Chapter 305: Chapter 305: Pest Infestation_1

At 2 a.m., which should have been the quietest moment of the day, a group of people were working hard in a small town named "Riverside."

Workers in the pharmaceutical factory were placing various hallucinogenic drugs into packaging bags; by early morning tomorrow, they would be sent to entertainment venues everywhere, bringing huge profits to Aleye.

Walking along the dark and lengthy corridors of the pharmaceutical factory, Aleye wasn’t sleepy at all; this was the kingdom he had established, and now was the time to let it grow and thrive.

The last room in the pharmaceutical factory was the meeting room, and at the moment, six people were being held there.

Their hands and feet weren’t forcibly shackled, seemingly granting them complete freedom. However, the metal collars on their necks prevented them from taking even half a step out of the meeting room’s door.

The doorway and floor still bore the un-dried blood stains, and you could find parts belonging to the human body in a corner.

These were left behind by one of their investigative team members.

When he tried to take advantage of the moment when the armed guard at the door was distracted to escape, the bomb built into his metal collar exploded; the mere thought of the scene made everyone in the meeting room shudder.

Bomb collars.

These restraints were developed during the Third War to aid captives and slaves in their labor, not impeding movement but exploding if any forbidden action was taken by the person wearing the collar.

After the war ceased, such restraints were banned by the United Government and all neutral Covenant Nations for violating human rights. They never imagined that somewhere in the world, there were still maniacs like Aleye using such inhumane restraints.

The sight of Aleye entering the room caused all the research staff to show faces of terror; they were from Man Sheng Biopharmaceutical and had never dealt with such vicious thugs before.

Their company-provided security personnel had all fallen in battle.

It was an attack that was meticulously planned; Aleye’s troops left them no chance to retaliate or flee.

"I am very sad, really," Aleye, standing at the doorway, surveyed the blood stains left by the deceased and spoke as if in sorrow, "Because of his impulsive act, my team has lost an excellent researcher... But let’s not dwell on such sad matters. I’ve arranged for you the best research facilities in the country, and you can go there to conduct research at any time."

Aleye had expressed his purpose on the first day he captured them.

It seemed he was no longer satisfied with the existing goods and wanted the research team to bring him some new things.

"The company’s rescue team is likely already on their way."

An older researcher in the team reminded Aleye once again, no matter what, he didn’t want to end up like the other people in the factory who had to work every day with collars around their necks.

These people could hardly be called workers; they were more like slaves, to be disposed of like garbage once they lost their ability to work.

"You’re still thinking about the company’s rescue team?"

Aleye showed a completely disappointed expression. He walked up to the blackboard, picked up a pen, and wrote down a string of numbers ten digits long, "Do I really need to explain to you again? It’s impossible for your company to send a rescue team now, because this place belongs to the Esinvig Army! What you truly need to do now is head to your posts and concentrate on developing new drugs!"

...

All that was happening in the meeting room was being observed by Lu Xiang.

A small town occupied by armed militants, a local tyrant who ruled unchallenged, and six hostages with bomb collars around their necks.

This familiar scene seemed to take her back to her student days.

"He’s doing this to expand his business market."

Medea’s voice came through the walkie-talkie; as the former executive of Cloud Biological Pharmaceutical, she commented on Aleye’s actions, "Their factory’s production level is still stuck twenty or thirty years in the past, even an intern from the company could produce goods of much higher quality than theirs."

Since this was the Bug Swarm’s first official mission, several researchers were focused on the situation in the town around the clock.

Providing them with visibility was the Horn Bug scout troop that had infiltrated first.

The town’s armed forces were completely unaware, and in less than fifteen minutes, every corner of the town was thoroughly under their control.

Exoskeleton armor, armored floating cars, military drones, and even a few tanks equipped with railguns were parked in the northwest corner of the town.

The level of armament here indeed surpassed that of an ordinary criminal group by several degrees.

Though the town appeared old and dilapidated, its defensive forces were among the strongest. If they had opted for a frontal assault tactic, they would likely need two to three times the manpower of Aleye to break through.

"There are two controllers for the remote-controlled explosives in the metal collars, one in Aleye’s hands, another in the hands of a trusted individual in the monitoring room,"

Lu Xiang said. If they needed to ensure the safety of the hostages, they would have to take down Aleye and the person in the monitoring room simultaneously.

"Aleye used the money he earned over the years to install quite a few military-grade prosthetic implants on himself, which is also why he’s always acting crazy,"

Dr. Bai Zhu accurately obtained the information on every prosthetic implantation Aleye underwent in recent years. "I have sent over the list of his prosthetic implantations. His level of prosthesis modification is at 47%, equipped with thermal cutting blades and subcutaneous armor, enhancing close combat capabilities,"

Just in terms of prosthesis modification degree, Aleye was no less than Shadow Guards members who hadn’t installed the Overload system.

What was rarer was that he hadn’t gone cyborg mad after completing 47% of the modifications.

"The Shadow Guards are in position, ready to begin the operation,"

...

2:30 AM.

A loud explosion woke everyone in the town from their slumber and interrupted Aleye’s threatening speech to the Man Sheng Biopharmaceutical staff.

"What’s going on?"

His mind immediately went to the Man Sheng Biopharmaceutical rescue team, but even if the company had indeed sent a squad, he was confident he could keep them from leaving alive.

Long before taking this research team hostage, he had investigated the Man Sheng Biopharmaceutical rescue team’s tactical approaches and had prepared countermeasures.

"It’s, it’s bugs, lots of bugs!"

Shouts of panic came from the other side, and the continuous gunfire made the whole town come alive.

Gun muzzles spat out flames, forming a continuous blaze.

And this time, even without his subordinates reporting, Aleye saw several enormous entities that had suddenly appeared in the very center of the town.

They were terrifying creatures he had never seen before, seemingly immune to bullets, and what chilled him even more was that ever since these enormous entities appeared, an incessant stream of bugs had been emerging from splits in their bodies.

They swarmed in, darkening the skies like a cloud.

It was only when a bug slammed into the glass in front of him that Aleye got a clear look at its true form.

They resembled Horn Bugs, but their wings, pincers, and other features like mechanical devices similar to Shell Launchers seemed to have been enhanced.

This was definitely not the Man Sheng Biopharmaceutical rescue team!

Who can explain what these monsters are?
