Buzz... Buzz... Buzz...
The sound of the rushing underground river drowned out all other noises. On one side of the river, figures were moving forward in the darkness without any illumination, feeling their way slowly.
As an extraordinary being and the leader, Long Ying walked at the forefront of the team. His eyes shimmered in the darkness, unaffected by the dark environment thanks to his enhanced vision after unlocking the genetic lock and experiencing the miracle of life.
Based on Lin Kun's description, he had already roughly drawn the internal structure of the base and formulated different plans for various situations. With his overwhelming lineup and the element of surprise, the chances of quickly defeating the defense forces inside the base exceeded seventy percent.
In Long Ying's view, the only person who might give him some trouble was the base supervisor mentioned by Lin Kun, Di Ruisi, who seemed to be an extraordinary being. However, even if he made the worst assumptions, the opponent was also an extraordinary being who had unlocked the genetic lock. Long Ying had enough confidence and strength to restrain or even completely suppress the opponent. Once his eight awakened subordinates defeated the remaining resistance forces, even this person named Di Ruisi would meet their downfall.
This confidence stemmed from his attainment of the middle stage of extraordinariness and the immense power that made him a formidable opponent even for Blood General. Both his soldiers and himself firmly believed in this.
The entire group advanced in silence, with little communication among them. The cave exit was only two kilometers away from the location of the base. The distance was neither long nor short, but in the pitch-black environment, Long Ying led his subordinates for a full half hour before finally noticing the faint lights in the distance.
"Leader, those lights should be the power station behind the base!" Lin Kun's eyes lit up beside Long Ying. "The base is just ahead!"
Long Ying's eyes narrowed as he looked ahead, and he could vaguely make out a building situated on the underground river, which was the power station referred to by Lin Kun.
"Everyone, stop here. I'll go and take a look first!" Despite his absolute confidence in the overall strength of his side, Long Ying remained cautious. He moved like the grim reaper walking in the shadows, silent but as fast as lightning, heading towards the direction of the lights.
His figure flickered among the rugged rocks, and Long Ying had already arrived near the power station. Not only did he see the power station, but he also caught a glimpse of the backdoor of the base experimental area just a few tens of meters away from the power station, aided by the dim light.
Long Ying squinted his eyes slightly and quickly returned to his original position. In the darkness, he gave instructions to Lin Kun, Qiao Jun, and others:
"There are two guards inside the power station. I'll take care of them. If we can find the key to the backdoor from them, we'll sneak in. Otherwise, we'll blow it open. Attack them and disable them as quickly as possible before they organize any resistance. Understood?"
"Yes!"
Immediately after, the group quickly approached the power station. When they were within thirty meters, others found cover to hide their figures. At this distance, the music could already be heard through the windows of the power station, where it seemed like two Caucasian guards were dozing off. Long Ying's ghost-like shadow flashed, moving so fast that even an ordinary person couldn't capture it. He directly reached the area beneath the power station.
Crash!
No one saw how Long Ying made his move, but they saw a shadow flash, and Long Ying suddenly leaped up, smashing through the window of the power station guard room. His five fingers extended, and his hands swiftly and lightning-like strangled the throats of the two Caucasian guards who didn't even have time to react, strangling them to death like two chickens.
Treating it as an insignificant matter, Long Ying didn't even frown. He immediately bent down and searched the two lifeless guards, finding an access card.
Excellent!
A faint smile appeared on Long Ying's stern face as he stood by the window of the power station guard room, making a gesture.
The battle personnel hidden behind the rocks immediately relaxed and boldly emerged, quickly gathering near the back door leading to the base's experimental area. Excitement filled their eyes.
This operation went very smoothly. As long as they opened this door, they could silently infiltrate the interior of the base. It was foreseeable that with their calculated surprise attack, they would swiftly defeat the white security guards inside. The mission was already halfway successful! Despite feeling confident, Longying remained vigilant. He swiped the access card obtained from the guard.
Drip.
The steel door opened and revealed a bright passage.
Lin Kun's face was filled with excitement, unable to wait as he said, "Leader, follow this passage straight ahead, and you'll reach the most important experimental area of the entire base!"
Longying's tone turned serious and murderous as he issued a warning, "Don't let your guard down. No one should relax until the enemy is completely eliminated! Follow the operational plan!"
With that, he took the lead and walked into the passage. All the battle personnel followed closely, quickly rushing into the experimental area along the passage.
However, no one noticed that in a concealed corner near the electronic iron door, two surveillance cameras captured everything happening in this area.
...
A few minutes ago, inside the base's control room.
Two figures stood in front of the ** monitor. One was wearing military uniform, tall and valiant; the other was wearing a white lab coat, with a graceful figure. They were observing the actions of Dragon Eagle and his unexpected guests.
"Lynne, do you see them? They've arrived. I thought if they really survived the wilderness, it would take them some time before they dare to come knocking on our door. It happened even earlier than I expected."
Dirk turned around, his handsome face filled with tenderness, and whispered softly, "Are you happy? Soon, you'll be able to taste the delightful flavor of blood and revenge."
"Happy...?"
Beside Dirk, the graceful figure slowly turned her head, revealing a terrifying female face covered in wrinkles and patterns as if covered in chicken skin. She spoke in a hoarse and unpleasant voice, resembling that of an owl at night.
"Without 416, how could I be happy? Even now, my throat still aches. No matter how much I bathe in the blood of these people, it can't wash away the pain I've endured."
This graceful figure with a face that embodied both beauty and ugliness gently moved her slender fingers. Sharp claws appeared on her fingertips, and her lips, coated with red lipstick, emitted a chilling murmur.
"It's a pity 416 doesn't know what's good for him. Let's use them to alleviate my pain and emptiness..."
This graceful figure, whose appearance and demeanor resembled that of an old woman, was none other than Catherine, who had her throat slit by Chen Chong. Now, Catherine not only experienced significant changes in her appearance but also exuded a sick, ferocious, and neurotic temperament. Even Dirk, who was extraordinary himself, seemed less terrifying compared to her.
Then, as Dragon Eagle and his team forcefully rushed into the empty experimental area where most of the instruments had been removed, Catherine looked at another screen. She burst into a eerie and unpleasant laughter, then pressed a button with her finger.
In the next moment, thick smoke billowed from the ceiling of the entire experimental area, covering most of it in the blink of an eye, engulfing Dragon Eagle and his team and blocking all surveillance screens!
Seeing this scene, Dirk gently held back Lynne's waist, seemingly unconcerned about her terrifying appearance, and smiled, "Lynne, there's someone who seems difficult to deal with. I'll take care of him. I hope you have fun."
