Chapter 34
Elsewhere, ruined skyscrapers crawled with vines . Below, the streets were cold and empty, and fragments of broken glass littered the line of stores . The stores were in an utter mess; clearly, they had been plundered .
A piece of yellowed newspaper from who knows what year danced about on the streets, carried by the faint wind .
Moonlight filtered through the thick cloud of dust to lend the city some of its luster—the city's only source of light .
This was an abandoned city . It had once belonged to a great nation, but even this great nation no longer existed, and its people had moved to other places . The living conditions here were so poor that even wanderers avoided this place .
Countless other cities had been similarly abandoned over the last few decades of change . As soon as the people left though, these forsaken jungles of concrete and steel became flourishing grounds for vegetation .
According to Han Xiao's intel, the Germinal Organization had three bases within Stardragon territory . One of them was located here . The nation's top brass had been both shocked and angered to learn of the presence of Germinal bases in the country . Within 24 hours, troops had been dispatched from the nearest military bases to attack .
Currently, the city was being bombarded . Over a dozen armored military vehicles had entered the city, and the sound of gunfire and cannon fire was incessant . Screams filled the night .
However, the surface battle was just a diversion .
3 covert ops agents had been tasked to infiltrate the base . They'd just arrived at a side entrance .
Li Ya Lin was an agent with level 4 clearance . A beautiful, young woman with extremely fair skin, she wore a yellow hoodie on top of black compression tights that accentuated her sexy, nose-bleed-inducing body . She had an athletic build .
Li Ya Lin held her hands up in the air as she stretched her back, demonstrating impressive flexibility in the beautifully arced, well-proportioned body of hers . She was clearly the most carefree and energetic of the trio .
She stopped chewing on her bubblegum to complain, "I was finally able to take a break because of my leader's injury, but they call me back so suddenly for an emergency mission . Are agents not humans?"
Lambert continued to polish his dagger silently . Lambert was the 'ace' of a top-secret, unofficial squad during his time in the military, and he had been secretly transferred to the covert ops department after his 'discharge' . He wore a military-style uniform, and on top of the dozen or so daggers strapped across his waist, there was a black sniper rifle across his back .
"This . . . this mission . . . seems to be very important," stammered Li Yao, a 1 . 7 meters tall man who looked extremely young . He was the hacker of this three man cell, and carried a bag filled with the team's tools . He was in the midst of hacking the door . It didn't take him too long .
The trio exchanged glances before entering .
Li Ya Lin led the front while Lambert took the rear . They hacked through numerous high tech gates effortlessly as they made their way to the server room .
The Germinal Organization was very careful with its information . Once a base was compromised, they would cut off its access to their network, delete all traces of data, and activate an EMP blast to destroy the hardware . Hence, they had always remained elusive to the Six Nations – until Han Xiao arrived .
The trio swiftly arrived at Basement 2, where the server room was located . Suddenly, Lin Yao, who was monitoring the hacked feed, began to exclaim, "There are guards approaching from behind the . . . "
Before he could finish his sentence, a team of guards appeared in their sights!
Li Ya Lin was the quickest to react . She burst forward so quickly that the guards weren't even able to draw their guns in time . Leaping gracefully into the air, Lin Ya Lin performed a mid-air split to kick the front two guards in their heads, snapping their necks instantly .
Her power was just as impressive as her flexibility .
She landed on her hands and used them as a pivot to spin her entire body . Her legs began to glow yellow as she extended them while spinning, easily sweeping through the crowd of guards .
"Pugilist!"
The last remaining guard was about to call for reinforcements when a streak of silver flashed across the corridor . A dagger pierced his throat, ending his life .
Lin Ya Lin and Lambert had effortlessly eliminated the fully-equipped squad of guards .
Suddenly, the lights in the corridor turned red as sirens began to wail .
"We've been discovered! There is a large number of guards heading towards us . The base is being locked down!" exclaimed Lin Yao .
