Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

Countless data streams began to flow on the black-and-white display screen, followed by runes appearing one by one. After about a minute, when all six runes had appeared, a soft "ding" sounded, and everyone felt the psionic energy on the door disappear.

As K put the gadget away, he said, "The psionic hacking device's effect only lasts for 80 seconds. Let's hurry."

The Indian sheriff used the "Bear's Strength" technique, his muscles bulging, and he pried open the ten-centimeter-thick metal door by gripping the crack.

After everyone entered, the witch Farina waved her hand again, and magic surged forth to restore the gate.

Then, not long after, the door began to show signs of psionic energy again.

Once inside the tunnel, Zhao Hao's Destiny Card System suddenly activated.

"Check-in location discovered: Extraterrestrial Life Base - Dowsy Transformation Experiment Base, check-in is now available..."

So, to the astonishment of his teammates, Zhao Hao struck a pose reminiscent of Ultraman's dynamic beam.

"Successfully checked in at the Alien Life Base - Dowsy Transformation Experiment Base, and obtained the item card [A Jar of Minion Culture Medium]".

A jar of Minion culture medium

Bronze 3-star item card

Use: Consume large amounts of psionic energy in multiple batches to evolve the Minion native cells in the culture tank into a full one hundred Minions to serve you.

Inventions and Creations: The Minions can develop new inventions by absorbing new knowledge.

Immortality: As psionic creations, the Minions have many lives that yearn for immortality.

Boss: Cough, the Minions' purpose in life is to assist the boss, but those with weak constitutions should not approach.

Luck: Only those with truly great luck can possess Minions, and the Minions will bless their leader's luck.

Note: Even Napoleon couldn't hold on, do you want to try?

Zhao Hao's first reaction was, "What about Gou Quan? I've found you a job taking care of kids!"

"What are you doing..." The Indian sheriff, seeing Zhao Hao's touching posture, couldn't help but ask.

The witch Farina made the same gesture as Zhao Hao, and then nodded in agreement with him.

Everyone: You've gained the approval of your mentally ill teammates!

Zhao Hao coughed lightly, "Well... actually, this is my detection method. Didn't I tell you I'm a super-sensor? I'm sensing psionic energy!"

Everyone: "Oh~"

Zhao Hao just didn't expect that one lie would require countless more to cover it up.

After that, every time Zhao Hao sensed spiritual energy, everyone would stare at him intently until he made the "Dynamic Light Wave" gesture, and only then would they withdraw their gazes with satisfaction.

Zhao Hao: What a terrible thing to do!

The military had already conducted some reconnaissance through probing attacks. Just as that mustachioed staff officer said, the tunnels here are interconnected and very long.

You will often encounter inspection agencies or access control systems.

However, Zhao Hao had scouting and stealth abilities, and his teammates would open doors, so he wasn't really threatened.

By this time, the superhuman team should have already entered the tunnels of the underground base.

Moreover, Zhao Hao also knew from the faint sounds of gunfire that the general offensive outside had begun to draw their attention away from them.

The Gamma Squad began to join the infiltration.

After traveling for about twenty minutes, they began to approach the core area.

Here, houses of various sizes have already begun to be carved out of the underground rock.

At first, the outer perimeter was a warehouse, then an office. By the time Zhao Hao and his team infiltrated the laboratory, they were already able to encounter the aliens.

The Lizard People are an unknown branch whose scales display a brilliant blue hue, and they are extremely wary.

The Gamma Squad even had to assassinate one in order to continue their infiltration.

On the other hand, there are those gray people who are 1.45 meters tall, with an unusually large oval head, huge eyes among their facial features, and only four eyes (nose and ears), and whose bodies are completely gray without any wrinkles or hair. They are very careless.

Along the way, Zhao Hao and his group encountered four or five people, all of whom were as relaxed as if they were taking a walk.

Moreover, they witnessed four or five Greys wearing strange psionic suits that looked like spacesuits, carrying psionic guns of various sizes, and even wearing transparent bubble-like headgear, flying rapidly in one direction on a small flying vehicle that resembled a hovercraft.

It seems the positive attraction of the surface is working. The population here is starting to thin out.

After a brief discussion, they decided to visit the laboratory.

The laboratory door was even more difficult to open; it took a full three minutes to unlock it.

Upon entering, you're greeted by a futuristic, metallic interior design; the ceiling, floor, and walls are all metal. The offices and lab benches are also made of metal. Various strange, unidentifiable instruments and equipment are neatly arranged.

As they walked further in, they saw rows of jars.

Inside were naked humans wearing oxygen masks, floating unconsciously in a pale green liquid!

Some humans have scales on their bodies, some have fish gills, some are covered in black hair, some have cow horns, some have fish tails pieced together from their lower bodies, and some even have four or five different animals pieced together on their bodies...

"Damn it! What have those alien bastards done?"

Saipan, the redneck witcher, had a fiery temper. He walked straight out of Zhao Hao's Illusionary Mind Barrier and almost punched the cultivation tank.

Marilena reacted quickly, pulling him inside, and then they heard a series of soft sounds.

Turning around the door, what walked in was... a monster with a man's head but the body of a bulldog.

However, Zhao Hao noticed something like thumbtacks on his neck, something that was also present on many of the assembled people in those culture tanks.

"Oh, Susan, I think I just heard someone talking! It was in English! Was I hallucinating?"

Then, around the corner, a head floated over... a woman's head, blonde and blue-eyed, but enveloped in rings of metallic psionic devices. She had been transformed into a psionic life form, existing in the form of a human head.

"Jimmy, don't be like this. You have to be strong, hang in there. Isn't there a battle going on outside? Maybe they're coming to rescue us?"

Jimmy, with a human head and a dog's body, looked down at his own form. "Susan, do we really think people will rescue us looking like humans? We're more likely to get shot, right? Even if we are rescued, what's the point of living like this?"

At this moment, everyone inside the barrier understood that these two "monsters" were actually modified by humans!

Marina and Zhao Hao exchanged a glance. Zhao Hao nodded and quietly erected an even larger barrier, enveloping the entire laboratory.

Then Marina stepped out of the Illusionary Heart Barrier: "I am the captain of the Gamma Squad. May I ask your names...?"

Chapter 252 A Sliding Tackle

"Ahhhhh!" the woman screamed.

"Awoooooo~~~" The man with a human head and a dog's body let out a series of miserable dog-like howls.

Well, it's quite startling that a woman suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Especially for these two people. Neither they nor they were ready to see normal people like them again, either physically or mentally.

Zhao Hao noticed that there was a small ring of water under the man's body.

The man clearly realized it himself, and his face darkened as he said, "This body... I mean, this French Bulldog's body, I can't control it very well, especially its instincts..."

Marina reassured them, "Don't worry, we mean no harm. We were sent by the federal government to rescue you... Could you tell us what happened?"

The man and woman looked at each other and began to tell their stories.

The man, named Jimmy, was only 26 years old when he was hijacked by a small Grey flying vehicle during a road trip to New Mexico.

When he woke up, he was already submerged in a jar. He was then subjected to numerous experiments, and finally his head was attached to the body of a French Bulldog. This has been going on for almost two years now.

The woman named Susan arrived even earlier than him. She was 31 years old and was part of a small group of eight who were captured and brought here together.

After numerous and lengthy experiments, everyone else died. Susan and one other person were transformed into the psionic heads we see today. However, the other friend couldn't accept his current state and quickly took the opportunity to commit suicide by banging his head against a wall.

Ever since her friend's suicide, the Grey has placed a command in her mind—no suicide.

Susan said, "I've been like this for more than three years now. As for when I was captured, I remember it was in the spring of '74..."

It's been 5 years!

Over the past five years, hundreds of people have been silently abducted to this base for experiments. The vast majority of them have been turned into various specimens in jars, but many others have been altered in various ways.

Experimental subjects like Susan Jimmy, who can retain some degree of self-awareness, are few and far between, almost one in a hundred, and most of them die shortly afterward.

Susan was very talented in languages. She had mastered three languages ​​before being captured, and during the five years she spent in the base, she had a basic grasp of the Greys' language.

Susan is basically the longest-serving test subject here. She has heard a lot of information from her own experience, such as the more important "transformation" experiments in the deeper underground base.

Susan: "In the last six months, those Grey researchers have been arguing a lot, and there are always words like 'conversion' and 'continuation' in their arguments. And in the past, the animals they used most for experiments were various kinds of animals, especially large-scale farmed livestock. But in the last six months, their experiments seem to have become unusually frequent, and they often capture humans, and the numbers are getting bigger and bigger. As far as I know, they've captured more than forty people this month alone..."

Susan also revealed a crucial piece of information: the Greys' possible beliefs.

Susan: "They often make a prayer-like gesture; the pronunciation of that word should be 'Yinghuo'..."

If I'm not mistaken, this "Fire Calamity" should be the god or creator of the Greys, an unknown being, perhaps a mysterious god.

In the end, Susan and Jimmy were locked in that laboratory waiting for Zhao Hao and the others to return.

Letting them go is not an option; it's risky. Furthermore, we should give them this time to carefully consider their choices.

Returning to human society is impossible. If they leave this place, they will only be able to stay in some laboratory until they die.

……

According to military intelligence, Dulce Air Base has six levels, and the bombs must be placed on at least the third level or lower.

Now we've heard there are many humans who have been abducted, so we must assess the situation and try our best to save them; we can't just bomb them all at once.

According to the information Susan provided, the defenses in the underground base became increasingly tight the deeper one went. Susan had only been to the second underground level, while Jimmy had only been active in a small part of that level.

They were actually being kept as some kind of pet by the Greys.

To treat people as playthings is a deep-seated and irreconcilable hatred!

"Damn it! I'm going to blow those damn gray dwarves' asses to smithereens! I'm going to chop off their ugly, shit-like heads with my axe!" The old witcher Saipan's face was red with anger, and he gritted his teeth.

This man appears to be a humanist, and it was this belief that sustained him during the years of psychic dormancy as he persisted in hunting demons and protecting the peace of the surface world. He especially could not tolerate such treatment of humanity.

Such people are not very friendly to other superhuman races, but they are a blessing to humanity.

The Dow West base is shaped like an inverted pyramid underground, with the first level being the largest, containing nearly twenty entrances and exits, and a network of tunnels covering 800 square kilometers. Therefore, there are also numerous entrances to the second underground level.

The Gamma Squad could only choose the nearest option, which was also one of the few second-floor entrances that Susan and Jimmy knew about.

However, once they arrived here, they realized that silent infiltration was impossible.

There were nearly twenty grey people guarding the place, and various unfamiliar psionic instruments were erected there.

The grey beings were fully armed, wearing hoods, combat suits, psionic guns, and small individual hovercraft. Their psionic instruments constantly emitted psionic fluctuations, clearly operating 24/7.
