The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert-Chapter 1374 - 1682: Island Assault (2)

"What’s the problem?"

"How many armed personnel does this base have, and what defense systems are inside the base?"

Hearing this, the commander’s face suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Why are you asking about these things? These are not matters you should be concerned with."

Ling Chen smiled slightly, "But I’m very interested in the answers, so I would appreciate it if you would tell me honestly."

"You are quite bold. Everyone, seize him for me." The commander coldly ordered. However, the crowd standing behind Ling Chen remained motionless, as if they hadn’t heard his command.

Seeing this scene, the commander’s face instantly turned cold, frowning as he said, "What are you doing? Are you planning a rebellion?"

Ling Chen took off the mask from his face, apologetically saying, "Sorry, we are not your subordinates, so there’s no need to follow your orders." Having said that, Ling Chen waved his hand, and the people behind him immediately charged forward, controlling all the tech personnel and the commander in the operations room.

The commander struggled desperately, but his strength was far inferior to Yuan Yun’s. Realizing the strength of his opponent, the commander finally gave up resisting, looking coldly at Ling Chen, questioning, "Who are you people?"

Ling Chen pointed at his own face, "You’re from the southern Ling Family, don’t you recognize me?"

"You..." The commander carefully scrutinized Ling Chen’s appearance, and suddenly, his expression changed, as if he realized something, he said, "You... you are..."

Ling Chen smiled and nodded, "It seems you’ve recognized me. If you don’t want to suffer, you’d best answer my earlier question obediently."

The commander hesitated for a moment but ultimately chose life over loyalty. "There are three hundred and sixty people in the base, of which two hundred are armed personnel, and over a hundred are scientific research staff and workers."

"Very good." Ling Chen patted the commander’s shoulder and said, "You’ve made a wise choice." After speaking, Ling Chen walked to Hu Fei’s side. At this moment, Hu Fei had already taken over the computer of the opponent’s tech personnel and was examining the base’s system and setup.

"How’s it going, have you found anything?"

"There are two independent systems in this base. One is the outer defense system, including radar, torpedoes, and Hellfire Missiles. Any foreign vessel approaching the island would be blown to bits by torpedoes and bombs. The other is the internal system, which has to be controlled from within the base; I can’t invade it from here."

"Shut down their defense systems, stop all defensive weapons. Also, help me locate the important positions in this base."

"No problem." Hu Fei replied and his hands quickly struck the keyboard. In a short time, Hu Fei had found three important facilities in the base.

"Look, here’s the armory, this is the dormitory building where all armed personnel reside. It’s deep at night now, other than routine patrolling personnel, the rest are resting. If we destroy these dormitory buildings, it will render most of the armed personnel combat ineffective." After a pause, Hu Fei continued, "The armory and dormitory building are my responsibility to handle. Your target is over here, the lab. Ling Chen, you should be on alert; this lab is quite unlike any we’ve seen before, its shape is very peculiar."

"Peculiar?" Ling Chen asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Hu Fei pulled up a diagram from the computer, and Ling Chen moved closer to the screen, asking, "What... what is this?"

"This is the lab."

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen was taken aback, "Fatty, you’re not mistaken, right? This thing is a lab?" Honestly, at first glance, Ling Chen thought this was a giant eggshell. There was no alternative, as the lab’s shape was indeed like an ovoid eggshell, without a single window.

"According to the data I have here, this lab is about fifty meters high, equivalent to a ten-story building, occupying hundreds of square meters. Because I’m on an external network, I can’t access the internal diagrams of the lab; you’ll have to be cautious during the operation and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Ling Chen nodded, "Don’t worry, I understand." After his words, Ling Chen pointed at Zhu Qing and Qin Genglong behind him, saying, "You two stay here and protect Fatty, make sure nothing happens to him. Also, once things here are dealt with, make sure to find a plane or ship and arrange the withdrawal route."

After giving instructions, Ling Chen took the others and drove straight to the location of the lab. The lab was situated at the center of the island; after driving the jeep for not too long, Ling Chen saw the peculiarly shaped lab. From a distance, it really looked like an eggshell on the ground.

Choosing a relatively safe spot, Ling Chen parked and picked up binoculars to observe the lab. Just as Hu Fei had said, this lab was very unique, without a single window.

"Is this really a lab?" Xia Yue asked beside him, "This spooky place doesn’t even have a door, how are we supposed to get in?"

Ling Chen shook his head, unsure of how to enter this lab either. For the moment, Ling Chen moved his binoculars downward, only to see more than twenty armed personnel patrolling back and forth outside the lab, guarding its safety.

"Hey! Fatty, are you receiving?"

"Received."

"We’re in position, ready to move anytime."

"OK!"

As soon as Hu Fei’s voice fell, several streaks of light appeared suddenly in the night sky, descending toward the ground. Suddenly, several loud ’bang bang’ sounds echoed, flames shot into the sky, and even the ground trembled slightly.

Ling Chen picked up the binoculars and looked in the direction of the flames to see a warehouse already destroyed by the explosion, and besides the warehouse, several dormitory buildings had been demolished and crumbled, sending dust flying into the sky.

"Fatty, nicely done." Ling Chen said with a smile. Hu Fei had already taken control of the base’s defensive weapons, using Hellfire Missiles to demolish these ground structures was a mere trifle for him.

Putting down the binoculars, Ling Chen turned to look at everyone, saying, "Most of the armed forces on the island have been dealt with, now it’s our turn."

"Ling Cheng, look over there, someone is coming out."

Following Yuan Yun’s pointing direction, the lab’s bottom suddenly opened a door. Subsequently, over ten armed personnel rushed out, spreading around the lab and vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

"We’ve found the entrance, come on, let’s go together." After speaking, Ling Chen started the engine, driving the jeep rapidly toward the lab.
