As Fanatic Foodie placed the water-soaked parchment in his dimensional device, he turned to the rest of the team and said:
"Let's stop wasting time. Let's go!"
The vanguard squad swam away without giving any heed to the relentless pursuers behind them.
As they no longer sought to fight, they occasionally dropped various explosives towards their pursuers.
Miraculously, the group of deep-sea creatures couldn't catch up with them.
Thanks to the guidance from their radar coordinates, they miraculously made their way back to the portal.
Then, naturally everything happened as planned. The members of the vanguard team split into two groups: one formed a defensive grid to block off the deep-sea creatures, while the other managed the portal's opening and closing.
With a sigh of relief, the vanguard team found themselves back on the human home planet, fifteen thousand meters under the ground.
By looking at the engraved reliefs on the door, they seemed to understand what they all meant.
