The moment the violent explosion occurred, the entire Mingcheng's warning system was activated, the piercing alarm sounded throughout the city, and the security robots were deployed in full force -
Public communications within the Mingcheng Church Army were chaotic and noisy:
"What happened?! Where did the explosion happen???"
"Intruder... Intruder spotted at the north gate!!!"
"What?! How come satellite monitoring and radar don't show anything?!!"
"… "
So, amidst the earth-shaking alarms and chaotic communication channels, the guard officer in charge of the outer wall security of Ming City was the only one who managed to remain calm.
"Report the situation of the invaders right now. How many people are there? Their internal organizational structure? The number and energy level of the weapons they carry? Detect the level of their mechas... Now! Bring the invasion screen here now!"
In fact, these questions are the most basic and should be reported immediately when the intruder is discovered. However, until Guard Officer Lauren asked two or three times, the person in charge of the guard post in front did not answer.
"… "
The voices on the public communication channel suddenly fell silent. Only the continuous sound of gunfire, explosions and collapses from the front line could be heard, causing the ground to vibrate slightly.
"?"
Guard Officer Lauren was so furious and confused that he slammed his fist on the table and shouted in the communication channel -
"What's going on!!! They've already beaten us to our doorstep, can't you count how many people there are? Now everyone is speechless, right?!!!"
"… "
At this time, the people in charge of radar and monitoring detection were silent at the same time. After a long while, they answered cautiously,
"Radar and surveillance have not detected any large-scale forces or groups..."
"The signal monitoring did not detect the mecha core signal. It is initially determined that the intruder did not carry a mecha..."
"The energy reaction at the explosion point is about 1300. It is initially confirmed to be a K235 type single-soldier electromagnetic cannon..."
"… "
But as the feedback came one after another, the guard felt something was wrong.
"What's going on? What's wrong with this result?! Is there something wrong with your eyes, or is there something wrong with the system?!!!"
"No... We have checked it many times."
So it’s not that they don’t want to answer, but the result is too unbelievable, so they checked it repeatedly at the first time, and only replied now after confirming that it is correct.
The man frowned, and based on the information he had collected so far, he came to an incredible conclusion.
Because if this feedback is true, it is very likely that the invader is just one person, and he is not carrying any mecha or large-scale attack weapons or equipment, and he came in alone.
This result is simply incredible!!!
Therefore, the guard officer did not speak out rashly at the first time, but unconsciously opened his eyes as wide as possible, because this was too strange and impossible to happen. After all, this was completely different from the enemy invasion he had imagined.
Until the battle footage from the front line was brought over—
Or to be more precise, the intruder came here on his own initiative.
Because the first thing that appeared in the picture was a hand covering the camera. Then the other party adjusted the angle and let the camera point to his face.
A masked black-haired boy appeared on the big screen in the security department's control room. There were clearly several Mingcheng security mechas in his background, but at this moment they were all standing still strangely, with no intention of launching an attack.
At this moment, everyone was on high alert, thinking that the other party was going to make some arrogant sarcasm or a terrible invasion plan, but the next second, Huo Xianfeng casually waved at the camera.
"Hey, good evening everyone, have you eaten?"
Everyone who was waiting in full vigilance: "..."
Suddenly choked.
have you eaten
have you eaten??!!!!
Are you here to visit me because you are full? ? ?
No one expected that the first sentence the invader said would be this. For a moment, everyone was shocked and unbelievable, and no one answered.
In the picture, the young man's deep black phoenix eyes reflected the flames of the explosion in the distance. Although his expression was calm and his tone was even relaxed, it made people feel as if there was a dark and fierce fire burning inside.
He hummed softly and asked very politely:
"Excuse me, how do you get to the nearest weapons depot?"
Guard Officer Lauren: “…”
Everyone in the room watching the video: “… ”
For a moment, they all suspected that they were dreaming.
The intruder is asking them for directions
And asked for directions very politely
"Ar…Arsenal…?"
I don't know who repeated the sentence absentmindedly, and the boy in the picture obviously heard it. He nodded, and his tone was as casual as if he was going to the supermarket to buy some vegetables.
"Yes, I'm going to blow it up now."
Everyone: “…”
"?"
"?"
At this moment, no one can control or imagine the expression on their face.
No, are you crazy or are we crazy? ! ! !
No, this world is crazy.
How could someone openly invade someone else's military base and then ask for directions
And what he asked was how to get to the most important weapons depot, and was it really okay to state his purpose so directly? ? ?
Even Lauren, the most serious and solemn guard officer on weekdays, couldn't help but twitch his forehead and could hardly hold his expression at this moment.
Too arrogant!
It's so arrogant!!!
These two light words are even more humiliating than the most sharp and direct sarcasm.
Lauren couldn't stand it anymore, turned around and gave a stern order -
"Locate him immediately! Send out all nearby guards. Use of extreme violence is allowed. Internal damage within a certain range is allowed. Capture him at all costs!!!"
After giving the order, the guard officer turned around suddenly and issued the most ferocious threat in a stern voice:
"Boy, don't let me catch you! Otherwise..."
Huh
He paused in the middle of his words because the young man who was supposed to appear on the big screen was now gone.
"… "
The man turned his head, his tone extremely angry.
“Where are the people—?!”
At this time, a person next to him replied cautiously: "Laurent... Sir Lauren, when you gave the order loudly just now, he left and said... and said..."
"say what?!!"
"He said thank you for the directions, and he has found it."
"… "
found it
How did you find it
Did he just say where the weapons cache is
Lauren stood there in a daze. The extreme shock and self-doubt made him unable to recover for a while.
At this time, the investigation team in charge of the sentry finally sent a belated confirmation report -
They said that there was indeed only one intruder, and according to feedback from the capture team on the front line, the other party had gone straight to the nearest No. 3 weapons depot.
"… "
one person?!!!
Probably no one would have thought that someone would dare to attack Mingcheng so blatantly. You have to know that this is an important military base. Not only are there a large number of mecha fighter jets, but also all kinds of new weapons are being developed here.
The entire Ming City was heavily guarded, with strict surveillance within a kilometer radius, and even satellite weapons in the sky. In short, even if the imperial army invaded, the commander of the First Legion, Zhou Jiuya, would have to think twice.
There is actually someone who dares to come up head-on with an electromagnetic cannon alone.
Is this really not a dream? ! !
"etc… "
The guard officer suddenly woke up from his dream. He grabbed the collar of the guard beside him and asked in a stern voice,
"What did you just say?! Where... where did he go???"
The latter trembled and said, "It is said that it is the No. 3...Arsenal No. 3..."
"… "
The guard officer felt a black screen before his eyes.
boom!!!
At the same time, less than 200 meters away from the No. 3 weapons depot, another large explosion occurred. Huo Xianfeng suddenly jumped up from the flames of the explosion, and the next second, a dense swarm of drones followed him. He turned freely in the air and narrowly avoided the dense shooting and stray bullets.
The next second, the boy jumped down from a high altitude and with a "bang" smashed the hemispherical glass dome below.
Crash!!!
Amidst the cascading glass fragments, Huo Xianfeng suddenly fell to the ground and rolled on the spot to relieve himself of most of the gravity. The moment he left the spot, the spot where he had landed was turned into a pool of liquid metal by the magma rays that shot out.
At this moment, the ground shook dully and the roar of mecha fighter planes could be heard from all directions; the fully armed guard troops, including drones and mechanical soldiers, gathered towards Huo Xianfeng like a group of sharks smelling blood in the deep sea.
Dazzling blood-red warning lights lit up everywhere, and sharp alarms sounded one after another.
The outer city of Mingcheng announced that it had entered a level three combat readiness state.
“Warning, warning!”
"Intruder, you have been surrounded, surrender immediately, otherwise your life will not be guaranteed!"
"I repeat, intruder, you have been surrounded, surrender immediately, otherwise your life will not be guaranteed!"
"repeat… "
Huo Xianfeng frowned, feeling annoyed by the noise, so he picked up a piece of broken glass.
Snapped!
The sound system on the inside of the wall suddenly shattered.
The world is quiet.
The young man glanced at the blood-red lights outside, then immediately turned inside. The enemy was outnumbered, and the best way was to use the building to weaken the enemy's advantage. He did not immediately destroy the surveillance as he had done before, but instead showed his position to the enemy to the greatest extent possible.
This could be considered a feint attack. Huo Xianfeng needed to buy time and space for Jiang Ci to charge Bai Ze.
He roughly identified the direction and headed straight for the armory.
As for why Huo Xianfeng knew the location of the weapons depot...
Probably inspired by Nora.
The Zerg are particularly sensitive to the energy contained in metal, and the human arsenal is simply a gathering place of energy in the eyes of the Zerg. However, the troops naturally need to take weapons, which means that the garrison troops gathered together will also be a huge energy group. So when Guard Officer Lauren mobilized all the garrison troops to capture Huo Xianfeng, they would start to move.
So finally—
The largest remaining but motionless energy ball is where the weapons depot is located.
It turned out that Huo Xianfeng had found the right location, because most of the enemies he encountered along the way were not pursuers, but blockades. This meant that the enemy was waiting on the road he had to take to get to the armory.
This also precisely shows that—
This is the right direction!
Beep, beep, beep—
Dozens of mechas outside quickly chased after him, and the radar detected Huo Xianfeng moving rapidly inside the building. The next second, the muzzle of the gun rotated out from the shoulder.
aim!
emission!
boom!!!
The shell shattered the metal outer wall, and the air inside was violently torn apart. The violent explosion and the rapidly rising temperature caused countless air currents to collide with each other in a disorderly manner, exploding in all directions.
Bang bang bang!
Countless glasses suddenly shattered, and the loud sound almost pierced the human eardrums.
But this was nothing to Huo Xianfeng. He found a blind spot to avoid the first round of explosions with the most energy, then quickly turned over and jumped out of the broken window before the second round of bombing arrived.
At this time, looking at the rapidly moving dot on the radar, even the mecha pilot couldn't help but curse.
"Damn! He can really run!!!"
"Who is this guy? Why is he so slippery like a loach???"
"That's the latest energy cannon, and it's not dead yet?!!!"
"Fuck, this guy is just like a monster—"
"… "
monster
—Probably.
So far, Huo Xianfeng hadn't even had a scratch on his skin. He even ran for so long that he just warmed up.
But it must be said that Mingcheng is Mingcheng. Compared with the Tiandongxing Guard and the Baigucheng factory, the defense forces of both sides are not at the same level. Huo Xianfeng had just opened up a distance of dozens of meters from the mecha troops chasing behind, and turned his head and ran into a group of guard robots head-on.
I have to say that the opponent's entire pursuit and interception mobility and coordination were perfect.
The young man raised his eyes without any reaction, and his deep black eyes reflected dense red light.
At this time, Huo Xianfeng no longer had time to dodge before the shell left the barrel. The space here was too narrow, and the oncoming cannon light was almost as dense as a rainstorm. No matter which direction he dodged, he could not escape the terrible attack range.
At this moment, Huo Xianfeng stood in place, looked up and looked at a mecha not far away.
Ding, the command is confirmed.
Wow!
Dense laser beams were coming towards him. If it were someone else, he would have been shot into a sieve on the spot and turned into a pool of blood and flesh.
But at this moment, a huge energy shield shot out like a flying sword, directly cutting into the ground in front of Huo Xianfeng, accurately blocking the rays that should have penetrated the invader's body.
Wow!
The rays from the other surroundings penetrated the wall directly, leaving countless charred holes. Then, the broken metal wall flowed down like melted chocolate in the extremely high temperature.
"Varied… "
Everyone was stunned by this scene.
The mecha pilots turned their heads and looked at the traitors in their team. It took them a long time to come back to their senses and start cursing.
"Ace you are fucking sick!!!"
"Stop talking nonsense and arrest him..."
The mecha that had just fired the energy shield froze in mid-air. The pilot inside looked pale as he explained tremblingly.
"No... not..."
It wasn't an order from him.
But no one was listening to his explanation at this time. He saved the intruder in front of everyone, so it was hard not to suspect that he was an insider. So the next second, before he could even finish his explanation, he was shot down by the captain.
"Lock him up and interrogate him later. Everyone else, follow me to chase him!!!"
"yes!"
At this time, Huo Xianfeng had already found the armory.
This is a huge metal building, a hemispherical fortress, nearly 100 meters high. Even the main gate requires one to tilt their heads up 75 degrees to see the top.
But before Huo Xianfeng could raise his head, the pursuers behind him followed. Dozens of mechas, some resting in mid-air, some standing on the ground, as well as dense groups of drones and many soldiers wearing mechanical prostheses, in short, they could form a small force for a surprise attack.
In almost an instant, Huo Xianfeng was blocked at the door of the armory.
"etc,"
The leading commander seemed to have received some urgent order and said urgently on the public communication channel,
"Pay attention, it says to catch them alive!"
So the soldiers and mechas who were about to launch an attack immediately stopped their actions and switched to weapons with less damage. However, even so, with such a dense encirclement, no matter how powerful the invader was, he probably couldn't escape.
What's more, the opponent had no mecha and only had a single-person cannon on his body, which made him look completely threatening.
Huo Xianfeng stood quietly at the door of the armory and glanced at the time on his watch.
After all, Xiao X was broken, and he needed to calculate the time, so he took an electronic watch from Bai Ze's storage warehouse.
This action, which was not even considered an attack, made many people relax. They raised their guns and cannons towards Huo Xianfeng, aiming at every fatal point on the boy's body.
A mecha pilot at the front came forward and shouted—
"Hey kid! Just listen to me and surrender. Maybe you can still live for a few minutes!"
The next second—
BANG BANG BANG!!!
Dense bullets hit three meters in front of Huo Xianfeng's feet, leaving countless bullet holes on the smooth ground.
"… "
Huo Xianfeng raised his eyebrows slightly.
He knew that this was a threat that was clearly humiliating.
"Huh?"
"This kid didn't hide? Is he scared silly?"
"What are you talking about blowing up the weapons depot? Now I'm afraid you can't even get through the door, hahahaha..."
"… "
At this moment, more than a dozen huge mechas were standing guard in the rear, while in front, dozens of soldiers wearing mechanical prostheses slowly surrounded Huo Xianfeng. After all, the order from above was to capture him alive.
At this moment, the young man was surrounded by dense pursuers in front of him and the closed door of the armory was behind him. He was forced into a dead end and seemed to have nowhere to retreat.
"… "
Huo Xianfeng didn't say anything. He looked back at the locked door, then carried the cannon on one shoulder.
"Wait a minute!!!"
"This guy doesn't think he's using..."
boom!
A loud explosion drowned out all the voices and the ground shook violently for several seconds.
But when the blinding light faded, the giant metal door in front of them remained motionless except for some charred marks.
—That is to say, it didn’t explode.
"… "
Huo Xianfeng raised his eyebrows and made a soft "tsk" sound.
There was silence at first, and then a burst of laughter broke out.
"Boy, do you know what an A-level defensive metal door is?!"
"You think you can blow open the door of the armory with just a broken cannon barrel? Are you still asleep?!"
"I am dying of laughter. Someone actually used a single-person cannon to blow up a Class A defense door. I can laugh at this joke for a whole year!!!"
"… "
Snap!
The boy threw the heavy metal barrel to the ground, where it rolled half a circle.
Some people thought this meant giving up struggling and mocked,
"Oh, now you know to turn back when you hit the wall. Just now..."
Huo Xianfeng threw away the cannon barrel, ignored it, and turned to walk towards the gate.
Because of the angle at which he was facing away, no one could see that the boy's left eye no longer looked human. His sharp, cold vertical pupil shone brightly in the shadows.
He found a suitable spot and raised his hand slightly.
With a blank expression, he punched him!
boom!!!!!
The terrible vibration directly shook the ground within a radius of 100 meters. Even the mechas standing on the ground at the back staggered due to the violent shaking.
Click!
A crack suddenly appeared under Huo Xianfeng's fist, and then -
The smooth metal gate suddenly collapsed with a diameter of nearly ten meters.
Click, click, click!
Countless dense cracks, starting from the center of his fist, spread out in all directions like an electric current. Finally, in front of everyone's dull gaze, the A-level defense door was easily shattered.
Snapped-
Some people experienced auditory hallucinations, hearing sounds similar to those of being slapped in the face.
"… "
No one spoke, and they even forgot that the man in front of them was the target of their mission, which they had to capture alive at all costs. The expressions on everyone's faces seemed to become uncontrollable at this moment.
For example, a sleepwalking expression.
Like the look on your face where you’re fucking making fun of me.
To break down an A-class defense door with bare hands, this would require an S-class mecha, or a mecha with heavy physical attack capabilities.
But one person crushed it easily with his bare hands.
"… "
I don't know who gasped first.
What kind of monster is this...
Is this really something humans can do
The huge shock and the scene beyond cognition have made most people unable to think. Countless eyes, either shocked, dull or terrified, are fixed on the boy's back.
The next second, Huo Xianfeng turned his head back calmly, uttered an ambiguous chuckle, and then in front of everyone—
With one hand in his pocket, he swaggered into the armory.
"… "
That's a mockery, right
That must be a mockery, right? ! ! !
Ten minutes later, Jiang Ci saw a huge explosion inside.
It was no longer a simple small explosion caused by a single shell, but an entire weapons depot was blown up.
The blazing flames almost turned the darkness into day, and the third-level alert originally activated in Mingcheng was instantly raised to the first level.
—This is the signal they agreed on.
Jiang Ci pulled up his black hood. His outfit at this moment almost covered himself up without leaving any space. There was a breathing mask on his face that could automatically provide oxygen and filter out the stimulation caused by other alpha pheromones.
He wore a special combat training suit that could block the pheromones on Jiang Ci's body. Finally, he added a large black cloak on the outside, which could easily disguise himself in the night.
At the same time, in order to conceal his gender identity, he carried Huo Xianfeng's pheromones, so that everyone would think he was an alpha.
I’m afraid even He Zhun wouldn’t be able to recognize her dressed like this.
"Aci, we have to hurry."
"… good."
Jiang Ci turned her head and looked at Nora who was following her, and helped the girl straighten her crooked hood. Huo Xianfeng finally kept her with Jiang Ci as a protection.
At this time, Bai Ze called up the positioning coordinates given by Huo Xianfeng. Their purpose was to recharge, and they could find an energy reactor to recharge. If that didn't work, they could do the next best thing and dismantle a few mechas and steal the power energy oil.
However, for a double S-level combat mecha like Bai Ze, the quality and reserves of energy are very high, so the best way is to find a special energy reactor for charging.
Fortunately, at this moment, almost all the city's security forces were attracted by Huo Xianfeng, and Jiang Ci walked smoothly along the way. But even so, he still felt very difficult. Because at this sensitive time, even if the wind blew gently, he felt very uncomfortable, and numbness and soreness crawled through his body from the nerve center, and he could only try his best to suppress it.
"Turn left!"
"… Um."
Although Bai Ze's hacking ability is not as good as Xiao X's, he can still block some surveillance in the outer city for a short period of time. In addition, the energy reactor for charging mechas is not a very confidential place, so it is not too difficult to unlock the password.
Things were progressing incredibly smoothly.
drop-
The door opens.
Jiang Ci crouched down and turned in quickly. Nora followed closely behind.
The next second, the door slammed shut and locked automatically.
At this time, Jiang Ci inside looked up and saw a huge energy reactor, which was even larger than the one next to the Forbidden Abyss wreckage of Tiandong Star.
Everything around was very quiet, so quiet that Jiang Ci felt something was wrong.
After all, even if the guards were led away by Huo Xianfeng, it would be impossible for no one to be left here.
"Shh—"
Nora turned her head sharply, as if she had discovered something dangerous, and a low growl like a cat came out of her throat.
The next second, a blazing ball of lightning came towards him—
Next to her was Huahua, whom Wang ordered to protect, so Nora did not hide but faced her head on.
"Nora!"
When the enemy and attack are unclear, the best way is to dodge, but before Jiang Ci could grab her, Nora had already rushed out.
boom!
The Zerg-like right arm instantly cut off the ball of light, but what was unexpected was that countless cable light strips suddenly sprang out from it, tightly entangled the girl, and then knocked her away.
boom!!!
Smash into the wall.
The next second, a cold wind blew from behind. Jiang Ci turned around suddenly, and a dazzling white light burst out from the palm of his hand.
boom!!!
At the critical moment, Bai Ze could only transform into a simpler saber form in time to barely withstand the sudden attack.
Jiang Ci looked closely and found that it was actually a huge sickle. The sharp tip was just a few centimeters in front of his pupil. If it was a little worse, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Ah, you reacted really quickly~"
A soft and pleasant female voice came from the front, and Jiang Ci saw the other person's face clearly. Light pink curly hair, a white robe similar to the cheongsam style of the Illusion God Cult, and golden patterns on the snow-covered ground...
The point is, the gold pattern is the same as that of Leinster.
boom!
Jiang Ci swung his knife fiercely, forcing the opponent to retreat. His crimson pupils slightly dilated, filled with a solemn look.
This woman...
—It turned out to be the archbishop.
With a delicate and beautiful face and a petite figure, she looks like an omega, but why can't he detect the omega pheromones on her
No, no, no, that's not the point.
The key point is why the other party would ambush here
And how should he escape from here after charging Bai Ze.
Countless questions flashed through Jiang Ci's mind like lightning, but Cecilia did not give him much time to think. She was simply forced back for a moment, and the next second she attacked with even greater speed and frenzy.
"Such a strong alpha pheromone... It's not..."
Isn’t it Xiao Aci
Cecilia frowned, revealing a look of disgust and murderous intent.
“How annoying!”
clang-
After a loud bang, hot sparks burst out. Jiang Ci groaned, and the huge force made his hands tremble slightly. He wanted to distance himself and retreat immediately, but the next moment, the scythe of the god of death was already close to his eyes.
boom!
In a split second between life and death, Jiang Ci retreated violently and barely avoided it, but the tip of the scythe hooked his mask and tore it off. But at this time, Jiang Ci had no time to care.
He swung his sword back, intending to force the opponent to retreat, but he didn't expect that this blow would pierce Cecilia's left shoulder.
Puff—
Blood flowers bloomed.
how come
Jiang Ci opened his eyes wide in surprise. After all, based on the estimated strength from the previous fight, it was impossible for the opponent to make such a low-level mistake.
But at this moment of surprise, a huge force hit me.
boom!
Jiang Ci was pushed to the ground by Cecilia, and her pretty face came close to his eyes. There was no expression of pain from the wound, but joy, almost fanatical joy.
The woman touched his face with trembling fingers and shouted,
"Your Highness, Your Highness..."
"Mercy..."
