"What’s happening?!" Feeling the violent tremors and the sudden piercing alarm, the White-Haired Professor's face darkened to the point where it seemed like water could drip from it. Just moments ago, he had proudly praised the defensive capabilities here, only to be attacked immediately—this was a blatant slap in the face.
"Monsters! So many monsters have launched a surprise attack on us! They are those creatures codenamed Licker! And among them, there are also...!" Thanks to the extremely comprehensive defense system, news of the situation quickly reached them as soon as the disturbance occurred.
"Hmph! Even if they are here, they won't breach our defenses in a short time. The Sixth and Eighth Outposts are less than an hour away for support. Even with the current situation, a rapid march of an hour and a half will bring the first wave of reinforcements, enough to hold out until the Far East Army Headquarters sends their main forces. They are looking for death! Do they really think we don’t have backup communication systems?!" Upon hearing that response, a fierce expression flashed across the professor's face.
That damned organization! How dare they target both sides of England and America at once? Now that they had caught them red-handed, they would surely be punished severely!
However, he also understood that given that organization's caution, they likely had a complete strategy and considerable confidence. If they succeeded in finding an opportunity, they would undoubtedly shift the blame elsewhere, claiming it was the work of other organizations infected with the virus.
"Hmph! The Lickers are sold everywhere, but if there are large quantities of... only they can provide!" He began adjusting several monitors to observe the situation outside, his face still grim.
At the same time, he unfolded a keyboard and started entering a password because the data stored here was crucial; the internal network was nearly impenetrable. With external communications disrupted, he had no choice but to use his own authority.
Just as he began typing in the password and scanned his eye pattern, his body suddenly froze. He looked down in disbelief at the soft red tongue that had pierced through his chest, blood mixed with fragments spewing from his mouth.
"You..." He struggled to turn his head toward his assistant holding a notebook behind him. His throat blocked, he could only emit a muffled sound.
"Professor, you’re getting old; it's time to let go. I’ll finish your work," said the assistant with a cruel smile on his face as the tongue swiftly swallowed pieces of internal organs.
The grotesque long tongue licked at the blood at its corner of the mouth, appearing exceptionally terrifying.
Then he tossed aside the professor's lifeless body and began typing rapidly on the control system that had just been initiated.
Amidst pouring rain, standing atop a tree branch was Yang Xiaoyou, whose eyes were filled with digital symbols as he stared at the chaotic scene unfolding at the base ahead.
The communication network was being rapidly destroyed; it had frustrated him for quite some time. It seemed that new signals from another Sewage System had appeared within.
At the same time, his consciousness directly descended into the base through the fluctuations of that Sewage System.
One had to admit that this test base was indeed managed like a fortress. Among bases of similar scale, it was undoubtedly the most terrifying existence Yang Xiaoyou had ever encountered.
If it weren't for their own abilities, relying solely on the infiltration of the Elite members from Hive Security Company would likely lead to failure.
Just look at those dozens of Lickers. The fact that even a dozen hidden among them were severely thwarted speaks volumes.
However, it was clear that no matter how excellent the defense system was, it could easily be undermined from within. After witnessing the scene inside through the surveillance, Yang Xiaoyou couldn't help but sigh.
He never expected the organization's influence to be so vast that they could infiltrate such a highly classified institution.
If it weren't for the internal flaws that couldn't sustain a long period of concealment, they might have had a chance to obtain information directly through their insider.
At the very least, the precise information that the organization managed to gather was related to that insider.
"Our allies should have already taken action. The organization has begun its offensive; how about we launch a surprise attack now? Otherwise, if we delay too long, we might face reinforcements," Silence suggested from beneath the tree where Yang Xiaoyou stood.
"No need, let's continue waiting. The organization has paralyzed most of their defensive network, and their advance speed is rapid. We should strike when both sides' main forces collide and have worn each other down sufficiently. Otherwise, even if we go in now, we won't save much time; instead, it will increase our pressure." After witnessing several powerful individuals displaying astonishing strength while battling the Lickers, Yang Xiaoyou dismissed Silence's suggestion.
At this moment, more than a dozen core members of Hive Security Company, along with Weimar and several dozen regular members, were concentrated nearby, seemingly ready to unleash destructive power at any moment.
Fia, due to her physical condition, was unable to participate in such frontline actions.
After all, this was such an important research endeavor; even if squeezed from every angle, both the United States and Britain had numerous elite soldiers here.
However, with their defensive system collapsing, they would likely be unable to withstand those ravenous Lickers and hidden threats.
In that narrow and complex corridor environment, with defenses gone and only complicated terrain remaining, the Lickers' astonishing agility could allow them to unleash 150% of their strength!
Ordinary soldiers were like wheat being harvested, barely able to put up any resistance. The backbone of their defense relied on a few super strong individuals.
With them as the core and accompanied by some regular soldiers, they barely managed to halt the enemy's advance and began entering a state of stalemate.
"I didn't expect there to be a backup model. Our intelligence capabilities are still relatively weak," Yang Xiaoyou said with a hint of surprise in her eyes, followed by a self-deprecating smile. With a bounce, she leaped from the treetops to the other side.
The speed and skill she displayed left everyone, except for Silence and Weimar, astonished. Laiwei, in particular, felt as if she had swallowed a fly, her expression comically exaggerated.
Well, at first, she had comforted herself by thinking that this person was just a bit smarter. That fleeting glimpse of the Sniping Technique was merely a consolation that it was just someone who could shoot well.
However, at this moment, although it was just a simple leap, it made her realize that this person's physical abilities were likely exceptionally strong.
"Hmph, I can do that too. There's no way their Sniper skills and close combat training are as good as mine," Laiwei thought to herself before following closely behind.
Lucas recovered faster than she did.
The heavy rain battered the leaves, causing them to sway violently, and the ground became muddy and waterlogged with puddles everywhere.
In such an environment, dozens of figures suddenly darted through, either splashing through the puddles or leaping over treetops with graceful agility. In this roadless terrain, their speed was astonishing.
"Why aren't we directly infiltrating the base? This direction seems off," Silence remarked. Although he trusted Yang Xiaoyou's abilities, he still felt it was his duty to point out any obvious issues.
"Our goal isn't to storm the base but to gather information. Someone has already brought the data out, and they've even taken the backup model with them—it's a perfect opportunity," Yang Xiaoyou replied through the internal communicator, outlining what everyone needed to do next.
"The main force of the Advanced Infected Aspects has already infiltrated the base. Aside from two or three escorts, we might encounter support teams; we cannot let our guard down."
At this point, Yang Xiaoyou had to acknowledge the organization's strength. Although they had paid a price for it, they ultimately obtained what they wanted. Moreover, since their internal information was more comprehensive than theirs, it was likely that their support teams were nearing arrival as well.
A large truck bumped along a muddy road. The container behind it exuded a sci-fi vibe with its sleek silver design.
However, the splashing mud marred its beauty significantly.
Just as they sped forward, a rocket launcher shot through the rain-soaked air from the nearby forest with a fiery tail trailing behind it.
The driver of the truck was quite remarkable. Upon sensing something was wrong, he suddenly swerved, managing to forcefully avoid a collision. However, even so, the truck crashed into the mountainside and came to a halt.
"Damn it! Where are the reinforcements?! Those stupid humans!" A pale-faced woman in the driver's seat shouted sharply.
According to the plan, the human reinforcements should have already met up with them, but unexpectedly, they were faced with this sudden attack!
At that moment, a sound of something falling came from the roof of the cab, as if someone was standing on top of the truck. A cold voice echoed down, "Stupid humans? Are they yours?"
Then a Signal Gun struck a spot in the dense forest nearby, and bodies began to pile up in that area.
"This is impossible! Eight human Momentum Level experts, along with various Elites—how could they be wiped out in such a short time?!" Although she constantly looked down on humans, that woman understood just how formidable those who reached Momentum Level truly were!
With the assistance of those Elite warriors, they should have been able to withstand an assault from the Regular Army!
They had clearly confirmed the presence of the reinforcement team before taking action, but how long had it been? And now they had turned into lifeless corpses!
"Because we are Hive Security Company."
Accompanied by that emotionless voice, a hand suddenly broke through the top of the cab and reached down to grab the woman's head, yanking her out from the roof.
