The operation in which Lin Ci'an led his team to raid the training center was much more difficult than expected.

The tower was indeed heavily manned, with three S-class sentry teams taking turns defending, and mind jammers shrouding the entire area in a harsh buzzing sound.

Lin Ci'an's black cat spirit was injured when it broke in, and was now curled up on his shoulder with its hair standing on end.

&34;Breakthrough on the east side!&34;

Liu Mingye shouted into the communicator, "There's a loophole in their defense!"

Meanwhile, in the tower's central command room, a commander in a silver-gray uniform stared at a holographic map.

He wore a special tactical eyepiece in his left eye, and data streams of battle situations in various places kept flashing across the lens.

&34;Report to the commander, the training center was attacked! &34;

A signalman ran over in a panic, "The other side is the elite team led by Lin Ci'an. Our western defense line has been-"

&34;Shut up.&34;

Commander Yan Qiu interrupted coldly, "Immediately withdraw two-thirds of the troops on the west side to defend the central tower."

"But Commander, if we do that, the defense of the training center will be—"

"Execute the command."

The commander's finger slid across the holographic map, finally landing on the location of the central tower.

"Just received news that our clone experiment base has been invaded. All available forces are immediately sent back to defend it."

The signalman then noticed that in the surveillance footage in front of the commander, a blurry figure was moving quickly inside the tower.

Although the picture was disturbed, the iconic silver-gray long hair was faintly visible.

Lin Ci'an keenly noticed something unusual - there was chaos in the tower's troop deployment, and the western defense line that should have been impregnable was actually only guarded by regular guards.

He immediately changed his tactics and concentrated his firepower to tear open this unexpected gap.

"Something's wrong..."

Liu Mingye kicked open the door of the main control room and asked, "Where is their commander?"

The black cat suddenly pricked up its ears.

Lin Ci'an's spiritual tentacles detected a hint of abnormal fluctuations - coming from the direction of the central tower thirty kilometers away.

He turned his head suddenly and saw a dazzling fire suddenly lit up in the distant night sky.

At this time, Lin Ci'an's communicator lit up red, it was a message from the base.

Lin Ci'an had a bad feeling in his heart.

I clicked on the communication and heard the urgent voice of the base guard: "Boss! The base was attacked! Attack...the enemy..."

Before he could open his mouth, the picture suddenly stopped, and the last frame was the flames rising into the sky from the monitoring room.

Lin Ci'an's pupils suddenly contracted and his blood seemed to freeze in an instant.

He remembered the special electromagnetic shackles on Chu Ziyu's ankles when he left this morning - that thing would prevent people from even escaping in an explosion.

The communication was completely cut off, and no matter how Lin Ci'an tried to replay it, there was only a busy tone.

The communicator crackled in his palm under the weight.

"Boss?!"

Liu Mingye was shocked by the sudden burst of mental power and took a half step back.

The lights in the training center flickered violently around Lin Ci'an. His white coat fluttered without wind, and the blood on his cuffs evaporated into a dark red mist in his mental fluctuations.

The firelight from the central tower in the distance reflected in his eyes, burning those eyes that were always calm and composed red.

"Chen Mo, take a team... and continue the mission."

"All the rest..." His voice was terribly hoarse, "retreat to base immediately."

Chen Mo was about to question the mission, but fell silent the moment he saw Lin Ci'an's expression.

——That was an expression he had never seen on his commander's face, as if a frozen volcano suddenly cracked open, and the fear surging underneath was like molten lava.

When the convoy rushed back to the base at an almost suicidal speed, Lin Ci'an kicked open the car door.

A burning metal plate fell at his feet, twisted and deformed by the high temperature.

"Chu Ziyu——!"

Lin Ci'an rushed into the base. The entire building was engulfed in flames and the entire sky was dyed red by the flames.

Thick smoke billowed out of every window, and the heat burned exposed skin.

The tower's assault team was still fighting stubbornly, but Lin Ci'an had gone completely crazy at this moment.

&34;Get lost!&34;

His mental power exploded like a tsunami, and the black cat's spirit body expanded into a huge black shadow, and with one claw it slapped away the three sentinels that blocked the way.

The sound of bones breaking was drowned out by the explosion. Lin Ci'an stepped over the burning wreckage, and sparks were already igniting from the hem of his white coat.

"Boss! It's too dangerous!"

Liu Mingye wanted to stop him, but was bounced back by a mental barrier.

Lin Ci'an turned a deaf ear and rushed straight to his room where the fire was the fiercest.

The high temperature caused the metal door frame to twist and deform. He tried to pry it open with his hands, and his palms were instantly burned, but he seemed to feel no pain.

"Chu Ziyu!"

The thick smoke choked his lungs and his voice became hoarse.
