Naturally, it wasn't on schedule.
Given the unclear situation, it was best not to set a timer for now.
They could find another opportunity to detonate them later. Bombs didn't just explode on a timer; they could also explode if exposed to intense fire.
After the cleanup, the two followed the main group on an indoor patrol.
They stayed at the back of the group, occasionally sticking a small explosive under tables or in hidden spots.
Since there were too many people, this was the only method.
As long as they knew the location of the data room, collected the data, and started a few fires in the laboratory, one explosion would trigger the chain reaction of all the bombs.
Suddenly, the group stopped dead.
Shouts came from ahead: "Important experimental base, unauthorized personnel are forbidden to enter."
The leader frowned and retorted, "We haven't received any notification that this area is off-limits. We, the patrol team, are just following orders and doing our jobs. You should understand our situation."
The person ahead paused for a moment, then hesitantly said, "It's mainly because there's a newly captured mutant inside, and it's incredibly ferocious. While the base hasn't officially forbidden entry, it's just too dangerous. I'm afraid for you..."
The leader was a man of strong principles. If he said they would go, they would go. This was a critical moment, and no area could be taken lightly.
He led the group through heavy experimental doors and down a long corridor, directly into the experimental room.
Inside, there was a glass experimental platform as tall as a person.
A disheveled figure stood within the platform, their hair a matted mess, their face blackened by soot.
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes; this person looked vaguely familiar.
Wasn't this... the mutant they encountered on the island?
Wang Xingde.
She had destroyed both of its crystalline cores and later blown up the laboratory.
Xu Qian thought it had been blown to bits and died, but she hadn't expected it to be so tenacious and survive!
Wang Xingde was extremely agitated inside the glass chamber, unable to stay still for a moment.
It hopped and scrambled everywhere, climbing up and down, its intentions unclear.
Many people relaxed their guard once they saw it contained within the glass chamber.
Xu Qian, however, dared not. She knew Wang Xingde was savage and intelligent, not just a mindless zombie.
She reached out and grabbed Xiang Jintian's arm, slowly backing away.
She remained completely tense, Xu Qian even feeling that it could break through the glass chamber and escape at any moment.
Xiang Jintian naturally understood and cooperated perfectly.
The group made a circuit of the laboratory and were just about to leave when,
Suddenly, with a "crack,"
fissures appeared across the glass chamber.
Wang Xingde, with its bare hands, shattered the glass chamber, then broke off pieces and stuffed them into its mouth, crunching them loudly.
The expressions of everyone present changed drastically, and they scrambled to get out of the laboratory.
A nearby computer began to beep frantically.
Those managing it knew best: this mutant possessed the strongest muscle power among all known mutants, and it was impervious to weapons.
It had no weaknesses whatsoever.
Most importantly, it had intelligence!
Suddenly, the corners of its mouth curved into a faint smile: "You all will die!"
It leaped violently from the glass chamber and, with its bare hands, severed the throat of an experimental personnel.
The force was so immense that it almost decapitated him, leaving only a thin sinew connecting the head to the body.
The others, terrified, fled even more frantically.
The leader's expression changed slightly, but having seen many large-scale confrontations, he wasn't overly frightened.
"Use the radiation guns!"
Apart from Xu Qian and Xiang Jintian, everyone else drew a blue handgun from their waists. Instantly, dozens of beams of light shot towards it.
Wang Xingde paused for a moment, then looked up and smiled.
"This is hilarious! No weapon has any effect on me!"
It flashed forward, breaking two guns with its bare hands, and then crushed the head of a black-clad figure in each hand.
Blood splattered everywhere, and brain matter rained down.
It scooped out the red and white contents of the skull and put them into its mouth.
Wang Xingde's eyes narrowed, and it chuckled, "Indeed, fresh is always tastier."
