When Knight brought Silin and the others over, the lab was busy, so there was basically no one at the staff dormitory. It was fine as long as they could avoid the surveillance cameras. As for the surveillance cameras, it wasn't difficult with Huimao and Czedow around.
It was also because the lab was busy that Yue Lou and Feng Haichao were the only ones in the room. The others were collecting information at various places.
Yue Lou and Feng Haichao thought that they were rescuers when they saw Knight bringing them in, but they quickly dismissed the thought. With their eyesight, there was no way they couldn't tell the difference between an experimental subject and an outsider.
But after they heard Cillin's words, their wariness turned into surprise and doubt. They believed that Knight wouldn't do something so stupid as to dig up their secrets without permission, but who in the world was this person who saw through their secrets with a single glance?
Yue Lou, who was playing with his gun on the bed, sat up. The gun that had disintegrated into parts in midair became whole again when it landed in his hand. Tang Qiuqiu's red eyes flashed when she saw Yue Lou's move.
At first, Knight was thinking about how to introduce Silin. After all, Silin was' dead 'back then. He didn't expect Silin to expose himself. This was fine. Only when both sides knew each other's background would they be able to cooperate better. Although this operation to 'search for evidence' was classified, it wouldn't be classified anymore after the incident was successfully concluded. The public would be able to guess some things from the media.
After Knight's explanation, Yue Lou and Feng Haichao only sighed for a moment. They weren't too surprised by Silin's' resurrection '.
"That's why Yue Lou said back then that someone like Silin wouldn't die so easily." Feng Haichao smiled.
Knight was conflicted. Why was he the only idiot who thought that Silin was dead? No wait, there was also Lung. Both of them had idiotic thinking.
But it couldn't be helped. At the time, they had witnessed Silin's assassination. He was shot through by a bullet in front of so many people and bled so much. Not even the instruments could detect any signs of life. It was hard not to believe it.
Hearing their conversation, Tang Qiuqiu bit her finger, "Are you guys talking about the time Silin was shot at Seven Lights back then?"
Knight and the other two looked at Tang Qiuqiqiu at the same time with inquiring eyes.
Tang Qiuqiqiu continued to bite her finger, but she didn't say anything.
Silin rubbed Tang Qiuqiu's head. "She was the one who copied the gun."
The mouths of Nat and the other two formed an O shape.
Looking at the gun in Tang Qiuqiqiu's hand, Knight came to a realization. If she had such skills, it was no wonder Silin gave her the gun.
"It seems like we have two sharpshooters here," Feng Haicao said.
Tang Qiuqiqiu looked at Yue Lou. When she saw Yue Lou playing with a gun, she knew that his marksmanship was very good. It wasn't because of the way he played with the gun, but because of the way he looked at the gun.
It was obvious that Yue Lou was very interested in this young sharpshooter. "If there's a chance, let's compete."
"Okay."
During this time, Silin discussed their next operation plan with them. With Czedow and Huimao's help and Knight's cooperation, things should be a lot easier.
"The reinforcements should be arriving soon, and the evidence we've gathered is almost there. When the time comes, we'll be able to send a message to the reinforcements," Knight said.
"As long as we follow this plan, everyone will be able to retreat in one piece." Feng Haicao nodded.
While they were talking, another person entered the room. Silin didn't know this person.
"Luther, you're back."
Knight introduced Silin and the others to Luther. He emphasized that Silin and the others were trying to rescue their companions, and that Silin and Knight were old acquaintances.
Luther only nodded expressionlessly.
Silin wasn't angry at Luther's reaction. It was because Luther was shrouded in a dark aura right now, and it was obvious that he was in a bad mood. Considering his cautious personality, he didn't even ask about Silin's background.
"What's wrong?" Feng Haicao asked.
Luther exhaled heavily. "Don't count on the reinforcements. They won't make it in time, and it'll take them at least forty to fifty hours to get here."
"Forty to fifty hours?! A new batch of exotic beast puppets would've appeared by then!! Then what the fuck is the point of fighting! "Knight immediately swore when he heard Luther's words.
Come to think of it, there were so many reinforcements. Even if they didn't let Miracle know what they were planning, with so many old foxes in Miracle's management, they would definitely create some trouble just in case and obstruct them. Plus, the voices in the army weren't unified, so after going around in circles, they might not be able to rush over even if they were all wiped out.
Crouching on Silin's shoulder, Huimao's tail wagged intermittently. He didn't look worried, but he seemed to be thinking about something. Hearing that there was no reinforcements, he glanced at Silin and looked down again.
How could Huimao's little movements escape Silin's eyes? After spending so much time together, he knew what kind of sh * t this cat was going to take as soon as it wagged its tail.
Stroking Huimao's ears, Silin told it to use that method if there was no other way.
Huimao couldn't hold back its excitement. It meowed and rubbed its face against Silin's face.
Knight's face twitched. 'Motherf * cker! What kind of situation is this, and you're still acting like a master and servant?! '
When the members of the team returned, Tang Qiuqiu met the person who injected him. It was one of the members of the operation team, Ruo Lin.
"Thank you, big brother. I'll treat you to some candy when we get out."
Ruo Lin pinched Tang Qiuqiu's face with a smile. "Sure."
Knowing that there would be no reinforcements, the operation became much more difficult.
"Shelt's experimental subjects are very strong. It's useless even if you shoot them in the heart, you can only hit their heads. Those puppets no longer have their own thoughts and only listen to their 'master'. "Knight explained the situation at the base to Silin.
They could still tamper with the defense system a little, but those puppets were too difficult to deal with. Those people were originally A-rank genotypes, and they became even stronger after being modified.
The guards in the base were basically these modified humans, and some of these modified humans would be sold at a high price after being modified. Whether it was assassination, bodyguard, or combat, these people were all very good choices. But it was different for Knight's group. After all, there were only ten of them, and even with Silin's group, they weren't confident that they could escape. Without reinforcements, they would all die here unless they stopped the mission and hid here until reinforcements arrived. But if they did that, they would miss out on important evidence, and it would also give the people of 'Miracle' time to whitewash it. It would be difficult to find an opportunity then.
Time waited for no man. Seeing that they still hadn't come up with a good plan, Silin said, "I have an idea, but it'll cause a lot of commotion when the time comes."
"What idea? Tell me first. "Knight asked Silin.
Silin took out a round ball about the size of an egg.
"There are thousands of parasite eggs inside. These are a type of parasite called 'Brain Devouring'. They will feed on the host's brain during parasitism in order to satisfy their own growth needs."
All ten people's faces twitched without exception.
"Vanguard Division Six? You're that person?! "Ruolin exclaimed.
Knight only said that Silin was a Hunter of one of Vanguard's B Squadrons. He didn't elaborate on the specifics, nor did he mention which B Squadron he was from. But speaking of parasites, Ruolin recalled a piece of news he had heard before.
Ruolin continued, "Someone told me about eliminating Poison Fang and killing Skeleton King back then."
Knight and the others looked at Silin in a flash.
"So it's you!"
The A Squadron of Vanguard had covered up the fact that they had eliminated Poison Fang back then and did not reveal who it was. Not many people knew that it was the Sixth Division who did it. But there were still some people who knew part of the truth.
Skeleton King had died a terrible death. They had seen images of "Skeleton King" through certain channels, and it was no surprise that their blood ran cold. They also knew that the main cause of "Skeleton King" and "Poison Fang"'s demise was parasites.
They never knew that parasites could be as powerful as biological weapons or high energy weapons.
Now that they saw the 'egg' in Silin's hand, all ten people took a step back in unison.
"Uh … how are you going to guarantee that these parasites won't attack us?" Knight swallowed and asked.
Silin took out another box of pills and tossed it to Knight, "These pills will keep these parasites away from you."
Although Knight believed in Silin, the others were still skeptical. Ruolin, on the other hand, was more excited than the others. He hadn't been satisfied when he heard that person's story, but now he finally had the chance to experience it himself.
Those who knew herbalism examined the pills Silin gave them and proved that they would not harm the human body. Moreover, the effects of the pills were limited. After this time, the pills would break down in the body and be excreted as bodily fluids or metabolites.
"The duration is fifty hours. There aren't many people here, so there are thirty pills. Everyone should bring two pills just in case. We'll talk about it again if there's a special situation." Silin took back the pills and said.
"That's fine, but you must first prove that this pill is effective." Someone said.
"Then let's find two people and try it."
And so, Luther knocked out a researcher, brought him back, gagged him and locked him inside a small bedroom. Knight was also inside the bedroom.
This was Knight's own initiative. After he swallowed a pill, he crossed his arms and leaned against the wall of the bedroom.
There were three insect eggs in the bedroom. After they hatched, three little fellows the size of ants crawled out. After a brief pause, they crawled straight towards the researcher. The insect egg beside Knight crawled away like a mouse that saw a cat after it hatched. It crawled straight towards the researcher on the other side of the bedroom.
Knight in the bedroom and the operation team members outside the bedroom heaved a sigh of relief. Then, they stared closely at the unconscious researcher.
Ten minutes later, the researcher began to twitch. The veins on his forehead bulged and his breathing quickened. Half an hour later, the researcher's face turned green and bloodless. His breathing slowed down and his body spasmed.
Knight touched his forehead. It was covered in cold sweat.
