From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 221 Agent - Agent Naval Intelligence "Activate Molecular Locator" (-in-)

bang
Since the third floor is close to the top of the mall, people who were shopping, shopping and enjoying a happy vacation could clearly hear and feel the sound and vibration of the explosion.

Boom. Boom.!

Chris and others detonated multiple plastic bombs in succession, causing violent noises from the explosions to be continuously heard by everyone.

! !
Only at this moment did people fully realize that the shopping mall was suffering from a "terrorist attack"!
"Run! Run!"

Ada screamed in panic, her face and expression did not look like she was acting at all, and she dragged Leon and ran in the direction of Halsey.

"My God!"

"Are the rebels so bold? Are they starting to invade the city?"

"I don't know! Anyway, I don't want to die in the hands of the UNSC and the rebels."

The tourists instantly panicked, but the local residents were relatively calm, as if they were used to "terrorist attacks".

Next, the five-member ONI special agent team was so stunned that they couldn't even see Leon's appearance clearly, and were easily dismantled by Leon alone.

"Ah!!" Then came the painful howl of the ONI agent.

"There is an enemy situation!"

If someone is really blocking the way, these "passers-by" will use brute force to push them away, and even worse, they will use elbows and kicks to forcefully clear the obstruction.

However, just when they were about to take out their firearms and prepare to completely disperse the people who were delaying their business, Leon quickly rushed towards the nearest ONI agent.

Local residents next to the escalator rushed directly to the first floor, and then prepared to go to the public shelter underground.

thump!
The first ONI agent fainted and fell to the ground, unconscious.

In addition, Leon also used elbows, kicks and other methods intentionally or unintentionally. While ensuring efficiency, he violently broke the ONI agent's arms and calves.

Immediately afterwards, she was caught in the middle of the surging crowd and moved in the opposite direction involuntarily.

!!!

"do not want!"

On the other hand, Ada, who had come behind Halsey, motioned to Leon next to her with her eyes.

These "passers-by" are elite agents affiliated with ONI who are responsible for secretly monitoring and protecting Halsey.

At the same time, ONI agents immediately realized that the real target behind the series of incidents was Halsey!

By this time, "passers-by" with serious faces and agile steps and agility began to appear in the crowd, trying to get close to the seemingly helpless Halsey.

ONI agents will not take the initiative to reveal their identity unless it is absolutely necessary, and now, it is the time of "last resort".

at this time--

But this does not affect everyone's escape behavior.

I saw Leon using the blind spot of his perspective to twist off the left forearm of the ONI agent with a stabbing step, and then pinched the hand knife with good control, instantly causing him to lose his ability to fight and move.

"Click!" The crisp and heart-wrenching sound of fractures came out.

? ?
Halsey, who was the first to bear the brunt, was stunned.

Leon also understood, nodded calmly, and gradually distanced himself from Ada and Halsey.

After taking advantage of the chaos to resolve all hidden dangers, Leon merged into the crowd and chased Ada and Halsey, who had already walked away.
-
Outside the mall at this moment;

Because the attack just now was obviously some type of sound wave or pulse attack, which directly cut off the power and communication in the vicinity.

The passengers, however, seemed very anxious and didn't know how to go. So they followed Ada, who was the first to shout, and ran towards the escalator on the opposite side.

The sun was still shining brightly, but the streets were empty.

"."

Om-!
Accompanied by a ringing in the ears, the lights that illuminated the interior of the mall suddenly went out.

Bang!Bang!
Then, the light bulb exploded and broken glass fell from above.

!! ?
The faces of the ONI agents became more solemn.

This time, people who were already scared were even more panicked.

"where?"

Although both sides were elite combatants of the nature of agents and spies, and ONI still had the numerical advantage, Lyon's physical fitness and combat experience were several times higher than those of the ONI agents on the scene.

"what!!"

The compartment door opens.

Soon, three black-painted anti-riot vehicles arrived in front of the main entrance of the mall.

Bang-!
However, the unique large-caliber gunfire of the anti-machine sniper rifle completely disrupted the action plan of the special police officers.

A group of heavily armed special police officers poured out of the carriage, walking heavily and keeping their distance, preparing to enter the mall in small groups.

Unless the difference in numbers is too large, Atlas Investigators have an absolute winning rate in one-on-three or one-on-five situations.

As soon as the patrol police noticed the explosion, they began to evacuate passers-by and set up isolation belts to blockade the area to prevent residents or tourists who did not know the situation from entering the scene by mistake.

"Here I am!!"

"Sniper! Dodge! Dodge!"

After the captain issued the order, a group of special police officers retreated to the left side of the explosion-proof vehicle, and then quickly entered the alley opposite the shopping mall to avoid being blasted to pieces by anti-machine sniper rifles.

Bang——! Bang——!
During this period, the snipers lurking in the unknown area had no intention of stopping and directly "forced scrapping" the three anti-riot vehicles and the surrounding police vehicles.

?

Such an action immediately aroused the suspicion of the SWAT captain.

Is it the sniper's poor accuracy?
Or did the sniper have no intention of hurting or killing anyone from beginning to end?

This doesn't look like the rebels' style.
But the captain did not dare to risk his own life and that of his men to test the sniper's true thoughts.

Moreover, because their group of special police officers rushed to the scene after receiving the situation, the communication equipment was still intact.

After observing for a moment, the SWAT captain reported via the helmet comms: "Headquarters, we are being suppressed by snipers from unknown forces. We are requesting air support from the UNSC."

"This is the main station, roger, coming soon. Captain Hendry, this is Lucas R. Junior of the Office of Naval Intelligence.

Please ignore the opponent's snipers, lead your men directly into the mall, and help us rescue a female civilian named Catherine Halsey. This is an image of her face. "

Hearing that their contact with the police station was cut off and intervened by ONI, and seeing Halsey's ID photo displayed on the helmet screen, the SWAT captain suddenly became furious and replied:

"Why does ONI order our Alexandria Police Station? Also! The opponent's snipers are using anti-machine weapons. Come here and try it yourself!"

"Please carry out the order and don't ask me to repeat it to you, captain. Think about your family and next month's salary."

However, the person in charge of ONI had a tough attitude and even threatened his family and work.

"Understood." The SWAT captain replied through gritted teeth, and then said to all the SWAT police on the team communication:
"The sons of bitches from ONI asked us to force their way in. Fortunately, they didn't seem to have the intention of hurting or killing anyone. We can only rely on gambling. Everyone be prepared."

"This is it, Captain."

All the special police officers were extremely guilty. After all, no one wanted to confront the snipers who had set up their positions. Moreover, they did not have the conditions and authority to call for artillery strikes, so they could only carry out the orders.

"Da! Da Da!!" But just as this group of special police officers wanted to show their faces, they were faced with a hail of bullets composed of 6.2x35mm, 5.7x28mm (AMWS/Modular Weapon System) calibers, completely suppressing them at the entrance of the alley, unable to move at all. No.

Bang~!

A ricochet hit the SWAT captain in the left knee.

Even though he was wearing titanium alloy knee pads, the strong force still caused the captain to stumble and fall to the ground.

Then, the captain endured the pain and shouted loudly: "People are injured! People are injured! Retreat quickly, there are too many enemies and we cannot continue to execute the order!"

"Yes!"

After receiving clear instructions, all the special police officers quickly dragged the fallen captain back into the alley.

Moreover, the answers from the special police officers this time were more positive than before.

This is not because they are timid, but because the orders given by ONI are indeed unreasonable.

The opponent is hiding in the dark, with unknown numbers and unknown equipment. What is known is that the opponent has military-grade weapons.

The events before them were beyond what they could handle, so they could only wait for more professional marines or special units to take charge.
-
at the same time.

Located in the center of New Alexandria, the landmark building "Olympic Tower" is the headquarters of the UNSC Naval Intelligence Agency.

In the mid-level office area of ​​the Olympic Tower, in an office facing north;

"Damn, what a bunch of guys who don't succeed enough and fail too much!"

The ONI official wearing a dark gray uniform picked up the ashtray placed on the table and threw it out.

Snapped!
The ashtray shattered and ashes flew everywhere.

"Anger will not help the current situation. Please calm down, Colonel Junior."

The intelligent AI that presented itself in front of the desk looked at the debris at its feet and reminded the ONI official in a cold voice.

Moreover, this intelligent AI exudes a light yellow luster, has a slender figure, and is "wearing" medieval-style clothing.

"Stablize?!"

The ONI official named Lucas R. Junior turned to look at the other party and asked:

"Melissa, how did the rebels know about Halsey's existence?! Without her, how could we launch the Orion II plan? And why didn't you give an early warning?!"

"The enemy possesses advanced optical camouflage."

The smart AI, called Melissa by ONI officials, waved her hand to bring up the holographic screen and played the video image analyzed based on the bullet impact point and the source of the gunshot.

The video shows a group of looming armed men on the top floor of the building surrounding the shopping mall, suppressing special police officers on the streets from multiple angles.

If Melissa hadn't specially drawn the outlines of the characters, in Junior's eyes, the suppressed SWAT officers were fighting wits with the "air".

See this scene
Junior instantly understood that the enemy they were facing was no ordinary rebel.

It is not that the UNSC does not have individual-level optical camouflage technology, but it is only used by the UNSC's special forces or their ONI black team, and the cost is extremely high.

"Colonel Junior, the other party is organized and disciplined, and its technology and strength are no less than our elite." Melissa continued to explain:

"In addition, one thing I can assure you is that all members involved in the Orion Phase II project are closely monitored by me, and no one has disclosed any information to the outside world.

The other party seemed to understand out of thin air that we would surround Dr. Halsey on Reach and cultivate next-generation super soldiers. "

Speaking of this, Melissa's face looked slightly strange.

It seems that even the smart AI cannot analyze the so-called "enemy", that is, how Atlas knows the secrets that are classified.

More importantly, although Halsey is a well-known civilian scientist, ONI's confidentiality work is very complete, and there is no way for the outside world to know about Halsey's plan to cooperate in depth with them.

But Atlas hit the snake seven inches, accurately capturing the top priority of everything.

"Knowing it out of thin air? How is it possible?"

Junior immediately denied this conjecture. After all, it was too "magical" and said:

"Notify the Governor of Reach and ask them to cooperate with us in sealing off all civilian ports, and then notify the Operations Office and the UNSC to launch a carpet search of cities, towns and remote villages.

In addition, we also need the naval fleet to pay close attention to all jump voyages that occur within Tianyuan 4, and to find Halsey at all costs.

Without her, we humans would fall into never-ending internal strife. "

"Yes, Colonel." Melissa nodded in agreement.

At this moment, ONI's top management actually attaches great importance to the Orion II (Spartan) project and has intentionally allocated a large amount of operational funds.

You know, although the rebellion in various colonies is getting more intense, they are still legally part of the UEG government. If the fleet is directly launched into the orbit of the colonies, it will add fuel to the fire.

Ever since the UNSC dispatched the first phase of Orion products to successfully kill the rebel leader Gerald March Ander in 2502, ordinary beheading operations have been difficult to achieve again.

Therefore, the military urgently needs fast, stealthy, and powerful super soldiers who can fight one against a hundred to secretly suppress all "voices" that oppose the UNSC and UEG.

Halsey being kidnapped by unknown forces is a loss that ONI cannot bear.

In the city sewage system with an unspeakable smell;

Tread, step.

The sound of footsteps made during normal walking is particularly loud.

"Hey, you're not from the rebels, are you?"

At the same time, Halsey's fearless inquiry was still circulating here.

I saw Leon in front, Ada in the back, and Halsey, who had a plastic band on his wrist, was between the two, heading out of the city along the passage on the right.

"."

Halsey, who was "loved" by ONI, received only silence in response.

Leon and Ada ignored Halsey's doubts throughout the whole process.

Soon, the three of them walked out of the dilapidated sewage outlet and came to the dense forest in the northern suburbs outside the city.

Continuing to move forward for a while, the three of them boarded the Herring Gull II troop transport aircraft deployed here in advance, turned on the stealth mode and flew to the desert 700 kilometers away.

Soon after, Herring Gull II carried them back to their operating base deep in the desert and among the canyons.

And as soon as they left the cabin, Leon and Ada escorted Halsey to the second underground floor of the base and into a relatively open hall.

"here it is?"

Looking at Leon and Ada who retreated and stayed in the middle of the hall, Halsey couldn't help but frown.

At this time, a female voice broadcasting without any personal emotion could be heard in the hall:
"Start Molecular Locator
Everyone, please be prepared.
The galaxy and planet coordinates are locked, the distance measurement is correct, and the Ark teleportation is ready.

Countdown to ten,

Nine."

As the broadcast began to count down, a "water balloon" gradually began to condense in the center of the hall.

Halsey:? ? ?
