Liu Xiaoxiao and Shan Nan felt immense relief as Han Lang displayed his supreme combat power.
Indeed!
This was a blessing for Xia Nation!
This fortune did not just represent Han Lang's current strength.
More importantly, it signified that he was the Shen Nong Heavenly Doctor!
And a high-level alchemist, almost extinct in the entire Xia Nation!
If he hadn't been born in the era of the Dharma's End on Blue Star, they would have unhesitatingly believed that Han Lang was a peerless, ancient prodigy destined for ascension!
"A pity! A pity!"
Thinking of this, Shan Nan couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
Perhaps "born at the wrong time" was the most fitting description for Han Lang!
With Han Lang and his group's overwhelming strength,
The group of ability users on the outer perimeter was quickly cleared.
However, the more difficult problem that followed soon presented itself.
The passage leading to the base's interior was narrower than the outer area. To charge through here, only two people could enter at a time.
The others, apart from following behind, had no way to intervene.
Although the pressure from the ability users inside would be less, if they encountered an opponent they couldn't defeat, the others would be unable to help.
After a moment of hesitation, Shan Nan immediately gave an order.
"Han Lang and I will be responsible for breaking through the passage. You all wait at the entrance of the passage for our signal. Once we are completely inside, you can rush in!"
Han Lang readily agreed.
"Exactly! This way, we can ensure our escape route and everyone's safety. Otherwise, if we all enter at once, and a retreat is necessary, it would be quite troublesome to get out!"
Seeing that both of them agreed to the plan, Liu Xiaoxiao quickly responded.
"Alright! You two be careful. We will guard the passage entrance without leaving your side, waiting for your news!"
With Liu Xiaoxiao's assurance, Han Lang and Shan Nan were completely at ease.
They exchanged a look and prepared to charge in.
Just then, Ma Long suddenly called out to Han Lang. He took out five of his remaining ten Spirit Preservation Pills and handed them to Han Lang.
"Five are enough for me. You probably don't have any left, so keep these for emergencies!"
Han Lang took the Spirit Preservation Pills and replied.
"En!"
Then, without looking back, he followed Shan Nan and charged in!
After breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, Han Lang was like a newly adult beast, full of vitality.
The nine golden needles in his hands also multiplied in power.
With a whistling sound, an SS-class ability user fell to the ground.
They fought their way through without any pause, reaching the data control room of the ability user base.
There were no more ability users inside the control room.
Han Lang and Shan Nan seemed to have entered a completely safe zone.
It was eerily quiet inside, as if Han Lang and the other hadn't fought their way through, but had slowly walked into a deserted area.
"Something is wrong when things are too abnormal! Be careful!"
Shan Nan warned vigilantly.
"I'll call everyone over first!"
Han Lang said.
Shan Nan nodded, continuing to watch their surroundings warily.
Han Lang then walked into the passage, stepped over a few ability user corpses, and knocked on the passage wall several times.
The sound traveled all the way through the passage.
Hearing the signal, Ma Long's spirits immediately lifted.
"It's done! Let's go in, Political Commissar Liu!"
Liu Xiaoxiao also nodded.
He signaled for everyone to enter, while he stayed at the rear to cover their retreat.
Soon, the group converged in the data room of the ability user base.
"How is it? Deputy Officer Shan, Han Lang, have you found anything?"
Liu Xiaoxiao, who was the last to emerge from the passage, asked urgently.
Han Lang and Shan Nan both shook their heads.
"No findings yet. The entire base is like an abandoned place, with no one in sight!"
Hearing this, Liu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but frown.
"Did we miscalculate? Did Dr. Sim escape long ago?"
At this moment, Shan Nan couldn't be sure either.
He didn't know if Dr. Sim had truly left the White Elephant Nation as Liu Xiaoxiao had said.
Ma Long followed up with confusion.
"Then why did they leave such a large group of SS-class and S-class ability users behind? If they had taken them all, wouldn't they have posed a greater threat to us on the front lines?"
At this point, no one could answer Ma Long's question.
Shan Nan pondered for a moment, then said.
"Ma Long, you go with Han Lang to the testing room to investigate. That's where they test the ability users' modification potential. Go and see if there are any ability users still inside. If not, set a bomb to destroy it!"
"Tang Geng, Tang Qin, you come with me. We'll go to the ability user accommodation room. Perhaps Dr. Sim might be hiding there!"
"Zhao Wu, there shouldn't be anyone in the ability user modification room. You are responsible for destroying their equipment!"
"Xiaoxiao, stay here to cover our retreat, in case any ability users or the White Elephant Nation's army tries to ambush us!"
Upon hearing these arrangements, everyone hurried to their assigned tasks.
Han Lang and Ma Long were closest to the testing room, and they entered it almost instantly.
Rows of cubicles were neatly arranged, with only the upper half of each cubicle covered by a transparent material.
Han Lang and Ma Long could only check each one through this portion to see if Dr. Sim was hidden inside.
After a while, the two met again, and both shook their heads at each other.
Ma Long then proceeded to plant a bomb inside the room.
On the other side, Shan Nan, Tang Geng, and Tang Qin cautiously pushed open the door to the accommodation room.
However, apart from everyday living items and training facilities, there was nowhere visible where a person could hide.
"It seems Dr. Sim may have indeed escaped!"
Just as everyone was preparing to return, Zhao Wu on the other side went to destroy the modification room's equipment as per Shan Nan's instructions.
But as he walked in, intending to destroy the modification tables with his transformed bricks,
He suddenly saw a foreigner lying in the most conspicuous position among the many modification tables in the modification room.
On a display screen next to the modification table, the progress bar had reached 100%.
Zhao Wu was startled.
As he was about to call out to everyone, the person on the modification table suddenly opened their eyes.
Then, without any hesitation, the figure flashed, and a punch was thrown directly at Zhao Wu.
Zhao Wu had not expected the opponent's speed to be so fast.
The words at the tip of his tongue had to be swallowed, and at the same time, he moved at the fastest speed, blocking the attack with his transformed bricks.
But he had clearly underestimated the opponent's strength.
This punch directly blasted the black bricks back, and with extreme speed, it struck Zhao Wu behind them, sending him flying out of the modification room.
It was hard to imagine if this punch had landed directly on Zhao Wu, whether it could have killed him instantly!
The huge commotion instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Liu Xiaoxiao in the data room was the first to arrive.
Following him, Han Lang, Ma Long, Shan Nan, Tang Geng, and Tang Qin also arrived as quickly as possible.
After Liu Xiaoxiao helped Zhao Wu up, Zhao Wu clutched his chest and retracted his bricks. The person inside the modification room, wearing his signature glasses, slowly floated out of the doorway.
It was Dr. Sim!
