I Have Infinite Skill Points-Chapter 584: Bizarre Ability

The sounds of fierce battle reached them from afar, and Wang Lan and his companions looked at each other in dismay.

"The control authority of Red Cell Company’s central system has been seized." It was at this moment that the voice of Ice Snow Ao Jiao rang out.

"Wang Lan, where is the fight taking place? Did you set up a backup plan?" Jiang Xinyu asked with suspicion.

Things just got interesting. Wang Lan instantly understood the key point. It must be Yulia’s team from Zone Twelve who found the Red Cell Company through the clues we left behind. They also planned to investigate tonight. As a result, when the alarm went off, thinking they had been exposed and spotted, they decided to launch a strong attack. This is perfect. With them covering for us on the outside and drawing the enemy’s attention, we can slip in quietly to gather evidence.

Under Wang Lan’s leadership, the four of them swiftly entered the camp. With the guidance of Ice Snow, they successfully entered the secret research facility underground. Perhaps Red Cell was overly confident in their AI, as the underground secret research base was solely protected by electronic and technological surveillance and defense measures.

Once Ice Snow had seized ultimate control, the entire underground base was as easy for Wang Lan to navigate as if it were his own home.

"This is the drug research department." After infiltrating one of the research departments, Wang Lan saw many researchers engaged in serious work. Ice Snow copied their research records while Wang Lan surreptitiously took some of the samples they had developed.

"Samples of all the new drugs that have appeared internationally in recent years are here. It seems this facility is inextricably linked to them."

Red Cell Company, damn it!

"Let’s go. We need to find more critical clues."

Silently, the four of them penetrated deeper, all thanks to Yulia and her team.

Normally, the core research base should have been guarded by a considerable number of Star Martial Warrior experts, in addition to its technological surveillance equipment. However, due to the ferocity of Yulia and her team outside, most of these experts had been dispatched as reinforcements.

Without the protection of Star Martial Warrior experts, and with the surveillance equipment controlled by Ice Snow, Wang Lan and his companions naturally had an unimpeded path.

The noise from the battle outside did not reach the underground labs, so the researchers inside continued their work, unabashedly conducting research harmful to all of humanity.

In a deeper area, Wang Lan finally found his target: dozens of fierce-looking Exotic Beasts, dog-like in shape but as large as cows, their blood-red eyes gleaming with savagery and madness. Drool continuously dripped from their slightly agape mouths.

Wang Lan quietly took the container used by researchers to collect the saliva of the Exotic Beasts. After using Universal Decomposition on it, he confirmed that the saliva indeed contained the virulent virus. He ordered Ice Snow to copy their experiment data and footage, then Wang Lan tossed some samples and all the Exotic Beasts into his Void Storing space.

"Eh? What’s happening?" Suddenly, a researcher let out a cry of surprise. "Where are the samples? What happened to those Exotic Beasts? How could they be gone?"

"What? Could it be that because of the alarm earlier, the samples were moved?"

"That can’t be right; the samples were just here a moment ago."

CLICK, CLICK, CLICK—

Suddenly, the sound of mechanical operation echoed, and a spherical metal object descended from the ceiling of every lab. Upon seeing this, Wang Lan’s expression instantly turned icy cold.

RAT-A-TAT-TAT—

The spherical bodies suddenly opened fire, a dense barrage of bullets executing the researchers in the lab without a blind spot. Fortunately, Wang Lan had already secured everything he needed from Red Cell Company, so if they wanted to silence their own people, let them.

The weapon systems, though capable of being controlled by the AI system, were not exclusively under its command. Once switched to manual mode, the AI system could no longer interfere.

Either Red Cell Company had detected an intrusion, or Yulia was too ferocious outside, and Red Cell, fearing they couldn’t hold them off, decided to silence everyone prematurely. In addition to the lethal firepower, a terrifying Star Martial Toxin began to spread throughout the underground research facility.

"We’re pulling out," Wang Lan commanded, leading the three of them in a swift retreat to the surface. Above ground, a massacre similar to the one below was unfolding. Wang Lan did not stop the killing in the underground research facility because the people there were all involved in researching drugs or viruses, but the people above ground were ordinary Red Cell employees.

Wang Lan drew his Zanpakuto, transforming it instantly into the Sword of Light. With a single thrust that pierced the clouds, it turned into countless Feather-like Light Birds that bombarded the rapid-fire turrets on the ground. In almost an instant, all the round machine-gun turrets were smashed to pieces by the onslaught of Light Birds.

The Light Birds converged, forming once more into a bright Sword of Light in Wang Lan’s hand. However, even with his timely rescue, not many survivors were left on the ground. Hundreds of rounds firing every second for several minutes were enough to slaughter most people.

On the fiercely fought battlefield where Yulia was positioned, dozens of corpses already lay on the ground. Angels from Zone Twelve don’t kill? It was a joke; no Star Martial Warrior exists who has never taken a life. Choosing not to kill merely meant there was no necessity for them. Indeed, they saw no need to take the lives of Star Martial Warriors they might capture, let alone ordinary people who were helpless before them.

Thus, the people of Zone Twelve were under the illusion that Angels do not kill!

Now, Yulia’s decisive killing was telling the goons of Red Cell Company not only that she would kill, but that she could do so without them ever knowing how.

The Star Martial Warriors lying dead before Yulia all wore strikingly similar expressions of astonishment; they died without ever knowing how they had been killed. But even though Yulia had taken down dozens, the scores of enemies before her showed no signs of retreat.

"You can’t stop me! Stop this futile struggle," Yulia said calmly, stepping closer and closer to the Red Cell Company.

"Brothers, we’ve all been controlled by drugs! We all know what will happen if they get inside! Better to die at their hands than to become... those things!" a peak Star Sea realm warrior suddenly shouted, charging crazily towards Yulia. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Holy Light—"

A dazzling white light instantly burst from Yulia’s body, and the peak Star Sea realm warrior froze in its midst. His body twisted, his face contorted in ferocity. Yulia gently flicked a finger, and the Star Sea expert’s body trembled and fell powerlessly to the ground.

"That was the last one in the Star Sea realm. Do you still intend to stop me?" Yulia’s indifferent voice rang out as she approached step by step once again. The Star Martial Warriors in front of her, faces etched with fear, retreated step by step.

"I’ve only been gone for a day; has such a big incident occurred at the company?" Suddenly, a voice arose, and a mini-tornado appeared amid the crowd. When the tornado dissipated, a middle-aged Caucasian man appeared in the center.

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

The surrounding Star Martial Warriors shouted excitedly as if they had seen their linchpin. "Boss, you’re finally back! We’ve lost so many brothers, but fortunately, we fulfilled our duty and didn’t let them breach the interior."

"Fulfilled your duty?" The boss’s face twisted into a sinister, cold smirk. "Who was it that destroyed all the cleaning systems in my base? A bunch of trash, incapable of even guarding your own posts! Now go and bite them to death for me!"

ROAR—

Instantly, a mournful, beastly roar echoed from the mouths of the Star Martial Warriors.

"Boss, no... don’t... ROAR—" The Star Martial Warriors who were begging just a second ago turned into ferocious, twisted beasts the next. The warriors, now transformed into beasts, charged at Yulia once more at incredible speed.

Transformed into beasts, the Star Martial Warriors’ speed and fighting power increased more than tenfold.

Zombies! Yulia’s gaze grew heavy. She had found the right place indeed.

Yulia’s strength was peerless, but the same couldn’t be said for her three teammates, whose abilities were greatly diminished. Faced with zombie Star Martial Warriors whose speed, strength, and defense had all increased manifold, the Angel Team was pushed back. Yulia was about to intervene when she was stopped by the Red Cell Company boss.

After a quick exchange, Yulia staggered backward, her face pale with shock. This might have been the strongest opponent she had ever faced. In the moment of their clash, both sides recognized the other’s extraordinary strength.

And in that brief moment of delay, Yulia’s team members found themselves in grave danger.

If the team suffered casualties, the entire group would be eliminated. But now, it wasn’t just a matter of being eliminated from the test; the Angel Team might be annihilated right here.

CRACKLE—

A sharp peal of thunder rang out, and a streak of light flashed amidst the horde of zombies. Every zombie touched by the streak of light froze in place, motionless. When the light came to a stop, a figure appeared before everyone’s eyes.

"Dawn!" Seeing Wang Lan, Yulia’s feelings were complex, even slightly guilty. Until now, she hadn’t known exactly what Red Cell Company was involved in, only guessing they were linked to the drug trade.

Aiming to gain points, they had decided to launch a full-scale assault on Red Cell, but in doing so, they had alerted the enemy. Now that they knew Red Cell’s might, they had nearly been overwhelmed. It was thanks to Dawn’s team that they had managed to turn danger into safety.

The moment Yulia saw Wang Lan, she was certain they were out of danger. Even if this Red Cell boss is strong, she thought, could he be stronger than me and Wang Lan working together? Impossible.

"Globally, there are no more than twenty people stronger than her and no more than fifteen at her level. That makes thirty-five in total, and I have information on all of them. Clearly, you are not one of them," Wang Lan said slowly as he moved forward to stand alongside Yulia, his voice low.

"Who are you, exactly?"

"Me? I am not human!" As his words landed, the opponent’s body turned into green smoke and disappeared in an instant. Wang Lan and Xu Xiangwen immediately broke free from the Pupil Skill, but there was no trace of the opponent left anywhere.

"Could he have run away?" Wang Lan asked hesitantly.

"Not good—" Suddenly, Yulia cried out. No sooner had the words left her mouth than she was violently knocked flying.

This scene shocked Wang Lan greatly. He had never encountered such a situation before. The opponent seemed truly invisible and insubstantial, exhibiting no Star Energy Fluctuation and leaving no trace of movement. Even after striking Yulia, Wang Lan couldn’t sense his presence.

If the opponent decided to assassinate any member of their team, Wang Lan would be helpless.

BOOM—

Suddenly a loud noise erupted, and the three members of the Angel Team flew backward in unison.

Wang Lan’s figure flashed instantly, his sword slicing through the air but cutting nothing.

"How are you all?" Yulia asked anxiously, but the three fallen teammates gave no response. This sight caused Wang Lan’s heart to sink.

"Xinyu, all of you, run—" Wang Lan shouted urgently.
