It was absolutely scary!
Everyone was still shaken, unable to recover from the shock of the laser attack when they suddenly heard Big Guy let out a horrified scream.
Felicia felt her heart sink. Did he fall into a trap?
Everyone looked at Big Guy and saw him holding a clump of hair, looking almost in tears.
Felicia was speechless, thinking, "How on earth did I recruit such a whiny creature?"
Big Guy was truly aggrieved. A chunk of his hair had just been sliced off, leaving him with a patchy hairstyle, looking as if someone ran a lawn mower over his hair.
"No… My hair…"
"Stop crying. You should be thankful that it's just your hair that got cut. If it had been a few more inches, we would've had to light a candle to mourn your passing!" Scarlet rolled her eyes and said bluntly.
Big Guy whimpered a few times, still holding his hair as he sobbed. He then carefully stuffed the hair into his backpack.
Scarlet continued, "Are you keeping it as a memento? Fine. I know a craftsman who can turn it into a wig. I'll make sure to pass his contact information to you once we're back."
Big Guy snorted, ignoring her.
Felicia quickly said, "Alright, alright. From now on, no one is allowed to act on their own or interfere with the mission!"
Felicia moved to the front of the team, ready to take the lead.
Scarlet pushed her way through the others and stayed close to Felicia's side.
They continued to move forward cautiously, disarming two more traps along the way. Finally, deep inside the vast bomb shelter, they discovered a hidden small building.
