Chapter 925: The Crazy Collapse

(TL: This is bonus chapter #3 for October. Enjoy! And thanks for the patreon support!)

"So it's a combination of Lickers and Viperwolves...Are they planning to lead the charge with a massive amount of summoned creatures instead of an MT?"

Both Sheyan and Aziz were battle veterans. Perhaps Sheyan had a little less fighting experience than Aziz, but Sheyan himself was an MT, so he was even more familiar with MT-related tactics than Aziz.

When they saw such a tactic, the corresponding way of dealing with it immediately popped up in their minds!

Sheyan instantly reminded K:

"Be careful of those Lickers. They carry a lot of viruses on them. Humans that are directly killed by them carried a great risk of turning into zombies!"

Aziz also chimed in:

"The weakness of the Viperwolves lies on their waist..."

Under the guidance of the two, only 5% of the MIB's energy reserve was spent to exterminate all the summoned creatures. The automatic weapons were enough to deal with them. More importantly, the army would arrive soon. The summoner must not have sent their strongest summoned creature out of self-interest, which was why the pressure was so light.

This did not put Sheyan and Aziz at ease in the slightest. They both aware of the possibility of this attack being merely a diversionary tactic. They immediately checked the system structure layout of the entire MIB with the help of K and found that the system was seamless, but only when dealing with humans!

Even a wise man sometimes made a mistake!

Considering the strength of the top-tier existences among the participants, the seven ventilation shafts and six sewer tunnels in the MIB base might as well be unobstructed shortcuts! Sheyan and Aziz exchanged glances and immediately determined that if the enemies had infiltrated the base, their first target wouldn't be the two of them, but the power supply room instead!

Right when they realised this, the lights around them blacked-out for an instant, then came back on as if the power supply was merely unstable. K's expression turned grim. He said:

"When the MIB base was built, two backup power supplies were prepared in case of emergencies. If the main power supply was attacked, the two backup power supplies will take over its function. They could last for at least thirty-six hours."

Sheyan nodded and said:

"I understand. Give the two of us 10 soldiers. We can guard one of the backup power supplies. Next, declare a state of emergency, activate all defensive systems, then concentrate your remaining manpower on the other backup power supply. Our objective is not to win, but to persist until military reinforcement arrives."

K gave a deep stare to Sheyan and Aziz and finally said:

"Okay."

　　************

The long, clean passage had a metallic texture. The surrounding lights were akin to the runway lights on spaceships. The patterned timing with which the lights lit up made it seem like light was flowing along the runway. They presented a strong high-tech feel.

Sheyan folded his arms across his chest while he calmly stood in the middle of the passage. Anyone who saw him right now would feel his oppressive determination to guard the place. Even if the sky fell down, he would hold it back up.

Right behind Sheyan was the backup power supply. During the early stages of the base construction, this place was already identified as an important defensive spot. All kinds of equipment was available here. Ten MIB agents, each armed with high-energy pulse alien technology weapons, hid behind riot shields, forming a protective barrier.

Aziz was nowhere to be seen. He could only display his greatest strength when he hid in the darkness.

While it may be conceited to call the defensive arrangement absolutely impregnable, they were very confident that they could hold out until reinforcement from the US government arrived.

However, just five minutes after Sheyan and his group took over, the lights flashed again. When the lights turned back on this time, they look weak and dim. The backup power supply station behind Sheyan first emitted a deep roar, then started running smoothly. Apparently, the backup power supply station on K's side had been compromised.

They held on for only five minutes!

Sheyan's face twitched. The words "freaking useless" were about to escape his mouth but he forced them back.

The reason the defensive strength of the MIB base was so fragile was in large part due to the threat from the Arquillian Battle Cruiser.

The incident had led to the large-scale departure of aliens from Earth. Some of the aliens who lived in the MIB headquarters had also fled. If they were here, the base's defensive strength would have been raised several times over.

Two minutes after the other backup power supply station was compromised, the door at the end of the passage on their side sprung open. K and Z, both soaked in blood, ran over in a hurry. A few Viperwolves and Lickers were chasing after them!

Seeing this, the agents behind Sheyan got a bit agitated. After all, K and Z were held in very high regards around here. They were very popular figures! Some of the agents even planned to run out of their covers to help them.

However, Sheyan coldly issued an order:

"Fire."

"What!!" The agents could hardly believe their ears! Of course they couldn't execute that order. Instead, they yelled and started rushing forward to provide help to their superiors.

But the next instant, a few ruthless and monotonous gunshots sounded. The heads of both K and Z exploded simultaneously, bursting into large groups of red mist. Their bodies fell down and rolled a few times on the ground. It was the work of the merciless Aziz.

"What the hell are you guys doing??!!" All the agents snarled in anger. They could not find Aziz so they pointed their guns at Sheyan.

Sheyan sneered mockingly:

"You idiots call yourselves MIB agents? Look at the cross-section on their necks. Have you ever seen humans with that kind of body structure?"

The agents turned. suddenly turned their heads and suddenly found the blood in the pool. The neck sections of the two headless bodies were pulsating fiercely like the intense muscle contraction when a lizard had its tail severed. That instantly aroused their suspicion.

Sheyan roared:

"You bunch of noobs, what are you spacing out for? Are you going to wait until the monsters are right in front of you, then knock at their heads with your gun handles?"

The agents woke up from their stupor and opened fire. The weapons they used were powerful indeed. Creatures such as the Viperwolves were all killed in one hit! Severed limbs and body pieces flew amidst violent explosions. Because the charging Lickers and Viperwolves carried great momentum, their broken flesh and limbs flung forward and dropped like rain after they died.

The agents were well-trained. They half-kneeled on the ground and kept shooting. Their shots were very precise.

But right when the creatures were all annihilated, an agent screamed painfully. A broken paw of a Viperwolf in front of him had suddenly come alive and leapt up from the ground, slamming into his eyes.

The strange occurrences did not stop there. The shattered flesh and limbs all started bouncing around like frogs and leapt around the agents. The flesh pieces that were originally non-threatening would melt like wax when they came into contact with the agents' skins and seeped inside their bodies. The horrible sizzling sound blended with the agonising screams of the MIB agents to turn the place into a living hell.

The organic pieces also came into contact with Sheyan's skin but for some reason, they triggered a Physique check. Sheyan's insane Physique attribute was definitely not something they could overcome. As a result, the fleshes actually withered on his skin. Not only were they unable to damage Sheyan, they actually recovered his HP.

"Those were not summoned creatures!" Sheyan suddenly came to a realisation! "They were only temporarily turned into this form! There appeared to be more than a dozen enemies entering this place, but in reality, they all share the same life. It was akin to how five fingers on a hand may appear like individual entities, but they share the same life."

Following the death of the trainee agents, their bodies disintegrated into small chunks the size of tofu blocks. The chunks bounced like frogs and congregated at the end of the passage!

An extremely thin person appeared at the end of the passage. He looked very much like a dry corpse. As he stretched out his arms, the flesh chunks leapt towards him and dissolved into his body! Almost in an instant, the person turned from an extremely skinny man into an extremely muscular guy.

He was at least two meters tall. His muscles were solid, his shoulders were broad, and his waist was slim; all in all, he was a very fit man. It's just that he was completely naked and his skin was shiny. He looked like the gladiators in ancient Roman Colosseum who smeared olive oil on their bodies! However, Sheyan and Aziz knew that it wasn't the glow of olive oil at all, it was the glow of life! The glow of the lives he had just absorbed!
