The agents guarding the generator hall imdiately directed the remaining three through the communication channel, "He’s wary of that device, which ans our equipnt can detect him. You must secure the device!"
The three agents imdiately covered for each other, back-to-back, and hurriedly rushed over to pick up the device.
However, the bearded elder shook his head gently. "The device is no use..." Before his voice even faded, a patch of "liquid" suddenly appeared under the feet of the agent holding the device, entangling one of his feet, then pulling his entire body in!
The steel floor beneath the agent’s feet had sinisterly transford into a liquid.
Once the agent was completely subrged, the liquid bizarrely reverted to a solid state. The agent was sealed within the steel floor, instantly silenced, with a ripple forming on the surface that outlined his face.
BOOM! BOOM!
Two abilities from Profession Holders were consecutively unleashed onto the floor, but they hit nothing.
The remaining two were beginning to panic. Inside the generator hall, the bearded elder shook his head and commanded, "Modrolov, go and assist them. That kid’s newly awakened Profession is not ’Hell Titan’ but ’Multistate Special Agent.’ Help Shep and the others; they can’t handle him."
Gong Shuxu’s expression changed. During the invasion, he had briefly clashed with this Modrolov and knew the man was at the Sixth Energy Level.
Modrolov nodded and turned to stride away. He himself was a ’Hell Titan,’ a Sixth Energy Level expert who could cover thirty yards in a single step, charging towards his target like a humanoid beast.
As soon as Modrolov left, the bearded elder’s expression instantly beca grave. "Retreat imdiately!"
When Chen Gu fought back against the ambushers, the bearded elder was certain they had been discovered by Aviloya. There was no point staying any longer; the mother of all terrors was likely on her way to kill them.
He was "rely" at the Seventh Energy Level and lacked the confidence to withstand Aviloya’s sword.
The others were taken aback but quickly followed the order. As for Modrolov and his group... they were, of course, the severed tail to ensure survival.
Without a Sixth Energy Level individual to attract Aviloya’s attention, they had no hope of escape.
The bearded elder said, "Open all the escape routes."
The reserve base had multiple exits, the longest being an underground tunnel stretching for a hundred kiloters.
"Take all the hostages; they can be used to negotiate with Aviloya if necessary."
"Split into four groups, pick an escape route at random, and after escaping, head to Point 6 to regroup."
Everyone imdiately took action, splitting into four groups and quickly departing with their respective hostages. The bearded elder did not join any group or take any hostages; he copied Dr. ng Ji’s research data and disappeared alone to so unknown place.
Modrolov transford in advance, becoming a giant, and rampaged through the corridors. The spacious tunnel could barely accommodate his size, causing him to continuously crash into facilities along the way. In a fury, he smashed everything blocking his path. Like a heavy tank, he crushed all obstacles until he reached the battle site, only to find the fight had already concluded.
Chen Gu was nowhere to be seen, and two more bodies lay on the ground.
Modrolov’s eyes were blood-red, flashing with cunning as he hamred the surrounding walls with his fists, letting out successive roars as though searching for Chen Gu’s whereabouts.
Chen Gu seed to glide like a ghost throughout the base, but he was not without purpose. Aviloya had already sent a second ssage containing the base’s highest security codes. Now, Chen Gu, like Dr. ng Ji, possessed full command authority over the entire base.
He had redirected the base’s surveillance feeds to himself and saw that all the escape routes had been opened.
"’Trying to run?’ Chen Gu sneered inwardly. If they really manage to escape, Aviloya will be too ashad to call herself ’Valkyrie’ anymore!"
These escape routes don’t have any surveillance equipnt, Chen Gu noted. I don’t know which route, or routes, the invading enemies have chosen.
After a brief thought, he swiftly sent out several ssages. One was for Aviloya, reporting the current situation inside the base without any suggestions; as Director-General, Aviloya naturally had her own decisions to make.
The other ssages were for the school, asking the teachers to imdiately rush to the exits of the escape routes. A large number of powerful individuals were needed to block these exits, capture all the invading enemies, and minimize losses as much as possible.
Then, Chen Gu switched to his own Profession, ’Radiation Missionary,’ and used ’Mind Belief’ to sense his surroundings, choosing the most promising escape route to pursue.
They’re definitely fleeing in batches, Chen Gu surmised. They’re hoping so will slip through Aviloya’s pursuit and bring back the spoils from this attack.
I don’t want anything else, Chen Gu thought. I just want to delay the enemies and buy ti to rescue Chu Zheng. After all, she’s a student I personally trained.
But just as he activated ’Mind Belief,’ his attention was not on the fleeing enemies but was drawn to another place inside the base.
On the monitor, a gigantic beast—a ’Hell Titan’—was rampaging.
A thought struck Chen Gu, and he quickly retraced his steps, still using ’Plasma Stealth’ to approach the Sixth Energy Level ’Hell Titan.’
While in ’Plasma Stealth,’ Chen Gu’s voice, thin and ethereal, said, "I have cut off all audio channels from the surveillance devices." Modrolov, seemingly not hearing him, continued to charge around violently, "searching" for his target.
Amidst his roars, so mumbled words could be heard: "Let’s start with my conditions: find a powerful individual to help stage a scene where I die fighting valiantly."
Chen Gu imdiately agreed, "No problem."
"Afterwards, get my family out."
"No problem."
Chen Gu’s quick agreent made Modrolov sowhat suspicious. "Can you make that decision? What’s your position in the Bureau of Mystic Security?"
"Senior Advisor," Chen Gu replied quickly. "Besides, I’m a student of the school Principal. Even if the Bureau can’t do it, I can ask the Principal to intervene."
Modrolov was reassured. "I need an official pardon."
"You can’t expect to get away without paying a price. I estimate you’ll beco a restricted special advisor, cooperating with the Bureau of Mystic Security on so clandestine tasks."
Modrolov could accept this. "Deal!"
Chen Gu imdiately asked, "Which route might Chu Zheng have taken?"
As Modrolov roared and caused widespread destruction, he pondered for a mont. "Barolyov—our operation commander this ti—is selfish and cunning. He’ll definitely choose to desert everyone and escape alone. He wouldn’t take any hostages."
"Chu Zheng is your second individual with multiple Professions, and she’s weak, making her a pri hostage. Since Barolyov won’t take hostages, she will surely fall into the hands of Beschenco, who is the strongest among the others. He’s a Sixth Energy Level ’Amphibious Agent.’ The exit of escape route number 11 is in a large river; he’ll definitely choose that one."
Chen Gu quietly left, heading straight for escape route number 11.
