Chapter 404 Shrouded in Fear

Meanwhile, Allen looked at Dr. Dale and said sternly, "What exactly are you researching here?"

Dr. Dale sneered, "Is this something you should be asking about? A bunch of lowly scum!"

Allen said, "I can tolerate your mockery, but don't forget that Rhine Company and the Android Alliance have signed an agreement. I have already activated the recorder, and every word you say, along with everything in this place, will be recorded."

"Agreement? Alliance? Recording?"

Dr. Dale was stunned for a moment, then, hands in his pockets, he burst into laughter, his laughter growing louder and more unrestrained.

"Are you joking?" Dr. Dale wagged his finger at Allen. "You people from the slums, by uniting and calling yourselves an alliance, think you can be on equal footing with Rhine Company? Ridiculous!"

As he spoke, Dr. Dale paced forward.

"That so-called agreement was merely to keep you obediently in the slums, hunting mutated creatures, and guarding the area outside the barricades."

"Talking to you about ecological chain hunting and control, and food chain balance, you idiots probably wouldn't understand anyway. In short, you are treated as tools. Only with the existence of the slums can the rich districts remain stable. If you lowly scum don't hunt mutated creatures, do you expect us to?"

"So, you're actually talking to me about the Android Alliance? You intend to threaten me with that? Has your brain gone bad?"

"As for what happens here, you intend to record it?" Dr. Dale shrugged indifferently and gestured for Allen to proceed, "Record it however you like, but are you sure you can still leave here?"

*Click, click...*

As soon as Dr. Dale finished speaking, the weapons on the surrounding armed robots whirred to life and aimed at Allen and the others.

Allen's expression turned serious, and everyone immediately entered combat readiness, warily facing forward.

Bai Ye finally withdrew his gaze from his surroundings and looked towards Dr. Dale.

"No need to be nervous," Bai Ye said. "Just a pile of scrap metal."

*Snap!*

Bai Ye snapped his fingers casually.

The next instant, arcs of electricity began to jump across the bodies of the armed robots, accompanied by crackling sounds, and then the armed robots exploded one by one, erupting in flames and black smoke.

In a single blow, all the armed robots turned into scrap metal, just as Bai Ye had said.

Dr. Dale's face immediately showed surprise.

Bai Ye, however, curled his lips, finding it astonishing.

The armed robots on the ground were more troublesome because it required an attack to use electricity to damage the internal circuit boards of the robots.

However, the ground and walls of the laboratory were inlaid with metal plates, and the surrounding instruments were also made of metal. There were simply too many conductive objects.

In such an environment, Bai Ye could simply stomp his foot, and the current would follow the metal plates on the ground into the robots' bodies, completely destroying them.

However, Dr. Dale quickly recovered from his surprise.

It was only the armed robots that were destroyed; he still had the mutated crystal people!

"Kill them, kill them all!" Dr. Dale roared ferociously. "You absolutely cannot let them leave here."

As expected, the mutated crystal people obeyed. Upon receiving the command, they immediately advanced.

Allen and the others wanted to fight, but Bai Ye stopped them with a gesture.

"You guys fall back," Bai Ye said. "Leave them to me."

Compared to Dr. Dale, Bai Ye was more concerned about Yimi hiding in the shadows.

However, the other party was unwilling to reveal themselves, and after observing for a while, Bai Ye could not pinpoint their location.

Since that was the case, he would deal with the immediate trouble first.

After all, Forbidden Zone Mission Two was to eliminate Dr. Dale, so he might as well claim the mission reward first.

Bai Ye thought to himself as he took a step forward.

Having come this far, there was no need to hide his strength at all. Instead, it was about...

Finishing quickly!

"Thunder Beast!" Thunder Beast (releases a beast-like lightning attack with physical impact, targeting ground attacks and defenses)

*Zzzzt!*

With a low shout from Bai Ye, large amounts of electricity surged out from his body, dancing wildly and expanding.

Soon, the electricity began to condense, forming a giant thunder beast that descended towards the ground.

*Boom!*

The moment it landed, the thunder beast raised its massive claws and slammed them down onto the ground.

Amidst the rumbling, a large amount of electricity exploded, and the ground let out a deafening roar as it was directly shattered by the thunder beast.

The electric currents that splashed forward struck the bodies of several crystal people, instantly sending them flying, their crystals cracking.

After the initial strike, the thunder beast did not stop but charged forward.

Its massive body collided, and the crystal people in front of it were instantly sent sprawling.

At the same time...

Bai Ye reached out his hand, and a large golden light screen appeared behind him.

Gate of Babylon!

On the golden light screen, golden vortexes appeared one after another, and in the center of each golden vortex was a weapon of various shapes.

The next moment, Bai Ye swung his raised arm forward!

The weapons within the golden vortexes immediately shot forward.

*Boom, boom, boom!*

As the weapons struck the ground, continuous deafening roars echoed.

The entire laboratory trembled, and amidst the violent shaking, the metal plates on the ceiling constantly broke apart, and countless stone fragments rained down.

The ground cracked and shattered, forming deep pits.

After a moment, the swirling dust dispersed, revealing a scene of devastation.

The giant thunder beast stood there, with two crystal people crushed beneath its feet, crackling with electricity.

The surrounding ground was completely broken, with scattered crystals everywhere.

Some crystal people had their bodies pierced by spears and were pinned to the wall; others had their heads severed and lay on the ground.

Some crystal people's bodies were torn apart as their crystals shattered, turning into piles of mangled flesh.

A few crystal people were not yet dead, still struggling desperately, crawling forward as if seeking a sliver of hope.

However, at this moment...

The giant thunder beast lifted its foot and stomped down forcefully on the struggling crystal person.

*Crack.*

The crystal person's body was shattered into pieces, and countless fragmented crystals exploded outwards, splashing a large amount of bright red blood onto the glass wall beside them.

Dr. Dale's spirit jolted, and looking at the blood that suddenly appeared on the glass wall, his heart was quickly enveloped by fear.
