Chapter 664: Chapter 311 Factory No.18_2
Due to the difficulty of directly communicating with colleagues in real life, one could only alleviate boredom through online communication.
However, unlike Doll, who is easily shy in reality, Li Yunyan’s real-life personality is also very lively.
In just a few months, she had formed good relationships with everyone in the Equipment Department.
After Lei Chui left, Li Yelai stayed in the office for quite a while.
Realizing that he really had nothing to do, he went to find the deputy team leader, Zu Chao.
Zu Chao was the only Sixth-sense Expert in Champion Team One at the moment and was also appointed as the Champion Team One’s deputy leader by Yang Chen.
When Li Yelai found him, he had just finished being a protector for teammates who were getting promoted, and smiled upon seeing Li Yelai.
“Night General Captain, you don’t have to worry too much. During times without special circumstances, the Processor’s execution group and Ye Boshou group act according to the original plan. If you’re not planning on changing the plan, then there isn’t much else,” Zu Chao said, “However, some external families plan to get in touch with you. Would you like to meet with them?”
“There’s no need for that, I’m not familiar with them,” Li Yelai shook his head, “Let headquarters handle them. I’m not good with words; I might offend them if I were to meet.”
“That’s fine, better to avoid those convoluted distractions. But the Jing Family has a good relationship with us and is a partner. At least some of them have a good relationship with us. They have invited you to their estate. It’s something you probably can’t decline,” Zu Chao reminded.
“Right, I’m aware. Jing Lin and I are already friends; I will certainly accept his invitation,” Li Yelai nodded, Jing Lin had already sent him a message.
“But it’s best to not get involved in their family feud,” Zu Chao pondered and then said, “If you’re going… currently, there are six Ye Boshou groups resting within Giant City. If needed, you can mobilize them.”
“Okay, got it,” Li Yelai responded. As a Champion Agent, he had that authority.
If truly necessary, he could even order all members of Team One to immediately abandon their current tasks and all gather behind him.
More than two hundred Spiritual Ability Users, among them over a hundred from Ye Boshou!
Such was the power and authority of a Champion Agent.
Afterwards, Li Yelai planned to go to the official underground shelter to see Mountain Lord and summon another Mountain King Avatar.
The previous Mountain King Avatar had perished in the encirclement of Angels.
It had created an opportunity for Li Yelai, allowing his injuries to heal and him to unleash his peak combat power in a desperate turnaround.
Now back in Giant City, Li Yelai couldn’t do without it.
Thus, a few minutes later, Li Yelai arrived at the underground parking lot of the East City Branch.
As the captain, he could freely use the vehicles prepared by the logistics team.
The logistics team quickly prepared a cleaned and maintained off-road vehicle for Li Yelai.
Yet, as soon as Li Yelai sat in the off-road vehicle, his expression subtly changed.
In the driver’s seat of the off-road vehicle, he saw a secret signal from the Blood God Faction. Using the signal, he pulled out a slip of paper from the vehicle’s air conditioning vent.
It was a newspaper, marked with the secret code of the Blood God Faction.
The content of the code was: ‘East City Old District, Factory No.18’
Li Yelai’s heart skipped a beat, then he realized that the Blood God Faction was signaling him to head to that area.
But… as a Chaos Chosen and a Chosen of the Dual Gods, and being undercover, for safety reasons, the Church shouldn’t dare to actively contact him; they should be waiting for Li Yelai to contact them.
Why would they… And moreover, to pull off this stunt inside a vehicle.
Did this imply that there were Church’s undercover agents within the logistics team? Or was it that some Processor, during the use of the vehicle, had left this information in the car?
Li Yelai’s gaze flickered.
Moreover, sending him to that area… it must not be just to communicate with him.
‘Damned, you wouldn’t be planning to carry out a Chaos Ritual in Giant City, would you?’ Li Yelai gritted his teeth and pressed hard on the accelerator, bursting out of the underground garage, heading towards the factory.
He couldn’t explain the source of the information to the officials.
Thus, he could only inform Captain Yin Huo through the captain’s hotline.
Soon, Yin Huo responded to Li Yelai, [You should get closer to Factory No.18 first. If we were to respond from this side, you would be exposed. The information I’ve obtained includes that an execution group has found strange occurrences within the factory and is currently investigating.]
“Can we get that task force to retreat first?” Li Yelai quickly typed.
“At most, we can relocate that team for some other reason, but we can’t deliberately have them withdraw. You’ve just received intelligence, and if they run now, wouldn’t that be a clear sign that you’re the undercover agent?” Yin Huo replied, “Moreover, the Church is reminding you to go to that area probably because they plan to throw something out there to become your achievement.”
“Doesn’t that put the task force in great danger?” Li Yelai frowned, not wanting his comrades to suffer because of his cover.
“To make this operation your achievement, the Church will probably start their action only after you’ve reached a certain distance. Otherwise, other official personnel might suppress it before you. Trust in the task force, believe in… the Ranger team!”
The Ranger team? The one being lured to Factory No.18?
Is that… the team that Heavy Knight is in?
Almost all members of the previous generation of the Ranger team were sacrificed, with the only surviving leader, Ben Lei, later becoming twisted and given a funeral by Li Yelai…
Afterwards, Heavy Knight carried on the Ranger… it was said that Starfire also joined them.
It was them…
Li Yelai was surprised and anxious in his heart, speeding even more towards the direction of the factory.
Twenty minutes into his drive, his communicator suddenly issued an alarm.
Li Yelai clenched his teeth, twisted the steering wheel, and the SUV swayed and drifted, drawing surprised looks from nearby pedestrians and drivers as it neatly parked at a spot by the road.
The drivers nearby were quite startled and about to curse.
But they saw that there was no driver in the vehicle.
They looked around panic-stricken.
But they did not notice a black shadow walking on air, rapidly heading towards the factory from mid-air.
…
Meanwhile, inside Factory No.18.
The Ranger team led by Heavy Knight, along with a large number of officers, were on high alert deep inside the factory.
This was a mold processing factory that covered a not insignificant area.
At the moment, the once-thriving factory had been eroded by some force.
The workers had become unusually irritable and savage. In just a few hours, numerous violent incidents had erupted.
The workers were fighting each other, and the factory supervisor had even been thrown into a mixer.
The Guard Hall and the Ranger team cooperated immediately to suppress the situation.
They subdued the mad rioters on the periphery, protected the rational workers, and explored deeper into the factory.
Planning to evacuate the workers from the underground workshop.
But the closer they got to the core, the more they felt that strange eeriness.
Every inch of land and machinery was devoured by its corrupting shadow.
The factory walls had long lost their original paint color and were covered with an indescribable black substance that seemed to have a life of its own, writhing and spreading across the walls, forming twisted and terrifying images.
When they pushed open the doors to the underground workshop, a strong smell of blood and the scent of burning metal assaulted their nostrils, suffocating them.
The once tidy workshop had become utterly chaotic, with machine parts scattered on the ground covered in black slime, emitting a harsh screeching noise.
In the dim light, one could see some mechanical arms and conveyors still weakly moving, but their actions had become contorted and weird, as if manipulated by some malevolent power.
The leading Heavy Knight’s expression changed slightly.
Sword in hand, she adopted a defensive stance.
“Everyone fall back, Starfire, request support!”
“Support?” However, a cold and furious voice echoed within the factory: “You won’t have the chance!”
“Blood Sacrifice to the Blood God!”
