"We know, we’ve all received Professor Xia’s message, just didn’t expect to encounter such a guy, at first we thought they were just ordinary, but later we found out they weren’t."
Ye Qian looked at the muscular man lying on the ground in War Armor.
"Old Zhong, he’s not dead, his War Armor must have also been enhanced by a crystal."
"What?" Old Zhong was shocked.
The opponent had not only obtained War Armor but also knew how to enhance the War Armor with crystals. This guy’s got some skills.
The muscular man on the ground laughed wildly, his laughter arrogant, "Pain, it really hurt me to death."
Then swinging a straight saber, he ferociously swung at them, "I’m going to chop you to pieces."
Without a second thought, Old Zhong, holding a shield, rushed forward. With a clang, the straight saber collided with the shield. The immense force that followed drastically changed Old Zhong’s expression.
"Be careful, this guy is also an Awakener. His strength is formidable."
A collision was enough to feel out the depth.
Old Zhong repelled the opponent, waving his shield, the sharp edge of the shield sweeping towards the man’s body. The muscular man reacted quickly, taking a step back before swinging his saber again.
Clashing against each other, sparks flew.
The muscular man roared fiercely, screaming wildly, raising the straight saber overhead and slashing down with all his might, trying to overpower with brute force. But just as he raised his saber...
Dong Jia appeared out of nowhere, her straight saber coming down hard on the muscular man’s chest armor. The War Armor, which had already been heavily attacked by Ye Qian, was struck by Dong Jia’s blade, and the chest armor shattered instantly.
Bright red blood spilled out from within the armor.
Old Zhong looked at Dong Jia.
Dong Jia said, "It’s about coordination. If we can work as a team, then we should never act alone."
Old Zhong chuckled naively, "Right."
"Ah..." The muscular man roared in anger, and even though he was wounded, he still got up. But just as he did, bang, he was hit by another massive impact. Looking up, he saw Ye Qian holding a sniper rifle—she had just fired.
The muscular man was slammed against the wall by the force.
Ye Qian did not stop, aiming for the exposed chest of the muscular man, she pulled the trigger.
The Spirit Bullets hit the same spot on the muscular man, with blood spraying in large quantities from his body. Each time the muscular man’s body tried to slide down the wall, Ye Qian would fire, pinning him there.
After firing six shots in a row...
The muscular man slowly fell to the ground, deep bullet holes in the wall.
Ye Qian noticed that Old Zhong, Dong Jia, and the others were staring at her, dumbfounded, but she just smiled.
"It’s about coordination. If we can work as a team, then we should never act alone. Besides, he’s an Awakener; it’s safer to fire a few more shots."
And Zhu Cheng just blinked, indicating that this matter had nothing to do with him whatsoever.
For the research personnel at Galaxy Base, it was their first time witnessing a battle between Awakeners. It was shockingly intense, and their team coordination was seamless.
Next, they stripped off the War Armor from the opponent’s body. Even though the chest piece was shattered, the straight saber was still intact, and regardless of its condition, taking it with them was the right choice.
Zhu Cheng said, "I heard from Brother Lin that the flesh and blood of awakened beings have uses for zombies. How about we take it back for Officer Huang?"
Everyone thought about it, and it was indeed the case, all the good stuff was taken back.
they moved the bodies of those who had been sacrificed outside and buried them.
No one wanted to see such things happen.
"I can’t believe such a thing happened at Galaxy Base..."
Lin Fan had not expected that someone would get their hands on War Armor and even make it inside the base. Thankfully Zhou and his team arrived quickly enough; otherwise, it would have been a tremendous loss for humanity if something had happened to those scientific experts.
Of course, he hoped that those who were alive could maintain their true nature,
rather than degenerating into a terrifying existence that people would fear.
Zhou said, "We’ve brought back the guy’s body and a set of War Armor from Desert Base."
Lin Fan said, "Zhou, I think you should wear that suit of War Armor. As a strength Awakener, wearing the War Armor, wielding a straight sword, and using a shield, I think your overall strength will greatly increase."
"Really? I should wear it?"
"Well, alright then."
No matter how old, men always harbored an insane pursuit for War Armor.
Lin Fan met with the group of scientific experts, and when the experts arrived at Sunshine Shelter in the city overseen by Officer Huang, they were deeply shocked by their surroundings under the sun. It was hard to imagine that such an environment could exist.
They had been staying inside the underground research base where, although safe, they were unable to freely walk on the surface, which was somewhat uncomfortable.
He had Wang Kai and the others arrange a place for these scientific experts to stay first and informed them about the situation at Sunshine Shelter, most importantly about Officer Huang and Dongdong.
This was to prevent any unnecessary panic should they encounter Officer Huang without understanding the situation.
Lin Fan stayed in contact with Professor Xia, reporting the situation on his end.
When Professor Xia heard that people from both bases had safely arrived at his location, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, although he sighed over the phone about the sacrifices at Galaxy Base.
It was clear that he too had not expected such an event to occur.
"Professor Xia, they told me that at Desert Base, a scientific researcher stayed behind, saying they wanted to wait for Professor Ji to come back."
"Wait for Qiuyue to return? That’s nonsense."
Professor Xia’s expression changed slightly during the phone call, as if he was considering some unpleasant possibility. Then he quickly spoke a few words with Lin Fan before contacting the person remaining at Desert Base.
But no matter how he tried to get in touch, there was no response, and he noticed that Ji Qiuyue’s database had once again been accessed.
An unpleasant thought appeared in Professor Xia’s mind.
What he feared the most was that there were still people coveting the Lucky Cell.
Lin Fan, on the other hand, did not concern himself with Professor Xia’s matters. Instead, he found Sister Li and asked her to prepare an abundant meal, since it was the first visit for these scientific personnel.
He placed importance on their reception,
also thinking of showing respect for the contributions of these scientific experts.
a car slowly came to a stop.
Zhou Yang, who had been inside the car, checked his appearance in the mirror to see how he looked, quite satisfied after a glance, pushed open the car door, stepped on the ground, and looked up at the tall iron gates with his head held high.
This was Sunshine Shelter.
