They fell into an ambush!
After Catherine pressed the button, the group of people from Dawn's Gathering, who had just rushed into the experimental hall through the winding passage, realized that something was wrong when they saw the thick smoke rolling down from above, causing their expressions to change immediately.
"Cough! Cough!"
"There's an ambush!"
"Retreat, everyone retreat immediately!"
The intense and suffocating smoke instantly enveloped them, making it difficult to see their own fingers. The people around were coughing loudly, and chaos ensued. Under this sudden change, Dragon Eagle was both shocked and angry. How could he not know that they had walked right into a trap that had long been set up?
In fact, when they crossed the meandering passage and entered the experimental hall, Longying had already vaguely sensed that something was off. The entire hall was empty, not just of people, but even the instruments were few. It seemed like they had been transferred elsewhere, specifically leaving the experimental area as bait and a trap.
However, just as he issued a warning to retreat, the ceiling emitted a large amount of smoke, and all electronic access doors were sealed off. Because they were slightly slow, their vision was now filled with choking smoke, making it impossible to discern directions and missing the opportunity to retreat immediately.
"Leader, leader, where are you!"
"Hurry up! Find the way we came in!"
"Be careful of enemy ambushes!"
Amidst the thick smoke, figures collided. Although this smoke had limited effect on Longying, who was an extraordinary being with heightened senses, most of his subordinates were ordinary people, and they became chaotic in this sudden change.
Step, step, step... At the same time as the dense smoke engulfed them, a large number of footsteps rapidly approached. Soon after, the sounds of glass shattering and some kind of projectiles landing resounded simultaneously.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Several consecutive loud explosions caused fierce flames to burst out in the midst of the dense smoke. The smoke and air were torn apart instantly, and the scorching waves, accompanied by countless sharp fragments, shot in all directions.
"It's **!"
"Ah! Ah!"
In that instant, the members of the team within the thick smoke suffered heavy casualties. Five or six people were killed instantly, while three awakened individuals were severely injured. Even Dragon Eagle, as an extraordinary being, was caught off guard by the flying shrapnel in the thick smoke and received several deep, bone-exposed wounds on his body.
The attack was not over yet. Along with the explosion, a barrage of gunfire erupted from the corridor outside the experimental hall, causing numerous ** to pierce through the smoke like water, once again plunging the Dawn team, shrouded in smoke, into continuous screams and roars of agony.
"You, die!"
Amidst the dense gunshots and the screams of his subordinates, Dragon Eagle's eyes were filled with rage. Like an enraged lion, he shouted loudly and his figure stirred up a strong wind as he pounced towards the direction from which the ** came.
Whoosh!
Amidst the howling wind, Dragon Eagle rushed out from the rolling smoke of the experimental hall, appearing lightning-fast on the corridor outside. He immediately spotted a group of well-equipped soldiers, the armed squad under Dirk.
In his extreme fury, Dragon Eagle truly revealed his inhuman strength. His body collided head-on, and the force was so powerful that the leading soldier's tendons snapped and bones shattered, flipping him over as if hit by a car. Dragon Eagle appeared like a phantom in front of these white soldiers, extending his arm and grabbing. Five blood holes appeared directly in their chests and throats, instantly killing them. Without any hesitation, Dragon Eagle's movements were as swift as thunder, and one well-equipped soldier after another couldn't even see his actions clearly. They didn't even have a chance to counterattack before they were instantly killed!
The sound of flesh tearing kept resounding as the soldiers and guards in the corridor fell one after another under Dragon Eagle's hands.
"It seems like you're the leader among these people?"
However, a sudden voice rang out just as Dragon Eagle broke the neck of the ninth soldier with his fist. His figure, dominating in its slaughter, abruptly halted. In the explosion of air, he immediately sensed the intense threat carrying a howling gust of evil wind coming fiercely towards his back!
"Do you think you can deceive me?"
In a split second, Dragon Eagle turned around resolutely. Veins bulged on his arm as he shook it like a whip, without even looking, lashing backward.
Boom!
His fist clashed with another, and a fierce gust of wind blew in all directions. Dragon Eagle felt the opponent's strength, which was equally matched with his own, causing him to involuntarily take a few big steps back. The attacker relentlessly pursued, stepping forward continuously, leaving vague footprints on the steel corridor. They relentlessly launched a furious attack against Dragon Eagle.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of rapid explosions of qi erupted. Despite the disparity in strength, Dragon Eagle, who had been caught off guard by the assailant who had taken the initiative, involuntarily retreated repeatedly, moving away from the experimental area and his heavily wounded subordinates.
At the same time, hurried footsteps, sneers, and gunfire continued to ring out in the experimental area. Dragon Eagle saw a large number of guards continuously appearing in the corridor, surrounding the experimental area and madly shooting inside. However, although Dragon Eagle was anxious, he couldn't break through the blockade of the white youth standing in front of him, no matter how he maneuvered.
Dragon Eagle's face turned livid. He knew that the opponent in front of him must be the strongest individual in the base as mentioned by Lin Kun, reaching the same level as an extraordinary being - Deris!
"At a time like this, you still have the leisure to care about others?"
Forcing Dragon Eagle back once again as he tried to cross, Deris blocked him in the middle of the steel corridor, sneering and laughing:
"Don't worry, soon you'll be joining them!"
...
Behind the base, in the dark underground river channel.
Under the scattered lights of the hydroelectric power station, after careful observation, Chen Chong's tall figure flickered out from the darkness like an agile cheetah, arriving at the large gate leading to the internal experimental area of the base.
The electronic iron gate was tightly closed at the moment, causing Chen Chong to furrow his brows slightly.
"Something's not right."
Chen Chong's nostrils twitched, vaguely catching a whiff of a pungent smell of smoke coming from behind the door.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
At this moment, it seemed that there were successive ** inside the base. The muffled roar resounded from behind the door, and with the transmission of mediums, Chen Chong immediately felt a slight vibration under his feet.
"It seems like the battle is intense!"
Not wanting to waste any more time, Chen Chong chuckled fearlessly. The next moment, he took a deep breath, his strong chest slightly swelling, the muscles on his right arm flexing. Then, he stepped forward, bent down, and threw a punch!
Clang!
Between the impact of the iron fist and the iron door, a deafening clash of metal rang out, reverberating throughout the entire cave. Under Chen Chong's pure violence, the rock wall in front of him trembled violently, countless stone fragments and dust showering down. The electronic iron door twisted and deformed upon contact with Chen Chong's iron fist, then collapsed with a loud crash!
After the iron door collapsed, in Chen Chong's line of sight, dense smoke filled the passage, and there were continuous intense gunshots and screams coming from deeper inside.
"Have they been ambushed?"
Seeing the pervasive smoke everywhere, Chen Chong had his suspicions and a grim smile appeared on his lips.
"Deris... Are you waiting for me?"
