American comics: I am full of martial virtues and I love to be kind to others.

“Sir, what can we do to retake the base?” one of the lieutenants asked.

"Do you know of any other areas within the base that might be resisting?" Lynn asked.

“There should still be some enemies in the command center,” the lieutenant recalled. “There are some of the most stubborn ones there—how should I put it, the most deeply controlled individuals. And the communications center may still be in enemy hands.”

“Excellent intelligence,” Lynn said gratefully. “Now you will join us to help clean up the base.”

Meanwhile, the main attacking force was making excellent progress. Colonel Santos reported the situation via radio: "The northwest line has been breached, and our tank units are advancing towards the core area of ​​the base. Enemy resistance is weak, consisting mostly of scattered individuals."

“It’s similar to the southeast,” Major Smith added. “Most of the enemies we’ve encountered have lost their coordination, acting like ordinary scattered soldiers.”

Lynn led his expanded team to begin clearing various areas of the base. With the help of the regained consciousness of the Brazilian soldiers, they had a more detailed understanding of the base's structure, greatly improving their operational efficiency.

“There’s movement at the medical center,” a Brazilian soldier reported. “There may still be people being held there.”

They went to the medical center and found that it was indeed holding about forty soldiers who refused to be controlled by the symbiote, as well as some civilian staff from the base.

"Thank God!" exclaimed one of the rescued doctors, "We thought we'd never be saved!"

“What happened? Why aren’t you being controlled?” Emily asked.

“We don’t know the specific reason,” the doctor replied, “but some people seem to have a natural resistance to those creatures. They tried to control us, but failed, so they locked us up.”

This discovery is significant. If a segment of the human population does indeed possess a natural resistance to symbiotic control, this will be invaluable for future defense strategies.

As more and more areas were cleared, resistance within the base weakened. Most symbiotes were either destroyed in the explosions or lost control of their hosts, and the few remaining individuals were quickly eliminated by the coalition forces.

"The training area has been cleared," Chen Kai reported via communicator.

“The barracks area is safe,” Carlos confirmed.

“The industrial zone has also been taken over,” Emma added.

The final resistance was concentrated in the command center. Here, about fifteen high-ranking officers, still strictly controlled by the symbiote, occupied the core area of ​​the command center, attempting a last stand.

"This is Colonel Santos," the commander's voice came through the radio. "The perimeter of the command center is under our control, but the core area remains enemy-held. Can you assist with the final assault?"

“Of course,” Lynn replied, “we’ll be there soon.”

When they arrived at the command center, they found it surrounded by Brazilian armored forces and international special forces. Several tanks and armored vehicles surrounded the command center, but considering the possibility of important equipment and intelligence inside, they did not use heavy firepower to attack.

"How is the situation?" Lynn asked Colonel Santos.

“There are about fifteen enemies inside, all high-ranking officers,” Santos reported. “They are resisting using the fortifications of the command center and seem to be maintaining some degree of coordination.”

“Perhaps it’s because their symbiote level is higher,” Dr. Banner analyzed via communicator. “Higher-level symbiotes may have greater resistance to explosive shocks.”

“We need to capture some live specimens for research,” Emily cautioned, “especially the advanced symbiotes.”

“Agreed, but safety first,” Lynn decided. “We’ll try to persuade them to surrender first, and if that doesn’t work, then we’ll launch a full-scale attack.”

Colonel Santos picked up a megaphone and shouted into the command center: "Listen up, you're surrounded! The base has fallen! Surrender is the only option!"

A cold voice echoed from the command center: "Humans, your victory is only temporary. The symbiote race will return, and this planet will belong entirely to us."

“It seems they have no intention of surrendering,” Major Smith said.

“Then we’ll launch a full-scale attack,” Lynn decided, “but we must try to preserve our equipment; we need that intelligence.”

The final attack began. This time, it wasn't a solo operation by Lynn's team, but a joint attack by multiple forces. The US Rangers were responsible for the frontal assault, the British SAS for flanking maneuvers, the French Foreign Legion for the outer perimeter, and Lynn's team for precision strikes using their special abilities.

Although the symbiotes in the command center still maintained a certain level of combat capability, they were quickly suppressed in the face of such a large-scale joint attack.

Chen Kai used teleportation to appear behind the enemy lines, Peter infiltrated through the ventilation system, Emma used an ice wall to divide the enemy's defenses, and Carlos's energy barrier provided protection for the assault team.

The battle lasted about thirty minutes, with the last five advanced symbiotes successfully captured and the rest eliminated in the ensuing resistance.

"Command center captured!" Colonel Santos announced excitedly. "Campogrand Military Base is completely back under our control!"

Cheers of victory echoed throughout the base. After several days of fierce fighting, humanity had finally succeeded in retaking the military base that had been occupied by the symbiotes.

Inside the command center, technicians began inspecting and restoring various equipment. Surprisingly, most of the critical equipment was intact, including a wealth of intelligence data on the symbiote's activities.

“These materials are invaluable,” Dr. Banner said, reviewing the documents via video link. “They contain the symbiotes’ global activity plans, technical data, and even historical records of their species.”

"Any important discoveries?" Lynn asked.

“Too much,” Banner said excitedly. “First, we’ve confirmed that the information you received from Zeta is largely accurate. Second, we’ve discovered the specific locations and scale of other symbiote bases.”

"what else?"

“Most importantly, we’ve found their weakness,” Banner’s voice was filled with excitement. “While symbiotes are powerful, they have a fatal flaw: an over-reliance on a collective consciousness network. Once this network is destroyed, they descend into chaos.”

“Just like the effect of the armory explosion today,” Emily understood.

“That’s correct, and we now have a way to artificially create this interference,” Banner continued. “Through electromagnetic waves of specific frequencies, we can disrupt their mental connections and restore consciousness to the controlled humans.”

This discovery will revolutionize humanity's strategies for combating symbiotes.

In the base's medical facility, Emily is examining the soldiers who have regained consciousness. The results are encouraging: most have no permanent physical or psychological damage.

"The memories from the period of control are indeed very vague, but the basic personality and skills are fully preserved," Emily reported. "And I discovered an interesting phenomenon."

"What phenomenon?" Lynn asked.

“Most people who can resist symbiote control have certain specific brainwave patterns,” Emily explained. “This is likely a natural immune mechanism.” “What does this mean?”

"This means we may be able to develop methods to prevent symbiote control," Emily said excitedly, "through training or drug treatment to enhance human resistance."

By nightfall, the entire base was completely under human control. More than two hundred soldiers and civilian personnel were rescued, most of whom had regained consciousness.

At the base's temporary command post, commanders from various countries gathered to debrief the operation.

"This operation was a complete success," Colonel Santos concluded. "We not only recaptured the base, but also obtained a wealth of valuable intelligence and samples."

“More importantly, we have proven that symbiotes are not invincible,” Major Smith added. “With the right strategies, humanity is fully capable of fighting them.”

"What was the key to this victory?" Colonel DuPont asked.

“Teamwork and courage,” Lynn replied, “and an accurate grasp of the enemy’s weaknesses. The explosion of the armory not only destroyed their material foundation, but more importantly, it destroyed their psychological network.”

“So what’s the next step?” Santos asked.

“Using the intelligence we’ve gathered, we can launch similar attacks on symbiote bases in other regions,” Lynn replied, “but this time we’re better prepared and have more effective weapons.”

“And we now know how to help controlled humans regain consciousness,” Emily added, “which will greatly reduce innocent casualties.”

While celebrating the victory, Lynn did not forget those who had sacrificed their lives in the battle. Although the operation was relatively successful, some Brazilian soldiers and members of the international forces still lost their lives in the fighting.

“We must remember those brave warriors who fought for freedom,” Lynn said at a brief memorial service. “Their sacrifice has brought us to today’s victory and paved the way for the future of humanity.”

The following morning, local media began reporting on the success of the military operation. Of course, the official narrative was a "counter-terrorism operation," and the true nature of the symbiote remained classified.

“The public doesn’t need to know about the existence of an extraterrestrial threat,” Santos said at a press conference. “But we assure the Brazilian people that the threat has been eliminated and everyone is safe.”

In the base's laboratories, scientists are studying captured symbiote samples. These samples will provide valuable data for developing new defense technologies and treatments.

“These advanced symbionts have more complex biological structures than we have studied before,” one biologist reported, “but we have identified some of their key weaknesses.”

"What is the most important discovery?" Dr. Banner asked.

“They are extremely sensitive to ultrasound at specific frequencies,” the biologist explained. “We can develop ultrasonic weapons specifically designed to combat symbiotes.”

This discovery will provide new weapon options for future battles.

Three days later, life in Brasilia returned to normal. The citizens had no idea how close they had come to an alien invasion, only occasionally talking about the loud noises and flashes from the "large-scale military exercise" in the suburbs.

At the FBI's temporary base, Lynn was preparing the next phase of the operation. Based on intelligence obtained from the base, they now possessed a detailed map of the global symbiote activity.

"How is the situation in London?" Lynn asked.

"British reports indicate a significant decrease in underground symbiote activity after our victory here," the correspondent reported. "It appears they do indeed have a global communication network."

"What about Tokyo?"

"The Japanese Self-Defense Forces have begun preparing for similar clearing operations," the communications officer continued, "and they have requested our technical support."

“Very good,” Lynn nodded. “It seems our victory is having a global impact.”

Alex walked over, holding a special report in his hand.

“Zeta has some news,” he said. “He’s very excited about our victory in Brasilia.”

What did it say?

"It says this victory proves the possibility of cooperation between humans and friendly symbiotes," Alex reports, "and it is willing to help us identify and connect with harmonious symbiotes in other regions."

“This would be a significant breakthrough,” Lynn realized. “If we can forge an alliance with the friendly symbiotes, fighting the Dominators will become much easier.”

Just then, Deputy Director Stone appeared on the screen via video link.

“Lynn, congratulations on your tremendous success,” Stone said with a broad smile. “This operation exceeded everyone’s expectations.”

“Thank you, sir,” Lynn replied, “but we know this is just the beginning.”

“Yes, so I have an important task for you,” Stone’s expression turned serious. “Based on the intelligence you’ve obtained, we’ve discovered a major base of the symbiotes in Antarctica. That may be their headquarters on Earth.”

“Antarctica?” Lynn asked in surprise.

“Yes, a massive facility beneath the ice,” Stone explained. “If we can destroy that base, we can end the symbiote threat completely.”

This will be a much tougher task, but Lynn and his team are ready.

"When do we leave?" Lynn asked.

“A week from now,” Stone replied, “you will have time to rest and prepare. This mission will be decisive.”

At night, Lynn wandered alone through the streets of Brasilia. The city looked exceptionally beautiful under the lights, and people went about their work and lives as usual, completely unaware of the battle that had taken place here just days before.

This is precisely the meaning of their fight: to protect this peaceful daily life, allowing ordinary people to continue their dreams and hopes without fear of external threats.

Back at their lodgings, Lynn found the team members discussing the upcoming Antarctic mission.

“This time we may be facing the highest command of the symbiote,” Sarah analyzed. “The difficulty will be many times greater than in Brasilia.”

“But we also have more experience and better equipment,” Peter said optimistically. (End of Chapter)
