Chapter 60

"Looks like our actions can't be delayed any longer. Who knows what these madmen will do?" Wang Li clenched his fists, his eyes burning with anger.

"Ye Chenfeng, are you ready to join us in this operation?" Wang Li asked. With the current situation, having an expert like Ye Chenfeng join would undoubtedly increase their chances of success.

Ye Chenfeng nodded. He had originally come to stop this terrorist action and take away the false tree root, but there wasn't even a single building around. Where could the terrorists be hiding?

"Chenfeng, it's really great that you can join us. Who is this?" Wu Kunming felt a great relief when Ye Chenfeng agreed to Wang Li's request. Only now did he notice Fang Nanxiang standing behind Ye Chenfeng.

"This is Fang Nanxiang. He has excellent skills. We originally had the same idea as you, to come here and investigate the situation," Ye Chenfeng said.

"But this area is completely desolate. Where could the terrorists be hiding?" Ye Chenfeng voiced his concern.

"We've been here for over three hours and haven't found anything," Wang Li's face showed a hint of impatience. As a member of the Elite Soldier Group of Huaxia, Wang Li was known for his exceptional abilities in all aspects. It seemed his mental fortitude had not yet reached the level of unshakable resolve!

Ye Chenfeng thought for a moment. In his previous life, what kind of missions hadn't he taken on? He had dealt with high-level criminal organizations and mercenary groups. Since Wang Li and Wu Kunming had received information pointing to this location, and the address in his hand also clearly indicated this place, the terrorists must be in this area.

"There are no buildings on the ground. Could they be underground?" Ye Chenfeng muttered.

"Chenfeng, what did you say?" Wu Kunming didn't quite hear what Ye Chenfeng said.

"Uncle Wu, I suspect that these terrorists have set up their base underground. We should immediately conduct a thorough search," Ye Chenfeng suggested.

"Everyone, spread out and conduct a thorough search. Look for anything suspicious," Wu Kunming immediately gave the order.

Wu Kunming's twenty subordinates immediately began a meticulous search without delay.

This time, the intelligence received from above was incorrect. The higher-ups thought it was a small-scale terrorist action, so they only sent one member of the Elite Soldier Group and had Wu Kunming assist. If they had known it was a virus spread, they would have sent at least ten members of the Elite Soldier Group, if not the military!

But now it was too late. Wu Kunming and Wang Li could immediately inform the higher-ups of the situation and request reinforcements, but that would take at least a day or two. If the terrorists took action in that time, it would be a disaster that Wu Kunming and Wang Li couldn't bear.

"Report, I've found something," a soldier ran up to Wu Kunming and said.

The soldier led Ye Chenfeng and the others to the suspicious spot he had found. The weeds and soil on the ground had been cleared away, revealing a metal cover similar to a manhole cover, with an iron handle on it. This must be the entrance to the terrorists' underground base.

"Ye Chenfeng, it looks like your guess was spot on!" Wang Li directly opened the manhole cover and looked down. It was pitch black inside, with even lower visibility than outside.

"Isn't it too easy for us to find it? They can't be that stupid, so there must be traps and mechanisms down there," Ye Chenfeng warned.

"Ye Chenfeng, even if it's a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, we have to go down and face it," Wang Li said without hesitation and was the first to climb down the ladder inside.

Ye Chenfeng shook his head with a bitter smile. Wang Li was a member of the Elite Soldier Group! He must have taken on many dangerous missions. It was a miracle that he had survived this long with his personality.

Wu Kunming, who had spent a lot of time with Wang Li, patted Ye Chenfeng's shoulder and said, "Chenfeng, that's just the way Wang Li is. Don't take it to heart."

"Uncle Wu, not all of us should go down. We should leave some people outside to provide support," Ye Chenfeng said.

Wu Kunming agreed with Ye Chenfeng's idea and left ten members outside. Ye Chenfeng also asked Fang Nanxiang to stay outside, though Fang Nanxiang was reluctant, he eventually stayed outside obediently.

When Ye Chenfeng and the others descended the ladder into the underground area, the surroundings suddenly lit up with blinding lights, and a voice came from all directions: "Ha ha ha, welcome to our virus research base. We will make sure you have an unforgettable night."

Ye Chenfeng immediately observed the surroundings and noticed cameras and speakers on the walls. He picked up a few pebbles from the ground and threw them at the cameras and speakers without hesitation.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!—" The cameras and speakers on the wall were destroyed by the pebbles Ye Chenfeng threw.

At this moment, in a large laboratory deep within the underground base, a middle-aged man saw the image on the screen turn to static and couldn't help but shout in anger, "Bastards, I will make sure these Huaxia people don't return. Our plan will be implemented in one day, and by then, the intelligence of most people in southern Huaxia will regress to that of two- to three-year-olds."

This middle-aged man from the island nation was the same person who appeared on the screen in the chairman's office of the Tianwu Group. In the laboratory, there were eight other middle-aged men of different skin colors, who were likely from different countries. They were continuously working on the virus on the lab benches.

In the corner of the laboratory, there were three iron cages, each containing eight or nine Huaxia people, both men and women, with disheveled clothing and vacant eyes, which did not match their age.

These eight or nine Huaxia people were used as test subjects and had been infected with the new virus, causing their intelligence to regress to that of children.

This terrorist organization was composed of people from all over the world, but the leader was a middle-aged man from the island nation, who had a criminal record in multiple countries. This time, their terrorist organization had targeted Huaxia.

If their so-called virus spread plan were to succeed, Huaxia would face an unprecedented disaster.
