"Captain Tang, the ammunition downstairs has run out!"
As Tang Li was clearing the upper floors, Lu Wan from Base F found her clone and informed her about the situation downstairs.
"Have them retreat to the laboratory and take Tanaka and Watanabe as hostages. Hold on a little longer, I'll be down soon."
Tang Li also heard the sounds of engagement downstairs gradually thinning. She conveyed this to Lu Wan through her clone from Base F.
The ammunition she had left in the bathroom wasn't much. Calculating the time, it was indeed almost depleted.
However, Tang Li did not stop her actions of clearing the upper floors.
After roughly securing the upper floors, she led her people downwards.
During this time, people repeatedly arrived on the rooftop in flying motorcycles and descended. But without exception, they were subdued halfway.
Without Tang Li, their memories could not be temporarily altered.
However, Tang Li had left the implantable brain-computer interface sockets that Song Pinxuan had given her, which could temporarily put these people into a dormant state.
Upon reaching the previous floors, the people who had been gathered in the stairwell had already moved into the rooms.
This was advantageous for Tang Li's operation.
While having people block the reinforcements coming from downstairs, Tang Li threw electromagnetic pulse grenades one by one into the rooms on this floor.
Instantly, the security personnel of the Holy Light Organization, who had been confronting the two brain-controlled robots, all fell to the ground, twitching.
After Tang Li had her people subdue them, she then proceeded to modify their memories one by one.
Soon, everyone on this floor also pledged allegiance to Tang Li.
Tanaka and Watanabe, seeing the third Tang Li appear before them, and then looking at the two previous clones of Tang Li, were shocked and incredulous.
"You... Who exactly are you?"
"Are you clones? Which mysterious organization are you from?"
Seeing this, Tanaka and Watanabe's first reaction was: Tang Li was a biological weapon mass-produced by a mysterious organization, similar to the Holy Light Organization.
This would not only explain her special physique but also why three identical "Tang Li's" appeared before them.
Hearing their questions, Tang Li felt both amused and exasperated.
"Your imaginations are truly wild!"
With that said, without further explanation, she casually made a hole in each of their heads.
They had completely lost any further use, and keeping them was pointless. Tang Li had no interest in torturing them and directly put them out of their misery.
"You all go back and rest for a while. When the main force arrives, there will be a major battle!"
After dealing with Tanaka and Watanabe, Tang Li instructed, and then recalled the two wireless brain-controlled robots to her space.
Then, she descended all the way down, roughly securing the entire building.
Following the same pattern, she took control of the entire biological research institute.
All those who did not have the implantable brain-computer interface installed were immediately executed, their corpses collected into her space and directly recycled into energy.
All those who had the implantable brain-computer interface installed, whether they were from the Holy Light Organization's R-country branch or Chinese citizens controlled by the Holy Light Organization, also had their memories altered.
She advanced unstoppably, as if in an empty realm.
This endeavor took several hours.
Tang Li also replicated various weapons and equipment from her space, including armored vehicles and attack helicopters – all the rewards and equipment that the "United Team" had acquired or rented from the Mercenary Guild over the past three months.
She firmly occupied the entire biological research institute.
However, after occupying the biological research institute, Tang Li transitioned from offense to defense, awaiting the arrival of the main force.
Upon receiving the news, the Holy Light Organization's D-city headquarters quickly dispatched armed forces to surround the biological research institute, but they dared not attack.
"Our Elixir of Longevity, and the long-lived creatures used to create the Elixir of Longevity, are all in the biological research institute. We absolutely cannot attack!"
"If we don't attack, are we just going to watch them occupy the biological research institute? If the biological research institute is occupied by them, will these things still be ours?"
"Vice President Tokugawa, what should we do now? Please give us a decision!"
The Japanese people at the D-city headquarters were also in a panic, unsure of what to do.
None of them had ever imagined that the biological research institute would fall without even giving them time to react, and that the people inside had all defected.
"The most pressing matter now is to figure out who occupied the biological research institute, why they occupied it, and how they managed to occupy it so quickly."
"Let's put off the attack for now. Send someone in to see if we can negotiate."
The person speaking was Vice President Tokugawa of the Holy Light Organization's R-country branch, who had clashed with Chairman Yang several times.
As soon as he finished speaking, the liaison officer sent a communication.
"The people occupying the biological research institute have sent a few people out!"
Tang Li was also waiting for the main force to arrive, so she sent out a few people from among the Japanese researchers, putting on a facade of wanting to negotiate to stall for time.
