Azur Lane Mobile Front.

"I'm leaving this place to you."

With a worried look in their eyes, Enterprise and the others took to the sky once again.

"Please note that based on the pollution readings you just received, you will also be affected by the pollution if you remain in the contaminated environment for more than three hours."

"Moreover, this effect may be irreversible."

A communication message appeared in the communication device, following in the footsteps of the group.

This made the expressions on their faces even more serious.

"We'll increase our altitude and cut directly through from the air!"

To prevent a repeat of the previous situation, even knowing that there might be other companions in the area who needed rescue.

However, the company and its partners had no choice but to change their route.

After saying that, the company took the lead and sped into the sky.

"Hey, wait for me, Enterprise!"

...

Having changed their route, the group no longer encountered the same obstacles they had faced in Atlanta.

Using the speed of their machines, the group quickly arrived at the research institute where Lexington had been.

Is this the place?

From the air, the already small research institute looks even smaller.

"Based on the coordinates provided above, this is definitely the place!"

Because whether Lexington was brought here or rescued by Saratoga, she was in a state of unconsciousness.

Therefore, even as the person involved, she actually had no impression of this place.

"Let's hurry!"

The company pursed its lips and frowned slightly.

Although choosing to rush in from a high altitude slowed down the rate at which they were contaminated.

However, this black fog did have some effect on her.

It's a feeling that can't be described in words.

At this moment, a cacophony of noises never before heard is constantly echoing in the minds of the company.

Moreover, this situation intensifies as time goes on and as they venture deeper into their destination.

"Go straight in from above!"

It was probably because of the initial shockwave from the pollution outbreak that a huge hole was blasted in the roof of the research institute.

"Wait, someone's there!"

Suddenly, the people who were descending abruptly stopped the car.

Gunshots suddenly erupted from inside and around the research institute.

Moreover, judging from the frequency of the sound, there were quite a few people involved.

"Hey, look, what's that?"

The group rose higher, dodging the sudden barrage of bullets.

Bumblebee pointed to the side.

In the open space near the research institute, there were several unrecognizable remains.

However, judging from the remaining parts, it should be a helicopter.

"Helicopter?"

Why are there helicopters here?

The group continued to climb higher.

Although ordinary bullets pose no threat to the group at present.

However, this does not mean that the group would be shot at for no reason.

Even if the paint is scratched, it still hurts, doesn't it?

"And there's more than one..."

Lexington then gestured for Enterprise and Bumblebee to look in other directions.

In those directions, the wreckage of several helicopters can be vaguely seen.

"Damn it, it's happening again!"

Before the group could even begin to ponder why there was so much helicopter wreckage around the research institute, gunfire erupted once more.

Then, to the astonishment of the three, a human dressed in a black combat suit climbed up to the roof of the research institute using only his bare hands.

Then, the person jumped with all his might, leaping nearly two meters into the air.

Is this even human?

"Hey, Enterprise, have humans evolved to this extent already?"

Although the other party wouldn't touch him, this thing, which was clearly a strange species, was really creepy to look at.

Thanks to the markings on the man, the company and its members finally figured out his identity.

"Units directly under headquarters?"

Normally, such teams would never be found in research facilities like research institutes.

Unless, of course, headquarters has given them a special order to come and carry out the mission.

"They tried to transfer 'Material X' before, and then failed?"

In this way, the helicopter wreckage around the research institute can be clearly explained.

"This is troublesome..."

Once companies understand the current situation, they immediately realize how difficult it is.

According to the information obtained before arriving, the room where Material X is located has various protective measures.

Although these protective measures did not stop the spread of pollution, they are now hindering the companies' progress.

To break through these protective measures, the companies will inevitably have to launch two relatively large attacks.

However, there are still a considerable number of humans living in this area of ​​the research institute.

Moreover, their minds are already fried; they will absolutely not allow the company to break in at will.

The situation where the opposing team was full of hostages, yet they could easily kill them with a simple wipe of their weapons, gave the company and its staff a real headache.

"Sister Enterprise, how about I try to lure them all away?"

"That's the only way."

The company nodded, indicating that Bumblebee should do as she wished.

"okay!"

With a wide grin spreading across its face, Bumblebee immediately changed direction and charged towards the research institute.

"First, let me make a big splash!"

As he spoke, the shoulder armor on Bumblebee's body, which was much wider than that of other mechs, slowly opened.

"Since we want everyone inside to get out, then naturally we should open more entrances, right?"

The next moment, the light from the Mega Particle Cannon swept across the outer wall of the research institute.

Chapter 499: The Second Outbreak

With its extremely high output, the Mega Particle Cannon melted a huge gap in one of the research institute's outer walls in no time at all.

Even the open ground around the research institute was plowed into a huge, straight crater by Bumblebee's mega particle cannon shot.

"Hey, Bumblebee, you're really messing around!"

"This level of firepower..."

The two teammates who were watching Bumblebee's actions showed completely different reactions.

Enterprise, being a worldly-wise individual, only glanced at the Mega Particle Cannon on Bumblebee's shoulder a couple of times before paying it little attention.

After all, she had seen far more outrageous things than this.

Therefore, what she was more concerned about was whether Bumblebee's shot would directly destroy the research institute.

Lexington, however, was different. At the time when she was severely injured and devastated, even the Robb family's business was just starting out.

So when she saw Bumblebee's powerful firepower, she suddenly felt that her own body wasn't so appealing anymore.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I didn't just break a load-bearing wall."

"You've researched this?"

No, I was just guessing!

The company was so shocked that it almost couldn't catch its breath.

Sure enough, without the elder sister's restraint, this younger sister is becoming more and more "lively".

"Oh, they're out!"

Such a commotion was enough to only make those inside the research institute have exceptional hearing, even if they have mental problems.

Before the smoke and dust had even cleared, a terrifying low growl echoed from inside the research institute.

In order to better lure all the people out of the research institute, Bumblebee deliberately hovered at the crack.

As if sensing something, she suddenly made a sharp turn and flew to the other side.

The next second, a figure dressed in a black combat suit broke through the smoke and dust and rushed out.

"Hehe, trying to catch me~"

"Ah~"

The bumblebee's provocative actions quickly drew the attention of everyone who had crawled out of the crack.

One figure after another followed Bumblebee, gradually moving away from the research institute.

"Shall we go in?"

Enterprise and Lexington hid on high ground, watching as Bumblebee lured away all the troublemakers.

Lexington thought it was about right, so she asked the company.

"No, that's not right!"

Just as the company was considering whether it should make a move.

A jolt of electricity ran through her mind.

She didn't know what it was, but her intuition told her that something quite dangerous was about to happen.

Companies that have long been at the forefront of the battlefield choose to trust their intuition at this moment.

"Bumblebee, forget about those people, retreat immediately!"

"And Lexington, we're leaving too!"

Before he could explain anything, the company grabbed Lexington beside him and flew off at full speed into the distance.

"Ah~ Enterprise Sister? Retreat?"

Completely bewildered, Bumblebee watched as his sister transformed into a beam of light and flew away.

"Ugh~ Seriously!"

Bumblebee glanced at the humans still hanging behind him, accelerated, and immediately chased after Enterprise.

...

Inside the institute.

The "material X" that was originally heavily restrained suddenly began to move.
