The night is solemn, the night sky covers half the world since the sun left,
Although the sea of lights of human civilization is brilliant and bright, outside the urban area, the night still maintains its most primitive appearance, dark, vast, and boundless,
Lake Superior is as silent as the sea as far as the eye can see in the night.
One of the five great lakes in North America, it has the largest freshwater lake in the world and can cover the fourth water storage capacity of 30 cm in the combined area of North America and South America.
Somewhere on its frozen western shore, hundreds of kilometers from downtown Minneapolis,
The facilities and buildings in an entire area stand quietly at night.
Surrounding a building like a research institute, factories, workshops, warehouses, and a central open space, everything in this facility is strictly surrounded,
Backed by a vast lake, it is located alone in a barren and remote place in the nearby land.
"That's it?"
After driving through the wilderness in the night and slamming the car door, Celika looked at the buildings not far away that were only silhouetted in the night,
"It looks like it should be right, just like what the agent said."
After confirming the equipment, confirming the physical condition, and getting ready for battle, Ryder spoke out calmly.
"A reconnaissance and detection device that does not match any model on the market, and at least one of the opponents has a B-level or higher technologist, we may not be able to deal with it,"
The mechanical bird picked up the 'sentinel' that had been unplugged along the way, and the action was about to begin, and the smile on Xi'an's face no longer disappeared, but the calm edge of a participant appeared.
"It's really curious, how does the company get involved with the participants in reality?"
"Don't worry about insignificant things, we're just here tonight to complete the agent's commission, hold those guys in that factory for 40 minutes, and create time for that ace to sneak into the investigation,"
Reminding him of the rules for the participants to accept the entrustment, Celica said the content of the tasks they were responsible for tonight,
"Remember to limit the scope of the battle to the vicinity of the factory as much as possible, and prepare for action."
Saying the last request, her cheetah-like vigorous figure rushed directly towards the factory, silently and swiftly in the darkness of night,
And also with a flash of figure, all kinds of night vision auxiliary equipment were activated, and everyone else followed her footsteps.
He also opened his black eyes, Fangran's figure followed at the end, and approached the factory with everyone in secret,
Under the night, the silhouette of the research institute has become bigger and is close at hand.
But at this moment!
Haiji warned, Fangran's black eyes moved, Celika suddenly stopped at the front, and shouted to everyone behind him:
"Everyone stop!!"
Then in the next second, a flaming arrow pierced the night sky without warning, the sonic sound was piercing, and the explosion roar followed!
Bang-boom! !
In the midst of the roar, they stopped abruptly and put up defenses when they heard the warning. Annabelle, Lynn...including Fangran, everyone blocked the impact of the air wave,
Raising the arm armor in front of his face, Celika watched the familiar attack destroy the place they almost passed by just now,
Taking advantage of the trend to disperse the smoke and dust, without thinking about the useless question of how to be discovered, she coldly raised her eyes to look at the figures that jumped out of the factory of the research institute at this moment,
one two three four five six!
A strong lineup of six B-level participants!
But compared to the number, Celica looked at the six people first, the capable woman holding a flame bow with supernatural powers in her hand, wearing technological goggles and tied hair, and the one next to her who looked expressionless man,
The moment she saw the two of them, a solemn expression flashed in her eyes and she said slowly:
"Hermia, Isibald."
"Long time no see, but unfortunately, we are not in the same team this time, Celica."
The indifferent man named Isibold greeted Celica as if he was familiar with it,
But at the moment standing at the back, Fangran's dark eyes looked down at the familiar figure standing at the front among the six people,
Rufus Russell!
"How did you find this place!?"
He didn't expect that the Fiseld CEO that he wanted to catch the night before was right in front of his eyes. Rufus looked at Fangran and the others at this moment, but questioned in disbelief,
Then seeing that Celika and others did not have any intention of answering,
His expression sank, and his words were cold and threatening:
"Although I don't know who hired you and how you found this place, don't think you can leave easily tonight!"
The voice fell, and the moment he heard him speak like this,
The man named Isibold by his side raised his hand without any warning, and a metal weapon with a strange shape whirled around to make two tingling cutting sounds.
It was lightning fast! It shot at Fangran, who was the lowest in the field!
This guy! !
Even though he is a B-rank superior, he did not hesitate to attack a C-rank with this sneak attack, knowing that he is more mean than despicable, but purely profit-oriented and feels that it is very cost-effective to directly kill the other party's C-rank.
Seeing that sudden sneak attack of a powerful B-level, he knew that he was the only one who would take care of that young man,
Celika frowned slightly, and was about to block the blow,
But a figure is faster than her!
Boom—
The delicate and glamorous female figure stood in front of Fangran for a moment, the power was activated, and the thrust of the jet hit the sneak attack directly,
Then her face turned cold and dangerous, Annabella stared at Isibold's location, activated her ability under the special heel, and directly killed him without any nonsense!
Almost at the same time, the longbow with condensed flames in her hand was raised, and when the woman whose face was covered by the eyepiece was about to block it,
The pitch-black and transparent space ball suddenly enveloped her!
The moment she sensed the high-risk ability of space devouring, Hermia dodged directly, and a piece of the ground she stood on disappeared and a flat hole appeared out of thin air.
Before he could stand still, he saw the beam of energy weapon firing towards him!
At this moment, whether it was Celica, Ryder, or Sion, they were all amazed by Annabella's help and strong counterattack just now, and Lynn who did not hesitate to do it.
The operation that was originally planned to sneak into the factory began suddenly,
Also without hesitation, the technological armor was activated on his body, and Celica turned into a streamer charge while decisively speaking to the combat communication:
"Separate the battlefield separately! Don't care about winning or losing, just delay the time as much as possible!"
On the other side, I didn't expect other people to help so kindly. While avoiding the violently rushing black spikes, Isibold spoke calmly and indifferently to Rufus who hired them:
"Leave her to me, and you ask someone to deal with that C-level kid first."
Needless to say, before facing Celika's figure rushing like a blade, Rufus waved his hand, and then the technological equipment activated the defense of the force field light wall!
On the other side, Ryder and Sion also met the other two B-level opponents, and the black beam's ability and the mechanical bird appeared under the night!
"Boy! Find a way to let that guy in, and then get out of here quickly!"
And listening to the channel of the combat communication, Celika's cold reminder came, which was different from that at the Coastal Manor.
Fangran's black eyes widened as he watched a Class B rushing towards him fiercely this time!
In the dark night of Lake Superior, on the wasteland near the factory of the Mystery Research Institute, the melee of the participants was on the verge of breaking out.
The factory investigation to recover tens of billions of dollars suddenly started!
