The atmosphere had reached its peak. Wen Wen clapped his hands again, asking everyone to calm down.
He waved to a large door on one side, and it slowly opened. Figures dressed in black and red robes emerged from the other side.
There were about five hundred such figures, all monsters confined within the facility.
Five hundred monsters was roughly the limit that Wen Wen could restrain with chains. The number of these monsters was equivalent to the number of facility staff.
“As you all should have noticed, these monsters are the ones confined within the facility.”
“This operation is a war. We should utilize all available combat power. These monsters are your comrades for this mission!”
“They have behaved well in their cells, and they are bound by the facility’s restrictions. They can help you fight the enemy!”
“Each facility staff member is paired with a monster, and they will fully cooperate with you in combat.”
“Some of the best-performing staff members can take their paired monsters with them as assistants after the battle!”
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere grew even more fervent. Many facility staff members were ready to give their all.
Monsters as assistants were still a privilege enjoyed by only a select few staff members at this stage. Many were quite envious. If they could also obtain such assistants, their future operations would be much smoother.
Wen Wen had said most of what needed to be said, and he began to wrap up.
“The official operation time is precisely midnight. At that time, the ‘Black Cross’ will transport all over a thousand people present to the outer perimeter of the Abyss Eye’s camp!”
“We will cooperate with the Hunter Association to jointly attack the Abyss Eye. Use the remaining time to familiarize yourselves with your comrades’ abilities so you won’t be flustered on the battlefield.”
After speaking, everyone dispersed.
These monsters were Wen Wen’s additional safeguard for the facility staff. In times of danger, these monsters would be the first to die.
The status of most monsters was equivalent to cannon fodder. Only those Wen Wen deemed noteworthy would receive special care and would not risk dying in a chaotic battle.
As long as the facility staff were safe, these ordinary monsters could always be recaptured, just as they could capture more demons in this operation.
With the experience of this collective battle, the facility staff would become even stronger.
Wen Wen, however, went alone to the third level of the facility. This time, he intended to invite the powerful Water Spirit, Isweet, to participate. The strength of the central administrators far surpassed ordinary True Orders. With them present to provide a fallback, Wen Wen would feel much more at ease.
Nivia’s ability was healing, which could greatly reduce the mortality rate. However, her healing speed was not fast, and healing after the battle would be the same.
Wen Wen was astounded by Jin Ke La’s combat ability. Based on his performance during his last appearance, Wen Wen was certain that even he himself, in his current state, was absolutely no match for Jin Ke La.
Furthermore, compared to that time, the facility had been upgraded, making Jin Ke La even stronger. However, in Wen Wen’s opinion, his abilities were more suited for one-on-one combat.
Therefore, Wen Wen sought out Isweet. Isweet was skilled in battlefield analysis and could provide Wen Wen with strategic insights within the facility.
Moreover, his combat capabilities were not weak, making him suitable for such large-scale, chaotic battlefields. At critical moments, he could turn the tide of the battle.
…
Outside Sihu City, within a forest, a camp with a strong Hunter Association style had already been established.
Inside the central tent of the camp, two men sat opposite each other, glaring at each other without speaking.
They were competing to see who could keep their eyes open the longest. Whoever blinked first would lose. This was not just any ordinary staring; it was a contest of fully opening their eyes with all their might.
The man sitting on the east side wore a black combat suit. His physique was like an iron tower, and his expression was stoic. He was Tie Xing Zhou, the leader of the First Special Operations Team.
The other man had messy long hair and wore a green robe, with scattered scars on his body. He was Gui Tun Luo, the leader of the Fourth Special Operations Team.
Both were True Order level powerhouses and often acted together, but they seemed to have a bit of friction between them.
Their friction was so intense that they would argue over any trivial matter.
This included, but was not limited to, the issue of who could pee farther…
However, when facing enemies, their performance was remarkably synchronized, making them a good pair within the Greater Washington District.
Each Special Operations Team comprised over thirty members, each at the Assimilation level. They could directly contend with a number of monsters or superhumans twice their size at the same level. They were the strongest force directly under the Greater Regional Hunter Association.
Gui Tun Luo spat and said, “With just the two of us, can we stop the Abyss Eye’s plan? The intel suggests there are at least four True Order level enemies. The power displayed by the Abyss Eye when they attacked the Glory Church before was not weak at all.”
Tie Xing Zhou said slowly, “Instead of dwelling on the Abyss Eye’s strength, it’s better to focus on the strength of this SRS Foundation. They were the ones who requested help from the Association, stating that only two True Orders would suffice.”
“Then, we shall wait and see.”
They had another mission for coming here: to assess the strength of the Foundation. Although the Association had agreed to the Foundation’s establishment, they were still unclear about its true capabilities.
Recently, various evil forces had become much more rampant than before, so the Association could not spare much power.
Besides their respective thirty-plus Assimilation level demon hunters, they had also brought two other teams.
These two teams were meant to deal with those tentacle monsters and mosquitoes. According to the Foundation’s intelligence, these two types of monsters were not strong individually, but their numbers were vast, requiring specific methods for their elimination.
One of these was over a hundred new Goliath Soldiers, optimized through technological advancements.
The new Goliath Soldiers were smaller in size, possessed stronger combat capabilities, and only required one pilot, leading to much faster reaction times than before.
The other was an auxiliary team of over five hundred people. These auxiliaries were dispatched from Hunter Island, and Hunter Island required all their combat data.
Tie Xing Zhou did not hold high expectations for this auxiliary team, but he knew that these five hundred people were definitely not simple.
With these, coupled with the local military and police forces of Xiangnan Province, it should be sufficient to deal with the grunts.
As the sky darkened, both men’s eyes were sore and swollen. Finally, they stopped, each going to wash their eyes with saltwater.
Upon returning, they were again arguing about who blinked a second less than the other.
A lone wild goose flew overhead. Tie Xing Zhou glanced at his pocket watch, ending his argument with Gui Tun Luo.
“We need to head to the assembly point.”
The vast convoy broke into smaller groups, entering the city from various directions.
The Goliath Soldiers were loaded onto trucks. Their massive bodies did not attract any attention.
