The high-powered laser gun instantly pierced through the heads of those monsters.
Unfortunately, the head is not the vital organ of these monsters; the spores that are rooted in every corner of their bodies are the key to their movement.
Fortunately, Horii reacted quickly and understood Iruma Megumi's intention.
So the moment Horii gave the order, he decisively abandoned his plan to continue operating the central computer and instead helped Xiao Bing up.
And so, with one taking charge of attacking and providing cover while the other supported Xiao Bing, the two turned and ran deeper into the base.
It wasn't that they didn't want to run towards the exit; it was just that even more monsters were gathering there.
If all the TPC members in the base were parasitized by those terrifying spores, they would definitely not be able to break out even if they used up all their energy ammunition.
In this situation, it would be better to take a gamble and believe the claims of the Bizomo lifeform, and run towards the experimental area deeper into the base.
That is the origin of the Bizomo life form, and also the area where those terrifying spores have been unable to invade for a long time.
......................................................................................................
Outside the base, amidst the clouds.
Amidst the exuberant revelry of Victory Flying Swallow No. 1, Rena and Daigo arrived at the place where Iori and the others had lost their signal at a speed far exceeding Nozue's expectations.
"This is it! Their signal disappeared right here!"
Since the Shengli Feiyan-1 is still in an active state, its flight trajectory is not stable.
Sometimes soaring into the clouds, sometimes swooping low overhead...
The Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 is like a child with ADHD; it will never follow a normal trajectory if it can avoid it.
Daigo, who was in the co-pilot position, spent a lot of effort to finally match the ever-changing mountain and forest terrain with the coordinates on the radar.
"Ahem, Xiao Yan, we've arrived at our destination..."
"How about we go down and rest for a while?"
Despite feeling slightly embarrassed, Corina remembered her responsibilities as a driver at that moment.
Since it's impossible to directly control the current Victory Flying Swallow No. 1, coaxing it to descend like a child is indeed the only option left.
"No, I haven't flown enough yet!"
A childish voice came from the communicator; Victory Swallow No. 1 clearly didn't care about Lina's words at all.
After all, for Victory Flying Swallow 1, which possesses great power but also has a childlike personality, "rebellion" is an unavoidable word.
"Dagu!"
Left with no other choice, Lina could only turn and glare at Daigo.
Don't forget, Lina is currently strapped tightly to the driver's seat, a completely different situation from Daigo, whose body is mostly free to move.
"..."
Despite being glared at fiercely by Lina, Daigo was filled with grievances.
Little did he know that after Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 came back to life, it would treat its two pilots so differently.
"Xiao Yan, stop fooling around, we're on a mission right now!"
Mimicking Lina's nickname for Victory Swallow No. 1, Daigo had no choice but to tentatively try to persuade her.
"After we complete this mission, I'll take you flying as much as you want, okay?"
Upon hearing this, the fuselage of the Victory Flying Swallow immediately paused, and that childish voice reappeared in the cabin.
"Great! Next time I want to fly to the Pacific Ocean!"
"The sky is wider, the ocean is bluer, and you don't have to hide from those annoying cameras!"
Daigo quickly nodded in agreement to Victory Flying Swallow No. 1's request, and continued speaking under Rena's jealous gaze.
"No problem! I'll definitely take you flying around the Pacific Ocean next time!"
"But we need to get down there first!"
"See that Snow White down there? Just land right next to it!"
With its fuselage twisting wildly, the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 did not negotiate terms this time, but turned around and swooped down again.
Silence—Boom!
The sonic boom caused by the sudden deceleration and acceleration followed immediately, instantly blowing over the nearby forests and vegetation.
By the time Lina and Daigo came to their senses, they were almost at the location of the Snow White.
However, after circling over the Snow White, the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 did not make an emergency landing as they had expected.
"Daigo, something seems off?"

"Daigo, something seems off?"
The one who said those words was not Lina, but Victory Flying Swallow No. 1, who had been behaving very unruly before.
Unlike its previous eagerness and curiosity, Victory Flying Swallow 1 now sounds slightly serious and its tone is very wary.
"what?"
Lina blinked in confusion, and before she could finish speaking, a loud bang suddenly came from below.
Boom...
As if a mountain had collapsed and the earth had split open, the entrance to the base near the Victory Snowball suddenly exploded.
Immediately afterwards, countless strangely shaped spores poured out of the entrance and grew and multiplied at an astonishing rate.
Behind those spores, pink algae surged outwards like a tide, creating a strange visual impact.
The faster the algae move, the faster the spores grow.
The two were like natural enemies, and a real biological war broke out in a very short time.
Algae absorb electricity and assimilate substances to multiply in the shortest amount of time, thereby achieving complete occupation of the entire base.
Spores parasitize algae, maximizing their biological expansion by constantly eroding and occupying the algae's body.
In just a few breaths, the war between spores and algae has spread to the earth's surface.
Compared to these two terrifying life forms, the nearby vegetation was utterly insignificant, serving only as a backdrop for their battle and nourishment for their growth.
In fact, even the equally victorious Snow White could not escape the aftermath of their battle.
Rumble…
As the ground collapsed, the Victory Snow fell straight into the depths of the earth, becoming a battlefield for spores and algae.
Lina and Daigo, who witnessed all of this, were unable to recover from the shock for a long time.
......................................................................................................
"Lina! Daigo!"
Just when the two people on the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 were at a loss for what to do.
Megumi's voice came clearly from the other end of the communicator, promptly waking the two who were still in shock.
"team leader?"
When Lina tentatively called out to Megumi, the person on the other end of the communicator breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's you two!"
"Quickly, attack those spores! We absolutely cannot let them spread!"
Upon receiving the instruction, the two frowned in unison, then exchanged a bewildered glance.
Despite their countless doubts, their duty as soldiers ultimately led them to obey orders.
"understand!"
"understood!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the Victory Flying Swallow in the sky activated its attack mode at that moment.
Silence! Silence! Silence!
High-energy rays shot out from the muzzle of the Victory Flying Swallow, effectively stopping the spread of the spores.
Seeing that their expansion was being restricted, the spores seemed to possess intelligence and changed their expansion method, beginning to spew out a gray haze towards the surrounding mountains and forests.
call!
The gray smog spread through the air, dispersing particles carrying spore genes to other areas.
Such an aggressive method of species invasion is simply not the evolutionary path that life on Earth should follow.
"Xiao Yan! Switch to artillery fire!"
Seeing this, Daigo finally understood why the captain had instructed the two of them to prioritize attacking the spores.
If these terrifying spores were allowed to spread, who knows what kind of biological disaster it would cause?
boom! boom! boom!
After changing its attack mode, the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 once again contained the spread of smog.
However, this is far from enough, because artillery alone can only create a buffer zone around the dark room, but cannot truly prevent them from parasitizing and assimilating the nearby plants and animals.
"We have to use incendiary bombs..."
Lina was somewhat annoyed to see this, because the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 was not equipped with incendiary bombs at all.
Silence—Boom!
Just as the smog was slowly but steadily spreading outwards, a loud rumble of an engine suddenly came from the sky.
The next second, several supersonic fighter jets tore through the clouds and swooped down.
At the same time, the communicator of Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 also transmitted the voices of friendly forces.
"TPC Asia Special Operations Team is here to provide support!"
"TPC Far East Special Affairs Team is here to provide support!"
"TPC Pacific Secret Joint Defense Team is here to provide support!"
"TPC Americas Special Forces stationed in the Far East are here to provide support!"
……
As the friendly forces announced their names one by one, the identities of those supersonic fighter jets became readily apparent.
They are a special operations team under TPC, and now, because of the information that Ye Rui released, they have been dispatched here by their superiors to deal with the possible biological disasters that may occur here.
The lessons learned from the "Ebloon disaster" are still there.
No one with a brain would dare to ignore such a biological disaster that threatens the entire Earth's ecosystem.
In fact, only a few special teams that are closest to this location have arrived here.
More members of the main force are still on their way here, determined to nip the biological disaster in the bud.
boom! boom! boom!
When genuine incendiary bombs were dropped one after another, the gray smog finally stopped expanding.
The raging flames formed a huge isolation zone around the spores.
No matter how much they spewed out gray smog, they could not break through the flames and were trapped within a few kilometers of the base.
Moreover, in order to completely end this biological disaster.
After confirming that the gray smog could not penetrate the limitations of the incendiary bombs, the pilots of the supersonic fighters began attacking the spores and algae at the base entrance.
Yes, these special operations teams that came to support them didn't care about the difference between spores and algae at all.
In their eyes, those were biological disasters from another planet, demonic life forms that had to be destroyed.
sizzle...
Clearly sensing humanity's determination, visible arcs of electricity emanated from the algae.
