Chapter 67 The Flame Emperor escapes, and the slaughter begins!
In an inconspicuous courtyard house in Beijing.
This is Elder Long's private residence.
Since being forced to relinquish command by Tie Ying and others, this old man, who had spent his life in the military, returned here and secluded himself at home.
On the surface, he resembled a defeated lion who chose to retire.
But only he knew that he was waiting.
Waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback.
And this opportunity came just now from Su Chen's phone call.
"General! The situation is dire!"
Zhang Yuan, the adjutant most trusted by Elder Long, strode in.
"Captain Qin Bing was promoted in name only, and transferred to the archives room to organize old documents that hadn't been touched for decades."
"Lin Xue was transferred to the 'Shennong' project team, responsible for the perimeter security of Area C, and had no access to any core personnel."
"The Ice Phoenix Special Forces team was also completely scattered, and the members were assigned to various remote and obscure positions."
With each word Zhang Yuan spoke, Elder Long's face grew darker.
"What a shrewd Wu Jingyao! What a brilliant Tie Ying!"
Old Master Long suddenly stood up and slammed his hand heavily on the table.
Anger raged in his cloudy old eyes.
"They're trying to kill my people!"
"No! Xiao Su called earlier, and Wu Jingyao is about to make her move. If we don't have a countermeasure, we'll be in a very passive position!"
Zhang Yuan quickly asked, "Then what should we do?"
Old Master Long's eyes were sharp as knives. Although he no longer had command authority, his prestige and connections accumulated over the past decades were no joke.
"Lieutenant, immediately take my token and secretly go to see my students!"
Elder Long took out a jade pendant, his expression serious: "Have them lend a hand, and send people to strengthen security around the perimeter to prevent any accidents!"
His whereabouts are now definitely being monitored by Tie Ying and Wu Jingyao. If he makes a phone call or does anything unusual, they will definitely take the opportunity to frame him.
If he is captured, it will be extremely difficult for Xiao Su, Qin Bing, and the others to return.
Elder Long understood that there was no way to infiltrate from the inside, nor was there time to do so slowly; the only option was to strengthen defenses from the outside!
"yes!"
Zhang Yuan nodded, packed his things, and quickly left through the secret passage.
-
"Shennong" Project Area, Zone C.
Lin Xue, dressed in a crisp security uniform, patrolled the metal corridor with a blank expression.
Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, scanning every corner.
Having been transferred here, I must remain on high alert at all times.
She knew that Wu Jingyao had no good intentions in arranging her to come here.
Xiao Fan, that extremely dangerous guy, is being held here. Nobody knows what might happen.
All she could do was to be fully focused and fulfill her duties.
Meanwhile, she was also observing from the shadows.
They observed the base's defensive vulnerabilities and the scientists' movements, gathering all possible intelligence for Qin Bing and Su Chen.
Just then, a faint static sound came from her communicator.
It was a secret message sent by Qin Bing through an encrypted channel.
"Lin Xue, the advisor told us to meet outside!"
These few words made Lin Xue suddenly stop in her tracks!
Her heart started pounding uncontrollably.
The consultant... is back?
An indescribable excitement and joy welled up in my heart.
That man, the man who always turns the tide at the most crucial moments, he's finally back!
This means they are no longer fighting alone!
"What do you need me to do?"
Lin Xue took a deep breath, suppressing her excitement, and replied with the same brief code.
She gripped the psionic rifle tightly, feeling her whole body brimming with power.
As long as the consultant is there, the sky won't fall down!
However, at the very moment she communicated with Qin Bing.
A faint ripple, like water, appeared in the space not far behind her.
A blurry figure flashed by.
Silently, it blended into the shadows of the wall.
Lin Xue suddenly turned around and sensed an unusual fluctuation...
Thirteen underground floors, the core laboratory.
Xiao Fan suddenly opened his eyes!
Just now, he sensed a familiar spatial fluctuation.
Immediately following, a cold, potent potion filled with immense energy.
It appeared out of thin air on his lab table and rolled down to his side.
Xiao Fan's pupils suddenly contracted!
He recognized it at a glance!
This is the primal power extracted from one's own blood!
That crazy woman, Wu Jingyao, actually sent over such a good thing!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Xiao Fan let out a silent burst of wild laughter in his heart!
God helps me too!
God help me too!
He originally estimated that it would take him at least another day or two to completely break free from the suppression of the psionic shackles.
But with this thing, he can now, immediately, instantly, return to his peak condition, or even... be stronger!
Suddenly, an alarm sounded. It turned out that a special fluctuation had been detected, and a spatial ability user had broken in.
Immediately, all personnel in the area moved quickly to guard all entrances and exits.
"Heh, you're only realizing this now? How slow of a flash!"
It's too late!!!
He heard Wu Jingyao's voice in his ear: "I sent Su Chen away, he won't be able to come tonight!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan's eyes flashed with madness.
"Excellent! It's time to fully enjoy this bloody feast!"
Xiao Fan grinned maliciously, without the slightest hesitation.
With a slight movement of his mental energy, the golden potion floated up silently, and the needle precisely pierced the artery in his neck.
boom!!!
A vast, violent, magma-like golden energy surged into his limbs and bones in an instant!
The "Imperial Flame Mechanical Heart" within his body seemed to have been doused with the strongest gasoline, and it exploded with a bang!
Click! Click! Click!
The psionic shackles binding his wrists and ankles were engraved with binding runes.
The moment it came into contact with this violent energy, it let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain!
The runes on it dimmed and shattered one by one!
"Warning! Warning! The experimental subject's energy response has increased dramatically!"
"The energy index has broken through the peak of S-level! It is climbing towards SS-level!"
"Suppress system overload! Shackles are about to fail! Repeat! Shackles are about to fail!"
The piercing alarm sounded throughout the entire laboratory.
The scientists who were excitedly discussing the data just a moment ago were now all pale-faced, staring in horror at the person on the experimental table who was undergoing a dramatic change.
Xiao Fan's body was enveloped in an extremely dazzling golden flame.
The hundreds of tubes inserted into his body were instantly burned to ashes!
He slowly sat up from the lab table.
The movement was full of power, like a demon god awakening.
boom! ! !
With a loud bang, he forcefully broke through the four vibranium-forged psionic shackles!
"roar!!!"
A roar, filled with endless anger and killing intent, that had been suppressed for too long, burst forth from Xiao Fan's throat!
"A bunch of scum, enjoy my wrath!"
A terrifying roar, mixed with golden flames, swept outwards!
