Inside the Base

Inside the base, Qin Hao surveyed his surroundings as he moved forward. Though it was merely a base built into a mountain, he had to admit that the Japanese were quite good at enjoying themselves. The architecture largely matched the style of their buildings from his previous life, with an emphasis on facilities, and no shortage of entertainment venues. They had clearly been building this place as if it were their own home.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Streaks of cold light shot directly at Qin Hao—darts, throwing knives, kunai, all kinds of hidden weapons glinting with icy light. Some even carried faint blue or purple hues, clearly indicating poison.

After Qin Hao dodged the hidden weapons, a series of faint gunshots rang out in the distance. Bullets tore through the air, all of them powerful armor-piercing rounds.

However, anyone who thought these could pose a threat to Qin Hao had clearly underestimated him. After evading them, he swiftly darted between the buildings, using them for cover as he advanced rapidly toward the source of the attacks.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Amid repeated battle cries, Japanese men wearing black ninja outfits or samurai uniforms beneath their armor appeared all around him and charged at Qin Hao.

Qin Hao paid no heed to the incoming attacks. His figure flowed as his saber swung, swiftly harvesting every person who entered his attack range. He had never held the slightest favorable impression of the Japanese.

Nor did he show any mercy. Whether in his previous life or this one, Qin Hao believed that only dead Japanese were good Japanese.

The strength of a peak Intermediate War God, Perfect level movement technique, Perfect Saber Technique, and 3.5 times Force Generation were all unleashed to the fullest. The Japanese around him were cut down like melons and vegetables, rapidly harvested by Qin Hao.

Most of these Japanese were warriors, and quite a few were even Warlords. Under normal circumstances, they could deal with an ordinary War God. If enough ants bit an elephant, even a War God could potentially be brought down.

But unfortunately for them, they had encountered Qin Hao. Every aspect of Qin Hao's abilities ranked among the upper levels of War Gods. It was far beyond anything numbers alone could make up for.

Qin Hao's strength quickly filled the Japanese rushing toward him with fear, yet not a single one fled. Instead, their eyes brimmed with madness.

"Prepare for a suicide attack!" At the shout, the madness in every Japanese man's eyes intensified. Each of them pulled out a vial of medicine and poured it straight down their throats. Amid crazed roars, their eyes turned bloodshot and their bodies began to swell.

Watching their actions, Qin Hao recalled the Japanese men he had eliminated earlier. They had used the same medicine and displayed the same madness.

"But this is still far from enough." Qin Hao remained utterly at ease against the crazed Japanese. His killing speed did not slow in the slightest. Even the most troublesome Advanced Warlords had no ability to resist before him.

These warriors and Warlords possessed a certain degree of strength, but most had been elevated through Genetic Serum. Their foundations were mediocre to begin with, and even if their strength had reached the required level, their other aspects were barely passable. With the serum's boost, their strength increased, but their weaknesses became even more obvious.

Even when Advanced Warlords reached the level of War Gods under the serum's effects, only their strength and speed had improved. In Qin Hao's eyes, they were nothing more than flashy posturing.

"They really are willing to spend." As the battle continued, Qin Hao realized that these people, along with the earlier monsters, had merely been buying time.

It seems this base holds even more secrets. I can't let these Japanese have their way. As he thought this, Qin Hao's attack speed abruptly increased. After swiftly clearing out the Japanese around him, he pushed off the ground and leaped straight onto a rooftop. He raced across the roofs, rapidly heading deeper into the base.

Seeing Qin Hao vanish from where he stood, the already crazed Japanese frantically pursued him, smashing through the surrounding buildings. But they could never match a War God's speed. Before long, Qin Hao disappeared from their sight.

Having lost their target, the Japanese still had madness in their eyes and began attacking one another.

Qin Hao advanced swiftly and soon left the residential area, arriving before a massive door. The technologically styled door was thick and tightly sealed, forged entirely from metal. Even the surrounding mountain had been poured into its structure.

Yet although it was as impenetrable as a wall of copper and iron, it did not stop Qin Hao. He slashed out with his saber, unleashing the power of his SS-class equipment and cleaving the door open.

Beyond the door was a massive factory. Looking up, Qin Hao found that the facility stretched almost beyond sight, far larger than the mountain outside appeared to be.

Though he did not recognize the equipment within the factory, its precision and complexity made it clear that it was anything but ordinary. Even now, some production lines were still operating without pause.

After scanning the factory's layout, Qin Hao gained a rough understanding of its condition. The factory was divided into four sections, producing firearms, Genetic Serum, Combat Suits, and experimental equipment respectively. Beyond those, he could even see production lines for daily necessities, though they occupied only a small area.

From this equipment alone, it was clear that the Japanese had been operating in this base for quite some time. With its complete production facilities and stockpiles of materials, it was not much weaker than a Base City like Yangzhou.

"It seems this base is far more important than I imagined." Qin Hao quickened his pace, passing through the factory area and heading deeper into the base.

As Qin Hao pressed onward, the Japanese within the base were completely stunned.

"Who exactly is this kid? How can he possess such terrifying strength? The entire guard squad was deployed, yet they still failed to stop him."

"Sir, he has breached the upper defenses and entered the core area."

"Notify Lord Yanagawa immediately. Activate the emergency plan. The base is vital to rebuilding the empire. There can be no mistakes."

Orders were relayed continuously, and every defensive system in the core base was activated. However, Qin Hao knew nothing of this—and even if he did, he would not retreat.

After passing through the factory production area, Qin Hao entered a new level. The environment changed once more. It was a pure white space, with rooms lining both sides of the corridor. Through the glass, they looked very similar to the laboratories on the upper level.

However, the laboratories on this floor were filled with all sorts of bottles and jars, while the experiment tables held every kind of reagent.
