The insects inside the transparent barrier began to grow restless. Some of the insects that had already burrowed into the native beasts' bodies rushed out in an attempt to break through the barrier. Some of the Poison Fang members saw it clearly. Perhaps it was because the insects happened to be in an area where the bones were densely packed, they bit through the native beasts' bones. They opened their mouths wide and let out sharp cries that could be heard even through the transparent barrier.
The white bones that had been bitten through the uprooted flesh were very eye-catching. The Poison Fang members who saw this scene unconsciously shuddered. No wonder those who had been bitten had screamed so miserably, and no wonder those who had committed suicide without hesitation the moment they were bitten. Enduring this kind of pain was indeed worse than death.
Caragno pressed another button, and several jets appeared inside the transparent barrier. Crimson tongues of flame spat out of the jets, and the transparent barrier was instantly filled with flames. Someone beside him moved closer to Caragno and reported the situation over at the warehouse. Caragno waved his hand and motioned for them to leave it be for now. At the same time, he turned on the communicator and said something. Then, he returned to his previous posture and looked down at the situation below from above.
The transparent barrier might have isolated the inside from the outside, but in reality, there were ventilation holes in all four directions. These ventilation holes only allowed air to flow, but not the insects inside to escape. Smelling the faint burnt smell in the air and listening to the sharp cries of the insects inside, the Poison Fang members laughed arrogantly. It was also the most carefree laughter they had heard in the past few hours. However, they did not know that this would be the last time they would laugh like this in their lives.
At the same time, Silin and Huimao were hiding somewhere close to Poison Fang's research base.
In order to cut off Poison Fang's hope, they had to destroy this research base. Silin knew what kind of place Poison Fang's research base was. It reminded Silin of the underground laboratory in the slum town. It was so cold and merciless, and filled with twisted and crazy people.
Huimao was crouching on the ground like a cat with his ears pressed down. His eyes were staring blankly at the research base not far away from him. The defense measures of the base were very good. It only needed to "listen" to know that it would not be easy to break in. Otherwise, the defense system outside would directly blast them into pieces. Just as he was about to ask Silin what he should do, he turned around and saw Silin take out something the size of a lunch box. Huimao was furious. "Silin, you glutton. Now is not the time to eat a boxed meal!"
Silin: "…"
In this world, the one who was least qualified to say such words was this stupid cat! Still eating boxed lunches? Who would be so stupid as to squat in such a place and eat a boxed lunch?! Only a gluttonous cat like you would think of that!
Silin pinched Huimao's ear. "Good boy, go dig a hole. Drop this thing right under the base and retreat quickly. Pay attention to concealment and shielding, you understand? "
"There's no need to ask questions about such simple things." Huimao picked up the small box with its mouth and dug its front limbs like a drill bit.
After predicting the possible underground scanning range, Huimao dug to the depth Silin mentioned and moved towards the base. After confirming the location, it put the small box down and quickly returned along the original path.
Before the gray cat could even boast about its achievement, Cillin had already grabbed it and started running madly. Before he ran, he didn't forget to throw a few "quail eggs".
After retreating to a safe area, Silin put Huimao down.
"Meow, are you running for your life?"
"Their scanning system has just switched to life signal scanning. Any life signal outside the base will be mercilessly killed by the defense system. It should be the Skeleton Boss's order. " Usually, because there would be guards and patrols around the base, life signal scanning wouldn't be activated. But just now, it was activated.
"Good alertness, but we retreated quickly. They probably didn't notice, right?" Huimao looked towards the base. The few 'quail eggs' that Cillin had tossed down earlier had been completely annihilated by the defense system. The bugs that were hiding in the dark had also been killed.
"No, we retreated quickly. If we were a second slower, we wouldn't have survived."
"That's good. But, what is that box?" Huimao asked.
"It's specially prepared for this kind of laboratory."
Huimao flicked its ears and continued to stare at the situation. It wanted to see what the "specially prepared" thing Silin mentioned was.
Five seconds later, the alarm of the entire base rang.
"Life signal scanning is off!" Silin threw a few "quail eggs" in that direction. From the moment he remotely controlled the switch on the box, the base's scanning system had discovered this thing underground. However, Silin had added some interference devices on the outer shell of the box, so that the scanning system's analysis of the level of danger would take a lot longer. By the time the analysis was completed, there wouldn't be many chances left for the people in the experimental base to escape.
Hearing Silin's words, Huimao was about to ask why when he saw the base's gate open. A group of people rushed out, and the entire base began to sink.
The screams did not stop, each louder than the one before. There were all kinds of screams of unwillingness, despair, sorrow, and fear. Those who escaped had to face the "Birds of Paradise" that had broken out of their shells. There was no way out at the back.
Huimao, who was at a loss, suddenly froze. Its fur stood on end. It saw that the base was turning into sand from the inside out …
The sandstorm and the "Birds of Paradise" were undoubtedly a devastating blow. Although the people wearing protective suits were no longer afraid of the "Birds of Paradise", the thick protective suits affected their movements, causing them to be unable to keep up with the speed of the "Birds of Paradise". They were pulled into the whirlpool and turned into sand.
The circular area with a diameter of five hundred meters had turned into sand, mixed with the wind and dust of the Scarlet Sand. Soon, this area would become a part of the Scarlet Sand Region. There would no longer be a base, only a piece of sand.
Silin was a little lost in thought as he looked at the sand. It was as if he had returned to that rainy night when he entered the underground laboratory and was tied to the experiment table. Those people had imposed their madness on the innocent, and then they had achieved glory and left their names in journals with high contribution points. However, did they ever think about those innocent people who were forced to die on the experiment table, and those restless souls?
Silin had no right to criticize those crazier researchers. To a certain extent, Silin himself was not much better. Who was good and who was evil? Who was right and who was wrong? Silin did not want to think so much. It was enough to live and live with those who were good to him.
Taking a deep breath and smelling the smell of sand mixed with blood, Silin put aside other complicated thoughts and turned to look at Huimao, who was still stiff and angry, and poked its back with a finger in amusement.
"Meow!!"
Huimao arched its back and jumped up high.
Well, it was scared silly again. Stupid.
Coming back to its senses, Huimao angrily jumped onto Silin's shoulder and stretched out its forelimbs to slap Silin's face.
"Okay, okay, my fault. I shouldn't have suddenly attacked you when you were in a daze."
"I wasn't in a daze, I was just thinking! I was thinking! "
"Yes, yes, thinking, thinking."
After pacifying Huimao, the man and the cat moved on to the next step.
