Chapter 555

At this moment,

Karina had completely lost the ability to breathe.

Fear washed over her entire body.

This wasn't a Flying General!

Only after it brushed past

did Karina see the appearance of the aura's owner.

Humanoid,

face deathly pale,

unnaturally thin, with the outline of bones almost visible,

especially at the waist, which could be gripped with one hand.

Its movement trajectory hovered in mid-air;

Karina felt it must be the frequency of its wing beats that made it impossible for her to see clearly.

Fortunately,

she had survived.

The opponent hadn't discovered her.

Karina took out her communicator, her hands trembling so much that the device almost fell to the ground.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo," Karina tried hard to calm her breathing.

She had to—she had to tell them this news immediately.

This kind of creature,

it was like an ant and an elephant;

it simply wasn't something human professionals could deal with!

Suddenly,

a gust of wind struck,

and a pale face was reflected in Karina's pupils.

"Puchi!"

The sound of a spike piercing flesh rang out.

The communicator fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Below the building,

countless professionals wearing military-standard equipment were present.

On the outside was a hexagram array the size of a basketball court.

This was a group teleportation array.

Its advantage was that it could teleport many people at high speed,

but its disadvantage was that it consumed an enormous amount of energy.

The cost per minute, if converted to Dragon Coins, was at least in the hundreds of millions!

As long as the ten top professionals raiding the hive opened a gap,

or scouted the specific strength of the Brain-Eating Bees inside,

top professionals with teleportation array disks could provide support immediately,

destroying the hive with thunderous momentum in the shortest possible time!

Every top professional was a rare resource now;

the Eagle Nation wished they could split those Seventh-Turn professionals in two to use them!

At the same time,

just like raiding the original dungeon,

dozens of researchers established a temporary strategic deployment.

The hive had an unknown array,

making it impossible to see the situation inside through the professionals.

They could only implant instruments into the professionals' bodies,

understanding the situation inside through real-time communication and monitoring the professionals' vital signs.

Just then,

"Commander! The vital signs of the Shadow are disappearing rapidly!"

"Need rescue!"

"What?!" The temporary commander of the Eagle Nation, who was among them, stood up with a slam.

Codename Shadow, ranked nineteenth on the global leaderboard—that was Karina.

Everyone in the raid team could die!

But she couldn't!

She was one of the few remaining powerhouses of the Eagle Nation!

"Notify the other professionals immediately. Don't wait—rescue!"

"But if we go up without knowing the situation, we might suffer heavy losses."

"Am I the commander, or are you the commander!?" Pinoride roared.

"Yes, yes!" The staff member picked up a snail-like communicator and said, "Your current position is 400 meters directly above, at eight o'clock southwest."

"Shadow needs support!"

"Rush over at all costs!" The researchers were desperate too.

Shadow's vital signs were dropping at a steady rate.

To save her, they had to get there as fast as possible!

"Boom!"

As the voice fell,

a violent explosion occurred on the roof of the building.

The entire building shook violently.

Countless stones and steel bars shot out, exploding into ripples on the transparent barrier outside the hive.

The remaining nine professionals, upon receiving the order, immediately smashed the ceiling of the top floor.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"

Dozens of Brain-Eating Bees heard the commotion and rushed to the scene.

Zuo Zuo Xuance took the lead with his long spear.

The spear swept across,

carrying endless energy and directly blasting the Brain-Eating Bees in front of him into residue.

Other professionals also took action.

Top Seventh-Turn professionals dealing with ordinary Brain-Eating Bees

was no different from crushing ants.

The group rushed toward the target location.

They imitated the Dragon Nation's Chief,

traveling in a straight line,

smashing through walls directly when they encountered them.

Nie Huangzhong, as a support-class professional, was in the center of the team and asked in a focused voice:

"How strong is Karina's opponent? Can you scout it?"

The voice came through intermittently in the communication.

"No, the hive is covered by an array; we can't see the situation inside."

At this moment,

the Dragon Nation's Lin Lao, on a remote connection, said coldly:

"Are you Eagle Nation people all idiots? The array is transparent—just tear the hive apart! Then you won't be afraid of not seeing inside?"

"You've already broken in like this, what does it matter if you make a bigger scene?"

Hearing this, everyone turned to look at Lin Lao on the remote screen.

Are Dragon Nation people all this fierce?

"Why are you looking at me? Give the order!" Lin Lao was indignant.

"Listen to him," Pinoride said.

The staff had no choice but to convey the instructions.

The professionals inside the hive looked at each other.

Terrifying energy gathered on the main combat members.

The next second,

the energy was unleashed.

Fire, thunder, and spear shadows

blasted a giant hole through the hive from bottom to top, and they casually slaughtered countless ordinary Brain-Eating Bees along the way.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"

Countless Brain-Eating Bees took to the air.

The helicopters circling above clearly transmitted this scene to the screen.

"So many!?"

"No," Lin Lao said, "this is a good thing. I still haven't seen a Flying General-level existence."

"Aren't you here to save someone? Why are you just standing there?"

Seeing the execution of this group of Eagle Nation staff, Lin Lao wished he could go up himself.

Over the years, the Eagle Nation had been quietly developing top professionals,

but they didn't care about related operations at all.

Then again,

if they had any smart people,

that idiot Pinoride wouldn't be sitting in the commander's position.

Hearing Lin Lao's words,

everyone felt a little more at ease.

"Everyone, we can see Shadow's position now; she's right above you. They're just ordinary Brain-Eating Bees; there's no danger for now."

"Idiots!" Lin Lao couldn't help but curse. "Have you forgotten why Karina needs support?"

"Tell them not to rush, go up step by step. Also, can the camera get closer? What is that black shadow next to Karina? It doesn't look like a Brain-Eating Bee."

Hearing Lin Lao's reprimand, the staff member looked at Pinoride timidly.

The latter was very irritable, but he knew very well that Lin Lao was the professional.

"Lin Lao, with the array in place, the helicopters can't get close; we can only film to this extent."

He then looked at the staff member and scolded him with a sharp change in tone, "Listen to General Lin's instructions; don't ask for my opinion. However, tell them to move faster—Karina cannot die."

The conversation among the few wasn't lowered in volume,

and the professionals inside heard it all.

The Knight stood in front,

melee professionals guarded the sides,

and the remote and healing classes were protected in the center.

They advanced upward quickly in a standard raid formation.

Even when encountering Scout-level Brain-Eating Bees,

facing the battle formation of Seventh-Turn professionals,

they couldn't withstand the concentrated fire and were instantly killed.

Nie Huangzhong asked: "May I ask what kind of injuries Karina has?"

"I'll prepare the healing potions in advance."

"Injuries?"

The staff member looked at Karina's vital signs on the instrument.

"I can't tell. It's like she's being sucked by something bit by bit; it's a very steady decline."
