Dan Nan's obstruction left everyone greatly puzzled.
They had already guessed the possibility of Dr. Sim being inside, so why did they stop here?
Did Dan Nan believe that this group of SS-class and S-class ability users could still pose any threat to them?
Ma Long, with his impatient nature, asked without thinking.
"Deputy Dan, what do you mean? Dr. Sim is inside, why are we hesitating?"
Dan Nan, with a look of helplessness, immediately explained.
"You've all seen it. Dr. Sim arranged two X-class ability users outside to intercept us, but hid a group of SS-class and S-class low-level ability users inside the base. The only possibility is that he wants to use these people to stop our advance!"
Everyone was still confused.
"Yes! So we should rush in even faster!"
Dan Nan became more anxious.
"Have you considered why Dr. Sim would use such a plan as the final line of defense? Doesn't he know that with the strength of these people, they can't stop us?"
Liu Xiaoxiao seemed to understand Dan Nan's meaning a little.
She tentatively asked.
"Are you saying there's some conspiracy here? Or some other existence we don't know about?"
Dan Nan nodded.
"At least it's definitely not as simple as it looks right now! The space inside the base is narrow, and these ability users don't show any intention of rushing out to attack us when they see us. It's obvious they are waiting for us to attack!"
At this point, everyone suddenly realized.
The group of SS-class and S-class ability users in front of them were indeed squeezed at the entrance of the base, just as Dan Nan had said, with no signs of主动 attack.
They seemed to be waiting for something.
Seeing these individuals, who looked as fearful as quails yet wore expressions of vowing to defend the base to the death, Han Lang also sensed the conspiracy.
"What do we do now? Are we just going to waste time with them like this?"
Dan Nan's expression was also extremely solemn, and he said with a worried face.
"I have two guesses right now. First, there are more X-class ability users hidden inside the base, waiting for us to charge in and then trap us. Second, Dr. Sim must be conducting some crucial experiment inside the base. Once the experiment is successful, perhaps none of us will be a match for him. And these ability users are meant to buy Dr. Sim more time!"
Hearing Dan Nan's analysis, Han Lang added.
"If it's the second possibility, we should rush in as soon as possible to stop Dr. Sim!"
Liu Xiaoxiao also chimed in.
"But if it's the first situation, we'll all be caught off guard. We might not even have a chance to fight back!"
At this, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill of fear.
At a critical moment, Dan Nan suddenly seemed to have thought of something and said to Ma Long.
"Ma Long! Go and get me a few more artillery shells. We'll bring some shells to break through. If we encounter the first situation, we can use the power of the shells to open a breakthrough!"
Hearing this, Ma Long dared not delay.
He immediately flew back and quickly searched the damaged artillery platforms for six artillery shells and brought them back.
"Six, is that enough?"
Dan Nan nodded.
"It's about enough. Let's charge in!"
With Dan Nan's order, Han Lang and the others immediately responded, charging towards the SS-class and S-class ability users.
With their current strength, the SS-class and S-class ability users were basically no match for them.
For a time, the few of them were like wolves entering a flock of sheep, frantically reaping the lives of the ability users.
But unfortunately, the number of ability users was too large.
Moreover, their strength was not bad.
At least they had a sliver of resistance.
Suddenly, this seemingly one-sided slaughter turned into a test of endurance.
Not long after, Ma Long, panting, took another Spirit Replenishing Pill.
After recovering his strength, he couldn't help but complain.
"Damn it! Wang Mazi, who slaughters pigs in the village next to mine, isn't this tired in a day!"
Hearing Ma Long's analogy, although everyone agreed in their hearts, they couldn't help but be amused and burst into laughter.
"Alright, Ma Long. What are you saying? Although the ability users are enemies on our side, and they are existences that we all hate, they are still lives after all! We are forced to kill them, but no matter what, we should still hold a trace of reverence for life in our hearts?"
Hearing Tang Geng's words, Ma Long rolled his eyes at him.
"Come on, Tang Geng! You're a typical saint. If you say so, then the pigs killed by Wang Mazi are not lives? I haven't seen him have much reverence for life!"
"You..."
Tang Geng was rendered speechless by the retort.
Hearing this conversation, Han Lang and the others laughed even harder.
Seeing that no one refuted Ma Long, Tang Geng could only shake his head helplessly.
"Alas, it seems that today, you are all on Ma Long's side. Fine, today let's learn from Wang Mazi from Ma Long's village and properly deal with these pale-skinned pigs!"
After speaking, the flying sword in his hand weaved even more fiercely.
Seeing this, Ma Long was once again surprised.
"My God! Tang Geng, if you do this, Wang Mazi from our village would have to admire you with his head bowed!"
This time, even Liu Xiaoxiao and Dan Nan laughed.
But it was still during the battle, and Dan Nan quickly regained his composure, then said solemnly to the two.
"Alright. You two stop joking! Hurry up and clear out these ability users, we need to rush into the base quickly to see what Dr. Sim is up to!"
When Dan Nan spoke, Ma Long and Tang Geng naturally dared not continue to tease. They immediately focused on dealing with the dense crowd of ability users in front of them.
To say that the number of ability users here was not comparable to large-scale battles.
However, the narrow space inside the base made it difficult for Dan Nan and the others to unleash their full potential.
Therefore, even with their full effort, they could not ignore the desperate resistance of such a large number of SS-class and S-class ability users.
Thus, after each person had consumed about three Spirit Replenishing Pills, they had only cleared about one-third of the ability users.
This made Dan Nan feel a little anxious.
Just as he was about to urge everyone on, Han Lang's expression suddenly stiffened, as if something unexpected had happened, and his movements gradually stopped.
Dan Nan quickly sensed Han Lang's abnormality and immediately asked.
"What's wrong? Han Lang. Is there a problem?"
Han Lang looked at Dan Nan blankly, his face a mixture of surprise and fear, and replied faintly.
"I think... I'm about to break through!"
