Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Seeing this, a lieutenant general with two stars on his shoulder, who was the person in charge here, immediately ordered the medical experts to come forward and check. Two medical professionals in white coats swiftly took up a small portable device and each went to a virtual pod.
The device quickly connected to the people lying inside. Looking at the data reflected by the device, the expressions of the two specialists grew increasingly grim. In the end, they could only shake their heads and stand up, regretfully telling everyone that the brains of the two people in the virtual pods had been completely destroyed — in other words, brain death in medical terms. Even if their hearts were still beating, they were actually already dead.
"How is this possible? They are the elite ability users of our bureau. They can't possibly be dead. You must have made a mistake." Hearing the announcement of the specialists, one of the major generals around 40 years old suddenly could not help but criticize.
"Wilson, calm down!" The lieutenant general shouted loudly, causing Major General Wilson, who had almost lost his cool in anger, to snap back to his senses. He clutched his head and squatted down, saying in a low voice in disbelief, "What in the world happened? Why did Pete Carter die? Could it be that our plan has already been discovered by Huaxia? "
"Didn't D1 and the others say that everything was going smoothly?" Wilson seemed to have thought of something. He raised his head abruptly, his sharp gaze fixed on a person in the crowd — a middle-aged man with the rank of major general just like him.
"Although D1 and the others have successfully infiltrated the virtual world of the Huaxia Federation, there are many restrictions. We are unable to transmit information, so we can only wait for the people they send back to find out more. The latest news is from two days ago. They suspected that Huaxia had sent people over to investigate, so in order to ensure the success of the plan, they requested to transfer spectres over..." That major general frowned, explaining the situation to Wilson.
Major General Wilson wanted to say something, but at this time, the lieutenant general walked over and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him, "Pete and Carter may have died, but that doesn't mean the plan failed. For the Empire, some sacrifices are necessary. Let's wait another 5 minutes and we'll know what the result is."
The lieutenant general's consolation made Wilson stop talking, only waiting patiently for these last 5 minutes. He also hoped that the plan would succeed, so that Pete Carter's sacrifice would be worth it.
Meanwhile, in the virtual world, D2, who was overseeing the secret research centre of the Swift Dragon base, saw that the two mecha teams he had just sent out had finally managed to stop the infiltrating enemy at the central square of the base. He temporarily relaxed and stared closely at the monitor in the central square, watching the situation of the battle between the two sides. At the same time, he did not forget to ask his subordinates about the evolution of the T-virus.
Time was drawing closer and closer to the completion stage, while that mecha clan that had infiltrated the base was still entangled with the two battle clans of the secret base. Only then did D2's heart finally settle...
After this period of battle, six out of the nine mecha that had infiltrated the base had been destroyed. Meanwhile, the two battle teams at the base were now left with only five battle teams. Both sides were covered in wounds from the battle. However, D2 did not care. After all, the mecha battle team guarding the secret base were all official mecha teams assigned to the Swift Dragon base. They had nothing to do with them at all.
D2 was only concerned about whether the mecha team could complete their mission and stop those mecha before the T-virus was successfully cultivated. And now, the mecha battle team was performing very well, successfully completing the mission he had given them.
At this time, even if the other side successfully finished off the last five mecha of the mecha battle team, they would not have time to rush over and stop their operation. The image of him becoming the Empire's chief meritorious official seemed to appear before D2's eyes. He would receive the supreme medal bestowed by the Emperor, and then come before the Parliament Building to bask in the frenzied adoration of his countrymen...
In another secret room, the two spectres who had been battling Li Lanfeng were already panting from exhaustion. They had almost exhausted all their spectre power, but were still unable to break through the other's defences.
"What's going on? Why is the other getting stronger the more he fights? At the start, his defences were still fluctuating, even showing gaps. Why did he become so indestructible half an hour ago? We've been attacking for so long, but there's no effect at all? " Carter asked Peter in confusion as he panted. This really did not conform to the common sense of spectre combat.
Peter had not thought much of it at first, but when he heard Carter's question, his heart lurched. He was just about to say something, but before he could open his mouth, his heart thumped wildly. This was a warning sign unique to spectre. The two of them paled and hurriedly pulled back their spectre power, but it was already too late.
A powerful, earth-shattering energy instantly enveloped their spectre power and then crushed it to smithereens. They could only hear their spiritual power being crushed like a water ball, and with a bang... there was no more 'after'.
No one saw that their bodies were turning into fine particles and slowly dissipating. This meant that their consciousnesses had been successfully wiped out.
"Boss, mission accomplished!" Little Four returned to Ling Lan's mindspace and reported smugly to Ling Lan.
Actually, since half an hour ago, Little Four had been silently intercepting the attacks of the other two. Li Lanfeng had been rather baffled by this — why had those two spectres attacking him suddenly disappeared? Because Little Four's power was too strong and he was very secretive, Li Lanfeng had not discovered the truth.
Ling Lan patted Little Four's head in satisfaction. Looking at the door in front of them, she asked, "Little Four, is this the place?"
"Yes, they're right inside. I can feel a familiar power inside. If Boss hadn't stopped me from going in, I would have long gone to investigate what that power was," grumbled Little Four.
"I'll bring you in right away. We can finally find out what the final answer of the mission is." Ling Lan instructed Little Four to prepare to open the door. At this time, Ling Lan had already withdrawn her mecha. On both sides of the door, Zilong and the others, who had also withdrawn their mecha, were hiding. They were already holding their respective laser weapons, ready to charge in at the first instance and take control of the situation inside instantly.
"There are still 4 minutes and 37 seconds before the T-virus matures." The hacker subordinate who had been in charge of cultivating the T-virus exclaimed in surprise when he saw the data reflected on the screen. In the past, they could only make a rough estimate. Only now could they truly confirm the exact time the T-virus would be born.
When D2 and D3 heard this news, they instantly came to stand before the cultivating T-virus screen excitedly, waiting together for the last 4 minutes or so before the T-virus would be born. Right then, the door that had been tightly shut all this while suddenly opened. Before they could react, a team of warriors wearing night combat suits suddenly rushed in, pointing the short but powerful laser handguns in their hands at them as they shouted, "Don't move!"
Several of the quick-witted people were just about to draw their guns when the other party, who had been prepared, shot them in the arm, stopping them from resisting. D2 saw that they had no chance at all and signaled for everyone to calm down.
The situation was quickly brought under control. At this time, the crisp sound of footsteps came from the door. A callous person exuding a cold aura walked in. His icy gaze swept over them indifferently, making their hearts tremble.
"Boss, mission complete!" Zilong excitedly waved his laser handgun at Ling Lan. Whether it was in the real world or in the virtual world, following Boss meant that there was no lack of exciting battles like this. Zilong felt that he had truly fallen in love with this sort of adventurous and exciting life.
When D2 saw the last person to walk in, he knew that he had fallen into a trap. This was because that person was the strongest mecha warrior currently operating his mecha and fighting against the mecha battle team on the monitor screen.
D2 and D3 subconsciously exchanged a glance, knowing that they needed to stall for time. Even if they had to sacrifice themselves here, they still needed to complete their mission.
"Who are you people? What are you doing here? " Turning back, D2 pretended not to know anything, asking in a terrified manner just as an NPC would.
However, all he received was silence. Zilong and the others naturally would not say much because their boss was here. As for Ling Lan, at this moment, her attention was drawn to Little Four in the mindspace.
The moment she had entered this hidden room, Little Four had suddenly become excited. Ignoring her initial warning, he had actually run out. In the virtual world, Little Four could wander around freely, unlike in the real world where he could only follow Ling Lan.
One second later, Little Four returned, an expression of surprise and joy on his face. He could not hide his excitement as he said, "Boss, I found something good."
"Oh? What is it? "asked Ling Lan calmly.
"Boss, this is unbelievable. Who would have thought that this world would actually have something like this?" Little Four's expression was dreamy. Even now, he still could not understand why this thing had appeared here. Logically speaking, with the technology of this world, this thing should not have appeared here.
"What in the world is it?" Ling Lan was speechless. This Little Four seemed to have been shocked by that thing, his entire person floating as if his soul had been turned upside down.
"It's a type of virus. It's right there. They seem to be cultivating it. This type of virus is really too famous in our Mandora star system. Back then, it had almost destroyed our powerful virtual world, wiping out all of us intelligent entities. Luckily, we had a powerful mainframe, so in the end, we still managed to take care of it. "Little Four's pride carried a trace of fear, as if he was extremely wary of that virus.
Ling Lan looked towards the direction Little Four was pointing at. D2 and D3 saw Ling Lan's gaze turn towards the T-virus, and their hearts skipped a beat. Their bodies moved uncontrollably, but they still managed to hold it in. This was because they knew that they could not appear too impatient. Otherwise, the other would become suspicious. In just another 3 minutes or so, the situation would be reversed, and success would be theirs.
Ling Lan walked over. One of the hackers tried to stop her from approaching, but before he could do anything, he was pushed aside by Luo Lang, who was following closely behind Ling Lan.
