The "mascot" is squinting her eyes to see the dim light of dawn in the east. In the next few days, she may not be able to see such a scenery.
"Sister Maoyan, are you okay?" Jin Ying's voice came through the team channel.
Mao Yan gestured to her to "continue", and the simple gestures were displayed through the blood-stained exoskeleton armor, which gave her a colder flavor that she didn't have originally.
Maoyan still lacks consciousness about this.
She motioned for Jin Ying to spray more odor masking agent here, and then wrap it with optical camouflage film to make the preparatory work more thorough. After all, she was the first one to enter the underground maze, not someone else.
Jin Ying patiently continued to help. On the other side, Fries, the commander of this operation, also came over, knelt down on one knee, signaled Maoyan to lift her feet in turn, and sprayed fiercely at the metal structure under her feet to avoid leaking flaws.
"Suddenly I wish I had a ring in my hand." At times like this, Frith never kept his mouth shut. "You know, before you disappear into the darkness, you are literally glowing."
"Is this a curse?"
"No...when you enter the darkness, you take away all the light."
"So it's a curse for sure! I will remember the dream I gave you when I die."
Maoyan was completely indifferent to this incomprehensible talk. She did not continue and only used the team channel to correct the route with Fries again.
Fifteen minutes later, when the sunlight from the eastern sky spread over the water and mud, Maoyan made another "OK" gesture and followed the newly dug tunnel leading to the underground maze.
Slowly descending and quickly disappearing from other people's sight.
Jin Ying followed closely behind her, performing a personal protection mission.
As for the others, it depends on Frith's orders.
The latter stood with his hands on his hips for a few minutes. After receiving the "safe and passable" signal from the cat's eye, he signaled the members of the combat team to follow one after another.
Oh, and there are those big guys in the back.
Cat's Eye walks in the "underground labyrinth" built by the Crocodile Corps... to be precise, it's the edge zone.
Due to the differences in body size and movement patterns between crocodiles and humans, the mazes they build cannot take into account the height and width of "human + exoskeleton". Most of the real "underground mazes" are elusive.
There are only a few areas connected to caves and rivers, which can barely accommodate human traffic.
One can imagine what kind of "watching" this kind of extremely limited area will be under.
In fact, the area where the cat's eye slowly passes is also filled with a vague mist of miasma, as well as holes that did not exist when artificially dug. These are all traces of the recent existence of the aberration.
What Maoyan is doing now is by no means a "mascot" job, but extremely high-risk forward reconnaissance, the kind that could be trapped inside at any time.
This kind of work is necessary. The combat group she belongs to needs at least a place where they can form a formation, so that subsequent exploration can be possible.
Maoyan became more and more familiar with this kind of work.
After several years of field operations, Maoyan has been recognized by front-line military operators for her unique abilities, extraordinary courage and efficient cooperation.
Of course, it is only in recent months that she has tried more and more actively to reach such a dangerous level as today. This has also made her become the non-staff personnel that the military cooperates with most frequently in Xia City - two consecutive years.
Stay away from home for a month

, its popularity is even more than that of some B-level experts.
Excluding subtle psychological factors and discussing purely on the technical level, Maoyan does have extraordinary abilities that are extremely suitable for military squad operations.
According to Ronan, her spiritual sensing ability that is close to the material level is actually quite close to the ability and quality of the school of creation that Dean Wan has been advocating. They are both the perception and application of the seemingly general "physical nature".
It combines information factors from multiple material levels to make intuitive judgments.
This form is a bit like the physical side, and a bit like a psychic, somewhere in between, subtle and mysterious... Oh, this kind of mysterious description can only be used in the past to describe her still...
There is no talent that is fully developed.
Ronan has actually given Maoyan a clear direction:
It is to follow the example of Dean Wan, use the School of Creation’s systematic explanation of all things, reorganize and fine-tune one’s own innate sensing structure, use oneself as the fulcrum, expand and intervene outward, and complete deeper applications.
It's just that Maoyan is lazy and a little rebellious. The superficial reason given for her advice to Ronan is that she "doesn't want to exist like a humanoid bat." As for her true thoughts, there is no need to dig into it in such detail.
But the problem is that as a believer of Ronan, no matter how unwilling she is, she is in such an environment and is constantly being instilled with huge information energy. She must digest it... or at least resist it, right?
The constant pressure forced her to change, and the powerful restraining force made it difficult for her not to make progress.
Just like at this moment, her steps were slow, but the spiritual waves of mental induction had penetrated countless holes and smaller gaps in the soil, and even pushed forward layer by layer against the underground water flow.
Its coverage area is not particularly wide, but it can form subtle interference with the material level. It is like a turned-on radar, receiving the reflection bands of various material structures; it is also like a highly sensitive spider web that is erected to passively
The form captures subtle changes coming from all directions.
The difference between movement and stillness, the physical difference between everything, these details are right in front of you. Although she cannot grasp the deep legal principles in related fields like Ronan, she can still make decisions based on the corresponding intelligence.
A certain judgment.
Closer to home, she can assess the safety factor of the underground assembly area and determine that there are no highly dangerous aberrations lurking nearby.
Looking further, she was able to draw a relatively macro conclusion.
To put it simply: Huaicheng has really been indifferent to human affairs in recent years.
No wonder the Poison Swamp area has become a stubborn problem on the outskirts of their city. They are completely left to the Crocodile Corps to carry out underground fortification operations in the relevant areas.
Excluding the areas currently being worked on, in rivers, under tidal flats, and in the depths of spreading and connected strata, the complexity of underground fortifications has exceeded many people's imagination.
This is relatively static stuff.
At the dynamic level, as Professor Ding and other experts estimated, there was a large-scale commotion, which continued to act deep in the complex underground labyrinth, creating an oppressive force that the ferocious crocodiles of the Crocodile Corps were also afraid of.
As for the details of the commotion, this is the field of auxiliary computing. Corresponding plug-in hardware and algorithms are needed to assist in processing more complex information.
Well, it is the realm of movements and spiritual cores that Ronan mentioned.
But this kind of "movement" is different from the deep ones that are rapidly following up.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The ones of the Blue Walkers are not the same. It is not the internal movement that dominates the changes in the core structure of the form and spirit, but is really just an auxiliary one.
Naturally, the cat's eye is worn. This movement was made by Dean Wan. Due to the limitations of materials and computing chips, it is a bit large and needs to be mounted on the exoskeleton armor. Fortunately, it is not obvious when working in the field.
Already.
This set of external movement equipment has greatly improved Maoyan's information processing capabilities, allowing her to have more energy to adjust the focus and corresponding structure of mental induction.
Of course, there are many things that cannot be explained clearly about this kind of ability construction, and it may not be so vividly expressed externally.
Just do what a worker should do.
Maoyan understands this.
From the rear, Frith and other combat team members had followed up in time and naturally changed their formation to wrap Maoyan and Jin Ying in a relatively safe central area.
The most dangerous job was completed, and Jin Ying, who had been following silently, breathed a sigh of relief. But this did not mean that Maoyan's work was over.
In fact, her daily routine has just begun.
The team that had assembled underground began to dig deeper into the underground maze, avoiding the dense area of the Crocodile Corps as much as possible according to the original plan.
This is true "excavation", limited by the "size" of the underground labyrinth. Even if they select the most ideal underground space structure within dozens of square kilometers, there is still a lot of civil work to be completed.
To do this, they even carry the heaviest equipment capable of going underground.
"Let's start working."
"Boss, when these big guys turn on their phones later, are you sure we won't be overwhelmed by the crocodile?"
"At least not yet. As for the others, we need Miss Maoyan to provide early warning."
"Okay." Maoyan answered simply.
Fries encouraged everyone and reduced the pressure: "A small force will not be enough for us; as for a large force, we don't have to bear any burden. Currently, we are conducting reconnaissance at multiple points and excavations are carried out simultaneously. Even if the Crocodile Corps is restless, it will not be enough for us."
There will be some diversion.”
"Boss, I heard that the observation team of the Air Force has also arrived?"
"uh-huh."
"Is it the legendary seventh generation?"
"I don't know... It is said that we were originally going to Xia City, but something went wrong in Huaicheng, and the airship landed directly here. Well, maybe we can enjoy naval gun support and so on."
"It would be nice if we don't get blasted into the sky with the crocodile."
"What are you thinking about? The most they can do is bury them together!"
After all, Freese is an outspoken guy, and after a few simple exchanges on the team channel, his true form was revealed.
Fortunately, Maoyan and other team members have long been accustomed to this routine, so she directly contacted the team maintenance engineer:
"How is the little turtle doing?"
"DX2 intelligent control dual-type robot inspection completed."
"Thank you for the permission transfer."
"Here, little turtle, go to your mother's place."
"roll."
The DX2 underground special robot named "Little Turtle" entered a bottomless hole in front of it without any temper, and soon went far away.
Maoyan obtained its highest control authority, showing an interesting career advancement developed during long-term cooperation with the military:
