Chapter 925

The New Year is coming soon—are we really still supposed to stay in the base?

I want to go home! The old man at home is dying; I have to go back and see him, otherwise the family fortune will all go to the eldest.

The Lin family has been relatively calm lately; maybe it's time to lift the seal?

What's so good about the New Year? There's not a hint of festive feeling left.

……

January 24, 2017.

There are still two days until the New Year.

Of the Twelve Zodiac Animals, the ten who are still alive were training in the training room while emitting sounds like complaints.

Since Zi Shu died, the ten of them have not gone out.

They were ordered to stand by in the base.

They vaguely suspected it wasn't because of the Lin family.

But rather because there were again opposing opinions among the higher-ups.

One faction advocated continuing to push forward the grand deception plan proposed by Lin Feng.

Another group felt that the most important task at present was to restrain Lin Feng.

Still another group had an ambiguous attitude, hedging their bets.

Although they understood this, the training room had surveillance, so they dared not speak their minds.

Otherwise they would be punished.

The ten were so obedient, following orders meekly, not because they had been placed under a restriction.

Just as Americans implant crystal cores into Enhancers' bodies.

Although they had been Enhanced, the benefit-granting Enhancement Agent was in limited supply.

It was only allocated during special training or when carrying out missions.

At the same time, they also worried that there might be stronger Enhancers than themselves.

They couldn't discuss sensitive topics, so as they chatted, the conversation turned to Lin Feng.

It wasn't about how strong Lin Feng's current power was, but about the women around him.

They had looked over Lin Feng's information countless times.

With their powerful memory, they could recite it backward fluently.

"Lin Feng, this kid really has plenty of romantic luck! He's gathered so many beauties."

"Yeah! Just from the data there are thirty-something, each a top-notch beauty—every type imaginable, it's downright enviable!"

"I once had the idea of taking down Han Xiang, but I didn't expect that the woman's backer was actually Lin Feng. If I had my current strength back then, I would have moved directly."

"That woman with the surname Qi isn't bad either!"

"Do you know An Qi and Zuo Wei? We were classmates in middle school!"

"Women all like pretty boys; Lin Feng is good-looking, and I admit that."

After listening for a while, Chou Niu, who was doing weight-bearing training, sneered, "What's the use of just being good-looking? It's nothing but a flower rack."

"Oh?"

Someone raised a question, wanting to hear Chou Niu's high theory.

Chou Niu glanced at the Rooster, smiled, and said, "You still have to look at real combat ability! But these are innate, decided by heaven; even if Enhanced, they can't be changed. I am Er Shi Se Ai Meng!"

Having said that, Chou Niu wore a look of pride.

Everyone glanced at Chou Niu's physique—this guy's talent is indeed awesome.

……

The ten never imagined that their training situation was being livestreamed.

The Micro Robots provided by Deves had already flown into the base.

The base's metal door was tightly shut, so the Micro Robots 'melted' into liquid form and easily seeped in.

The base's electromagnetic signals were shielded.

But the Micro Robots used a segmented contact method.

That is, every certain distance, one or two Micro Robots were left behind as relay stations for signal transmission.

The electromagnetic signal needed for transmission is weaker than that emitted by the human body, so it naturally does not trigger the base's alarm device.

In the woods a few minutes' distance outside the base.

"Auntie, what did that big guy just say? He looks so pleased with himself."

Lin Qiuxia looked at the surveillance footage playing on the tablet before her and curiously asked Bi Yue.

Bi Yue opened her mouth, but for a moment didn't know how to answer.

Lin Qiuxia is still this young; some knowledge is not suitable for her to learn prematurely.

After thinking, she said, "What he said might be about the use of some kind of power! He means that when he strikes, his fist wind can reach eighteen centimeters."

"So that's how it is!"

Lin Qiuxia nodded.

Bi Yue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

At last she managed to fool this little trickster.

But Lin Qiuxia then asked again, "What about my dad?"

In Lin Qiuxia's mind, her father Lin Feng is the strongest.

Bi Yue smiled and said, "Compared to your dad, he's far behind. Your dad's fist wind can reach twenty-five! And his fist wind is very strong!"

"Wow!"

Lin Qiuxia looked surprised.

As expected, Dad's combat ability is far stronger than that big guy's.

Next, Bi Yue turned off the sound.

Lin Qiuxia was about to ask when Bi Yue made a shushing gesture and said, "Americans are coming!"

Lin Qiuxia's eyes widened, she lowered her body, and looked around.

Besides the whooshing wind, there was nothing!

She was about to ask again when, at that moment, the base in the distance suddenly sounded an alarm.

Bi Yue turned the sound back on.

In the surveillance footage, Chou Niu and the other ten immediately put down their training equipment.

Next, they put on specially made protective gear.

The alarm in the training room was shrill, and the alarm indicator flashed red.

This was the highest-level alert.

Since the base was built, this is the first time such an alarm has sounded.

Bi Yue tapped a few times on the tablet.

The screen switched, showing surveillance footage from various locations around the base.

The screen showed intense combat scenes.

A squad of American Elite Hunters dressed in black, carrying various equipment, attacked directly.

The Americans actually intended to sneak into the base secretly.

As a result, someone accidentally triggered the alarm; the leader, hardening his heart, immediately issued an attack order.

Gunfire and explosions rang out continuously.

The death cries of ordinary guards were drowned out by these sounds.

In just a few minutes, the Americans broke into the base interior.

Soon, they encountered ten of the Twelve Zodiac Animals.

The Twelve Zodiac Animals are very strong; in a single encounter, the tank-like Chou Niu killed five of them.

But on the other side, the weaker Twelve Zodiac Animals—Mao Tu, Wei Yang, and Wu Ma—were surrounded and killed.

Part of the Americans fought the Twelve Zodiac Animals, while another part restrained the remaining guards.

Moreover, another part infiltrated the base's research lab to obtain more advanced enhancement technology.

Unfortunately, they ultimately failed.

More than thirty Elite Hunters suffered heavy casualties after just a few minutes of combat.

Seeing that it was hopeless, the leader could only order a retreat.

Chou Niu and the others angrily pursued them.

……

Half an hour later, the battle basically ended.

The Americans escaped with five survivors, and of the ten Twelve Zodiac Animals, only Chou Niu, Yin Hu, Chen Long, Hai Zhu, and You Ji survived.

Out of ten, five were lost.

Just moments ago they were chatting together in the training room, and in the blink of an eye, five companions were gone.

Besides that, the ordinary guards inside the base suffered near-total casualties.

Fortunately, the innermost research lab was sealed immediately, isolating the researchers and all important data and specimens.

The Americans tried every means, but could not break in.

"Their losses look huge, but in fact they haven't hurt the foundation at all!"

After watching the entire battle outcome, Lin Qiuxia frowned and said.

Bi Yue curled the corner of her mouth, "This time our plan to drive the tiger to swallow the wolf, killing two birds with one stone, has completed its first step."

Next, it's our people's turn to go up.

Having said that, Bi Yue issued the attack order.

The base's alarm sounded again.

Chou Niu and the others had just caught their breath when they didn't expect another attack.

"Damn! The Americans aren't giving up; this time I'll tear them apart!"

Chou Niu flew into a rage and roared.

At that moment, a messenger ran over and shouted, "This time it's not the Americans; it's an unknown force. Most likely it's members of the Lin Family."

Moreover, all of our base's automatic defense facilities have failed!

The Americans suffered huge casualties, partly because the base had installed various defensive weapons.

When the American Enhancers attacked, these weapons activated and inflicted casualties on the American Enhancers.

Now they can't be activated, of course because the micro robots destroyed the control system.
