In front of Warehouse No. 2 at the large German base.
Nearly a hundred German soldiers, armed with finely made German rifles, surrounded the open space before the warehouse with grim expressions. The commotion also drew in more patrolling soldiers.
"Unable to establish contact with Officer Leo. I repeat, the radio cannot establish contact with Officer Leo."
"Sir, should we force our way into the warehouse and search it?"
"Of course! There may only be one enemy. This is our territory; there's no reason to fear him. But be careful. The warehouse is full of flammable, dangerous ammunition supplies. Don't let your weapons go off. If you see the enemy, suppress him with bayonets first."
After speaking, the officer in charge of the base patrols waved his hand, signaling for the two soldiers pressed against the warehouse doors to open them.
The warehouse doors were slowly pushed open by the soldiers. It was pitch-black inside. Several patrol squads swiftly entered with guns in hand, the lights on their helmets casting beams into the darkness as they swept left, right, above, and below.
Taptaptap—
Hearing the dense, rapid footsteps from upstairs, Kyle knew the enemy soldiers had already entered the armory. He happened to finish extracting the last Energy Block from the crate into a card.
A full twenty-five Energy Blocks—twenty-five Blue Item Cards—were now in his possession.
"Then it's time to break out." Unhurried, Kyle glanced at the enemy commander, who had already turned into a pile of mangled flesh, then turned the Vicious Dog beside him, panting with its tongue out, back into a card.
It was not suited for what came next.
However, most Creature Cards could be recycled, except for special ones like the Poisonous Wasp Nest. This greatly increased the practical value of Creature Cards.
"I wonder what Creature Cards above green quality would be like. Could I draw monsters from another world—cards like King Kong or Godzilla?"
The absurd thought only flashed through Kyle's mind before he cast it aside, leaving the basement to prepare for his breakout. He had no idea that it would become reality in the near future.
By then, the large number of German soldiers had already searched the upper level of Warehouse No. 2 and turned their attention to the final basement passage.
"Throw a Smoke Bomb in."
One soldier held a prepared Smoke Bomb in his hand, while another placed his hand on the hidden basement door.
Just as they opened the basement door and were about to toss the Smoke Bomb inside, a cloud of black mist surged out from the basement first, causing the activated Smoke Bomb to fall outside the basement.
"Cough, cough. What the hell is this?"
One of the German soldiers coughed as he aimed his light at the black mist. When the patrol squads saw what was actually before them, they all sucked in a breath, their scalps tingling as their faces turned deathly pale with terror.
That clearly was not black mist, but hundreds of dark brown wasps. Each was more than half again as large as a marble, densely clustered together.
"Wasps! There are poisonous wasps inside!"
"My God! Run! Get out of here!"
The German soldiers inside the warehouse rushed out in terror, hoping they had not disturbed them. But after the Poisonous Wasps left the basement, they seemed organized and purposeful as they frantically chased after the soldiers, using their stingers to attack the unprotected faces of the men.
In only an instant, dozens of soldiers fled from the warehouse in defeat. Many who had been stung by the wasps fell to the ground in agony, clutching their faces as they wailed and rolled around.
Kyle emerged from the basement behind the swarm. Seeing the scene before him, even he muttered in unexpected surprise, "It's only a green rare Creature Card, yet it's really this powerful."
"But the raid time for the mission is up. I don't have time to play with you. I need to get out of here as soon as possible."
Ignoring the German soldiers, Kyle gripped the Nepalese Kukri and swiftly vanished into the darkness.
Stealth activated.
In Nightcrawler state, Kyle took advantage of the massive chaos inside and outside the warehouse, nimbly weaving between the wasps and soldiers as he began returning to where the military vehicle had been parked.
Because Warehouse No. 2, located in the center of the base, had become such a lively scene, there were not many patrol squads in the parking lot on the outskirts of the base.
Kyle sprinted in stealth without obstruction and easily returned to the military vehicle he had seized from the enemy.
He opened the iron door of the truck bed. Seeing only six corpses inside, he hurriedly jumped into the back. Only when he found the girl asleep in the wooden crate did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Stop sleeping. Get up. I'm taking you out of here!" Kyle stepped forward and gave her a shove, but not only did the girl fail to wake, her frail body went completely limp.
Dead?
Kyle placed a finger beneath the girl's nose and could still feel faint breathing, proving that she had not stopped breathing. She had merely passed out from weakness.
But bringing along an unconscious wounded person in this situation would multiply the danger.
Kyle hesitated for only a moment before gritting his teeth. "You're lucky you ran into me. Since I said I'd take you out of here, then—"
He sprang into action, carrying the girl on his back and using a rope he found nearby to securely tie her to him. Her body was soft and limp, like a large, high-quality cotton quilt.
"This doesn't even weigh as much as a package."
Kyle grumbled as he carried the girl, turning to leave the blood-soaked truck bed.
But just as he reached the edge of the truck bed, he swiftly retreated and shut the iron door behind him—
Rat-a-tat-tat!!!
The next instant, the iron door at the back of the vehicle was riddled with dense gunfire!
Pressing against the iron wall of the truck bed, Kyle frowned deeply. There were actually three or four patrol squads outside the vehicle. The German army truly lived up to its combat standards.
"I can't get trapped here and die!" Kyle thought as he quickly lifted one of the corpses inside the vehicle. He kicked the iron door halfway open, then forcefully hurled the corpse in his hands outside.
Rat-a-tat-tat!
Mistaking the corpse for an escaping enemy, the German soldiers immediately unleashed fierce gunfire. The body was blasted into mangled flesh and shattered bones in midair.
That was only the beginning.
Soon, the second corpse was thrown out, and the German gunfire concentrated on it once again.
As if not giving the German soldiers a chance to reload, the third corpse was thrown out right after it!
This time, the bullets striking the corpse were visibly reduced by more than half. Just as it was about to hit the ground, a figure suddenly dashed from behind the corpse and fled in the opposite direction!
It was Kyle!
He had used the first two corpses to deplete the enemy's ammunition, then used the third corpse as a shield and decoy, successfully creating the brief opening when the gunfire went from intense to weak—the moment the enemy changed magazines!
