Chapter 34 A Surge of Killing Intent
With the appearance of Fang's top agent, the most crucial element of the conspiracy group's entire scheme has been revealed.
The fact that this spy agency from the Giant Enterprise Alliance was able to send a cybernetic warrior who did not belong to the human community into Emerald Planet without anyone knowing already proves that Emerald Planet has a major oversight in its surveillance of these outsiders.
The armored warrior known as Captain Wang slowly walked into the arena and came to Group Leader Fang's side.
His movements resembled those of a somber statue; he neither looked around nor showed any aggressive tendencies, but just by standing there, the surrounding air felt as heavy as the last breath of a dead person.
Team Leader Fang was smug and had every reason to be happy. If the armored warrior was a divine weapon symbolizing power, then the hand wielding the sword must be seen as high and mighty by others.
"We've shown our sincerity, surely you don't still have any reservations?" Team Leader Fang walked step by step toward a figure huddled in a corner of the venue, who was the mystery guest.
Following his footsteps, everyone looked and saw a man in the corner who had been silent all along, wearing a mask and a baseball cap, and clutching a small black suitcase in his hand.
"You can rest assured. Your value goes beyond just access to classified information; you also possess invaluable intellectual expertise. The Megacorporation will need an outstanding scientist. Like other scholars from the Human Community, you will receive top-tier treatment: private territory, a personal security force, a butler and a slave unit, and access to their Science Ethics Review Board. Once you're there, you can research whatever you want."
The mystery guest was clearly interested, and slowly raised the suitcase in his hand, handing it to Team Leader Fang.
Just then, several members of the organization who were watching rushed out and shouted, "Red Water Security Bureau, everyone stay still! I order you to hand over the intelligence items immediately!"
The scene erupted in chaos, everyone looking as horrified as if they'd been splashed with boiling oil.
"Cops! There are cops!"
"Take them down quickly!"
"No, there must be their people outside! We have to escape!"
In despair, some were seized by murderous intent, some wanted to cower in fear, and some immediately fled. No one cared about the children they had brought with them. The figures scurried about in a chaotic frenzy, their heavy footsteps causing the children to stumble and fall.
Team Leader Fang's face was gloomy. He had long heard that intelligence work within the Communist Party was difficult, but he never expected that even with such caution, a mistake would still occur.
Fortunately, he never intended for these troublesome things to survive. His only goal was that confidential chip. The remaining personnel were just disposable rags, so he might as well take this opportunity to get rid of them all.
He turned and winked at the armored warriors behind him.
"Hmph. Leave it to me."
The police officers who were lying in wait were all unarmed, but with their courage and determination, they stepped forward even though they knew their lives were in danger.
In such a chaotic and terrifying environment, Qiao Mingyang's mind went blank. He subconsciously turned his head to look at his "good friend Xiao Lin" beside him, only to see a long, black, cold carbon fiber snake swimming on Lin Zhuo's body. The snake's head was a silver iron ball that was gently swaying in the air.
"Kobayashi, where did you get this?"
Boom!
With a single chime, all was silent.
Those who were fleeing stopped in their tracks.
Those who crawled under the chairs all had their butts sticking out.
The officers who had been gritting their teeth suddenly looked dazed. Team Leader Fang, who was scrambling for the briefcase, had a completely blank expression on his face, which had been grim and menacing.
Even the armored warriors who had already raised their hands couldn't help but freeze in place.
Thump—thump!
The magnificent and dazzling suite began to play.
Many of the gang members present were involved in the arts; before they lost consciousness, they were still muttering, "The Great Banner of Nuwa..."
Thump, thump, one after another, figures lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
In this loud and grand metallic symphony, the fear, impatience, grief, anger, and pain that had filled the air, all the complex emotions, vanished like a light rain falling on the sea.
The only people still standing on the field, besides the expressionless performer, were the armored warrior.
A series of alarms popped up in Wang Xuan's field of vision from the intelligent program of the exosuit. The physiological system detected abnormal neural activity and speculated that it was being interfered with by external forces.
The intelligent program then shut down the helmet's external circulation, completely blocking out external air and sound, and relying solely on electronically synthesized sounds to re-simulate the abnormal neural activity, which thankfully prevented it from worsening.
Even so, Wang Xuan could still feel a faint vibration coming from the surface of his suit, like spring raindrops tapping on the dusty windows of his childhood home on his home planet.
His thoughts drifted slightly between past memories and present reality, his gaze fixed on the performer in the arena.
Even though Lin Zhuo's expression was cold and indifferent, Wang Xuan could still sense from the melody and the sound of the bell how much anger and passion this person was hiding in his heart beneath his skin and flesh.
Once everyone present had collapsed to the ground, the serpent chain hammer in Lin Zhuo's hand obediently coiled around his right arm, the bell on the hammerhead drooping low, no longer making a sound. He then carefully picked up each child and placed them on the chairs to lie down.
Wang Xuan couldn't figure out this person's tactics. He wanted to launch a sneak attack several times, but was deterred by a vague sense of danger and ultimately did not make a move. Instead, he ordered the artificial intelligence to secretly collect data on the other party's behavioral characteristics.
After Lin Zhuo had settled the last child, a hoarse, sand-like synthesized voice came from the facial speaker of the armored warrior.
"Who exactly are you?"
The entire gathering place has been secretly surrounded by a tight net, and the Hongshui City police force is rapidly infiltrating the area to ensure that this conspiracy group is wiped out in one fell swoop.
Lin Zhuo was still gratified by this, at least he was not fighting alone, which proved that the organization had been on guard. However, they probably did not expect that this small conspiracy group could catch such a fierce big fish.
He must act quickly and eliminate any trace of himself as much as possible.
Lin Zhu put away the recorder, wiped away the fingerprints from the action camera, removed the talisman, and hid the evidence next to a child.
He then pasted all five talismans onto his body.
Under Wang Xuan's horrified gaze, Lin Zhuo had already become a blurry, unseen figure.
"Camouflage prosthetics?!"
This armored soldier cannot be allowed to live; he must be completely eliminated.
Lin Zhuo took a step forward, his figure rapidly enlarging in Wang Xuan's vision. The next instant, an arm lashed out from the air, hooking the armored warrior's neck and lifting his entire heavy body into the air.
"What..." Wang Xuan felt as if he had been hit by a high-speed train. Although it didn't hurt, the rapid change in his vision was still terrifying.
A fully mastered "Shrinking Earth and Leaping Technique" not only grants a 6.6x movement speed boost, but also provides a power increase of (80% + 0.6 × [100% proficiency]) to [Destruction] type martial arts skills during its execution.
After breaking through its bottleneck, "Star Ball Throw" adds a new effect: at the start of battle, it can immediately unleash a killing move that does not require charging. With the added bonus of the Lightness Skill, the actual power of Lin Zhuo's thrown chain hammer will reach 6.2 times.
The tall, armored warrior was forcibly dragged by Lin Zhuo into the gate deep inside the shelter, rushing forward to the wall at the end of the corridor.
As Lin Zhuo abruptly stopped, Wang Xuan's entire body flew backward due to inertia, crashing heavily onto an abandoned fire extinguisher box on the wall. With a loud "bang!!", the glass and metal frame were completely dented, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the wall.
Before Wang Xuan could retaliate, he had just raised his head when he saw the long snake coiled around Lin Zhuo's right arm suddenly fly through the air, transforming into a pitch-black vortex. At the center of the vortex hung a gleaming silver iron ball, which was spinning around and emitting a low, excited, thirsty groan.
Lin Zhuo assumed a horse stance and threw a powerful punch.
The fist, as steady and dignified as a wooden stake as thick as an ancient temple, landed firmly on the iron bell, producing a long and resounding roar.
Boom! ...
The X-shaped visor on the armored helmet suddenly contracted like a pupil. Before Wang Xuan could dodge, the hammerhead, which was tearing through the air at high speed, had already struck his chest and abdomen. The heavy kinetic energy made him feel as if his internal organs were balloons being crushed by a boulder, about to burst.
If it weren't for the excellent conductivity of the bio-armor itself, he would probably be dead!
The thin concrete wall behind him absorbed the most kinetic energy, and in the next instant, it suddenly exploded open, creating a huge hole. Wang Xuan's body was bent over, like a giant iron-gray shrimp, and he fell out of the hole with his head tilted back.
"Fuck you, what the hell?!" a hoarse, synthesized electronic voice cursed.
To facilitate infiltration, Wang Xuan is currently almost naked, carrying no powerful weapons. The modules on his armor are also completely removed, with only basic combat support intelligence and a single-soldier shield generator for interstellar jumps.
This equipment was the result of the company's best efforts to secretly smuggle into Emerald Planet.
Just like the security department in Hongshui City never expected that a cybernetic warrior would appear here.
Who could have foreseen that Hongshui City was full of hidden talents, and that such an unreasonable humanoid weapon would suddenly appear?!
