The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

Of the ten bandits who landed, nine successfully self-destructed.

One after another, earth-shaking explosions caused the area around the research institute to shake continuously.

The defensive towers, formations, crossbows, and cannons that were just about to be activated were either blown to pieces or left incomplete.

Although not completely destroyed, Zhao Wuji's prepared lines were rendered inoperable at least 80% of their function.

Not only that, the bandits were now over level 20, and their self-destruction was much more powerful, affecting Zhao Wuji's side as well.

Although professionals are generally quite agile, there are always those who are slow to react, or those who get outmaneuvered by other bandits and can't escape.

So there were casualties, but not many.

The bandits' self-destruction broke the enemy's blockade of the research institute's entrance.

The road leading to the institute's gate was wide open.

Apart from Wang Miao, the other investigators from the Special Bureau took the opportunity to storm into the research institute.

After the bandits confessed, the comments in Monkey King's live stream chat were all in unison.

"These are bandits."

"It can't be wrong."

"It's definitely not a fake."

"Salute to the heroes who bravely sacrificed their lives!"

Monkey King was heartbroken as he watched the screen flooded with gifts.

"Bosses, I've already said, stop sending gifts. Can't you just transfer the money directly to our company account? We're really short on funds!"

There are thousands of brothers, and they usually go online to play games, get foot massages, play golf, bowl, go to bars, go to concerts, etc., so the budget is indeed tight.

The viewers in the live chat, because of their positive feelings towards the bandits, misunderstood Monkey King's words.

"Those bandits are truly great! They charge ahead, fight against evil forces, rescue people from the jaws of mutated beasts, and treat money like dirt!"

"We made such a big sacrifice, and all we wanted was to give a small tip, but they kept telling us not to."

"The streamer kept asking us how to turn off the tipping function. Seriously, I'm so upset, I could cry."

Monkey King was devastated and even considered smashing his phone.

As the people from the Special Bureau entered the research institute, Zhao Wuji roared.

"Don't let them in!"

Zhao Wuji ordered all security forces to do everything in their power to stop them.

But the bandits wouldn't just stand by and watch; they unleashed all sorts of skills to obstruct the enemy, and even rushed forward to cling to their legs, preventing them from harming the Special Bureau personnel.

"Let go of me!!"

"I won't give it up!"

"I'll beat you to death!"

"I don't need you to kill me, I'll just self-destruct!"

"Brother, spare me! I'm just an employee too. How about we pretend to exchange a few blows, then fight to a draw? That way my boss will know I did my best, and you won't have to self-destruct. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?"

"What a talent! Young man, you have the potential to join our bandits!"

"You flatter me. Actually, I have long admired your organization."

"Alright! Watch my Silver Light Slash!"

"Then I'll take your Triple Slash!"

"I'll try my 'Dragon Playing with Phoenix' move again!"

"Then I'll perform the 'Double Dragons Playing with a Pearl' move!"

Similar scenes played out on the battlefield.

"You bastards from the Special Affairs Bureau! Go in and find the evidence! We'll cover for you!"

The two investigation teams that had just entered the research institute were filled with questions.

"I admire the bandits' actions, but I don't understand what they're saying. Who are they calling bastards?"

Outside the research institute, a chaotic battle raged, the fighting was extremely "intense".

Bandits can easily defeat mutated beasts, but they struggle against second-class professionals who are also around level 20 or even 30 or 40.

In addition, there are several third-tier professionals among the elders and clan elders of the Zhao family.

They posed a great threat to the bandits.

However, these old guys were also cunning. They knew that the bandits could injure them with self-destruction, so they didn't get close and instead used mid- to long-range skills to attack.

Even if some bandits wanted to get close enough to self-destruct, their superior agility made it easy for them to keep their distance.

However, it should be noted that not all third-tier masters of the Zhao family possess ranged skills.

An elder, who only possessed melee combat skills, decided to risk approaching the bandits, intending to kill as many as he could.

Soon, relying on his extremely high agility and nimble movement skills, he successfully approached a bandit.

The claw-like weapon in his hand gleamed coldly, and he thrust it out with a claw.

If it hits, it will be fatal to both the data side and the biological side.

What happened next is something he will never forget.

Suddenly, a metal gauntlet appeared in the hand of this bandit. Judging from the golden afterglow on the surface of the gauntlet, it should be of legendary quality!

At the same time, various halos emanated from his body, as if he were wearing several rainbows.

"ha!!"

He roared and threw a punch, colliding head-on with the Zhao family elder's ultimate skill.

"Snap!"

The Zhao family elder's claw weapon was smashed in two on the spot!

The opponent's punches remained powerful, and despite the skill effects of the Zhao family elder, they pressed forward aggressively, unstoppable!

On the spot, they smashed the Zhao family elder's hand bones, arm bones, and shoulder blades, and even shattered the durability of his upper garment, turning his light armor into a pile of fragments!

"puff!!"

The Zhao family elder coughed up blood and flew backward, clutching his throbbing arm, staring in disbelief at the Lv28 bandit.

"This is impossible..."

The other party sneered.

"Come back if you miss."

The elder of the Zhao family trembled violently. Even though the other party was wearing a hood, he seemed to see the murderous aura that chilled him to the bone.

The elder threw a skill forward, creating a cloud of smoke, and then made his escape.

"Watch out! There's a super strong fighter among the bandits who annihilated the world boss last time!"

Upon hearing these words, the morale of the Zhao family's troops was thrown into chaos.

Even Zhao Wuji felt a jolt in his heart.

"He's here?"

Fortunately, he didn't seem to make a move after that, which calmed the Zhao family down a bit.

The "super expert" just now was none other than Song Gua, who used the power of unity.

Song Gua switched places to make a move, not only to save the clone, but also to intimidate the third-level experts present.

To prevent them from carrying out a large-scale massacre of the bandits.

The gauntlet that Song Gua was wearing just now was a clone wearing epic-quality gauntlets, created using the new talent "Weapon Master" obtained from the second job advancement.

When the boxing gloves were worn by Song Gua, they became legendary.

As for the rainbow, it was a buff or aura skill from the more than one hundred skills borrowed by Song Gua.

He activated all of them at once, further improving his data.

After stacking attributes, the spirit attribute is extremely high, and the mana also increases, so even after using so many skills, the mana is still plentiful.

After the power of unity disappears, the remaining mana will be restored proportionally and will not become negative.

The reason why Song Gua did not take advantage of the situation to pursue and deal with the other experts present was that...

It's because... Song Gua is very busy.

On a highway two kilometers from the research institute, a convoy from the Zhao family was overturned by a group of bandits.

The convoy carried more than two hundred members of the Zhao family.

They are the elite of the Zhao family, with most of them at level 20 or above and most having already completed their second job advancement.

"Ignore these bandits! Go support the research institute!"

A middle-aged man gave orders to the Zhao family members who were climbing out of the car.

"stop!!"

Wearing a red hoodie and a red Taoist robe, Brother Huozi, who breathes fire from his hands, descended from the sky!

The scorching heat radiated outwards from him in all directions.

Huo Zige clasped his hands together and made a sweeping motion in the air, creating a wall of blue flames on the ground that blocked the Zhao family's path.

"No one is allowed to leave!"
