Chapter 87: Infiltration
"Warning, warning, all personnel put on protective gear. Toxic fog will be released in ten seconds. Ten, nine, eight..."
Anti-World, Hydra base rooftop.
Colin opened his eyes. The alarm from inside the base came through his Super Hearing.
"Perfect timing."
Listening to the urgent alarm in his ears, a slight smile played on Colin's lips as he used the newly unlocked Super Breath.
Aided by his Invisibility ability, he easily infiltrated the base.
Hiss—
With the help of his Super X-Ray Vision ability, everything inside the base posed no obstacle to Colin.
As he moved, accompanied by a faint activation sound, large amounts of toxin sprayed out inside the Hydra base, instantly filling its entire interior.
Facing these dangerous toxins spreading all around, the personnel inside the Hydra base quickly tightened their gas masks on their faces, fearing they might accidentally inhale even a wisp of the fog.
Strolling through these toxins, Colin's expression, however, appeared unusually relaxed.
With the help of his Super Breath ability, under circumstances where he didn't need to breathe at all, these toxins spreading throughout the entire base had absolutely no effect on him.
While using his Super Hearing ability to pinpoint Scott's location, Colin strolled leisurely towards the Reborn Laboratory.
If Scott were to see Colin's situation at this moment, he would undoubtedly be speechless.
With the abilities Colin possessed, he was definitely more suited for this infiltration mission, and with far fewer risks.
...
"Have people guard every entrance," Madame Hydra instructed her subordinate wearing a gas mask, "and no one is allowed to enter without my permission."
Standing amidst the toxic fog, a bewitching smile played on Madame Hydra's lips as she spoke to her subordinate wearing a gas mask behind her.
She was also the only person in the entire base, besides the infiltrating Colin, who didn't need a gas mask.
However, unlike Colin who possessed Super Breath,
Ophelia didn't need a gas mask due to her unique physique.
Toxin Immunity
Ophelia possessed a unique immunity to toxins, allowing her to be immune to most toxins.
She had also honed this ability to its extreme, and through her natural immunity to toxin, she had become a dangerous poison master.
Upon hearing Madame Hydra's instructions, the subordinate wearing a gas mask immediately used his communicator to issue the muffled command.
Standing in the base corridor filled with toxin, Ophelia's slender fingertips traced over the whip in her hand: "I hope our guest can last a few more minutes. Don't disappoint me."
...
"It seems Invisibility is still somewhat useful."
Using Invisibility, he passed by the guards at the entrance.
Colin arrived in front of the Reborn Laboratory, where Scott was trapped, and glanced at the sealed laboratory door in front of him.
Even before the toxin was deployed, the laboratory had already been completely sealed off.
A sturdy iron door had sealed off all passages to the Reborn Laboratory.
These were the protective measures implemented by the Hydra base, which had originally been an important military research and development base during World War II.
Its purpose was to protect the Peenemünde Base, allowing it to withstand bombing attacks and safeguard important researchers within the base when it was attacked by the Allied Forces at the time.
However, with the German Military's victory in World War II.
The Peenemünde Base did not suffer the expected bombing raids, and these protective measures within the base, with the activation of Hydra, became their containment devices.
Standing in front of the laboratory, Colin reached out and touched the sealed door in front of him.
Clang!
A light tap produced a dull thud, proving the sturdiness of the thick iron door.
The German Military back then had made full preparations in order to protect the research and development personnel within the Peenemünde Base.
Applying force with his arm, Colin's fingers pressed against the iron door sank down, leaving a clearly visible fingerprint indentation. If he wanted to, under the effect of Super Strength, he could indeed tear open the iron door in front of him.
However, Colin withdrew his fingers from the iron door, and used Super X-Ray Vision to peer through the indentation at the section behind the iron door.
Even with the help of Super Strength, breaking through this iron door wouldn't be a simple task.
Moreover, he also needed to consider the time it would take for the guards at the entrance to react and arrive after his action.
Pondering, Colin withdrew his gaze from the iron door.
Since using Super Strength would be somewhat time-consuming, he happened to possess a method that would succeed with less time.
As Colin's thoughts raced, his eyes emitted a scorching red glow. The next second, two red high-temperature beams shot out from his eyes, landing on the wall beside the Reborn Laboratory's thick iron main door.
"Warning, warning..."
"All personnel, take your positions! An anomaly has occurred in the Reborn Laboratory in Sector Four. Personnel nearby, proceed immediately to provide support..."
In front of the laboratory, Colin's actions naturally drew a reaction from within the Hydra base.
After all, his Invisibility ability was far from being able to render his Heat Vision equally invisible.
Following the radio's warning, Hydra members within the base rapidly sprang into action.
They wore gas masks, picked up their weapons, and hurried towards Sector Four, where the incident occurred.
"He truly is impatient."
In the corridor, hearing the sound of the radio, Madame Hydra curled her lips, unfastened the whip from her waist, and swung it, slicing through the surrounding toxic fog with a sharp whistle.
"I thought this guest could last a bit longer."
"Come," she said, "let's go see who this guest is that has arrived here."
Saying this, Ophelia turned and walked towards the laboratory with a seductive gait. Her subordinate, gazing at Madame Hydra's curvaceous back, didn't hesitate and immediately followed.
From Sector Two, where Madame Hydra was located, the Reborn Laboratory where the incident occurred was not far. By the time she arrived at the laboratory, quite a few Hydra members had already gathered there.
However, looking at the personnel surrounding the laboratory who appeared confused, Madame Hydra's smile immediately vanished from her face.
"Where is he?"
She turned her head, looking at the large hole in the laboratory wall that was still emitting some heat, and the empty interior, and immediately frowned as she asked.
"N-no, he's gone, Commander!"
Facing Ophelia's interrogation, the few Hydra members who had arrived first at the scene exchanged confused glances, and finally, one of them mustered up the courage to speak, holding his gas mask on his face, and tremblingly replied.
