During the day, everyone chose their own weapons. Of course, a newbie like Billis would not participate in this mission. Her mission was to stay in this house with the big dog and the Northern Ice Continent's lucky beast, Varo. This was to prevent them from dying in the mission.
The rest of the people were divided into three groups. First, Chu Hao, Robert Neff, and Aoqi were in one group. They were responsible for placing the antidote.
Next, Zhang Heng, Tom, and Tier were in one group. They were responsible for blowing up one of the air vents. Finally, Xi Kong and Stern were in one group. They were responsible for the other air vent.
Because there were not many combat personnel, the infiltration operation had to be carried out in secret. They had to avoid fighting the Mutants as much as possible. Because of the existence of psychic scanning, the possibility of infiltration was possible. It was not impossible. This was also why Robert Neff was surprised. The existence of psychic scanning completely changed the way small-scale battles were fought.
The day passed uneventfully. Because they had to prepare for the night's infiltration operation, Robert Neff did not go to the port to wait for anything. In his opinion, Chu Hao and the rest of the people who had not come over in the past few years should have either gone to the highlands or completely perished. It was basically impossible for there to be any living people in the plains or urban areas.
Chu Hao and the others, who knew the plot, did not mention the situation of the female protagonist in the plot because of Chu Hao's instructions. Although everyone was very puzzled, Chu Hao had given the order and did not explain. They could only keep it in their hearts and wait for Chu Hao to explain.
So the day passed with rest and waiting. Because there was still a lot of prey that Zhang Heng had hunted, and the foodie Xi Kong had personally cooked, everyone had a few delicious meals. Even Robert Neff could not stop praising the food. With so many people together, he, who had been alone for several years, was very touched. Although he did not say anything on the surface, he really treated Chu Hao and the others as his family in his heart.
Time passed, and when night came, everyone was very nervous, especially Robert Neff. He was most familiar with the horror of the Mutants. In the past few years, he had experienced countless life and death crises. Moreover, he was just an ordinary person. As the saying goes, the skilled are the bold. Only those with sufficient strength could ignore the danger. To put it bluntly, the danger might only be a slight pain or a breeze to him. What danger was there to speak of?
Therefore, Robert Neff's nervousness was completely different from Zhang Heng and Xi Kong's nervousness. The most reliable person was none other than Xi Kong. Her expression was almost normal. When it was time to leave, she was still eating the deer leg as if she was just going out for a walk. This made everyone sigh in their hearts …
"The world of a foodie is really incomprehensible." Zhang Heng shook his head and sighed.
"… I'll kill you." Xi Kong glanced at Zhang Heng and continued to eat, but there was a murderous tone in her voice.
"Ah, no, why did I say what I was thinking?" Zhang Heng looked shocked, but his tone was full of ridicule. There was no hint of apology in his tone.
Suddenly, a black light flashed, and Zhang Heng fled …
"Is it okay?" Robert Neff drank his coffee and asked Chu Hao in a low voice.
"Hmm? What do you mean? "Chu Hao was drinking tea and looking at the map. After hearing Robert Neff's question, he put down the map and asked curiously.
"They …" Robert Neff thought for a while, then said, "Although they all have special abilities, well, to put it simply, they may be like those people with special abilities in X-Men, so they were taken in by Area 51. But according to their age … they were probably studied in Area 51 before, right? They can't be considered as pure soldiers, right? Then this mission … "
Chu Hao suddenly smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. I've said before that Area 51 is not the cruel experiment you think it is. Although we do take in many people with special abilities, we also protect them and the outside world. I'm sure you can understand that. Living there, other than not being able to leave Area 51 and some daily tests, they won't be mistreated. And those who join Area 51's special operations team, which is what you call the X-Men team, say they have military ranks. After a political inspection, they are allowed to go home every year. We are the special operations team. Everyone here is a soldier, and many of them have participated in several wars."
"Is that so?" Robert Neff was really surprised because even he had not participated in a formal national war. At most, he had worked hard in New York in the past few years. He used to be a technical soldier, so there was no way he would have the opportunity to go to war. In that case, he might not have as much combat experience as these young people.
In any case, when it was gradually getting dark, everyone left the room and carefully walked outside. Ao Qi's psychic scan was at its maximum, and after confirming that there were no mutants around, everyone got on their bicycles one by one … Yes, bicycles. The sound of vehicles was actually very loud, especially in New York City, where there was no human noise at all. Even the slightest sound at night could alert the surrounding people. If they drove to the research institute, wouldn't it be telling all the mutants in New York that there was prey here?
Fortunately, everyone had enough stamina. Even Ao Qi and Robert Neff, who were the weakest among them, had enough stamina. Coupled with the fact that they had their Psychic Scan activated, they avoided all the mutants they encountered along the way. As a result, although they spent some time and effort on the road, they finally arrived at the vicinity of the research institute without any danger.
At this time, there was still some time before the battle began. Everyone rode their bicycles all the way here, and it took them four to five hours. They were tired and hungry, and they each took out the compressed dry food and sports drinks that Chu Hao had prepared for them. At the same time, Ao Qi's psychic scan was at its maximum capacity to scan the entire research institute.
The situation inside was just as Chu Hao had expected. There were less than a hundred mutants left in the entire research institute, and most of them were female mutants. They even found more than a dozen child-type mutants, or rather, baby-type mutants. The entire research institute was empty. Judging by the number of mutants left, it would not be difficult to kill them all.
However, because of the appearance of the baby-type mutants, everyone was a little hesitant. Robert Neff was the most hesitant among them. He said through the Soul Chain, "These … are they newly born mutants? This is the first time I've seen them … In such a situation, do we still have to continue? "
"Yes …"
Chu Hao said expressionlessly, "We have to continue. Let's not talk about the fact that these newborns are the continuation of the mutants. Let's talk about their numbers. There are only a dozen of them here. Do you know how many babies die every year because of lack of nutrition or because they are discovered by the mutants? I will never regret my choice … Continue the mission! Robert Neff, if you regret it, you can quit at any time. However, once you enter the mission, if you quit at that time, I will kill you. I will kill you with military orders! Do you understand? Colonel Robert Neff! "
Robert Neff had a complicated expression, but after a long time, he still said, "Yes, General, I will obey your orders."
Just like that, time passed second by second as it approached two o 'clock in the morning. Before it arrived, everyone began to look at their watches and enter the time limit. When it was two o' clock sharp, Chu Hao took a deep breath and took the lead to rush out of the hiding place. Then, he ran towards the research institute along the path that was scanned by his Spiritual Power.
The main entrance of the research institute was an elevator shaft that led downwards. However, with the arrival of the apocalypse, it was probably the work of the mutants in the research institute. The elevator shaft had been completely destroyed, turning into a large vertical gap. From top to bottom, it was more than 20 meters high. It was not a problem for the mutants. With their physical fitness, they could easily climb up such a gap. However, it was impossible for them to do so. After using the descending rope, everyone quickly reached the interior of the research institute from the gap.
The entire interior of the research institute was simply indescribably smelly. The excrement of the mutants, a large amount of garbage, bones, and rotting corpses were everywhere. A large number of flies were in the research institute. It was dirty, dirty, and messy. This was the impression that the entire research institute gave everyone. The Psychic Scan could not detect the smell. After walking for a short while, everyone felt as if their sense of smell had become numb and they could no longer smell anything.
After entering the research institute, the three teams split up and went to their respective targets. The first to reach the target was actually Xi Kong. She directly flew to the vent on her flying sword. Naturally, her speed was extremely fast. However, what made her a little surprised was that Stern had arrived only a little later than her. His speed was also far beyond that of an ordinary person. It seemed that his strength was not to be underestimated …
The entire operation was not difficult. With the help of the Psychic Scan, everyone easily avoided the mutants who stayed behind. After all, the entire interior of the research institute was indeed relatively large. Moreover, the smell here was so "strong" that as long as they did not get too close, the mutants would not be able to smell them. Just like that, the three teams took their respective positions. Following the sound of an explosion in the vent where Xi Kong was, another explosion sounded one after another. The mutants in the entire research institute were suddenly alarmed. They all rushed to the place where the explosion sound was closest to them.
At this moment … less than ten minutes had passed from the half-hour waiting time …
