To ensure everyone's condition was optimal, Han Lang suggested they each take a spirit-replenishing pill to recover during their journey.
However, as they approached the base from a distance, the guards there also spotted them.
Immediately, the personnel became agitated, and everyone quickly moved to their designated posts.
Smith and Allen, in particular, took to the air, intercepting them from afar.
"Heh, you're finally here? We've been waiting for you for a long time! Haha..."
Smith laughed triumphantly, his words filled with mockery.
Even though Han Lang and the others couldn't understand what he was saying, they could sense the contempt in his tone.
Ma Long was the first to react to his attitude and immediately cursed in the Xia Kingdom's language.
"What are you being so arrogant about, you white-haired devil! I'll send you to see the King of Hell soon!"
Smith didn't understand the Xia Kingdom's language, but Allen seemed to.
With a dark expression, he translated Ma Long's words at Smith's request.
In an instant, his face turned as black as a pig's liver.
However, he quickly recovered and continued to smile condescendingly.
"Heh, as far as I know, the King of Hell is the god of life and death in your Xia Kingdom. This is neither your Xia Kingdom, nor am I one of your Xia Kingdom people, so I'm afraid the King of Hell can't manage this much. It's you who will surely be sent to see your compatriot Gou Tuizhi today! Hahaha..."
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but frown slightly.
Smith's words seemed to indicate he didn't care about Gou Tuizhi's sacrifice.
But after all, they were all superhumans working for Dr. Sim.
Even without emotional attachment, shouldn't they have some sense of shared misfortune?
Thinking of this, Shan Nan suddenly had an idea and asked in a foreign language.
"It seems that Gou Tuizhi was left isolated and helpless because you deliberately did it! Otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up like this!"
"Hahaha..."
As soon as Shan Nan finished speaking, Smith and Allen burst into laughter.
"A mere SSS-class superhuman, worth us saving? When the Doctor sent him to guard the new base, the purpose was to lure you there, to ensure the safety of the new base. You don't really think we'd consider a Xia Kingdom person a companion, do you? Hahaha..."
Smith's indifferent attitude annoyed everyone, and they also felt it was a pity for Gou Tuizhi.
Although they were in a state of hostility, considering only this aspect, they felt immense regret.
"Alas, this is the consequence of blindly admiring foreign things! You give your all, but others only treat you like a dog!"
Liu Xiaoxiao could also understand Smith's words, so she couldn't help but sigh.
However, Shan Nan's focus wasn't on this matter.
He quickly retorted.
"SSS-class superhuman? Heh... you white-haired devils are truly naive. If Gou Tuizhi only had SSS-class strength, would it have taken us so much time? Would it have given you so much ample time to prepare your defenses? Or perhaps, you have no idea that his strength has completely surpassed yours! Hahaha..."
Shan Nan deliberately spoke with an air of nonchalance.
But after hearing this, Smith and Allen were greatly shocked.
"You're spouting nonsense! How could we not know Gou Tuizhi's strength? For him to surpass us? That's simply wishful thinking! Impossible!"
"Exactly. Stop making excuses for your own combat plan's shortcomings. In my opinion, the reason it took you so long to deal with Gou Tuizhi is simply because your action plan was not thorough enough, causing you to be obstructed by the army at that base! And you say Gou Tuizhi's strength is too great? Bah!"
After hearing their indignant curses, Shan Nan not only wasn't angry but felt a surge of joy in his heart.
He quickly turned back and quietly said to Han Lang and the others.
"These two white-haired devils don't seem very smart. From their words, I've gathered that they haven't experienced a surge in strength like Gou Tuizhi, and they seem completely unaware that Xia Kingdom cultivators can be transformed into high-level superhumans. When we fight later, these two should pose no pressure!"
Hearing this, Han Lang and the others were naturally overjoyed.
If the strength of these two superhumans was inferior to Gou Tuizhi's, then Shan Nan and Liu Xiaoxiao alone could basically handle them.
If no more high-level superhumans appeared in the base, then Han Lang and the others would only need to clear out the base's grunts and then find Dr. Sim to kill him.
"This is great! It seems this mission isn't as complicated as we thought!"
"Heh, yeah. We might have been intimidated by Gou Tuizhi's sudden surge in strength before. We can still face these superhumans with a normal mindset!"
Shan Nan still couldn't forget to remind them.
"Don't underestimate them, and don't be careless. Even a lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit, and we still don't know the situation inside the base!"
Being reprimanded by Shan Nan, everyone immediately put away their complacency and became serious again.
Meanwhile, Smith and Allen on the other side seemed completely impatient.
They roared furiously.
"Damn Xia Kingdom people, what are you muttering about? Don't you think you're looking down on us too much?"
Ma Long hadn't fully recovered from the good news and, after hearing Liu Xiaoxiao's translation, he burst into laughter.
"Haha... look, these two white-haired devils are getting anxious. Haha... do they still think that with just the two of them, mere weaklings, we need to be on high alert? They really think too highly of themselves! Haha..."
Ma Long's wild mockery completely enraged Smith and Allen.
They even glared at Ma Long with puffed-out chests and roared.
"You damn Xia Kingdom person! If I don't skin you alive and tear you limb from limb today, I won't be able to quell my hatred! Allen, go, give the order to blast these sharp-tongued Xia Kingdom people to death!"
Allen was also extremely angered at this moment. Hearing Smith's words, he immediately did as he was told, stepping back slightly with Smith, and waved his hand towards the rear of the base.
In just a breath, missiles, tank shells, and a series of other thermal weapons were fired towards Han Lang and the others.
Han Lang and the others were somewhat surprised.
They weren't worried that these shells would pose any threat to them, but rather surprised by the speed at which these shells arrived.
What caught them even more off guard was.
Before this wave of shells was completely dealt with, the next wave had already arrived in succession.
Shan Nan, while frantically dealing with the artillery fire, shouted to Han Lang and the others.
"These White Elephant Kingdom troops must have made perfect deployments, otherwise these shells wouldn't be so closely coordinated. And to deal with us, they must have made thorough preparations. We can't let them wear us down in this way; we need to find a way to break into the base!"
