Chapter 266: Chapter 267: Annihilation? Base City in Ruins!

Jianghai Base City, Conference Room.

After receiving the meeting notification, all the senior officials of the base city put aside their work and gathered here.

The Supreme Commander sat at the head of the table with a grim expression, exuding a low pressure and an aura of coldness.

The senior officials, seeing the Supreme Commander’s state, dared not speak to disturb him. The entire conference room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

After a long silence, the Supreme Commander, with a stiff face, raised his eyes to the crowd and said solemnly, "Today, I called you here to inform you about Captain Lin and his team’s situation..."

After just one sentence, the Supreme Commander paused, his mouth opened slightly, as if the next words were hard to say and couldn’t come out.

The crowd glanced at each other, already having a bad premonition. Captain Lin and the others had been out of contact for several days, and they had secretly guessed if something had happened to them.

Now, seeing the Supreme Commander like this, everyone felt a pang in their hearts, more convinced of their judgment.

"Supreme Commander, did the Sky Squad succeed?"

One senior official couldn’t help but ask cautiously.

At this moment, other senior officials also looked over, eager to know the answer.

After all, to clear out the Corpse King or suspicious Evolver in Jiangnan City District, Jianghai Base City had spent a lot and lost many excellent Evolvers.

This time, they even brought over the Sky Squad from the Imperial Capital.

If this time they still fail, then Jianghai Base City truly has no solution.

Upon hearing this, the Supreme Commander sighed, looked at the white-haired elder next to him, and slowly said, "Captain Zhang, please tell everyone about your team’s findings in the Jiangnan City District."

This matter was a huge blow to the Supreme Commander. The Sky Squad was one of the five ace squads in the Imperial Capital, and now that it was wiped out, he didn’t know how to explain to the Imperial Capital.

There were also the three elite Evolution Teams he had sent out to assist; they were all top-notch talents in the base city, and they were all gone at once, significantly weakening the base city’s Evolver strength.

"Yes!"

The white-haired elder stood up, saluted, and said with a serious expression, "Honorable leaders, our team has already scouted the farm. According to related clues, it seems the Sky Squad and the three elite squads have all sacrificed themselves.

We found several wrecked helicopters on the farm, and upon inspection, confirmed they were the ones Captain Lin and his team were using.

Additionally, we found some fragments of battle uniforms belonging to Captain Lin and others under the Demon Vine outside the farm, covered in blood, along with many bones left after the Demon Vine’s consumption."

Upon hearing such horrifying news, the conference room was immediately in an uproar. The previously quiet atmosphere exploded, and everyone showed faces of shock.

"What? All sacrificed?"

"How could they all be sacrificed? The Sky Squad had the ability to fly; even if they couldn’t win, they could have escaped! What on earth happened..."

"It’s all over, even the Sky Squad is gone. How powerful must the opponent be for Jianghai Base City to deal with such an entity."

"Damn it..."

"..."

The crowd discussed, their expressions turning to anger.

At this moment, someone hurriedly asked the white-haired elder, "Captain Zhang, what about the Corpse King? What about the little girl? Were they successfully executed?"

Although hope was slim, if Captain Lin and the others perished together with the opponent, they would at least find some solace.

Hearing this, Captain Zhang replied with a somewhat unnatural expression, "Leaders, our team did not find the little girl’s body on the farm, and not a single Evolved Zombie was seen, leaving the area empty, indicating a fierce battle had previously occurred.

Moreover, the battlefield showed signs of having been cleaned up, with traces of craters and bloodstains on the ground concealed, and signs of tidying inside the central farm house..."

Before Captain Zhang could finish, the meaning he wanted to convey was already clear.

That is, the Corpse King is highly likely still alive!

The counterpart is not only alive but has also left the farm, whereabouts unknown.

Immediately, the senior officials burst into heated discussions, their voices filled with both shock and anger.

"So you’re saying the Sky Squad and the three elite squads didn’t just suffer total annihilation without achieving anything, but they also let the Corpse King escape, and we don’t even know where they are now!"

"This is the incompetence of the Sky Squad; they boasted before leaving, claiming it would be a breeze, and now, not only have they been completely wiped out, but they also failed to kill the Corpse King.

Now, with the Corpse King vanished, how are we supposed to find them?"

"Indeed, this time Jianghai Base City has truly been sabotaged by the Sky Squad.

We initially thought they would resolve our issues, but it turns out they’re only adding to our troubles.

With the mission failed, the Corpse King is bound to resent Jianghai Base City. Once they grow stronger, how will we resist?"

"Alas, now Jianghai Base City is teetering on the brink. If we can’t locate the Corpse King soon and eliminate it before it fully matures, our base city will be threatened constantly..."

"..."

Bam!

"Enough! Everyone quiet down, complaining won’t solve the actual problem!"

Suddenly, the Supreme Commander slammed the table and sternly reprimanded.

Immediately, the conference room fell silent, and all the senior officials wisely shut their mouths.

"The Sky Squad, along with the three elite squads, couldn’t handle the opponent. Jianghai Base City has done its best. The most important thing now is to report the information to the Imperial Capital and request reinforcements again!"

The Supreme Commander’s heart was heavy as he spoke slowly.

With the current Evolver combat power of Jianghai Base City, even deploying all the Evolvers to confront the Corpse King might not suffice.

"Indeed, we have no clue where the Corpse King is hiding, meaning Jianghai Base City is constantly under threat.

Right now, our top priority is to explain the situation to the Imperial Capital and request support. Only then can the base city’s safety be more secure."

Deputy Commander Zheng on the left nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, the other senior officials also expressed their agreement, knowing that the security of the base city was paramount.

Not long after, Jianghai Base City sent the relevant information and request back to the Imperial Capital Base City.

The entire Sky Squad has been sacrificed!

The Corpse King has now left the farm, whereabouts unknown!

Additionally, requesting the Imperial Capital to dispatch reinforcements to Jianghai Base City as soon as possible!
