Chapter 351: barging into the secret military base

A tense atmosphere filled the secret military base as the assassins all maintained stern expressions on their faces. As soon as the level 3 alert was sounded, every one of them became aroused and alert.

They didn’t receive much of an explanation from the higher-ups, all that they knew was that an enemy discovered their secret base and would probably try infiltrating.

The 2nd deep, as the second biggest secret military base of the old warriors club only behind the 1st deep, had a lot of methods to protect themselves, also to fight battles and hit hard.

As soon as the alert was sounded, the 2 guards that monitored the entrance became more alert. 3 of their companions came from inside shortly after to accompany them and make their work more effective.

They hid in the shadows, trying every means to hide from every possible angle that an intruder can get in with while their eyes remained trained on the small tunnel-like hole that led inside the base.

They tried to calm their nerves but they could not. For an opponent that warranted such a reaction from the higherups, he/she was surely not on the same level as the small fries that they were used to.

They felt like they were not going against a human, but rather one of the primordial exobeasts. Despite all the uneasiness in them, they diligently aimed their guns at the narrow tunnel leading inside the base.

Pa!

A crisp slap suddenly echoed around the originally silent entrance deep inside the rock. This made the other 4 guard’s eyes widen like green lanterns ready to purge the world of evil as they rapidly turned around.

Click!

The first guard who turned around pressed the trigger to shoot, but his eyes widened the next moment as just with a small gesture from this mysterious opponent, his gun got dismantled into parts.

With another sound of a crisp slap, the back of his head took in the impact as his eyelids became heavy the next moment. With a thud sound, he fainted and fell to the floor.

The next guard tried to shoot too but with a single movement, he lost his gun to this mysterious opponent. He was left standing like a fool. Taking examples from their 2 comrades, the other 3 guards decided to take the melee approach.

Another 3 crisp slap sounds followed, then 3 bodies fainted and fell to the floor.

Clark gently rubbed his hands, retrieved the key from one of the guard’s waists before moving closer to the door. His rubbing of hands did not have any significant meaning, it just looked cool and mysterious.

Thinking back to his dream when he just became a soldier, he could not help but think that he was finally fulfilling the dream of becoming a secret agent.

And, another notable fact was that he was now dressed in the same ninja-like assassin outfit as the 3 assassins wore minutes ago.

He was too lazy to bring out any of his weapons, he instead used only his hands to take down all 5 guards. It was a piece of cake achievement for him.

With a click sound, he smoothly opened the door before poking his head inside the survey the situation.

Tu! Tu! Tu! Tu!

He withdrew his head back the next moment, narrowly avoiding the bullets. Not deterred by this, he went inside more boldly. He entered the military base rolling, which enabled him to dodge the bullets.

The guards immediately changed their shot trajectory on seeing him again, but Clark reacted faster than they did.

Almost like the flash, he propelled himself up before jumping at the walls. Bullets hit behind him as he ran horizontally through the wall like a wall gecko.

When they brought their guns there, he dropped down again to dodge the bullets before smoothly rolling into their ranks.

They tried to tie him down with superior numbers with some of them already hauling fists and kicks at him, but unknowingly for them, Clark entering their middle already sealed their fates.

With movements as swift and natural as a fish swimming through water, he spanked their butts until they all lay down unconscious.

Almost immediately after he did this, he went on the run as his implant alerted him of danger ahead of time. Bullets flew down like the sand in a desert, submerging the corridor with their outrageous numbers.

On top of the corridor were installed mini-artillery machines. They rapidly shot bullets at the pace of a machine gun at the intruder, but Clark was always a step ahead.

Boom!

With one swing of his fists, the door that was before him got sent flying away. Entering the main underground hall of the military base deep inside the rock, Clark was not surprised that they were prepared for him.

Hundreds of assassin soldiers stood before him, forming a huge blockade with guns pointed at him from all directions. As soon as he appeared, as one, they all pulled the trigger and more bullets flew his way.

At the top of the main hall, platforms like balconies were erected where more soldiers shot at the intruder with much more clarity.

As soon as he saw the soldiers standing before him, Clark’s brain swirled at the speed of a computer as his implant quickly started projecting the battlefield to him in a 3d form.

Everything suddenly seemed to have been slowed down, his eyes could track the trajectory of the bullets. Then, quickly retrieving 2 daggers, he rolled forward straight to the closest cluster of soldiers.

Sounds of metal hitting metal reverberated as he parried the few bullets that he couldn’t dodge with his daggers. Against a 3rd rank high-grade soldier like him, the soldiers were just too disadvantaged.

In just a few seconds since he made his first move, he arrived before the first cluster of soldiers. With a roll followed by an upwards slam of his shoulders, he immediately created a path through the soldiers with brute force.

With the power akin to a lion among dogs, he bulldozed his way through. And with the finesse and technique akin to a cat among rats, he added a certain grace and preciseness to his movements.

[Ding! Master, the leader of this military base has been identified.]

[Coordinates…]

As soon as his implant hacked the defense of this base for the information that he needed, Clark’s attacks quickly turned from chaotic to organized with a clear direction in mind.

He bullied the soldiers like a big brother playing football with his younger siblings, dribbling through them like the legendary Lionel Messi cutting and slicing through a cluster of flustered defenders.

Having realized the direction that he was going to, horror visibly emanated from the soldiers as they intensified their efforts to tie him down but it was all to no avail.

Defense structures finally started being erected from the ground, prompting Clark to bring out his dual swords.

Due to their relatively inferior quality compared to his custom-made swords, only one swing was required on his part to cut them apart.

After 10 minutes of him drilling through the soldiers like a stern-faced instructor teaching recruits combat, he finally arrived at the leader of this base’s room.

Getting inside, he was surprised as besides the leader, 2 of the assassins that he chatted with previously in the day were here. The 2 of them and the leader of the base were currently holding him at gunpoint.

“Hi!” He flashed them a smile.

“W…, who are you?”

The leader finally found his breath. Despite his efforts to act distinguished, he could not stop his fingers that were grasping his gun from shaking.

As soon as Clark took a step forward…

Bam! Clang!

A faint line of smoke rose from the side of his drawn sword as he inclined his head to look at the side. He flashed the familiar lady a smile.

“Hi! Miss me?”

Estela who hid at the corner, holding a huge sniper rifle suddenly felt a horror that she’s not felt before since she was born engulf her heart. Her brain practically short-circuited immediately.

“Which alien is this?”
