After listening to Silin's words, Shute dialed the communicator and said a few words before passing it to Silin, "You can talk to Boss Huo."
Silin took the communicator and explained the current situation to Huo Neil. He also sent over a series of data analyzed by the apparatus. The evidence was convincing enough.
"Keep all the blood and other samples you've collected. I'll send someone over to collect them. I'll have the other teams collect more samples as well." Huo Neil also realized the severity of the situation after listening to Silin's report and told Silin some things that needed attention.
"Alright, I got it. We'll pay attention …"
Silin suddenly paused while talking to Huo Neil. He swiftly turned around, raised his gun, and fired two consecutive shots. There was no hesitation or time to aim at all. Everything was done in one go.
Bang! Bang!
On the other side, Shute was still talking to his squad members. He had already realized the danger when Silin raised his gun, but before he could react, Silin's two bullets had flown over. The bullet swept past the tip of Shute's hair beside his ear. He could still feel the heat from the bomb flying past his face, as well as the burning smell of his hair left in the air by the bullet flying at high speed.
It was a black mouse about two meters long, excluding its tail. When the first shot hit it, the bullet had only exploded in a small area on its body, and the drugs hadn't quickly permeated its entire body. Therefore, if the second bullet hadn't come right after, it still had the strength to rip Shute's back in half with a single swipe of its claws.
The black mouse that had taken two bullets fell to the ground and twitched. Its blade-like claws left a few deep claw marks on the ground. It was obvious that they were much more resistant to the drugs in the bullets than the black mice before them.
Before the blood had completely turned to powder, Silin quickly took out a syringe and sucked a bit of the blood on the ground. He put it into a small tube filled with neutralizer and anticoagulant. Under everyone's shocked gazes, he even dug out a piece of the big black mouse's flesh and soaked it in the bag filled with neutralizer.
The squad members felt a chill run down their backs. They didn't know if it was because of the black mice or Silin. Didn't this kid know how to do something that made people feel at ease?! The black mouse was still twitching and hadn't stopped breathing, but this brat ran over to take its blood and dig out its flesh. Wasn't he afraid that the black mouse would strike again before it died?
The black mouse's eyes, which were so red that they seemed to be filled with blood, gradually dimmed and turned black. Finally, it stopped breathing and slowly turned into powder. However, the sharp claws were still intact.
"Thank you," Shute said after coming back to his senses. Although he had been talking to his team members, he was still on guard. No one had noticed the big black mouse's approach, and he himself only realized the danger when Silin raised his gun. Although Shute's back was facing the black mouse, he could still sense that the black mouse was charging at him. It was several times faster than the black mice in front of it, and it was also silent. By the time you noticed it, it was already too late.
Huo Neil's communicator was still on, and from the video settings on the communicator, Huo Neil had already seen the scene just now. There was no need for further proof. Huo Neil had truly witnessed the slightly stronger black mice Silin spoke of. If all the black mice under the base were like this, then the consequences would truly be unimaginable.
If it wasn't for Silin's reminder, the hidden black mouse elites would've taken the opportunity to kill off the research center and the last two teams who went to rescue them while all of their personnel were encircling the "mouse nest" at the waste treatment plant.
He picked up the undamaged black mouse's claw and slashed it across the lab table beside him. The hardened surface of the claw was easily cut open.
"Holy shit, this thing is so powerful!!" A team member exclaimed in surprise. This had completely exceeded their predictions.
"This big black mouse is probably here to patrol and see if the other teams have left. After all, the other teams should've left the base and were preparing to head to the waste treatment plant by now, but we're still here." Silin voiced his speculation. Moreover, the fact that this black mouse could come over safely meant that it wasn't afraid of the rat poison sprayed in the underground tunnel at all.
"I've already ordered six teams to return. I'll leave two teams and the weaponized spaceplane there. If they can't handle it, I'll just have the weaponized spaceplane flatten that area with its high energy cannons." Right now, Huo Neil didn't have the heart to care about the waste treatment plant anymore. The moment he thought of Silin's words, he became restless.
On the other side, Huo Neil urgently stopped the Tenth Squad who was preparing to open the protective shield at the center of the base. At the same time, the engineers who were repairing power supplies and other important equipment under the Ninth Squad's protection were hastily brought back to the spaceplane. The base was too dangerous.
The samples and data Silin had submitted were immediately processed. Then, Huo Neil gave every team leader a new order to send another machine into the underground tunnel to expand the size of the tunnel. Otherwise, the soldiers wouldn't even be able to move after they went down, and would only become food.
But strangely, the deeper they went, the bigger the hole became. There was no need for machines to expand the hole at all. When the machines reached a certain depth, they were clawed and destroyed by the black mice below. But before the machines were destroyed, the detection devices on the machines showed that there were a large number of abnormal lifeforms below. This confirmed Silin's speculation.
However, another question was raised. Why were the holes below so big? Didn't this mean that there were even bigger black mice? There was no conclusion to this question for now.
Maybe it was because they had realized something, but the black mice hiding deep below the base had begun to move earlier.
Of the eight squads, some went underground, and some stayed behind at various parts of the base.
Because Huo Neil had told them to, every operative fired at least two shots at the black mice that crawled out of the hole. Other than the holes that had already been opened in the base, the group of big black mice had opened many more holes away from the operative's firepower when they charged towards the surface. They were like a group of mad avengers who didn't care about their own lives at all, and only charged towards the center of the base. Since these big black mice were very fast and had very sensitive senses, there was no doubt that the operative's hit rate had been lowered. Moreover, the operative had to change locations from time to time because there was no telling if a big black mouse would suddenly jump out of the ground if they stayed there. There were already a few people who had been dragged into the hole by the big black mice that had suddenly charged out. They didn't even have the time to scream.
Silin's squad went underground. The hole was very dark, but their masks were equipped with night vision devices. After all, there weren't as many jamming devices underground as there were inside the base. The cooperation between the squad members was very good, and there were no casualties for the time being. The firepower was more concentrated inside the underground hole.
As they went deeper, the hole grew bigger, and three people could walk side by side now. At a fork, the group saw a pool of blood. It wasn't the black mice's, it was human blood. At the same time, they heard a weak cry for help.
