Meanwhile, Alan looked at Dr. Dale and said in a deep voice, "What exactly are you researching here?"
Dr. Dale sneered, "Is this something you should be asking about? A bunch of lowly scum!"
Alan replied, "I can tolerate your mockery, but don't forget that Rhine Company and the Android Alliance have signed an agreement. I've activated the recorder now, and everything you say, as well as everything in this place, will be recorded."
"Agreement? Alliance? Recording?"
Dr. Dale was stunned for a moment, then he put his hands in his pockets and burst into laughter, his laughter growing louder and more arrogant.
"Are you joking?" Dr. Dale wagged his finger at Alan. "You people from the slums, joining together and calling yourselves an alliance, think you can stand as equals with Rhine Company? How laughable!"
As he spoke, Dr. Dale paced forward.
"That so-called agreement was just to keep you in the slums, hunting mutated creatures, and guarding the areas outside the barricades."
"Talking to you about ecological chain hunting and control, and food chain balance – an idiot like you probably wouldn't understand. In short, you're just tools. The wealthy districts can remain stable only if the slums exist. If you lowly beings don't hunt the mutated creatures, should we?"
"So, you're actually talking to me about the Android Alliance? You intend to threaten me with that? Have you lost your mind?"
"As for what happens here, you plan to record it?" Dr. Dale shrugged indifferently and gestured for Alan to proceed. "You can record however you like, but are you sure you can still leave here?"
*Click, click...*
As soon as Dr. Dale finished speaking, the weapons on the surrounding armed robots whirred to life and aimed at Alan and his companions.
Alan's expression turned serious, and everyone immediately entered combat readiness, warily watching the front.
Bai Ye finally withdrew his gaze from his surroundings and looked in Dr. Dale's direction.
"No need to be nervous," Bai Ye said. "Just a pile of scrap metal."
*Snap!*
Bai Ye snapped his fingers casually.
The next instant, arcs of electricity suddenly jumped on the bodies of the armed robots, emitting crackling sounds, and then the armed robots exploded one by one, engulfed in flames and black smoke.
In a single blow, all the armed robots, as Bai Ye had said, were reduced to scrap metal.
Dr. Dale's face immediately showed surprise.
Bai Ye, however, curled his lips, thinking it was a fuss over nothing.
The armed robots on the ground were somewhat more troublesome, as it required external attacks to channel electricity to destroy their internal circuit boards.
However, the ground and walls of the laboratory were inlaid with metal plates, and the surrounding instruments were also made of metal, meaning there were too many conductive objects.
In such an environment, a casual stomp from Bai Ye could send electricity through the metal plates on the ground into the robots, completely destroying them.
Dr. Dale quickly recovered from his surprise.
It was only the armed robots that were destroyed; he still had the mutated crystal people!
"Kill them! Kill them all!" Dr. Dale roared ferociously. "They absolutely cannot be allowed to leave here."
The mutated crystal people indeed obeyed. Upon receiving the order, they immediately advanced forward.
Alan and the others wanted to fight, but Bai Ye stopped them with a hand gesture.
"You guys stay back," Bai Ye said. "Leave them to me."
Compared to Dr. Dale, Bai Ye was more concerned about Imi hiding in the shadows.
However, since the other party refused to show themselves, Bai Ye observed for a while but couldn't locate their whereabouts.
Since that was the case, he would deal with the immediate problem first.
In any case, the second mission in the forbidden zone was to eliminate Dr. Dale, so he might as well claim the mission rewards first.
Bai Ye thought this as he took a step forward.
Having come this far, there was absolutely no need to hide his strength anymore, but rather...
To end this quickly!
"Thunder Beast!" Thunder Beast (releases a beast-like electrical attack with physical impact, targeting ground attacks and defenses)
*Zzzzt!*
Following Bai Ye's low shout, a large amount of electricity surged from his body, dancing and expanding wildly.
Soon, the electricity condensed, forming a colossal thunder beast that descended towards the ground.
*Boom!*
Upon landing, the thunder beast raised its giant claws and slammed them down onto the ground.
Amidst the roaring sound, a large amount of electricity exploded, and the ground let out a deafening boom, shattered by the thunder beast's strike.
The scattering electricity struck the bodies of several crystal people, instantly blasting them away, their crystalline bodies cracking.
After the initial attack, the thunder beast did not stop but charged forward.
Its massive body collided, and the crystal people in front were instantly thrown into disarray.
At the same time...
Bai Ye reached out his hand, and behind him, a vast golden barrier appeared.
Gate of Babylon!
On the golden barrier, golden vortexes continuously appeared, and in the center of each vortex was a weapon of varying shapes.
The next moment, Bai Ye swung his raised arm downwards!
The weapons within the golden vortexes immediately shot forward.
*Boom, boom, boom!*
As the weapons struck the ground, continuous, deafening roars echoed.
The entire laboratory trembled and shook violently. Metal plates on the ceiling shattered, and countless stone fragments rained down.
The ground cracked and broke apart, creating numerous deep pits.
After a moment, the swirling dust dispersed, revealing a scene of utter devastation.
The colossal thunder beast stood there, two crystal people crushed beneath its feet, electricity crackling from its body.
The surrounding ground had completely collapsed, and scattered crystal fragments were everywhere.
Some crystal people were impaled by spears and hung on the walls, while others had their heads severed and lay on the ground.
Some crystal people's bodies were torn apart with the shattering of their crystals, reduced to a pile of bloody remains.
A few crystal people were not yet dead, still struggling, crawling forward, seemingly seeking a sliver of life.
But, at this moment...
The colossal thunder beast lifted its foot and stomped down forcefully on that struggling crystal person.
*CRACK!*
The crystal person's body was pulverized, countless shattered crystal shards exploding outward, a large splash of crimson blood splattering onto the adjacent glass wall.
Dr. Dale's spirit trembled, and looking at the blood suddenly appearing on the glass wall before him, his heart was quickly engulfed by fear.
