Chapter 282: The Romanian Laboratory (Part 9)

Somewhere in Romania.

This was a sparsely populated area. Located between the coast and the dense forest, the Alliance's Enhanced Human research facility was situated underground here, with the help of rock layers as cover.

At this time, a fierce conflict broke out among the leadership of this massive underground research facility regarding the self-destruct order issued from above.

"The order from above has come down!"

"We must abandon this place and initiate the self-destruct procedure."

"Don't even think about it! To ask me to abandon the research results here, I won't do it even if I die!"

"If we self-destruct, what will happen to those children?"

"We can't take them away at all, you know that!"

"To defeat those monsters in the sky, we have already done enough inhumane things. Isn't that enough? Do we have to be even more cruel?"

"Now is not the time to talk about this. The special unit from above is already not far from here."

"If we successfully complete the self-destruct, then this unit will be the one to pick us up and evacuate. If we exceed the time, then this unit will silence us along with the facility!"

"Even so, I can't do it!"

"Then you go die."

The conflict in words and philosophy ultimately turned into sudden gunfire.

The opposition in the supreme meeting was purged by force, but there were survivors who escaped the venue.

The escaped opposition released the imprisoned Enhanced Humans and started a rebellion.

And just as the fierce drama of rebellion and suppression was being staged inside the facility, a fierce battle also broke out in the dense forest 50 kilometers north of the facility.

The unit dispatched by Logos to carry out the mission was attacked by Serpent Tail and the Xia sisters.

This unit, like Li Boyong's unit, belonged to Phantom Pain, so Li Boyong knew their composition and march route very well.

Three N Daggers, advancing carefully in stealth mode, were suddenly attacked by the Nero Blitz, which also possessed a Mirage Colloid system.

The invisible blade storm swept through the dense forest like a gale, and in less than a minute, dismantled the three N Daggers into parts.

The elite land special forces accompanying the N Dagger squad were then surrounded and annihilated by the Rosso Aegis and Serpent Tail.

"It seems our employer this time is not an ordinary character, and it doesn't look like a small matter we're going to do."

Watching the two Gundams quickly clean up the battlefield, Elijah, who was piloting a ZAKU Warrior and responsible for patching leaks, couldn't help but click his tongue.

"We just need to be responsible for completing the mission given by the employer. Don't worry about other things."

Gai Murakumo, who was piloting the Blue Astray, warned his companion.

However, although he said so, his heart couldn't help but ripple.

As one of the Socious test subjects in the Enhanced Human project that defected after the last great war, he knew the purpose of this research facility very well, and he understood the situation in the Black Sea recently.

And the employer had actually used two Gundam-type units of the Phantom Pain unit to annihilate the Alliance's cleanup unit for this facility. I'm afraid a huge change is about to happen within the Alliance!

"Cleanup complete." This was Xia Yufang, piloting the Rosso Aegis, connecting to the Blue Astray's communication. "Please let the infantry team start to break into the facility for suppression."

Xia Yufang's cold expression made Gai Murakumo feel the illusion that the other party was his own kind. And now, it was such a kind that was carrying out a combat operation that was close to rebellion.

This made Gai Murakumo even more certain of his judgment.

"Understood." Gai Murakumo issued the order to break in to the infantry team that was preparing, but learned of an unexpected situation from the infantry team.

"There's movement inside the facility?" He immediately told the Xia sisters about this situation.

"Troublesome. Whatever the movement is, wouldn't it be fine to solve all those who dare to resist?" The younger sister Yulan, who had just solved the N Dagger squad, curled her lips.

"If we do that, we will violate the teacher's original intention." The older sister Yufang was much more rational than her younger sister. As the person in charge who could be entrusted with this operation by Li Boyong and Wang Liumei, she basically understood Li Boyong's purpose.

"Can we make contact?" The older sister Yufang asked concisely. "Unit number, authentication code, communication channel for you."

"We can try, but the other party may not believe it." Gai Murakumo nodded, letting the infantry team slow down the break-in, trying to establish communication with the inside of the facility. "Perhaps, but they have no choice." Yufang judged coldly.

About three minutes later, Gai Murakumo established contact with the inside of the facility.

Fortunately, the person he contacted happened to be the opposition composed of some researchers and Enhanced Human test subjects.

After a simple exchange, the infantry team began to carry out the suppression operation according to the internal structure map of the facility that had been obtained long ago, but on the basis of the original plan, it changed from protecting the Enhanced Human test subjects to suppressing the facility with the opposition.

The battle-hardened mercenary unit broke into the facility and, with the help of the opposition, quickly defeated the facility's original security forces and controlled several key points inside the facility.

Up to this point, the Xia sisters and Serpent Tail successfully took down the Romanian Enhanced Human research facility and prevented the facility from self-destructing.

Although many children who were test subjects and facility researchers died in this armed conflict, and the internal facilities suffered considerable damage in the battle, a considerable number of relevant personnel still survived.

It's just that those who survived also held considerable vigilance against Serpent Tail, who now controlled the facility. At the time of the civil strife, they had no choice, but now that things were over, as birds of prey, they naturally wouldn't easily trust the Xia sisters and Serpent Tail.

In order to avoid accidental confrontation, Yufang agreed to the survivors' request, dividing the internal space of the facility into two parts, not offending each other, and also allowing the children to continue to possess weapons.

The suppression operation came to an end. The Xia sisters passed the news to the Serpent Tail mother ship lurking in the shallow waters of Romania, and the mother ship passed the news back to Port Said, Suez.

Port Said, Li Boyong was with a group of field officers, waiting on the deck of the carrier Jones for the Orb expeditionary fleet commander—Yuna Roma Seiran—to come to the Jones for friendly guidance and exchange between allied forces.

After completing the preparations on the Jones, he sent a request to the Orb side. To ensure that the other party would definitely come, he specifically used flowery language to praise the performance of the Orb fleet in the Suez recapture battle.

For Yuna, who had always been vain, this was exactly what he wanted.

So he set off from the Orb military flagship *Take-Mikazuchi* in an Orb armed helicopter and prepared to land on the carrier deck of the Jones.

And just as the armed helicopter was about to land, Wang Liumei, who had learned the news of the success of the Romanian operation, walked quickly to Li Boyong's side. "The operation over there was very successful. Although there were some damages, they were all within expectations."

"That's truly double happiness."

Li Boyong looked at the helicopter that had stopped steadily on the deck, and greeted it with the most sincere smile on his face. ===== CHAPTER 283 =====
