"This is supposed to be an opportunity for us to showcase our strength. Why are you so careless? Get down and bandage that up," Lucas complained as he noticed one of his team members had been hit by a ricochet, leaving a wound on his arm. He ordered the injured member to fall back to the second line.
As he estimated the trajectory of the ricochet, a hint of contemplation crossed Lucas's face.
This injury was not an accident; it was inflicted by an opponent with exceptional marksmanship who, after calculating the distance, executed a ricochet shot that directly injured his subordinate hiding behind cover.
Even this level of shooting ability made Lucas feel somewhat inferior.
"It's normal to encounter skilled opponents. If their trump card is just him alone, then we can't escape the fate of annihilation this time. Everyone stay alert; they likely have other cards they can't use openly," Yang Xiaoyou replied after receiving Lucas's communication.
At that moment, he was walking confidently along a metal walkway inside a warehouse, heading straight toward the enemy's direction.
Despite not taking any cover and maintaining his rhythm and pace, this clearly visible figure went unnoticed by both the invading Hive Security Company and the tightly defending Italians, as if he were merely air.
"Hmm?" As he calmly adjusted to the situation around him while stepping onto a container to gain leverage for reaching the other side, Yang Xiaoyou suddenly focused intently. He halted his rhythmic steps and lowered his gaze to examine the area around the container he was standing on.
Some faint traces of movement appeared in his line of sight, and they were remarkably fresh.
"Their pinpoint shooting ability is no less than ours, and their physical condition is even better. They possess excellent evasion skills, combined with bulletproof vests protecting vital areas. It will be difficult for us to inflict effective damage!" Bartholomew said grimly as one of his subordinates was shot after exposing himself.
His subordinates specialized in shooting, and achieving their current level required significant training effort; he understood the difficulty involved.
However, their opponents not only matched their shooting skills but also had physical attributes that rivaled those specialized in close combat. They couldn't find any effective weaknesses.
At this moment, Bartholomew felt somewhat suppressed in terms of expertise. If the enemy truly advanced into their territory, wouldn’t that mean allowing them to slaughter them at will?
Now Bartholomew vaguely understood the enemy's intentions! They aimed to take down his side at minimal cost and had already determined the final outcome!
"Damn it, do we have to use those things?! But we just got here! They're all gathered together! What will we do once their effectiveness wears off if we deploy them now?!" Bartholomew's expression darkened as he took a control panel from his waist. Looking at the rows of buttons on it, his face reflected uncertainty.
Finally, gritting his teeth, he spoke grimly into the intercom: "Beekeeper units two and four begin injecting pheromones. Now activating the cooling system for unit one; it will be activated in five minutes!"
"Oh, you really are a Lingering Grudge! Damn it!" With a forceful grunt, Yang Xiaoyou pried open the side door of the Container, revealing three strange black vessels inside, exuding a chilling aura. He instinctively rubbed his temples.
Above the three vessels, several thick cooling pipes had already extended outward, spinning and emitting a sound reminiscent of a truck's brakes releasing steam. A wave of white, cold mist spread out in all directions.
A sound akin to boiling water emanated from the three containers, occasionally accompanied by a sharp creaking noise as if something metallic was shifting inside.
"Hey. It seems like this is quite a mature product already; even the Mafia can get their hands on it? Tsk, how the hell did they transport this? That idiot with the missing ear!" Yang Xiaoyou muttered through clenched teeth before directly contacting his team with a grim tone.
"Attention all units, if there are any strange movements nearby, teams of three or fewer should withdraw immediately. Gather at the nearest point and act as a squad! Pay special attention to those brand new Containers! This is a B-Class Contraction Biochemical Leak Incident!"
Yang Xiaoyou's words caught the Hivemind Team Members, who were just settling into their routine, off guard. However, upon hearing about the B-Class biochemical leak incident, their expressions turned grave.
According to internal classification levels, a B-Class leak signifies the potential emergence of large-scale Advanced Infected or localized Low-Level Corpses. The term "contraction" indicates that the likelihood of spreading is low and that it is in a stable phase.
Without a doubt, what lay before them could only be the former!
"Are you sure?!" Lucas asked darkly while gathering his subordinates.
"It's confirmed; it's a Licker. The number is unknown, and we cannot rule out mutations or enhancements. It should be a product of the latest Queen Bee System. Avoid close combat with them; use concentrated Firepower to suppress them. I will try to identify their controller; in this environment, they will face significant challenges." After taking a deep breath, a hint of Crimson appeared in Yang Xiaoyou's eyes, and his smooth black hair began to sway as if stirred by an unseen wind.
A nearly visible wave radiated outward from him in arcs, spreading in all directions. The wave diminished almost to invisibility after traveling just a few meters away from his body, yet an invisible force continued to surge forward, penetrating all obstacles and reaching its essence.
In a corner of the warehouse security room, two figures huddled together, their faces pale and bloodshot with exhaustion. Suddenly, they inexplicably shivered.
In their minds, darkness seemed to envelop them completely! In this dark world, only a pair of indifferent eyes stared back at them, as if trying to pierce through their very souls!
This instinctively triggered a sense of dread within them, as if they were facing an overwhelming ruler who was impossible to resist!
Fortunately, this darkness faded after a moment, returning them to their original world.
As both of them gasped for breath, they exchanged a startled glance. However, considering their current state, they attributed it to the side effects of the injection.
Opening her eyes, Yang Xiaoyou glanced in a certain direction, as if trying to penetrate through all the obstacles in between.
At that moment, the various complex switches on the three metal containers inside the Container began to click open one after another, drawing Yang Xiaoyou's full attention. The metallic lump was not something that could be destroyed in a short time; they had to wait for whatever was inside to emerge.
Trapped in such a narrow space, although she couldn't avoid it, the agile leaps of the Licker were also severely restricted.
"The target is in the security room of the area. Fein will lead the mobile team to advance. Remember not to rush; keep up the harassment and strike when there’s a change inside," Yang Xiaoyou ordered while rubbing her shoulder, which crackled with sounds as she did so.
Just as she finished speaking, with a loud bang, the outermost metal container split open from the middle. A crimson figure burst forth from the opening, releasing a cloud of freezing white mist as it shot outwards.
It moved at an incredible speed, far beyond human capability!
As it leaped into the air, it aimed its tongue like a sharp arrow at Yang Xiaoyou.
The piercing sound of air being sliced made her eardrums ache.
However, just as that elastic yet deadly tongue was about to penetrate Yang Xiaoyou's forehead, a powerful palm seemed to appear out of nowhere, gripping that slippery tongue covered in granular protrusions tightly like an iron claw, stopping it just one centimeter from her forehead.
With a sudden forceful grip, that seemingly weak palm crushed the part it held!
Blood mixed with yellowish fluid sprayed out, causing the Licker still in mid-air to emit a sharp wail.
The tongue, which had been flexibly moving and attempting to continue its attack, went limp due to the intense grip.
At that moment, another Licker emerged from the second container! It lunged straight towards Yang Xiaoyou!
Saliva dripped from the mouth, creating a grotesque spectacle in the air.
However, just as it lunged midway, it was violently collided with another crimson figure nearby, the immense force causing both to tumble into a chaotic heap.
It was the Licker that had its tongue caught by Yang Xiaoyou, now being used as a weapon and flung away.
As both were sent flying, strands of silver Silk Thread wrapped around their bodies, tightening instantly and embedding deep into their flesh!
At that moment, the last Licker within the Container finally arrived late, taking advantage of Yang Xiaoyou's focus on retracting the Silk Thread to leap toward him.
Yet, as its sharp claws pierced through Yang Xiaoyou's chest, it felt as if it had shattered glass, passing through without any resistance whatsoever!
A human-shaped phantom slowly took form behind it as it penetrated the dissipating body.
As it passed through that fading figure, several loops of silver Silk Thread appeared on its own body as well.
“It's... it's gone. We've lost all contact. At first, I could sense it; this is different from what the manuals said!” In the security room, one pale-faced man with bloodshot eyes stammered into the walkie-talkie directed at Bartholomew.
This prompted an eruption of angry curses from the other end.
