Not only insects, but various plants have also mutated.
Take the common ivy, for example, which directly crawled all over the walls, its roots penetrating the concrete.
Mutated vines were seen directly hunting small animals and insects.
A long vine dangled seven or eight animals and a large number of mutated insects, yet all of these animals and insects had become a layer of skin.
The vine's roots penetrated the bodies of these animals and insects, sucking their flesh and blood clean.
Of course, the gnome skeletons also appeared among the floors.
Mo Qingchen looked at the eerie eight displays, his face extremely unpleasant.
This was just the bottom five floors of the Twin Towers, already resembling hell on earth; one can imagine the streets outside the tower being even more terrifying.
"Little idiot, deploy four insect reconnaissance robots to check outside the tower, and another four to investigate if there's any space beneath the Twin Towers."
This is a technological civilization; with flying devices there are vehicles for transportation.
The Twin Towers must have underground parking levels or basements of sorts.
He always senses something wrong about this Twin Towers, but if the first twenty floors covered in red mist yield no discoveries, the secret is likely hidden below.
Using these insect robots to investigate is the perfect chance, either finding something or gaining a slight peace of mind, right?
The main issue is, there's nothing else to do at the moment.
Outside the tower, the Tier Five Bloodthirsty Goose with its gang is circling, breaking the tower's glass from time to time and rushing into floors to inspect, determined not to rest.
Detecting conditions below the fifth floor, he dared not rashly venture out; those snakes, insects, rats, and ants after mutating have turned into Exotic Beasts.
Seeing the recent detection video, these snakes, insects, rats, and ants are definitely venomous, along with plants growing below the fifth floor that are similarly dangerous.
"It seems I can only wait for the Bloodthirsty Goose to retreat before leaving by air."
The ground is too dangerous, going out might lead to a melee by Exotic Beasts, better to leave through the air, straight to another tower's rooftop, then descending floors to clear monsters and earn points.
Witnessing an Exotic Beast brawl, Mo Qingchen realized deeply the monster strength in this dystopian dungeon.
Venturing out on his own is impossible; surviving through the trial dungeon comes first.
Soon, the eight displays show new differing scenes.
Four dispatched insect robots to the outside of the tower detected many different scenes.
Outside the Twin Towers there's a ten-meter vacant area with no plants or Exotic Beasts present, apart from the ground appearing deteriorated and decayed by time, no anomalies were detected.
And no abnormalities is truly the largest abnormality.
Obviously, inside the Twin Towers, a great secret is hidden, at least one extremely powerful Exotic Beast present; otherwise, how would one explain even the outside plants daring not grow this way?
And beyond ten meters, it's another scene.
A primordial jungle?
No, mutated plants covering the road, dense wild grass taller than a person.
Aside from this, enormous towering trees grew through the red mist covering 20-floor buildings.
Exotic Beasts occasionally pass through the forest, Mo Qingchen even saw a mutated rat larger than a gnome skeleton darting past the insect robot.
The number of Exotic Beasts outside is much denser than inside the tower, seemingly everywhere.
"Indeed, the streets of the post-apocalyptic city are more dangerous."
Shaking his head, Mo Qingchen turned his gaze to the other four windows.
The Twin Towers indeed have a structure like an underground parking lot.
However, those parked cars have all been corroded, not a single vehicle completely intact, and many cars seem smashed and destroyed.
The underground parking lot had two levels, many rotting skeletons were visible, but strangely no mutated plants or animals were present.
With the insect robots' detection, dozens of Tier Four gnome mechanical monsters were seen, looking half flesh half machine.
An insect robot crawling through a ventilation duct accidentally discovered a secret structure further down!
"Is this a secret chamber? Doesn't seem like it, feels like a secret base from movies of the previous world."
The insect robot emerged from the ventilation duct into a storeroom, piled with many building materials, many already decayed, yet others preserved well like steel, albeit rusted a bit.
Crawling through a door gap led to a pitch-dark corridor, to Mo Qingchen's surprise the red mist was very faint here.
In the underground parking lot, the red mist cover only allowed visibility of objects within 5 meters, but in this underground passage the insect robot's night vision saw 20 meters away.
Clinging to the ceiling and slowly advancing, this hundred-meter-long corridor had a room every twenty meters, although the doors were sealed.
Not normal swinging doors, but rather like elevator opening and closing doors.
"What a strange place, how does it dispel the red mist?"
Mo Qingchen had roamed floors clouded by red mist and had a slight understanding of it.
This thing seems to induce bacterial growth, once food is exposed to the red mist it spoils and rots within ten minutes.
Soon, this insect robot reached the corridor's end, an elevator shaft with its door pried open.
Upon entering, it was discovered the elevator shaft laid like a deep pit, extending far down.
"An underground base constructed, akin to the Hive in prior movies like Resident Evil?"
Watching the insect robot descend, especially the screen showing the underground depth meter reaching certain figures, Mo Qingchen's expression became grimmer.
Obviously, this location is an underground base, likely established before the apocalypse with secrets lurking within.
Potentially, a laboratory researching frightening things inside.
Just as Mo Qingchen pondered, the mechanical insect had reached the bottom of the elevator shaft, the depth meter reading 205 meters.
Soon, the mechanical insect crawled out of the elevator shaft into a huge base.
Brightly lit, mechanical sounds were even present, yet the ground was uneven, pits yet visible with bones decayed into white skeletons.
At the central position of the base, a circular isolation chamber built with a special kind of glass was situated.
When the insect robot came to the glass of the isolation chamber, the sight inside directly changed Mo Qingchen's complexion dramatically!
