Chapter 1741 Hiding Among The Enemies
"Run!"
One of the guys shouted while looking back. They had set up a group of five to run away from the facility since their turns were about to come.
And due to the lack of command after Azka was taken down, they couldn't think of anything other than escaping. Some of them who stayed ended up getting found out and killed, so the only choice for them was to escape from there.
As expected, there were many experts chasing after them.
"We can't let them get away from here. Capture them no matter what."
"They're shifting their movement a bit."
There were a total of fifty experts, either Supreme Rank Experts or Mythical Rank Experts.
The enemies this time were simply too good at taking over one's body, so they needed the ability to fight them.
Of course, the one who supervised the surveillance was none other than the great King of Fighters.
He had shown his resolve when revealing the monsters in front of everyone, so he was going to hunt them down until they were completely wiped out.
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
A series of explosions occurred. No matter how hard they were trying to buy time, the experts from humanity would catch up to them.
When they captured them, they became merciless as they were crippled to make sure they couldn't use their limbs anymore to escape. The monsters tried to use their real form to distract them but to no avail.
The King of Fighters crushed them in an instant.
Still, their effort seemed to pay off. One of the monsters, whose current appearance looked like a young man, came out of the quarantine zone. His body was injured, but he didn't give up and continued walking in a certain direction as if he had another plan after leaving.
After a long three hours, a shadow suddenly appeared from the ground, turning into a human.
"Skarsaw!" The new figure frowned, staring at his condition. "What happened to you?"
"It's not good. I believe we have told you about it. The entire event was completely sealed off." He shook his head with a serious expression. "We have to get away right away. Judging from the situation, humanity's hero, Theodore Griffith, will make his move soon."
"What? Theodore Griffith?" The guy suddenly stepped back as if thinking he had lured Theo to this place.
"I don't know for sure, but there is a rumor that his speech has reached the ears of everyone involved there. I'm afraid we have to go back, not that way…" He pointed at the north as if implying the monster's territory.
"So, you're suggesting that we have to go back to the facility?" Another person asked. The group consisted of twelve people, so it was quite big and would have a harder time moving. However, they possessed a lot of firepowers that could kill a few Mythical Rank Experts.
Unfortunately, that wasn't enough if Theo was the one coming to them.
"If we go back to our nest, we might not be able to outrun him. So, it might be good if we go back to the facility."
"Now that I think about it, the last report stated that they haven't found anything about the lab, right? If that's the case, we can stay there for a while until some time passes."
"Yeah. That's probably the best option right now. We can use that time to think of a plan that can allow us to escape from this place."
"This is going to be tricky. If we wait too long, those humans must have spread their forces to prevent us from returning."
"Indeed. And we have to go back to inform you that the plan has been ruined by that King of Fighters. It seems beside Theodore Griffith, there is still someone who cares about this place."
"I thought all those humans were corrupt and simply accepted everything for their own sake. But the King of Fighters…. He was a formidable opponent as well."
"If only that King of Fighters didn't have any conflict with Theodore Griffith, they might create a good duo."
"That's not important right now. We have to decide whether we should go back or not."
"Then, let's just decide as usual. Raise your hands if you agree that we go back after all this."
Surprisingly, there were twelve votes, stating they wanted to go back since it seemed to be the safest way.
They exchanged nods since the group had agreed. This was the only thing they could do since they had no leader that would make a decision for them.
"What's the situation in the lab?" The guy, who escaped earlier, couldn't help but ask.
"We have killed all the humans participating in that research. We have crushed all their technology, so there's no way they could do anything. In other words, we'll be safe there."
The people nodded in agreement, knowing it was a safe place. They had just to hold on for a couple of days before making their escape.
"Let's go. We can't be here for too long. I don't know if those people are going to chase me again or not."
They looked at each other and agreed. Without hesitation, they took the guy back to the other facility.
No wonder it was hard to find, the base had a hidden entrance leading to the underground. Even the paths were filled with traps.
The guy was surprised to see a lot of corpses in this area.
But to his surprise, the moment he reached the laboratory, it looked fine. The machine might have been destroyed, but he should have no problem bringing it back to recover the data.
The monsters looked stupid, thinking they had destroyed everything if they just broke the machine. It seemed that the Vice President assumed the same thing. Without their leaders, the monsters wouldn't be able to do much.
That was why he managed to take advantage of them this whole time.
'So, that's how it is…' The guy thought while a sly smile appeared on his face, unknown to everyone.
Because the facility was hidden, it was also meant to be a perfect execution ground. And the guy, who managed to escape earlier, was not a monster but a human. And that human was staring at them from the back.
