Chapter 368 - 368 252 Rescue Operation

368: Chapter 252 Rescue Operation 368: Chapter 252 Rescue Operation He was telling the truth, for Zhang Xiaoman did not plan to let this monster go.

Instead, he was prepared to follow the underground vines to find its true body, and then look for an opportunity to annihilate it.

Moreover, he had his own trump card; even if he encountered a powerful boss at that time, Zhang Xiaoman believed that with that move of his, he should be able to take it out directly.

However, he didn’t want to use that attack.

Because that move would not only cause great damage to his own side but would also have an unknown impact on the surrounding environment, even affecting a large area.

Outside, the vines once again took over the entire battlefield, encircling the Fire Python completely.

Seeing this, Xiao Man knew the opportunity had come and immediately controlled the giant snake to unleash a flame attack again, burning all the surrounding plants to ashes.

At this point, his Dark Energy had completely bottomed out, and the Formula for the Fire Python could no longer be maintained.

Using the last few points of Dark Energy to maintain the form of this Skill, he waited for a moment before he realized that no more vines were coming out of the ground.

It was only then that Zhang Xiaoman noticed the plants were starting to retract and retreat!

“Is this…

running away?”

He muttered in surprise.

Originally, his last area attack would have exhausted his Dark Energy.

He was also ready to find a place to wait for his Dark Energy to recover, but now he had not expected the monster to have fled first.

Watching the vines that were running further and further away, and gradually disappearing from the reach of Spirit Detection Technique, Zhang Xiaoman snapped back to his senses and hurriedly opened the window, leaping out with a single bound.

There, the Fire Python, like a victor, let out an inaudible roar towards the sky, began to dim gradually, and finally disappeared completely, leaving only the remains of scorching hot, molten rock fragments on the ground.

“Brother Man!”

Chu Liang was startled when he saw Zhang Xiaoman jumping out of the building and shouted, quickly running over to check.

However, just that brief delay was enough that when he looked again, Zhang Xiaoman’s figure was already gone.

“Finally, it’s all cleared up…

huh, has the snake disappeared too…?”

On the ground, the police officers breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene.

Although the support troops had already arrived at the scene, the terrifying Fire Python still made them feel anxious.

Even though the opponent had previously been helping them attack the vines, who could guarantee that it was definitely on the side of the humans?

What if the opponent was only fighting for food, then after winning the victory, wouldn’t it logically turn on them…

Therefore, everyone’s mood was extremely tense just moments ago, ready to deal with an attack from the Fire Python at any time.

Luckily, after flaunting its movements for a bit, it suddenly disappeared.

Everyone was unclear whether it had left or died, but at least it eased the tension in the air.

“It should have left, I guess…

Such a strong creature doesn’t seem like it would be so easily ‘taken care of’…”

In the crowd, two young police officers were quietly discussing this.

“No, I think, this thing doesn’t seem like a living entity at all, it feels more like those Fire Elements in video games, more like someone’s Summoned Beast…”

“A Summoned Beast?

But who could have the ability to summon such a powerful monster?

And aren’t we supposed to be in a world without magic?

Could it be that Spiritual Energy has really recovered?”

“Zhang Teng!

Wang Li!

What are you two muttering about there!

There’s so much work to be done on the scene, come and gather quickly!”

The voice of the captain came from not far away.

“Ah…

here we are!”

“…”

The situation at East Crossing Street seemed to have come to an end.

In the face-off between the Fire Python and the vines, it ultimately ended with the vines fleeing.

Of course, if the vine monster hadn’t run away, the only option left would have been for Zhang Xiaoman to flee since he was now out of Dark Energy.

He didn’t know why the monster chose to flee at the last moment.

Perhaps after such a long battle, the monster realized it couldn’t defeat its opponent and had expended too much strength, leaving it with no choice but to retreat first?

Zhang Xiaoman didn’t dwell on this question for too long.

Right after leaping down from the third floor, he had immediately made his way to the back of the building.

There, the Dawn was waiting for him in an open space.

He was now sitting in the anti-gravity car, looking down at the ground below through the window.

Under the perception of the Spirit Detection Technique, dozens of vines were frantically retracting as if they were fleeing for their lives.

“Hm?

Fleeing for their lives?”

Zhang Xiaoman suddenly furrowed his brow and murmured, “No, that’s not right.

It has no need to flee for its life.

The Fire Python has already vanished.

This seems more like it’s…going to reinforce?”

Meanwhile, at the Third Research Institute, nine armed squads had begun a full-scale tactical assault.

They were launching surprise attacks from the front, from underground, from the rooftops, and even from the windows, with their primary target being the plant heart located in Containment Room No.

2 on the sixth floor.

This intelligence had been provided by Mr.

Wen, who was trapped in a safe house.

After witnessing a series of events, Mr.

Wen naturally locked onto the prime suspect of the incident at the first opportunity, which was the plant heart that had been brought back two months ago.

Within the entire research institute, known artifacts in containment, only No.

2 fit the description of a plant.

Other than it, who else could it be?

Mr.

Wen hadn’t expected that the plant heart, which seemed to pose no threat, had secretly caused such a big mess.

It not only secretly infiltrated the entire base of the Three Institutes, but it also played weak to the enemy, accumulated strength, and then delivered a fatal blow, instantly conquering the entire Three Institutes.

Such intelligence, such methods, and such speed of evolution and spread, if someone told him that this creature was a Dominator Level being, Mr.

Wen wouldn’t doubt it for a second.

It was also at this time that he suddenly remembered that when No.

3 had been confined in its containment room, it had clearly shown a fearful reaction to No.

2.

It was just unfortunate that later, No.

3 died suddenly, in an inexplicable manner, which prevented his investigation from proceeding smoothly.

“Everyone, this operation is divided into two parts: decapitation and rescue.

If you have the chance, please kill the plant heart in Containment Room No.

2 on the sixth floor as soon as possible.

You might encounter strong resistance, so please be very careful!”

In the command vehicle, Hu Hu looked at the row of screens in front of him, his face extremely solemn and tense.

“First squad, second squad, third squad, you’ll enter through the main entrance, with priority on rescuing trapped personnel.”

“Ninth Squad, you enter from the rooftop, with priority on eliminating the target heart.”

“Fourth squad, you’ll enter from the southeast windows, prioritizing the rescue of Professor Wen.”

“Fifth squad, sixth squad, you’ll enter from underground…”

“Seventh Squad, Eighth Squad, you…”

“…”

Hu Hu confirmed the tasks one by one and then said to everyone:

“All personnel, during this operation, be very careful not to injure any of the research staff.

Our goal is rescue, remember, do not cause any casualties among them!”
