Chapter 4: Prelude to the Dark Forest

The darkness of the Netherworld is like an endless abyss, enveloping the starships. The shell of the battleship trembled slightly under the erosion of dark energy, as if it would be swallowed at any moment. Despite this, the atmosphere inside the battleship was unusually calm. The members of the squad are ready for the upcoming challenges.

Lin Yi stood at the door of the rest cabin, his gaze sweeping over each team member. Renaud was sitting in the corner wiping his heavy weapon, with a hint of seriousness on his face; Su Yao was busy in front of the console, checking the data of various instruments; Alice, on the other hand, closed her eyes, her long purple hair fluttering slightly, as if communicating with some invisible force.

"We've been here long enough." Lin Yi's voice broke the silence, "It's time to go." "

Renault raised his head and showed a confident smile: "I can't wait, Lin Yi." This dark forest sounds exciting. "

Su Yao turned around from the console, her face with a hint of concern: "Although I have tried my best to repair the instrument, the energy interference of the Netherworld is still very strong. When we enter the Dark Forest, we may lose all contact with the outside world. "

Lin Yi nodded, his gaze fell on the badge: "It's okay, we still have the badge." It will lead us to the fragments of the Heart of the Abyss. "

Alice opened her eyes, her purple eyes glinting, "I will use my spiritual power to show you the way." The Dark Forest is dangerous, but if we are careful, we should be able to find the debris. "

Lin Yi took a deep breath, his heart was full of determination: "Okay, then let's go." Target - Dark Forest. "

The starship slowly activated, heading towards the dark forest deep in the Netherworld. As the distance approached, the instruments inside the battleship began to show stronger interference, and the screen constantly flashed with a red alarm signal. Su Yao nervously operated the console, trying to stabilize the flight of the battleship.

"Attention, everyone, we are about to enter the confines of the Dark Forest." Su Yao's voice resounded inside the battleship, "Please be prepared to deal with possible dangers at any time." "

Lin Yi stood in the cockpit, looking at the darkness that was gradually becoming dense in front of him. His heart was filled with nervousness and unease, but at the same time there was an indescribable excitement. He knew that the adventure had just begun.

"Lin Yi, are you ready?" Su Yao walked up to him and asked softly.

Lin Yi nodded, his gaze firm: "Yaoyao, no matter what lies ahead, I will go down." We are a team and we will get things done together. "

Su Yao smiled slightly, her gaze fell on Lin Yi's chest: "I believe in you, Lin Yi." You are the bravest of people. "

The starship has finally reached the edge of the dark forest. It was an endless darkness, as if even the light had been swallowed up. The warship's sensors had completely failed, and he could only rely on the badge in Lin Yi's body to guide the way.

"We're landing here." Lin Yi's voice sounded inside the battleship, "The environment of the dark forest is complicated, and we can only move forward on foot. "

Renault nodded, he picked up his heavy weapon and checked the ammunition: "No problem, I'm ready." "

Alice also stood up, her long purple hair fluttering gently: "I will use my spiritual power to guide you in the direction." "

Su Yao picked up a small detector from the console, which she designed specifically for this mission: "Although the instrument has a lot of interference here, this detector may be able to help us find the debris." "

Lin Yi nodded, his heart full of confidence. He knows that they are a team, and as long as they work together, they will overcome all difficulties.

The battleship slowly landed at the edge of the dark forest. Lin Yi was the first to walk out of the hatch, he stood in the darkness, raised his head slightly, and felt the breath of the dark forest. His badge warmed slightly in his chest, as if to tell him that the fragments were nearby.

"Be careful, everyone." Lin Yi's voice sounded in the darkness, "We have entered the dark forest. "

Renault followed, his heavy weapon raised, and he glanced around vigilantly: "It's so fucking dark here, you can't see anything. "

Alice smiled slightly, her purple eyes glinting, "Don't worry, Renault. My psychic powers can perceive my surroundings. I'll show you the way. "

Su Yao carefully held the detector, with a hint of nervousness on her face: "Although the signal of the detector is weak, I will try my best to make it work." "

Lin Yi nodded, his gaze falling on the badge: "Let's follow the guidance of the badge." The debris is nearby, and I'm sure we'll be able to find it. "

There was an eerie silence in the dark forest, as if even the air was frozen. Lin Yi and his team members walked cautiously, and every step seemed to be stepping in endless darkness. The badge warmed slightly in his chest, guiding them in the right direction.

"Everyone, be careful, there may be danger here." Lin Yi's voice sounded in the darkness, "We don't know what is hidden in the Dark Forest, so we must always be vigilant. "

Renault nodded, his heavy weapon always ready: "Don't worry, Lin Yi." Whenever there is danger, I will be the first to rush forward. "

Alice smiled slightly, her purple eyes flashing: "I will use my spiritual power to show you the way." The Dark Forest is dangerous, but if we are careful, we should be able to find the debris. "

Su Yao held the detector tightly, and there was a hint of nervousness on her face: "Although the signal of the detector is weak, I will try my best to make it work." "
