Chapter 545 Destruction of the Base
What is showing off?
When everyone thought that the “Hairy Team” was the one to solve the strange disaster, their “Yang Wang Star Gazing” team appeared, showing up in the hall of the Huoling Town Association with their loot.
All the mages waiting in the hall to see the style of the “Hairy Team” looked quietly as the three walked into the hall and handed over the task.
After the association confirmed that the pig’s head was indeed the head of the strange source beast, they quietly watched the three leave.
Then the entire hall erupted with noise.
“Is this the Hairy Team? Why don’t they have much fur, just three kids with barely any hair!”
“Nonsense! How could three barely grown kids be the Hairy Team!”
“Damn! Why isn’t the one receiving the task from the Hairy Team? Who are these guys popping out of nowhere? They seem pretty powerful.”
“I heard there was a team that clashed with the Hairy Team over loot before, could it be them?”
“Hiss—thinking about it like that, it’s quite terrifying! The Hairy Team couldn’t possibly be…”
“No way! The Hairy Team is said to have mages with mysterious origins.”
“I asked, the team that handed in the task is called the ‘Yang Wang Star Gazing’ team, seems like I’ve heard of them somewhere.”
“Huh, sounds like the team that solved the ‘Nowhere to Escape’ disaster a year ago!”
“Hiss—”
“The Hairy Team has stirred up big trouble!”
…
After Ah Xing came out, he laughed heartily, “Great! So damn great! Much better than seeing cute girls in town.”
Ah Wang chuckled, “But I still think seeing cute girls is better!”
“It just shows that you, Ah Wang, haven’t grown up yet!”
“Tch!”
“Ah Yang, what do you think, is doing tasks cool or seeing girls cool?”
Su Hao: “Reading books is cooler, isn’t it?”
Ah Xing and Ah Wang: “???”
Ah Yang is weird!
Just then, Yashan suddenly sent a message: “Boss Wei, the base has been destroyed, Feng Cheng and I almost died! I’m taking Feng Cheng away first…”
Looking through his perspective, Su Hao saw Yashan and Feng Cheng both transformed into “Child of Fates,” with blood stains everywhere, the entire base was in chaos, as if it had experienced a world-shaking battle.
Without time for further questions, Su Hao immediately said to Ah Xing and Ah Wang, “Ah Xing, Ah Wang, I have urgent matters to attend to, you guys head back to Huai Shui Town by yourselves, don’t wait for me!”
With that said, he swiftly dodged behind a wall, transformed into a “Child of Fate,” and then teleported to Yashan’s side.
Instantly, he set up a “Counter-Space Barrier”!
At the moment of appearance, a radar sweep revealed no obvious enemies. Glancing around, he saw only chaos and heard faint mechanical sounds.
Yashan and Feng Cheng both had their limbs severed and lay on the ground, their Diamond Armor rapidly repairing their bodies.
Not understanding what had happened, but now wasn’t the time to ask questions, Su Hao said directly, “Yashan, I’ll take Feng Cheng away, you should teleport away by yourself first! We’ll talk about the other matters later.”
Reaching out to grab Feng Cheng, intending to teleport away with him, but as soon as his hand extended, the extremely hard Diamond Armor on his arm showed numerous scars, countless pieces of Diamond Armor shattered, and blood sprayed out.
His hand was injured!
Su Hao’s heart trembled, “How could this happen! The ‘Counter-Space Barrier’ failed! Who…”
Not only had the “Counter-Space Barrier” failed, but the “Fragile Defense” attached to his armor had also been ineffective. This was the second time he had been breached since gaining so much defense!
He instinctively pulled back his hand, but in the moment of withdrawal.
“Pluff!”
His entire arm was suddenly severed and fell to the ground.
Ah flash of realization crossed Su Hao’s mind, immediately judging the current situation: “Bizarre disaster! The base has encountered a bizarre disaster!”
Unbelievable!
He had long anticipated that something strange would happen, but he never expected it to come so suddenly, and most frustratingly, it happened directly at the base.
When he originally chose the location for the base, he didn’t have any particular thoughts, just thinking that this place was relatively concealed and suitable for Yashan and Feng Cheng to stay temporarily, so he chose it, never expecting that a strange disaster would occur here!
At this moment, Yashan reacted and exclaimed, “Boss Wei, don’t move for now!”
Feng Cheng also anxiously said, “Any movement or gesture will cause inexplicable attacks on the corresponding body parts. The Diamond Armor can’t defend against it, and the more intense the movement, the stronger the attack.”
Yashan added, “After a while, even staying still will attract attacks.”
After the base was inexplicably attacked, Yashan and Feng Cheng’s first reaction was to find the enemy who dared to destroy the base. However, when they took a few steps forward, their feet were inexplicably severed, raising their hands caused their hands to be severed as well, frightening them into not daring to move.
Sure enough, after stopping, their bodies were no longer injured.
At this point, Yashan was thinking about how to take Feng Cheng away. According to Boss Wei’s instructions, when encountering unknown situations, teleporting to escape was the right move.
When he thought that as long as he didn’t move, everything would be fine, in less than ten seconds, he was attacked all over, his body in complete disarray. If it weren’t for the strong vitality of the “Child of Fate,” this wave could have taken him away.
“Let’s leave first.” Su Hao didn’t have time to think much, nor did he try to reach out anymore. Instead, he used a short-range flash to appear next to Feng Cheng, stood beside him, and then teleported away with him.
At this very moment, Yashan had also finished preparing for teleportation and disappeared on the spot.
In an instant, the chaotic base became deserted.
A few seconds later, the walls and floors of the base suddenly collapsed, as if they had been cut and pierced by countless invisible long swords, quickly filling with smoke and dust.
After a while, the commotion subsided, and it became quiet once again, with only debris littering the ground and pockmarked walls.
The assembly line machinery that had just been installed in the base not long ago was already in disarray, completely scrapped.
The painstakingly manufactured spirit pill assembly line was gone just like that.
Su Hao and his companions floated in the sky several kilometers high, overlooking the position of the base with a far-seeing rune.
Yashan exclaimed, “So this is a bizarre disaster… truly bizarre, and impossible to guard against!”
Feng Cheng chuckled, “When I first heard about bizarre disasters, it seemed quite novel. But when it actually happened to me, I realized how terrifying it was! When my hands and feet were cut off and fell to the ground just now, I was stunned.”
Su Hao said, “Before the outbreak of a bizarre disaster, there’s simply no way to guess how it will manifest. It’s truly unpredictable and impossible to guard against. When you’re unlucky, you don’t even know what hit you. This time, the range of the strange disaster was only five hundred meters, much smaller than what I encountered before, but its intensity was extremely high, causing extremely strong destruction within its range!”
Yashan asked, “Boss Wei, what should we do now, leave it alone or deal with it?”
Su Hao replied, “Deal with it! After the bizarre disaster is eliminated, it will leave behind a source artifact, which can be used for experimentation.”
Excitement appeared on Feng Cheng’s face, “Should we enter and deal with it inside, or just level the base directly? If we throw ten thousand explosives down, the strange disaster should be gone, right?”
Su Hao laughed, “If only it were that simple. It’s said that destroying the ‘core’ of the entire strange disaster will likely cause the strange disaster here to transfer to another location and regenerate. Of course, it could also spread out. Therefore, the correct way to deal with the disaster is to follow the methods of this world. They have experienced countless years of strange disasters, so they are definitely more adept at handling them than we are.”
Feng Cheng asked, “Then how do we find the ‘core’? Boss Wei, should I give it a try? I think I can do it!”
Su Hao laughed heartily, “I’ve seen many people who think they can solve strange disasters, but after entering them, they never come out again! Of course, they were all like you, thinking they were the special one.”
Feng Cheng said awkwardly, “I really thought I was the special one!”
Su Hao said, “Rushing in recklessly is dangerous and unnecessary. Moreover, although strange disasters seem dangerous, once you know their triggering mechanism, the danger is greatly reduced. So, the correct way to solve a strange disaster is to gather intelligence and understand the triggering mechanism.”
Both of them asked curiously, “How do we gather intelligence?”
Su Hao glanced at Yashan, revealing a mysterious smile, “Yashan, don’t you remember that I used to be a powerful summoner?”
Yashan’s eyes lit up, “Boss Wei, are you planning to cultivate a large number of specialized small animals for detecting strange disasters?”
Su Hao nodded, “Exactly! So, Yashan, Feng Cheng, I’m assigning you a task. Go catch some snakes, mice, rabbits, and other small animals for me now. Let them figure out the mechanism of the strange disaster for us, and then we’ll go deal with it.”
