Chapter 893 893: Attacked From Both Sides ( 14 )
The communication device was built using nanotechnology and was only the size of a mole. Even when he turned into a shadow, the communication device wouldn't attract any attention.
Following Qin Luzi's guidance, Jian Ziqin managed to avoid the guards and sneak into the dormitory areas. Unlike before, the workers were not sent to the mine but locked inside the buildings.
Although no one knew why they were not allowed to leave, they were happy to stay far away from the crystals. While their food and water had been cut in half, they didn't have to do heavy work, which gave their bodies time to recuperate.
At this moment, inside one of the buildings, Richard Tolstoy and some of his team members were sitting together in the corner of the room. Due to the lack of food, they were not as energetic as when they first arrived.
"Boss, we can't contact the outside. Do you think those people will stick to our agreement?" one of them asked in a low voice.
To avoid being exposed, they didn't dare to call him General and chose to call him Boss instead.
Richard shook his head and replied, "We never had any contact with them, so it's hard to say. But Lustin always talked about how strong and trustworthy they were. What's more, in our current situation, we have no other choice but to trust them."
His members nodded and closed their eyes to conserve their energy. Not long after, Richard felt something poking at his back. When he turned, he saw a hand made of shadow making a gesture to him.
Feeling curious, he reached out, and a small item the size of a mole was placed on his palm. He looked at the gesture again and attached the mole behind his ear.
As soon as he put on the device, the shadow hand merged with his shadow and disappeared. A few seconds later, he heard a voice coming from the mole.
"General Tolstoy, this is Jin Xuyan, Captain of the Phantom Team."
Hearing this, Richard's eyes flashed with surprise. After a moment, he lowered his voice and replied, "This is Richard speaking."
"Captain Jin, my team and I are detained in the building with the rest of the workers. We can't leave the building and are unable to contact you. Do you have any plans? We will do our best to cooperate with you."
On the other end, Jin Xuyan smiled when he heard this. He told Richard about his plan before adding, "We found a hidden base under the mine. Right now, we don't know the situation below, but we are sure that it's some kind of military camp."
"Our priority right now is to rescue the workers and evacuate them. Your team will be responsible for creating a diversion and pulling the guards away. The rest will be handled by my team."
Richard frowned and said, "Captain Jin, the number of guards guarding this base is more than 5,000 people. Even if my team creates a diversion, we won't be able to pull all the guards away."
"No need to pull all the guards, just those guarding the dormitories are enough."
He thought for a while before saying, "I need to inform my team members first. I will inform you in half an hour."
"Okay."
After they cut off communication, Richard told his members about the plan. Then, they sneaked out of the room to contact the rest of the members.
As they dodged the guards, the workers noticed their movements, and some of them caught on to their plan of leaving. From one person, it spread to a group. From one group, it spread to another.
After half an hour, most of the workers who were still able to move were already preparing to follow Richard and his team to escape.
Not knowing that a large group of people were waiting for them to take action, Richard and his team gathered on the rooftop of the dormitories.
When the sun rose above their heads, one of the mutants raised his hands and gathered his energy. The next moment, a massive fireball flew toward the nearby watchtower at a high speed.
BOOM!
The moment the fireball hit the tower, it exploded instantly. The explosion caused a huge shockwave that sent debris and dust flying.
BANG!
The watchtower collapsed, and a thick cloud of dust covered the area within a radius of 50 meters. Seeing this, Richard nodded at his members, and they leaped from the rooftop to another building.
As they moved toward the west entrance of the base, the sound of sirens echoed throughout the area. Soon after, most of the guards were sent to chase after them.
Outside the base, the Phantom Team heard the siren. Jin Xuyan nodded, and the next moment, Jiao Lizhi activated the space portal.
Unlike Jian Ziqin, who entered sneakily, they teleported directly to the dormitory area.
The moment they appeared, the members rushed into the buildings and started evacuating everyone. In less than five minutes, most of the workers rushed out of the buildings.
At the same time, a large group of Matkuna soldiers rushed over from a distance. Seeing this, Du Beiye activated her battle mode and said, "I will hold them back!"
Before her voice fell, she had already dashed toward the bugs. With a flick of her wrist, her bracelet turned into a Zweihänder.
The black sword glinted under the sunlight as she leaped into mid-air. With a spin of her body, she swung the blade down. As the blade hit the ground, a sharp wind blade flew toward the incoming bugs.
BOOM!
A deep, long crack appeared on the ground while a large group of bugs was split in half by the wind blade. The impact of the attack sent nearby bugs flying.
With her landing the first attack, the rest of the members also joined the fight.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Crack! Boom!
The sounds of explosions and lightning bolts echoed one after another. The Matkuna soldiers were unable to advance further while facing the members.
