The Second Team Race (1)

After finishing her meal, Neferet remarked, "Outside, there are many, and we have little vision. If we enter the tunnel, we will have to prioritize getting out."

After briefly recognizing Shane's presence with a nod, he swiftly stood to his feet and began walking along the corridor. 

When Neferet heard the sound of Shane's knees continuously striking the ground, it was the moment she made up her decision to go after him.

Armin shifted his focus away from the couple that was drawing nearer to him and pointed to the pieces of the sculptures that were scattered across the ground.

He said, "What will these statues be?"

Shane lowered his head and took an angle that gave him a better view of them from below. 

He speculated that perhaps the objective of these animals was to transport something through the network of tunnels that was placed beneath the hive and that this might have been the reason why they were there.
