Chapter 156: Chapter 142: Turmoil
“`
Dudu dudu~
The military camp alarm kept ringing.
Squads of soldiers began to converge, and there were even armored vehicles rushing towards Area B.
But as the camp was shaking internally, Tao Yu once again pounced on another squad, consistently imitating the attack of an alien in his demonized form.
Overall, he behaved like an irrational monster, traveling quickly by crawling, so as not to make anyone associate him with a special infected body.
What Park Ji-hyun said was right, Tao Yu’s monster armor could resist ordinary gunfire, but if facing the cannons on armored vehicles or even heavier firepower, it still couldn’t withstand direct hits.
Occasionally, a few hits could be evaded with the use of Shadow Force to shift physical attacks, but not many times, after all in this world stamina might recover, but Shadow Force was limited.
However, combining High Spiritual Perception with Inherent Time Control, Tao Yu’s few exposures were all effortless.
He even had time to hunt down captains by using his Dynamic Vision.
It was almost as if he had circled around the entire military camp.
Even without resorting to Shadow Evasion, just relying on his dexterity, mimicking the movements of the aliens everywhere, he still kept the Nan Bang soldiers tired from running around.

The various buildings and vehicles within the camp became natural covers.
“Over there!”
“Area C, Area C is under attack.”
Dada dada~
“Captain Kim is dead!”
“Damn it, where are the orders? Why are there no orders?”
“The command center was attacked! All the commanders are dead!”
Bang~ Bang~
“Now Captain Park is in charge of the coordination.”
“It’s back to Area B again.”
“On the roof, on the roof! Send the helicopter!”
“Rocket launchers, use rocket launchers! Bullets are no use against this thing!”
Boom~ Boom~ Boom~
Tao Yu deftly moved from rooftop to rooftop, then suddenly accelerated into a leap and landed on a helicopter that had just taken off, grabbing onto the helicopter’s struts.
With a flip, the force attached to his tail lashed fiercely against the glass.
The bulletproof glass of the armed helicopter instantly dented inwards, riddled with cracks, and with a few more kicks downward, the glass was lifted off, and then Tao Yu plunged into it.
Just as the helicopter started to fall, he jumped out again, rolled on the ground, and rushed under an armored vehicle to avoid the concentrated barrage of gunfire.
Then with just a few climbs over the wall from the rear, he arrived at another side…
“This feels nice~”
Dancing in the bullet storm, Tao Yu moved like walking on a tightrope, his mind exhilarated.
An abundance of stamina allowed him to rampage freely, suffering from overexertion before was really uncomfortable!
And the sensation of bullets grazing past in a crisis also gave him an unconventional thrill.
“If I were surrounded in an open area by them fully armed, I would probably only be able to run away with my tail between my legs, but as long as I have covers to maneuver around and ample stamina, it doesn’t matter at all.”
The cooperation of Spirit Perception and Inherent Time Control, plus his now agility and the tolerance for error brought by demonization, made Tao Yu feel like he was invincible!
In terms of firepower and strength, these soldiers combined could be said to have a crushing advantage, even if a group of tyrannosaurs charged at them, they could still subdue them.
But on the other hand, they were having a hard time dealing with a nimble unit like Tao Yu.
“Interesting, once the strength and endurance surpass a certain threshold, mass tactics against entities below a certain strength level become meaningless.”
Tao Yu brushed past a rain of bullets and again ducked behind a wall; with his strong stamina recovery, he was able to test some real combat practices that he wouldn’t even dare think about normally, to test his own limits and accumulate some experience in being besieged.
“Indeed, only by practicing can you clearly understand your weaknesses and strengths…”
Tao Yu pondered; he reckoned he was not any combat genius, and if he suddenly encountered troublesome situations, he might not be able to come up with the best solution.
Especially since he always aimed for fatal blows, he was completely inexperienced in dealing with group attacks.
The chaos in the military camp allowed Tao Yu to feel more clearly the difference between an individual and a group.
“If everyone in the camp reached the human limit in fitness, and their shooting reached level 4, I wouldn’t be able to act so freely, but obviously, they didn’t reach that quality…”
A collective attack is often high cost-effective, but the premise is that the individuals involved in the siege cannot be too inferior to the one being besieged!
“Therefore, the security teams have a minimum combat talent requirement, and they always have coordinated training; theoretically, the city’s security team could surround and kill any strong person in the city…”
Tao Yu emerged and attacked a group of captains in a command vehicle, and using the vehicle as cover, he actively entered the shadows from a visual blind spot.
Under the cover of a group of tense soldiers throwing grenades and firing grenade launchers, he moved even faster in the patchy view of the shadows.
He arrived at the entrance to the laboratory and directly crawled into the ventilation ducts…

They can take their time searching outside, now is the time to reap the rewards!
…
“Catch him, you must catch him, this is an intelligent special infected, different from the others, you’ve all been played!”
Dr. Ren kept watching the surveillance footage and incessantly ordered the Raven Squad stationed in the laboratory to hurry.
“Doctor, our mission is to protect the lab,”
a sergeant said with an ugly look on his face.
“What protection is needed here? This place is very safe! I need this experimental subject, for the sake of all humankind, you must go.”
Dr. Ren completely ignored the sergeant’s displeased expression, fixated on the playback on the monitors, his eyes filled with intoxication.
“We…”
The sergeant tried to say something more when suddenly, he flew backward as if hit by a cannonball and slammed into the metal wall beside him.
The next moment, the other soldiers nearby suffered the same fate.
Some were thrown against the ceiling, others plastered against the walls.
The last one was pressed to the floor by a claw.
In a second, all sound was lost.
Only then did Tao Yu look up at the doctor before him.
Although he wasn’t familiar with the storyline, through some of Park Ji-hyun’s words, and what they did to Nam Sang-won, Tao Yu knew this guy was no good.
“Constantly talking about saving humanity, why don’t you sacrifice yourself for a change.”
Tao Yu was still in his demonized state, the overlaid voices sounding particularly sinister.
Hearing Tao Yu’s words, Dr. Ren’s face showed even more fervor
“How marvelous, to be a special infected…”
However, as soon as his words fell, shlick—his arm was severed in response. He hadn’t even felt the pain when he saw Tao Yu, thumb at the ready, unlocking a silver briefcase.
“A vaccine?”
Dr. Ren was a ruthless man. Even when his arm was torn off, he bore it stoically.
His face just turned a bit pale as he watched Tao Yu open the vaccine.
“You want this, there’s plenty. Just cooperate and…”
Bang—
Before he could finish, his body was sent flying and then slammed against a wall, splattering it with blood.
His body slowly slid down the wall.
“Your thinking is too extreme,”
Tao Yu glanced at Dr. Ren, confirming from their brief interaction that he was indeed a fanatic, perhaps even a pervert.
However, due to his research on the vaccine and the data left from previous experiments, Tao Yu had no intention of killing him.
The reason he struck so harshly was not only because he disliked the pervert’s attitude but also because, by tearing the man’s arm, he realized that this guy was beginning to mutate, driven by emerging desires in his heart.
Surviving two hits was proof enough!
“Now, you’re a special infected yourself. If you want to research, use yourself…”
Such a fanatic should be able to control his desires with relative ease. With his knowledge on monster research, Tao Yu decided to sell him to the base for money.
Evil grinds on evil. This already mutating doctor, with extensive research data, sold to the company, would naturally meet their methods of disposal.
And the price would probably not be any cheaper than the Chosen One!
…
“Captain Park, B Sector is clear.”
“A Sector sweep complete.”
“C Sector also has nothing…”
Park Ji-hyun slowly became the highest-ranking commander, sat in the command center, and obtained temporary command authority. He began to issue various orders.
While reordering the chaos, he also began the search in earnest.
But the next moment, a riot erupted in the direction of the laboratory.
Bang—
Accompanied by the appearance of a giant muscled infected breaking through the wall, a swarm of imprisoned infected flocked there!
Fortunately, by that time the chaos within the base was largely under control, and there was a state of high alert, so the situation was quickly stabilized.
Armored vehicles advanced, in cooperation with flamethrowers and various weapons. These out-of-control experimental subjects were either extinguished or herded out of the barracks, leaving nothing but ruin…
