Meanwhile, beneath the sea surface, splashes erupted as several figures emerged from the waves, one of them advancing towards the bearded captain menacingly.
Before they could react, the clearly superior invader shot two clumps of sticky, web-like nets through the air.
They were instantly covered in white, effectively captured and controlled!
Besides capturing a few somewhat important individuals alive and ordering the cannon fodder to clasp their heads with their hands, these uninvited guests acted with brutal decisiveness.
Within moments, they had eliminated all the cannon fodder escorts and the guards on the platform.
Anyone among the higher-level cannon fodder carrying diesel tanks who tried to resist was directly turned into a burst of sparks.
In less than half an hour, all the defensive forces on the supply platform were wiped out!
A few individuals with cross-boundary communication abilities were the first to be targeted and controlled.
The sudden change left the surviving cannon fodder shivering on the ground with their heads clasped.
"Report to the officer, Area A is cleared."
"Warehouse cleared..."
"Communication equipment is controlled."
As these mysterious figures gathered, the masked leader spoke loudly,
"You don’t need to panic. We are also a representative power of Extreme Ice City. Continue to carry out your tasks peacefully. These high-level confrontations do not concern you, and we will make arrangements for the return of the current world cannon fodder accordingly."
Indeed, after his words, the cannon fodder were no longer so terrified.
Initially assigned to cannon fodder tasks, the risks were inherently high.
However, with internal changes among the city’s upper echelons, whoever took power would still need them.
At least it’s clear that these individuals are stronger.
As a result, the safety factor here is actually higher.
After all, in the Abyss, the greater danger encountered by the cannon fodder comes from the fragments.
Though they are also dangerous, most competent Pioneers have little interest in cannon fodder.
There’s nothing to exploit.
Moreover, their survival itself is a valuable resource...
"Captain, why are we spending so much time dealing with such a place? With our combined force, we could confront the World Breakers."
After everything settled, a masked figure complained.
This godforsaken place, still stuck out in the sea, is indeed not a pleasant duty.
"I don’t know. Since this is the arrangement from above, we’ll follow it. Perhaps a significant figure’s new talent is about to form, urgently needing this Heart of the World. Don’t ask what you shouldn’t."
The masked leader, observing Kosu Town from the sea level height, said calmly,
"With such strong world suppression and such a small place, although we lost quite a bit of cannon fodder, it’s indeed easy to produce valuable resources, enough to make significant figures act..."
"But there is indeed something wrong with this sea area. Since the beginning, I’ve felt something watching us, very creepy."
The masked figure glanced at the dark, turbulent sea below the platform, seemingly apprehensive and uneasy.
However, they failed to notice not far from them, an invisible figure unseen to them was coldly watching the two, listening to their conversation.
The figure wore a broken mask on its face, and a faint NO.4 could be seen on the left chest area.
It seemed to open and close its hand slightly, feeling its own weakness. After contemplating for a moment, it gradually faded away, slowly dissipating...
