Chapter 335: Chapter 336: Infiltrated by CP0?
Suddenly, just as Aeridar was about to complain, the alarm in the laboratory blared.
Woooooo~ Woooooo~
"Alarm! Alarm! Unknown individuals have infiltrated the base!!!"
Blinding red lights flashed continuously, and piercing broadcast announcements echoed.
"Nani?!"
Aeridar, Dalt, and Vade sprang up in shock. Dalt felt his face burning with embarrassment. Earlier, eleven people had died due to the Project 03 experiment, and now there were outsiders infiltrating. Two major incidents in one day! If any secret information or research were leaked, how could he face his captain’s trust?
Aeridar was also a little awkward at this point. He had just told Vade how secure and technologically advanced this base was. The earlier experiment’s issues, even with some deaths, were unpredictable. But now, with an outside infiltration on Vade’s first day here, it made his previous words sound like lies.
Meanwhile, Vade was also muttering to himself, Damn it, I just got here today, and the base is already infiltrated. The security is way too lax. What if someone comes to steal research results or assassinate me...? The thought alone was terrifying.
Thump!
The laboratory door was suddenly forced open, and three frantic assistants in white lab coats burst in.
"Your Majesty, Dr. Dalt, Zone 2 (the experimentation area) has been breached!!!"
...
The main corridor of Experimentation Zone 2.
Thump!
A guard in a black suit slammed heavily against the metal wall, spitting up large mouthfuls of blood. His chest was completely caved in.
On the pristine marble floor, over ten people lay scattered, their fates unknown. These individuals, dressed in either black suits or brown-and-white striped protective gear, were all base guards.
From the moment the alarm sounded until now, barely a minute had passed, yet more than ten guards with over a hundred Doriki had already been knocked down.
In the corridor, two tall figures stood amidst the fallen. They wore white lab coats bearing the Chris Pirates’ emblem, but their faces were concealed by strange masks—one a white-faced sunflower mask, the other a red-faced, black-haired mask.
"Indeed, Beck, they’re all super soldiers with over a hundred Doriki. Quite troublesome." One of the taller figures shook the blood from his hand and adjusted his white-faced sunflower mask. His tone was somewhat grave, and his voice was rather hoarse.
"Fitch, we spent three months infiltrating and successfully going undercover. I didn’t expect to be discovered as soon as we made our move. The security is too tight," the shorter figure with the red-faced, black-haired mask said helplessly.
"Although we didn’t get our original target, this is still valuable. We have to find a way out," the masked man called Fitch looked behind them. Sure enough, a series of urgent footsteps and furious shouts filled with murderous intent echoed from the rear.
"Outsiders have infiltrated!"
"Catch them! Don’t disturb His Majesty!"
"Damn it, they actually infiltrated! How negligent! We must kill them!"
"Charge! They’re up ahead!"
"..."
"His Majesty?!"
Fitch, wearing the white-faced sunflower mask, exclaimed in shock, "No good, let’s go, Beck! That man is here too!"
"That man?!" Beck, with the red-faced, black-haired mask, was momentarily stunned, then snapped to attention, cursing aloud. He turned and fled with his companion in the opposite direction.
They had been as careful as possible, relying on their extensive experience. It took them three months to successfully infiltrate and familiarize themselves with the base, but unexpectedly, they were discovered the moment they acted. And on the same day, a major figure arrived. Their luck was indeed terrible.
Thump-thump-thump-thump... Thump-thump-thump-thump...
"I see them! They’re right ahead!"
"We’ve got them!"
"Damn thieves! Don’t think you can escape!"
"Take them for experiments!"
The two had only run a few dozen meters when dozens of guards, wielding various weapons and radiating killing intent, appeared from the front, surrounding them.
"We’re already exposed to the Den Den Mushi surveillance. We have to push through, or we’ll die."
Fitch leaped, his feet seemingly running on air, circles of white vapor appearing beneath them.
"Stop babbling! I know!"
Beck stomped his foot, vanishing from his spot.
Thump, thump, thump...
Fitch moved as if on solid ground in mid-air, quickly reaching above the guards. He swept his right leg downwards.
Swoosh!
A blue-white slash appeared, striking downwards.
Splurt!
The terrifying, blade-like slash struck the chests of three guards, tearing through their protective suits. Blood splattered, and all three were instantly killed.
"Such powerful bodies, they weren’t cut in half. Is it because of the SS Potion injection?" Fitch muttered to himself in mid-air.
"He’s in the air, and there’s a slash! Is that high-tech?" a guard exclaimed in surprise.
"Shoot him! Kill him!" a black-suited guard, seemingly a leader, shouted.
Bang, bang, bang, bang...
A dozen guards with guns raised their firearms, shooting into the sky.
Splurt, splurt, splurt~
At that moment, a ghostly white figure flashed into the crowd. Its index finger, like a spear, pierced through the chests of five or six guards in quick succession, leaving gruesome bloody holes.
...
In the central monitoring room, hundreds of surveillance screens were neatly arranged on the walls.
Besides the usual ten staff members, Aeridar, Dalt, and Vade were also present. Even Oliver, Otto, Enrod, and Galan, who had been drinking, had rushed over.
"Geppo and Rankyaku, Soru and Shigan. Such proficient Rokushiki techniques. It seems they’re agents from a CP organization." Aeridar’s expression was grim as he stood in the room, gazing at the strange masks worn by the two figures on the surveillance feeds. His eyes narrowed slightly. "But that mask... is it CP0?! The Five Elders or a Celestial Dragon?"
"My apologies, Captain. This is my mistake," Otto said, bowing his head to Aeridar. Since he was solely responsible for the security of Alvis Island and the research base, he was undoubtedly the most accountable for such an incident.
Then, Otto glared at the surveillance screen, his voice cold. "I’ll deal with them."
"We also bear responsibility. We’ll go too." Enrod and Galan also stepped forward. After all, Aeridar had assigned them to assist with security. If something went wrong, they couldn’t claim to have no responsibility at all; they definitely held some.
"I have only one demand: the information here... absolutely cannot be leaked!" Aeridar scanned the three—Otto, Enrod, and Galan—his piercing gaze chilling their hearts.
"Understood! Leave it to us!"
Otto, Enrod, and Galan simultaneously bowed their heads and responded, their voices filled with murderous intent.
