The Ultimate Evolution

Those who can enter the nightmare realm were all special in some way .

And those who could persevere to this stage were the elite, the cream of the crop . The elite would always be arrogant .

Even Mr . Darkness" face had turned ugly . He wanted to say a few words in protest, but after he had seen the properties of the six bottles of mixes Sheyan put on the table, he shut his mouth gloomily .

That"s because, although Sheyan"s words were overbearing, he had no intention of insulting Five Wheels . Most importantly, the other party could afford to just give away these powerful mixes, which could only mean one thing -- the strength of this team called Party Ace was much more formidable than they had imagined!

Everything in the world was linked to strength, be it the relations.h.i.+p between individuals, the contest between groups, or the diplomacy between countries . Remember China was at its weakest in the late Qing Dynasty? The situation got so miserable that the Imperial Gardens were burned down, and Hong Kong as well as Macau were forced to be leased out to other powers . The unequal treaties were only abolished after China became stronger .

That was far from the only example of unequal treaties between two countries . As long as the gap between the strength of the countries was big enough, the weaker side would have to bear with naked humiliation . The same principle applied between teams .

Besides, Sheyan was only arrogant; he was not insulting .

It was precisely because of this mentality and reasoning that members of Five Wheels had to let their anger dissipate . There was even a hint of fear and respect for the might that Sheyan had shown .

Of course, the reason Sheyan took such a hard stance was to give them a warning . After all, there were previous conflicts between them, so it was hard to guarantee that none of them had any nefarious intentions . The six bottles of mixes were both to sweeten the deal and to intimidate .

Watching Mr . Darkness silently collect the six bottles of mixes, Sheyan knew that his purpose was achieved . His att.i.tude was no longer as forceful as before .

"You guys should discuss among yourselves to decide who will take the Awakening advancement mission first . According to my calculation, we have about six to eight hours to do it," said Sheyan .

After a round of discussion, Hill was selected to complete the mission first while Corinna"s mission was put on hold until Sheyan"s mission was completed .

Corinna was visibly quite dissatisfied with this decision . This was also the result that Sheyan desired . If there were no cracks in Five Wheels, Sheyan would have been really wary of them . A unified Five Wheels could easily betray him and foil his plan .

It was always easier to destroy than to build .

Sheyan initially thought the secret research inst.i.tute of the U . S . Military must be extremely well guarded . The gates must be shut tight with surveillance cameras everywhere . There must be well-trained and well-equipped soldiers stationed at the gates too, and anyone who wished to enter would have to pa.s.s a strict inspection .

But the people from Five Wheels instead took Party Ace to a four storey shopping mall . Each of the four floors had an extremely large area . The whole shopping mall could accommodate tens of thousands of shoppers at any one time . There were people as far as the eyes could see .

Mr . Darkness read the doubts in Sheyan"s eyes, so he hastily explained, "This is the US military"s smoke screen . The shopping mall is real, but it"s built on top of the military base . Their locations overlap on the map, but the entrances to the two sites are separate from each other . The reason we"re in the shopping mall is because it"s easier to get in from here . "

The group took an elevator and, following the lead of Mr . Darkness, went straight to the office of the shopping mall"s manager on the top floor .

The manager had obviously been put under their control for quite a while now . When he saw Mr . Darkness, he bowed obediently and asked with eyes blank, "Do you have an order for me, master?"

"Take us to the warehouse in the bas.e.m.e.nt right away," instructed Mr . Darkness coldly .

Then, he turned to Sheyan and explained, "The warehouse in the bas.e.m.e.nt that we"re now heading to is actually separated from the first floor of the military base by just a few meters of soil . We will save a lot of time and effort if we go down from there . "

Sheyan did not have any objection after hearing that . Mr . Darkness was obviously an experienced man . As soon as something that may cause suspicion between them cropped up, he would immediately give an explanation to dispel any doubt in Party Ace"s minds .

When the group reached the warehouse, they went directly to the place where the grain products were kept . There were no surveillance cameras here, and those packs of grain products could be stacked up to block the view of others . This was thus the best place for their operation .

Boji stepped forward . After she muttered a few indistinguishable words, a crack slowly appeared on the concrete floor in front of her . Then, a large amount of dense black smoke escaped from the crack as if the crack was a chimney . The place immediately turned dim even under the illumination of the bright energy-saving lamps .

Next, two withered, zombie-like arms extended out from the crack . They were trembling violently . Most of the black smoke poured into them, making them strong and muscular .

Then, the two arms began to dig frantically . Even when they encountered hard obstacles like stones, the arms would easily dig through them like they were tofu! What was more peculiar was the fact that the soil excavated by these two arms seemed to have been thrown into a different dimension, because no small piles of soil had acc.u.mulated around them at all .

Before long, a large hole leading to the pa.s.sage below appeared in front of them . They jumped down one after the other . They found that this pa.s.sage below them was a clean and tidy stainless steel pa.s.sage which had a spotless plastic floor . Lights would flash from time to time .

Sheyan and the rest waited at the spot for a while before another person with dull eyes, this time a soldier wearing full military uniform, came over to them .

He said to Corinna, "You"re here, master . "

Corinna was not too happy, but she still nodded stiffly . Her expression and eyes remained indifferent .
He said to Corinna, "You"re here, master . "

Corinna was not too happy, but she still nodded stiffly . Her expression and eyes remained indifferent .

The soldier said rigidly, "Security has been tight lately, so I can only take you to the fourth underground floor . From there, you"ll have to take care of things yourself . The big guys are patrolling 24 hours a day now, so there aren"t anymore loopholes to take advantage of . "

Corinna nodded . The group then moved towards their destination . After confirming that everyone had arrived, Corinna waved her hand at the soldier . The soldier immediately showed a painful and confused expression on his face, then collapsed onto the ground while coughing loudly . In the end, he fell unconscious . It seemed that Corinna"s ability was very harmful to the host . The soldier would probably have to rest for tens of days, perhaps even months, before he could report back for duty .

Due to the base being fully automated, there were actually not that many armed forces in this military base, and there were only less than ten taser guns in total . In addition, they had already entered the core area with the help of the insider, so they did not meet with too fierce a resistance . They moved forward with an unstoppable momentum .

They finally came to a large hall that was so big that it could fit a soccer field inside it . There were actually some tea and pastries inside the hall . At that moment, a hidden door at the side opened . Out came a tall, brutal-looking robot!

The robot had red eyes and was at least four meters tall, which made it look really fierce! It had a black metallic l.u.s.ter, like it was made of steel that was not painted over, giving it a primitive and barbaric feel! The location of the c.o.c.kpit was not visible from the outside . From the way it moved, they could tell that it would not be as slow in battle as its size would suggest .

Mr . Darkness said with a grave expression next to Sheyan, "Our powers are greatly suppressed in this place by the Shroud of Jesus, so our party can"t show our full strength at all . Every time this robot appears, it will randomly acquire two types of close combat abilities and a type of long-range ability, so I dare not make any deductions on its abilities to avoid misleading you . Another thing to keep in mind is, because this robot is still in the debugging stage, a prolonged period of battle will likely to lead to its body disintegrating, which will trigger a catastrophe!"Sheyans hardball att.i.tude undoubtedly made the people from Five Wheels very uncomfortable, and very angry .
