"Yin Hu, suspicious personnel detected. Ten o'clock direction from you."
Wang Xiaoxin received Bai Shanjin's alert and quickly turned her four-times scope in the direction he indicated.
Indeed, in the two houses in that direction, suspicious individuals in black full-coverage combat suits were patrolling.
She immediately relayed this information to Lin Yuan.
"Chou Niu, what do we do? Attack?"
Lin Yuan knew these people were Carol Anna's subordinates, and attacking them on sight was not appropriate.
"Wait and see. We have one minute until we rendezvous. Then we'll attack from both sides."
After speaking, Lin Yuan called for the helicopter.
The plan had begun.
When they rendezvoused, the people in those two houses were still there.
"Yin Hu, we've already circled to the rear. We can act."
"Understood. Wait for my signal."
The two teams would execute a feint and a surprise attack.
This was a method they often used, and it had been very effective, both against zombies and against people.
Unfortunately, this time they had fallen into a trap.
As Lin Yuan approached, a dense, almost dark green fog rose throughout Fushui Village.
Bai Shanjin observed closely; it was many cans hidden in concealed locations, emitting the mist.
"Warning, lethal spore concentration has exceeded 50%. Filter canisters have 48 minutes of use remaining."
"Warning, lethal spore concentration has exceeded 60%. Filter canisters have 26 minutes of use remaining."
"Warning, lethal spore concentration has exceeded 70%. Filter canisters have 17 minutes of use remaining."
Lin Yuan's small squad had already entered the second layer. The combat system flashed, and the beeping alarms sounded incessantly in their earpieces.
"Chou Niu! What's going on?!"
"Don't panic, let's find the items first. We can't leave empty-handed."
Lin Yuan knew this was Carol Anna's doing and remained calm.
If she was smart, she would follow his instructions and leave some less important evidence in a conspicuous place.
Moreover, from the entrance to the second floor, those people hadn't tried to stop them, so his assumption should be correct.
Where were the items?
"Chou Niu, I found a bottle and some scattered documents."
"I'm coming right over!"
It was Zheng Mengmeng speaking. Lin Yuan walked over and looked at the documents and the bottle. The bottle contained three eyeballs, their nerve endings still intact.
The documents were experimental data.
For over two months, he had practiced English and spoken English daily, and now he was quite proficient, at least capable of conversation.
He even had to thank the fungal spores, the God's Elixir, and
"Bang!"
In the dense fog, a gunshot pierced the mist and struck Lin Yuan's left leg, immediately reducing his speed by more than half.
"Hiss, that hurts." Lin Yuan gasped, cursing inwardly.
This was truly ruthless.
"Enemy attack!!!"
"Don't mind me, retreat first!! The filter canisters won't last much longer!"
The combat system displayed the spore concentration continuing to rise, about to break 80%. Staying any longer would be suicide.
"I'll help you." Zheng Mengmeng ran over to support Lin Yuan and continued forward.
"Bang!" This shot hit Lin Yuan's other leg directly.
Blood splattered. Losing support, he fell straight down.
"Team Leader!"
"Hurry and go!"
"Bang!"
This shot hit Zheng Mengmeng's abdomen. Fortunately, her bulletproof vest blocked it, and apart from some pain, she was unharmed.
"Team Leader, I'm taking you out!" Zheng Mengmeng's stubbornness kicked in, and she got up from the ground, intending to rescue Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan quickly threw her the document bag he was holding and yelled, "Go! Take the data back! That's an order!!"
Zheng Mengmeng held the documents in her hands, unsure whether to advance or retreat. The alarm from the combat system grew more pronounced.
"Damn it!" Cursing fiercely, Zheng Mengmeng grabbed the documents and ran back, also blocking others who were coming to rescue him.
"Hurry, obey the order!"
"But Team Leader he!"
"Obey the order!!!" Zheng Mengmeng's voice was a little louder.
"Yes!"
As everyone retreated, a petite figure dashed forward at an extremely fast speed.
"Yin Hu!!!"
"Come back quickly!!!"
"Don't mind me, you guys hurry back." Wang Xiaoxin's voice sounded in the earpiece.
Following that, several gunshots echoed through the green fog.
The green dot representing Lin Yuan on the combat system turned red and was then slowly dragged away.
Carol Anna lowered her gun and frowned, her beautiful brow furrowed: "Why is another one coming in?"
She then looked at Lin Yuan, who was sitting on the ground, grinning in pain, "Lin Yuan, is this also part of your plan?"
What? Impossible?
Lin Yuan quickly checked his combat system. There was a green dot at the bottom of the display rapidly approaching; it was Wang Xiaoxin.
He smiled helplessly.
"Alas, I'm not sure. Everyone else followed my orders. I'll leave it to you, prepare the anesthetic. I'll explain it to her myself later."
Carol Anna examined Lin Yuan's face carefully: "Tsk tsk tsk, little Lin Yuan, I didn't expect you to be just ordinarily handsome, yet so many girls are willing to sacrifice themselves for you? Now you've even made me curious~
However, they don't know this is your golden cicada shedding its shell, hahahaha. I imagine they are heartbroken right now."
He didn't respond to the mischievous woman, only saying: "Hurry up. Her enhancement level is the same as mine. It won't be easy to handle if she gets close."
"Understood."
"Prepare the anesthetic. The dosage is three-quarters of Lin Yuan." Carol Anna issued the order.
"Understood."
Wang Xiaoxin, traversing the green fog, was extremely anxious. She had to find Lin Yuan!
Perhaps due to her deep concern for Lin Yuan, she failed to notice the anesthetic darts being fired from all directions.
"Pain!"
This needle seemed specially made; it could penetrate their combat suits.
Before she could even see what had lodged in her leg, the drowsy feeling like a tide washed over her nerves.
"I..."
"Thump!"
Seeing Wang Xiaoxin fall, several people in black combat suits emerged from the green fog and carried Wang Xiaoxin away.
"Oh my God, this chick is heavy!"
"That's normal, Anderson. People with their enhancement levels reaching the peak are all like this. They're very heavy, their bone density and muscle density are like monsters. Their hearts work like God engines when they're at full capacity." The speaker then added jokingly,
"If you were to do 'that' with them, your thing would be like a chocolate bar on the bed."
"Huh? Do you mean the color?" Anderson, not having much experience in this area, asked innocently.
"No, I mean the crispness. Learn well, don't mess with them, especially women, little virgins."
"Hey, Robin, don't call me a virgin! I'm not anymore!"
"Hahahaha, I won't expose my brother's shortcomings, hahahaha. Let's go, let's go. This fake fog will dissipate soon, and we need to hide in the woods." Robin said seriously.
Without further ado, the two, along with their team members, quickly retreated.
