Sitting in the vehicle, Colin glanced outside, and could tell that the people from “Dawn’s Light Foundation” took this operation quite seriously.

The variety of vehicles alone numbered over a hundred, including some tank trailers among them.

Since the route had been prepared in advance, avoiding all dangerous projects, the only other things left were some of the black-skinned people who were a local specialty of Mie City.

However, these people, upon seeing such a scale of the convoy, chose to make way for it willingly.

“The intelligence of these things is on the rise. If it had been before, they might have charged up here, but now they actually know to hide. Looks like it’s time for a big cleanup, and to study how they’ve suddenly wised up…” The man in the Golden Mask, sitting next to Colin and the others, looked out the window at those covetous figures and spoke casually.

Amidst the faint sounds of conversation, after about sixteen hours in the vehicle, Colin and the others arrived near the “Hague Research Institute.”

Stepping out of the vehicle, Colin first took a look at the distant “Hague Research Institute,” nestled in a big mountain about thirty kilometers from the coast. Because it was some distance away, the mountain indeed resembled a fang stretching out from the sea, hence the name The Hague…

When he redirected his gaze, Colin noticed that the air was faintly carrying a wet, salty scent…

Among the smells, Colin detected the stench of decaying dead fish, which induced a strong sense of unease.

And the sound of the endless overlapping waves in his head became even clearer…

The lightless sea was exuding a deadly “temptation” towards him.

Suppressing his emotions slightly, Colin’s expression grew solemn; he was sure that the smell of decay floating nearby probably came from some extremely terrifying entity.

“The power contained here is almost equal to that behind ‘Beastification,’ and it’s almost on par with one fifth of ‘Hunger’…”

Colin couldn’t help but inwardly relieve that thankfully this thing was already dead, otherwise, he really didn’t know how to deal with it.

Of course, that was under the premise of stopping those guys’ revival ritual…

After composing himself, Colin looked around. Besides their reinforcement, both “The Human Future Research Institute” and “Dawn’s Light Foundation” had already deployed significant forces here before their arrival.

As per the agreement, they would take a vehicle directly into The Hague Shelter. As long as they could be successfully identified, the two shelters would launch a full-scale attack to stop the evil sacrifice of the Fishmen.

Before long, Colin got back into the vehicle. This time, only three vehicles were headed there, with Colin and his team sitting in the first, beginning their advance.

“Can we really blend in with this…” Qin Chuan and the others were feeling a little uncertain at this moment.

They were well aware that the defenses of “The Hague Shelter” must be incredibly strong to cause such trepidation in the two shelters.

If the verification failed, not to mention whether they could escape or not, even if they did, it wouldn’t be easy to handle the aftermath—

Some matters, although both sides were fully aware, still had room for negotiation until they were explicitly addressed…

Colin was about to say something when he suddenly heard some faint sounds and saw a clump of silver mud-like substance on the ground in front of them arch upwards, forming a metallic pillar over a man’s height, with a blurred human face protruding from its middle.

“You have entered private territory and are within the strike range. Please turn back immediately or move forward five meters and stop for inspection…”

An indifferent voice came from the mouth of this face.

‘Is this nanomachinery?’ Colin wanted to take a closer look but could not discern anything significant.

The people in the vehicle exchanged glances, then continued to drive forward to the designated spot and stopped…

At that moment, a flat blue light shone from the eyes of the face, inspecting the entire vehicle. After a dozen seconds had passed, the face suddenly spoke up, causing everyone to tense up.

“Genetic match correct… Great Wisdom Chip missing… Anomalous situation: 2545712…”

Everyone’s breathing hitched, and the people in the two vehicles trailing behind couldn’t help but ready their weapons, prepared for a preemptive strike.

Otherwise, once these “nanomachines” scattered into the air, it would be troublesome.

However, it was at this moment that Colin noticed the eyes of the human face suddenly moved and looked at him, no, more precisely, at the “Colin” parchment in his pocket.

And then…

“Verification complete, welcome back, Chief of Shelter. May I ask if there is anything I can assist you with?”

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, while inside the first vehicle, Qin Chuan followed the direction of the human face’s gaze and couldn’t help but glance at Colin, never expecting that his identity in this world would be the chief of The Hague Shelter.

“It’s probably just a coincidence…”

Colin pursed his lips, not particularly surprised.

Next, they heard a voice from the wireless earpiece, “The System has indeed been hacked. Tell it to bring up the map of the research institute and to perform a high-level deep self-check to identify the problematic area.”

Similar functions exist in every shelter’s smart AI, let alone here.

With the command issued, a 3D holographic map projection appeared in front of Colin. In the projection, there was an area that constantly failed to load.

“Warning! Unable to perform checks on D-3 Area. All ‘Worker Bees’ entering the area have been subject to unknown attacks. Please have the head of the armed section dispatch forces swiftly…”

“Warning! Signs of an A Level life form reawakening detected. Most of the research institute’s personnel are missing in several areas. Head of the armed section, the armed units have been completely annihilated…”

“Warning! Part of the nanomechanics are revolting for unknown reasons…”

“Warning! Please grant highest authority to the chief…”

…

A series of seven or eight warnings appeared on the 3D projection, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

“A revolt? How could this thing possibly revolt?!”

The voice in the earpiece was full of shock, but after a moment of thought, the man in the Golden Mask immediately said, “Don’t grant access to the highest authority, put it on maximum alert, then lead the way, and also allow all of us to have our weapons access authorized.”

Even the mechanical synthetic voice sounded somewhat anxious at this moment.

Because he couldn’t imagine what on earth could make these uncontrollable entities revolt!

Colin did as instructed, and after granting the permissions, the earth trembled, and thousands of armed personnel moved out with their combat vehicles.

Colin and the others immediately got out of their vehicles and raced towards the uncontrollable “D-3” area.

“Something isn’t right,” Colin paused mid-step.

He realized that ever since they had entered, their path had been clear, and apart from seeing traces of past battles, no other enemies had appeared.

However, just as this thought crossed his mind, Colin suddenly saw at the end of The Hague Shelter’s metal corridor, a familiar gigantic figure of a Fishman holding a spear, blocking the path, while behind it, a sizable altar could be faintly seen.

But compared to those bizarre creatures, Colin frowned and glanced at the more familiar entities beside the giant Fishman.

A group of monsters with split bodies and covered in strange flesh orbs.

It was upon seeing those things that Colin immediately understood the reason for the “nanomechanics” losing control.

The followers of “Mother of the Red Moon” were here…

That meant the power of the “Red Moon” was here too!

And it was at that moment, an intense sense of danger exploded in Colin’s mind!
