Chapter 0404 Assault on the Underground Base_1
With Zhang Bin's sudden disappearance, Golden Sands Hospital descended into chaos.
Numerous Genetically Enhanced Humans, Superpower Users, and experts from the Hell Organization were running around like headless chickens, frantically searching for him. American security experts were also mobilized, investigating how the hospital's security systems had been compromised by the enemy.
Meanwhile, in the presidential suite of a hotel, over a hundred incredibly powerful experts had appeared. These were, of course, the masters from China.
The great expert Zhou Tianyu was one of them, as was Master Tianlong. Zhang Hangkui, a master from the Shushan Sect, was also present. He was also a Nascent Soul Stage Master with strength rivaling Zhou Tianyu's. With a single sword strike, he could sever mountains—a terrifying display of power.
Most of the remaining masters were in the Late-Stage Golden Core Realm; there were hardly any from the Middle Stage. There were also a dozen or so at the Peak Golden Core Realm and the Great Perfection Realm. Such a force was truly terrifying. But now, this formidable group was obediently listening as Zhao Dawei assigned their tasks.
"We can't split up. We'll just push forward as one group. The traps have been clearly marked, and I will give you timely reminders..." Zhao Dawei said solemnly.
He was undoubtedly going in as well. Despite the immense power of these masters, they didn't understand modern technology as well as the younger specialists like him.
"You mean the information on the traps isn't complete?" Zhang Hangkui asked with a serious expression.
"We only know the layout and traps of the outer layers; the deepest parts are naturally unclear. But once we break into the base, the Hacker Rabbit King can discover more traps and will alert us in real time," said Zhao Dawei.
"The Hacker Rabbit King? Who is he? Is he one of you?" Zhou Tianyu asked, his eyes wide with surprise as he looked at Zhao Dawei and the other specialists.
"The Hacker Rabbit King is incredibly mysterious. He may or may not be among us. What matters is that he's from China and can be trusted," Zhao Dawei said. "Tonight, our objective is to infiltrate the Underground Biological Base and obtain the Americans' research on Genetically Enhanced Humans. If possible, after we secure our objective, we will destroy the base..."
They discussed the details for a long time. Only when every member had no further questions did Zhao Dawei announce the start of the operation.
They exited the hotel in an orderly fashion. No one could see them because they had each applied an Invisibility Talisman. These were mystical Talismans created by Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators. It was precisely because of the many Treasures they possessed that they had the confidence to undertake this exceedingly difficult mission. Now, with the help of the Hacker Rabbit King, their strength had been greatly amplified. Moreover, all members wore headsets, allowing them to communicate.
They moved silently toward the entrance of the underground base, which was located inside an inconspicuous hotel. Of course, this hotel was not open to the public. Its occupants were all incredibly powerful Superpower Users, American Cultivators, and Genetically Enhanced Humans.
Yes, America had Cultivators too. However, America's history isn't long, so its Cultivators were not particularly powerful. Those in the Golden Core Realm were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. As for Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, they had none at all. Furthermore, the Americans lacked long-standing Sects, so they had no means of cultivating Spiritual Medicine. Their path of Cultivation was incredibly difficult. That was why they so fanatically researched Genetically Enhanced Humans.
Naturally, the experts in this hotel were there to guard the entrance to the Biological Base. Not only were they equipped with terrifyingly powerful weapons, but their individual strength was also immense.
"Zhou Tianyu, Zhang Hangkui, Master Tianlong... you eight are responsible for eliminating the four visible guards and four hidden guards at the entrance," Zhao Dawei issued the command through his earpiece.
As soon as he finished speaking, the eight masters silently closed in and spat Flying Swords from their mouths.
WHOOSH, WHOOSH, WHOOSH...
The sound was piercing. The Flying Swords moved like lightning, many times faster than those Zhang Bin could produce. The distance was too short. Although the eight American experts were powerful and began to dodge, they had barely formed the thought before the Flying Swords pierced their brows. They collapsed without even a chance to scream.
The Chinese masters rushed over, swiftly stripping the clothes from the bodies. Eight of their own team members, who were less powerful but skilled at disguise, immediately donned the uniforms and took up the fallen guards' positions.
Normally, an attack that killed eight people would have been discovered instantly, as the area was filled with cameras and alarms. However, Tutu now controlled the security system for this entrance, so the intrusion went undetected.
Zhang Bin was helping them not because of his good relationship with Zhao Dawei, but because he knew they would attack the Underground Biological Base regardless. If he didn't help, these top experts from China would surely suffer heavy losses; even the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators might be severely injured. Of course, with their terrifying strength, they would still ultimately succeed. But the situation would then become grave. With so many of its experts dead, China's deterrent power against America would be greatly diminished. America would certainly retaliate, and war could even break out. Even if it didn't come to that, China would lack the strength to resist a future crisis involving Genetically Enhanced Humans. Therefore, Zhang Bin could only do his best to help them and preserve their lives, preparing for the coming crisis.
Of course, he had another hope: that the Genetically Enhanced Human technology in this Biological Base was flawless, prioritizing the enhancement of spiritual power before genetic modification. If the base possessed such equipment and technology, China had to obtain it. Worried they might not find the machinery on their own, he had also entered the base personally, albeit via a different route.
Meanwhile, Tutu was operating at full capacity. It controlled the base's external systems while simultaneously scanning deeper into the facility as Zhang Bin advanced, rapidly refining the base's layout and marking traps. At Zhang Bin's command, Tutu had even taken over tactical command from Zhao Dawei, relaying orders directly into each team member's earpiece.
As a result, their operation was methodical and orderly. They pushed forward, assassinating at least two hundred American experts along the way, until they had the entire hotel under their control. All the while, the American guards inside the base remained completely unaware.
"Chen Junheng, you're truly incredible. I'm completely in awe. On behalf of the nation, I thank you..." Zhao Dawei said in admiration.
Zhang Bin's voice, disguised as the Rabbit King's, replied in Zhao Dawei's earpiece, "Heh heh... If Zhang Bin hadn't asked me, I wouldn't have lifted a finger. So, if you want to thank someone, thank Zhang Bin. A tangible reward would be best. How about some Spiritual Medicine over a thousand years old? Zhang Bin can pass it along to me..."
