#2149 - Defense Field
Chapter 2152: Defensive Field
Inside the research institute, everyone watched helplessly as the external defensive structures were destroyed one by one, and the energy value of the outer defensive force field rapidly decreased.
However, there was nothing they could do!
In less than ten minutes, the defensive force field surrounding the research institute was shattered by the combined bombardment of the Licker swarm and the Tree Spirit race!
“Boom!!!”
The moment the barrier force field shattered, a large number of Lickers poured into the research institute area, charging towards the front of the research institute building.
Instantly, alarms blared inside the research institute!
“Everyone, there is no need to panic.”
“Understood!”
Everyone’s emotions gradually stabilized, and they began to mobilize personnel to guard the interior of the research institute.
Just as the director of the research institute said, the research institute had an action plan in place for external intrusions from the initial design stage.
As long as they guarded all entrances and exits, they could hold out for at least 3 hours even against enemies a hundred times their number.
In the research institute’s emergency plan, these 3 hours were reserved for them to destroy research data.
Through the monitoring screens, everyone could see that the first wave of Lickers pouring in from the various invasion channels of the research institute had been blocked by beam weapon cannons and federal cyborg soldiers, and the offensive was temporarily contained.
Upon seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and began to implement the defense plan step by step.
Suddenly, a researcher operating the equipment noticed something, his expression changed slightly, and he immediately switched the screen.
Upon closer inspection, the researcher’s face showed an incredible expression, and his back was instantly drenched in sweat.
“Director.”
“What is it?”
“You, you should take a look at this.”
The staff member swallowed carefully and switched the screen image to the maximum.
What the hell!
The director frowned as he looked at the photo on the screen.
Looking closely, he saw a dense layer of worm-like creatures on the floor in the photo.
Worm-like bodies the size of fingernails, connected in patches!
Damn it!
They had infiltrated the interior of the research institute at some point!
“Worms!?”
Upon seeing the dense worm-like creatures, everyone in the command room felt a tingling sensation on their scalps.
The director of the research institute’s expression changed drastically, and he suddenly thought of something, shouting, “Quick! Check the ventilation duct situation!”
The screen switched.
In the ventilation ducts of the research institute area, large patches of worm-like creatures were slowly climbing upwards along the ducts, crawling in from the outside through the ventilation duct openings!
The staff member’s forehead was covered in cold sweat as he continuously switched between the various screen monitors.
A careful inspection revealed that the entire ventilation duct system was now occupied by dense worm-like creatures!
The entire research institute command room was deathly silent.
The research institute’s defenses were aimed at the Tree Spirit race and humans, and they never expected to encounter an invasion by worm-like lifeforms!
This meant that the worm bodies were about to invade every corner of the research institute through the ventilation duct entrances!
“Quick!” The director of the research institute shouted, “Everyone, move! Seal off all ventilation duct entrances and exits! If you can’t seal them, have someone watch them! Use flamethrowers! Do not allow the worm creatures to enter the research institute’s safe zone!”
“Understood!”
The central command room fell into chaos once again.
Beside him, an assistant walked up to Ji Haiting and whispered, “Chairman, it’s very dangerous here, do we need to evacuate?”
“Yes.”
Ji Haiting looked at the screen, his eyes flashing with appreciation, and he murmured to himself, “Fang Heng, today you have opened my eyes once again……”
Saying that, Ji Haiting looked at the assistant beside him and nodded, “Let’s go, it’s no longer safe here, we’ll evacuate first.”
“Understood, I’ll immediately arrange for an emergency transition device.”
……
At the same time, outside, the federal cyborg modification warriors had already retreated into the research institute before the barrier was broken. As the first batch of Lickers pounced on the research institute area, the second batch of worm bodies that arrived also burrowed into the research institute through various external gaps.
The large war machines and spider mechanical creatures outside the research institute had not been completely cleared. Senzo and a group of Tree Spirit elders took advantage of the chaos to break through the outer perimeter blockade and enter the interior of the research institute.
The Tree Spirit clansmen immediately occupied the main entrance and exit of the research institute.
A Tree Spirit clansman reported, “Great Elder, we have already controlled all entrances and exits.”
“Yes.”
Senzo nodded lightly and glanced at the situation inside the research institute.
Although the exterior of the research institute was on the verge of being completely breached, the interior was still controlled by Wan Ling Company and the Federation.
Cyborg modification warriors and psychic strengthening modification guard regiments firmly occupied the entrances and exits of the internal passages.
At the passage entrance on the left in front, more than twenty mechanical armored soldiers could be vaguely seen sealing off the road, constantly using beam weapons to suppress the Licker swarm in the passage.
The research institute had not given up, it had just transitioned from an external siege to an internal assault.
Senzo closed his eyes and sensed for a moment.
Through life perception, they could sense the life information fluctuations of the trapped clansmen.
The perception lasted for several seconds, and Senzo opened his eyes and looked to the right, “Vannis and the others are there.”
“First find a way to rescue Vannis and the others, they know where the Nium alloy is hidden.”
“Understood!”
The Tree Spirit party immediately nodded and went back to command the subsequent Tree Spirit team to advance along the right passage.
A Tree Spirit elder looked around and noticed that he didn’t see Fang Heng, and couldn’t help but whispered, “Great Elder, that human just now……”
“Yes.” Senzo pondered for a moment and nodded, “I’ll handle it.”
Fang Heng had always been the target of concentrated fire from the outer Federation and Wan Ling Company. He continuously controlled the Licker swarm to deal with more than a dozen troublesome large war machines before finding an opportunity to use the secondary space projection ability to avoid the enemy and enter the interior of the research institute.
At the main passage entrance inside the research institute, more than a dozen Tree Spirits responsible for guarding saw Fang Heng, and two of them immediately walked towards Fang Heng.
“Fang Heng, we have successfully entered the research institute area, but the crisis has not been resolved. The interference effect of our external transition is gradually weakening, and the speed at which the Federation arrives through transition is gradually accelerating. We need your assistance to clear out the war machines that are coming one after another, they will pose a great threat to us.”
