Chapter 249 A Mission with a Narrow Escape
The No. 12 team's operations meeting room.

Everyone sat around the table, with Firefox standing in front of the projector, looking at the tasks displayed on it. Everyone's faces were extremely pale.

After a brief silence, everyone erupted in chatter.

"This...this is sending us to our deaths!"

"What kind of mission is that?"

"Shouldn't this kind of mission be carried out by the elite special operations team? Why is it us?"...

The mission requirements are: leave the territory of Paradise Island, infiltrate the Death Cave from the Sky Rift Canyon, conduct preliminary reconnaissance, record the terrain, and deploy the designated equipment three thousand meters underground.

For the team, this mission was tantamount to suicide.

A large part of the Marine Corps' combat power comes from the artillery support of Paradise Island. Once they leave this small island and lose the fire support, the Marine Corps' combat power is very weak, and they can only survive with their tails between their legs.

Leaving Paradise Island is dangerous enough, but the mission content is even more inhumane.

The Crypt of Death.

This is one of the three major mother nests of the Star Worm on Earth, located more than 500 kilometers underground south of Paradise Island. The Star Worm spent hundreds of years digging out an underground world thousands of meters underground.

The area was shrouded in a spore-laden haze, making it undetectable by any radar method.

Paradise Island sent an investigation team decades ago, but they quickly abandoned the mission. The underground environment is extremely complex, a huge underground labyrinth.

The mission description was filled with the two words 'suicide'.

Cat said with a long face, "Captain, did the higher-ups assign the wrong mission? How could a mission of this difficulty be assigned to us?"

Firefox stood up and left, saying, "I'm going to communicate with my superiors."

The group members discussed the task details.

Mo Yu remained silent.

He knew very well that the mission had not gone wrong; it was the final result of a power struggle among multiple parties.

Eva really thought highly of him, and directly stuffed him into the Starbug mother hive.

A moment later, Firefox returned.

She looked unwell and said in a hoarse voice, "The mission is correct. The higher-ups know this mission is difficult, so they have prepared special equipment for us. It's on its way and will be delivered soon."

The scene fell into deathly silence.

Everyone's face turned pale.

An hour later, the special equipment and the devices designated for deployment arrived. Several officers directed the robots to unload three large crates.

The device to be deployed is a black metal box, about the size of a regular household refrigerator, but lying flat.

Mo Yu was curious.

Manipulate the soul tentacles, pass through the box, and use the tactile feedback to see through it.

Inside the box lay a long-haired loli. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that this was an android, with intricate mechanical devices inside, some of which resembled weapons, making it look like some kind of combat robot.

An angel doll appears and explains the special equipment in the other two boxes to everyone.

The first metal box was opened.

It contained a pitch-black liquid.

As everyone wondered, the angel doll stretched out its slender finger and gently touched the black liquid, and a blue halo spread along the black liquid.

The liquid was instantly activated and began to wriggle, with regular cubic protrusions appearing on the surface, like assembled building blocks, constantly wriggling and forming very abstract yet regular shapes.

The angel's voice explained, "Nanomechanical clusters, one of Paradise Island's cutting-edge technologies, are being put into practical use for the first time. You can think of them as super tools."

"It can transform at will, becoming any object, or even disguised as a living being."

The black liquid flowed rapidly, emerged from the box, landed, and quickly transformed into a golden beetle, mimicking its appearance so perfectly that it was difficult to distinguish the real from the fake at a glance.

"It can be used as a temporary replacement for any recorded equipment damage, and can be used for repair and manufacturing once it is safe to do so."

"When the human body is injured, it can also penetrate deep into the body to temporarily fill the damaged area, mimicking the principle of organs to maintain life." Under the operation of the angel puppet, the function of the nanomachine group is demonstrated. Broken equipment, after being wrapped by it, will be quickly pieced back together, temporarily glued, and function normally.

Once it was safe, the nanomachines began precision welding to restore the broken equipment.

It has very powerful functions.

The team members were somewhat disappointed. Although the tool was powerful, they were venturing into a death trap and needed more powerful weapons or life-saving items. This multi-functional tool had very limited use.

Mo Yu's eyes lit up.

What a good thing!

With such advanced technology, why wasn't it sent to the space station? If the space station had this thing, he wouldn't have had to go through the trouble of manually repairing it himself.

Take it back.

This must be taken back.

The team members looked at the other box.

The angel doll opened it, revealing colorful potions inside.

"With Miss Alice's help, Paradise Island has just achieved a major breakthrough. These are the prepared star worm pheromones. You all should know what this means."

The group members exclaimed in surprise.

Star worms are completely controlled by pheromones and have very weak cognitive abilities; pheromones are their encrypted instructions.

Humans have long sought to decipher the pheromones of star worms.

If the code is successfully deciphered, it would undoubtedly give control of the enemy's headquarters, which would be of great significance.

The angel puppet said, "These two pieces of equipment can be used together to allow the nanomachines to carry pheromones, perfectly simulating star worms."

The group members became excited.

What seemed like a hopeless situation was given back to everyone by these two things.

Thanks to Firefox's request, everyone was given a day to prepare for their departure, familiarize themselves with the new equipment, prepare their wills, and make arrangements for their funerals.

After all, this mission was extremely dangerous, with a very low chance of survival.

Mo Yu returned to the apartment and hugged Alice, giving her a kiss.

With a hiding place, he can teleport between the two locations at any time. However, the space in the vehicle is small, so if he disappears, he won't be able to explain it to others. If he wants to come back, he will need to find an opportunity to go out and act alone.

Mo Yu kissed Alice's fair neck and whispered, "Darling, I'm going on a business trip soon. Can you bear with it for a bit? I'm thinking about that..."

These past few days, Alice has been putting on an act, either getting drunk or pretending to be asleep, never admitting anything directly.

This time, Mo Yu went straight for the ball.

Alice's face instantly turned bright red. After stammering for a moment, she pretended to be helpless and said, "Alright, alright, considering you're going on a long trip, I'll do as you say this time..."

If you can communicate normally, you can ask Alice questions at any time and force her to say some strange things.

Staying up all night tonight.

It was late at night, in the early hours of the morning.

In a dark room on Paradise Island, Iron Wolf placed the documents and an envelope on the table and pushed them into the darkness opposite.

The documents and envelopes slid and stopped at the boundary between light and darkness.

A hand reached out from the darkness and picked up the envelope and documents.

Iron Wolf said with a gloomy face, "This 100,000 is a deposit. We will pay the remaining 400,000 after we successfully withdraw."

The sound of documents being opened came from the darkness.

A moment later, a hoarse male voice rang out: "Deal, young master, now you can wait to take your beauty home."
