Seeing this, a lieutenant general with two stars on his shoulder, the person in charge here, immediately instructed medical specialists to step forward and check on the men . Two medical professionals in white coats, each holding a small portable instrument, went over respectively to one of the virtual pods .
The instruments were soon connected to the men lying inside the pods . Looking at the data reflected by the instrument, the expressions of the two experts became darker and darker . In the end, they could only stand up, shaking their heads, and tell everyone that the brains of the two people in the pods were completely destroyed . In medical terms, brain death . Even though their hearts were still beating, they were actually already dead .
"How can this be? They are elites from our bureau . They cannot be dead . You must have made a mistake . " Hearing the professionals' declaration, a major general of around 40 years of age could not help but point fingers .
"Wilson, calm down!" The lieutenant general barked, shocking Major General Wilson out of his rage . He squatted down with his hands around his head, muttering uncontrollably under his breath, "What in the world could have happened? Why are Pete and Carter dead? Could it be that the Chinese Federation has discovered our plot?"
"Didn't D1 say that everything was going well?" As if thinking of something, Wilson suddenly jerked his head up to stare sharply at someone in the crowd . It was a middle-aged man who was also at the rank of major general .
"Although D1's group has successfully infiltrated the virtual world of the Chinese Federation, there are many limitations . We cannot transmit any messages, and so can only wait for them to send someone back to find out anything about what's going on . The latest news we have is from two days ago, when they suspected that the Chinese Federation had sent someone over to investigate . In order to ensure the success of the plan, they requested the help of some spectres . . . " That major general was frowning as he gave a brief explanation to Wilson .
Major General Wilson wanted to retort, but at this moment, the lieutenant general walked over and patted him on the shoulder in comfort and said, "Even though Pete and Carter are dead, this does not mean the project will not succeed . For the Empire, some sacrifices are necessary . Let us wait another 5 minutes and we will know what the results are . "
The lieutenant general's words of consolation made Wilson stop talking, merely waiting patiently for these final 5 minutes to pass . He too wished that the project would succeed so that Pete's and Carter's sacrifice would become worthwhile .

Meanwhile, in the virtual world, D2, who was holding the fort in the secret research centre of the Swift Dragon base, saw the two mecha teams he sent finally manage to stall the invading enemy at the central square of the base . He temporarily relaxed but kept a close eye on the surveillance monitors of the central square to observe the situation between the two fighting parties, and he did not forget to ask his subordinate hacker about the progress of the evolution of the T-virus .
As the time ticked closer and closer to the completion stage, while that invading mecha team still continued to tussle with the two mecha teams of the secret base, only then did D2's heart finally settle . . .
After this period of fighting, six of the nine mecha which had snuck in had already been taken down, while there were only five more mecha left from the two mecha teams sent . Both sides were scarred from the battle . D2 did not care . After all, the mecha teams protecting the secret base were all the original mecha teams from the Swift Dragon base and had nothing at all to do with them .
D2 only cared about whether the mecha teams could complete their task of holding back the invading mecha until the T-virus was successfully cultivated . And now, it looked like the mecha teams were performing pretty well, successfully completing the task they had been assigned .
At this time, even if the other party managed to finish off these final five mecha, they would no longer have time to rush over and stop their operation . The scene of him becoming the primary hero of the Empire rose in his mind's eye . He was receiving the Supreme Medal of Honour from the Great Emperor and enjoying the frenzied adoration of his fellow countrymen in front of the House of Parliament . . .

In another hidden room, the two spectres who had been fighting all this while with Li Lanfeng were already panting heavily with exhaustion . They had almost used up all of their spectre power but still had not been able to break the other's defences .
"What's going on? Why is the opponent getting stronger as we fight? At first, there would still be some fluctuations in his defensive power, even some openings . Why has it become so strong and impenetrable from half an hour before? We've been attacking for so long and there's no effect at all?" Carter asked Pete who was beside him as he panted . This truly did not adhere to the common sense of spectre battles .
Pete initially had not thought much about it, but when he heard Carter's question, a jolt ran through his heart . He was just about to say something when his heart began to pound in a warning from their spectre abilities . Their faces changed drastically and they hurried to pull back the spectre power they were using to fight the opponent, but it was too late .
A powerful, overwhelming surge of energy wrapped their spectre powers completely and then pulverised it . They could only hear their own spiritual power being squeezed like a water balloon and then there was a pop . . . and then there was no more .
