Chapter 415: Infiltration
"It’s done!"
Fang Yuan wore a black suit and looked at Ye Yingzi and Zhao Daniu.
Only two of them knew the true identity of the God of Thunder.
"Execute according to plan. I will destroy the willow tree and the both of you shall stay here to be my alibi!"
"Rumble!"
As he spoke, he started to grow in height and his facial features began to change. He now had sharp eyebrows and grey sideburns.
To put it in another way, he had transformed from a young scientist to a middle-aged handsome lad.
"Alright!"
Ye Yingzi acknowledged but had a complicated look on her face.
No matter how many times she had seen Fang Yuan do this before, she would still be stunned.
"Whooosh!"
With a smile, Fang Yuan disappeared with the wind.
...
Outside the base in the wilderness.
"Is our leader not here yet?"
A young man with a yellow-dyed hair and earrings who seemed flippant started to complain.
"Searing Flames, how dare you say such things here..."
In front of him was a 30-year-old beauty with a mysterious seductive vibe coming from her.
"Red Sister, we are just joking!"
The young man called ’Searing Flames’ seemed to fear this lady as he tried to make up for what he had said previously.
"Look at Old Guo. He is much more patient than you!"
Red Sister crossed her legs and sat down, glancing towards Guo Jing who was fiddling with a magical equipment. "Am I right?"
"Hehe... Red, don’t you mock me!"
Guo Jing stood up and shook his limbs. "I’m old already and I can’t compare to you youngsters!"
"Your daoist techniques still leave our leader in awe. You were personally invited by him to join the team, so how can you only have those few moves?"
Searing Flames rolled his eyes.
Speaking of this, Guo Jing felt depressed.
He was minding his business to begin with and was well hidden within the city. However, one fine day, a government official came knocking on his door.
He had no intentions to kill a government personnel and go against the entire government and had to obediently allow them to recruit him.
After unknowingly making his way into the Dragon Team, he then realised that it was the God of Thunder’s intention to recruit him in and therefore he could only allow it.
"Enough about me..."
Guo Jing looked at Searing Flames and Red Sister as his eyes glistened. "Although you guys have special abilities and are strengthened after the second occurrence, the way you guys are using it is wasting your natural talent... How about becoming my disciple? Considering your foundation and potential, both of you have the opportunity to breakthrough to the highest realm in the daoist books!"
"It’s boring!"
Searing Flames rolled his eyes. "If I become your disciple, I will have to stare at the ugly-looking talismans the entire day. I’m too lazy to even go to school. Do you think I will join you?"
"Then why not consider the Golden Eagle Federation from the West? Their process of strengthening their bodies are much more simplified. All they have to do is to take some medication and an injection. Convenient!"
At the same time, Red Sister took out her make-up and started to touch up.
"Sigh... The Violet Seal Script is a rare heritage. Many cultivators don’t even have the chance to see it, let alone having the chance to learn..."
Guo Jing revealed a face of regret. "Even our leader has requested to see my techniques and perform investigations on it..."
"That is the leader, not us!"
Red Sister smiled. "Leader is a talent. Furthermore, have we all not been forced to try out daoist techniques? This proves that not all mutants are able to cultivate in daoist techniques... The best would still be to follow your own body and awaken your own special ability which suits you this most. This is what Professor Fang said."
"Sigh... eh?"
Guo Jing sighed before twitching his eyebrows and retrieving an array flag which was in his possession. "My array has been alarmed. Our leader must be here!"
"Rippppp!"
With the streak of a lightning, Fang Yuan’s middle-aged persona arrived.
"Boss!"
Seeing their leader’s arrival, even the rebellious young punk did not dare to show any disrespect and properly greeting Fang Yuan.
He only displayed so much respect because he was once taught a lesson by Fang Yuan.
The codenamed Searing Fire and Red Sister were rebellious children who posed problems even for Xi Menjian. Troubled, he assigned both of them to Fang Yuan.
"Hmm, there are only the 4 of us here. We must complete the mission!"
Fang Yuan’s eyes glistened with excitement.
He knew that he had to get the willow tree no matter what happened.
Although everyone regarded him as a Calamity Grade mutant, he knew himself the best and gauged that he should only be around the Ghost or Murderous Grade.
He could only release so much power previously because of the face that he made use of the high concentration of spiritual droplets and channelled them completely to create spells.
’Therefore... If Guo Jing were to attain the highest cultivation possible of the Violet Seal Script, he should more or less know that I am not a mutant, but... just well-versed in thunder-type techniques!’
Fang Yuan laughed to himself.
Regardless of where the power came from, if he could harness it, it would be considered his!
"This willow is intriguing. It not only has a huge storage of spiritual droplets, it also lies above a node... If it was in the world of Da Qian, it would surely become a hollow... If I were to absorb it completely, I would be able to advance many grades at once!"
This was something only possible for Fang Yuan for he had the ability of have fixed stats. Therefore, he would be able to absorb in energy and simply improve his cultivation.
If Elder Extreme Darkness were to have such an ability, she would probably have ruled the entire world and would not end up being killed by a bomb.
"We have no worries for you are here, leader!"
Searing Flames exclaimed loudly.
"In this operation, we will split into two groups. After meeting up with the officer at the camp, the few of you will bring the bomb with you, while I will deal with all those who are watching!"
Fang Yuan’s cold voice sounded murderous and Searing Flames uncontrollably shuddered.
...
"Good day, officer!"
Within the camp.
The 4 members of the Dragon Team revealed themselves and therefore, the entire group was invited to Wu Tie.
After settling their identifications, Wu Tie heaved a sigh of relief. "The future of Mountain Ocean City lies in your hands!"
"Don’t worry, we will accomplish the mission!"
Fang Yuan laughed and followed Wu Tie to the back end of the camp.
"This is the poison jointly developed by Professor Fang Yuan and I. It might be useful!"
The previous Professor Chen came out and brought them to a huge warehouse.
"Also, we have completed preparations for the specially made bomb and napalm. You guys can leave anything!"
"Very well, prepare a few vehicles and we shall be on the move!"
Fang Yuan was decisive.
"Rumble!"
Not long after, a row of cars drove along a road and went straight into the fog-covered Mountain Ocean City.
As the fog became denser, the visibility started to worsen.
There were weird sounds coming from the surroundings.
"You guys should be clear of the location of the park where the willow tree is... There is only one mission, and that is to deliver the bomb safely to the perimeter of the park!"
Fang Yuan’s spiritual will shook and in a bolt of lightning, he was gone.
...
In a base outside the city.
At where the Dragon Team once was, a staff officer made his way to the table and grabbed the used cups.
"What are you doing?"
Suddenly, the tent was lit up and Wu Tie was standing at the opening with a stern look. "These are the objects used by the Dragon Team. Are you trying to obtain their biological samples?"
"Hehe... This is so boring. How could I be discovered so quickly!"
The staff officer laughed. The chime of a bell was heard and everyone who heard it felt creeped out.
"I’ve said it before... we should have attacked them directly for it is the best opportunity... Even the God of Thunder is trapped within the fog now. The entire base is filled with valuable scientists to capture!"
Suddenly, the staff officer smiled and transformed into a thin piece of paper which then started to burn.
"Rumble!"
Outside, a huge explosion was heard and there were screams. "Call the police! The base has been infiltrated!"
"Let’s start the war!"
Wu Tie scoffed. "Recall the Dragon Team back and protect these scientists at all costs!"
"Reporting!"
A messenger was shouting into a phone but soon after, he turned pale. "Our communications... have been cut!"
"Pa! Pa!"
There were flapping sounds everywhere. A piece of dark cloud floated above the base and covered the entire sky.
Bats flew down from the sky and formed the figure of Narissa. Like a model doing catwalk, a red bat landed on her hand. "Hehe... there are only so few people? There seems to be too little!"
"A mutant from the Golden Eagle Federation?"
Wu Tie screamed and with that, his body was covered in a gold hue as though he had transformed into an iron man.
"Bang! Bang!"
Following which, there were countless gunshots and in a few moments, many blood holes were formed on Narissa’s body.
"Firepower? This is irritating!"
With a smile, a red glow appeared on her body and her wound quickly recovered. Squeezing out the last bit of bullet from her body, her glowing and perfect skin was restored.
"Superspeed regeneration?"
Wu Tie’s eyelid twitched. "Murderous Grade? Don’t stop shooting! Even though she can regenerate, there will surely be a limit as to how much she can handle!"
"That’s right... If you hit me a few more times, I might not be able to keep up with the regeneration!"
Narissa stuck out her tongue and her body exploded into countless bats which started to spread out.
"Ahh!"
There were cries as many soldiers had their necks bitten and their blood sucked dry.
"Narissa, what’s the point of you sucking their blood? Your regenerative powers will not be strengthened anyway..."
A furry-looking silhouette broke into the camp and turned into a 3-metre tall werewolf. The fur on him seemed extremely hardy as normal bullets could only cause sparks when shot at the werewolf.
The werewolf let out a disgruntled howl.
"Hehe... even so, I will not let you have them!"
Narissa’s voice came from every bat all around.
"You people... are you not afraid of war by doing this?"
Wu Tie grabbed a bat and tightened his grip, smashing it into a bloodied mess.
"Although you know that we are the spies of the federation, the federation will never acknowledge our existence..."
The humongous werewolf howled and appeared frenzied. "Where is that scientist?!"
