"Alright, I understand."
This kind of meet-cute situation at a corner was quite common in horror TV shows and movies.
"Wait here, I'll go check ahead."
Makuku was left in place while she walked forward to explore, which could be considered payback for Makuku telling her so much information.
The manager always had to step up.
Not to mention, just in this short amount of time.
She had practically heard the Foundation's secrets inside and out, and several extremely important entities had been mentioned to Xiao Huasheng.
They were presences she couldn't beat.
They were completely unfair conceptual rules; some of them didn't even have a place you could hit, purely acting as a rule.
Xiao Huasheng's worldview regarding the mystery of the Foundation was refreshed more and more.
Makuku quickly hid, curling up into a ball.
"Wuwuwuwu..."
The closer she got to the end of the corridor, the more miserable the crying became.
It was just like a resentful child crying.
After passing the corner of the corridor, Entity 096 was less than a meter away to the side.
It still had that emaciated, pale physique, covering its face with its bizarre hands.
Xiao Huasheng's gaze focused on its face.
Realizing this.
Its crying stopped, turning into a shrill scream!
Entity 096's current state was quite wondrous.
Ordinary humans viewing its photographs would no longer trigger a reaction from it.
Yet as long as one looked at it directly, it would tear that person to pieces just like before.
No one knew what the principle behind this was.
"Ahhhhh!"
Its jaw widened to an extreme degree, and it stood up from the ground, roaring at Xiao Huasheng with terrifying extremity as it raised its hands!
Xiao Huasheng looked at it unconcernedly with her hands behind her back.
She prepared to twist its neck the moment it approached her.
Unfortunately, all of this stopped right there.
The red-haired angel helplessly stepped forward, about to have another hearty, unrestricted brawl with the opponent.
Its pale pupils seemed to see Xiao Huasheng's appearance, and the heaven-shaking cries gradually diminished.
"Ah... wuwu!"
The cries turned into heaven-shaking sobs, and then it turned around and bolted! In the blink of an eye, it vanished at the end of the corridor.
It looked precisely like a bullied child going to complain to its parents.
This left Xiao Huasheng baffled.
"Not fighting anymore?"
She was very confused.
What happened to the fight to the death?
The reason 096 no longer attacked people who looked at its photograph.
Was because among the people looking at the photograph, one of them might just be Xiao Huasheng...
Outside the Foundation, the Zone A gate had already been breached by 682. The rapidly growing 682 charged into the traps meticulously laid out by the Foundation as if entering nobody's land.
Located at the top of the facility, old man 682 roared frantically, and a mere flick of its tail was enough to send an armed helicopter constantly hovering above flying!
Countless guns poured down from all directions like a web of threads without stopping!
Its dense scales were instantly torn to shreds by these guns, ground into its flesh and blood.
Logically speaking! Ordinarily by this time old man 682's stamina would have been mostly spent, but right at this moment it was still as full of vigor as if it had been injected with chicken blood.
A rocket-propelled grenade fired from beneath a helicopter, heading toward old man 682!
Dragging a gorgeous white line through the air, the warhead fiercely collided with old man 682's body.
Just like a torpedo buried in deep water, this single shell hitting its body also stirred up quite a violent shockwave!
Boom!
Steel burst apart and flesh flew; under this single shell, nearly half of old man 682's body vanished!
The surrounding armed helicopters were likewise blown apart in one sweep by the shockwave of this shell, and even the armed personnel located at the bottom of the facility could feel the terrifying power coming from this shell.
The scent of gunpowder smoke permeated this expanse of space.
"Roar!"
The angry roar spread to every inch of the surrounding land, and even the earth began to tremble.
It was enraged!
And it was precisely at the moment when it let out this roar that the Zone B gate suddenly tore open!
A huge gap was broken through without any resistance.
"Wuwuwuwuwu!!"
Tragic crying arrived.
The Foundation immediately laid down suppressing fire toward the source of the crying.
Bullets turned into a yellow curtain descending, yet the speed of that figure did not decrease at all.
Leaving behind only a floor of muscle tissue and internal organs while the skeleton continued to sprint.
Then it leaped across the entire scope of Zone B at extreme speed.
Beneath a pale back, this figure jumped off the nearly fifteen-meter cliff of the Zone B high platform, smashed through the railing, and ran off in one direction...
Entity 096 sprinted at extreme speed and vanished beyond the scope controllable by the Foundation.
In the blink of an eye, the gate was thrown into chaos once more.
The Mobile Task Force members located in Zone B were also dumbfounded, picking up their walkie-talkies to report the situation here upward.
"Report, at the Zone B gate, Entity 096 has breached containment."
"What? Damn it, whatever, forget about it, take down Entity 682 first."
The Mobile Task Forces' gazes returned to old man 682.
Firepower sufficient to destroy a large formation continuously bombarded its body; the artillery shell from just a moment ago was an armor-piercing missile researched by the Foundation, and the effect was quite remarkable!
Yet it still failed to knock 682 down, a situation that simply surpassed common sense.
No one knew just how many tons of bullets had been fired!
Old man 682 stubbornly withstood the hail of bullets and tore three armed helicopters to pieces.
"Cursed humans!"
It let out an extremely angry roar, burning with fury.
Yet another series of attacks ripped open the facility's ceiling, and huge rocks were hoisted up and hurled at one of the armed helicopters!
Thud!
The rock accurately hit the armed helicopter, and the rotor blades along with the fuselage were swiped into two halves by this rock!
A ball of fire once more descended from the sky, crashing into the forest beside the Foundation facility and igniting a massive blaze!
This was no solution either.
Even if an armed helicopter was destroyed, more armed helicopters successively flew in from the distant sky!
The Foundation's determination to contain old man 682 was evident!
Control, Contain!
This was the Foundation's specialty!
Taking advantage of the armed helicopters drawing 682's attention, those inconspicuous people also played their part.
Task force members carrying rocket launchers continually climbed up to the top of the facility.
The moment they got up, they dropped to one knee, and rocket launchers with customized warheads from eight directions fired simultaneously!
Amidst a buzzing of the air.
Eight gorgeous white lines crossed the air.
The customized shells once more smashed onto old man 682's head.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One! Two! Three!
Frost! Acid! Glass pellets!
Eight rocket launchers, old man 682 dodged five, but still inevitably got hit by three.
This special weapon instantly cut old man 682's movements in half!
"Roar!"
Old man 682, with half its body frozen, still carried acid on its head and glass pellets spread throughout its body.
They were all objects that absorbed no energy and dealt heavy damage to it!
If they dared to use high-energy radioactive materials, old man 682 would let the Foundation know what cruelty was!
It began to thrash desperately, external concrete rocks flying everywhere, and even steel rebar was pulled up by it to stab and smash the helicopters in the sky!
The members who had just fired the shells were successively splashed to death by the shockwaves.
Maxed-out regeneration, peerless strength, extreme speed.
A terrifying monster—wasn't that precisely what this referred to?
Located inside the Foundation's Zone B gate.
Xiao Huasheng brought Makuku, standing at the breach punched out by 096 and looking at the exit smashed into a chaotic mess by rocks.
Human severed limbs, blood, and internal organs were scattered all over the ground, and even the flat eaves above were constantly dripping blood.
At the main gate, honoring the agreement, Xiao Huasheng delivered Makuku here.
The price was that the next time Xiao Huasheng saw Makuku, he had to become a department head in her company.
Seeing the roaring artillery fire outside and the sky dyed the color of blood.
"How terrifying..."
She shrank her head timidly; this scene was indeed quite grand.
Makuku looked at the smashed high platform, also breaking out in a cold sweat.
Wanting to escape out of here was truly as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Fortunately, the Mobile Task Force personnel had suffered heavy attrition, and a torn blank space had already appeared in the surrounding formation.
Xiao Huasheng patted Makuku's shoulder.
"Alright, I'll send you this far. I'm also nearing the end of my rope. Well, Department Head, see you next time."
Subsequently, another contract materialized in Xiao Huasheng's hand, and she raised her hand to look at it.
She discovered the terms hadn't changed, but the time limit had become permanent, alongside an additional clause—as long as Makuku died in the real world, while retaining his memories, he would automatically belong to Lobotomy Corporation. At that time, no matter how far the distance, the corporation would execute the extradition regulation.
In other words, Lobotomy Corporation would drag him back after his death, even if it cost energy.
