Chapter 360.
They were working based on the logic of the password Sean Voss had provided. Sean had mentioned that the codes followed a specific mathematical pattern. This was a backup measure so that the armory could still be opened even if all three authorized personnel weren’t They had planned for every contingency.
Hudson and the others had to swap their oxygen tanks three times before they finally cracked the pattern.
The comms specialist had his laptop sealed in a waterproof bag, his fingers flying across the keys as he decoded the lock.
The lights connected to the massive vault door were flashing incessantly, displaying a countdown.
If they couldn’t finish the hack before the lights stopped flashing, the door would be permanently sealed.
Josie waited, her heart hammering against her ribs.
But she knew that getting anxious wouldn’t help. This wasn’t something she could rush.
She kept mentally encouraging herself.
She hoped her decoy was still successfully fooling the Undead back at the base.
present.
Undead were still Undead. Low-level ones, in particular, didn’t have much intelligence; they were like children and were easily tricked.
But if Cyrus Finch or Lord Vane were there, the ruse wouldn’t last long.

Josie could only pray that Cyrus wouldn’t catch on too early. She needed a buffer.
Minute by minute, the time ticked away.
Just as the team was swapping their oxygen tanks for the fourth time, the countdown on the door finally hit zero.
*Click!*
The door unlocked!
The team’s spirits surged instantly.
Because they were underwater, the pressure outside was immense. They had to open the pressure valves first to equalize the interior and exterior before they could enter.
Seconds felt like hours.
Everyone’s nerves were pulled taut.
*Beep. Beep. Beep.*
Pressure stabilized.
Josie gave a powerful yank, and the heavy door hissed open.
But just as the team was about to rush inside, the one sound they dreaded most echoed behind them,
Γ
“Oh? So it was hidden here after all!” Cyrus Finch’s voice vang out, laced with amusement. “You’ve all worked so hard!”
Normal people couldn’t speak underwater, but Cyrus could.
This was the sheer dominance of Psychic Superpower. He could do what others found impossible. He used his mental energy to project his voice directly into their neural pathways.
Josie silently cursed under her breath.
“Get inside! I’ll hold him off!” Josie signaled frantically. “Go! Now!”
After signaling her team, Josie swam directly toward Cyrus Finch.
Suddenly, June Quinn appeared behind him.
June was an Aquatic Super. In the ocean, she was truly in her element
Chapter 360.
Turglared at fosie with pure, unadulterated malice, her lips moving as she spoke. “My dear sister, you didn’t expect this, did you? You’re on my home tuff now! In this ocean, my Aquatic Superpower is invincible! I have waited for ftris day for far too long!”
Josie’s expression turned grim, he heart, sinking deeper with every passing second.
If it were just Cyrus Finch, she might have had a chance. But with June Quinn there, her odds plummeted.
June’s power might have been built entirely on a pile of stolen Undead Cores, but the ocean was June’s domain. She had an infinite supply of water elements at her disposal.
On land, June was no match for her. But in the water? Josie was at a severe disadvantage.
*What do I do? What do I do!*
Josie’s brain whirled at a frantic speed.
She had never been this tense in her life. The nuclear warheads were right behind her. She had to take them!
Even if it cost her half her life, she wouldn’t let them go!
It seemed she would have to make some sacrifices today.
Josie spun around and bolted toward the interior of the vault.
“Stop her!” Cyrus commanded June. “Don’t let her get near those warheads!”
“Watch me!” June sneered. She raised her hand and launched an attack at Josie’s back.

A high-pressure water arrow streaked through the sea, aimed directly at Josie’s spine.
Josie only had time to stack two layers of defense behind her.
A metal shield reinforced with a layer of vine armor.
However, both were pierced almost instantly.
Josie couldn’t help but cough up a mouthful of blood..
*Splurt!*
The seawater around her was instantly stained a dark, blooming red
< Chapter 361
Chapter 361.
Though Josie Quinn was injured, she used the force of June Quinn’s water arrow to accelerate her forward.
Seeing Josie hurt, June was consumed by a manic excitement.
She had waited for this day for far, far too long.
Finally, she could crush Josie!
Hahahaha!
The moment had finally arrived!
Risking her life to rank up with Undead Cores had been worth it.
Totally worth it!
June fired two more water arrows in quick succession.
Josie had no intention of fighting back against her. She braced herself and took both hits directly.
*Splurt! Splurt!*
She spat out more blood.
Even with her Plant-type healing, her face turned a ghostly, visible shade of white.
It was clear how much power June had put into those three arrows.
However, the impact also successfully opened the distance between them. Josie shot like a bullet into the heart of the weapon base. Once Josie was inside, Cyrus Finch suddenly snapped. He backhanded June across the face. “You fool! You just pushed her right inside!” June’s smugness vanished as the realization hit her.
“I’ll go after her!” June shouted.
With a burst of speed, June dove into the base after Josie.
The advantage of the Aquatic Superpower was being invincible in the water. June was right on Josie’s heels as they entered the facility. Without even looking back, Josie flung a flurry of flying daggers behind her.
*Clang! Clang! Clang!”
