"How do we do it?"
Tang Ke Ke asked Ye Zi Xiao in a low voice.
"Directly."
Ye Zi Xiao drew his Shura Saber.
"Wouldn't that alert the enemy?"
"We can't afford to worry about that anymore."
Ye Zi Xiao's face was grim. He said to everyone, "For every minute we delay, an innocent civilian might die. We'll take these people down, put on their clothes, and sneak in."
"Understood."
"Got it."
Leng Shao and Shan Ge also raised their sabers.
"Go."
Ye Zi Xiao lunged forward in a single step.
The other three followed closely behind.
"What..."
"Enemy..."
The two men facing the tunnel instantly spotted Ye Zi Xiao, but Ye Zi Xiao was too fast. Before they could even stand up, their heads were gone.
Swish, swish, swish!
Ye Zi Xiao unleashed three more saber strikes.
Under the Shura Saber, no one could dodge the second blow.
Tang Ke Ke remained silent, just like Ye Zi Xiao, taking down one enemy with each strike. Leng Shao and Shan Ge flanked them, stabbing the two men who reacted and tried to open fire multiple times.
The four of them said nothing. kanδん
Blood and gore splattered at the tunnel entrance!
In less than ten seconds, under the flickering lights, more than a dozen bodies lay fallen. Many died without any pain, because they never knew how they died!
"Change clothes."
Ye Zi Xiao commanded softly.
The four of them quickly selected and put on their drab green military overcoats, wrapping their submachine guns inside the coats. They picked up assault rifles and slung them over the outside of their overcoats.
They put on their large cotton hats.
And wrapped their dirty mufflers around their necks.
Without a close inspection, it would be difficult to tell them apart from the real soldiers.
"Move."
Ye Zi Xiao gave the order, and the four disguised figures ran forward together. This was a passage leading into the interior of the mountain. Initially, it was natural, but as they ran, traces of manual excavation appeared.
The path grew wider.
Electrical wires and light bulbs began to appear on the walls.
Bloodstains were everywhere on the ground.
The entire passage was eerie.
Since they were already inside, there was no need to overthink. The four of them ran forward without a word. As they ran, the area ahead began to illuminate, and they vaguely felt that it was a vast space ahead.
"Who's there?"
"Halt, password?"
Suddenly, a voice called out.
Ye Zi Xiao did not stop. Instead, he charged towards the muzzles of the guns. In the light, a metal fence appeared. Sandbags were piled in front of the fence. Besides the sentry guards, there was also a heavy machine gunner.
"Damn it, halt."
A squad leader shouted, aiming his gun.
"Friendly forces, urgent business."
Ye Zi Xiao said anxiously, carrying his rifle on his back.
"What's going on?"
"An enemy has broken through."
"Hmm, enemy?"
"That's right, the situation is critical. I need to see Commander Shan Mao. Open the gate. Machine gunner, be ready. Those people are very dangerous and move extremely fast. Ordinary guns can't stop them."
Ye Zi Xiao was spewing nonsense with a serious expression.
"Who are you?"
The squad leader was clearly a bit confused.
"I'm Commander Shan Mao's guard."
"Has Commander Shan Mao arrived?"
"Don't be ridiculous. I came through the special passage. Damn it, why are you so slow? I really have urgent business to see the commander. Hurry up and clear the way and open the gate, or I'll shoot you."
Ye Zi Xiao's voice became more agitated.
He directly aimed his gun at the squad leader.
"Quick, quick, quick, open the gate."
The squad leader was genuinely intimidated by Ye Zi Xiao.
Although not giving the password was illogical, Ye Zi Xiao's aura was too powerful. He exuded an irresistible pressure, making everything he said seem true.
The machine gunner moved the gun's muzzle away.
The gate was opened.
"Maintain strict defense. We're leaving."
Before leaving, Ye Zi Xiao gave a perfunctory order. With a gesture, the four quickly passed through the gate and charged in without looking back.
"Strictly defend, machine guns ready."
The squad leader even saluted Ye Zi Xiao.
After charging for about thirty meters, the four suddenly froze. There was no more road ahead. It was an unimaginably vast space, as if the entire mountain had been hollowed out! They were standing on the edge of a cliff.
Looking down.
The space was immense and bottomless, like a cylindrical bottomless pit. The walls of the pit had many spiraling stone steps leading downwards, and in the center of the pit stood a tower-like structure.
The first thing they saw was a large platform.
A helicopter was parked on the platform?
Further down, there were circular rooms on each level, illuminated by lights. Although the angle was not good, they could vaguely see figures moving back and forth in the bright rooms.
"My god, what a massive project!"
Tang Ke Ke couldn't help but exclaim softly.
"Xiao Shan Zi, does it look familiar?"
Leng Shao, with a grin, nudged Shan Ge.
"Damn it, be gentle. Don't push me off. What looks familiar? I've never seen anything like it, but with my intelligence, this place wasn't built by humans, it was built by aliens."
"Screw you!"
Leng Shao kicked Shan Ge.
"I think it looks a bit familiar too."
Ye Zi Xiao frowned and rubbed his chin.
"Brother Xiao!"
Leng Shao ran to Ye Zi Xiao's side and said excitedly, "Don't you think this cylindrical structure looks like the Hive from the movie Resident Evil? The one built underground."
"Holy crap, you're right!"
Ye Zi Xiao instantly understood.
In the famous zombie movie Resident Evil, there were scenes of the Hive in every installment. The high-ranking villains controlling the world lived in the Hive, which was also a laboratory.
Looking down from above.
If the helicopter on the large platform flew away and a "Umbrella" logo appeared, Ye Zi Xiao would really suspect he had transmigrated, into the world of Resident Evil.
"What do we do now?"
Tang Ke Ke asked anxiously.
"Damn it!"
Ye Zi Xiao said with a cold face, "It seems our guess was right. This is definitely a large-scale clandestine research base. The Wu Kingdom definitely didn't do this; the Wu Kingdom doesn't have this capability."
"Then it must be the Allied Nations!"
Tang Ke Ke also finally became serious.
"The passage we entered might just be a regular channel for transporting laborers. Commander Shan Mao must have come by helicopter. However, the ceiling..."
Ye Zi Xiao said, looking up.
Only then did he realize the ceiling was metal?
This meant that the top of the mountain could be closed!
"What a grand undertaking!"
Ye Zi Xiao exclaimed, then continued, "It's too far to jump to the platform. Let's go down the steps first. No one speak out of turn. Let's get a general idea of the situation first."
"Okay."
"Let's go."
"Everyone be careful!"
The four, wrapped in their military overcoats, walked down the steps on the sheer rock face of the bottomless pit at a leisurely pace. The path was dangerous, but as long as no one pushed them, it wasn't easy to fall.
After walking about fifty meters.
They were now level with the large platform.
As the lights grew brighter, Ye Zi Xiao became increasingly astonished. The structure in the bottomless pit indeed resembled the Hive, and the steps on the pit walls had many passages leading to the Hive.
In other words.
Countless bridges led to the Hive.
Some were for people.
Some could even accommodate large trucks!
This shocking secret base could not have been built in just one or two years. The research conducted here was likely not just about mutant weapons, but perhaps even more terrifying extinction-level weapons.
"Hey, which department are you from?"
Suddenly, a calling voice was heard.
Two people walked over from the nearest bridge.
