Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

Often, a simple necromancer spell can kill or render a lizardman incapable of fighting.

In addition, his level 4 Black Iron skill and the waves of psionic energy emanating from him indicate that he has top-notch equipment, yet he still seems to be handling things with ease...

Before entering the fourth floor, Zhao Hao secretly summoned Xiao Ruan and left her on the third floor.

It would be such a waste to leave so many extraordinary creatures here to explode.

How about letting Xiaoruan have a buffet?

As for how much it can eat, that depends on its appetite!

Chapter 254 Endermen Harvesting Leeks

The elevator is completely malfunctioning; it appears to have been destroyed through physical means.

Finally, the Gamma team blew up the elevator, and then each used their unique skills to climb down. It was nearly twenty meters high, which was no easy feat.

Moreover, there were Greys and Lizardmen lying in ambush below, all of whom were determined to delay the enemy even if it meant certain death.

It took Zhao Hao and his team seven or eight minutes to finally eliminate them.

At this time, the Greys and Lizardmen on the fourth floor were retreating to the deeper fifth floor, and more than half of them had already left.

The western base is heavily fortified, with various tunnels and large psionic facilities that even interfere with the terrain, so much so that the military's attacking forces can only resort to indiscriminate bombardment in a state of impotent rage, making it virtually impossible for them to break through.

However, its internal defenses were not very strong, and it probably did not expect to be infiltrated on such a large scale.

First, the troops were drawn into the tunnel and exchanged fire with the military. Then, they were drawn to the first floor to snipe infiltrators, and as a result, the second floor also exploded.

Because the Gamma Squad was too fast, the Greys and Lizardmen didn't have time to set up positions. The breach was too quick for them to defend against.

This place was originally an experimental base, not a military base, so it was destined to fall when it was attacked by the authorities on a large scale.

The Greys are cunning and naturally made preparations. They have a retreat plan; if things really get too difficult, they will retreat en masse.

The problem is that the Greys seemed completely unprepared for the internal collapse, and that it happened so quickly that they were caught off guard.

They are now frantically fleeing to the lower levels.

A disagreement arose when the Gamma Squad determined the enemy's movements.

Since the Greys chose to retreat to the bottom, they must have a way to escape. It's even quite possible they retreated into the Otherworld. The authorities have no way to stop them from escaping from the Otherworld.

So many extraordinary creatures were captured back then, there must be a secret realm leading to the inner world nearby, and it's very likely underground. Otherwise, why dig so deep?

At this point, the Gamma team members were discussing whether to continue exploring deeper.

If we don't pursue them now, even if the bombs completely destroy this base, most of the Greys and Lizardmen will escape. They will definitely cause trouble elsewhere, and who knows how many more people will be harmed.

However, continuing this pursuit will undoubtedly increase the danger exponentially. It's necessary for everyone to discuss this.

The Witcher, Old Saipan, was determined to pursue them. He had seen hundreds of humans being experimented on, and there were many more he hadn't seen! He wouldn't be satisfied until he had wiped out all these scum.

Apache agreed to pursue them, because many local Native Americans had gone missing, all because of these gray scum. He wanted revenge.

Indian Sheriff Braystar naturally supported his own people, and Apache actually held him in high esteem. He was a spirit shaman, a position of great prestige within any Indian tribe. However, with power comes obligation, and avenging one's people was an inescapable duty.

J wanted to give chase, but K felt it was unnecessary to complicate matters. The Gamma Squad of ten could only do so much; there were at least two or three thousand Greys who had escaped. How many could they possibly kill?

Farina said it was fine, but the taciturn, kidney-deficient young necromancer Sandru wanted to pursue her.

He wanted to kill as many as he could. Necromancers could draw spiritual energy from death, especially from deaths they created themselves. This was a rare opportunity to gain experience.

The DJ said that his psychic energy was completely depleted, and he had no more left.

Zhao Hao didn't seem to care, but verbally he told everyone to stay calm and not to be reckless, prioritizing the mission. In his heart, however, he was thinking of sending out his shadow clone to cause trouble and reap the rewards!

Finally, Marina made the decision to pursue the enemy for another layer to see how things went. If it didn't work, they would abandon the pursuit and plant bombs, which would also ensure the bombs' effectiveness.

Everyone agreed and continued the pursuit.

After breaking through several ambushes covering their rear, the Gamma Squad reached the fifth level.

The fifth floor is much smaller, about the size of a standard football field.

Once they arrived, everyone finally understood the true purpose of this base—it was conducting experiments to try and transform humans into Greys or Reptilians!

They seem to have achieved some success in the project of converting reptilians. Many have already been converted to the halfway point, or have acquired human features in certain parts.

However, the experiment to transform them into gray people did not seem to go smoothly, and there were still many gray-skinned human corpses that had not been disposed of!

This situation was completely unexpected. Marilena immediately took out her communicator and contacted the camp command center a hundred years ago.

This communicator can break through numerous barriers and contact other places through the psionic sea, but it consumes a huge amount of energy and has a limited call duration.

Marina immediately contacted command, explaining the current situation and emphasizing that the human-to-lizardman conversion project had likely succeeded to some extent. She inquired about the next steps…

The Greys are extraterrestrial beings, not originally from this planet. How they came to be is now unknown, but they have been on Earth for at least ten years.

However, it seems that environmental changes have caused problems with their reproduction. With the population decreasing, they have chosen to try to transform the life on this planet into Greys, or even to make the Greys "evolve"!

The lizardmen, on the other hand, are their partners or mercenaries.

The Gamma Squad relayed the current situation back to command, but command did not issue any instructions for the time being.

Are you going to plant bombs directly to destroy them all, or continue deeper, or is there some other plan? Give us a straight answer! The communication time is almost up!

In reality, disagreements arose at the ground military command headquarters.

Both branch directors of the Secret Service demanded immediate destruction, but military representatives and the Federal Intelligence Service's research institutions advocated against rash actions and suggested further occupation.

They were attracted to the other party's technology.

The military and intelligence agencies want both biotechnology and psionic technology.

Seeing that the base is now under attack from both inside and outside and the Greys are about to escape, wouldn't this base be theirs?

If we could obtain the Greys' superhuman bio-modification technology and psionic equipment, then the military's super soldiers and the intelligence agency's psionic technology could both make breakthroughs.

They're just daydreaming all day and acting like they're the main characters, aren't they?

Colt and the Southern Division chief explicitly ordered their men to plant the bombs and then evacuate. What the military was up to was none of their concern.

Zhao Hao, Marina, and the DJ all made it clear that they wanted to leave.

The Indian sheriff and Sandru's reactions were somewhat strange. The remaining Witcher, Apache, and others wanted to continue hunting down the Greys, and if all else failed, they would wait for reinforcements from the military.

Thus, the Gamma Squad parted ways.

Zhao Hao certainly wouldn't just leave like that, but it was still necessary for his main body to depart. What if something unexpected happened? He couldn't take that risk.

Zhao Hao secretly left behind a shadow clone, which transformed into the appearance of an Enderman and began to move around on the fifth floor.

The paper shikigami on the first floor have already collected some valuable items such as equipment and corpses from the Greys.

Xiao Ruan had been eating on the third floor for quite some time, while Zhao Hao's Enderman clone opened a dream portal on the fifth floor, taking whatever it saw. Time was of the essence, and there was no time to distinguish between them.

By the time Zhao Hao and his group fought their way back to the first floor, the military personnel had also stormed in.

Although some entrances have not yet been completely breached, the fall of the first floor is inevitable.

Taking the opportunity, Zhao Hao put away the paper shikigami and the other things he had picked up, and then left.

After Zhao Hao and his group left the Dow West base, he focused most of his attention on the Enderman clones.

Zhao Hao himself wouldn't dare take the risk; in his mind, such large bases all had self-destruct mechanisms. He didn't want to get himself trapped inside.

But while they lack the courage to take risks, they certainly have the courage to use their clones to harvest leeks—in fact, a great deal of courage at that.

The Greys are extraterrestrial life forms after all. They must have some skills to come here from other planets or worlds. Whether it's technology or psionic energy, they must have something amazing about them.

Zhao Hao didn't believe that the Greys didn't have some hidden trump cards in their deeper base.

Sensing that the little soft creature was still eating, it was swallowing the device along with the extraordinary creature inside, and then quickly digesting it.

It grows bigger the more it eats, digests faster the more it eats, and the faster it digests, the more it eats... Now, more than half of the extraordinary experimental subjects on the third floor have been eaten. Zhao Hao thinks that Little Soft might be the biggest winner in this round! But if it keeps eating, it'll run into the military.

The Enderman floated up in the fifth level and followed the unsuspecting old Witcher and others into the sixth level.

According to the military, the Dowsey base has six levels and is now more than 100 meters underground!

Sure enough, a large number of Greys and Lizardmen were still gathered here, and they hadn't had time to pull them away.

To the old witchers' surprise, the sixth level was not the end; there was a seventh level below. The entrance to that seventh level had an extremely strong psionic energy reaction; it was not only the entrance to the seventh level, but also a secret realm leading to the inner world.

These alien bastards really are trying to escape through the Otherworld!

"Hold them back! They must pay the price!" the old witcher roared, his neck red, as he hurled a glass jar from fifty or sixty meters away.

During the period when psionic energy was dormant, the methods of demon hunting and exorcism relied entirely on natural materials and physical means.

Back then, all Old Saipan could rely on was his axe, as well as various alchemical potions and oils! Although psionic energy had fallen into dormancy, some basic reactions were still present, making it one of the few things he could still utilize.

Over forty years of experience in preparing demon-hunting potions has made him a master potion maker, specializing in concocting poisons, targeted agents, and alchemical bombs.

He had already prepared several canisters of temporary large-scale alchemical poison gas from the Greys' tissue fluids and brain matter that he had collected along the way.

The glass jar was flung more than sixty meters away, shattered against the metal wall, and then instantly expanded, bursting out a cloud of gray smoke.

Among the gray beings, only a minority wore full combat suits and hoods. Many gray beings inadvertently inhaled the gray smoke and immediately began to struggle, clutching their own necks. Even those whose skin was covered in it started coughing violently.

Even if this potent toxic agent cannot kill these hundreds of Grey Men in a short time, it will cause them to collapse and die slowly without timely treatment.

The necromancer Sandru was no pushover either. When they were on the fifth floor, Zhao Hao sensed an unusual surge of spiritual energy emanating from him, as if he was preparing to unleash a powerful attack.

At this moment, he took out a withered hand that emitted a wave of energy and chanted a spell. The psionic energy shattered the hand and then transformed it into a wave of psionic energy that enveloped the gray men and lizardmen behind the fortifications.

There were originally nearly a thousand hooded Grey warriors and lizardmen who were unaffected by the Grey poisonous smoke, but they now face even more brutal torture.

"Ruin the internal organs!"

The spiritual energy that had been prepared for a long time transformed into invisible hands, kneading and squeezing within the bodies of those affected.

The Greys, after all, still had psionic combat suits, and only about one-tenth of the Greys whose suits lacked sufficient psionic reserves were breached by necromancy. The Lizardmen, however, fared much worse. Aside from a few high-level Lizardman captains and commanders equipped with psionic gear who managed to block the entrails attack, the rest were utterly ravaged.

Their bellies began to churn, as if a hand was stirring wildly inside them.

The patients screamed in agony, rolling on the ground. Some suffered internal organ damage and bleeding, while others vomited blood and died suddenly!

The necromancer Sandru's spell killed at least fifty or sixty lizardmen, seriously injured one or two hundred, killed seventy or eighty greymen, and seriously injured thirty or forty.

That's not all. Necromancer magic is insidious and vicious, often with one thing leading to another, and it is best suited to dealing with large-scale enemies that lack strong fighters.

Yellow-green cysts began to grow on the bodies of the dead and injured lizardmen and greymen. These cysts swelled up as quickly as tumors, reaching the size of a fist in just half a minute. Seven or eight cysts could grow on a single corpse!

"Corrosive Cyst!" It is particularly effective against enemies with flesh and blood, and it is highly contagious, capable of exploding and spreading to others.

However, although the Greys and Lizardmen were caught off guard, they were not without the ability to fight back.
