World-saving Plan: The Only Savior
Chapter 371 - 255 Snail and Trap

Chapter 371: Chapter 255 Snail and Trap

In the safehouse, what Mr. Wen told the two Azure Dragon Soldiers was temporarily unknown to the others.

The damaged lines prevented information transmission, rendering intelligence ineffective.

Over there, in the containment hall, the remaining two warriors of the Ninth Squad were still furiously firing at the snail.

They had never seen such a gigantic snail, measuring up to 1.6 meters, before.

Out of caution, they dared not approach rashly, resorting to using various weapons to attack from a distance, hoping to have some effect.

However, it was a cause for despair that no matter what they tried, they couldn’t break through the snail’s shell—bullets didn’t leave even a scratch upon impact.

"Command center, command center, we’ve tried all weapons including armor-piercing rounds and hand grenades, but we still can’t break through its defense, requesting further instructions."

On the other side of the communicator, Hu Hu also furrowed his brows upon seeing this scene.

He didn’t expect the situation to escalate like this, with an invulnerable snail appearing in front of the last door—how were they supposed to fight this?

"Stop your attack for now, throw the explosives in front of it, and detonate them once it sticks its head out!"

Before figuring out the monster’s abilities, Hu Hu dared not recklessly send warriors to charge in, so he could only offer a compromise strategy.

One of the young warriors hesitated, then took a few steps forward before throwing an explosive intended for demolition far ahead; it landed right in front of the snail.

Retreating quickly and then raising his gun to keep watch, the two warriors began to wait, wanting to see if the snail would extend its head.

True enough, not long after they ceased their attacks, the front end of the snail’s shell suddenly opened a gap, and a brown head slowly protruded.

"Now’s the time!"

One of the squad members abruptly pressed the detonation button, and the blast of the hand grenade immediately erupted, covering a small area in front of them.

The specialized explosive might seem small in its range, but its power is considerable, capable of destroying many robust defenses.

Then, as the light of the fire faded, everyone saw the snail’s head was completely gone—it was clear the explosion had been effective.

However, before they could rejoice, they saw the battered body under the snail’s shell undulate, and a new head emerged, its beady eyes fixed on the two men, sending a chill through them.

"Dada dada dada dada!"

Almost instinctively, they pulled the trigger again, and the snail swiftly retracted in response.

"Ah! It’s useless! Why are these people so stupid! Just go around it, don’t mind it! Just blow up the door!"

Mr. Wen, watching the scene on the monitor, felt very frustrated and helpless, wishing he could rush out right away to quickly relay the message to them.

In the containment hall, the two squad members were currently hiding behind a barricade, using the lights on their helmets to watch the giant silhouette not far away, eager to rush over but not daring to act rashly.

"Wait, snail... snail... it’s coming back to me, isn’t this the one Old Li’s team brought over from Yadan City last time? Let me call and find out what the deal is!"

Hu Hu suddenly remembered the origin of the snail and immediately took out his phone to make a call.

After ten seconds, the call ended, and his efficiency was incredibly swift—he had already figured out the cause of the problem.

"Ninth Squad, be advised, this monster has no attack ability, just ignore it and continue with the mission!"

Upon hearing these words, the two warriors were momentarily stunned.

This answer had clearly exceeded their expectations; had they been wasting their time fighting all this while?

However, even though they knew now that the monster had no attack ability, the two still felt uneasy as they approached it.

As they approached nervously, the snail’s reaction was even bigger than theirs, immediately retreating back into its shell.

"Huh, it doesn’t seem to be controlled by the vines? Then why is it here? Could it be a coincidence?"

Mr. Wen, watching from behind the monitor, immediately had his suspicions.

The two warriors, unaware of his thoughts, finally stepped forward quickly and placed a breaching charge on the door behind the snail, beginning their entry into Containment Room 2.

The snail was very close to the door; its massive shell was even touching the door. When the bomb exploded, it also hit the snail, but to no effect.

A loud explosion sounded yet again, and a large hole instantly appeared in the door.

At the same time, another squad that had come to provide backup reached the battlefield. They split off two people to take the injured to the rooftop, while the rest joined Ninth Squad in entering Containment Room 2.

However, the scene that met their eyes next left everyone watching the monitor speechless.

"What’s going on! Where is Number 2!!"

Hu Hu suddenly stood up, his eyes glued to the screen, his face full of astonishment.

In front of the four Azure Dragon Soldiers, there was a room covered in thorns, but the target of their mission—the plant heart—was nowhere to be seen.

"Damn it! This creature has secretly moved its core elsewhere!"

Hu Hu slammed his hand on the table.

He had seen Number 2 before; in fact, he was the one who had captured it and confined it here.

Now, if they couldn’t find and destroy the plant, it might become even more difficult to deal with it in the future.

Elsewhere, Mr. Wen, although unable to see the inside of Containment Room 2 due to some damaged monitors, had already guessed the outcome.

Seeing that they had not returned for quite some time, he knew that what he had feared had happened.

Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed on the monitor screen that small buds had appeared in the flowers of those plants, and without his knowing when, small capsules had formed.

It was at this moment that all such capsules inside the Three Institutes burst open, releasing a puff of pale yellow smoke.

Almost instantly, the entire building was flooded with it.

All of the Azure Dragon Soldiers who had entered earlier fell to the ground without any struggle and immediately lapsed into unconsciousness.

"It’s an ambush! An ambush! I knew it! It was deliberately luring us in to catch us all in one fell swoop!"

Mr. Wen instantly began hopping up and down in frustration, while the two warriors beside him were visibly shocked, utterly stunned by everything that had just happened.
