Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Translator: H2dH2mr Editor: H2dH2mr At the main entrance of the secret warehouse base, the two Federation hackers who had been disguised as guards at the entrance were now lying motionless on the ground in a dark corner not far from the entrance. Meanwhile, Hollow Ground, who had been protecting the entrance and had blended in with the darkness, could no longer hide himself. He sat down in the dark corner, and under his hazy features, only he knew the pain and savagery he felt. He had already been holding on with all his might for almost two hours...
Right then, about 20 to 30 metres away from Hollow Ground, two black-robed men suddenly emerged from the darkness. They were dressed similarly to Hollow Ground — their faces were similarly hazy, their bodies shrouded in black robes.
The moment Hollow Ground saw these two appear, he knew that these must be the two spectres he had been fighting with for almost two hours. He did not know which faction they belonged to and why they had infiltrated the Swift Dragon base.
"These are the top-class spectres from Huaxia..." said one of them, looking at Hollow Ground in front of him. The other's voice sounded like a machine, grating and unpleasant to the ear. This strange voice had naturally been embellished by the other; it was not a real voice. In order to protect themselves, spectres would disguise themselves in all aspects so that they would not reveal the slightest flaw.
Hollow Ground did not answer. Right now, he was gritting his teeth and bitterly enduring the attacks of these two spectres. If he had been alone in this operation, against these two spectres of equal ability, he would definitely have chosen to flee as far as he could. But now, he could not. Not only were there two hackers here, there was also a team of companions behind him investigating the secret inside the warehouse. He could not abandon his comrades for the sake of his own life...
"You're still unwilling to give up even now, hanging on so bitterly... it's probably because of that team behind you, isn't it?" The other black-robed man sighed softly and said, "I can tell you first that they are just like you. They won't be able to survive... there are no so-called secrets inside at all. It's just a trap specially designed for people like you."
Hearing this, Hollow Ground jerked his head up and glared angrily at those two smug spectres. Actually, when he had sensed the two spectres attacking him, he had already vaguely sensed that this was very likely a trap for them. However, he still harbored extravagant hopes. Perhaps it was precisely because there was a secret inside that he had used two top-class spectres to guard it.
"You've also reached the point of exhaustion. Your tenacity has impressed us. That's why we came out to meet you." The voice of the spectre who had spoken at the beginning was filled with admiration. "It is our honour to be able to duel with a spectre like you."
Battles between spectres were very cruel. It was either you die or I die, or both sides suffer great losses, but this did not affect their respect for their opponents. Logically speaking, Hollow Ground's spectre power could only sustain their continuous attacks for an hour at most. But Hollow Ground had stubbornly held on for nearly twice as long. This kind of tenacious and unyielding spirit made these two spectres admire him.
Actually, in the Kaiser Empire, they had never been able to understand why some Huaxian soldiers, who were clearly not that strong, could explode with power several times their own at critical moments. For example, this spectre before them had managed to hold on for twice as long.
Hearing this, a flash of realisation passed through Hollow Ground's eyes. No wonder an opponent who should not have shown himself would suddenly appear before him. His emotions were complicated. In the end, he sighed and said, "In the end, I still lost."
He knew very well that he was already an arrow at the end of its flight and would not be able to hold on for much longer. As for the opponent, because the two of them had worked together to attack, each of them had time to rest and recuperate, so their spectre power was still quite abundant. The outcome was already clear.
The other black-robed ability user said regretfully, "From the moment you stepped into the Swift Dragon base, it was destined that we would fight to the death. If possible, can you tell us your codename? "
"I can't let my name become a badge of honour for you. I also can't let my country lose face because of this." Hearing this, Hollow Ground grinned. Without batting an eyelid, he squeezed all his spectre power together and then instantly unleashed it to attack someone. Even if he had to die, he would drag someone down with him …
Hollow Ground's spectre power suddenly clashed violently with one of the other spectre power. Although they could not see any movement in the virtual world, one of the black-robed spectres felt a thunderous explosion by his ear. The violent collision of energy caused his entire consciousness to tremble violently, even feeling like it was about to be scattered.
Seeing this, the other black-robed spectre's expression changed drastically. He reacted extremely quickly and decisively intercepted his opponent's spectre power. The two of them had always been partners and understood each other's spectre power. At the most critical moment, they merged their powers into their partner's spectre power. At the most critical moment, they managed to block that fiercest attack.
Caught off guard by Hollow Ground's attack, the black-robed person retreated three steps back and fell to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Meanwhile, the other black-robed person also shuddered violently. His face flushed red and then paled, but he recovered very quickly. He was not injured.
Hollow Ground made his final attack and found that his opponent had successfully intercepted it. He could only glance regretfully at the virtual world. His entire body was slowly turning into countless white dots and beginning to dissipate … perhaps when he had first accepted the mission, he had never imagined that he would lose his wings here. The only pity was that he did not know whose hands he had died at, so he had no way of contacting his partners to help him take revenge.
The two black-robed spectres watched as Hollow Ground's figure completely dissipated and became one with the virtual world. Only then did they heave a soft sigh of relief and relax. The injured black-robed person smiled bitterly and said, "Reiter, I didn't expect his final attack to be so powerful. If you hadn't intercepted it in time, I'm afraid I would have been seriously injured even if I didn't die."
"Witt, your mind must have wandered off during class." Reiter, who had recovered, could not help but chide him.
"Huh?" Witt turned to look at his partner beside him in surprise.
"The instructor said very clearly in the instructional class that the spectres of the other countries all have their own unique characteristics in battle, but the spectres of the Huaxia Federation have to be especially careful of their final attack before death. This is because when the soldiers of the Federation fail, they like to use methods of mutual destruction." Reiter repeated what the instructor had said back then.
After hearing this, Witt stuck out his tongue in lingering fear. He had indeed wandered off for a moment in class, but he had not expected to miss this most crucial sentence. He had almost died on the spot, but fortunately, his partner had been strong enough to save his life.
As Reiter said this, he had also used his spectre power to wipe out the two fallen hackers. Without Hollow Ground's protection, these two unconscious hackers were no longer spared. Like Hollow Ground, they turned into white dots and dissipated into the air.
In the headquarters of the Huaxia Federation's national security department, a loud alarm suddenly rang out from a certain room. The expression of the staff member monitoring the room changed abruptly and he hurriedly rushed towards the three virtual pods that were flashing red lights …
"We've finally finished off this spectres. It actually took us almost two hours. How embarrassing. Witt, hurry over to the centre of the secret base right now and help Carter and the others deal with the spectres there. " Reiter had long received D1's notification and knew that the spectres at Carter's place were even stronger than here. The two of them were evenly matched with the other, neither able to do anything to the other. Thus, Carter had specially requested for Witt to go over and help. If not for the fact that the battle here was also at a critical juncture, he would have long asked Witt to go over and help.
"D1 hasn't received any more notifications from D2. Carter and the others have probably already taken control of the situation there. I won't be of much use even if I go over. I might as well go with you to finish off that team of small fries down there." Witt was rather reluctant. He was afraid that if he rushed back, Carter and the others would have already finished off the other side. Not only would he have made a wasted trip, he would also not be able to get any battle results here.
Reiter glared at him exasperatedly and scolded, "Bastard, just go when I tell you to go. What's with the nonsense?" Seeing the reluctance on Witt's face, his heart softened and he said, "Don't worry, if there's nothing for you to do there, I'll share half of the battle results here with you."
Reiter of course knew what Witt was thinking, so he straightforwardly stated his plans. That team down there did not have any spectres guarding them. No matter how strong their combat ability was, in the eyes of a spectres like him, they were all defenceless babies, ready to be slaughtered without any difficulty at all. He did not mind sharing this kind of battle result with his partner.
"Reiter, you said it. You can't go back on your word. I'll go right away. " Witt said happily. Without waiting for Reiter to reply, his figure disappeared into the darkness of the night, darting towards the centre of the secret base. Although they were really like gods in the virtual world, flying and burrowing through the ground, teleporting, they were still much stronger than normal people. Moving stealthily was an instinct.
Reiter saw Witt leave in a hurry and could only shake his head helplessly. Witt's personality was still a little rash, but he was still young. As long as he was taught for a few more years, this would no longer be a problem. Following that, he walked through the main door, following the route taken by the Huaxia Federation's search team …
He had to deal with these people before Carter and the others dealt with those intruders, or they would become a joke. He had designed such a perfect trap, yet he had still spent so much time dealing with these people. If word got out, he would also lose face …
Not long after Ling Lan led Zilong and the others out of the main door, Li Lanfeng caught up with them. Ling Lan swept a glance over Li Lanfeng. Although his complexion was not very good, his expression was extremely resolute. Ling Lan knew that the leopard would be able to get through this with his own strength. She was very pleased and did not worry about this matter anymore.
When Ling Lan's team came in, because of the continuous fighting, it took them about one and a half hours to reach their destination. When they went out, although there were quite a few soldiers blocking their way, because their combat ability was far inferior to Ling Lan's team, they did not waste too much time. They arrived at the entrance of the tunnel in less than 20 minutes.
