One by one, the demon soldiers arrived at the microbial cultivation room.
Then he pushed on his toes, climbed onto the edge of the gap in the ceiling, and successfully entered the cave.
The twenty-meter tunnel was not short, and they crawled for nearly half a minute before they saw the light.
Just before climbing to the cave entrance, the demon soldier seemed to touch something.
The next moment, there was a loud "bang!"
The gap in the ceiling seemed to be forcibly closed by an invisible giant hand.
Mud, sand and gravel poured down like raindrops, hitting the ground and raising a cloud of dust.
The unfortunate soldier didn't even have time to let out a scream before he was torn to pieces by the sudden explosion.
Fragments of flesh and blood mixed with dirt and sand, and the remains of the body were swallowed by the soil.
The cave was completely destroyed by the huge impact.
The originally neat passage was instantly shattered, and the loose soil completely buried it.
The leading officer's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it. He stared at the already closed gap, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
In his opinion, this was tantamount to a provocation to him and the entire demon race.
"Immediately contact the troops remaining in the east district and have them search westward, starting from the city!"
There was a hint of gnashing in his voice as he gave the order, and his pupils shrank into sharp points due to anger.
"As for us, one team will stay and continue searching the lab, and the rest of you will follow me up!"
After saying that, he turned around without hesitation and headed towards the exit of the laboratory.
The military is naturally well aware of the general structure of the laboratory.
They also knew the exact location of the laboratory underground in the city.
Therefore, it was not difficult for the officers to deduce where this hole led to.
All it takes is some time to investigate.
However, at this moment, time waits for no one.
The thief who had come and left quietly at an unknown time was found.
To ensure that this cunning "rat" does not take the opportunity to escape, the military must act quickly.
Fortunately, they could leave through the main gate and start searching inward along the coastline.
In this way, together with the troops coming from the east district, a tight encirclement was formed.
As long as the little thief has not left Shahai City, he will inevitably become a turtle caught in this dragnet.
There was undisguised murderous intent in the officer's eyes.
"Find it for me!"
"Anyone who resists will be killed on the spot!"
…
"The demon army is in urgent need of a breakthrough, or rather, a place to vent. They will not let you go."
Inside the headquarters of the Human Race’s intelligence team in Shahai City, an intelligence officer analyzed rapidly.
His eyes met Yan Fei's for a moment, and then he looked away.
"In order to give an explanation to the higher-ups, they will definitely search every corner nearby."
"If this continues, there's a high possibility that our base in Shahai City will be exposed."
After hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.
Indeed, the situation in Shahai City is special. There are laboratories and shelters underground, so the inspection of underground facilities is very strict.
Therefore, most of the bases of the Shahai City Intelligence Group are of the "hidden in the city" type.
On weekdays, the Shahai City officials don’t pay much attention to it.
In addition, this is a port city with frequent personnel movement, making it difficult for them to be discovered.
But now it's different.
The stressed demon army will definitely search every inch carefully, and these strongholds cannot withstand such an investigation.
Exposure is inevitable.
Now it depends on whether we can minimize the losses as much as possible.
Lu Qianyu glanced at Yan Fei, waiting for him to make a decision.
Yan Fei didn't think for too long.
Almost the next second after the intelligence officer finished speaking, before anyone could react, he made the decision.
"I will serve as bait to lure away most of the demon army."
He paused and then continued.
"However, I ask that you all ensure the safety of my subordinates and ensure that the information is transmitted back to the capital."
This is Yan Fei’s bottom line.
If he doesn't agree, he will judge that there is a problem of principle in the intelligence team here.
In this case, he would decisively choose to escape quietly with the intelligence.
Before he could wait for the answer from the head of the Shahai City Intelligence Group, Lu Qianyu, who was sitting next to him, spoke first.
"I will carry out this bait plan with Mr. Yan Fei, and..."
"I am confident that I can lead away at least 80% of the demon army."
Yan Fei tilted her head to look at him, meeting his light brown pupils with a hint of black.
One of his lifeless gray eyes was clearly reflected in it.
He turned his gaze away and tacitly agreed to Lu Qianyu's joining.
By himself, he really couldn't lead away 80% of the demon army. At most, he could only attract the attention of 60% of the demon army.
And it's hard to escape.
In a frontal combat situation, the loss of sight in his eye would indeed be a hindrance.
After hearing this, the intelligence team members present looked at each other.
Finally, it was the person in charge who made the decision.
"Okay, we will be responsible for the transmission of intelligence and the subsequent placement of all intelligence personnel."
"You can take your pick from our arsenal."
"Excuse me, both of you."
The person in charge and a group of investigators stood up and saluted solemnly, "Please make sure to escape from Shahai City alive."
…
Unlike the tense atmosphere in Shahai City, the atmosphere inside the Second Research Institute of the Sea Clan in the Arctic Ocean is peaceful at this moment.
Oh, no, it shouldn’t be said as “peaceful”.
