Chapter 2133: Ash Annihilation at Dawn (65)
A secret base beneath the depths of the sea, lonely and silent, shrouded in darkness on all sides, with only a few lights barely enough to illuminate the corridors, these small tubes still hung knee-high on the walls, and there were only one lamp every three yards, which were useless except to illuminate the floor, and they could not even illuminate the faces of the people walking in the corridors.
"So quiet. Vivien whispered, even she tried to keep her voice to a minimum, and in this quiet environment, the voice became extremely harsh.
"Maybe it's because it's lax. Palamides replied in a lower voice, "The guys here think that they are in a secret base in the deep sea, and it is impossible for anyone to invade such a place, and it is now that it is night, their garrison will be so unbearable." But it's also good, and it's easier for us to move. "
At this time, Palamides was almost walking on tiptoe, walking without sound at all. As a leopard man, he has pads on his feet like other cats, and his paws can be retracted into his toes. As an emerald knight, he was even able to adjust his body slightly, making the pads on his feet softer and more elastic than usual, so that every time he stepped on the next step, the impact of his feet on the ground was completely absorbed by the pads, so to speak, there was no sound of footsteps at all. Compared to him, although Vivien also relied on silenced equipment and stealth magic as much as possible to move forward quietly, she was never as quiet and low-key as Palamides.
"Then again, you should be telling me the truth, right?" After turning the corner of a corridor and making sure that there were no patrolling enemies on the other side, Palamides and his wife began to talk: "What is the matter with this invasion of this deep-sea base? I heard that your research institute has been destroyed? Are you here for revenge?"
"So to speak. Vivien, who walked behind the Leopard Warriors, replied, "Great Britain is building a ship, an exploration ship that can take us to the Dark Continent of the East. The final phase of research on the exploration ship was completed in my research facility, and this is when the enemy came to grab the ship. I suspect that there are moles in the Knights of Great Britain who have leaked the news of this classified research project. "
"That's not good. Palamides echoed casually.
"But it's just me and Lianyin in the institute. The ship also prepared a substitute for them to grab. The mentally retarded were completely tricked and stole the replacement ship as if it were the real thing, unaware of the * and tracking devices I had planted in the fake one. What happens next is what you see right in front of your eyes. "
"Awesome, my wife really knows how to play tactics. The big cat replied casually.
Vivien gave Palamedis a blank look.
"So, the real exploration ship is still hidden in your research institute?"
"No, it has been handed over to Great Britain, and their men guard the ship with the highest level of secrecy, and there should be no chance that the ship will be stolen again. "
"If only that were the case. Palamides saw a shadow at the end of the hallway, and immediately interrupted the conversation, making a gesture to Vivien, who was following him, not to act rashly.
Sure enough, although there were few patrols in this secret base, it was still patrolled. At the end of the corridor in the distance, a guard wearing a black robe and light armor was slowly paced, the guard was not at all suitable for fighting, and the spear he held in his hand was not for combat, but more like some kind of ritual weapon. The guy also wore a pointed triangular hat on his head, which completely covered his face, except for two small orifices for vision, allowing him to see everything from the outside world. This set of equipment greatly limits the guard's vision and mobility, and it can be said that only a religious madman or a fool who does not know how to guard would let the guard wear such a suit to go out on patrol.
Or maybe it's both. Palamides thought to himself. It's most likely that the people who went to Vivien's institute to do things were members of the Order of Twilight, and that group of people were religious lunatics in the first place.
He winked at Vivien and exchanged opinions. At this time, it is wisest to either hide or take a detour, in short, to avoid this guard. However, Vivien shook her head, and before the leopard warrior could react, she had already rushed forward, and with the black bayonet sword in her hand, she stabbed the guard to death before she could react.
The blow was fatal to the heart, and the guard convulsed twice before dying. Vivien's killing process was smooth and swift, almost turning into a black shadow and slipping past, stabbing the other party to death with a single sword.
"What are you doing?" Palamides hurriedly rushed up and asked, "Are you crazy? What if the alarm goes off?!"
"Actually, you didn't go off any alarms, what are you nervous about? Vivien smiled indifferently and pulled her sword from the chest of the dead foe. Because it was a sword piercing the heart, under normal circumstances, when this sword was pulled out, it would cause heavy bleeding, and blood was spraying everywhere. But in fact, it didn't turn out like this, the bayonet sword in Vivien's hand seemed to be specially made for infiltration combat, and when it pierced the enemy's heart, it had already continuously sucked the blood from the opponent's body, and squeezed the opponent into a human body in ten seconds. Because there was almost no blood to shed, the corpse was not bleeding heavily when the sword was drawn, and the clothes on the guard's body were not even bloodstained except for a small hole in the chest.
Aside from the fact that it can quickly drain the opponent's blood, there seems to be nothing special about the bayonet. But it is precisely because of its high efficiency of sucking blood that it can successfully get such a set of completely bloodless suits after assassinating the enemy, which is convenient to infiltrate in disguise.
"This was a smooth way to get the costume for the infiltration. Vivien smiled coldly.
"Wait...... Palamides compared the guard's figure, which was clearly not something that a petite woman like Vivien could wear, that is------
"You want me to put on this kind of, no!" Palamides rebuked in a low voice, "Who knows what kind of skin disease this guy has, why do I want to wear dirty clothes that I have ripped off a dead man?!"
"Please, Palami. Vivien said to her husband in a seductive tone, "If you want to infiltrate and get information about the Twilight Order, you still have to sacrifice this point." "
"Tsk...... "The big cat still looks very reluctant. Why could he simply sneak in and wander around this secret undersea base, but instead run around in those clumsy and obstructive clothes, pretending to be a guard?
"All we have to do is find the base's database as quickly as possible, steal as much information as possible from it, and see what this group of Twilight cultists do next. Vivien urged: "After getting all the information, you can directly detonate the camouflage ship hidden in this base and destroy this base." If it goes well, we'll be able to get back by night. Hal Jr.'s surgery was done late at night, don't you want to see your son come out of the operating room safely?"
"This ...... Palamides compromised: "Okay, what next." "
"Do it. Vivien expertly pulled the suit from the guard's corpse and handed the hood to Palamides, "Take off your stealth tights." Dress on. I'll dispose of this corpse. "
Palamides sighed and followed his wife's plan.
Ten minutes later.
Palamides, who was dressed in a robe, subconsciously reached out and scratched his buttocks.
"It's an itch in the ass. I'm afraid this guy doesn't have a scart on him. The leopard warrior complained.
"You're thinking too much. Vivien dismantled the dead human corpse into dozens of parts, brutally shoving the pieces into a side vent and hiding them. Since the blood on the corpse had long since been drained by the bayonet sword in her hand, she did not dismember the corpse as bloody as Palamides had imagined. But the leopard warrior suddenly remembered the scene when the livestock was slaughtered and cut into various parts in the slaughterhouse, and the urge to vomit could not help but feel nauseous in his throat. He turned his face away, deliberately not looking at Vivien's body. He looked slightly weird with his triangular hat on his head, mainly because he was a leopard man, and the two round leopard ears on his head held the hat up. In this case, there is no point in dressing up, and it is estimated that the other party will be exposed if you take a closer look.
"Can't you hide your ears?" asked Vivien.
"Uh, I'll try...... "Palamides tried to change his appearance with his emerald knight abilities. It's pretty simple, he just sticks the panthered ears flat on his head, so that he barely puts two bulges on top of the hat he wears, and looks like a human wearing one of these triangular hats. But of course, when he hid his ears, his sense of hearing lost its original acuity. Just to infiltrate and reduce his natural racial superiority, Palamides only felt that it was stupid to do so. Never mind. Hurry up and get done here, and hurry back to see little Hal. The big cat thought to himself. The child must have been very uneasy before a major operation such as an organ transplant, so he asked his father to hug and comfort him.
"What's next?" Palamides saw his watch-like device glow with a small display that seemed to indicate where he was going.
"It looks like this marker should be one of the places where they converge. Vivien leaned over and looked at it, "You should go over there and see what is going on." I will secretly cooperate with your actions. Remember, try not to reveal your identity as much as possible, so that we can get more information from the enemy. Ideally, it would not be to steal information from here and then bomb the base. Ideally, they would be informed of their next operation and wipe out the cultists before they have a large-scale operation. "
"Huh...... Palamides suddenly felt that this was really troublesome. When an Assassin emptied the base, he still had full confidence. But when a Spy infiltrates the enemy line and skillfully fools him around, it's much more difficult than assassination.
Either way, what needs to be done has to be done. Paramides sighed, picked up the ritual spear, dressed up as a Twilight Cultist, and quietly went to join the cultists in the base.
