The Temperature Drops

Hearing his boss's words, the tall bear-man also hesitated.

Clearly, the week he just mentioned was simply to give himself and others enough spare time.

But he clearly hadn't anticipated that his boss had already contacted his superiors, nor did he expect that the other party would arrive in just one week...

This made everyone present somewhat uneasy.

They were all new members of the Reunion Movement and didn't know what kind of person the leader of the Reunion Movement, the woman named Talulah, was. However, they had all heard that the Catastrophes meteorite in Chernobog was caused by her.

That was enough to terrify them.

And Skullshatterer understood how these people felt.

However, instead of offering words of comfort, he continued to put pressure on them.

"The bomb must be planted no later than three days from now!"

Skullshatterer lowered his voice, his tone firm.

Upon hearing this order, the companions around him also showed hesitation.

But after a moment, they all gritted their teeth and nodded in agreement.

Although many members of the Reunion Movement infiltrated Lungmen, only a minority truly belonged to the Reunion Movement.

The team responsible for planting the Skullshatterer consisted of only a few dozen people in this building.

To complete the remaining work within three days means that some of our companions will inevitably encounter members of the Lungmen Guard Department.

No one can say for sure what the outcome will be.

Even so, they gritted their teeth and accepted the challenge.

After all, they've come this far and have no way out.

Meanwhile, Skullshatterer nodded, and then, in silence, hesitantly asked a question.

"So... have you found Misha's location?"

"Um?"

Several of his fellow Reunion Movement members looked puzzled.

The mission to capture Misha was received by everyone... after all, she was hiding some important secrets.

But now that Misha has been taken away by the Lungmen Guard Department, their mission should have failed, right?

The other guys have stopped paying attention to what's going on here, so why is our boss still asking about it?

After a moment of silence, Skullshatterer continued speaking.

"That woman is also Infected. She won't trust the Lungmen Guard Department, and naturally she won't reveal any information she has... But we don't know when she will choose to confide, so even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, we must stop her!"

"I see..." Upon hearing Skullshatterer's explanation, all the members showed expressions of admiration.

No wonder Skullshatterer Bones is their leader.

Such meticulous attention to detail and careful planning certainly makes them trustworthy.

After understanding their leader's purpose, everyone started talking and soon came to a conclusion.

"That woman should be under the control of the Lungmen Guard Department now. According to some intelligence, she hasn't come out since she was brought in... But, boss, what about the Lungmen Guard Department..."

The man who spoke hesitated for a moment, showing some hesitation himself.

He didn't doubt the arrangements made by Skullshatterer, but even though it was to prevent the exposure of important information, wouldn't it be a bit difficult to forcefully storm the Lungmen Guard Department?

They're just a bunch of ragtag soldiers, while the Lungmen Guard Department —those guys are all properly trained!

Not to mention the equipment advantage the opponent has.

Forcibly arresting him at this point is clearly not a rational choice...

At this moment, Skullshatterer hesitated for a moment.

But after a moment, he shook his head.

"I understand... Let's abandon her for now. Call back the brothers who are monitoring her. There's no need to waste our strength on the other side any longer."

Skullshatterer cares deeply about his older sister Misha... In his less-than-happy childhood memories, besides the despair of his mother being killed while protecting him from infection, there was only his sister Misha, who tried her best to hide herself.

Although they had been separated since they were very young, he did not resent his sister from that time... She had done everything she could for him.

The only resentment Skullshatterer towards this family was towards his biological father... Sergei.

But memories are just memories; he must look forward now.

There's no point in continuing to worry about Misha's safety; the Reunion Movement's plans have reached their most critical moment.

If completed, they will have a complete, autonomous mobile platform... This is a ray of hope for all members of the Reunion Movement.

They will build the first nation here entirely composed of Infected!

And at that time, Misha will naturally be rescued.

The most important issue right now is still about the bomb!

The Reunion Movement is not yet powerful enough to contend with the entire Lungmen, so Talulah orchestrated both a frontal attack and an attack from behind.

Of the two, the importance of this group that launched the attack from behind is self-evident.

If successful, they will greatly restrain the military power of Lungmen!

But... that's assuming they succeed...

In a daze, Skullshatterer heard soft footsteps behind him...

And then there were those whispers, like those of a demon.

"It's time to rest, boys..."

He turned his head, his face, covered in Skullshatterer, filled with terror.

He didn't utter a single word.

A horizontal kick struck him squarely in the abdomen!

Chapter 158 Temperature Drop

Who is it?!

The event happened in the blink of an eye.

No one could understand how Maria managed to bypass the tight surveillance from the outside world and the traps inside, and how she managed to get behind them without anyone noticing.

At that moment, the only thing they could understand was that their leader had been attacked.

Without any hesitation, the people around Maria stood up and tried to resist her!

But...

Standing before them was a serious-minded Maria.

"My time is approaching infinitely close to the concept of eternity, but even so, I hope to dedicate every moment to things that I find meaningful..."

Maria calmly surveyed the attacking warriors, and without any hesitation, she grabbed one of them!

"Bump!"

Purely, without any reason...

Maria slammed it to the ground.

The terrifying impact instantly caused the other person's eyes to roll back... He had lost consciousness.

The intense tremor instantly spread to the surrounding area.

Several Reunion Movement members who had been attempting to attack suddenly stopped, staring at Maria with grim expressions.

"Who are you? From the Lungmen Guard Department?"

Many of these people had not been involved in the previous riot with Skullshatterer and naturally did not know Maria, but even so, the abilities Maria had just displayed still sent chills down their spines.

Meanwhile, the disheveled Skullshatterer struggled to his feet from the ground.

But a moment later, he couldn't help but gag.

Thin streaks of blood seeped through the mask and dripped to the ground.

At this moment, he resembled a newborn cub, struggling even to stand.

He looked up, his eyes filled with anguish, as he gazed at Maria.

The underlings watching this scene gritted their teeth.

A few people stayed behind, watching Maria timidly, while others quickly ran over, preparing to escape with the Skullshatterer.

Unfortunately, just as they helped Skullshatterer up, Skullshatterer forcefully pushed them away.

"You... go!"

Skullshatterer didn't have much time to explain to these guys.

He simply kept his eyes fixed on Maria.

Including this time, he has fought Maria a total of three times.

The first time, he led his team, only to be cornered by Maria in an alley, unable to defeat her at all.

The second time, he attacked Maria with Mephisto and Faust, but they couldn't even break through her defenses and were routed.

These two instances have already brought his evaluation of Maria to its highest level... In Skullshatterer's eyes, within the entire Reunion Movement, only that guerrilla leader and Talulah are likely to fight her.

But this third time, his phenomenon was completely shattered.

Maria's strength... was simply beyond his comprehension!

That whip kick just now... was more ferocious and terrifying than any of the previous battles!

This made him realize that Maria had never used her full strength before!

This filled him with despair from the depths of his heart.

The only saving grace was that Maria had been staring at him the moment she arrived... meaning Maria wasn't interested in anyone else, which made him grit his teeth and make his decision.

"You take the other teams and go... the plan continues!"

As Skullshatterer spoke, his gaze fixed on Maria before him, he staggered over.

Maria simply looked down at him.

She truly came only for the Skullshatterer; as for others... she didn't care.

"But..."

The companions around him remained somewhat hesitant.

In the distance, the sound of dense footsteps gradually approached; the Reunion Movement members who had discovered the problem were on their way.

These steps also gave them courage.

Regardless, everyone in this building is one of their own.

There are definitely fifty or sixty of them.

Although Maria's kick severely injured her boss, much of the damage was due to Maria's sudden attack combined with her boss's pre-existing serious injuries.

If a real fight breaks out, she might not be able to defeat our side!

And Skullshatterer knew their thoughts.

But he could only manage a wry smile at these thoughts.

They knew they were hurt... but their hurt was also because of the woman in front of them.

However, time was of the essence, and Skullshatterer didn't have time to explain anything. He simply glanced around to make sure Maria had come alone and that there was no one surrounding her, then he forcefully issued his order.

"Poposal, from this moment on, you will assume the responsibility of leadership... Don't argue! Get out of here immediately!"

As Skullshatterer spoke, he struggled to grasp the grenade launcher beside him, his eyes fixed on Maria in front of him.

Meanwhile, the Reunion Movement members standing nearby also looked conflicted.

A moment later, the tall bear-man also waved his hand!

"Let's go!"
