The command room was filled with the stench of blood. The only source of light ca from faint sparks.
The site director lowered his head, not daring to look up at all.
He glanced down, searching, and stopped when he saw a pair of pale legs and an unusually tall and thin figure standing in front of him.
He halted.
He knew that once he saw that guy’s face, he would be killed regardless of his combat prowess.
He took out a blood-soaked white robe, slowly raised it, and covered the other party’s head, wrapping it around two tis and tying a tight knot.
He didn’t need to worry about the guy’s dissatisfaction. As long as he didn’t see his face, he was relatively docile.
Only after making sure he wouldn’t see that guy’s face, the site director dared to lift his head.
"With that, the shy one is temporarily contained," he murmured.
The command room suffered heavy losses. In addition to the traitor who had deliberately looked at the shy person’s image, several researchers accidentally saw the shy person’s face, and their outco was naturally tragic.
"Just leave him here for now. As long as no one sees his face, he won’t act," the site director asked, "has the image been deleted?"
A researcher replied, "The backup system has been activated. There will be no more photos or videos of him."
"What are the other containnt units’ losses?"
"...Terrible. Several containnt rooms have been destroyed by the shy person, and at least eight dangerous anomalies have escaped containnt. And, it appears that the shy person has also sabotaged the containnt operation against 682. The invaders have entered the site and are engaged in battle with security personnel," the researcher responded, "We have already sent a distress signal. The nearest mobile task force is on their way."
"A mobile task force... Doesn’t our site also have one?" The site director’s eyes flashed coldly, "Deploy Mobile Task Force Oga-7. Suppress all escaped anomalies, kill all the Splitters!"
"In this situation, you want to activate Able?" The researcher’s face turned pale, "What if he loses control?"
Right now, it’s chaos outside. Using one dangerous anomaly against another could spell disaster...
"No, he has great respect for the strong ones he recognizes. In this situation, he is rather reliable. The stronger the enemy, the happier he is," said the site director with a sigh, "Besides, even if we don’t allow it, he can’t bear it any longer, can he?"
The site director was right.
Deep within the site, a stone coffin was slowly opening.
A tall man erged from the stone coffin.
Olive-skinned, covered in mysterious inscriptions and tattoos.
Black hair stread down, and his grey eyes revealed an intense desire for battle.
"Captain, several anomalies have escaped containnt," a team mber tentatively spoke. This guy wasn’t easy to get along with. He indeed respected his opponents, but if the attack target didn’t et his expectations, he would get very unhappy.
Sotis, he would even attack his teammates, especially when he had just been resurrected. When he didn’t have the safety device on his neck, he was extrely dangerous.
"I know. It’s quite lively here," the man laughed in response, apparently in a good mood.
Then, he looked in a certain direction and let out an exuberant laugh.
"This is really interesting, so many powerful guys have shown up."
...
anwhile, Li Changhe and the others had entered the site. After passing through a narrow underground passage, they arrived at the containnt site.
The site’s corridors were in a ss. The Splitters hadn’t even exchanged fire with anyone yet, but they had already seen several corpses lying in the hallway.
It must have been the work of so anomalies.
According to the Splitters’ commander, their comrades inside the site had already lured the Shy Guy out and successfully dismantled the internal monitoring and security capabilities of the site.
It made sense. Once the anomaly Shy Guy broke containnt, its abilities would easily cause a series of problems.
Fortunately, this problem was for the enemy players to worry about.
Soon, the Splitters split up, planning to move separately to different target containnt rooms. They wanted to take enough anomalies as quickly as possible.
anwhile, in the consciousness of Li Changhe and the others, the "Task Progress" changed.
[Contain anomalies for your faction within the ti limit][Currently contained: 0][Remaining ti: 5 hours]
In reality, there was less ti than that, as the mobile task forces were already en route to assist the site. If the Splitters outside couldn’t hold on, they might not have 5 hours.
Li Changhe and Big Iron Pestle also felt a sense of unease at the sa ti.
"Why do I feel like we’re being watched by so creep?" Big Iron Pestle spoke up. This was surprising for him since he lived and worked quite a dull life and rarely attracted attention.
"I have the sa feeling," replied Li Changhe, while using his Hawk Eye Magic Eye to observe traces in the hallway, "Is there any such creep among the anomalies?"
"I think there are a few similar ones. They would harass their targets..." Mr. Bai recalled so, shook his head and said, "But we don’t have any feeling about it."
Both he and Little Drill Wind did not notice any reaction. The four of them had been together all along, so if they were affected by an anomaly’s effect, it was impossible for only two to be affected.
"Let’s ignore it for now," Li Changhe scanned the surroundings. From the marks on the floor and walls, he inferred a tall and thin humanoid creature had moved quickly through the corridor. That should be an anomaly.
"If the Splitters’ plan is correct, it should still be in the site’s command room. It’s quite far from here, so we don’t have to worry about encountering it for now."
"So next..."
"We’ll follow their plan and go to the fourth floor containnt room to acquire that strange item," Li Changhe replied, "After all, we still don’t know what’s inside this site. If we co across any survivors on the way, Old Bai can try to pry so information."
That was the safest approach, completing the task while also gaining benefits.
So, the four of them progressed through the dark hallway, seeing many corpses along the way. When they reached a stairwell,
Li Changhe and the others’ faces changed slightly.
They heard footsteps coming from inside the stairwell.
The other party was very careful, the footsteps were light, but it was not difficult for the players to detect.
The four instantly raised their guns and aid at the stairwell entrance.
The next second, the steel door of the stairwell was pushed open.
Behind the door, a man and a woman looked at the four with surprise.
From their clothing, the woman was a researcher from the containnt site.
The other one was an orange-clothed person.
For a mont,
Both sides fell into a strange silence.
