Chapter 457: 397th Chapter “The Tragic Scene at the Periphery of Base Number Five.”_1 Chapter 457: 397th Chapter “The Tragic Scene at the Periphery of Base Number Five.”_1 “Base No. 5 is in emergency?”

Colin was stunned for a moment before snapping back to reality almost half a second later, hastily responding.

“What happened? Do you need me to reinforce?”

As he spoke, Colin glanced at the elementary school student lying on the ground and realized that the situation might not be simple.

The attack on Base Number Five gave him the feeling of having his home broken into.

“Yes, although I am also on my way, I can’t move that fast. If you have the time, I hope to request your assistance. As for the situation at Base Number Five, I’m not very clear about it myself; I only know there might have been an accidental loss of control during supernatural containment…” Xu Duojin’s voice was very quick.

Then the call was disconnected.

“Mr. Colin, is there something urgent again?” Hu Zheng asked.

Witnessing the changes in Colin’s expression, along with the powerful inspiration from “Fate Propeller,” he realized that something bad might be about to happen…

“Yes, there’s a bit of a situation at Base No. 5; I need to get there immediately. Take care of things here yourself, Xia Liufang is outside, and she’ll be coming in soon…”

With Xia Liufang’s backup support, there shouldn’t be much of an issue here.

Colin quickly explained and without saying much more, began to prepare for action. However, before setting off, he seemed to remember something, taking out his phone from his pocket and dialing Old Master Wu.

Although Xu Duojin could be considered Old Master Wu’s ambassador, it was best to be extra cautious and confirm things in times like these.

Especially since Colin had been inexplicably tricked into “The Seventh Box Garden World” last time, he had become very vigilant in this regard.

Regarding this account, Colin had discussed it with Old Master Wu before, having received the contact information directly from him. As long as he wasn’t confirmed dead, there was no need to worry that the person replying wouldn’t be him.

For on Earth, no one could impersonate him…

The phone rang for a few seconds before being hung up actively.

Then, Old Master Wu, with a black tower profile picture, sent a message: “You can go, but do not pursue too deeply.”

“1.”

After a brief response, Colin felt at ease, and his body shot through the air like a comet.

In the midst of the thunderous vibration, even though he used the effect of the Badge of Humility, due to the loudness of the noise, many people noticed.

“What happened?!”

“Did the enemies from the sea strike?”

“It’s a missile! Hurry, find shelter, take cover!”

“…”

Disregarding those below, Colin kept accelerating, and some of the higher floors even started to crack from the windows.

However, compared to the drop in his anonymity that exposure to the extraordinary might cause, it was better to reach Base Number Five quickly.

This was an extremely important facility. If something went wrong, the impact would be far greater than the repercussions of his hasty exposure.

“I remember that at least one very powerful Eighth Level personnel is stationed to guard Base Number Five. With various enhancements from his domain, it’s almost like his own territory. But to be able to infiltrate under these circumstances means the enemy must be equally strong…”

“There’s also the sudden incident involving Qin Chuan and Hu Zheng that occurred just before the attack, which seems like it could have been deliberate. Looking back, the distance indeed seems to have been widened…”

“It appears to be premeditated rather than an accidental loss of control.”

As thoughts flew through his mind, Colin dared not be negligent any longer, stacking up all the buffs he could while midair.

Before long, he could see the distant scenery, his heart sinking slightly.

Though still some distance away, he could already pick up on many unusually active “scents” emanating from the massive base…

…

Meanwhile, at Base Number Five, within a containment unit.

With a loud bang, an official personnel suddenly fell to the ground, his face twisted in agony, vomiting foam and convulsing violently.

It was as if he had a seizure…

However, what was more terrifying than a seizure was that after only a few seconds of convulsing, he exploded into a pool of blood on the spot.

This blood slowly flowed toward something in the front…

There, a gray stone statue entwined with numerous chains stood erect.

The statue was shaped like a cabbage wrapped in dozens of pitch-black wings, and in the center of this “cabbage,” a tongue with eyeballs on it was licking restlessly towards the blood on the ground.

It seemed desperate to lap up that blood…

Seeing this, a Sixth Level Official Personnel had to call out again, reminding the dozens of people in the area:

“Keep an eye on it, don’t look away! Otherwise, you’ll be attacked directly by it!”

The statue was only one meter tall and was not considered large. Even during a danger level assessment, it would only be rated as moderate to low risk. But at this moment, it had everyone there on high alert.

Normally, they would only need to keep their gaze fixed on it while backing away, reaching a safe distance of a thousand meters.

But now, with many anomalies suddenly erupting within Base Number Five, exiting might not be any safer than their current location.

After all, releasing this particular anomaly had been their own doing…

It was done to prevent other uncontrollable entities from sneaking into this containment unit and disrupting the seals within.

As for what was happening outside this containment chamber, they could no longer afford to care.

In any case, no matter the cost, they had to hold this containment unit. If it were breached, many newly transported anomalies that had not yet been further sealed would erupt…

At that point, the core internal area of Base Number Five might remain untouched, but all those in this outer perimeter would be doomed without doubt!

“Hold on, we…”
