Outside the research institute, Han Shu and his men had already begun fighting with the Black Star Fort garrison. Gunshots, howls, roars, screams, all kinds of sounds came one after another and merged together.
Inside the institute, it was surprisingly quiet. Tianyang kept moving between various shadows or hidden corners. Apart from the occasional soldiers rushing outside for support, the boy didn't see even a single researcher.
I think the Karthus troops must have been prepared and arranged for the researchers to take refuge in a safe place. This is normal. It would be strange if there were still researchers running around in the institute.
In a blink of an eye, Tianyang had already arrived near the main gate of the institute. Hiding in the dark, looking towards the main building, there were soldiers guarding both sides of the gate. Looking from the windows of each floor of the building, people flashed from time to time, and there were faint reflections in some shadowy corners of the building.
Tianyang exhaled softly.
Black Star Castle had indeed arranged personnel in the main building. It seemed that what he wanted must be in there.
It would definitely be unwise to charge in directly. Tianyang retreated quietly, circled around the main building from a distance, and then found a defense loophole.
It was a dark window, open, and I couldn't see what was inside.
According to intelligence, there was a warehouse behind the window at this location. Tianyang did not act immediately. The boy did not believe that Black Star Castle would be so careless as to leave such an obvious loophole.
So, loopholes are fake and traps are real.
Tianyang guessed correctly. There were two snipers and a level 2 Ascendant lying in ambush in this window.
Their strength may not be that strong, but if someone gets in through the window, they will have to bear their attack. At the same time, it will alert other soldiers and superior officers in the building.
Although the fighting outside the institute was fierce, the ambushers in the warehouse had indifferent expressions, like lifeless puppets.
The sniper and the Ascendant were both hiding in the dark, staring at the window. In order not to arouse suspicion, they turned off all the lights, plunging the warehouse into darkness.
As a result, they did not notice that suddenly a few pieces of gray catkins floated in from the metal fence of the vent above their heads.
The ashes continued to fall and landed behind a sniper. The sniper still didn't notice, so the ashes stuck together behind him and formed two gray bone hands.
The pair of bony arms quietly extended out, one covering the sniper's mouth, the other holding his neck, and before the sniper could make a sound, they pulled hard.
There was a slight sound from the sniper's neck, and the two bony arms let go of him. The sniper still maintained his original appearance, but his head drooped weakly, as if he had fallen asleep.
When the second sniper also died silently, the Ascendant finally felt something was wrong. He wanted to make a sound immediately, but the moment he opened his mouth, a few pieces of gray flakes floated into his mouth. When the sound reached his throat, a red light lit up in his mouth.
The sudden high temperature caused severe damage to the Sublimator's vocal cords. He couldn't even scream as a bony arm had already grabbed his neck and lifted him up.
Afterwards, gray fluff floated and continuously recombined, and a gray-white figure appeared in the air.
This is a figure made up of gray-white bones. This gray-white figure is holding a warhammer made of flames in his hand.
Ashes Raised
The war hammer smashed on the Ascendant's head. Instantly, blazing flames burst out from the Ascendant's eyes, nostrils, and mouth.
After the flames dissipated, smoke came out of the Sublimator's seven orifices, and even his brain was burnt to a crisp.
Huihai threw the body down casually and stood there quietly.
A moment later, Tianyang silently slipped in through the window, glanced at the corpse on the ground, and with a thought, the Ash Skeleton Demon fell apart and turned into a gray cloud, floating lightly into the exhaust system above.
Tianyang drew out the Golden Wind, silently came to the door, and gently opened the door a tiny gap. Looking out from the gap, a soldier from the Death Song Army was sitting opposite the warehouse door. He was holding a Star Rifle in his arms, which was very different from the one used by the Skyforge.
The gun was short but rather rugged, and judging from the caliber, it was probably quite powerful. In addition, the soldier had a sword on his leg, which meant he was good at using a sword.
But he should be just an ordinary person, not an ascender. Tianyang could not feel the breath of star energy on him.
He was wearing headphones, and if he found anything unusual in the warehouse, he would contact his companions immediately. If Tianyang had rushed in directly from the window just now, even if he could quickly kill the ambushers inside, he would have been noticed by the soldier at the door and reported it.
Now it is a different situation.
Several pieces of ash fell from behind the soldier, and they stuck together to form a bone arm. The bone arm silently reached down from midair and pinched the soldier's neck. Before the soldier could react, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Tianyang then quietly went to his fellow disciple, Jinfeng stabbed him in the chest, then walked around the corpse and went up the stairs to the second floor.
We made it to the third floor smoothly.
On the way to the fourth floor, Tianyang found several devices installed on the walls on both sides, and the color of the shells blended seamlessly with the walls.
If the light here was not dim and they were not emitting a faint red dot, and Tianyang was cautious enough, he might have just overlooked them.
Tianyang reviewed what he had learned and recognized these devices. These were infrared alarm devices. Now this seemingly safe space was actually filled with invisible rays.
Once someone passes by, the alarm will be triggered.
Tianyang had no choice but to go to the third floor and find another way out. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the corridor, a figure walked in from the corner. The boy didn't even have time to evade, so he had to take off his Ice Soul Gun and shoot.
The green beam cut through the air in the corridor and hit the figure directly, piercing his chest. The soldier opened his mouth wide, and the cold air spread in his chest, and the armor froze. But his blood had already frozen, and his life had long left him.
The frozen body fell straight down, Tianyang flashed in and came to the body, gently caught it, and then carried the body to the corner of the stairs, put it in a sleeping position, and then gently wiped the cold sweat.
Continue sneaking.
Not long after, Tianyang met patrolling soldiers again. There were no extra rooms in this corridor, so he had to hide in a bathroom not far away.
There was a smell of disinfectant in the bathroom. Tianyang frowned. It seemed that the director of the institute was a mysophobe.
He looked around and found a window. There was a window, so he could climb up from the outer wall.
Tianyang walked quickly, and just as he passed a pool, something suddenly flashed in the mirror. Tianyang looked quickly,
I only saw in the mirror that a door next to me opened, and a dazzling light shone out from behind the door.
Flares!
There was actually someone hiding in the bathroom and firing flares in such a limited space!
Tianyang quickly closed his eyes, but it was still too late. The strong light from the flare burned his eyes. Even with his eyes closed, he still saw a vast expanse of white.
Without thinking too much, Tian Yang activated the incomplete Shadow Guard. He immediately felt a thick aura around him, and the light in front of him became a little weaker.
At this moment, he felt a sharp touch on his waist, and then heard someone say "eh". The boy locked the position, reached out, and immediately grabbed someone's wrist.
Tianyang opened his eyes again, and in front of him, there were pieces of shimmering purple light rising up. Through the purple light, he saw an old man.
The old man held a sharp stabbing blade in his hand. This kind of blade is specially used for stabbing. It has a narrow blade, a sharp edge, and a blood groove.
At this moment, the thorn blade was against his waist, surrounded by a ball of purple, and was obviously intercepted in time by the phantom energy of the demon shadow. Otherwise, the thorn blade would have penetrated deep into his body, causing unimaginable damage.
The old man who attacked Tianyang was the lieutenant named Gecko.
After the attack of the Skyfort, under the order of the colonel, he came to the main building of the institute to guard it.
Coincidentally, Gecko did not notice Tianyang invading the main building, he just happened to be using the bathroom.
After discovering the intruder, Gekko used flares to steal Tianyang's vision, and then silently stabbed the boy in the waist. It was a sure-fire attack, but Tianyang suddenly activated the magic shadow to protect his body, causing the attack to fail.
Looking at the oppressive and dark demonic shadow surrounding the young man, Gecko was dumbfounded. Tianyang's ability completely overturned his common sense.
Take the demon shadow in front of him, for example, the heavy sense of oppression, the outline of thick armor, and the two ferocious shadow blades. If Tianyang was not wearing the uniform of the Night Walker, Gekko would have thought that he was facing some kind of evil people from the opposite world!
At this time, Tianyang's golden wind had already passed over. With a slight sound, it passed through the gecko's body.
The magic and shadow attacked synchronously, and the shadow blade slashed into the gecko's body, cutting half of the old man's body in half!
The gecko's eyes widened and his breath disappeared instantly.
Tianyang then breathed a sigh of relief and smiled bitterly. His power as an Ascender was always limited, so his perception was not sharp enough, and he didn't even know that there was an enemy hiding in the bathroom.
If it weren't for the Shadow Wristband, which protected his body with psionic energy in time, he would probably be lying down now.
Putting down the gecko's body, Tianyang removed the evil shadow, opened the window, and climbed out.
In an office on the fifth floor of the building.
Someone was standing in front of an intelligent computer terminal, waving his ten fingers and constantly typing something on the screen.
When a progress bar on the screen was full, he unplugged a few transmission cables and put a data box into his coat pocket.
"Almost, just a little bit!"
The middle-aged man smiled nervously: "Gong Bo, I will definitely surpass you. My research on divine organ transplantation has reached the final stage. As long as you give me more time, I will be able to overcome the difficulty of gene collapse. By then, I will be able to form an unlimited divine army!"
