The shrill beep of Victor's long-range detector cut through the mountain breeze, growing louder with each passing second, like a sharp blade scraping against the nerves of every member of the team. Elias stood at the narrow section of the mountain road, his boots stepping on the loose gravel underfoot, and the 62% brain awakening energy in his body surged steadily, merging with the warm energy of the spiritual energy crystal in his pocket to form a faint golden aura around him. His "mind prediction" ability was fully activated, and the flow of energy in the air, the vibration of gravel, and even the subtle breathing of the pursuers in the distance were all clearly mapped in his mind, forming a real-time tactical map.
Lumina's orb hovered above the narrow section, its surface glowing with a faint blue light, and a dense signal interference field spread outward, covering the entire mountain road within a 500-meter radius. "Signal interference field activated, frequency locked at 18.7GHz, which can block 99% of Victor's short-range communication signals," her electronic voice sounded in Elias' mind through brain wave transmission, avoiding the risk of being intercepted by the detector. "The pursuers are 1.2 kilometers away from us, a total of 8 people, equipped with enhanced energy assault rifles and portable energy shields. The leading one is a level-3 enhanced soldier with a dark symbiosis energy response— his combat effectiveness is 37% higher than that of ordinary enhanced soldiers."
Leo squatted behind a huge boulder on the left side of the mountain road, his energy shotgun loaded with armor-piercing energy warheads, and his eyes fixed on the direction of the detector's sound. He adjusted the scope slightly, and the crosshair locked on the distant moving heat source. "Todd's energy traps are all set," he whispered into the intercom, his voice low and steady, "the moment they step into the ambush circle, the high-voltage energy grid will be activated, and the energy mines buried under the gravel will explode at the same time— enough to paralyze their energy shields and cause heavy damage to their bodies."
Jax leaned against a dead tree on the right side, holding a modified energy submachine gun in his hand. The barrel of the gun was wrapped with a layer of silver alloy, which was a new modification made by Todd. He couldn't help grinning, and his tone was full of excitement: "Finally, I can test Todd's new toy. I hope those guys can hold on a little longer, don't be blown up into pieces with one shot— that would be too boring."
"Jax, focus," Nora's voice came from the intercom, with a hint of helplessness. She was hiding behind a rock not far from Elias, her body tensed, and the symbiotic chip under her skin was operating at full capacity, enhancing her reaction speed and physical strength. "This is not a game. The level-3 enhanced soldier leading the team is not easy to deal with. We need to cooperate perfectly to take them down in one fell swoop, otherwise, once they call for reinforcements, we will be surrounded."
Maya, who was lying on the high ground 200 meters away, had already set up her energy sniper rifle. The scope of the rifle was connected to Lumina's detection system, and the real-time image of the pursuers was clearly displayed on the holographic screen of the scope. She adjusted her breathing, her fingers gently resting on the trigger, and her voice was calm: "The detector operator is at the end of the team, wearing a black tactical helmet with a red signal light. I can take him down with one shot, but I need to wait for your signal— to ensure that the ambush is fully activated before shooting, so as not to alert the enemy in advance."
Elias nodded slightly, his eyes still fixed on the distance. The "energy resonance perception" ability allowed him to clearly sense the dark symbiosis energy on the leading enhanced soldier— it was a faint purple energy, cold and corrosive, much weaker than the dark symbiosis experimental body they encountered in the abandoned warehouse, but it was enough to show that this soldier had undergone preliminary dark symbiosis transformation. "Lumina, analyze the weak point of the leading enhanced soldier," he ordered in his mind, "focus on his energy core and the connection between the symbiosis factor and his body."
"Analysis in progress," Lumina responded immediately, and a holographic image of the leading enhanced soldier appeared in Elias' mind, with several red dots marking the key positions. "The energy core is located in his chest, protected by a reinforced alloy armor, but the energy transmission pipeline is exposed on the left side of his waist— this is his weak point. The dark symbiosis factor in his body has not been fully integrated with his cells, and there is a 42% probability of energy disorder when attacked by strong crystal energy."
"Perfect," Elias whispered, a cold light flashing in his eyes. He raised his right hand, and the spiritual energy crystal in his pocket emitted a stronger warm light, which gathered at his fingertips, forming a small golden energy ball. "Leo, Jax, when the energy trap is activated, focus your fire on the other 7 ordinary enhanced soldiers. Nora, you and I will deal with the leading level-3 enhanced soldier. Maya, shoot the detector operator immediately after the trap is triggered— don't give him any chance to send a signal."
"Understood!" All team members responded in unison, and the atmosphere on the mountain road suddenly became tense. The detector's beep was already very close, and the sound of heavy footsteps and the friction of tactical uniforms could be heard clearly. The pursuers were approaching the ambush circle step by step, unaware that a death trap was waiting for them.
"Three meters, two meters, one meter— activate the trap!" Elias shouted in a low voice, and at the same time, he pressed the remote control in his hand. With a sharp "crackle" sound, the high-voltage energy grid hidden under the gravel suddenly lit up, forming a dense blue energy net that wrapped the entire team of pursuers. At the same time, dozens of energy mines exploded, and the violent energy shock wave rushed in all directions, slamming into the pursuers' energy shields, making a harsh "sizzling" sound.
"What's going on?!" The leading level-3 enhanced soldier let out a roar, his voice rough and hoarse, and the purple dark symbiosis energy on his body surged, strengthening his energy shield. But the energy shock wave of the mine was too powerful, and the high-voltage energy grid continued to corrode his shield, making the shield's light dim rapidly.
At this moment, a sharp energy beam shot from the high ground, accurately hitting the detector operator at the end of the team. The operator's tactical helmet was directly shattered, and the detector in his hand exploded into pieces. Maya's cold voice came from the intercom: "Detector operator eliminated, communication signal completely blocked."
"Fire!" Leo shouted, jumping out from behind the boulder, and the energy shotgun in his hand fired continuously. The armor-piercing energy warheads roared out, hitting the ordinary enhanced soldiers who were stunned by the explosion. One of the soldiers' energy shields was directly shattered, and the energy warhead penetrated his chest, leaving a charred hole. He fell to the ground with a scream, and his body twitched a few times before losing his breath.
Jax also rushed out, holding the modified energy submachine gun, and the bullets poured out like a rainstorm. The silver alloy barrel of the gun emitted a faint light, and each bullet carried a small amount of crystal energy, which could effectively neutralize the dark symbiosis energy on the soldiers. "Hahaha, this thing is so cool!" He laughed loudly, dodging the counterattack of an enhanced soldier, and then shot him in the leg. The soldier fell to the ground, and the dark symbiosis energy in his body quickly dissipated under the action of the crystal energy.
However, the leading level-3 enhanced soldier quickly recovered from the shock. He roared, and the purple dark symbiosis energy on his body exploded, breaking through the high-voltage energy grid in one fell swoop. He rushed towards Elias with a huge step, his right fist wrapped in purple energy, and smashed towards Elias' head with a strong wind. "You damned rebels, I will tear you to pieces!"
"Elias, watch out!" Nora shouted, rushing forward quickly, her left arm raised, and the symbiotic energy in her body gathered to form a light blue energy shield, blocking the enhanced soldier's fist. With a "bang" sound, Nora was knocked back a few steps, her arm numb, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of her mouth. The symbiotic chip under her skin was operating at full capacity, repairing her damaged cells.
Elias' eyes narrowed, and the 62% brain awakening energy in his body fully erupted. He rushed forward, his right hand raised, and the golden crystal energy ball in his fingertips shot out, accurately hitting the weak point on the left side of the enhanced soldier's waist— the energy transmission pipeline. With a "sizzling" sound, the crystal energy eroded the pipeline, and the purple dark symbiosis energy in the enhanced soldier's body suddenly became disordered.
"Ah—!" The enhanced soldier let out a painful scream, his body began to twitch, and the purple energy on his body flickered on and off. He tried to control the energy, but the crystal energy continued to erode his body, making his cells gradually lose their activity. "Impossible… how can there be such a powerful energy… Victor said… the dark symbiosis energy is invincible…"
Elias walked up to him, his eyes cold: "Victor lied to you. The dark symbiosis energy is not invincible, and your desire for power has made you his puppet. You still have a chance to wake up— if you tell us Victor's recent deployment, I can spare your life."
The enhanced soldier raised his head, his eyes full of pain and struggle. Just as he was about to speak, a sudden burst of purple energy erupted from his chest— the energy core in his body exploded, and the violent energy shock wave rushed towards Elias. "Run!" Nora shouted, rushing over to push Elias away, and the energy shield on her body was fully activated.
With a loud "boom", the enhanced soldier's body exploded into pieces, and the purple energy spread around. Nora's energy shield was shattered in an instant, and she was knocked flying a few meters away, falling heavily on the gravel. She coughed up a mouthful of blood, and her body was covered with dust and bloodstains.
"Nora!" Elias rushed over quickly, squatted down, and gently lifted her up. The crystal energy in his hand poured into Nora's body, helping her stabilize her vital signs. "How are you? Don't scare me."
Nora opened her eyes, looked at Elias, and forced a smile: "I'm fine… just a little tired… that guy's energy core is really powerful… but we won, right?"
At this moment, Leo and Jax also walked over. All 8 pursuers had been eliminated, and the mountain road was covered with the remains of energy weapons and the bodies of enhanced soldiers. Jax scratched his head, looking at the mess around him, and said with a smile: "Well, it's a complete victory, but Todd's energy mines are too powerful— I didn't even have time to play enough."
"Don't be careless," Leo said, frowning, checking the bodies of the pursuers, "These are just Victor's vanguard. If we don't leave quickly, his main force will arrive soon. We need to return to the cave laboratory immediately and prepare for the next step."
Lumina's orb flew over, emitting a soft white light, wrapping around Nora's body, accelerating her wound healing. "Nora's vital signs are stable, but the symbiotic chip has overloaded, and her physical strength is seriously exhausted. She needs to rest for at least 12 hours," she reported, "Victor's main force is 5 kilometers away from us, moving at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour. We have about 5 minutes to evacuate."
Elias nodded, picked up Nora horizontally, and said to Leo and Jax: "Let's go, return to the cave immediately. Maya, you retreat first, and meet us at the cave entrance."
"Understood," Maya's voice came from the intercom, and the sound of her packing up the sniper rifle could be heard clearly.
The team quickly evacuated the narrow section of the mountain road and rushed towards the cave laboratory. Elias held Nora in his arms, and the crystal energy in his body continued to flow into her body, helping her recover. The mountain breeze blew through their hair, carrying the smell of gunpowder and blood, but no one spoke— everyone knew that this was just a small battle, and the real war against Victor's dark symbiosis network had just begun.
When they returned to the cave laboratory, Clara and Elias Reed were already waiting at the entrance. Clara rushed over immediately, took out a portable medical device, and checked Nora's condition. "The symbiotic chip is overloaded, and there are slight internal injuries," she said, frowning, "I need to adjust the chip's operating frequency and inject nutrient solution for her. She needs to rest in the medical cabin."
Elias Reed looked at the team, his eyes full of relief and pride: "You did a good job, children. Blocking Victor's vanguard and eliminating the detector operator prevented us from being exposed. But we can't relax— Victor will not give up easily. He will send more powerful troops to hunt us down."
"Father, I have already contacted the Dawn Collective through the encrypted channel you left," Elias said, putting Nora on the medical cabin. The medical cabin closed slowly, emitting a soft white light, wrapping around Nora's body. "The person in charge of the Dawn Collective is Ella. She said that she will lead a team to meet us here in two hours, and bring several former Victor experiment victims— including a network technology expert and a mechanical modification expert. They can help us improve the symbiotic chip and strengthen the laboratory's defense system."
"That's great news," Elias Reed said, his eyes brightening. "Lena, the network technology expert, is a former senior engineer of Victor's company. She knows all Victor's network encryption systems and can help us crack his communication codes and obtain more intelligence. Todd, the mechanical modification expert, is a victim of Victor's early symbiosis experiment. He has a unique understanding of energy weapons and mechanical equipment, and can modify our weapons and defense facilities to make them more powerful."
Clara nodded, adjusting the parameters of the medical cabin, and said: "With Lena's help, I can optimize the second-generation symbiotic chip, enhance its anti-brain control ability, and even add a function to purify low-level dark symbiosis energy. With Todd's modification, our energy weapons can carry more crystal energy, which is more effective against dark symbiosis enhanced soldiers."
Jax's eyes lit up when he heard the word "mechanical modification expert": "A mechanical modification expert? That's great! I've been complaining that my energy submachine gun is not powerful enough. I can't wait to let him modify it for me— I want to make it shoot through Victor's energy shields with one shot!"
Leo couldn't help rolling his eyes: "Jax, can you focus on the key points? We need to use their strength to fight against Victor, not just to modify your weapons. Besides, Todd is a victim of Victor's experiment. We should respect him, not treat him as a tool to modify weapons."
"I know, I know," Jax waved his hand, grinning, "I just want to be more powerful to fight Victor. Don't be so serious— by the way, do you think Todd can modify a flying skateboard for me? That would be so cool, I can fly around the battlefield and shoot the enemy!"
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this, and the tense atmosphere in the laboratory was relieved a lot. Lumina's orb also flickered slightly, as if she was laughing. "According to the data, Todd's modification technology is very advanced," she said, "but a flying skateboard requires a stable energy core and anti-gravity system. It may take some time to modify, and it also needs to be compatible with the symbiotic energy to ensure flight stability."
"Wow, that's great!" Jax jumped up happily, "Then I'll wait for Todd to come— I'll be the first to have a flying skateboard in the team!"
Elias shook his head with a smile, then turned to Elias Reed, his expression becoming serious: "Father, what else do you know about Lena and Todd? Are there any other members of the Dawn Collective coming? What is the specific plan of the Dawn Collective to deal with Victor's dark symbiosis network?"
Elias Reed sat down on a chair, took a deep breath, and said: "Lena and Todd are the core members of the Dawn Collective. They have been collecting Victor's experimental evidence for a long time and have a deep understanding of Victor's dark symbiosis technology. This time, Ella will bring a total of 12 people, including 3 combatants, 4 technical personnel, and 5 medical personnel. They will bring a lot of advanced equipment and materials, which can help us expand the laboratory and improve our combat effectiveness."
"As for the plan of the Dawn Collective," he continued, "it is divided into three steps: first, expand the team, absorb more former Victor experiment victims and justice researchers, and strengthen our strength; second, improve the symbiotic chip and energy weapons, establish a complete defense system, and resist Victor's attack; third, find the other two core components of the dark symbiosis network, destroy them before Victor collects them, and fundamentally block his plan to activate the network."
Lumina's orb projected a holographic interface, displaying the information of the 12 members of the Dawn Collective who were coming. "I have received the identity information of Ella's team, and have verified their identities— they are all reliable, and there is no possibility of being infiltrated by Victor's spies," she reported, "their estimated arrival time is 1 hour and 45 minutes. During this period, I can use the time to optimize the laboratory's signal jammer and energy barrier, and improve the security level of the laboratory."
"Good," Elias nodded, "Clara, you continue to take care of Nora and optimize the symbiotic chip. Leo, you lead Jax and Maya to check the perimeter of the laboratory, strengthen the defense工事, and set up more energy traps. I will stay with my father to sort out the intelligence of the dark symbiosis network and prepare for the arrival of Ella's team."
"Understood!" All team members responded in unison, and immediately took action. The cave laboratory, which was originally quiet, suddenly became busy. The sound of equipment debugging, the sound of setting up traps, and the sound of data analysis intertwined, forming a busy and tense atmosphere.
Elias sat down beside his father, and the spiritual energy crystal in his pocket emitted a warm light, merging with the energy in his father's body, helping him recover. "Father, do you think we can really stop Victor?" He couldn't help asking, his voice full of doubts. Although they had won the first small battle and were about to get new allies, Victor's strength was too strong, and the dark symbiosis network was too terrifying. He couldn't help but worry about whether they could really complete the task.
Elias Reed patted his son's hand, his eyes full of firmness: "Elias, I know you are worried, but we have no choice— if we don't stop Victor, the whole world will be controlled by him, and countless brain-awakened people will become his puppets. We have the spiritual energy crystal, the support of the Dawn Collective, and the courage to fight. As long as we unite, we will definitely be able to defeat Victor."
He paused, then continued: "You have grown a lot, Elias. From the boy who didn't know how to control his brain awakening energy to the leader who can lead the team to fight, you have become the person who can shoulder the responsibility. I believe in you, and all members of the Dawn Collective believe in you. The spiritual energy crystal chose you, which means you are the one who can end all this."
Elias nodded, the 62% brain awakening energy in his body surged slightly, and the doubts in his heart gradually disappeared. He looked at the medical cabin where Nora was resting, then at the busy teammates around him, and felt a strong sense of responsibility in his heart. He knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, he could not give up— for his father, for his teammates, for all the people who were hurt by Victor, he must fight to the end.
At this moment, Lumina's voice suddenly sounded, with a hint of urgency: "Elias, Father, detected an unknown energy signal approaching the laboratory. The signal is very weak, but it is consistent with the signal of Victor's advanced detector. It is likely that Victor has sent a more advanced detector to track us, and its detection range is larger and more accurate than the previous one."
Elias' expression changed, and he stood up immediately: "Lumina, immediately strengthen the signal interference field, adjust the frequency to the maximum, and try to block the detector's signal. Leo, Jax, Maya, stop what you are doing and return to the laboratory immediately. Clara, prepare the emergency defense system— we may have to face another wave of attacks before Ella's team arrives."
The busy atmosphere in the laboratory suddenly became tense again. Everyone stopped their work and quickly took their positions. Leo, Jax, and Maya rushed back to the laboratory, holding their energy weapons, and their eyes were firmly fixed on the entrance of the cave. Clara quickly adjusted the laboratory's emergency defense system, and the energy barrier around the laboratory was strengthened again, emitting a strong blue light.
Elias stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the distant mountain road. The spiritual energy crystal in his pocket emitted a warm light, and the 62% brain awakening energy in his body was fully activated. His "mind prediction" ability was fully opened, and he tried to lock the position of the unknown detector. But the detector's signal was very hidden, and it was constantly moving, making it difficult to lock its specific position.
"Lumina, can you track the movement trajectory of the detector?" Elias asked in his mind.
"Tracking in progress," Lumina responded, "the detector is moving in a circular trajectory around the laboratory, with a distance of about 3 kilometers from us. It is using a stealth mode, and its signal is intermittent, making it difficult to fully track. I estimate that it will take about 10 minutes to lock its specific position. But during this time, it may have already detected our position and sent a signal to Victor's main force."
Elias' eyes narrowed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He knew that if the detector sent a signal to Victor's main force, they would be surrounded by Victor's troops before Ella's team arrived. At that time, they would be in a very dangerous situation— Nora was injured and unable to fight, the team's combat effectiveness was reduced, and the laboratory's defense system was not yet fully strengthened.
"We can't wait," Elias said firmly, "Leo, Jax, you two take a team of two, go around to the left and right sides of the detector's movement trajectory, and try to find it. Maya, you go to the high ground again, use the sniper rifle to search for the detector— once you find it, destroy it immediately. Lumina, you continue to strengthen the signal interference, and at the same time, send a signal to Ella's team, asking them to speed up their progress."
"Understood!" Leo, Jax, and Maya responded in unison, quickly picked up their weapons, and rushed out of the laboratory.
Elias stood at the entrance of the cave, watching them leave, his heart full of anxiety. He knew that this was a race against time— if they could destroy the detector before it sent a signal, they would be safe; if not, they would face a fierce battle. The spiritual energy crystal in his pocket was still emitting a warm light, as if comforting him, giving him strength.
At this moment, Clara walked over, stood beside Elias, and said softly: "Don't worry, Leo and the others are very powerful, and they will definitely find the detector. Besides, Ella's team is already on their way, and they will arrive soon. We have done our best to prepare, and we can definitely deal with this crisis."
Elias nodded, looking at Clara, and said: "Thank you, Clara. I just hope that Nora can recover soon, and that we can get through this crisis safely. Victor is too powerful, and we can't afford any mistakes."
"We won't make mistakes," Clara said, her eyes full of firmness. "We have each other, and we have the spiritual energy crystal. We will definitely defeat Victor and end his dark plan. Trust me, trust the team."
Elias took a deep breath, the anxiety in his heart gradually subsided. He looked at the distant mountain road, and the sound of the wind seemed to be mixed with the sound of the detector's faint beep. He knew that the battle was not over yet, and the next challenge was coming. But this time, he was not alone— he had his father, his teammates, and the upcoming allies. He had the courage and strength to face all the dangers.
Just as he was about to turn around and return to the laboratory to check Nora's condition, Lumina's urgent voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Elias! Found the detector! It's on the top of the mountain 3 kilometers away, and it's sending a signal to Victor's main force! Maya has locked its position, but she is too far away, and the detector is protected by an energy shield— she can't destroy it in one shot! Leo and Jax are still on their way, and it will take 5 minutes to reach there!"
Elias' expression changed drastically. He raised his head, looked at the top of the mountain in the distance, and the 62% brain awakening energy in his body fully erupted. The spiritual energy crystal in his pocket emitted a strong golden light, which wrapped around his body. "I'll go!" He shouted, and without waiting for Clara's response, he rushed towards the top of the mountain at a high speed. His body was strengthened by the symbiotic energy, and his speed was faster than ever before, leaving a faint afterimage on the mountain road.
Clara looked at his back, her eyes full of worry, but she also knew that this was the only way. She quickly picked up the intercom and said: "Maya, hold on, Elias is on his way to you. Try to interfere with the detector's signal, don't let it send the information to Victor's main force. Leo, Jax, speed up, we need to support Elias as soon as possible!"
On the top of the mountain, the unknown detector was suspended in the air, emitting a faint red light, and a beam of signal was shooting into the sky, trying to send the position of the laboratory to Victor's main force. Maya lay on the high ground not far away, her sniper rifle aimed at the detector, but the energy shield around the detector was very strong, and her energy bullets could only leave a small mark on the shield, unable to break it.
"Damn it," Maya cursed in a low voice, adjusting the parameters of the sniper rifle, increasing the energy output of the bullets. "Hurry up, Elias, otherwise it will be too late!"
The detector's red light became brighter and brighter, and the signal beam became stronger and stronger. It was about to complete the signal transmission. At this critical moment, a golden figure rushed over at a high speed— it was Elias. He jumped up, his right hand raised, and the golden crystal energy in his hand gathered into a huge energy ball, which was thrown towards the detector with all his strength.
"Break it!" Elias shouted, his eyes full of determination. The golden energy ball hit the detector's energy shield with a loud "bang", and the violent energy collision made a harsh "sizzling" sound. The energy shield of the detector flickered rapidly, and the light dimmed rapidly under the erosion of the crystal energy.
The detector seemed to sense the danger, and the signal beam became more urgent, trying to complete the transmission before the shield was broken. Elias' eyes narrowed, and he poured all the 62% brain awakening energy into the energy ball, making the golden energy more powerful. The energy shield of the detector finally couldn't hold on, and with a "crack" sound, it shattered into pieces.
The golden energy ball hit the detector directly, and the detector exploded into pieces with a loud "boom". The signal beam disappeared instantly, and the red light went out. Elias fell to the ground, gasping heavily, and the 62% brain awakening energy in his body was almost exhausted. He felt a strong sense of exhaustion, and his legs were a little weak.
"Elias!" Maya rushed over quickly, helped him up, and said with relief: "You did it! The detector is destroyed, and the signal didn't get sent out!"
Elias smiled weakly, nodded, and said: "Great… we… we are safe for the time being."
At this moment, Leo and Jax also rushed over, looking at the broken detector, and let out a sigh of relief. Jax patted Elias on the shoulder, grinning: "Elias, you are so awesome! That energy ball is too powerful— you almost exhausted all your energy, right? Next time, leave this kind of thing to me, I can handle it!"
Leo shook his head with a smile, helped Elias up, and said: "Let's go back to the laboratory quickly. You need to rest, and Ella's team is about to arrive. We have to prepare for their arrival."
Elias nodded, supported by Maya and Leo, and walked down the mountain. The sun had risen completely, and the golden sunlight shone on the mountain, covering the mountain road with a layer of golden light. Although he was very tired, his heart was full of hope. He knew that they had won another small victory, and with the arrival of Ella's team, their strength would be further strengthened. The battle against Victor's dark symbiosis network was still going on, but he was more confident than ever before.
When they returned to the cave laboratory, Clara immediately rushed over, took out a nutrient solution, and injected it into Elias' body. "Your energy is almost exhausted, and the symbiotic energy in your body is seriously insufficient," she said, frowning, "you need to rest in the medical cabin for a while to recover your energy. Otherwise, your body will be damaged."
Elias nodded, walked into the medical cabin next to Nora's, and the medical cabin closed slowly. The warm white light wrapped around his body, and the nutrient solution and symbiotic energy were continuously injected into his body, helping him recover his strength. He looked at Nora in the next medical cabin, and a smile appeared on his face. He knew that they would all recover soon, and then they would welcome the new allies and start a new battle.
About an hour later, Lumina's voice sounded in the laboratory: "Ella's team has arrived at the entrance of the cave, and their identity has been verified. They are all reliable, and there is no problem."
Clara smiled, walked to the entrance of the cave, and opened the energy barrier. A group of people walked in, led by a woman with short black hair, wearing a black tactical uniform, with a firm expression and sharp eyes— she was Ella, the person in charge of the Dawn Collective. Behind her, there were 11 people, including a woman with glasses who was holding a laptop (Lena), a man with a beard who was carrying a large bag of mechanical parts (Todd), and other combatants, technical personnel, and medical personnel.
Ella walked up to Clara, stretched out her hand, and said with a smile: "Clara, long time no see. I'm glad we finally met. Elias is resting, right? We brought a lot of equipment and materials, which can help you improve the symbiotic chip and strengthen the laboratory's defense system."
Clara shook her hand, smiled and said: "Welcome, Ella. Elias is resting in the medical cabin, and Nora is also resting there. Thanks to you for coming so quickly— we just encountered a crisis, and Victor sent an advanced detector to track us. Fortunately, Elias destroyed it in time."
Lena walked over, pushed her glasses, and said with a calm expression: "Victor's advanced detector is very difficult to deal with. It uses a stealth mode and a high-frequency signal, which is difficult to detect. But don't worry, I can optimize your signal jammer and add a stealth detection function, so that we can detect Victor's detector in advance next time."
Todd patted the large bag of mechanical parts on his back, grinned, and said in a rough voice: "I heard that you have a lot of energy weapons that need to be modified? And someone wants a flying skateboard? Don't worry, leave it to me. I can modify your weapons to be more powerful, and the flying skateboard is also a piece of cake— but you have to prepare enough crystal energy, because the flying skateboard needs a crystal energy core to drive it."
Jax, who was standing aside, immediately became excited: "You are Todd? Great! I'm Jax, and I'm the one who wants the flying skateboard. Can you modify it for me first? I can't wait to try it!"
Todd looked at Jax, grinned, and said: "No problem, kid. But you have to help me carry the mechanical parts first. After I finish modifying the weapons for the team, I'll make a flying skateboard for you— guaranteed to be cool and powerful, so you can fly around the battlefield."
"Great! I'll help you carry it right away!" Jax said happily, and immediately ran over to help Todd carry the mechanical parts, making everyone laugh.
At this moment, the medical cabin where Elias was located opened slowly. Elias walked out, his face had recovered a lot, and the 62% brain awakening energy in his body had basically recovered. He walked up to Ella, stretched out his hand, and said with a firm expression: "Ella, welcome to join us. Thank you for bringing the team here. Let's work together to stop Victor's dark symbiosis network and save all the people who are hurt by him."
Ella shook his hand, her eyes full of firmness: "Elias, we have been waiting for this day for a long time. The Dawn Collective has always believed that you are the one who can end Victor's dark plan. With your leadership, with the spiritual energy crystal, and with all of us working together, we will definitely be able to defeat Victor and bring peace to the world."
The sun shone through the cracks of the cave, casting golden light on everyone. The team members stood together, their eyes full of firmness and hope. They knew that the road ahead would be full of dangers and challenges, but they also knew that as long as they united, they would be able to overcome all difficulties and defeat Victor. The battle against the dark symbiosis network was about to enter a new stage, and a more intense battle was waiting for them— but they were ready.
