Volume 14: Devastation Chapter 715: Cutting off
But the reality did not give Ke Lan more time to think. Not long after these mimicking fungi died, the entire basement began to shake violently!
Aya, whose prosthesis was severely damaged, staggered and fell to the ground, with dazzling electric sparks constantly emitting from the damaged parts of her body.
Ke Lan glanced at the ceiling above his head. The structure and materials of this room were solid, so it shouldn't collapse for the time being. Then he looked at Aya who was struggling to get up from the ground and asked, "Can you still walk by yourself?"
"It should be...it should be fine." Aya half-crouched on the ground, supporting her body with her only remaining arm. "As long as I don't encounter that kind of monster...I can walk out by myself."
Ke Lan nodded and said, "Okay, go find Asano Akira right now and leave here with him... I guess the noise was caused by the fusion creature imprisoned on the second underground floor. This guy is very troublesome... If there is really no way to deal with it, I can only call for the battleship's artillery to attack it."
Just now, Ke Lan discovered that the electromagnetic signal shielding in the underground area had disappeared. It should be that the interference equipment was damaged by the vibration.
"What about you?" Aya asked, "The warship's artillery attack is indiscriminate. If you stay, you will also be affected!"
"I will find a way to get out of this, so you don't have to worry about me." Ke Lan extended his hand to her. "By the way, give me the seed embryo I just took from the two remnant instructors of the heretic sect."
"What are you going to do?" Aya's face suddenly showed a trace of alertness.
"Don't ask so many questions, this is an order." Ke Lan said calmly.
"You don't want to be injected with that stuff, do you?" Aya's voice trembled a little, "Then I can't give it to you."
"I won't inject it unless I absolutely have it, but I think this thing can be used as a trump card." There has always been a voice in Ke Lan's subconscious mind telling him that as long as he "absorbs" that thing, he can gain extremely powerful strength.
"Trump card? What trump card?" Aya was stunned for a moment. When Ke Lan said this, her first reaction was that the other party was still hiding important information related to it and did not tell her. Although her current identity is the deputy director of the Security Bureau, in the eyes of the Undead Crew, the so-called deputy director is actually not much different from an ordinary pawn.
"Sorry, I can't tell you about this right now." Ke Lan also knew that Aya had misunderstood what he meant, so he simply chose to go with the flow.
"...Okay, but you'd better not..." Aya hesitated for a moment, but still handed the two syringes to Ke Lan.
Ke Lan took the syringe , resisted the urge to inject it into his body immediately, and put it in his pocket.
At this moment, Asano Akira's communication suddenly came through: "The fusion body blocking the passage outside is dead, and those unidentified people are pouring in."
That fusion body died? Ke Lan thought about it and felt that this guy might have eaten too many people and was "stuffed" to death... The more genes it absorbed, the more unstable the overall gene sequence would be, and naturally the easier it would be to crash. This is like a program with only two lines of code that is not prone to errors, but a program with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of lines of code will have some bugs.
Some bugs will not have a serious impact on the program, but some fatal bugs can make the entire program stuck and unable to continue running, or even crash directly - there should be such a fatal bug in the genetic sequence of this fusion.
As for those men in black, Ke Lan didn't think they had the ability to kill a fusion.
Ke Lan looked at Aya and asked, "You should be able to contact the peripheral special agent team now. How is the evacuation of civilians going?"
"There are a total of six teams of agents evacuating the people... but the situation is not optimistic. So far, less than 5% of the people have been evacuated... It will take at least two hours for everyone to evacuate this block!" Aya said anxiously.
"Tell the Security Bureau to send more people over. Also, ask the 24th Regiment of the garrison troops on standby nearby to move in. The temporary command will be handed over to the leaders of those special agent teams. Everyone must be evacuated within an hour... no, half an hour!" Ke Lan took out his cell phone and tapped it frantically. The corresponding command authority was immediately transferred to Aya.
"Let the garrison enter this block? Then those men in black..."
"As long as they don't open fire on civilians, try not to clash with them. The only mission of your subordinates is to evacuate civilians. Don't interfere with other matters." Ke Lan emphasized again, "The exchange of fire must be controlled inside the New Star Chamber of Commerce building... If you fight with those men in black on the street, I don't think you will be able to evacuate all the civilians in this block even if I give you ten hours!"
Aya nodded. She also knew that an exchange of fire would only cause greater chaos and make things even more difficult to handle.
"The target is dead, there's no need to stop those men in black." Ke Lan said to Asano Akira on the communication channel shared by the three of them, "Aya is seriously injured, come and take her out, and evacuate this block."
"What about you?" Asano Akira asked a question in the communication channel that Aya had just asked not long ago.
"I have more important things to do than worrying about me." Ke Lan replied, "I am... you know, to put it nicely, I cherish my life, to put it bluntly, I am afraid of death. I will not do anything risky."
"But the fact is that you are always taking risks," said Asano Akira.
His voice came not only from the headphones, but also from the corridor not far away - in just a few seconds, he had retreated from the entrance of the basement to the door of the "bedroom".
His body was covered in blood, and his thin hair was wrapped in sticky blood plasma and tied into clumps on his forehead and cheeks, but the blade of the sword in his hand was extremely clean, without any stains.
"If it was the old dog who said he wanted to stay behind to cover our retreat, then he definitely didn't intend to live, even though he has always been the one we feared the most." Asano Akira continued, "But I believe in you. You will definitely find a way to get out alive."
Aya glanced at Asano Akira in surprise - since she came into contact with the group of people from the God Hunter Group, this was the first time she heard this blind swordsman with abnormal strength say so many words in one sentence.
