Last Totem Novel - Chapter 526
Chapter 526 Rescue
The ants were slender, about 20 centimeters from the jaw to the tail, and had wings the size of a palm of an adult male. If you fly to a crowded or brightly lit place, you will be discovered immediately. So after they left the room, they landed on their backs and crawled on their knuckles.
“Didi di di di di di di di di di”
With a light knock, the colony of soldiers quickly dispersed. In less than a few minutes, Tie Zha had obtained the vision of the entire Sequoia Stronghold. Under his guidance, the soldiers quickly found the ventilation openings in various parts of the fortress, put away their membrane wings, and drilled into it.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of scouts crawled along the square pipe, making rustling sounds, exploring every room in the stronghold.
Fortress lobby, collective barracks, mecha repair center, dining room, bathroom, training room, equipment room, elevator shaft …
Basement Level 1, Basement Level 2 …
Cell one, cell two, cell three …
In the eyes of the soldiers, Tie Zha searched one by one, but apart from a few men, there were no traces of any women. Although the scouting ants’ vision is blurry, they rely on scent and ultrasound to sense their surroundings.
As a result, there was only a single color in the picture transmitted back by the ants-red, and the outline was blurry. Compared to the human retina, the only advantage is thermal sensing, when the surface temperature of the object is higher, the color will be brighter.
Ground Level 3 … Ground Level 4 … Ground Level 5 …
Officer’s quarters, medical center, commander’s office, staff officer’s office, finance officer’s office, command center …
Half an hour later, Tie Zha searched the entire fortress but found no targets similar to Valeria. He couldn’t help but wonder if it was a mistake in the information, or if they had hidden her in an unknown secret room.
At this time, he suddenly remembered a comment on Tokuda Dazhi from Muyu Ling Lan: “This man has the habit of torturing and abusing women and admires the notorious witch hunter Celad.”
Thinking of this, Tie Zha thought for a moment and commanded the soldiers to climb towards the medical center. There was still a place that hadn’t been searched. It was an operating room with an air purifier. When soldiers drilled into the pipeline, they would be shattered by the high-speed rotating blades. Even if they were lucky enough to pass through, they would still be blocked by the purification pool and the filter sponge.
“Ke la la la …”
After a light sound, a few soldiers emerged from the ventilation pipe of the medical center and quickly crawled on the ceiling. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at a metal door.
At this moment, the medical center was completely silent. Only two nurses were sitting in the nurse’s station, lowering their heads to play with the communicator in their hands. The three soldiers flapped their membrane wings and flew to the control switch on the side of the metal door. However, they discovered that the page was full of numbers. It was actually a password lock.
Tie Zha didn’t know the password, so he had to let the soldier press it a few times.
“Dudu … Dudu … The password is invalid … The password is invalid …” Due to an input error, the password lock gave off an alarm, but Tie Zha did not know because the scouting ant did not have regular hearing and could not transmit sound signals.
“Ah!” The nurse who was playing with the communicator raised her head blankly when she heard the alarm. However, when she saw the ant climbing on the wall, she immediately threw down her phone, hugged her head, and let out a loud scream.
A few seconds later, the door to the operating room split apart with a whoosh. A tall man walked out, frowned, and shouted to the two nurses, “What’s going on?”
“Ant, what a big ant!” One of the nurses pointed at the soldier ant who was clinging to the password lock and cried out in panic.
The man turned his head and saw the three ants. He immediately opened his palm the size of a praying fan and said, “Pa!” With a loud sound, they were smashed to pieces.
“Stop shouting.” The man said impatiently, then turned around and walked into the operating room. At the same time, a soldier ant crawled through his feet.
In the red line of sight, a short and fat man was standing beside the operating table. He lowered his head and wore rubber gloves, as if he was playing with something. Climbing up high, he saw a woman lying on the operating table. The red light on her body was very dim, and it was obvious that her temperature was very low.
If I’m not mistaken, this short and fat man should be Daji Tokuda, the person in charge of Hirano Stronghold. The tall man was Yevgeny, the person in charge of the Sequoia Stronghold. As for the one lying on the operating table at this moment, it should be what Mu Yu Ling Lan said, that poor woman …
After confirming the target, Tie Zha hid the ants in a corner, then withdrew his attention and gestured towards Tie Ling, who was standing guard by the side.
The latter immediately opened his backpack and poured out a pile of burning grenades in the shape of beverage cans.
“Go get two more corpses.” Tie Zha instructed.
Tie Ling looked at the wardrobe.
“She is a commoner, not a soldier of Sequoia.” Tie Zha explained.
Tie Ling nodded silently, opened the door and walked out. Not long after, he returned carrying the corpses of two soldiers and threw them on the ground.
A few minutes later, a large number of soldiers emerged from the corpses. They were divided into two groups. They carried the burning grenade with their slender legs, flapped their membrane wings, and flew out of the window.
Mech Repair Center, Fuel Depot, Open Air Parking, Fuel Tank …
When the soldiers were all in position, Tie Zha thought to himself, and they all bit on the ring and pulled it with all their might.
“Ding ding ding …”
Following a series of crisp metal collisions, the burning grenades hidden in various places exploded one after another, and the flames immediately soared into the sky.
“Someone, there’s a fire!” “Get the fire extinguisher! Quick!” “Water, give me water!”
The outside was quickly thrown into chaos, and shouts rose and fell one after another. Tie Zha said “Go” to Tie Ling, and then he flipped out of the window.
After landing on the ground, the two of them quickly walked towards the fortress, shuttling through the fire-fighting crowd running back and forth. In the blink of an eye, they infiltrated the hall on the first floor. Taking advantage of the chaos, they swaggered up the stairs to the medical center on the third floor.
Looking around, there was no one in the center. They all went to put out the fire. After confirming his safety, Tie Zha, dressed in power armor, easily opened the metal door of the operating room and walked in with Tie Ling. He was not prepared to fight because he knew what was going on inside. When the fire broke out, he saw Yevgeny and Dazhi Tokuda hurriedly leave from the line of sight of the soldiers.
The operating room was quiet, and only a gentle breathing sound could be heard from the operating table. Looking closer, Tie Zha couldn’t help but frown, looking a little uncomfortable.
Valeria was lying on the stage, her abdominal cavity opened, and her colorful intestines could be clearly seen. Beside the abdominal cavity was a stainless steel plate filled with exquisite, bizarre-shaped surgical instruments stained with blood. What was even more penetrating was that Valeria was still awake, staring blankly at the ceiling. His eyes were numb and empty, like a toyed doll.
Five or six infusion pouches hung above her, connecting her arms and thighs through slender hoses. At this moment, there was only half of the liquid left in the bag. Judging from the speed of the drip, it would take at least several hours. It was hard to imagine what kind of torture she had suffered during this period of time.
“Valeria, can you hear me?” Tie Zha quickly put away his thoughts and asked.
The poor woman, however, did not react at all and continued to stare blankly at the ceiling.
“Can you hear me?” Tie Zha asked again.
After a while, she blinked and rolled her eyes at Tie Zha.
Suddenly, her pupils contracted violently and she shouted intermittently, “Kill me … Kill me … Please … Kill me … I can’t stand it anymore …” Her slightly trembling voice was filled with pain and despair. She didn’t want to survive, she just wanted to get rid of it quickly.
“Give her a treatment injection.” Seeing this, Tie Zha hurriedly turned to Tie Ling and said. In this situation, as long as there were enough healing medicines, she could be saved.
Tie Ling immediately took out a powerful healing needle worth more than a thousand gold coins from his waist, bit open the rubber sleeve, and forcefully stabbed it into Valeria’s white chest. When her breathing returned to normal, Tie Zha pulled up the sheets under her and bandaged her naked organs. Then, he picked her up and walked out of the operating room.
Afterwards, the two of them arrived at the window, kicked the glass and flew out.
Tie Ling didn’t wear power armor and relied on her “beehive wings”. However, she had the “Illusory Butterfly Camouflage”, which allowed her to conceal herself while flying. As for Tie Zha, he was wearing power armor. Although he had the advantage of speed, he was discovered by the guards before he could fly over the city wall.
“Wu …”
The alarm sounded throughout the stronghold, and several figures soared into the air at the same time, chasing after him.
“Dada …” “Dada …” “Dada …”
Hearing the alarm, the Black Pig King and the others, who were hiding nearby, immediately jumped onto the city wall and shot fiercely at the pursuers.
“Tie Ling, take your men first!” Tie Zha patted his helmet and switched on the intercom channel.
“Tie Ling, copy!”
After crossing the city wall, he laid Valeria flat on the ground, then took off the assault rifle on his back and jumped back onto the city wall. With a “crack” sound, he pulled the safety bolt and aimed at the pursuers to pull the trigger.
“Da da da …”
Flames spewed out, causing the rapidly approaching Modified Human Starfire to splatter everywhere.
“Be careful, they have psionic beings!” The Black Pig King reminded loudly. Amongst the figures who had just soared into the sky, there were a few that were dragging azure tail flames. They were the symbols of Psionic Energy Armored Warriors.
“Aggressive!” At this moment, a flash of fire suddenly flashed in front of him. Immediately after, three small heat-tracking missiles shot towards them with ear-piercing screams.
A strange feeling arose in his heart. Tie Zha instinctively swung the muzzle of the gun and fired a shuttle of bullets.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”
In the next instant, three missiles exploded in the air, turning into rising fireballs. The huge wave of air knocked over a large number of soldiers and objects on the ground.
At this time, Tie Ling also flew out of the stronghold. She immediately picked up Valeria on the ground, rode on a motorcycle, unscrewed the accelerator, and sped away.
In the blink of an eye, the Sequoia Transformers and Psionic Warriors charged over against their firepower.
“Back off!” Seeing the pursuers approaching, Tie Zha shouted loudly. The Black Pig King and the others immediately retreated while shooting.
As soon as Tie Zha jumped off the city wall, the three reformers chased after him. There happened to be a motorcycle beside him, so he immediately moved up and smashed it.
“Kuang!” The remoulder who was rushing at the front crashed into the motorcycle head-on and flew backwards.
After throwing the assault rifle out of the motorcycle, Tie Zha threw it over as well. At the same time, he stopped and punched at the incoming modifier.
“Die!”
Amidst the roar, the iron fist carried the momentum of wind and thunder, and with a loud “bang”, it directly blew away the head of the remoulded person. The remaining reformer was stopped by the assault rifle. Before he could react, he was kicked back to the stronghold by Tie Zha.
Just as he finished cleaning up the three reformers, a few streaks of blue light followed him. Psionic warriors weren’t as easy to deal with as reformers, and there were quite a few pursuers behind them. Once they were entangled, it would be very difficult for them to escape.
“Let’s go!” Tie Zha shouted loudly and gave the order to retreat. Everyone immediately put away their weapons, soared into the air, and flew towards Zhao Wenke’s direction.
