Chapter 3734: Sneaking In

Not good!

Something had gone wrong!

The guard’s pupils contracted sharply as he opened his mouth to shout.

But in the next instant, a black shadow swept past the edge of his vision.

The guard immediately felt a numbness at the back of his neck. He let out a muffled groan and his body went limp, losing all control.

Fang Heng caught him with one hand, slowly lowered him to the ground, then flashed past the alchemy magic array barrier outside the warehouse.

Inside the warehouse.

The Star Alliance elite squad that had been lying in ambush discovered that their communication system had been interfered with. The team leader, York, immediately ordered the squad into emergency combat readiness and set up an ambush around the warehouse entrance.

York crouched behind a cargo shelf, staring at the entrance with a cold glint in his eyes.

"Boss, has the prey entered?" the deputy asked in a low voice, his eyes filled with excitement.

York grinned slightly and made a "stand by" gesture.

They had waited a full six days.

Finally, the fish had taken the bait.

It seemed the rumors released by the dependents had worked.

Their luck was good.

Among the goods they were guarding, there happened to be materials belonging to the Black Fog faction.

All that was left was to wait quietly for the prey to trigger the alchemy magic array trap outside the warehouse.

"All units, listen up. Capture alive is priority," York licked his lips, his eyes gleaming like an old hunter waiting for prey to hook.

If they could successfully capture a live member of the Black Fog faction, it would be a great achievement.

Not only would they receive rewards from the dependents, but his promotion to deputy commander would be guaranteed.

"Click."

Suddenly, a faint sound came from the warehouse’s rolling shutter door.

Here?!

York’s pupils contracted as he tightened his grip on his beam weapon.

But then everything outside fell silent again.

York frowned.

What was going on?

Had the other side discovered the magic array trap? Had they given up?

"You’re waiting for me?"

A cold voice came from behind him.

York froze completely, his scalp exploding.

"Who?!"

He spun around and immediately aimed his gun behind him.

There was no one there.

"Bang!"

A heavy impact sounded from the right side, like something had exploded.

York turned his head.

He saw his deputy being sent flying violently. The protective helmet on his head had been completely shattered, and his head had been blown apart beyond recognition. He was dead beyond doubt.

"Hart!"

York cried out in shock.

In the next instant, a black shadow flashed past his side, so fast it was almost impossible to see, leaving only afterimages.

How was this possible?!

When had the intruder entered the warehouse?!

"The enemy is inside! Scatter! Stay alert!"

York instinctively roared.

But it was already too late.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!"

The sound of armor and helmets exploding rang out one after another.

The Star Alliance elite guards could not see the enemy’s figure at all. They could only hear the repeated bursts of shattered armor, and each time they looked toward the sound, another teammate was sent flying, their heads exploding horrifyingly.

Who was it?!

York’s scalp went numb, cold sweat streaming down his neck.

Where was the intruder?!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"

The explosive sounds continued for a full two seconds. York suddenly realized that everyone in the Star Alliance squad, except himself, had already fallen silent on the ground.

And from beginning to end, he had never seen the intruder’s shadow.

His legs began to tremble uncontrollably.

A massive terror enveloped him.

"D*mn it!! Then let’s die together!!"

York’s eyes turned red as he clenched his teeth and pulled a compressed bomb from his waist.

Before he could remove the safety pin, he suddenly felt blood rush toward his head, and his vision went black.

"Bang!!"

York’s head exploded, and his body fell backward heavily.

Fang Heng’s figure gradually appeared in the warehouse. He glanced at the fallen York, frowned slightly, then turned and walked toward the center of the warehouse.

The warehouse shelves were filled with boxes.

Each box had labels indicating material names, origins, grades, and timestamps.

Fang Heng walked to a row of shelves and glanced over them.

"Rare sealing materials, spatial transport materials, advanced alchemy magic array construction materials... not bad..."

Although this was not the shipment that had been confiscated from Charlene, its value was still considerable.

A small portion of these materials could also be used in constructing sealing arrays.

A faint smile appeared on Fang Heng’s lips.

"Heh, I’ll just pack everything up then."

He muttered softly as a stack of alchemy sealing rune papers appeared in his hand.

"Bang!"

The rune exploded in midair.

Dozens of Lickers burst out from the exploding rune. After landing, they quickly crawled toward Fang Heng, their bodies scraping lightly against the ground.

"Go."

With a thought, Fang Heng gave the order.

The Licker swarm immediately dispersed outward.

A portion climbed up the warehouse walls and into the ceiling, tearing open ventilation ducts with their claws and forcing their way inside.

Most of the others began digging directly into the ground.

The reinforced concrete floor was as soft as tofu under their enhanced claws, with soil and debris flying everywhere.

The last group of Lickers began forming flesh cocoons on the spot.

...

Perimeter of Sealing Point 18.

Guards had already surrounded the warehouse tightly.

The executive officer in charge of security at Sealing Point 18, Motuol, arrived quickly with Star Alliance elite troops.

Motuol was a member of a foreign race, tall in stature, with gray-green skin and eyes filled with suppressed excitement.

The prey had taken the bait!

Motuol turned to his deputy and asked in a deep voice, "Report?"

The deputy immediately reported, "The warehouse door has been forcibly locked from the inside. We attempted external authorization access, but all failed. All surveillance and communications across the entire site have been disrupted by an unknown force and are currently being restored. The York squad assigned to guard the warehouse interior cannot be contacted, and their status is unknown."

"Currently, security forces have surrounded the warehouse. Five main Star Alliance combat squads at Sealing Point 18 have assembled and are on standby. Additional perimeter reinforcement teams are still en route."

"Mm."

Motuol nodded lightly as he stared at the reinforced alloy door of the warehouse.

The warehouse had been sealed from the inside.

That meant the intruder was still inside.

Five minutes had already passed since communications were cut off.

The York squad responsible for guarding the warehouse still had no response after so long; it was highly likely they had encountered danger.

Were they taken hostage?

That suggested the enemy was strong.

But the question was: how had the intruder entered the warehouse?

There were multiple layers of sealing traps around the perimeter, and alchemy magic array sensors were installed on the goods inside.

Yet no alarms had been triggered.

Not even a sound had been heard from inside the warehouse until now.

Could there be an insider?

Motul suppressed his suspicion.

It did not matter.

The warehouse only had a front and back entrance. The rest was thirty meters of reinforced alloy walls, with sealing layers underground.

By sealing the main door, the intruder had essentially trapped himself inside.

Good!

A turtle in a jar!
