Chapter 229: Attackers
But even with concerns in his heart, Mr. Immortal couldn't possibly desert his post. After all, this was live broadcast, with several cameras set up. If he ran, he could absolutely forget about staying in this Nation.
He glanced at the teenagers beside him, who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Mr. Immortal sighed inwardly. These Children weren't afraid, and he, an Old Relics who had lived for hundreds of years, couldn't possibly hold them back. Besides, with his near-immortal Self-Healing Ability, there was no Reason in this World for him to be afraid of anything.
Having figured this out, Mr. Immortal asked Squirrel Girl Eileen to contact the Support Staff and have them come to take away the injured. There might be a big battle later, and once it started, they definitely wouldn't be able to take care of these Ordinary Person. It wouldn't be good if they were affected.
"Support Staff will arrive in about five minutes," Eileen said after finishing the communication.
"Are we going to wait for them?" Robbie asked from the side, but the anxiety in his Eyes betrayed him.
There was no way around it. He finally got a good job, and Robbie didn't want the other party to run away. Wouldn't that be all for naught? But Robbie couldn't openly urge them either, the Camera was still on.
Mr. Immortal pondered for a moment and said, "No need. Since the Culprit only knocked them unconscious, there's no Reason for them to come back and Damage them a second time. Splitting up Manpower might fall into the other party's trick, being defeated one by one. Let's continue forward, and absolutely do not separate."
"Roger!" everyone replied, especially Robbie, whose Corner of Mouth was almost grinning to the back of his Head.
Under Mr. Immortal's leadership, the New Warriors steadily advanced while staying vigilant.
And the Culprit of all this, Yang Le, was leisurely observing every move of the New Warriors in the Monitoring Room. However, Yang Le was just watching, without any intention of making a move.
After almost half an hour, when the New Warriors were finally about to reach the Laboratory on the Top Floor, Yang Le knew it was time for him to act. Then, he disappeared from the Monitoring Room.
Robbie felt that today might be his worst day. As they went deeper, they did encounter quite a few Ordinary Person who had fainted along the way, but they just didn't encounter the Culprit. Seeing that they were about to reach the last floor, if a Bad Guy still didn't pop out, not to mention the Audience, he would be bored to madness.
The other members were the same as Robbie, more or less having some small emotions. If it weren't for the fact that there were indeed many people who had passed out along the way, they would have thought they had been deceived.
Only Mr. Immortal's expression was as usual, constantly vigilantly observing his surroundings. After all, he was someone who had lived for hundreds of years, and his mental state was naturally not comparable to young people like Robbie.
"Rustle."
A rustling Sound came. This Sound didn't escape Mr. Immortal, who hadn't relaxed. He raised his Hand to signal everyone to stop and carefully observe their surroundings.
Seeing that there was a situation, the members of the New Warriors also perked up.
"Rustle."
Another rustling Sound. This couldn't escape Squirrel Girl Eileen's Ear. She immediately pointed forward and whispered, "It's in the Room in front."
Just as Mr. Immortal was about to assign Work, Robbie took the lead and opened the Gate.
'Bad!' Mr. Immortal's pupils shrank. The Gate in front was obviously the Security Door of the Laboratory. Generally speaking, without an Access Card or Key or something, it definitely couldn't be opened. But now it was opened so easily by Robbie, this was obviously abnormal.
Originally, he wanted to go ahead himself to see if there was any danger, but Robbie's rash action ruined his Plan. This was very likely to put everyone in danger.
'I must scold Robbie severely later.' Mr. Immortal gritted his Teeth. Now was definitely not the time to reprimand Robbie. Helpless, he could only follow Robbie.
Seeing Mr. Immortal move, the others naturally followed. Everyone walked into the Laboratory together.
Unlike the bright Corridor outside the Door, the Laboratory was dim, as if someone had deliberately made it so.
Robbie grinned widely. He felt that soaring to success was today.
"Smack!" "Ouch!"
Robbie covered his Head and turned back, seeing Mr. Immortal's serious Face.
"There won't be a next time," Mr. Immortal said sternly. It was only because Robbie's Ability could protect himself. If it were someone else, Mr. Immortal wouldn't be so gentle.
Robbie scratched his Head, knowing Mr. Immortal's meaning, and quickly nodded in agreement. The other party was his Captain, and one of the five giants. Robbie was not qualified to give him attitude.
Mr. Immortal glared at Robbie again, and then looked towards Eileen on the side. Just as he was about to Opening his mouth to Ask, an unexpected change occurred.
*Whoosh!*
Night Thrasher heard the Sound of Air Being Torn. Just as he was about to react, he felt something wrap around his Leg. Immediately following was a huge force that lifted him upside down.
"Whoa!"
Night Thrasher exclaimed in surprise, immediately attracting the attention of the others. When they turned back, they only saw Night Thrasher hanging upside down in Mid-air.
"Namorita!" Mr. Immortal quickly reminded Namorita on the side. Among them, only she had Flight.
"Leave it to me!" Namorita agreed, opening the Wings at her ankles and flying towards Night Thrasher in Mid-air.
However, the rescue certainly wouldn't be so simple. Again, several Sounds of Air Being Torn, and several dark shadows quickly attacked Namorita in Mid-air. Namorita had no choice but to retreat and dodge. Namorita was not a newbie after all. While dodging, she got closer and closer to Night Thrasher in the Air.
Night Thrasher didn't just sit and wait for Death either. He took out a Blade and cut at the thing wrapped around his Leg, but found that the thing was exceptionally tough. His Specialized Battle Suit Blade couldn't even cut through it.
Seeing Namorita getting closer and closer to Night Thrasher, the thing that had wrapped around Night Thrasher actually smashed Night Thrasher directly towards Namorita. The latter was caught off guard and hit squarely. The two of them fell to the Ground together, smashing a lot of Equipment.
"Rita! Night Thrasher!" Eileen shouted worriedly.
"I'm fine!" The Atlantean's super physique prevented her from being injured by such a small matter. She immediately got up. As for Night Thrasher, although he was just an Ordinary Person, he was wearing a Specialized Battle Suit, and with Namorita as a meat shield, he was also uninjured and got up as well.
Mr. Immortal stared intently at those few twisted things. Because the Room was dim, he couldn't see the True identity of the attackers clearly. This undoubtedly added a lot of difficulty to the upcoming battle.
But he didn't expect that those few twisted things actually wrapped around each other right under his Eyes, slowly piecing together into a Humanoid shape. But it was still too dark. Mr. Immortal could only see a few faint White Light on the other party's body.
At this time, Microbe, who had been silent all along, found the Power Switch of the Laboratory. As he pressed the Switch, the Laboratory was instantly filled with light.
The members of the New Warriors were finally able to see the True face of the attackers. The attackers were actually... a... Mummy!?
