Chapter 214

"Hello, I have successfully completed the delaying task assigned by Doctor Zhong. If you do not wish to cross here, you can detour through the street next to it."

Upon hearing this, ACE's expression stiffened slightly, revealing the same complex look that Scout had shown before.

You call this procrastination?

"I remember now!"

The Bio-soldier racked his brains for a long time, only finding a clue when Mudrock and Xi came to him. He released his hand from his temple and looked up to explain to the Messenger:

"That laboratory is located in a military camp, and the surrounding area is heavily guarded. If it's just the few of you, it's best not to try to force your way in. There are at least 10,000 or 20,000 people in the camp; going there like that would be tantamount to suicide."

Lappland snorted coldly upon hearing this. She had initially intended to intimidate him by mentioning Shi Lei's Jade Shield, but then decided it was unnecessary and turned her gaze away, fixing it on him.

"Just lead the way, nothing else is your concern."

"All right..."

Seeing the Bio-soldier stand up, Exusiai proactively showed him the musket in her hand:

"Aren't you eager to die? No problem. Once we find that biological lab, I'll personally send you on your way without anyone else needing to lift a finger."

The Bio-soldier said nothing more and headed back to the military camp in Yarbing along the same route they had come from.

As he passed the commander's body, he didn't forget to pick up the fallen helmet. He reached in and ripped the wires inside to shreds before putting it on his head.

It takes about twenty minutes to get from the snowy road to the military camp. How embarrassing would it be if I were recognized by an acquaintance along the way?

Seeing this, no one said anything. They figured that a Bio-soldier couldn't possibly pull off any tricks.

As everyone passed through the central square, their eyes were drawn to a colossal Stone Statues, forty or fifty meters tall. The Stone Statues depicted a middle-aged Ursus man in military uniform, facing north and giving a military salute.

Before Shi Lei Croissant asked first:

"Hey, who is this person?"

"I'm not called 'Hey,' I have a name."

The Bio-soldier wanted to explain, but then remembered that his death was imminent, so he didn't reveal his name.

"Call me whatever you like, it doesn't matter. The person carved in this Stone Statues is Marquis Andrei, the master of this small mobile town."

He's the brother of the research director of the Seventh Group Army; you guys better watch out later.

Exusiai other hand, felt that these were all minor issues:

"Don't bother with this kind of megalomaniac."

"Huh? I don't understand what you mean?"

"Who would build a memorial Stone Statues for themselves while they're still alive? Does that even need explaining?"

Sending out an advance force of over six hundred men, thinking they can swallow up the entire Rhodes Island —how arrogant!

After jogging for more than ten minutes, everyone arrived at the Marquis's mansion in the northwest. Nearly one-eighth of the city area here was Andrei's private territory.

The military camp and biological laboratories are both located here.

"We're here, right here."

Through the iron fence, the group discovered that there were approximately ten thousand soldiers gathering inside the camp. Judging from the scale of the formation, they estimated it to be reinforcements heading to the checkpoint.

The area was packed with people, and the biology lab was nowhere to be seen; it must be further inside.

Seeing that Shi Lei was about to make a move, Lappland quickly stopped him, saying with a forced smile:

"No, wait a minute. If we solve all this, how are we supposed to play?"

Large numbers of Ursus soldiers stood in neat rows, ready to depart from the military camp.

This reminded Shi Lei of a Tetris puzzle with a missing row, which he had to poke into with a long stick:

"No, that would be too much of a waste of time. I'll handle the ground troops; the rest are up to you."

He rejected Lappland's proposal and crossed his arms. In an instant, a giant boulder, two or three kilometers in diameter, appeared out of thin air on the horizon, obscuring a large portion of the sky.

Bring it on.

The Vortex of Heavenly Revelation!

Ten minutes ago.

Upon learning that local forces in Yarbing intended to harm the This Ship, Rhodes Island quickly organized its Operator. Within minutes, they captured the border checkpoint responsible for customs clearance.

Don't underestimate them just because they are few in number; they are all elites.

Once all six squads of Operator have arrived, the This Ship can be started and we can leave this place.

Amiya and Warfarin's medical team were the first to return. She looked anxious, pacing back and forth at the gate, waiting for a long time without seeing anyone.

He then picked up the Walkie-Talkie and switched to the dedicated channel:

"Guard Team One, this is Amiya. How are you all doing? Please respond!"

"Roger that, this is Scout. We are returning to the border checkpoint and are expected to arrive in two minutes."

Upon hearing this, Amiya sincerely exclaimed:

"Mr. Scout, it's so good to hear from you. I thought something bad had happened."

"..."

"By the way, did you encounter enemy troops on your En route back? The Second Escort Team and the Special Operations Team are blocking our way halfway, buying us time. If they fall into danger, we need to return to their aid in time."

"Enemy..."

Scout, recalling the scene he had just witnessed, swallowed hard and continued:

"Amiya, the enemy has been completely annihilated."

"Huh???"

Not only Amiya, but even the reserve team captain, Huang, standing to the side, was equally astonished:

"Didn't you say that the enemy has two groups totaling six or seven hundred men, heading towards the border checkpoint? How could so many people be completely wiped out?"

"I know you don't believe me. To be honest, I don't believe it either. But this is..."

Seeing it with my own eyes, no matter how unbelievable, it was the truth. The Special Operations Team's Messenger and medical assistant wiped out both teams.

"Huh???"

Amiya and the Operator around her were taken aback upon hearing this.

With the combined strength of six people, they annihilated six or seven hundred people.

It seems that every member of the Special Operations Team possesses the terrifying ability to take on a hundred enemies single-handedly. Looking across the entire Rhodes Island, only a handful of people can do that.

"Mr. Scout, how long until they arrive at our This Ship? Are any of them injured? Do they need medical assistance? I'd like to make arrangements in advance."

During the conversation, the first and second guard teams escorted the two medical teams to the border checkpoint.

Amiya quickly went to meet her and repeated the question she had just asked on the Walkie-Talkie.

Scout turned around and saw that there was no one behind him.

"They're still Rearguard, they should be here soon. Should we ask them over the Walkie-Talkie?"

Amiya had just switched the Walkie-Talkie channel when she suddenly heard the Operator next to her exclaim in surprise:

"Look over there!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a Catastrophe Meteorite appear in the sky to the northwest of the city. It was so large that they could see it clearly even from several kilometers away.

Not only at the border checkpoint, but also throughout Yarbing, people with good visibility witnessed this horrifying scene.

"What... what is that?"

Is Catastrophe about to befall this city?

"Is it too late to run now?"

The Rhodes Island Operator stared blankly into the distance, just like the panicked citizens of the entire city.

They witnessed the entire meteorite fall and soon heard the deafening roar!

"Boom..."

The sound reached their ears first, followed by the earth's mournful cry and violent tremors!

The tremor lasted for more than ten seconds before it disappeared.

Amiya, her expression grave, found the Catastrophe Messenger among the reserve troops and approached him to inquire:

"How could Catastrophe happen in Yarbing? Did you detect anything unusual beforehand?"

"No, Amiya. I can guarantee that there are no signs of Cataclysmic Clouds within a radius of several dozen kilometers."

Amiya, worried about Zhongli and the others' safety as they had not yet returned, asked through the Walkie-Talkie:

"This is Amiya. Members of the Special Operations Team, please respond!"

Soon, a calm voice rang out:

"I am Zhongli, what can I do for you?"

"Did you see the Catastrophe Meteorite that just fell northwest of Yarbing?"

Shi Lei remained silent, because he was the one who had lost the meteorite, and he was currently trying to figure out how to explain it.

"..."

Hearing that there was no sound from the other end, Amiya became very anxious and asked with concern:

"Doctor Zhong, are any of your team members injured? I can send two teams to reinforce you immediately."

"No need, thank you for your kindness. Thanks to the Catastrophe Meteorite, all the enemy troops stationed here are dead."

"Huh??? Then, Doctor Zhong, where are you? How long until you're back?"

"It should be about half an hour from now. We just discovered a military biological laboratory that was conducting illegal human experiments, and we're currently attacking it. We'll meet up at the border checkpoint once things are settled here."

Hearing that they had just survived Catastrophe and were now attacking a biological laboratory, Amiya became somewhat anxious:

"No, this is too dangerous! Doctor Zhong, where are you? I'll bring people over right away!"

"We've just entered the underground area, and the signal seems to be weak. Hello? What were you saying?"

"Hello, Doctor Zhong, can you hear me?"

Amiya pressed for an answer, but there was no response on the Walkie-Talkie. After several unsuccessful attempts, she quickly went to the still-standing guard squads one and two:

"Mr. Ace, Mr. Scout, the Special Operations Team is in trouble and needs our help. All we can confirm at the moment is that they are near the Catastrophe Meteorite. You two take a break, we'll head out to assist immediately."

Upon hearing this, a fleeting glint of surprise crossed Scout's eyes. The special operations team is all so capable; why would they need our reinforcements?

Amiya is the official leader of Rhodes Island, and as a subordinate, she would certainly have to carry out orders unless Doctor Kal'tsit vetoed her.

Yarbing, in the northwest.

Beneath the military camp lies a hidden biological laboratory. Each intersection is heavily guarded, with additional sentries and traps, making the defenses extremely tight.

This underground fortress, which boasted it could withstand the Inner Guards, crumbled before the special operations team.

The heavy mechanical door was suddenly breached, leaving a large hole. The Heavy Flame Soldier at the end of the narrow corridor were easily overrun. Inside the laboratory, only screams of agony could be heard. Countless soldiers and scientists lay dead in pools of blood.

Hearing Amiya repeatedly asking questions on the Walkie-Talkie, Shi Lei pretended there was no signal and gave up on the conversation.

He carefully recalled the conversation and realized that one sentence had given away the location, so he called out:

"Stop dawdling, get to it. Reinforcements will arrive in thirty minutes. Crush them."
