Meanwhile, Allen looked at Doctor Dale and said in a deep voice, "What exactly are you researching here?"
Doctor Dale sneered, "Is this something you should be asking about? A bunch of pathetic wretches!"
Allen replied, "I can tolerate your insults, but don't forget that Rhine Corporation and the Android Alliance have signed an agreement. I've already activated the recorder, and every word you say, along with everything in this place, will be recorded."
"An agreement? An alliance? Recording?"
Doctor Dale paused, then put his hands in his pockets and burst into laughter, his laughter growing louder and more audacious.
"Are you joking?" Doctor Dale wagged his finger at Allen. "You people from the slums, uniting and calling yourselves an alliance, think you can stand on equal footing with Rhine Corporation? Ridiculous!"
Doctor Dale paced forward as he spoke.
"That so-called agreement was merely to keep you in line in the slums, hunting mutated creatures, and guarding the area outside the roadblocks."
"Talking about ecological chains, hunting, control, and food chain balance – idiots like you wouldn't understand anyway. In essence, you're just tools. Without the existence of the slums, the affluent districts wouldn't be able to remain peaceful. If you pathetic creatures don't hunt the mutated beasts, are we supposed to do it?"
"So, you're actually talking to me about the Android Alliance? You intend to threaten me with that? Have you lost your mind?"
"As for what happens here, you intend to record it?" Doctor Dale shrugged indifferently and gestured for Allen to proceed, "You can record it however you like. However, are you sure you can still leave here?"
*Crackle, crackle...*
As soon as Doctor Dale finished speaking, the weapons on the surrounding combat robots whirred to life and aimed at Allen and his companions.
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 Doctor Dale.
"No need to be nervous," Bai Ye said. "They're just a pile of scrap metal."
*Snap!*
Bai Ye snapped his fingers casually.
The next moment, arcs of electricity suddenly leaped across the combat robots, making crackling sounds, and then the robots exploded one by one, erupting in flames and black smoke.
In one strike, all the combat robots were reduced to scrap metal, just as Bai Ye had said.
Doctor Dale's face immediately showed surprise.
Bai Ye, however, curled his lip, thinking him easily amazed.
The combat robots on the ground were somewhat more troublesome because it required an attack to disrupt the internal circuit boards with electricity.
However, the laboratory's ground and walls were inlaid with metal plates, and the surrounding instruments were all metallic. There were too many conductive objects.
In such an environment, Bai Ye could simply stomp his foot, and the electricity would flow along the metal plates on the ground, infiltrating the robots' bodies and destroying them completely.
However, Doctor Dale quickly recovered from his surprise.
Only the combat robots had been destroyed; he still had the mutated crystal beings!
"Kill them, kill them all!" Doctor Dale roared ferociously. "They must not be allowed to leave here."
The mutated crystal beings, indeed obedient, surged forward upon receiving the order.
Allen and his companions prepared to fight but were stopped by Bai Ye.
"You all fall back," Bai Ye instructed. "Leave them to me."
Compared to Doctor Dale, Bai Ye was more concerned about Yimi hiding in the shadows.
However, since the other party refused to reveal themselves, Bai Ye observed for a while but couldn't 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 Doctor Dale, so he might as well claim the reward for the Forbidden Zone mission first.
Bai Ye thought to himself as he took a step forward.
Having come this far, there was no need to hide his strength; instead, he would...
Make a swift end of it!
"Thunder Beast!" Thunder Beast (releases a giant beast-shaped lightning, with physical attack effects, targeting ground attacks and defense)
*Zzzt!*
With a low shout from Bai Ye, a large amount of electricity surged from his body, swirling and expanding erratically.
Soon, the electricity began to condense, forming a colossal Thunder Beast that descended towards the ground.
*Boom!*
The moment it landed, the Thunder Beast raised its giant claw and slammed it down onto the ground.
Amidst the rumbling, a large burst of electricity erupted, and the ground let out a deafening roar, pulverized by the Thunder Beast's strike.
The arcs of electricity that splashed forward struck the bodies of several crystal beings, instantly blasting them away, their crystals cracking.
After one strike, the Thunder Beast did not pause but charged forward.
Its massive body collided, and the crystal beings in front were instantly sent sprawling.
At the same time...
Bai Ye extended his hand forward, and a vast golden light curtain appeared behind him.
Gate of Babylon!
On the golden light curtain, golden vortexes appeared one after another, and in the center of each golden vortex was a weapon of varying shapes.
The next moment, Bai Ye swung his raised arm downward!
The weapons within the golden vortexes immediately shot forward.
*Boom, boom, boom!*
The weapons struck the ground, and continuous, deafening explosions resounded.
The entire laboratory trembled and shook violently, metal plates on the ceiling ripped open, and countless fragments of debris rained down.
The ground cracked and shattered, forming deep pits.
After a while, as the dust settled, the scene ahead was a mess.
The colossal Thunder Beast stood there, two crystal beings crushed beneath its feet, electricity crackling on its body.
The surrounding ground was completely pulverized, with scattered crystals everywhere.
Some crystal beings were impaled by spears, hanging on the wall; others had their heads severed and lay on the ground.
Some crystal beings were torn apart along with their shattered crystals, turning into a heap of dismembered parts.
A few crystal beings were not yet dead, still struggling, crawling forward, seemingly searching for a sliver of hope.
But, at this moment...
The giant Thunder Beast lifted its foot and stomped down forcefully on the struggling crystal being.
*Crack!*
The crystal being's body was shattered into pieces, countless fragments of crystal exploding outward, a large splash of crimson blood splattering onto the glass wall beside it.
Doctor Dale's spirit jolted, and looking at the blood that suddenly appeared on the glass wall, his heart was quickly enveloped by fear.
