Delta: I have a 1-Haf Coin instant kill system!

Gunfire erupted outside the Tower of Babel, and Hamk's men were pouring into the main entrance from all directions.

The machine gunners at the main gate set up their machine guns and opened fire, but there were simply too many people on the other side, and the defensive line was being torn apart layer by layer.

Zhang Zhao crouched on the watchtower platform, and the Relink brain-computer interface deployed to detect the positions of Gu and Rometheus.

The two were moving quickly along the west wing corridor. Gu's right hand was always on Rometheus's lower back, where a gun could be seen being pressed.

"Claw, cover me!"

He muttered something under his breath, tossed an M7 to Hazha, and then black mist enveloped his entire body.

"Received." Hazrael didn't say anything more, caught the M7 combat rifle, and cocked it.

The next second, Zhang Zhao disappeared from the watchtower platform.

On the first floor of the west wing of the Tower of Babel, the Gu creature advanced rapidly, clinging to the wall.

Rometheus was half-pushed and half-dragged forward by her, his steps somewhat unsteady.

"You knew Hamk would come?" Gu lowered his voice, the muzzle of his gun never leaving Rometheus's waist.

"I expected someone to come, but I wasn't sure who it was," Rometheus said, his voice slightly breathless.

"Hamke, GTI, or whatever other faction—it's all the same to me!"

"You're quite open-minded."

Rometheus glanced at her sideways. "I'm used to it."

The two turned a corner, and at the end of the corridor ahead was an emergency escape door.

Gu pushed open the door, and the sight outside made her pupils shrink sharply.

Several gray-red figures were flanking them, the closest of whom had already reached the bottom of the steps.

"Go back!" Gu grabbed Rometheus.

But then came a series of hurried footsteps from the other end of the corridor behind them; it was Hafk's men arriving.

She was caught in a pincer movement, trapped in the middle.

Just then, a black mist condensed and took shape beside the Gu, and Zhang Zhao stepped out from the void.

Without saying a word, he took two M7 combat rifles out of the system space.

He tossed one to Gu, then shouldered the gun with the butt of the gun pointed forward.

Before the gray-red figures could react, gunfire erupted, and precise bursts of fire brought down the three closest figures instantly.

"Go! I'll cover your retreat!"

Zhang Zhao did not turn around; a second wave of pursuers had already surged in from the other end of the corridor.

Zhang Zhao was wearing special Shadow equipment, so Rometheus didn't recognize him at all.

Rometheus remained motionless throughout.

He simply couldn't understand what this thing that had suddenly appeared in front of him was!

people?

But this outfit...

And what's with this teleportation and telekinetic manipulation technique?

Without hesitation, Gu dragged Rometheus through the emergency escape door and rushed toward the outer wall of the Tower of Babel.

There was a relatively open space there, which was not yet completely surrounded by Hamk's men.

Zhang Zhao remained in the corridor, firing his M7 in alternating bursts, pushing back every figure that tried to cross the corner.

He moved extremely fast, each step finding him in the blind spot of the opponent's firing line.

Relink brain-computer interface clearly projects all the dynamics of the surroundings into consciousness.

However, the enemy had too many people. As soon as he knocked down one group, another group immediately surged up, and the enemy's firepower continued to increase.

A stray bullet grazed his left arm, tearing a gash in his suit sleeve.

However, Zhang Zhao was wearing special Shadow equipment underneath, so he was not injured.

Without pausing, Zhang Zhao took half a step back, clenched his hands in front of him, and with a flick of his arm, a cloud of black mist swept past and landed at the corner of the corridor.

The black mist exploded, and the gunfire paused briefly for two seconds.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Zhang Zhao turned around, and black mist once again enveloped his entire body.

......

On the other side, Gu dragged Rometheus through the emergency escape door and rushed out of the Tower of Babel.

The gunshots were heard some distance away on the open, gravelly ground.

She quickly scanned her surroundings and determined a relatively safe evacuation route.

However, she had only taken two steps when the shouts of battle from the direction of the main gate of the Tower of Babel suddenly rose.

Immediately afterwards, a deep voice resounded throughout the area through some kind of loudspeaker—it was Hamk!

"Dr. Rometheus! I know you can hear me!" The voice carried a sense of composure.

"I've come today to invite you to be my guest."

"Furthermore, Hafk has suffered under me, Asara, for far too long! This land, Bakshi, should have a new master from now on!"

Before he could finish speaking, several sharp whistling sounds rang out simultaneously from different directions.

Gu's pupils constricted sharply—it was the sound of explosive fuses being ignited, and not just in one place!

She turned her head sharply, her gaze sweeping over several key points around the base of the Tower of Babel.

Those locations are now flashing a faint red light!

Hamk planted the explosives in advance, and the setup took much longer than they anticipated!

"Get down!" Gu shoved Rometheus to the ground, while simultaneously shielding him with her body.

Almost simultaneously, a massive explosion erupted around the Tower of Babel.

An orange-red fireball, carrying concrete fragments, shot into the sky, its shockwave sweeping across the surrounding area.

Immediately afterwards, more than ten explosion points on the west, north, and south sides were triggered in succession, forming a zone of destruction.

The glass curtain wall of the lobby on the first floor of the Tower of Babel shattered into millions of pieces in an instant, and scalding hot air mixed with debris rushed into the room.

The Hafk soldiers who were trying to organize a defense in the hall were instantly blown away.

The Bald Squad—the elite guard brought by Hudson, composed of the Primal and his clones—reacted the fastest.

Seconds before the explosion, the Primal had already turned sharply to the side, tackling Hudson to the back of the seat. Then, countless clones rushed forward to block the explosion with their bodies.

But the shockwave, carrying fragments, swept across.

More than half of the clones were unable to escape, and the elite team of over a hundred people was instantly wiped out by more than half in the explosion.

Outside the Tower of Babel, Hamk's grey-red army also failed to escape.

To ensure the encirclement was tight, he deployed his troops too close to the base.

The shockwave from the explosion indiscriminately engulfed everything; the first few hundred soldiers were swallowed by flames and debris.

Those behind were thrown over by the shockwave, their formation completely collapsed, and cries of agony filled the air.

However, Hamk himself was unharmed.

He stood atop a towering pile of molten metal several hundred meters away, holding a detonator in his hand, staring expressionlessly at the sea of ​​fire.

Behind him, Reis and Said stood side by side.

Near the epicenter of the explosion, Gu shielded Rometheus with her body, taking the brunt of the impact.

She was struck simultaneously by gravel and a wave of heat.

She groaned, her body suddenly tilting forward, spitting a mouthful of blood onto Rometheus's white coat.

Her suit jacket was torn open on her back, revealing the scorched bulletproof lining underneath, with several metal fragments deeply embedded in her flesh.

She struggled to sit up, but her arms gave way and she fell heavily onto the gravel ground.

Just as her consciousness began to fade, Zhang Zhao stepped out of the void.

He had just escaped the Tower of Babel through a process of soul separation when he witnessed the entire explosion.

Without pausing, he picked up the Gu with one hand and grabbed Rometheus with the other, dragging him toward nearby cover.
