Where Is The Black Ant Hill In Grounded の小説・ストーリー

she stammered, as if asking if she should really deliver that line. Ray laughed heartily. In a single, predatory motion, he pounced—and the policewoman was knocked down. … After resolving the side effects for Cassandra, Ray quietly moved out, approaching the New World base. He stopped a full kilometer from the entrance. Spatial awareness told him he was already standing above the base. The underground complex stretched wide. About five meters beneath the surface lay a massive structure resembling an ant colony. Not figuratively—Ray could tell it truly resembled an ant nest.

Ian leaned closer, frowning. “That’s… weird,” he muttered, tearing a sheet from his clipboard and scribbling something down. He turned to me. “The signal is weak and this is where it was stronger.” I scanned the coordinates. My pulse spiked. “You sure this thing isn’t glitching?” Ian shook his head, his tone darkening. “The signal’s faint, which means either she’s underground or someone’s jamming it.” I stared back at the location scribbled on paper. Fort Tilden.

Nathan didn't wait for an answer, grabbing Zack’s leather jacket and steering him toward the elevator. They reached the garage, the blacked-out SUV idling like a caged beast. Nathan took the back roads, pushing the engine until the city lights blurred into long, distorted streaks of white and red. They wound up at the Blackwood Cliffs, the highest point overlooking the Havenfall docks. Below them, the Atlantic was a churning pit of ink. Nathan cut the engine. The silence was deafening. He reached over, lacing his fingers through Zack’s, feeling the heat of the man he’d gone to war for.

On the cliffs, dawn began to break. And in the harbor below, the people of Black Hollow would wake to calm waters— Never knowing how close the dark had come. But deep beneath the lighthouse, in the chamber of spirals and stone— Mara felt the ocean watching her back. Chapter 5: The Second Pulse Dawn painted the sea gold. From the harbor, Black Hollow looked peaceful—fishing boats rocking gently, gulls wheeling overhead, sunlight catching on windows still wet from the storm. The lighthouse beam still burned.

Alex closed Glen's sketchbook. His face was calm. Almost too calm. Patricia searched his eyes desperately. "Tell me." Alex looked at her. "I think Glen is still close." David frowned. "But the whistle came from different directions." Alex nodded. "Exactly." "They wanted us looking everywhere..." "...except where they actually were." He pointed to Glen's final drawing. "The hornbill." "The abandoned ranger station lies directly beneath the hornbills' nesting cliffs." Gabriel smiled.

"The coordinates Cian gave us are literally in the Dead Zone. No radar, no radio support, and according to local legend, the area is haunted by the ghosts of sailors who had the misfortune of eating the clams." "That’s a racist thing to say about clams," I yelled back, tightening the straps on my own flight suit. "And yes, I'm sure. Prisons aren't usually built at Club Med, Armano. They're built in places that make people want to kill themselves just looking at them." I looked down at the map on my tablet. The Black Tower.

She had never expected Marth to travel all the way from Silvermoon territory, arriving in Blackrock City in secret. “This is no place to talk. Follow me.” Marth glanced at the slowly healing barrier, then turned and led the way out. Half an hour later. In a hidden basement chamber beneath the Windchaser Outpost. Soundproof rune stones lined the walls, sealing out all noise from the world above. Marth sat in a chair, listening silently as Eira explained the Anti-Magic Annihilation Array. She nodded slowly when Eira finished.

I stepped out slowly, looking around for anything that matched the intensity of what we’d just escaped. “Nothing is here,” Luca said behind me. His voice sounded tired… and worried. “This can’t be it. Carol, we’re exposed here. If Antonio's men come…” “Wait,” I whispered. Something tugged at my memory. It was shaped, a shadow and a faint square in the ground where the soil didn’t sit the same as the rest. I rushed toward it and dropped to my knees to discover it was a tunnel cover, old and rusted, almost swallowed by the earth. I grabbed the edge and pulled, but it didn’t move even a little.

“A foul but odd smell. It’s gone now. It would be better if we hurried, instead of standing in the open.” Stefanie moved to the left, seeing things as they were before. Then when she reached a place, she turned to Nick. “You can mark this spot. Have them look here for his bones. This is where Valdez’s ant house was.” “Ants?” Annette asked, puzzled.

He seemed to take comfort in the fact that there had been localised tremors in the area just before the collapse. As Jim tore past the grave now, he noticed something new. At its foot was a long vertical slit in the earth, almost a gash, where the turf had been pulled apart. In the waning light of the early evening, he could just make out that the gash opened onto a small tunnel.
