Chapter 191
Its scales grew thicker and thicker after being torn apart by the halberd time and time again, and its structure began to change, attempting to deflect and disperse the impact of the halberd.
Its muscle density is increasing to counter the Patriot's overwhelming power.
The quality of 682 is steadily increasing during the battle.
"Not playing anymore? Heh..."
The giant lizard scoffed at the Patriot in front of it, then roared and charged at the Patriot who was observing it.
Thump!
The battle between the two sides has begun once again.
The battle between the two is no longer confined to a single corridor.
They were like two devastating hurricanes, piercing through several isolation doors, smashing through walls, fighting their way from one passage to another, from the perimeter of one containment chamber to another experimental area.
Wherever they went, chaos followed; metal Distortion, equipment was destroyed, and the ground was covered with traces of battle and corrosive blood spilled by 682.
Patriot maintained an overwhelming offensive throughout; his strength, skill, and immortal shield allowed him to firmly hold the upper hand.
However, 682's terrifying immortality and rapid evolution ability make it like a leech, becoming even more difficult to deal with after each injury.
It's like a piece of rough metal being constantly forged, advancing in a direction more and more targeted at the Patriot under the Patriot's spear.
Patriot was once a captain in Ursus, had also heard this story.
Legend has it that monsters lurk deep in the ocean, evolving with each battle. Now it seems this might be more than just a story.
The 682 in front of him proves his point of view.
This creature's evolutionary capabilities far exceed our imagination.
Patriot's massive body pressed forward again, his halberd sweeping across, but 682 dodged it with an even more agile side leap.
Its speed increased again.
Bang!
The halberd struck empty air, leaving a deep crater in the ground.
Taking advantage of the situation, 682 spewed acid, which Patriot blocked with his shield. The sizzling sound of corrosion rose up along with white smoke.
This shield, which has withstood countless attacks, is now about to burn itself.
The balance of power is beginning to tip in subtle ways.
Patriot realized that mere suppression was no longer enough to win; he had to change his strategy.
After successfully knocking 682 back several steps with a shield bash, he did not pursue. Instead, he began to move backward rhythmically, reducing the range of his halberd swings and focusing more on blocking and parrying.
He is guiding the battlefield.
"Hehehe." 682 sneered maliciously, but its attacks became even more ferocious.
It tore through isolation doors, smashed through reinforced walls, and relentlessly pursued its prey.
The Patriot, on the other hand, fought and retreated, using the complex terrain of the facilities to gradually lure the destructive behemoth away from the core heavy containment zone.
The aftermath of their battle destroyed everything in their path.
Task forces attempting to establish a defensive line were often blown away by the shockwaves of the battle between the two behemoths before they even had a chance to fire, or were instantly engulfed by the wreckage and splashed acid from 682's casually tossed debris.
Screams and alarms blared, the roar of battle mingled together, and the casualty figures rose sharply.
Countless researchers and security personnel, hiding behind bunkers or observing through monitor screens, witnessed this mythical battle in horror.
The mythical battle between giants and behemoths is now unfolding before everyone's eyes.
Just as this internal chaos reached its peak, an external threat suddenly descended.
Communication channels throughout the site were interrupted by sharp interference and unfamiliar calls.
"This is the Chaos Insurgency! For true freedom, take over the site!"
"Eliminate the tyranny of the Foundation!"
"Hand over the entity - ███!"
The facility's outer defenses were in dire straits, with explosions and intense gunfire coming from all directions.
The Chaos Insurgency was clearly prepared, launching a full-scale attack while its internal forces were in chaos due to the 682 breakthrough and the Titan civil war.
However, amidst the chaos, an unexpected new force emerged.
They wore unconventional black combat uniforms, were well-equipped, and possessed all sorts of strange melee weapons; some even wielded magic wands that could fire lasers.
Chapter 10: Angela, who loves to have fun [4 updates]
This mysterious squad appeared like ghosts at the crucial point of engagement, forming a tacit cooperation with the struggling Nine-Tailed Fox task force.
Their precise firepower suppression and skillful flanking attacks repeatedly thwarted the Chaos Insurgency's offensive.
The Nine-Tailed Fox's radio communication was transmitted.
"Clear the left corridor, cease fire, cease fire on those people, deal with them after we've suppressed these damned guys."
"Sector B-7 needs support, we're on our way."
"That big guy and the lizard headed your way; avoid the main passage!"
The Nine-Tailed Fox's encrypted channel widely accepted the team's help, but no one knew their identities.
They are like another sharp blade emerging from the shadows of the Foundation, working alongside the Nine-Tailed Fox to build a fragile line of defense against the Chaos Insurgency on this chaotic battlefield.
Meanwhile, the battle between Patriot and 682 had penetrated through layers of areas, continuously expanding upwards, and was inevitably heading towards the light containment zone.
Even greater chaos is about to erupt.
The nuclear weapons are ready, and the facilities are under immense pressure.
"I wonder how the employees are doing," Xiao Huasheng muttered to himself as he lay on the sofa, looking at the dimly lit corridor.
The company has physiological data for all its employees, but although there is contact, we can only get a general idea and have no idea how badly they fought.
Inside the containment room, Angela, sitting next to the sofa, held a tablet in her hand and tapped the screen as she spoke.
"Hmm... Supervisor, Ai Er Lan is dying. I've already dispatched Roxy to rescue her. FrostNova and the others seem to be locked in combat with the Thousand-Throated Beast, and their situation doesn't look good either."
"Really?" Xiao Huasheng curiously peeked over and took a look.
"Why can this thing display the employees' status?"
"Actually, this is a function of the company; it already exists in the monitoring room, but I just brought it out here."
"How did you do that?"
"The supervisor should be well aware of Reality Warping is."
"Wow!"
Xiao Huasheng clicked her tongue in amazement. It was like the 'Compass of the Stars' that she herself created using her Reality-Warping Ability to find things, which would spin randomly when her Reality-Warping Ability was suppressed.
However, this thing can only be made with 1000 units of energy when the Angel's energy bar is only 1000 units. What more could you ask for?
"Could I take a look at the situation of the employees fighting? I want to see them fight."
The gossip-loving Angel stared at the screen; spying on employees was something she loved to do most.
"Okay, I'll adjust it for you."
Soon, with Angela's control, the employees in various areas came into view, and Xiao Huasheng clapped his hands in approval.
Since she was really bored anyway, she might as well take this opportunity to watch TV.
While the employees were fighting tooth and nail, these two Angel just lay on the sofa, watching them fight.
Angela lay on top of Xiao Huasheng, holding the tablet above Xiao Huasheng head, and they watched in a very harmonious and affectionate manner.
The two had become so arrogant that they were oblivious to the world around them, completely ignoring the containment failure.
It is clear that after witnessing the devastation of the world, Xiao Huasheng was not surprised at all by such a minor containment failure.
At that very moment, 079, who was in fact in charge of this containment breach, also discovered the two leisurely Angel.
After realizing that the two were entirely on the human side, it silently guided a strange creature toward where the two were.
Snap!
The entire facility's lighting system, along with most of the non-emergency equipment, was instantly cut off!
Darkness engulfed everything in an instant, with only emergency exit signs and a few independently powered devices emitting a ghostly green glow.
The containment chamber where Xiao Huasheng was located was instantly plunged into darkness, with only the faint light from the tablet screen in Angela's hand illuminating the two faces that had suddenly frozen in shock.
The sounds of intense gunfire, explosions, monster roars, and screams of people in the distance seemed amplified many times over in the darkness, making them even more ferocious and terrifying.
"What's going on!" Xiao Huasheng was startled by the sudden darkness and instinctively shrank back into the sofa, his previously leisurely swinging legs stopping.
The complete darkness in front of her frightened her quite a bit.
The tablet in my hand became the only source of light, which, in the deathly darkness, brought a sense of unease and isolation.
She could hear her own heartbeat quickening slightly.
"It's alright, Supervisor." Angela's voice remained calm in the darkness. "The main power supply has been cut off, and the backup generator may have been interfered with or damaged by something. The main battlefield is very far from us, and the Patriot and 682's combat paths are not heading towards us. Currently, nothing can directly interfere with us here."
"Shall we continue watching TV?" she asked, pointing to the tablet.
"Of course, this also allows us to identify the shortcomings of our employees, which we can then address when we return. In situations where there is no energy, our employees are our only hope," Angela said, taking precautions.
The two adorable Angel always try to avoid getting directly into extreme situations. They're actually incredibly cowardly and only venture out to play when things are going well. If they realize they can't win, they'll run away immediately.
"Hahaha... that's true."
Xiao Huasheng took a deep breath, lay back down, but his eyes kept glancing warily at the doorway illuminated by the dim light of the tablet.
Darkness always breeds imagination, especially when you know that countless deadly anomalies lurk within it.
On the tablet screen, the cursor and health bar representing the employees' status continued to jump, and the two continued to watch the employees' battle intently.
Angela was happily watching the screen while crunching garlic beans in her mouth.
She didn't seem afraid of the monster in the darkness, while Xiao Huasheng timidly moved closer to Angela.
The physical intimacy between the two women was perfectly normal; they were sisters born from the same soul from the very beginning, and should naturally support each other.
Hiss hiss hiss--
The sound of stones shifting echoed outside the door, and a strange object silently moved from the darkness towards the light.
Just as the Patriot were watching the intense battle against 682, a sound of bones cracking rang out.
Gra!
Suddenly, Xiao Huasheng noticed that Angela's slender arm was trembling, and she asked in confusion.
"Angela? What happened to you?" She turned around and saw Angela's miserable state, and the blurry shadow behind her.
Angela's body was stiff in an extremely unnatural posture, her golden pupils dilated.
The most terrifying thing was her neck; her head was being rotated 180 degrees at an angle that no human could possibly do!
Angela, you've gone wild again.
Chapter 11: Two Little Peanuts, Passionate Battle [5 Updates]
Angela's originally smooth long hair, tied in small braids, fell down, partially obscuring her face.
But Xiao Huasheng could still see Angela's wide-open eyes through the gaps in her hair, where a trace of lingering calm remained, along with a sudden surge of astonishment.
The tablet slipped from Angela's hand and fell to the ground. The screen flickered a few times before going dark.
Her entire body felt as if all the bones had been removed; she slid limply off the sofa, collapsed to the floor, and fell silent.
"[Oh, I'm dead.]" Angela's voice rang out from the company.
"Ah?!" Xiao Huasheng's voice trembled with extreme fear. She practically rolled off the sofa, staring at Angela's corpse in disbelief.
How did Angela die?
In that instant, immense horror washed over him like ice water.
A cold, iron-like hand suddenly gripped Xiao Huasheng's neck!
