Chapter 352: Silver Bay Base
As the leader of the assassin organization, Fang Chang was in a tough spot, but he didn’t let it bring him down.
Even in the worst situation, he sought a glimmer of hope.
At this moment, despite his tough talk, he actually wanted the pilot inside the mecha to show up.
As soon as the other person stepped out of the mecha, he would launch a sudden attack, even if it meant risking everything.
Right now.
Perhaps thinking victory was assured, hot steam spouted from behind the mecha. The mecha opened up, and the pilot inside the mecha was about to come out.
Fang Chang couldn’t help but focus all his attention on the head of the mecha.
Just then, the mecha’s hand suddenly rose, wielding a gleaming sword, sweeping through with a loud whoosh.
By the time Fang Chang realized, he was a beat too slow.
He only managed to shrink his body back, but then, the world in his eyes started spinning.
Fang Chang saw the night sky illuminated by flames, and saw rain lines falling from the sky.
Then he saw a headless body step back a few paces, standing on the ground, swaying unsteadily, before collapsing.
At first confused, he then had a fleeting thought: that’s my body.
This was his final thought in this lifetime.
The back of the mecha opened up, Luo Yan jumped out and put on a wooden mask. He then walked towards Fang Chang’s body.
Inside the mecha, Luo Yan activated the ‘Unjustifiable Blaze Eyes’ and saw through Fang Chang’s intentions.
He intentionally activated the mecha to distract Fang Chang, then beheaded him with a sword.
That’s the end of it.
Luo Yan looked around and saw ‘Iron Horse’ Guan Peng, Team 7, and others gathering with their own groups.
They also defeated their own opponents.
Looking at the ruined beer factory, Luo Yan crossed out the name of the organization ‘Mysterious Tiger’ in his mind.
With ‘Mysterious Tiger’ gone, Liu Xiao lost an arm and the situation became more stable.
Even if ‘Mysterious Tiger’ wasn’t planning to help Liu Xiao this time.
But when they helped Liu Xiao deal with Luo Yan, and didn’t seek reconciliation like ‘Nine Phoenix’ did, it gave Luo Yan enough reason to launch tonight’s attack.
Luo Yan waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave first.
He used ‘Unjustifiable Blaze Eyes’ to scan Fang Chang’s body, then bent down and took out a password box from Fang Chang’s pocket.
The box had a fingerprint lock, so Luo Yan lifted Fang Chang’s hand and pressed it on.
Click.
The box opened to reveal a memory card with a label that read ‘Spell: Wind Clean’ and a number.
Luo Yan pocketed the memory card, threw the box on the body, and returned to his mecha, walking away.

On the same evening.
Once the Forbidden Area No 3 ‘Misty Canyon’, now just a deserted ravine.
But in the place where the Overlord Giant Beast fought that day, deep within the canyon, a patch of greenery has mysteriously grown.
On the grass, there are strange flowers blooming and young trees sprouting.
These plants emit an unusually sweet fragrance, and the surface of those young trees occasionally glimmers with a hint of crimson light.
This night, the full moon hangs high in the sky, with no clouds for miles.
So when a dark figure emerges from the distance of the canyon, soon, it casts a huge shadow over the land.
The figure seems to move slowly, but in reality, it is swiftly advancing.
Finally, they arrived at the canyon, under the strange flowers and grass.
Soon, the dark shadow shrank and a floating creature descended from the sky.
This huge creature, shaped like a shuttle, was almost 50 meters long from head to tail, with a large head, slender body, and overall anchor-like appearance.
It had four tentacles and a pair of dorsal and ventral horns on its head.
Its eyes were located below the head, with another mouth organ.
The body had three sections, with two long tentacles at the tail end.
This creature resembled a parasite on fish, known as an Anchor Head Flea, floating and moving in the air, opening its mouth organ to gnaw at a young tree.
In an instant, it swallowed the entire young tree, which was so small in its mouth not even the size of a toothpick, causing the eyes at its bottom to spin, appearing very excited.
Then, it raised its head, rhythmically closing and opening its mouth organ as if screeching, but no sound came out.
However, when the creature let out a loud cry, the clear night sky suddenly changed.
Thick clouds appeared out of nowhere, quickly covering the sky, blocking the moonlight, and casting darkness over the land.
Faint thunder could be heard coming from the dark clouds in the sky.
The strange creature floating on the ground seemed to be summoned by something, as their segmented bodies undulated and swam towards the sky.
It dove into the clouds and headed deeper into them. After a moment, a dazzling fin with colorful lights emerged in front of the strange creature in the dark clouds.
The fin was so large that the strange creature, which was as small as an Anchor Head Flea, seemed tiny in comparison.
Soon, the strange creature indeed resembled a parasite as it slipped into the seams of the fin.
And disappeared.

Silver Bay Base.
This base is located near the bay, and its predecessor was a simple seaside town.
There is a small harbor here, which was repaired after the ‘Beast Calamity’. The waves are hitting the pier, making a few small boats sway with the sea.
Most of the buildings near the bay in the small town were destroyed, damaged by a giant beast that came from the sea.
But the giant beast that came from the sea was eventually defeated.
Now, on the beach at the bay, the bones of the giant beast are still kept.
That place became a paradise for seabirds.
However, it is now winter, the sea breeze is cold, and the sea birds have disappeared.
Inside the base, there is a power plant that belongs to them, providing warmth.
This allows the residents of the base to survive the harsh winter. Of course, whether it is electricity or heating, it cannot be provided free of charge.
If they can’t pay, they will be kicked out of the base.
The base does not allow credit and there is no room for negotiation.
This is the norm on the surface.
There is no warmth or kindness here, only cold and cruel survival rules.
Luo Yan, wearing a cloak and a mask, walked towards the base gates, where several men with white hair, dark skin, and tattered clothes were pushed to the ground by soldiers.
“Please, give us a few more days.”
“We got hurt, but we’re getting better soon.”
“Once the injury is healed, we can earn money.”
“Please don’t drive us away.”
Luo Yan stayed silent in his heart.
On the surface, getting hurt may not lead to immediate death, but can gradually bring one closer to it due to various reasons.
Without stopping, he passed by these people, paid the fee, and entered the base.
Walking through the gate, Luo Yan’s first sight was a vast industrial factory.
Inside, there were food processing factories, water plants, and weapon factories.
They are the foundation for the base’s existence; without them, the base can’t function.
Luo Yan acted differently this time. Instead of being quiet, he stood out wearing a cloak and a wooden mask, drawing even more attention by walking in the middle of the street.
