.

Ever since he knew that Nightmare Town could only use talents, Suning had made full preparations.

In order to prevent the identities of zombie No. 3 and others from being exposed, she also deliberately disguised it to make it look more like an ordinary puppet.

The appearance of No. 3 startled everyone, especially Zhang Li. She subconsciously took a step back and asked vigilantly: "What... is this?"

Suning didn't explain much, but simply said: "This is a puppet I made with my talent. It can dig holes for us. We can enter the factory from underground and avoid the red light."

Pei Xuan'an's gaze lingered on No. 3 for a moment, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

He could feel an indescribable weirdness about this "puppet", but the situation was urgent, so he did not delve into it.

He nodded. "Since there is a way, let's act quickly. Time is running out."

Although Ji Fengyan had some doubts about the identity of No. 3, he didn't say much.

He looked at Suning, then at No. 3, and finally nodded: "Okay, let's give it a try. However, we have to hurry, the nightmare seeds in the factory may detect our presence at any time."

Suning didn't say anything else and directly ordered No. 3 to take action.

Number Three squatted slightly, put his hands on the ground, and began to dig at an astonishing speed.

Its movements were swift and powerful, and the soil and rocks were easily dug up by it like tofu.

Soon, a hole large enough for one person to pass through appeared in front of everyone.

Zhang Li looked at No. 3's actions and still felt a little uneasy, but she knew that now was not the time to hesitate.

She took a deep breath and whispered, "Let's go. I hope it goes well this time."

Everyone entered the underground passage one by one, with No. 3 leading the way and Suning following closely behind.

The light in the passage was dim, and the air was filled with a damp, earthy smell.

Everyone walked very lightly, for fear of disturbing the seeds of nightmare in the factory.

Pei Xuan'an walked in the middle of the team, his brows still furrowed.

His precognitive ability made him extremely sensitive to unknown dangers, and at this moment, he had a vague feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

He whispered to Suning, "After entering the factory, we must find the factory's energy source as soon as possible and destroy it as quickly as possible!"

"understand!"
