"Kacha!"
As if to prove Feng Luo's words, a "metal cage" appeared on the floor in the middle of the spacious hall.
After that, an Asian NPC with a medium height and slightly white hair walked out. He looked to be in his 40s and was wearing a white scientific research suit.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm James Marcus."
The yellow-skinned NPC ignored the fierce gazes cast by the group of players as he spoke. A faint red light flashed in his eyes.
"Marcus, the person in charge of the most secretive department of the Umbrella Corporation."
Hearing this, be it the players from the Federation camp or the rebel army, all of their faces turned solemn.
"You're the one who brought us here? What are you trying to do? "
An Earth Manipulator among the rebel army players raised his hand and put on an energy shield that should have reached the Master Level. He asked with vigilance in his eyes.
"Shouldn't I be the one saying this?"
"Everyone, you've invaded the headquarters of the Umbrella Corporation, created all kinds of chaos, and even sneaked into this secret area that is marked as off-limits to outsiders. What are you trying to do?"
Hearing this, Marcus raised his eyebrows, and his eyes glowed with a red light.
However, before the Earth Manipulator player could say anything, Marcus had already continued speaking.
"However, this question is really meaningless.
I'll get straight to the point. There's no way out of this location. Since you're here, you can only leave if you become the experimental subjects of our Immortality Project. "
Marcus's glowing red eyes stared at the players with a fanaticism as if he was looking at experimental subjects.
"Immortality Project?"
Clearly, not everyone had seen the laboratory or gotten the research content of Area B, the core of the three major targets, in advance.
The six Federation camp agent players who had just arrived had a look of shock on their faces.
Aida Wong's expression did not change. Clearly, she had already known about this information.
"Immortality Project. Have you really mastered the technology of human immortality?"
The reaction of the rebel army side was relatively calm. Clearly, they had already known about it.
However, after hearing this, the moustached leading player questioned Marcus.
"Of course. We've already achieved success for the first time. However, we still need to conduct more experiments to verify it. "
Marcus nodded, and his eyes glowed red.
"That's impossible. In terms of biotechnology, there's no one on the entire planet that's better than us, the rebel army. Even the Galactic Empire in the past might not have gone as far as we do in the study of the human body! "
"With the current technology, it's impossible to achieve immortality!"
The mustached player shook his head and said firmly.
"It's just that your research direction is wrong … But, it's okay, you'll soon be able to see it directly. This is a great technology."
Marcus looked around at the players from both factions and replied in a disdainful tone.
"Oh, how long will it take?"
Ada Wang suddenly asked.
"Very fast, about half a minute …"
Marcus turned his head and stared at her with a profound look in his eyes.
"Half a minute is too long."
"If you can still live after I twist my head off, I'll give you a chance. Then, I believe you! "
Just as he turned his head, the mustached player's body suddenly surged with a powerful origin power fluctuation. His body instantly turned into a black shadow and directly pounced at Marcus from behind.
At the same time, he shouted fiercely.
"You …"
There was originally a distance of more than 30 meters between the two parties, but this distance was already very close when Marcus turned his head back.
"Boom!"
Then, among the crowd, those with poor dynamic vision could not even see clearly what happened.
They saw a black shadow directly fly backward to the ceiling that was ten meters high. After crashing hard, it fell heavily to the ground.
It was Marcus!
This result was undoubtedly out of the expectations of some players.
Because, from Marcus's confident and even contemptuous tone toward the players, no matter how they looked at it, he was full of confidence.
Shouldn't the mustached man be directly sent flying backward and vomiting blood?
How come Marcus was sent flying without the slightest resistance!?
Not only was he sent flying, but after he landed on the ground, the flesh on the side of Marcus's neck was flipped over, showing five shocking wounds.
It was clear that in that moment of contact, the mustached man had indeed twisted Marcus's neck as he said.
The reason why he could not twist it off was that on Marcus's neck, which was constantly flowing with blue blood, the spine that could be seen through the bone-deep wound was not the usual white, but a mechanical silver.
"Transforming oneself into a cyborg, combined with nondescript genetic modification, can one live forever?"
"I thought the Umbrella Corporation had really solved this difficult problem. I didn't expect the so-called Immortality Project to be so low-end."
After sending Marcus flying, the mustached man did not continue to attack. Instead, he spoke with a sincere tone of disappointment.
His current appearance was very different from when he first arrived.
His body had expanded a lot, and the surface of his skin had grown a thick layer of greenish-gray hair. His hands had also popped out long, sharp claws, and at that moment, blue blood that belonged to Marcus was dripping from them.
This appearance made Feng Luo feel like he was looking at "Wolverine" from the X-Men.
Of course, based on the combat power he had just displayed and the tone of his voice, it was clear that this person was not a player. Instead, like Nightingale, he was an NPC expert hidden among the players in this mission.
"I'm just a researcher. I released 80% of my body into machinery so that I could use the precision, computing power, and the characteristic of not needing to sleep to maximize my own research.
For research, I even created quite a number of clones to cooperate with me to complete this epoch-making achievement.
If I were you, I wouldn't move around like this. You should be very lucky that the previous attack did not trigger the energy core in my body. It has been a little unstable recently. "
Marcus, who was sent flying, slowly stood up. The wounds on his body healed at an extremely fast speed as he spoke with an indifferent expression.
When the mustached man, "Wolverine," had attacked Marcus, the others had originally wanted to cooperate, but after hearing what he said.
They could not help but stop in their tracks.
It was clear that this Marcus was just a clone, or even a simulated robot.
Thinking about it, as a high-ranking member of the Umbrella Corporation, how could Marcus put himself in danger?
Especially since the players themselves were already like turtles in a jar.
"What exactly do you guys want? Don't dilly-dally, just say it!"
Among the rebel army, a tall female warrior player with a cold expression spoke coldly. She had a slender body, long legs, and a pair of sharp legs.
As she spoke, the rebel army players around her suddenly became quiet. They were even quieter than when "Wolverine" had spoken.
"Tsk!"
After waiting for the wounds on his body to completely heal, Marcus reached out and pressed on his chest.
The next moment, his chest opened, and a miniature aircraft flew out, projecting a three-dimensional image in the air. The background was a sunny beach, and on it sat a middle-aged man leisurely drinking orange juice.
"Boss!"
Marcus bowed to the person in the image.
"Boss? The founder of the Umbrella Corporation, Spencer! "
"Didn't the intelligence report say that he has an incurable terminal disease, and his body is severely aging and unable to move?"
Seeing this middle-aged man, the players from both sides exchanged glances again.
As the big boss of the Umbrella Corporation, the intelligence report on Spencer, a Super S-rank wanted criminal from both the rebel army and the federal government, was known to both sides.
However, it seemed that this Spencer did not match the information in the intelligence report.
"These are the people you reported to."
"Yes, indeed, these people are almost all people who can meet the requirements of the Immortal Project. However, 36 is too many. "
The aircraft looked around. On the screen, Spencer did not even ask about the players invading the Umbrella Corporation. Instead, like Marcus, he directly talked about the Immortal Project.
"36 people? Does this guy not know how to count? Did he count his own people?"
The rebel army players were a little confused when they heard this.
However, Feng Luo and the others knew that this Spencer had counted Nightingale, who was hiding in the shadows, among them.
Spencer's next sentence made the hearts of both sides tense up, and their expressions changed.
"I only need 10 living test subjects!"
The reason why all the players' expressions changed was that after Spencer said this, a notification flashed in everyone's vision.
[Activated Hidden Mission: Spencer's Command!]
Note: If you die in this hall and within a 50-meter radius before killing Spencer, you will not be able to revive before the building is destroyed.
All the players could not help but curse when they saw the notification.
Originally, for the players, the mood of this mission was actually quite relaxed.
After all, although the mission was very difficult, failing the mission would only mean death.
Naturally, the players were not afraid of death. If they died, they would at most lose one level of experience and some items. As long as they did not lose any key equipment, the impact would not be too big.
However, it was undoubtedly different now. If they failed, then the players would not be able to revive for a period of time.
This punishment was definitely very severe.
The hidden headquarters of the Umbrella Corporation was located in a military camp. Destroying it was easier said than done.
If they were really trapped, they would have to pay a huge price and have the guild send a large number of players to attack and destroy the hall to get rid of it.
As long as there were only 10 "living" people, it meant that 26 people would have to die.
Therefore, when the system's mission notification appeared, the players from both sides looked at each other in a different light.
However, no one attacked immediately.
In such a situation, the first person to attack would definitely become the target of everyone and would most likely be the first to die.
More importantly, one sentence from Spencer was enough to make the players kill each other. In the end, more than half of them would die, leaving only 10 people who could not fight back.
Wasn't this looking down on the players' intelligence a little too much?
Therefore, after hearing Spencer's words, not only did the players not move, but they also signaled each other with their eyes.
The Scout players in the team kept using their Detection skills, trying to find a possible exit.
However, the materials in this hall were the same as the materials of the "metal prison" from before. They were all anti-detection, so the Detection skills could not get any results at all.
However …
"It's using the T-1000's communication technology. The Umbrella Corporation has indeed mastered this technology!"
Digital Cat's eyes lit up as her fingers tapped on the device slightly.
Under the situation where communication was completely cut off, the reason Marcus was able to transmit Spencer's image over was because he had used the "Model T" Terminator's hidden communication method.
"Perhaps this is the real reason why Marcus carried out mechanical modifications!"
