Artificial Giant Beast

After glancing at the office building a few more times, Zhen Biao gestured for Luo Yan to follow him.

The two left the building and walked through the shadows until they came to a wide, quiet street where there was no one.

Luo Yan cautiously scanned his surroundings with his ' Eye of True Suchness ' to confirm that there were no bioluminescent orbs nearby.

At this moment, Shen Biao opened a sewer manhole cover and climbed down the vertical ladder in the manhole.

After Luo Yan arrived in the sewers, Shen Biao said, "Chu Zhao's office building used to be the base's Command Center. The basement and the sewer network were connected for emergency evacuation."

"We can use this to infiltrate the building."

Before setting off, the corps had already obtained the structural map of the town.

Of course, this was before the Chu Family reformed it.

However, in order to avoid suspicion, the Chu Family kept the town virtually unchanged on the surface.

The fact that the sewer network is still intact is proof.

After walking for a while, the two arrived near a large gate.

An electronic eye was scanning back and forth on the gate. Shen Biao pressed the Bluetooth headset on his ear. "How's it going on your end?"

A voice chuckled in the earpiece, then said, "It's all taken care of, boss."

Shen Biao nodded and said to Luo Yan, "Alright, our people have taken over the town's surveillance system."

"Walk."

He walked towards the gate first, saying as he went, "After I go in, I'll go find Chu Zhao's family and try to get them under control."

"Go to his office and see if you can find any clues."

Shen Biao took a tactical waist pack and handed it to Luo Yan: "There are all sorts of tools inside. You know how to use them, right?"

Luo Yan opened his fanny pack and took a look.

There's quite a lot inside.

Smart unlockers, readers, jammers, etc.

The Academy has special courses to teach students how to use these instruments, so Luo Yan nodded.

Shen Biao then took out something that looked like a USB flash drive.

"Chu Zhao's computer is definitely encrypted, and there must be a lot of files and data inside."

"Put this into the port, and our people will be responsible for breaking through the computer firewall and taking what we want."

Luo Yan took it and put it away carefully.

By this time, they had already entered the building.

There were naturally guards in the building as well. Luo Yan used the ' Eye of True Suchness ' to locate them and told Shen Biao.

The two then went their separate ways.

Luo Yan used the emergency exit to reach the top floor, where two guards stood outside Chu Zhao's office.

Luo Yan didn't barge in directly; instead, he found a restroom and climbed up the ventilation duct.

A moment later, it peeked half its head down from the top of Chu Zhao's office.

After looking around, Luo Yan silently landed on the thick carpet.

Although the surveillance cameras here are still operational, they have been taken over by the military corps, and the guards in the security room will only see an empty scene.

Luo Yan cautiously walked along the wall, and crept to Chu Zhao's desk in the shadows.

Upon turning on the computer, a window immediately pops up on the screen, prompting for a password.

Luo Yan inserted the USB drive into the port, and the indicator on the USB drive began to flash.

The corps' electronics engineer operated remotely, and soon, a password was automatically filled in at that window.

The window then closes.

Then folders started opening one by one on the screen, and some files were automatically moved to other folders.

For a time, Luo Yan was no longer involved.

Luo Yan looked around and was drawn to some documents on the table.

"Research Report Specimen Zero..."

"Artificial Giant Beast... Chaos..."

"A biological weapon cultivated from the corpse of a giant beast..."

Looking at the information in the report, Luo Yan's breathing gradually became heavy.

Then, he picked up a document.

This is a photocopy with a photograph on it.

The photo shows a huge culture tank with researchers adjusting the equipment. The people standing in front of the tank look as tiny as ants.

Right there in the culture tank, Luo Yan saw a dark shadow.

That shadow almost filled the entire space of the culture tank!

Artificial Giant Beast!

Luo Yan immediately photographed the documents and sent them to Shen Biao.

A moment later.

Shen Biao's voice came through Luo Yan's earpiece. "Chu Zhao isn't in the building, but I found a private elevator here; it should lead to the underground research base."

"Come and meet me, we'll go together."

Luo Yan glanced at the computer; perfect timing, all the files had been copied.

After removing the USB drive, Luo Yan left via the same route.

Before long, he met up with Shen Biao.

The two entered the elevator, Shen Biao pressed the button for the basement level.

He continued.

"The situation is more serious than we thought."

"We originally thought that Chu Zhao would at most manufacture some biological weapons here."

"I never expected him to create such a gigantic beast."

"This is definitely not something that can be done in a day or two."

"They probably already had this kind of research done before the ' Giant Beast Calamity ' even started."

Luo Yan glanced at him. In other words, the ' Giant Beast Calamity ' actually made it easier for the Chu Family to research Artificial Giant Beast.

Shen Biao continued, "I've already prepared a squadron of mechs for sortie."

"If Chu Zhao goes mad and releases the giant beast, we'll try our best to destroy it here!"

Luo Yan nodded.

At this moment, Shen Biao frowned again.

"This is troublesome."

"The engineering department said the signal underground is too weak, and they can't control the electronic equipment in the underground base."

Luo Yan tightened his grip on the ' Star Splitter '.

Shen Biao said, "I'll send the ground troops to draw the Chu Family's attention."

"Dispersing the manpower in the underground base will buy us time and space."

"Once we enter the base, we must subdue Chu Zhao as quickly as possible. If we cannot subdue him, then kill him. We absolutely cannot allow him to escape from here again!"

Luo Yan wholeheartedly supported this decision.

Shen Biao quickly issued the order.

At this moment.

They have reached the basement level.

Ugh--

A gust of wind blew by, making the hair of a small town guard flutter.

He looked up at the night sky.

All I could see was a sky full of stars.

But in the Stars Dotting night sky, a few stars stood out exceptionally bright.

A few seconds later.

He noticed that the stars were getting brighter and brighter.

The next moment.

He jumped up, grabbed the walkie-talkie beside him, and yelled, "Attack!"

"Attack!"

"It's a missile!"

His voice was quickly drowned out by the roar of the missiles.

Several tactical missiles landed in different locations in the town, causing earth-shattering explosions.

Several enormous fireballs rose into the sky in the darkness, and in the firelight, large swathes of buildings could be seen being blown away like building blocks.

Shockwave oscillated and intertwined.

Even those not located in the epicenter were blown away by the gale and thrown into the distance, screaming.

Immediately afterwards, more fireballs rose up in the town. Although the explosive power was not as great as the first wave of missiles, the fire from the tank main guns was both numerous and covered a wide area.

In the blink of an eye, they crippled the town's ground military system.

When the power plant on the surface exploded and caught fire, the underground base suddenly went dark, then red lights came on, and alarms blared throughout the base.
