"Okay, Miss Lu!" Yu Wei nodded quickly.
"Xu-ge and I will lead the way, Yan-ge, you guys follow..." Lu Nange quickly deployed the troops, her gaze sweeping over the group behind her: "Those in the back, stay alert and maintain formation."
Chi Yanzhou: "Ci-ge, A-Qi, Ji Xian, Chi Yi... you take Sang Che and the others to cover the rear..."
Lu Xici, Gu Qi, and the other three nodded in unison and walked towards the back of the group...
Lu Nange tucked the branch from her shoulder into Lu Beiye's arms: "You must stay close to me."
Lu Beiye: "Okay, sister."
She looked up at the macaw circling in the air and instructed, "Gangzi, come down and protect Sister Wenqing."
"Caw!" Gangzi let out a short cry, its body shrank, its wings fluttered gently, and it hovered on Wen Qing's shoulder.
After making the arrangements, Lu Nange and Shi Xu exchanged a glance and stepped onto the stairs leading underground.
The moment their feet touched the ground, their spiritual energy rapidly spread downwards along the deep staircase.
At this moment, inside the underground laboratory, Liang Xin, who had escaped the "door panel" disaster, was leading the surviving superhumans in a panic toward the stairwell.
"Hurry up! We have to get out of here!"
However, before they even got close to the stairwell, a terrifying mental pressure descended upon them like a mountain crashing down on them!
"Ugh!"
Liang Xin and several other level-five ability users felt as if their heads had been hit by a heavy hammer. With a "thud," they uncontrollably knelt on the ground, veins bulging on their foreheads, clutching their heads in pain.
Those lower-level ability users, at levels three and four, fared even worse, dying instantly from headshots, their bodies splattering red and white matter everywhere...
Fresh blood slowly flowed down the cold ground...
Lu Nange and her group swaggered down the stairs and stood in front of Liang Xin and the others who were struggling in pain.
Despite the excruciating pain in his head, Liang Xin struggled to lift his head and look at the uninvited guests before him: "Who...who are you people?"
Lu Nange looked down at him: "Lead the way, or die?"
Almost simultaneously, the survivors, propping their heads up, shouted in unison...
"I'll lead the way!"
"I know the way!"
"We'll lead the way!"
Shi Xu: "No, there are too many of you. We only need... one."
Liang Xin quickly interjected, "Me! I know it best! I'm familiar with the entire layout of the lab!"
A man in a white lab coat wearing glasses suddenly spoke up: "I know everything he knows, but only I know the experimental data here!"
He's just a guard; he doesn't know anything about research!
Liang Xin whirled around, his eyes blazing with fury as he glared at the speaker: "Cai Xun, you bastard!"
Cai Xun: "Liang Xin, what's wrong with wanting to live?"
Gu Wan: "What a good dog-eat-dog show!"
Shi Xu whispered, "Brother Yan, Nan Nan... I want to learn how to do that experiment."
Lu Nange's gaze swept over the people kneeling on the ground: "Hmm... Brother Yan, A Ye, Brother Xu, one for each of you directly opposite?"
As the four attacked simultaneously, Liang Xin and the others stared wide-eyed as they fell straight to the ground...
Just then, all the team members from the Flameheart Base had entered the laboratory in an orderly manner and lined up in the corridor.
Shi Xu looked at Cai Xun, the only survivor: "What, aren't you getting up yet? Want to stay with them?"
Cai Xun trembled, scrambling to his feet, his face pale: "N-no, I wouldn't dare..."
