The crackling sounds echoed—electrical cables intermittently discharging, illuminating the dim corridor.
At the same time, it also lit up piles of meat chunks and floors stained red with blood.
Lifting her feet, Nashida Oriha could feel the slight stickiness of her shoes—the stickiness of blood.
Now, she, Little Hitsugi, and the foolish female police officer had all entered the underground area. This was indeed the "Syringe" stronghold.
Through this horrific scene, one could imagine this had been a massacre with no resistance.
This base probably didn't have a single survivor left.
"What is it, Little Hitsugi?"
Little Hitsugi suddenly became alert. Were there still living people?
Following the direction of Little Hitsugi's attention, Nashida Oriha operated her drone to approach, aiming the camera, then looking at the laptop screen in her hands—
"Wh-what is this?"
Nashida Oriha said in shock.
"Is this a demon?"
The female police officer's shocked words were indeed quite fitting for what Nashida Oriha saw.
Here was a dismembered corpse that looked very much like the demons from ghost stories—not the ghostly spirit type, but the monster type with horns.
"Is this a biochemical warrior that 'Syringe' experimented with using D99?"
Nashida Oriha also noticed some claw marks nearby, which matched perfectly with this demon's claws.
What left these claw marks was steel plating. Looking at such claw force marks, if this grabbed a human body, it would easily tear it apart.
However, such a monster was also easily dismembered by laser.
Following this corridor inside, they saw more cultivation tanks—ten in total, all killed.
Seeing that the computer here was still functioning, Nashida Oriha immediately went to connect it, hoping to obtain some data.
"Hmm?"
Hitsugi Sayo suddenly noticed something—it was a disc.
This thing seemed to have been deliberately placed here by someone.
Was this left by that person for them?
"Oriha, look at this first."
"Ah? A disc? Okay."
Inserting it, after finding it, clicking on the file revealed it was a video.
Opening it, they discovered this video was actually various surveillance footage from this base, compiled together.
So Oriha and Hitsugi Sayo clearly understood what kind of desperate force this base had faced.
"It seems he didn't clean up completely—someone escaped. No, it's more accurate to say they were lucky not to be in this base. This deliberately left disc is meant for the one who escaped disaster—Togo Reika."
Togo Reika was the "princess" of "Syringe," which is to say, the current leader.
So Oriha's gaze also turned to Hitsugi Sayo, because this Togo Reika likely had a relationship with Hitsugi Sayo.
Because Hitsugi Sayo's father, Togo Itaru, had now been confirmed as the founder of the "Syringe" organization.
Of course, this didn't mean Hitsugi Sayo was also part of the "Syringe" organization. She was merely used as an experimental subject by her already insane father, and was later discovered and rescued by Sister Yuko from Black Label.
And now this appearing Togo Reika also claimed to be Togo Itaru's daughter. Regarding this, Hitsugi Sayo had no memory of having a sister or the like.
She might be a daughter her father didn't tell her about and raised elsewhere.
Returning to the issue at hand, that man who demonstrated power that made even "Syringe" despair left this disc purely to strike at them and convey a message.
To put it simply and dramatically—insects, don't try to challenge heaven.
Well, roughly that kind of arrogant and proud meaning. But this was indeed fact, which would make the unwilling Togo Reika even more furious and unwilling, yet powerless.
This was also a kind of despair!
Black Label base.
Fiona Winchester, serving as chief of staff, once again learned about "Syringe's" actions through the satellite phone from Mikoto, learning about the drug-enhanced humans that "Syringe" developed through D99, with their demon-like appearance.
Although this guy was also easily killed by that Mr. Ejie, having already received assessments of that person's strength from Mikoto and Yuko, understanding the degree of injury this person sustained in killing this "Syringe" member, she knew just how powerful this "Syringe" member was.
Extremely dangerous!
If they wanted to kill the opponent, they would probably have to pay a heavy price.
And this wasn't even the main point. "Syringe" had angered that person, and Mikoto reported that the opponent had brought out armaments beyond this era and went to take revenge on "Syringe."
And now, less than half an hour later, she received reports from Hitsugi Sayo and Nashida Oriha, the content of which made her shocked again.
What a coincidence.
Also through Nashida Oriha's report, she learned about "Syringe's" experimental situation and understood what specific level they had reached.
If successful, in such a collapsed world, they might truly be able to dominate the world.
However, all of this was terminated in the womb due to the appearance of that Mr. Ejie, whose specific origins were still unknown, causing "Syringe's" beautiful dream to die before birth.
According to what Nashida Oriha told about the superhuman-like power the experimental subjects would gain once successful, it was terrifying. But under that Mr. Ejie's absolute power, it seemed rather laughable...
This further confirmed that this person's power had exceeded the range that Black Label could understand.
And with such power, he still wanted to cooperate with Black Label?
This was truly somewhat frightening.
Bed Lord City.
At the largest general hospital here.
"Success!"
Someone's excited voice rang out, and those expressions filled with anticipation and unease instantly became only the joy of fulfilled expectations.
Because the newly created medicine had been successfully tested. After a staff member took it and was scratched by a dead body, they were not infected.
"But can we leave?"
Under such good atmosphere, it was suddenly broken by such an anxious voice, and everyone became somewhat worried.
Because of the huge commotion about an hour ago, especially the explosion, it seemed to have startled most of the dead bodies in Bed Lord City, and now they had the hospital completely surrounded.
Looking around, there were dense waves of corpses everywhere, blocking all escape routes.
On the rooftop, Kiba Mikoto was searching for a way out.
She planned to try destroying a tall building to create a path by crushing through.
To destroy buildings, explosives would definitely be needed, but she had a special weapon in her hands—a weapon that the opponent had suddenly thrown to her before leaving.
The design looked very cyberpunk-style rugged handgun, but the bullets it fired were extraordinary.
And this thing produced terrifying recoil. She had previously fired a few rounds to handle some emergency situations, and the recoil nearly broke her arm.
Hmm?
Suddenly seeing a light point rapidly approaching in the sky, Kiba Mikoto was startled. Then her highly alert and tense body relaxed somewhat.
He had finally returned.
Next, she witnessed the power of the armaments on his body.
Hovering above the corpse tide that blocked the main road at the hospital's main gate exit, the armaments on his body emitted lines very obvious in the dark night.
Multiple light beams interweaved, appearing like a net that cut through the darkness and swept over the corpse tide. Then a scene that made her hair stand on end appeared.
Hundreds and thousands of dead bodies collapsed like building blocks, leaving meat chunks scattered across the ground like blocks!
This far exceeded the meat chunk hell he had created during his demonstration when he first arrived at the Takagi house.
This was genuine meat chunk hell.
At the same time, something had happened with another team.
