Chapter 654 - Chapter 654: Chapter 654 Task Completed (2/2)

It’s like a missile. Until it lands on the target, the powerful warhead is of no use. It needs propulsion devices and a guidance system. Xiao Pingguo and Yang Zhen’er are the ones who help Tang Baona to package the potent warhead into a missile and launch it.

Meanwhile, Gerald seemed to hold a locator as if announcing, “I’m here”.

Gerald would never realize that the terrifying destructive power of the “Square Sky Halberd”, which could crumble to the touch, was actually instigated by him.

He was an accomplice that drove himself into a corner…

Strictly speaking, this plan could have been completed by Xiao Pingguo and Tang Baona alone- their previous assignments had all been handled in this manner.

What Yang Zhen Er contributed was mainly icing on the cake, reinforcing the impact of the illusion on the target, and enabling Tang Baona’s destructive “Emotional Melody” to be delivered with greater precision and stability.

When Yang Zhen Er saw the minion that Xiao Pingguo had “summoned”, dressed in a new outfit, chopping up the “Old Vampire” in a majestic manner, she was ecstatic. Her pretty face turned bright red and she raised her fists high. If she hadn’t been in control of the illusion, she probably would have cheered out loud.

Yang Zhen Er regretted that Little Fatty Girl was not here and had missed how spectacular and powerful her illusion was!

Not only the ancient armour and the Square Sky Halberd of the minion, but also the arcs of lightning and light effects around it, the dark clouds and lighting above its head, and the gloomy sky, all were created by her. Even the light column was “modified” by her to make it bigger, stronger and more majestic.

But before she had been thrilled for long, “Minion Lv Bu” had already taken his stand again, with an expression of “Task completed, awaiting instructions” on his face. To her surprise, it was too fast!

She had yet to enjoy herself fully!

The ‘vampire’ that crawled out of this sarcophagus, who put on such a great show in the past, was so useless?

No resistance at all?

Tang Baona opened her eyes, looking at the “Old Vampire”, who, not unlike a damaged doll, already gave up the resistance and was at death’s door under the “Square Sky Halberd”, she took a deep breath, laughing at Xiao Pingguo and Yang Zhen Er, “Task completed! Let them come in and wrap things up!”

…

When Tang Baona, Yang Zhen Er, and Xiao Pingguo entered the bar, two vans parked behind their elongated luxury vehicle.

In the front vehicle, a man with an Eastern face and a Slavic man with brown hair and grey eyes sat in the driver’s cabin, anxiously looking at the entrance of the bar.

“Our target is in the bar? Surrounded by so many people?” The brown-haired man spoke in Chinese, although the accent was heavy, the words were still accurate.

The man in the driver’s seat spoke standard Mandarin, “They’re underground, according to the depth marked on the blueprint, it shouldn’t affect those above.”

“This is a Level A Task. If things go wrong in a place with so many people…” The brown-haired man said, expressing his worries. He had participated in a Level D task before and while they eventually accomplished the task without any casualties, the target of the task had a big impact on him, which could be said to be traumatic. If the targets in a Level D task were so horrifying and trickish, he could not imagine what they would face in a Level A task.

The Eastern man pointed to the elongated luxury vehicle in front and replied, “The elites from our home country are handling it this time, we’re only responsible for cleaning up and transporting, no need to worry.”

“I hope so …” The brown-haired man still appeared concerned.

After a while, the Eastern man whispered, “Korowin, I heard that our home base is looking to select some people for unified training, to nurture ‘Superpowers’.”

The man called Korowin frowned, “Really? Could superpowers be cultivated?”

He had no doubt about the existence of superpowers. In the “Post-Antarctic Crisis Era”, there have been numerous instances proving the existence of extraordinary organisms, and that some humans could possess special powers. Although the general public might not have much knowledge and could only speculate through various rumors, those of them who were field investigators in the “Research Base” had a deeper understanding, knowing more about the truth behind the information.

“I’m not sure, but I think it is true, and it should be announced soon. Maybe by that time, both of us will be able to return. By the way, have you met ‘Dr. Xia’ during your training in our home country? This time ‘Dr. Xia’ should be personally in charge.” The Eastern man quietly said.

Korowin recalled, “Only when I first arrived, along with those from Europe who arrived at the same time, we met ‘Dr. Xia’ once.”

“What does it feel like to meet ‘Dr. Xia’? I’ve heard from colleagues who came from our home country that ‘Dr. Xia’ is a demigod-like figure, omniscient and omnipotent. It appears that she has already mastered the source of ‘mutated Ability’ and might be able to regulate the evolution of organisms…” The Eastern man spoke excitedly, “When I was training back home, ‘Dr. Xia’ wasn’t at the base, we were led by ‘Mr. Liang’. However, I always felt that when he mentioned ‘Dr. Xia’, there was a hint of fear in his tone.”

“Surely not to that extent, ‘Mr. Liang’ and ‘Dr. Xia’ should be on the same level, right?”

“They’re equals only in name, in reality, everyone knows that ‘Dr. Xia’ is the boss. But I heard… that there’s an even more mysterious and powerful ‘leader’ within the research base.”

“You mean… the so-called ‘Savior’ who resolved the Antarctic Crisis?” Korowin asked.

“No, it’s someone else. I heard… and it’s just hearsay, that this leader is a very adorable little girl.” The Eastern man’s voice dropped even lower: “She might be the daughter of the ‘Savior’ and ‘Dr. Xia.’

As they talked, the radio in the car suddenly rang, startling both of them.

“The target has been neutralized, prepare for the transportation phase.” The speaker was the driver of the luxury vehicle ahead, who was also the captain of this mission.
