Chapter 458: Chapter 397: The Tragic Scene on the Periphery of “Base Number Five”._2
Sixth Level Personnel were about to say a few words to encourage everyone, but the next second, he and everyone present felt a sudden heaviness in their hearts, realizing that the scene before them had darkened.
The area had inexplicably beco damp, and the surrounding walls were covered in countless mold spots.
Drip, drip…
The sticky footsteps, as if walking on water, ca one after another, from far to near.
With its approach, a rich and unbearable stench began to pervade the air, like flesh that had been left to rot in a refrigerator for over a dozen days before being discovered.
And the already damp space began to fill with a faint mist.
Within the mist, silhouettes like wronged souls fluttered to and fro…
“No way, this can’t be, Director Chen…” an employee said while keeping a close eye on the statue and noticing the changes in the air, imdiately realizing sothing.
“Damn, controlling ghosts, fungal corruption, these abilities…”
Sixth Level Personnel understood what he ant; such powers were only possessed by his leader, “Divine Strike,” who had reached the Seventh Level.
As expected, at that mont, a figure suddenly appeared at the doorway.
A figure with flesh and skin in advanced stages of decay.
His skin had vanished, exposing the white bones, but oddly enough, his internal organs were still in place and writhing as if they were still functioning normally…
“The leader has lost control…” The Sixth Level Personnel’s heart grew cold upon seeing this.
Earlier, the leader had left alone to divert so extrely troubleso anomalies, and in less than ten minutes, he had returned in this state…
“Ugh…”
Several clerical staff who had fled to this place finally couldn’t hold back, and as their gaze shifted away, they began to vomit.
They were not combat personnel and didn’t have as strong a psychological resilience.
But before they could throw up anything, all of a sudden, their bodies stiffened, their faces twisted horribly as if they had seen sothing terrifying, and then, they all dropped dead, their blood flowing towards the statue…
The Sixth Level Personnel couldn’t worry about that; he could only keep his eyes on the statue and pray that the leader would leave quickly.
However, to everyone’s despair, the highly decayed figure didn’t head straight through the containnt unit door but slowly turned around at the entrance and staggered towards them, murmuring to himself,
“Stand guard, protect, stand guard, protect…”
Instinctively, it entered the containnt unit.
“Damn…” The Sixth Level Personnel cursed under his breath, realizing that the worst-case scenario had occurred.
Although from that indistinct murmur, he guessed that the leader had returned here based on a strong sense of duty present at the mont of his death, this didn’t bode well…
Upon its arrival, it made contact with the cabbage-shaped winged sculpture.
On the damp ground, multiple pale arms reached out, grabbing at the statue, while in the mist, the souls also launched their attack…
Its targets weren’t limited to the statue but included other people as well.
“Prepare for battle! We must hold this position, every second counts! Rember, during the fight, keep your eyes on the statue, and give it priority…”
The Sixth Level Personnel clenched his teeth and raised his broadsword.
A phantom image, like an ancient warlord, slowly erged behind him.
Both the statue and his forr leader possessed wide-ranging attack thods. It might be manageable to deal with one, but now that they were combined…
They might not be able to bring each other down in a short ti, but it spelled disaster for the rest of them.
The Sixth Level Personnel kept his eyes on the statue while he began to hack away at the arms at his feet.
However, it wasn’t long before a flash of red light passed, and the phantom image on him collapsed…
“Great, sothing else has co in…”
The Sixth Level Personnel was stunned, then his face filled with despair as he saw a strange scarecrow, which had sohow entered the room and targeted him for an attack.
Moreover, as his gaze strayed, he was struck with an intense sense of terror…
He had triggered the statue’s attack pattern!
“It’s over…”
In an instant, the surroundings went pitch black, with seemingly countless hideous creatures moving to engulf him.
But just when he thought it was the end for him, the eerie and terrifying atmosphere suddenly shattered…
“What’s happened?” The Sixth Level Personnel and several official mbers were puzzled.
They could feel sothing was coming; its presence had yet to arrive, but its montum had already dissipated the lethal dark atmosphere from before…
Without further thought, they suddenly saw the ceiling above the containnt unit turn red and lt.
In less than a second, a torrent of fla poured in from the opening.
A figure shrouded in flas plumted down directly onto the out-of-control Level Seven Personnel.
And just like that…
They saw their leader instantly carbonized into ash.
“Is this… is this support? Who’s this? Which Eighth Level Personnel has co…”
Everyone’s spirits lifted; this level of power was sothing only an Eighth Level Personnel could achieve!
Yet before they could continue pondering, Colin looked around, raised his chin slightly, and looked at the Sixth Level Personnel, “What’s happened here?”
Hearing the question, the Sixth Level Personnel began to respond but suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and shouted to Colin, “Watch out! It’s absorbed too much blood and entered the Second Order!”
Just then, the grey cabbage stone statue, now covered in flas, saw all its wings suddenly co to life, nurous wings wrapping around Colin as if trying to engulf him within…
Although this creature’s threat level was considered moderate, its terror rating was not to be underestimated.
