Chapter 425: Chapter 403: Counterkill Once Again

Aside from the monitors, all facilities in the containment area had completely lost control; even the main gate couldn’t be opened, so they could only watch helplessly as a group of people left, with the chubby man grinding his teeth in frustration, powerless to do anything.

But fortunately, capturing Chen Xiao was enough!

At that moment, all members of the field team had already gathered outside the main control room, and the guards had completely sealed off the entire underground area. Although he knew that Chen Xiao was just an ordinary human, he still took no chances. With such a setup, not even Bai Xiong or the Drunk, who were good at brute force, would possibly make it out.

"Capture him alive!" the chubby man commanded everyone.

Several combat personnel exchanged glances. Smoke bombs and paralyzing gas canisters, along with other non-lethal equipment, were drawn, and even a few who were quick on their feet gathered at the door, having even prepared for the target’s potential suicide.

"Move!" the chubby man ordered.

With no restriction privilege in the control room, others could naturally enter at will. As soon as his words fell, the door opened, and tear gas and stun grenades were thrown in together. Given Chen Xiao’s physical condition, in that one second, he would have completely lost all ability to move, but since he was a class S anomaly, no one dared to be negligent. Several people raised their tranquilizer guns and fired wildly into the room. The tranquilizer canisters clinked against the screens or walls, creating a ding-ding-dang noise so dense that not even a mosquito could escape. That wasn’t all; the next second, an inconspicuous little iron bead was thrown in. As soon as it hit the ground, it released an electric current that could sever biological neural responses, so even if the target wore equipment that could withstand bullets, he couldn’t evade this biological attack.

Such an extent of capture was almost the highest consideration an ordinary person could imagine.

The field team personnel were well-trained, and all of this was completed within seconds. Now, the door of the control room had just fully opened, and the tear gas smoke continued to thicken.

"Capture him!" someone, who apparently had a decent reputation, shouted. As soon as he finished speaking, several people who had enhanced their vision had already entered with guns raised, and others who had stayed at the door had already put on protective goggles and rushed into the room. Meanwhile, all the guards began to close in, and outside the room, thermal and sonar detection equipment had been set up, literally everything conceivable was used.

But... after a few seconds!

"Report... report, there’s... there’s no one here," someone hesitantly said.

"What?" the one who had just shouted to capture him was startled.

Back in the surveillance room in the middle of the building, the chubby man was also startled by this report and blurted out, "Impossible!"

Immediately following, the people outside began to walk into the room. A man equipped with mechanical prosthetic limbs activated the air purification function, and soon, everything in the room became visible.

The control room wasn’t large; a semi-circular staircase wrapped around and descended a few steps, and apart from the control console and monitoring screens directly ahead, there were no decorations. Standing on the stairs, one could see everything at a glance, but just as the report had said... there was simply no one else here!

Everyone was stunned, looking at one another, completely baffled.

That’s when... someone at the bottom of the stairs seemed to see something; he bent down.

"Is this... a cellphone?" He picked something up from the floor, also a bit puzzled as he said, "Why would there be a cellphone here?"

Another person, apparently the leader of their team, quickly came over and snatched the cellphone, "This... this is the standard-issue cellphone for our field team!" he exclaimed, and at the same time turned the phone on.

Suddenly! A flash of light flickered, and a man with a hunched back suddenly appeared mid-air. He looked around with his hands in his pockets, then turned around and grinned in a particular direction.

This person was indeed Chen Xiao... or more precisely, a recorded image of Chen Xiao, produced using the same holographic technology that The Union had used for centuries to hide their bases!

The person holding the phone was so shocked by the scene on the screen that his mouth hung open for a long while before he finally looked down to see whose phone it was. However, all permissions had been deleted, leaving no trace behind, and on the back of the phone, he noticed several pen marks that seemed to have been written previously but were now illegible due to the successive explosions and currents.

In front of the surveillance screen, Xiao Nan’s forehead veins bulged as he realized what was happening. In fact, if he had enough time, he could have imagined this scenario, but the situation was too urgent to allow for hesitation. It was like someone coming at you with a knife—you would instinctively dodge, not test whether the knife was real by risking your life.

But it was all too late; he had been deceived...

However, luckily, the Splitters’ intrusion seemed like mere mischief, and nothing had been seriously destroyed.

Just then...

"No good!" he yelled out, as if he remembered something, and then he violently grabbed a microphone nearby!

"Engineering department, stop the transportation of the bodies! Don’t let the transport plane take off! Stop everything! Stop!"

He screamed frantically, not caring that just fifteen minutes ago, he had been urging these people to hurry up with the removal of the bodies!

However, he was a step too late again.

"Re...report! The transport plane has just taken off!" a staff member said.

"Damn it!" Xiao Nan angrily threw the microphone on the ground and hurriedly pressed another button on the console.

"Radar! Surveillance equipment, find the transport plane that just took off, and shoot it down!" he roared, sounding somewhat hysterical.

Soon, a trembling voice came through: "Report to the councilor... the radar can’t locate it; there’s nothing in the sky!"

Xiao Nan’s head buzzed, and his body wobbled as he collapsed into the chair behind him, thinking, yes, if the radar had detected it, it would have found it before the defense layer was breached.

"How could this be..." he muttered almost unconsciously.

...

At that moment, high above, the transport plane was flying smoothly.

In the cabin, five guards sat around a huge humanoid containment pod, within which was Angel, surrounded by several bodies also dressed in guard uniforms.

Then, with a soft sound, the Postman appeared with Jingjing and Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao sat with one leg crossed over the other: "You see, I told you it was simple. If we did as you said and made a door as big as the plane’s entrance, this plan wouldn’t be finished until next month."

The Postman, visibly annoyed, scoffed and then threw a lock at him.

"Here, the one you asked me to bring back!"
