Chapter 186: No Choice

When the explosion occurred, Liu Wei felt a slight vibration and stopped underwater. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Kotone Takeuchi, who was following him, also quickly slowed down and leaned over. After making eye contact, the two continued to swim along the East River channel toward the strait north of Long Island. Although both of them were given "shark gills" after remodeling, they did not have the organs that occurred underwater, so they could not communicate in words underwater.
At this time, inside the experimental base, the FOS fighters blew up a small hole in the isolation door of the biochemical laboratory.
Although the reformed warriors guarding the biochemical laboratory immediately opened fire, they were unable to stop the smoke grenades stuffed inside. The tempered glass on the gate was in the way at this point.
Because blasting in a confined space generates a high pressure, it is necessary to control the scale of blasting and not blast open the door as in an open field. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Mobei Wolf had to endure his surname and let the demoman among the FOS fighters carry out the blasting operation.
Blow up a small hole in the door panel first, just to stuff the smoke bomb in and create chaos.
In confined spaces, the smoke disperses quickly and can last longer.
Affected by the smoke, the reformed warriors in the laboratory had no idea what the other party was doing, so they could only fire blindly. Because the ammunition was not sufficient in the first place, the firepower of the modified fighters was not intensive.
About two minutes later, a second explosion occurred.
The detonation point was not on the gate, but on the rock above the gate, directly opposite the turning mechanism of the latch, and the high-temperature jet of directional detonation cut the latch of the gate.
Before the smoke of the explosion had cleared, four FOS fighters who had been reinvented rushed up and lifted the gate.
The door panel was very heavy, about three tons, and the four retransformation warriors used all their strength to barely lift it, revealing a crack in the door that was about thirty centimeters long.
Miyuki Takahara and the other four female warriors were petite and got in directly through the crack in the door.
Mobei Wolf looked at it and didn't try, because the crack in the door was too narrow for him to get into.
There was a scream of ghosts crying wolves in the laboratory, and the suppressive fire of the American commandos became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared completely.
After asking two more re-engineered warriors to go up and lift the door panel, Mobei Wolf bent down and got into the laboratory, using a strong enough steel table to get stuck in the crack of the door.
By the time he entered, the battle was over.
The eleven remodeled soldiers who stayed in the biochemical laboratory were all killed, and none of them were spared. Two female warriors were guarding the entrance to the next lab, and the other two had already entered the passage.
After letting the FOS warriors search the laboratory and bring back useful information, Mobei Wolf led the team into the passage.
This time, he was still one step too late, and the U.S. assault force had retreated to the pathology lab ahead, and closed the door, which was also reinforced with tempered glass and steel bars.
There is no better way but to organize the blasting again.
At this time, Colonel Stark was also dumbfounded.
When the attackers discovered that the attackers had placed a blasting device on the gate, Stark knew that the sturdy-looking gate would not be able to stop them.
The Colonel wasn't stupid enough to stay and die, leaving only a squad of remodeled fighters.
Until reinforcements arrived, the only thing the colonel could do was stall for time.
The battle that began to take place proved his judgment. When they only faced four opponents, and they were four female warriors who did not use guns, the eleven re-reformed fighters were powerless to fight back, and they didn't even have the ability to resist, and they were all killed within a minute.
Stark could see very clearly through the surveillance cameras set up in the corner of the lab.
The four female warriors were astonishingly fast, much higher than the reformed warriors, and were unusually agile, easily avoiding the bullets fired at them. What's even worse is that the strength of the four female warriors is also very great, and one female warrior even split the reformed warrior who raised a gun to resist with a knife!
How much effort does it take?
Not to mention that those transformation warriors didn't have so much strength, Stark knew very well that even if it was him, he wouldn't be able to stop the knife.
Seeing the process of the battle, there was also Professor Jacob who remained in the rehabilitation center.
Although he was only a scientific researcher, not a combatant, he already knew from the engagement that the attack on the laboratory was a group of super soldiers who were even more powerful than the reformed soldiers.
Those who can surpass the transformed fighters can only be the transformed fighters, and the fighters who have undergone deeper transformations.
So, who are they exactly?
Only one thing is certain, they are certainly not Americans.
There are not many countries that have the ability to create a modified warrior, and even fewer countries that can transform a warrior who is even more powerful than the "future soldier".
The key is not investment, but whether there are senior scientists who know how to transform technology.
There is only one scientist Jacob knows who has been able to do so thoroughly, and that is Professor Yuan Changqing, who has worked with him for several years.
Could it be that those super soldiers are Yuan Changqing's masterpieces?
Although Jacob didn't want to believe it, because in his opinion, after Yuan Changqing returned to China, he would definitely not have a superior research environment like staying in the United States, as well as a huge amount of political investment, and it was impossible to get enough excellent assistants, but the facts were in front of him, and Jacob couldn't help but believe it.
If it weren't for Yuan Changqing, who would have the ability to make such significant achievements in genetic modification projects?
As Jacob pondered the question, Colonel Stark rushed over.
"Professor!"
Hearing the Colonel's greeting, Jacob came to his senses.
"You see?"
Jacob nodded, looking a little frustrated.
"I've been in touch with General Robert, and he's trying to figure out how to get us weapons and equipment, but we have to hold off those guys until we get reinforcements."
"But ......"
"Professor!" Stark stepped forward, looked Jacob in the eye, and said, "You know, the ground has been taken over by the attackers, the undersea tunnel has been blown up, and we have lost contact with the outside world. If we can't stop them, we'll all have to die here! ”
Jacob shuddered, and although he had lived to be more than sixty years old, he did not want to die.
"We are not afraid of death, but we cannot die until we have completed our mission." Stark grabbed Professor Jacob's arm. "Professor, you've got to find a way to get us ahead of those guys. Whatever the solution, no matter how risky, we must be made stronger. ”
"But ......"
"It's nothing, we have to get stronger."
"Colonel!" Jacob let out a long sigh and said, "There is a way, and it is very risky, but we don't have time, any renovation takes time, very much time." You also know that when the transformation begins, you will be incapacitated, and you will not even have a chance to escape. ”
"How much time does it take?"
"Days, maybe dozens of days."
"What!?"
"I can increase the speed of the retrofit, but the risk is very high and the success rate is minimal."
"How long can we last if we don't renovate?"
"It depends on how fast they advance, maybe more than ten hours. If they had mastered the layout of the base and gone straight to the transformation center, it might only be a few hours. ”
Stark gritted his teeth and said, "In a few hours, reinforcements will definitely not arrive, we must take a risk." ”
"But ......"
"How long will it take to carry out the second renovation as quickly as possible?"
"One day...... No more than two days. ”
Stark let out a long breath and asked, "There's no other way to get into the Renovation Center than through the underpass, right?" ”
"There are also ventilation pipes, and the drainage pipes are very small, and those women can't get in."
"I'm going to plant an explosive device in the pathology lab, blow up the whole lab, and blow up another passage to buy us two days."
Jacob was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "If there is a large-scale explosion, maybe the entire experimental center will collapse." ”
Stark glanced at the professor and said nothing.
"We're underground in Manhattan, it's full of high-rise buildings, as long as the ground is ......"
"Professor, the Renovation Center is directly below Central Park, and there are no buildings on it."
Hearing this, Jacob shut his mouth.
"Is there a better way?" Stark smiled wryly, "There's no other choice, just do as I tell you." I'll leave half of my men behind and let them deal with the attackers. You'll have to get ready to get started, and once you've blown up the passage, we'll be reinvented. ”
"Colonel, I have to warn you, we have never done a remodeling, and the success rate must be very low."
"Whenever we have a chance to succeed, we have to try, and it's better than staying here and waiting to die."
"In two days, maybe the reinforcements sent by General Robert will arrive."
"Do you think reinforcements will arrive in time?"
Jacob was stunned for a moment, then sighed.
The attackers were a group of people who were even more powerful than the reformed fighters, and even if Admiral Robert opened the ground passage, he might not be able to send reinforcements. Besides, if the attackers can capture Manhattan Island, there will be a way to stop the US military and make the US authorities fall into the trap.
In this case, counting on reinforcements is the most stupid idea.
"Professor, there is hope, if only a glimmer of hope."
Jacob let out a long breath and said, "I'll be ready as soon as possible, and when you block the passage to the Renovation Center, you need to protect the backup power center, preferably to blow up the passage." Retransformation requires a lot of power, and with the current power supply, you can only remodify up to five fighters, so you only need to leave five people behind, and all the rest will be sent to deal with the enemy and buy us more time. ”
Stark nodded and said, "Is there anything else?" ”
"That's all for now, I'll let you know when I'm ready."
"I'll stay here."
Jacob was stunned for a moment, probably not understanding what Stark meant.
"I'm going to be the first to be reinvented, and if even I can't get through it, the hope of others is even slimmer."
Jacob sighed and said nothing more. In the transformation, Stark performed the best and had the strongest mental will, and what was needed for the retransformation was the spiritual will.
