Chapter 6, Codename: Noah! (Part 1)

Yao Yuan said no more and was the first to step into the elevator, followed closely by four others, among whom was Hei Tie with Zhang Heng

Yao Yuan rubbed his aching head, steadied himself, and silently calculated how many meters he had descended underground at that moment: one hundred, two hundred, three hundred... Until he reached nearly eight hundred meters below ground, the elevator doors finally opened completely, revealing seven or eight corpses lying in the corridor ahead, riddled with wounds.

The crowd rushed straight into the base through the main gate, led once again by the elite squad headed by Yao Yuan, while the formation that followed was an assault formation focused on the proximity of firepower.

Yao Yuan carefully surveyed his surroundings, while the four individuals behind him tightened their grips on their weapons and began to stand guard. After a few minutes, Yao Yuan finally said to one of them: "You go up and call them down. By the time you get up there, it will probably have been five minutes. I wonder if they will do something foolish. Go on, go on."

Yao Yuan felt a surge of joy, but he still maintained a serious expression and said: "Then it is you! Remember, when you are cracking the password later, there may be attacks coming. However, look closely; in front of that electronic station, there are no corpses or bloodstains. Clearly, the attack does not come from the door, but rather from the sides of this corridor. We will all stand in front of you. Unless we are all dead, you will not die! We only need you to obtain the password and open the door! This is the only requirement!"

Yao Yuan was taken aback for a moment; he did not show any contemptuous expression. Instead, he nodded to the young man beside him. The young man directly took out a dose of morphine from the package and said to Zhang Heng: "I will inject you with a small amount of morphine. It won't induce hallucinations, and it will enhance your attention in the short term. However, you need to be careful; it cannot be sustained for too long, understand?"

It was not until this moment that Yao Yuan took Zhang Heng and the teammates to the electronic station. Subsequently, all the personnel began their respective preparations, first piling the corpses in front of them as makeshift battlefield facilities, and then checking their weapons, dividing into teams, and determining their respective defensive fire directions.

Zhang Heng stared blankly at the electronic screen, his face filled with sorrow. He wanted to say something, but Yao Yuan, with a serious expression, said: "I won't say any threatening words, because we are all people who have nothing to lose. I will only say this... your father loves you. To ensure your survival, he stood out among thousands of people at that time, drawing attention. The danger he faced was greater than you can imagine. You must complete this task, as long as we get inside... Alright, I will tell you, there is a spaceship inside. As long as you enter it, we will definitely rescue your father and take you all away from Earth! Your father loves you. To ensure your survival, he stood out among thousands of people at that time, drawing attention. The danger he faced was greater than you can imagine. You must complete this task, as long as we get inside... Alright, I will tell you, there is a spaceship inside. As long as you enter it, we will definitely rescue your father and take you all away from Earth! Tell me, do you want to save your family?"

Only after two more individuals entered did Yao Yuan finally press the sole button for the elevator to descend. Instantly, the metal columns closed in, appearing seamless, leaving the people inside the elevator feeling somewhat anxious.

Yao Yuan directly interrupted him, saying: "Heitie, I do not wish to explain! This is an order!"

Yao Yuan quietly observed until, after a considerable amount of time, all the team members had arrived. Only then did he share his observations and analyses, and afterward, he silently turned his gaze towards Zhang Heng

Attack! As a Black Star!

Then the only opportunity

Deep within the earth, there is only one corridor, extending straight ahead. Behind this corridor, aside from this elevator, there is a vast cave. The cave is pitch black, but it is evident that it has been artificially constructed, as the ground is made of concrete pavement. The pavement gradually rises, seemingly forming a major thoroughfare that allows vehicles to drive directly from the surface to this base.

While Yao Yuan was speaking, he followed the footprints and bloodstains on the ground, moving forward. He arrived in front of one of the large pillars in the hall, and then he began to circle around this shiny metal pillar. After a few laps, he started to examine the pillar closely.

Yao Yuan turned back and exchanged a few glances with the others, then said directly: "I will take four people down first. If this elevator does not come back up within five minutes, or if it comes back up and there is not a single person inside, then it indicates..." At this point, Yao Yuan was at a loss for how to continue.

In the midst of the voice, Zhang Heng let out a gasp as if to vomit, but upon being glared at by the imposing figure, he surprisingly managed to hold it back, though his face turned a shade of both green and pale.

In an instant, bullets were fired simultaneously

In fact, Yao Yuan was quite aware that there was basically no danger inside the elevator, because the people who had died previously, along with the corpses outside the base, clearly did not account for all the members of the Longxing team. Some members must have died within the true interior of this base, and then a dozen or so took the opportunity to escape and boarded the elevator to the hall. However, it is very likely that there are other channels in the hall that connect to the actual internal base, allowing the intelligent machines—those shattered metal spheres—to appear directly in the hall. The corpses he saw at that time seemed to be in a state of panic. In other words, ... some members must have died within the true interior of this base, and then a dozen or so took the opportunity to escape and boarded the elevator to the hall.

The corpses he saw at that time seemed to be in a state of panic. In other words, ... the attack should have come from all directions ...

Only after everything was completed did Yao Yuan nod at Zhang Heng. At that moment, Zhang Heng had already connected the signal interception device to the electronic platform. When he saw Yao Yuan nod, he took a deep breath, placed one hand on the laptop, and with a soft sound, the computer screen lit up. At the same time, a sharp noise erupted throughout the underground passage, and spherical objects began to emerge from the walls.

Yao Yuan shook his head and said: "Zhang Heng will stay up there, Hei Tie, you are responsible for protecting him, that's it."

The person immediately bowed respectfully and hurriedly took the elevator to the upper hall, while Yao Yuan did not act rashly, merely gazing at the metallic gate in the distance of the grand corridor

The teammate next to him appeared very handsome, exuding a certain pretty boy charm. However, he had only a small portion of one ear left, which completely marred his appearance. This man walked directly to the pillar and sprayed a bottle of white aerosol from the package onto the smooth metal column.

Yao Yuan looked at the only protrusion beneath the gate, which was an electronic input platform. This should be the electronic password device connected to the gate. If the correct password is entered, access will be granted. However, if the wrong password is entered... it is very likely that the fate of the Longxing Special Forces will become their own fate

Victory is worth dying for!

Zhang Heng quickly nodded, obediently extending his arm, and the pale-faced individual injected a needle into his arm, administering a small dose of morphine.

Beside him, the tall and dark figure named Black Iron directly lifted him and said: "How disgusting, it seems you lack training. Next time, I'll throw you into a pile of corpses for a few days and nights, facing maggots while eating. By then, you won't feel like vomiting anymore"

Yao Yuan understood that compared to the four major Dragon-letter special forces, the Black Star Special Forces were actually somewhat inferior in strength. The key reason was their limited number of personnel, which at their peak was only a little over twenty. Moreover, their weaponry and equipment were not on par with the other four teams. Overall, they had still suffered a political disadvantage, and the strength of the Black Star Special Forces should not differ significantly from that of the four major Dragon-letter special forces.

At this moment, Zhang Heng was so frightened that he was dumbfounded. He quickly shook his head and said, "I am just a small hacker who plays with data. No, no, my dad didn't deceive you. I am indeed very skilled with computers, but playing with three computers is just for gaming. Although I can perform multi-threaded attacks on program data, my proficiency is not the best in China, and I hardly have any ranking in the world..." When Zhang Heng saw the expressions of those around him darken at his first sentence, he realized what was happening and hurriedly began to explain.

Zhang Heng could not withstand the oppressive atmosphere, so he quickly turned his head and said: "The, the third..."

The entire base was shrouded in darkness, but as the crowd stepped inside, the passageway immediately brightened. The light sources here responded to sounds and other stimuli. Upon entering the base, one would find a large hall, followed by several passageways and staircases. At first glance, it resembled the ground floor of an ordinary building, with nothing particularly unusual about it.

However, no matter what, at this moment, Yao Yuan was truly vigilant. He was not fighting alone; the lives of more than a dozen companions were at stake, and it could even affect the survival of thousands of people in the future. He could not afford to be careless!

However, in this hall, there were seven or eight corpses, some with shattered bodies, others with dismembered remains, all exhibiting extremely tragic appearances. Upon witnessing such a scene, everyone couldn't help but furrow their brows. Zhang Heng, overwhelmed by the sight of blood and gore, vomited loudly, nearly collapsing to the ground.

Yao Yuan walked directly in front of Zhang Heng, gazing intently into his eyes and said: "What is your ranking among hackers in China? Answer me honestly!"

He paused for a moment and retorted, "But, old captain, isn't this kid proficient with computers? Perhaps what is needed below is..."

This metal gate is extraordinarily massive, standing at approximately 50 meters in height and over 100 meters in width. A person standing beneath the gate appears almost like an ant. Furthermore, this gate operates on an electronic password system. The thickness and material are unknown, but just from observing the external structure of the gate, it is evidently designed to serve as a protective entrance for an underground base against nuclear warfare. Even a tactical nuclear missile striking it directly might not be sufficient to breach this gate. While a strategic nuclear missile could potentially destroy it, frankly speaking, they do not even possess C-series high-explosive bombs at this moment, making it utterly impossible to blow it open.

Given the strength of the Longxing team, their complete annihilation within this base is quite astonishing. One can only imagine how formidable the defenses of this base must be. Of course, it is also possible that the sudden attack on the Longxing team and the discrepancy between the base's password and the pre-set one contributed to this outcome

Tears immediately streamed down Zhang Heng's face, and he nodded vigorously. However, he still said, "Do I have any medication? Give me a pill; it will help me focus better."

After more than ten seconds, numerous visible fingerprints suddenly appeared on the entire column. Yao Yuan exchanged a glance with the young man beside him, and they carefully examined the fingerprints on the column. Soon, Yao Yuan began to press on the column, and after a few crisp sounds, the entire column suddenly opened, revealing an elevator inside.

Because this is already their last hope, and it may even be the final hope for humanity still remaining on Earth. Although it is unlikely to accommodate all surviving humans, at least this is the only way out. Therefore, even if it means facing insurmountable challenges, there is no other option to consider. Thus, it is imperative to push forward regardless of the circumstances.

Yao Yuan, without turning back, said: "Heih Tie, he is just an ordinary person, stop saying that... Let's go, we will enter the base"

He immediately straightened his legs, and with a sudden push of his heel, declared: "Yes! Obey the command!" After saying this, he led Zhang Heng out of the elevator
