a few minutes later...
Ethan, who was almost done assembling the energy capacitor heard a sudden knock on the door.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Pierce, who was typing on a keyboard, trembled when he heard the movement outside, and almost thought he was done for.
"Ethan! How long until its finished? im almost done here!"
Pierce asked nervously.
"Im almost done! Just give me a bit more time!"
After finally putting in the last few screws, Ethan picked up a hammer next to him, and ran behind the door to hide.
As long as someone breaks into the door, they can take the opportunity to try and run away.
"Is there anyone in there!? Speak up!"
"Captain, there is no movement inside."
"This door is locked, there must be someone inside, report the situation here to the chief, we are going to break in!"
Hearing the voices outside, Ethan, who's eyes were originally desperate lit up.
That's his language!, and Ethan can be pretty sure that it's definitely not those gangsters apart of the rings out there!
"Pierce, it looks like we're saved!"
The relieved Ethan shouted excitedly to Pierce who was finishing up his self made enrrgy weapon he originally olanned to use to escape.
Pierce who was rushing to finish up his work was relieved.
"My name is William Pierce! Im going to open the door now!"
Pierce in Iron Armor shouted.
Listening to the voice inside the door, the two agents looked at each other, then excitedly picked up their contactor to report, "Sir, we have found William Pierce, he is still alive! We are..."
Before the agent's words were finished, Pierce heard his words stop abruptly.
Sharon listening to the silent communicator became inexplicably nervous.
"Please repeat, where are you?"
"Hello? Hello! F**k!"
Sharon was so angry that she threw the contactor to the ground.
"Locate where they went somerhing shouldve happened to them!"
Sharon ordered the agents angrily.
Pierce couldn't help but shudder when he heard the sound coming to an abrupt stop outside.
Could there be an accident outside?
Could it be the people who came to save him was ambushed?
Thinking of this, Pierce quickly stopped Ethan, who was about to open the door.
Tony said anxiously "Ethan don't open the door! something may have happened outside!"
After a while, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard, and Sharon who came in a hurry, looked gloomily at the two familiar battle suits on the ground with a familiar putrid stench.
"F**k! What is Fury trying to do? he couldve atleast said something before he sent us out here!" Sharon cursed angrily while looking at the clothes on the ground.
That authority dog!, you have to keep a hand in everything you do.
Pierce, who had already equipped his weapons, heard the swearing outside, and immediately asked loudly, "Hello is there anybody there?"
Hearing the voice, Sharon who was extremely nervous and observing her surroundings was taken by suprise"F**k you scared me! stay in there for a bit we have a bit of a situation out here!"
"it seems that something really happened out there" Pierce whispered to Ethan who was hiding in the corner
"Um?"
Sharon, who was about to call someone for more people suddenly frowned.
She keenly heard a crawling sound. Similar to the sounds of snakes crawling.
As a trained operative she looked at the plants and sensed danger
"Alert! Something's wrong with these plants!"
Sharon looked at the dense vines on the wall and felt her scalp go numb.
Suddenly countless vines frantically swept towards Sharon and the others. The vines seemed to cover everything in sight.
At this moment the agents in the cave felt like they have fallen into the huge mouth of the abyss, appearing incomparably small and weak.
"Battle array!"
Although the soldiers tried there best to stop the vines they seemed to be endless, constantly sweeping in.
In less than a few minutes, several members of the team led by Sharon fell asleep, as if they were drugged.
As the agents constantly fell, In the room only Sharon with a dagger was left standing.
If it weren't for her high cultivation base and strong physique she probably would end up no different from the agents on the floor.
At this critical moment, the door behind Sharon was kicked open, and Pierce, wearing a heavy steel armor, walked out step by step.
"You bastards! I have put uo with you long enough now you wi-..."
Before Pierce could express his pent up emotions, he saw the vines all over the cave.
"F**k! What the hell is this?" He thought he could finally take his revenge on the ones who captured him but who would have thought that right after he finally was going to turn over instead of armed militia men what greeted him was moving sentient vines.
______
Black order sub-base command room.
"Report to the president! We have locked the specific location of the carnivorous ivy, and we are closing in!"
Sephyr reported to Joseph.
"It's all thanks to the bunch of people who appeared out of nowhere, Without the sacrifices of these two groups of people, It would have been difficult to draw out the vines"
To contain the containment, sacrifice is inevitable.
It is very fortunate that no members of the order were sacrificed in the process.
After this profit, Joseph was in a happy mood and he ordered
"Send the location of the ivy to 450 and rescue the survivors trapped inside, and then carry out the containment operation!"
......
Inside the cave, Pierce manipulated the steel armor and smashed the vines that were constantly spreading over, blocking the vines from getting to the comatose Ethan and Sharon on his shoulder while slowly trying to go to the exit .
He found that the steel armor's movement speed was getting slower and slower, and under the high intensity endless erosion of those vines, the energy provided by the energy core he mode for the steel armor is constantly shrinking.
"Do i have another choice...."
"No! Ill try to hold on for as long as i can"
Pierce shook his head heavily.
In fact, he still has a way to escape, which is to directly turn on the Flight mode and detontate the explosives he was making for the rings before.
But the consequence of doing so is that he has to give up the people on his shoulder.
Less than a few meters from the exit of the cave his steel armor finally was about to hit the low energy point. 'warning, flight mode may not be available if energy is too low'
"Sacrifice the people that tried to save me, how pathetic is that."
Pierce sighed bitterly.
In the steel armor, Pierce who was contemplating frowned
"Hmm! Why did the temperature get lower?"
Through the cold fog Pierce vaguely saw a few swaying figures.
They were wearing steel-clad battle suits, gas masks and bizarre weapons that sprayed cold air...
"We are here! They are just unconscious, help me!" Pierce cried out for help
After K stepped forward to check, he immediately said "I'll take the two people on his shoulders out first. As for this guy in the steel armor, see if there is a way to open the steel armor, this thing is too heavy, we It can't be dragged at all."
450 heard it and said in a low voice: "Follow what he said and pull that guy out of the suit."
At this time, 450 didn't have time to scold the overstepping behavior of K and nodded to the synthetic soldiers next to him.
After groping and beating for a while, the members of the order finally broke open the steel armor and pulled out Pierce, who upon inhaling the extremely dense gas the vines secreeted in a small space immediately went unconscious.
