Chapter 17: A Thrilling Breakthrough

Outside the door of Warehouse No. 2 at a large German base.

Nearly a hundred German soldiers, armed with fine German-made rifles, stood with grim expressions on the open ground in front of the warehouse door. This commotion was also attracting more patrolling soldiers.

"Unable to contact Officer Leo. Repeat, unable to contact Officer Leo via walkie-talkie."

"Sir, should we force entry into the warehouse for a search?"

"Of course! The enemy is likely only one person. On our territory, there's no reason to fear him. But be careful, the warehouse is filled with flammable and high-risk ammunition. Don't let it go off. If you see the enemy, suppress them with bayonets first."

The officer in charge of base patrols finished speaking, waved his hand, and signaled the two soldiers closest to the warehouse door to open it.

The warehouse door was slowly pushed open by the soldiers. It was pitch black inside. Several patrol squads quickly entered with their weapons, their helmet-mounted lights casting beams into the darkness, sweeping left, right, up, and down.

Stomp, stomp, stomp—

Hearing the dense and frequent footsteps from above, Kyle knew that enemy soldiers had already breached the arsenal warehouse. He happened to be extracting the last energy cube from a box into a card.

A total of twenty-five energy cubes, meaning twenty-five blue Item Cards, were now in his possession.

"Alright, now it's time to break out." Kyle calmly glanced at the enemy commander, who had already turned into a pile of rotten flesh, and then converted the panting vicious dog beside him back into a card.

The situation ahead was not suitable for it.

However, most Creature Cards could be reused, except for special ones like the [Poisonous Wasp Nest]. This greatly increased the value of using Creature Cards.

"I wonder what Creature Cards of green quality or higher would be like. Could I draw monster cards like otherworldly beings, King Kong, or Godzilla?"

This amusing thought flashed through Kyle's mind for a moment before he quickly dismissed it and left the basement, preparing to break out. He didn't know that this would become a reality in the near future.

Meanwhile, a large number of German soldiers had finished searching the upper levels of Warehouse No. 2 and were now turning their attention to the final underground passage.

"Throw a smoke grenade in."

One soldier held a prepared smoke grenade in his hand, while another soldier placed his hand on the hidden entrance to the basement.

Just as they opened the basement door and were about to throw the smoke grenade down, a mass of black mist surged out from the basement first, causing the smoke grenade to fall outside the basement.

"Cough, cough, what the hell is this?"

One of the German soldiers coughed and aimed his flashlight at the black mist. When the patrol team clearly saw what was in front of them, their scalps tingled, and they gasped, their faces turning a pale shade of terror.

It was clearly not black mist, but hundreds of dark brown wasps, each about half again the size of a marble, densely packed together.

"Wasps! There are poisonous wasps inside!"

"My God! Run! Get out of here!"

The German soldiers inside the warehouse rushed out in panic, clinging to the faint hope that they hadn't disturbed them yet. But after leaving the basement, the poisonous wasps, as if organized and purposeful, madly chased after them, attacking the unprotected faces of the soldiers with their stingers.

In just a moment, dozens of soldiers were routed and fled out of the warehouse. Many soldiers who were stung by the wasps fell to the ground in agony, clutching their faces and writhing in pain.

Kyle emerged from the basement behind the swarm and, seeing this scene, murmured in surprise, "It's just a green rare Creature Card, and it's really this powerful."

"But the mission's surprise attack time is here. I don't have time to play with you all. I need to leave here as soon as possible."

Ignoring the German soldiers, Kyle gripped his Nepalese Kukri and quickly vanished into the darkness.

Stealth activated.

Kyle, in his Nightcrawler state, took advantage of the great chaos inside and outside the warehouse, skillfully weaving between the wasps and soldiers, and began to return to the area where the military vehicles had been parked.

Due to the commotion at Warehouse No. 2, which was in the center of the base, the parking lot on the outer edge of the base had very few patrol teams.

Kyle moved unimpeded, sprinting stealthily, and easily returned to the military vehicle he had seized from the enemy.

He opened the rear cargo door of the vehicle and saw only six corpses inside. He quickly jumped into the rear cargo area. When he found the girl sleeping in the wooden crate, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Stop sleeping. Get up quickly, I'll take you out of here!" Kyle stepped forward and nudged her, but the girl didn't wake up. Instead, her frail body completely collapsed.

Dead?

Kyle extended his fingers to the girl's nostrils. He could still feel a faint breath, proving she wasn't dead yet, just weakly unconscious.

But taking an unconscious injured person in this condition would double the danger.

Kyle hesitated for only a moment before finally gritting his teeth, "You're lucky to have run into me. Since I promised to take you out, then—"

He acted, slinging the girl over his back and using rope found nearby to tie her securely to his back. The girl's body was soft and limp, like a high-quality thick quilt.

"This weight is less than a package."

Kyle muttered as he carried the girl, then turned away from the blood-soaked rear cargo area of the vehicle.

But as soon as he reached the edge of the rear cargo area, he quickly retreated and closed the iron door of the vehicle—

Rat-tat-tat!!!

The next moment, the iron door of the rear cargo area was riddled with bullets!

Kyle, pressed against the iron wall of the rear cargo area, frowned. There were three or four patrol squads outside the vehicle. Their combat effectiveness was indeed worthy of the German Army.

"I can't be trapped here!" Kyle thought, quickly picking up a corpse from inside the vehicle. He kicked the iron door half open with his foot and then forcefully threw the corpse in his hands out.

Rat-tat-tat!

Mistaking the corpse for an escaping enemy, the German soldiers immediately unleashed a fierce barrage of gunfire. The corpse was blown into bloody fragments in mid-air.

This was just the beginning.

Soon, the second body was thrown out, and the German Army's gunfire concentrated on it again.

As if to give the German Army soldiers no chance to reload, the third body was thrown out immediately after!

This time, the bullets hitting the body were significantly reduced. The moment the body was about to hit the ground, a figure suddenly dashed away in the opposite direction from behind the body!

It was Kyle!

He used the first two bodies to deplete the enemy's ammunition and the third body as a cover shield, successfully seizing the brief opportunity when the gunfire weakened from its peak, which was when the enemy was reloading their magazines!
