Rewind a few hours, and Rock Base was engulfed in flames amidst a deafening explosion.
Blade was carried by the level seven wind-type zombie as they sped along the dilapidated streets of Beijing.
Each leap of the zombie covered a distance of more than ten meters, its speed leaving afterimages in its wake...
Just as they were about to reach their destination, a deafening explosion came from behind them.
Brother Ren turned around abruptly, his pupils suddenly contracting—the distant sky was dyed blood red, towering flames illuminated half the sky, and thick smoke billowed and rose.
"It's over..." Brother Ren's face turned deathly pale instantly: "The things the boss prepared for that person... I wonder if they'll be blown up..."
He cursed through gritted teeth, "A bunch of ignorant brats! I'll chop you all to pieces!"
At this moment, the zombie hordes on both sides of the road were attracted by the sound of the explosion and rushed frantically towards the Rock Base.
The rotting bodies collided with each other, making a grating sound.
A fierce glint flashed in Blade's eyes as he controlled the wind-type zombie.
A series of streaks of green light flashed, and the horde of zombies in front was instantly cleared out, leaving a vacuum zone where severed limbs and broken pieces flew everywhere.
The wind-type zombie accelerated again, carving a bloody path through the horde of zombies.
Half an hour later, at a secret base.
Just as Blade and the level 7 wind-type zombie approached the gate, the heavy iron gate slowly opened.
The patrol officers, who had been waiting there, quickly stepped forward: "Team Leader Blade, the car is ready. The boss wants you to see him immediately upon your return!"
"Understood!" Brother Ren's heart tightened, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
He noticed something unusual in his teammate's eyes—a mixture of sympathy and schadenfreude.
The black sedan drove through the park and eventually stopped in front of a villa.
Brother Ren took a few deep breaths, trying to calm his rapid breathing, and straightened his disheveled collar before raising his hand to knock on the door.
"Boss, it's me!"
"Come in." A cold voice came from inside the door.
Brother Ren pushed open the door and entered, only to see the boss standing with his back to him in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Only one desk lamp was on in the room, its dim, yellowish light making the atmosphere even more oppressive...
"Yu Ren, is this what you did?" The boss slowly turned around.
"Just a few rats... Not only did you fail to kill them, you also got yourself into such a mess... and even my experimental subjects, gifts, and the rock are all gone!"
With each word spoken, the temperature in the room seemed to drop a degree.
Blade could even hear his own heart pounding.
With a thud, he knelt down without hesitation, his voice trembling slightly with fear: "I'm sorry, boss. Please give me another chance!"
The boss slowly walked up to him, placed one foot on Yu Ren's back, and said contemptuously, "Opportunity? Do you deserve it?"
"Boss, they...they are all ability users from the Flameheart Base!" Blade Bro explained rapidly, lying on the ground.
"During this encounter, I discovered that they have quite a few level 5 and 6 ability users, and even some dual-ability users!"
"As long as we take down Flameheart, these people will definitely be able to make up for our lost test subjects... This time, I will definitely not let you down!"
"It seems these little mice are more valuable than I thought." The boss turned and walked to the wine cabinet, slowly pouring himself a glass of red wine, the bright red liquid swirling in the glass.
"Since the Rock is gone, let Flameheart take its place. Yu Ren, if we fail again this time..."
"Your subordinate is willing to die to atone for your sins!" Brother Ren hurriedly pledged his loyalty, pressing his forehead tightly to the ground.
The boss waved his hand dismissively: "Get out!"
Blade felt as if he had been granted a pardon and scrambled out of the room.
It wasn't until he closed the door that he realized he was soaked to the bone, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.
"Flameheart...a dual-elemental ability user..." the shopkeeper murmured to himself, "It seems the game is getting more and more interesting."
