WHOOSH, WHOOSH, WHOOSH…

Zhou Tianyu, Zhang Hangkui, and the others retreated rapidly, their movements ripping through space. They flashed through the corridor like streaks of light, covering several thousand meters with each flicker.

"Hahaha… You can't escape! Not a single one of you! We will eat you all!"

Harold led nine SSS-Class Gene-enhanced People, laughing viciously as they gave relentless pursuit.

Fortunately, a series of gates dropped, holding them back for brief moments. Otherwise, the pursuers would have quickly caught up. After all, most of Zhou Tianyu and Zhang Hangkui's group were Golden Core Realm Cultivators, and they lacked the speed of the SSS-Class Gene-enhanced People.

Finally, Zhou Tianyu, Zhang Hangkui, and their group of over one hundred experts poured into a large hall. As soon as he entered, Zhou Tianyu shouted, "The enemy is almost here! How do we kill them?"

"You can just sit back and watch the show," Zhang Bin replied with a sinister smile. He then turned to Madisha's projection and said, "Madisha, it's time for the Mechanical Warriors to strike. Otherwise, they'll surely break through the second layer's entrance and unleash those thousand Demons."

"General Tianpeng, attack. Annihilate them all," Madisha commanded, casting an exasperated glance at Zhang Bin.

This projection was actually a sapient AI with Madisha's memories, not unlike Tutu. It was precisely because Zhang Bin had his own sapient AI like Tutu that he wasn't too surprised by Madisha's existence.

"Kill those Little Devils!" the Mechanical Warrior named General Tianpeng shouted ferociously.

THUD, THUD, THUD…

The majority of the Mechanical Warriors mobilized, swiftly rushing out of the hall and into the corridor.

WHOOSH, WHOOSH, WHOOSH…

The ten SSS-Class Gene-enhanced People tore through the air, their killing intent overwhelming. However, their faces instantly twisted in terror. They saw that the wide corridor was densely packed with Mechanical Warriors—some kneeling, some crouching, some standing tall. From the barrels of their weapons, they fired a type of bullet none of them had ever seen before.

These bullets crackled with a dazzling electrical light, transforming into terrifying bolts of thunder the moment they left the barrel. Their speed was unbelievable, rivaling that of true lightning. The pursuers had no time to dodge and were instantly struck.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM…

A continuous, cataclysmic sound erupted. The blinding light nearly seared the eyes of Zhang Bin and his allies.

"AHHHH!"

Harold and his companions screamed in agony as they were sent flying backward, tumbling through the air. Of course, they were not dead; they were SSS-Class Gene-enhanced People with incredibly strong Defensive Power. However, the terrifying Thunderous Assault had left their bodies numb, making it extremely difficult to flee or dodge.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" the Mechanical Warriors roared with overwhelming momentum. Drawing the sabers from their waists, they transformed into whirlwinds and charged, furiously attacking the ten SSS-Class Gene-enhanced People.

The glint of their sabers flashed like lightning, instantly enveloping the ten targets. Terrified, the SSS-Class Gene-enhanced People desperately used their Magical Treasures to defend themselves.

CLANG, CLANG, CLANG…

The sound of clashing steel rang out as densely as raindrops.

"AHHHH!"

The screams were exceptionally piercing. One of the SSS-Class Gene-enhanced People had his head chopped off, but he didn't die immediately, letting out cries of agony instead. In the span of just a few breaths, five of them were hacked to death by the Mechanical Warriors' frenzied assault.

Harold, being the strongest, was naturally still alive. He immediately screamed in panic, "Run!"

Taking the lead, he retreated hastily, trying to flee the hellish corridor.

"Trying to escape? As if," General Tianpeng sneered. He and the other Mechanical Warriors once again fired those terrifying bullets from their bodies.

Harold and the others were struck by the thunderous volleys again, their bodies going numb once more. The Mechanical Warriors charged in pursuit, attacking them ferociously.

In just a few more breaths, the remaining SSS-Class Gene-enhanced People, including the powerful Harold, were sliced into pieces, dying miserable deaths.

It was no contest. These Mechanical Warriors were the pinnacle of the Xingyue people's technology. They had fought the Genetically Enhanced Humans for a thousand years and possessed immense experience. Dealing with these SSS-Class Gene-enhanced People, who had no real combat experience, was naturally an easy task.

"Hiss…" Zhang Bin, Zhou Tianyu, and Zhang Hangkui all gasped, their faces etched with disbelief.

Ten extremely powerful SSS-Class Gene-enhanced People, each comparable to a Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivator, were killed so easily? If so, how could the Xingyue people have been defeated by the Genetically Enhanced Humans and nearly wiped out?

Perhaps sensing their thoughts, Madisha explained, "Those were only the earliest Genetically Enhanced Humans. Although they were SSS-Class, they were the weakest. Their offspring would be much stronger. You could describe their strength progression like this: Level 3.1, Level 3.2, and Level 3.3 Genetically Enhanced Humans, and so on. They used reproduction to create even more powerful versions. Some could rival Mid Nascent Soul Stage and even Late Stage Cultivators, and they appeared in large numbers. It was virtually impossible to deal with them. You might find it hard to imagine a child only a few years old possessing the strength of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator. They were even more savage, capable of eating ten people at once. Therefore, even though we Xingyue people managed to create some powerful technological weapons, we still lost, and we lost terribly."

"This is bad! The Genetically Enhanced Humans on the outside have already started reproducing…" Zhao Dawei and the others turned deathly pale.

Even Zhang Bin's forehead broke out in a cold sweat, his face filled with dread. If countless offspring comparable to Mid to Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators appeared, each eating ten people for a single meal, wouldn't the world descend into chaos? The number of people who would die wrongful deaths would be unimaginable.

"We have to get back and report this immediately!"

Zhang Bin didn't dare to delay for another second. He promptly bade farewell to Madisha and sternly warned all the Mechanical Warriors to guard this place well. They could not let the one thousand SSSS-Class Genetic Enhancers escape the second layer. If that happened, humanity would be finished, Madisha would be finished, and her body would be devoured by them.

"Master, the situation is grim. It won't be easy to escape. The Americans have mobilized a massive force and surrounded both exits. There are Genetically Enhanced Humans among them, as well as many powerful Superpower Users and Cultivators. Their weapons are terrifying, all sourced from this base…"

Tutu's anxious voice suddenly echoed in Zhang Bin's mind.

Damn it! The Americans are seeking their own death, and they're going to drag the whole world down with them! Zhang Bin cursed inwardly, absolutely furious.

But now was not the time for cursing. He had to find a way to escape this underground base.

What's the best way out?
