The experts have measured that no holes can be drilled above the Insect Man, not because of the fear of collapse, but because it’s too hard. Probing shows that excavating to reach the Insect Man will take quite some time, so it’s better to save people first.

On the first day of the cleanup, we encountered a thorny incident, quite a shock.

The little spider remained motionless, watching the movements of the Greed.

Soon, all contestants without Mecha retreated, and the ground hole was opened.

The large hanging lamps illuminated the inside, and after several days, people’s spirits were tormented to the brink of madness. Upon seeing the light, underground people hurriedly tried to crawl out.

Two who were slightly stronger exerted all their strength and came out themselves before anyone could go in to rescue them.

Since the opening slanted downward, it was possible to walk, so it wasn’t too laborious.

Finally returning to the surface, the survivors breathed the outside air in large gulps.

The opening was not large; it could only accommodate two people at most. Inside, there were two severely injured individuals who had to be carried out by someone.

Two children were carried to the entrance, where the Lieutenant leading the rescue caught them at the opening.

Upon seeing the surface again, the light discomforted their eyes, and the children started crying again out of excitement. It was very quiet around, and Feng Wansha noticed the Insect Man seemed to react more to the children’s cries, saying, "Don’t let the kids cry."

The Lieutenant quickly covered their mouths with one hand each and ordered others to take them to the Blue Star rescue center.

After the children were taken away, the Insect Man’s escape speed slowed, yet still made everyone exceedingly nervous.

The Captain leading the team ordered his subordinates to put on exoskeletons. He understood the condition of the wounded inside and how to handle their injuries.

Among the fifteen rescued people was a nurse who said, "His calf is broken, about ten centimeters up from the ankle. I removed a straight plastic strip from a toy to help stabilize it. I don’t know why the other one is in a coma. When I saw him, he was passed out there, not dead, still breathing, but hasn’t woken up."

The soldiers were able to bend over and pass through the opening once they were suited up with exoskeletons.

The Lieutenant said to his subordinate, "Save the seriously injured ones first."

The subordinate nodded and slowly descended with the exoskeleton. Halfway down, he straightened his back and adjusted.

Suddenly, stones fell from above, and the machinery supporting the entrance quickly reacted to remedy the situation, but the opening was still half-buried.

The soldier in the exoskeleton turned back, sweat droplets forming at the tip of his nose, thankfully not hitting the top of his head.

He wiped his sweat with relief and grew more cautious. Reaching the location, he squatted down to check the condition of the two individuals, which was indeed as the nurse had said; the man with the broken leg appeared pale and almost on the brink of death, his wounds were severe.

He took out a rescue bed from the Space Button, opened up the bandaged area to see if there were any external injuries, finding only some bruising, which didn’t require immediate disinfection.

Next, he planned to inject a tube of nutrient fluid and a tube of healing agent into the seriously injured one to stabilize his vital signs. Although it would speed up bone healing, it could be corrected through surgery later.

As long as he doesn’t die, a broken leg is a minor issue.

Seeing the paleness of the injured man’s face slightly ease up, the soldier placed him onto the rescue bed. The fallen rocks had just been cleared, and another teammate came in. They carried the person out, one in front of the other.

The process took ten minutes.

Feng Wansha showed the Lieutenant a visual of the Insect Man, "Do it faster."

The Lieutenant saw that the Insect Man was just a bit away; its head had completely separated from its body and was then growing another body.

This is not a solution; two soldiers have already turned back to save another person.

His brows furrowed tightly. What to do? If they can’t save them, sending more people in is akin to sending them to their deaths. Such dim and narrow places are not conducive to combat.
