"A layer of purge!"

"Area A on the second floor is generally cleared, and the rat people and some difficult biological weapons are being cleared."

"Area B is under attack by suspected 'werewolf' individuals and needs support!"

"The third floor has been occupied! Some of the cultists are hiding in the food warehouse, they are trying to negotiate with us and are willing to exchange the results of their research, do you want to capture the prisoners? ”

One hour and twenty-five minutes after the start of the assault, the player's legion of successes was constantly being reported to Lady Water, who was then left to Lady Natalie to make a judgment.

The difficulty of this battle is extremely high, not only because the strange power system of the R-9 base is completely different from the "sword and magic" of the outside world, but also because the researchers of the scholar faction are not good at fighting, but they always come up with all kinds of strange things to help in the battle, which makes the original battle plan completely impossible to carry out.

Players and Blood Pact Hunters are left to improvise, and there are some rather harsh "instant kill" mechanics in the base.

For example, the hapless student party strayed into a corridor full of cutting lasers during the pursuit, and the scene was almost like a classic recreation of Resident Evil, resulting in the end of all but Che Che escaping with an adventurous random teleportation.

The direct consequence of this damn "dungeon design" and "terrain kill" is that by the time the base is now largely occupied, the player's army has lost more than half, which can be called a heavy casualty.

Of course, the reason why it is so miserable is that in addition to the high strength of the monsters and the disgusting terrain of the dungeon, it is also because before the action, the leaders of the major guilds require their respective players to protect the NPCs and try to brush up on a perfect evaluation.

So at least one-third of these tragic deaths are caused to protect NPCs.

But considering that they will be able to reappear alive in three days, Operation Commander Ms. Natalie can proudly claim that there were no casualties in this operation!

"Where are Lady Lena and Lord Yvette?"

Natalie: This will be resting.

The Warden Blade in her hand slashed a lot of strange things along the way, and she was in a state of frenzied desire to kill, and scolded Natalie for her poor staying power to make it enjoyable, or an old man who was old and strong was more suitable for her own strange evaluations.

In this regard, Natalie is only doing oral gymnastics again as a holy blade.

A considerable amount of the psychological counseling given to her by the crow was to persuade her to re-examine the relationship between herself and the Holy Blade with a more rational attitude, and Natalie felt that what the crow said made sense, so her attitude towards the Holy Blade became more and more aloof.

But this holy blade is a cheap skin.

The more cold Natalie became, the more the watcher felt that she had a "strong demeanor", and the more comfortable it became to use.

In the face of Natalie's inquiry, Mrs. Water checked the intelligence summary just now and replied:

"Ms. Lena is dealing with a semi-elemental, intelligence-enhanced trolls in Sector F on the first floor, labeled Bioweapon 9, presumably the most dangerous bioweapon in the R-9 base.

Lord Yvette led a ten-man squad deep into the pit area below the third floor, where the hunt and clearance were taking place.

Dusk breeds special types of nezumi here, according to the reports of the Blood Alliance Hunters, the nezumi here are smarter and more dangerous than the outside world, and Lord Yvette cannot allow the nezumi here to escape out of control. ”

"Hmm."

Natalie nodded, closed her eyes and thought for a moment, then asked:

"What about the head of this base? Didn't Miss Pinkie report that she was trying to capture the Explorer, the leader? ”

"There's no news yet, but the capture operation should have failed, as the dangerous 'werewolves' that are now roaming around the second and third floors have rushed out of their battle area, and the Locke dwarves have suffered heavy casualties as a result."

Lady Water is definitely an excellent candidate for lieutenant, and she detailed her guess for Natalie, causing the White Knight Witcher to frown.

She immediately got up and lifted the watcher, and a group of elite witch hunters beside her followed suit.

It's like a dangerous boss planning to go there to capture the R-9 base.

Don't look at Natalie as just a silver white knight, but she is holding the Warden Holy Blade, and at the same time she seems to have been noticed by Avalon, she can basically be called a "Reserve Sage", and her actual combat performance is by no means a silver level that can be summarized.

Mrs. Shui also followed behind her with the emerald green wind holy relic, and her "exclusive mount" Huo Zige followed his wife with a big shield on his back, and what stood out was a "woman singing and husband following".

However, they had not gone far in this strange metal base before a report from Amber was sent to Lady Natalie's adventurous assistant, and the White Knight Witcher answered the communication request before hearing Amber shouting:

"We captured an important person, the captain, that guy is Heru's mentor, the renegade psionic master of the Tower of the Ring, and Niu Niu tortured him. He said that the base had four hidden underground floors, and that the entrance was deep in the F-217 warehouse on the third basement level, with a hidden downward spiral staircase.

But there is something very dangerous there!

That's a trap!

Don't go alone, let the two golden men take the lead! ”

"Roger! Your intel is timely, Ambo. ”

Natalie was stunned for a moment, then replied:

"But are the captives in your hands credible?"

"There is a high probability that it is credible that he caught Heru but did not hurt him, but instead gave him a very strange strengthening of his eyes and ears, and Heru also vouched for his life and honor in Transnesia."

Amber replied:

"Niu Niu suggested that we capture him alive and bring him back to the Crimson Keep for trial by Grand Duke Tris, and the captured old Flynn said that many of the researchers in the base did not agree with the idea of the end of the world, and that they were just research madmen and not dangerous cultists.

He said he could help persuade us to surrender, and he was willing to take us to the main control room of the base, where we would have full control of the facilities.

Finally, Flynn Sr. asked us not to enter the closed labs and not to destroy the test data, emphasizing that a lot of research at the R-9 base could help the Transanians win the Black Plague. ”

"What are we going to do, it's not a traitor's turn to point fingers, take him to the main control room and share the route, Anbo, we'll meet you in the main control room."

Natalie replied, then changed direction and headed towards the core area of the second floor of the base.

Ten minutes later, the two teams converged here, old Flynn had already been shackled to block psionic energy, Niu Niu personally escorted him, and Amber carried Heru on his back.

This psyker is now in a very strange shape.

A black fishbowl-like helmet was attached to his head to prevent the uncontrolled "laser eyes" from harming others.

In addition, the sensory amplification brought by the "Hess Ear" transplanted by Old Flynn was too shocking, and if he didn't wear this sensory closed helmet, I am afraid that Heru would be mentally broken by the huge amount of information that poured into his perception.

"Open it!"

Natalie stood in front of a group of heavily armed players, pointed to the embarrassed old Flynn to the mechanical door blocked by the main control room, and the bloody giant shark beside her grinned at the old Flynn with its teeth provocatively, to be honest, being stared at by such a Vam berserker, the old Flynn couldn't help but shrink his neck.

As a psionist, he hated this kind of muscular recklessness the most.

"You've got to let me go first."

Old Flynn whispered:

"This is a lock with a quadruple encryption of iris, fingerprints and voices, and passwords, and it will not work without any of them."

"Do you think I'm going to free a cultist who doesn't know where to stand in a cult base full of killing machines?"

Natalie asked:

"Mr. Flynn, do you think we're all fools for you to play with?"

"Blanch!"

Old Flynn, who had a panda-eyed head, scolded:

"I hate dealing with you believers, your stubborn thinking is hopeless, look at what you're doing here, how much valuable work you've ruined?

Twilight's style of acting is a jerk, I admit it!

But the work done by the researchers here is beyond your comprehension, wonderful knowledge from the last era."

"Don't talk nonsense with him, charming little Natalie, leave it to me."

As Flynn Sr. was scolding, Lady Yvette's seductive voice rang out behind her.

She swayed and walked out with her hunters as a crowd of players watched, and threw a black lingerie to the lucky one next to her as a reward for the battle.

Cheche looked at the underwear in his hand with disgust, closed his eyes and threw it to Brother Meow next to him, who shrugged his shoulders and threw it into the psionic bag.

"Come, look me in the eye, old fellow."

Yfleet stepped forward and grabbed Old Flynn by the neck, forcing him to look into his eyes, and in the beating of Miss Yvette's eyes that turned into red hearts, Old Flynn's eyes quickly blurred, and in the laughter of the players, the old man actually pulled the flag a few seconds later.

But laughing and laughing, the players fell into some kind of unspeakable silence.

Laugh a little!

Although people are old and embarrassed, they can still pull the flag, they are very young and powerful, but Niu Niu is locked up by a hateful vampire lord, no matter how you look at it, these people are more miserable, right?

"Well, turn it on, help us take control of the base, and then I'll give you some reward"

Miss Yvette whispered and let go of old Flynn, and the scout master immediately stepped forward with a foolish smile and opened the mechanical door of the main control room very obediently.

This guy is really messing around!

He was able to open the door as if he were shackled, which proved that Natalie's vigilance was necessary.

The main control room at the R-9 base is not large.

After all, this is only a part of the former living greenhouse that has been torn apart by the change of terrain, and it does not have an independent control system, but exists here with an automatic control core.

Shamefully, it's been over forty years since Twilight discovered and used this place, but they still don't understand how this control core works, so they can only live in it and pretend that they have a great advantage, when in fact the base is still running according to the preset process of more than a thousand years ago.

However, the sci-fi control core of this shape makes the players fall into a strong sense of déjà vu, and they begin to whisper about Star Wars, future technology and other things that NPCs can't understand.

Flynn Sr. had said that it was up to them to help them control the base, and the cultists didn't know how to change the operation of the control core, they didn't know, so don't expect Natalie and Yvette to understand these technological things.

"Storm Hammer, please bring in cement and Ruyi."

Seeing this, Mrs. Water immediately called for "support", and a few minutes later, Sister Cement and Xiao Ruyi, who had been waiting outside and fishing, were sent to the vicinity of the main control room, and this new person walked into the control room with a new staff on his back and a group of old players under the curious gaze of a group of old players.

When she saw the automatic operation of the control core, Sister Cement's eyes lit up.

She quickly stepped forward to professionally touch the core device encased in a silver-gray hexagonal mechanical box, and after a few seconds, she turned back to the others and said:

"I need to ask you to leave for a while, Ruyi and Mrs. Shui stay and help me, and the others should do whatever they want."

"Are you okay?"

The car in the crowd shouted unconvinced:

"This thing looks very advanced, don't mess around with some hell to activate the hell self-detonation system and blow us all away."

"Yo, my little brother looks confident."

Sister cement is not used to cars, she made a "please" action, saying:

"Are you going to do it?"

"I'm not on it!"

In the laughter of a group of people, Che Che decisively admitted.

Natalie turned her head to ask Mrs. Water a few words, and after getting a definite answer, she waved her hand, and the NPCs escorted Flynn Sr. out of here, but before leaving, Flynn Sr.'s ID card in the base was taken down and sent to Sister Cement.

After the others left, there were only three girls left in the main control room.

Sister Cement let out a sigh of relief, rolled up her sleeves and said to Mrs. Shui and Ruyi:

"Ah Wen, you go to the information monitoring station on the left to temporarily shut down all the processes that are running, Ruyi, you find the database interface on the right, and when I remind you, you must quickly disconnect the database slot, which is the red one!"

The blue and black ones don't move, that's the limiter of the security device, and once you pull it out, the self-destruct system is probably about to kick in.

But don't worry, it's just an auto-running control core, and it shouldn't have that much authority to bury everything here. ”

"So, you've seen something like this before?"

Mrs. Shui asked curiously, Sister Cement snorted, and said proudly:

"I've not only seen it, but I've dismantled it, it's much more advanced than the thing in front of me. It looks like this is just a fringe facility in the Golden Age, far worse than the one the one hid in, you didn't hear anything!

Now, get to work!

Ten minutes, get it done! ”

——

Sister Cement said that it was not bragging to take over the base in ten minutes, thanks to her more than 20 days of "research" in the well-preserved swamp exhibition hall, she already had a general understanding of the operation logic of the Creator's facility, and it was not difficult to crack an automated control core without advanced permission protection.

Nine minutes and twenty-seven seconds later, Ms. Natalie, who was looking for the entrance to the fourth floor in the F-217 warehouse on the third basement floor, suddenly heard a short, high-pitched whistling noise, all lights going out at the same moment, and then turning back on in a softer manner a few seconds later.

Immediately after, Sister Cement's voice came from the loudspeaker above them:

"Ten meters back, I'll help you open that locked downward passage, but please note that in the monitoring of the control core, there is a huge hole in the fourth layer, and there are very alarming energy fluctuations in it.

The R-9 base has a very terrifying independent energy system, but 70% of its energy has been used to lock down the fourth layer for more than a thousand years, which is not a scourge of the cultists, but it must be amazing to make the cultists so cautious.

In addition, our Mr. Explorer is attempting to activate an unknown teleporter in a torn area on the fourth basement level, carrying a special item labeled 'TS-092 Mind Manipulation Unit'.

The description of this thing in the database is encrypted, indicating that it is also important.

Grab him and get it back! ”

As soon as the words fell, the hidden downward entrance popped out with the vibration of the mechanical structure, and a downward mechanical spiral channel opened, and Natalie rushed down without hesitation, followed by Lady Lena and Lord Yvette, followed by the noisy players.

But when they made their way up the mechanical ladder to the fourth floor, everyone was stunned.

Even the well-informed Third Lord, Lady Yvette, had round eyes and opened her mouth slightly as if she had seen something unbelievable.

"It's."

The veteran players who had experienced the Scarlet Corridor capture battle screamed in an instant, and Brother Meow covered his face and shouted:

"Why. Why is there such a big subspace rift here? Holy, if this thing explodes, the entire Dark Mountains will be finished! ”
