In the middle of the night, all was silent.
A group of people in the dark, their silhouettes ghostly, footsteps light, walking silently.
After a full day of covert observation, they had already pinpointed the exact location of the enemy.
The military port was not a solitary harbor.
It served as a supply center for warships, as well as a maintenance and repair center.
In addition to fuel storage tanks, there were also material reserve warehouses, an armory, a repair factory, and a naval military factory, with the Barbarians and those monsters all situated in the factory area of the port.
Unfortunately, their position was far from the armory.
Otherwise, they could simply detonate it, sparing them the trouble.
…
Minutes later, they hid behind a fixed missile defense installation, carefully observing.
A group of Southeast Asians armed with rifles stood on the rooftops on either side of the factory, vigilantly monitoring the surrounding area.
Luckily, those standing guard were all Southeast Asians; neither the Barbarians nor those monsters were present.
"Don't alert them!" Luo Jingwen said coldly, in a low voice, "Move quickly, follow my lead."
Chen Shouyi and Zhu Xueqing nodded, without speaking.
The Southeast Asians were positioned in scattered locations, enough for seven or eight spots, all visible to each other. As soon as one spot had trouble, warning signals would likely follow immediately.
Taking advantage of the momentary distraction of the Southeast Asians, Luo Jingwen quickly said.
"Now."
The three immediately darted out from behind the missile defense installation, swiftly moving forward.
Before any gaze could sweep over them, they quickly dashed to the back of a big tree, avoiding detection once more.
The operation went smoothly, and within minutes, the three had reached the vicinity of the factory where the Barbarians were located.
The guards had already been changed to Barbarians here.
Evidently, the Southeast Asians were only responsible for the perimeter.
Chen Shouyi thought deeply, it seemed the relationship between the Barbarians and the Southeast Asians wasn't as close-knit as imagined!
However, the discipline of the Barbarians was far worse than that of the Southeast Asians.
Of the twelve Barbarian guards, ten were sitting on the ground snoring, only two were still awake, but their eyes were half-open, half-closed, clearly not able to hold out for much longer.
The factory's gate was wide open, inside there were many sleeping Barbarians on the ground. The presence of monsters wasn't visible; either they weren't there or were far away from the gate.
The three of them cooperated swiftly, and the Barbarian guards were easily dealt with, without making much noise.
Then they entered the factory.
The factory was tall and spacious, covering about five or six acres, filled with many machine tools, and in the center stood a rusty giant propeller.
On the left side of the factory, twenty-one monsters folded their wings, squatting on the ground, wrapping themselves up like giant eggs.
Additionally, there were seventy or eighty Barbarians.
All were fast asleep.
The group exchanged glances, faces showing joy,
Luo Jingwen gestured for Zhu Xueqing to stay in place and watch the entrance, in case someone suddenly came inside, and then signaled Chen Shouyi to follow. They tiptoed towards the group of "giant eggs."
The factory, which should have been tidy, had now turned into a huge garbage dump, with the air filled with a strong stench and urine smell. In one corner, Chen Shouyi even saw several piles of excrement, and not far away, a mountain of white bones.
At this moment, a Barbarian scratched his groin, snoring stopped, and he groggily sat up, seemingly ready to relieve himself.
Chen Shouyi swiftly leaped forward.
His hands silently grabbed the neck from behind, twisting forcefully.
The sound of breaking neck bone in the thin air created by the Wind Control ability was barely audible, mixing in with the continuous snores, without attracting attention at all.
Chen Shouyi observed for a moment, seeing no further movement, then laid the still convulsing body slowly onto the ground.
After returning, Luo Jingwen glanced at him in surprise; he was planning to deal with it himself, but the other party had already acted first, and had handled it cleanly and quietly, without causing any disturbance.
This teammate seemed to be performing unlike an ordinary new martial artist.
However, now was not the time for inquiries.
Half a minute later, they reached one of the "giant eggs."
The wings covered in yellow-green fine scales glowed faintly in the dark, emitting a suffocating aura.
Even squatting down, these monsters were about three meters tall and two meters wide, quite large; of course, the two-meter width referred to the area covered by the wings.
They walked around the giant egg once and then stopped.
Luo Jingwen gestured for Chen Shouyi to stay alert, observing the surroundings.
Seeing Chen Shouyi nod, Luo Jingwen slowly drew his sword and approached the giant egg.
He took two steps, suddenly leaped lightly, aimed his sword at its head, and stabbed it. The fleshy wing was instantly punctured, and the sword blade went straight to the hilt. The giant monster did not make a sound, its massive body convulsed violently, unable to stand any longer, and was about to collapse.
Chen Shouyi frowned and immediately stepped forward, trying to support it.
However, as soon as he made contact, his face changed dramatically!
This giant monster weighed six to seven tons, and with his strength barely reaching two tons, even just dragging it was an extreme effort. It wasn't until Luo Jingwen came over to help that they managed to lower it slowly together.
Luo Jingwen had a hint of a smile on his face. This is the meaning of having good teammates.
It's not necessary to have strong combat skills. In special situations, being able to provide support and prevent problems before they occur is enough.
The main battle can be left entirely to him.
One!
Two!
Three!
...
The two continued in the same way, extraordinarily smoothly, and soon solved seven giant monsters without any danger.
The bloody smell in the air grew stronger.
However, at the eighth monster, something unexpected happened.
The giant monster whose head had been pierced did not die completely. It wobbled, trying to stand up.
With sharp eyes and quick reflexes, Chen Shouyi leaped up and sliced its half-brain from the back. Yet it was futile, as its body was already mostly upright. Wounded heavily, it staggered and crashed into a nearby CNC machine tool.
The tremendous impact sent several screws fixed between the machine tool and the ground flying like bullets. The friction between the machine tool base and the ground produced a sharp, screeching sound.
In an instant, the entire factory was in an uproar.
The Barbarians and giant monsters awoke instantly.
Luo Jingwen's eyes widened with anger, his hair standing on end.
These colossal beings, with long strides and great speed, would be impossible to escape from, except by fighting desperately once discovered.
Seizing the moment when one giant monster had just woken up, he dashed forward, executed a slash with his sword, then turned back and shouted desperately, "You two get out of here quickly!"
As he turned, he was stunned to find Chen Shouyi's body rapidly enlarging. His clothes began to tear apart, becoming strips of fabric that slowly floated to the ground.
"Damn Alien Race!"
A thunderous roar brought him back to his senses, followed by the sight of a massive hand passing through the blurred, distorted air, reaching toward him.
Luo Jingwen focused, no longer daring to be distracted. He instinctively dodged while his long sword, like lightning, cleaved through the air, severing two fingers of the giant monster.
This is the scariest aspect of large creatures. Even if you leave them many wounds, unless you strike fatal weak points like the head, throat, or heart, they're useless. And these weak spots are often too high.
Even though a Martial Artist could jump that high, they become a sitting duck in mid-air with no ability to evade.
The giant monster groaned in pain, quickly withdrawing its hand as if shocked, then casually grabbed a machine tool weighing several tons and hurled it at Luo Jingwen.
"Boom!" A loud explosion resounded.
The ground was smashed into a large pit.
Countless parts whistled and flew like missiles.
Just as Luo Jingwen dodged, another massive giant monster raised a huge foot, stepping toward him from behind, like stepping on a mouse.
Only when he sensed the intense wind behind him he quickly dodged.
Before he could take a breath, another one joined the battlefield.
In just a few seconds, virtual sweat broke out on Luo Jingwen's forehead, and his heart sank to the bottom.
If it was only one, he was confident he could quickly handle it.
With two, there was a certain danger, but as long as he seized the opportunity, he could kill them as well.
But with three, he could only dodge their attacks with all his might.
In reality, more giant monsters were already surrounding them, roaring loudly, trying to join the battle. However, their size was too large, and there wasn't enough space for them to squeeze in.
He was completely surrounded. Defeat and death were only a matter of time!
"Damn it! I don't know if Zhu Xueqing managed to evacuate. I hope she remains rational. Intelligence is more important than our lives!" At this moment, Luo Jingwen's greatest regret was agreeing to take risks with them. He really shouldn't have harbored any illusions.
As for Chen Shouyi, he didn't think of him.
Even as a peak Martial Artist himself, struggling under the siege of giant monsters, he assumed the other had likely already sacrificed himself.
The roars of giant monsters, screams, curses, the collision of flesh and ground, and the whooshing of air, all kinds of deafening noises, threatened to blow off the factory roof.
Utterly focused, dodging giant monster attacks with precision every second, Luo Jingwen didn't notice that the number of giant monsters intensely surrounding him was gradually decreasing.
It seemed they were being drawn away by something!
