260. Chapter 260: The Military Zone! Golden Eyes!
"Igor is dead. You should fulfill your promise to me now." After the call ended, Billy put down his phone.
"Get ready to leave in half an hour."
Going to the Bathroom, Billy washed his face, then looked at himself in the mirror.
The Mysterious Person's Strength was perhaps far more terrifying than he had imagined. As long as the Mysterious Person wished, they could kill all of them in a short amount of time. Don't be fooled by the Mysterious Person's seemingly harmless appearance now; Billy was certain that once they lost their usefulness, the Mysterious Person wouldn't hesitate to act against them.
Billy slowly took out a fruit-green serum from the inner pocket of his clothes. Under the dim light, the serum refracted an alluring luster, seemingly pulling Billy's gaze like a black hole.
He slightly shook the crystal-clear liquid inside the bottle.
In the mirror, as the light flickered, the struggle on Billy's face constantly alternated between light and dark.
Finally, his gaze gradually became firm. He pulled off the stopper on the syringe, then rolled up his sleeve, tilted his head, and watched the needle, which gleamed with a cold light, slowly enter his skin bit by bit. As the serum was gradually pushed into his blood vessels, Billy felt as if a special strength had appeared within him. He looked up at the mirror.
In the mirror, his eyes glowed with a flame like burning gold. Billy wanted to fully unleash this strength, but his sanity told him not to. He absolutely could not let the Mysterious Person discover the anomaly on him.
However, when Billy's eyes lit up with golden light, Xia Shang detected a special brainwave.
He looked towards the Bathroom. Under his X-ray Vision ability, everything happening to Billy was completely visible to him.
"Let's wait a bit longer." Xia Shang suppressed the urge to analyze Billy. In his opinion, the priority of analyzing Radiation Eye was lower than Soldier Boy.
"How are you guys getting ready? It's time to go."
Billy pretended as if nothing had happened, put on his sunglasses, and patted Hughie's shoulder on the sofa.
...
A "Steel Fortress" was located in a secluded place in the Russian suburbs. The military buildings inside were all constructed from high-strength cement and rebar, said to be able to withstand nuclear strikes. Inside, there were rows of tanks, their surfaces gleaming with a cold, grim, deadly luster under the moonlight.
"Before coming here, Nina didn't mention that the Laboratory was actually inside a Russian Military Zone."
Billy and the others found the main electrical box of the Military Zone through the location Nina had provided. At this moment, Mother's Milk was holding a flashlight to illuminate for Billy.
"Just think of it as us robbing a convenience store; the process is pretty much the same anyway." Billy swung the crowbar and smashed it against the electrical box several times.
*Crack!* The lights inside the Military Zone instantly went out.
"I thought they'd have a backup electrical box." Billy revealed a smug smile.
"This thing isn't connected to the inside of the Military Zone anyway; they'd only set up two if they had nothing better to do."
Mother's Milk took off his gloves and threw them onto the wire fence behind him. After confirming there was no high voltage electricity on it, he bent down and picked the gloves back up.
"Okay."
Billy pulled up the wire fence, letting Hughie and the others enter the Military Zone.
Afterwards, he held a security guard hostage and used their access card to open the main door leading to the Laboratory.
After knocking the person unconscious with a palm strike, they each held their flashlights and carefully searched every corner of the Laboratory.
Xia Shang casually picked up a piece of paper from the table. It was clear that this was the Russian Laboratory researching Compound V.
Using Radio Wave Sensing, he sensed Soldier Boy's location and also discovered a relatively special radio signal.
Analyzing all of Soldier Boy's abilities would still take some time.
"What the hell is this thing?" At this moment, Billy and Mother's Milk were circling an iron pillar in the center of the Laboratory. The iron pillar had a strange shape, somewhat resembling a rocket, and a climbing frame was welded onto it.
"So it's just a little hamster." Xia Shang walked over and saw the owner of the special radio signal.
It was a small, yellowish-white hamster with slightly messy hair.
"What a cute little guy. It even has its name on it, Jamie." Frenchie kept calling the hamster's name through the glass.
"Alright, important matters are pressing."
Billy wasn't very interested in the hamster.
But Jamie's sensing was very sharp. When it sensed someone approaching, it began frantically hitting the surrounding walls and the bulletproof glass at an extremely high speed.
"Fuck, this damn hamster has been injected with Compound V. It's a trap the Russians deliberately left here." Mother's Milk cursed angrily.
"That's some sneaky shit."
The alarm suddenly blared, and the constantly flashing red warning light seemed to be telling everyone that there were intruders.
*Bang!* Xia Shang smashed through the bulletproof glass with a punch and scooped out the hamster.
The originally agitated hamster Jamie became quite quiet in Xia Shang's hands. However, if one observed closely, they could see its thin body trembling slightly.
*Da da da!!* Rapid footsteps sounded.
A group of well-equipped SWAT officers pushed open the main door and rushed into the Laboratory. They were wearing thermal imagers and immediately locked onto Billy and the others' positions.
*Bang!* As soon as they pulled the trigger, over a dozen tentacles, like giant pythons, instantly pierced through their heads, leaving them hanging in mid-air.
"Looks like we're not needed anymore." Hughie tilted his head back, looking at the corpses hanging in the air, and remarked.
"With the Mysterious Person here, I feel like we're just clearing a lowest-level dungeon."
Billy's complexion, however, wasn't very good. The stronger the Mysterious Person was, the smaller the probability of them surviving at their hands.
"Don't just stand there like idiots."
After some searching, Billy found a closed Iron Door. They were responsible for finding Soldier Boy, while Xia Shang was responsible for blocking the Special Forces entering the Laboratory.
"It looks like something is locked inside here." Mother's Milk examined the iron cabinet before him, which resembled a refrigerator. "My subconscious is telling me it's best not to open it..."
Before he could finish speaking, Billy found the switch on the door.
"Don't rush."
A tentacle shot out from a distance, accurately inserting itself between Billy's fingers.
The soldiers outside perhaps realized that the intruders inside were not easy to deal with, so they stopped their suicidal actions. However, Xia Shang faintly seemed to hear the sound of tracks grinding against the ground.
"Wait a bit longer."
The analysis wasn't finished yet. Releasing Soldier Boy now was not a good choice.
"Time is urgent, we need to leave here quickly." Billy said in a deep voice, looking at Xia Shang.
"I said, wait a bit longer." The expression on Xia Shang's face didn't change at all.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit off, Hughie quietly reached into his pocket and pulled off the stopper on top of the syringe.

(Translator: It feels really bad when you have very good novels without a harem, and you update a lot of chapters every day, but then some random novel with just a harem gets 10 times the traffic and power stones. A novel with only 16 chapters can get more power stones in a week than my 11 novels combined over 7 months, just because it has a harem. Do people really love harems that much? I worked very hard to find good novels without a harem or a stupid MC, but those barely get any traffic or power stones. I don't know what to do. What's worse is that harem lovers even come and give you 1-star reviews just because there's no harem — not only for this novel, but for my other works too. Maybe this site only loves harems.)
