“Contact headquarters!”
Walter's voice echoed in his ears as explosive clouds began to surge around him. Sequence 89 barely opened his eyes, activating the tactical computer on his wrist.
In this high-speed motion, being trapped in such a peculiar position, Sequence 89 found this action quite challenging. However, the effort didn’t guarantee a result.
Looking at the chaotic display on the tactical computer, Sequence 89 felt a chill run down his spine.
“It’s over, the signal source has been jammed, and our connection with the outside world has been cut off. This is an ambush, Captain!”
“This is not an ambush.”
Walter’s voice remained as calm as ever. “This is the battle we need to face!”
……
“Missing?”
“Exactly. All members of Walter Squad are completely uncontactable. We don’t know what happened to them, and we don’t even know if they are alive or dead.”
At this moment, Fran held his forehead, clearly feeling a headache from this sudden situation.
Walter was a special existence for the military—his initial rank was sequence three, and after joining the military with their support, his strength continued to grow. The gap between him and the lower sequences widened. Now, if anyone could be considered the strongest beneath Tang Haofei and Wen Yu, it would undoubtedly be Walter.
Moreover, the key point was that Walter was absolutely loyal to Lin Haifeng, and he was currently Lin Haifeng’s strongest card. Although the military had already prepared for significant losses before the battle began, the news of Walter Squad's disappearance struck Fran like a heavy blow, making his head throb.
“What about the Heavenly Eye System? Didn’t it detect anything happening inside?”
Fran shook his head. “All signals have been cut off, and all means of perception have been severed. No system can work. Walter Squad didn’t transmit any information even a second before they went missing. Their last known location was at the mid-slope of Mount Kosciuszko, and we know nothing else.”
This meant they had lost the information battle...
Wen Yu raised his head, his gaze seemingly penetrating the soil, fixated on the distant Mount Kosciuszko, until a voice came from behind him: “Wen Yu, do your best to save him.”
Wen Yu nodded slightly and then made a remark that sounded like an excuse: “I’ll let the One-Eyed and the others keep an eye on it, yes, the specifics will depend on Walter’s luck.”
……
At the foot of Mount Kosciuszko, the defensive line built by the demonic clan was akin to a solid fortress. Since “Wen Yu” and Tang Haofei were pulled into the treasure land, a large number of high-level demonic creatures have surged out from Mount Kosciuszko, sealing off the entire area with the reinforcements that appeared through the nearby Demon Realm Gate. Aside from a few elite teams with strong abilities and good luck, the rest couldn’t dare to cross even a single step.
And here was the main battlefield of the current war!
“Artillery! Where’s the artillery? Blast that bunker in front of us!”
“Aerial support, bombers, helicopters, fighter jets, or drones, even flying mutated beasts would do, just give us something that can fly!”
“Where are the experts? The strong ones? Where are our sequence-level experts? Damn it, how are we supposed to defend without any strong ones!”
Unlike the previous modes of warfare, aside from a few professional roles that could amplify each other, most professionals were more suited for small-scale battlefields, making the entire situation chaotic.
The roars of humans, the howls of demonic creatures, and the screeches of mutated beasts echoed throughout the land. Amid this bloody and cruel meat grinder, three small figures were blending into the waves of the battlefield like little thieves, causing no ripples at all.
In mini form, the One-Eyed was only the size of a forearm, while Star was slightly larger, but compared to the nearby mutated creatures that often exceeded ten meters, they were unremarkable. Not to mention Lolo, who at this moment was possessing an unmutated ant, her tiny body perfectly hidden beneath the One-Eyed's short fur, undetectable to the naked eye.
