Chapter 221: 100-Men Team “Wai, I’m back again.”

All of a sudden, Lin Hai walked into a secret chamber in the secret base.

Wai’s mouth fell open, and then his eyes turned bloodshot. “Haizi, why are you here? Weren’t you excluded from Operation Wall Breaker?”

“I voluntarily applied to come back.”

“Are you stupid? You’re stupid! A huge idiot!”

“Why did Scar risk his life to save us back then? It’s so we can complete Operation Wall Breaker and decipher the ruins! Now that the Operation Wall Breaker is about to begin, Scar’s wish is about to be fulfilled. I won’t leave now.”

Lin Hai’s tone was resolute and determined. There was nothing Wai could do. He patted Lin Hai’s shoulder and let out a long sigh. “You’re the most gifted one among us. I’m afraid we’ll never be able to reach the Divine Realm, but you more or less have some hope. It’s a pity… However, this is your choice, and we respect your choice. Since you’re here, we’re lifelong brothers in arms. Lieutenant Colonel Lin Hai, please report back to the team!”

“Yes Sir!”

Lin Hai saluted respectfully. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They could finally fight alongside each other again.

Operation Wall Breaker referred to a ruin discovered by the military in the depths of the Outland. This ruin had been studied for three years. During these three years, the military had paid a huge price to finally decipher some of the secrets of the ruin.

It could be confirmed that this ruin belonged to an ancient civilization, which fell into the category of technological civilization.

There were also some alarm and defense mechanisms at the periphery of the ruins. Martial artists who underwent a second life transition or above would encounter violent attacks and could not enter at all.

Hence, they could only send some ordinary soldiers and martial artists with one life transition into the ruins.

For three whole years, the military had been preparing to enter this ruins in the future. Now, the preparations were almost done. Lin Hai had caught the “last train”. If he had been any later, Operation Wall Breaker would have officially begun.

However, no one would think that Lin Hai was lucky, because Operation Wall Breaker was highly dangerous. It was very likely that all the martial artists participating in this operation would be annihilated.

“The military will provide you with a lot of support, but there’s a high chance that there will be defense mechanisms inside the ruins. Therefore, once you enter, the military will no longer have any ability to support you. You can only rely on yourselves for everything.”

“General, we promise to complete the mission!”

This time, the military had invested heavily. They sent a total of 20 Metamorphic Realm martial artists and 80 elite soldiers, all of whom were professional martial artists.

They formed a 100-men team to explore the ruins.

As the direct person in charge of this Operation Wall Breaker, General Long was also under great pressure. However, these people were all his subordinates. He was not willing to let these people die in vain.

“Remember, your own safety is the most important thing!”

With that, General Long saluted the 100-men team. Operation Wall Breaker officially began. The 100-men team began to carefully walk into the ruins.

Lin Hai was among the people. He paid close attention to his surroundings. This ruin was located in a valley and was very well-concealed. If not for the fact that the frontline military base had accidentally discovered this valley while fighting dire beasts, they would not have found this ruin.

Too many people had dedicated effort into this ruin. Even Lin Hai had been secretly participating in this study. The resources he obtained far exceeded other soldiers of the same rank.

After enjoying the benefits, one naturally had to bear the responsibility.

“Wai, do you remember when Scar died? This ruin has a defense mechanism, but it also seems to be divided into several levels. They will be divided according to our numbers and strength, and the corresponding defense mechanism will be activated.”

“Of course I know. Haizi, we have to be careful. At critical moments, don’t think about the mission. Staying alive is more important than anything else!”

Wai was not pedantic. They were soldiers and would obey orders, but they still had to complete the mission while ensuring their own safety.

Swish. Suddenly, a red light flashed at the entrance of the ruins, accompanied by a strange sound.

Lin Hai and Wai’s expressions changed drastically. They suddenly bellowed, “Quick, charge through the door. The defense mechanism has been activated.”

The defense mechanism of the ruins clearly activated much earlier this time than the previous few times they explored.

Everyone immediately rushed towards the door, but there were also some who did not manage to charge through the door in time. With a flash of red light, countless red lasers formed a net that instantly enveloped eleven soldiers.

Thump. There was no luck. The 11 soldiers were minced into flesh and blood, falling to the ground outside the ruins.

Everyone’s heart skipped a beat. The moment they entered the ruins, they had already lost 11 men in a team of 100 men. Now, there were only 89 men left.

Fortunately, nothing happened to the 20 Metamorphic Realm martial artists. They were the main force of this small team. If they wanted to explore the ruins, they would have to rely on the Metamorphic Realm martial artists.

“According to the plan we formulated previously, this ruin clearly belongs to a technological civilization. There must be a control room that can control all the defense mechanisms in the ruin. We have to find the control room first.”

Lin Hai’s gaze swept through the ruins in search.

There were many secret rooms of various sizes in this ruin. Some looked like halls, some looked like residences, and there was even a map.

This made it convenient for Lin Hai and the others to find the control room from the map.

However, they needed to pass through many areas for the control room, and these areas were extremely likely to be dangerous. But with the way to the control room in sight, how could they not go?

Hence, the team of 89 people set off again. They observed their surroundings cautiously.

“Wai, be careful.”

Lin Hai realized that there was a faint green light sweeping past on the pathway. Shocked, he immediately yanked Wai back. It was this yank that pulled Wai back from the brink of death.

Where the green light passed, 13 soldiers, including two Metamorphic Realm martial artists, were directly vaporized. That’s right—they were directly vaporized and turned into ashes.

How horrifying was this power? Just the thought of it made one shudder.

There were only 76 people left in the team, but everyone’s hearts sank. How was this a ruin? It was clearly a deadly purgatory.

“We’re almost there. We must be almost there.”

Lin Hai’s palms were sweating. They were getting closer and closer to the control room. There were all kinds of traps along the way. By the time they successfully reached the control room, only 39 out of the 76 people were alive.

This was a heavy loss, but Lin Hai and Wai were both lucky enough to arrive at the control room.

The control room door was closed and could not be opened. Fortunately, they were carrying enough armaments. The highly concentrated bombs were enough to blast a building to pieces.

Even if the metal in this ruin was very special and had strong defenses, they did not believe that it could not even blast open a mere door.

But the question was, who was going to blow up the door?
