Chapter 460: Chapter 398 “Second Self·Death Immunity”_1 Chapter 460: Chapter 398 “Second Self·Death Immunity”_1 The figures outlined in the lines were a bit rough, with no facial details, but Colin could generally make out that they were likely the official guards stationed here…

At this moment, their frantic movements made it clear that the loss of control was not a first at this location.

Soon after, a wall collapsed, revealing a hole from which a dozen figures burst out and launched an attack on the other personnel present.

The personnel on the scene were shocked for a moment and then began to retaliate…

Unfortunately, faced with this group that had come prepared for a sneak assault, the guards suffered heavy casualties in an instant.

Even though there were a few stronger guards among them, they still couldn’t hold on.

The battle did not last long before it was over…

After taking control of the area with almost no significant cost, Colin and the others saw them disperse as if they had planned ahead, continuing to infiltrate the outskirts of Base Number Five.

Regrettably, at this point, the line-like appearances could hardly be maintained.

Beyond knowing that the entire process from their appearance to departure took no more than ten minutes, everything else remained unclear.

It was impossible to ascertain their purpose for the attack…

“They have specific countermeasures on them, too indistinct to see clearly, and they even deliberately erased their own presence…”

Next to Colin, Xu Duojin sighed and stretched out his hand, summoning back those black lines.

“Indeed…”

Colin, recalling what he had just seen, curiously asked, “Do you know about the ‘Awakeners’?”

As Old Master Wu’s liaison officer, Xu Duojin was obviously aware of the matter and nodded immediately:

“Are you suggesting that this whole group are those individuals?”

“Yes, I’m not very sure, because there are so few traces left by these people’s actions. But it’s precisely because of the scarcity that I think they are like those ‘Awakeners,'” Colin explained his thoughts briefly.

“According to current intelligence, ‘Awakeners’ usually appear alone, and their numbers are scarce, like some sort of special cases that occur randomly. We have not yet seen them act together, nor have there been any with power exceeding Fifth Level Personnel…”

“However, hearing what you’ve said, I too think there’s a possibility,” Xu Duojin conceded.

“If that is indeed the case, then the situation will be complicated…”

Xu Duojin’s tone became even more grave. He looked around again, at the corpses strewn everywhere, he thought of the interference at the moment of the reenactment, and of a group of high-level “Awakeners” who seemingly teamed up…

In a vague sense, it was as though one could glimpse an invisible, disruptive force trying to throw everything into chaos.

Colin followed his gaze and also took a look around, then said, “I feel that more than this incident, it’s time for a purge within your ranks.”

The hidden orchestrator of this attack had an exceptionally high understanding of the situation here.

They even managed to reassign their higher combat forces, creating a gap for infiltration…

Frankly, Colin didn’t believe that there hadn’t been some sort of information leak from the inside.

Hearing his words, Xu Duojin had no objections.

Inside… It was indeed time for a major cleanup.

But before they could say more, they simultaneously sensed something and turned their necks to look in a specific direction.

There, the wall contorted, and a stout, short figure emerged, his body covered in long charms with yellow backgrounds and red lettering. After arriving, he silently glanced at the scene and then, from his weird belly, a voice said:

“Right, there are no problems in the internal area, correct?” Xu Duojin asked.

“None.”

“That’s good.”

Xu Duojin looked at this special embodiment of Base Number Five, wanting to say something, but in the end, he shook his head and remained silent.

As the garrison of Base Number Five, on the surface, his performance could be considered quite poor.

His strength was definitely not as limited as it seemed…

But as a member of the higher echelons, Xu Duojin was well aware that, in a sense, this defense had been a success.

Because what he needed to ensure was the safety of the core area within Base Number Five, he could only intervene so much in the outer areas. Even if his main body came over and could quickly suppress these people, it wouldn’t really come…

With no blunders occurring in the core area, there was nothing to criticize about their entire response process.

After the conversation ended, silence fell upon the scene for a while.

Then, the stout man glanced at Colin and emotionlessly made a report via belly-talk, saying:

“I can sense that there are a few other uncontrolled anomalies roaming within the base. The threat level is not high, and several Level Three Armed Suppression Teams have been dispatched. There shouldn’t be any further problems…

“In addition, the enemy’s targets might be certain specific Containment Subjects, as I can feel that some of the subjects are missing…

“However, the specifics are still to be confirmed. If needed, I will inform you as soon as the results are out,” he added.

“Good,” Xu Duojin nodded.

After listening to their conversation for a while, Colin was the first to leave Base Number Five.

Although he was very interested in the specific purpose of the enemy, he was not too keen on staying here…

On the way back, he called on Qin Chuan and the others, asking them to gather everyone and report to his office.

Soon after, by the time Colin returned to the city and entered his office,

A group of “Experience Babies,” still unaware of the situation, brightened up, thinking that a new mission was about to begin…
