Chapter 242 Wild Road (Subscribe)
In the evening, Dead Eye Horn and sniper 'Death Sentence' Jiang Dong rushed back to their temporary base in the lower area with the results of their observations near Mingde University.

As soon as Horn walked into the base, he couldn't wait to tear off the bionic mask on his face.

His disguise skills are extremely advanced, and combined with his unique skills, even those holographic cameras equipped with various high-tech technologies cannot tell whether he is in disguise.

However, this bionic mask is indeed very uncomfortable to wear on the face. In order to resist camera scanning, it is actually very non-breathable.

"Where's Katyusha?" Dead Eye Horn glanced into the room. "Still in deep dive?"

The deep dive state is a term unique to the hacker world. Through some special drugs and nutrition cabins, the hacker's mind can enter a state of undivided concentration, thereby greatly improving computing power.

"She's lurking deep inside. She's trying to hack into Sky Blue's 'Divine' and 'Royal Guard' combat robots, saying she can at least slightly hinder their movements. However, her supercomputer is a 'Wanderer,' and while it can be carried on a vehicle for portability, its computing power is mediocre. It's quite a challenge!"

Mechanic Burrows pulled out his tactical board. "So, what have you learned? Are you confident?"

Death Sentence Jiang Dong said nothing as he walked over to the tactical board and began drawing a diagram. "As shown in the diagram, this is the most suitable sniper position. If Lin Rui's abilities remain unchanged, then as long as he goes on stage to give his speech that day, and Horn can divert the several defense robots near the podium as planned, I have a 70% chance of sniping him. However, the sniper rifle I have isn't fast enough or powerful enough, so I need to add a firearms kit, which will cost approximately million federal coins."

Burrows shrugged when he heard this. The accessories of the other party's sniper rifle required micron-level precision, which was beyond his ability to process by hand.

"Then we need to retreat. There's no passage to the lower world within 800 meters of this sniper location. I need your help to open a passage and deploy some intelligent machines to block the enemy's pursuit."

"no problem!"

Burrows nodded. This was a simple matter for him. It just required two automatic excavators, some bombs placed along the way, and a few small automatic turrets.

"But..." Burrows paused and looked at Dead Eye Horn. "Katyusha is worried that her employer might be planning to silence her. What do you think, Horn?"

"What else can we say? They definitely have this idea. With 6 million in funding, finding two 6S+ people is enough. However, it's more difficult to silence people of this level. That's probably why they want us to continue with the mission."

Horn sneered, his eyes gleaming with disdain. "So this time, we can't trust the Dark Web's guarantees. After the mission is completed, we must sever all previous ties. However, the key is whether we can retreat to the lower levels. Once we get there, no one can do anything to us."

He then glanced back into the room. "Don't worry. When I asked Katyusha to contact the employer, I also asked her to investigate their background. We've already found some clues. We can use them as a countermeasure to get them to pay the balance."

But at this moment, Horn's pupils contracted slightly.

He smelled a burning smell coming from the room.

Horn strode into the room and came to the nutrition cabin inside.

His face instantly turned pale. Horn discovered that the operating panel of the nutrition cabin had been burned out, and the various electronic components inside might also have been damaged.

The key point is that Katyusha in the nutrient chamber was also silent. She closed her eyes tightly and her long hair floated on the nutrient solution inside.

Horn hurriedly forced open the lid of the nutrition cabin and took Katyusha out.

But when his hand touched Katyusha's body, his heart sank. Horn sensed that Katyusha's body had no vitality left.

Her brain was probably burned out by someone in the cyber world.

It is said that some powerful hackers can directly interfere with human brain cells, nerve spinal cord, etc. through brain nerve connectors.

"How is this possible?" Mechanic Burrows was extremely surprised.

The nutrition chamber where Katyusha conducts deep dives has always been under his surveillance, and he will definitely call the police if anything happens in the nutrition chamber.

Burrows looked at the two holographic cameras around him and the several automatic defense weapons placed inside the room, his face turning slightly pale.

He realized that these cameras and the four small fully automatic machine gun turrets had probably been hacked.

"What a great person!"

Burrows was secretly shocked. The defense system he set up was not connected to the outside world. The only thing connected to the network in this temporary base was Katyusa's deep-sea nutrition cabin.

This means that the hacker first hid it from Katyusha, broke in without anyone noticing, took over all the defense systems of the temporary base, and then attacked Katyusha.

Burrows wanted to go to his workshop to check the situation on the server, but Horn pulled him out: "We've been exposed. Let's retreat—"

As Horn spoke, he turned on the walkie-talkie he carried with him. For the sake of confidentiality, they would temporarily turn off the Internet function of their smart terminals when they entered the temporary base.

However, just as he reached the gate of the base, he heard a burst of gunfire outside.

At the same time, they heard the cry of Mecha Master 'Tomahawk' Lü Hong coming from the intercom: "Horn, Broly is dead! It's the Security Bureau! Go ask what's going on! There's an entire company of heavily armored police outside, 20 Type 4 heavy military mechas, and 20 combat robots. The two east exits are blocked. Ask the Third Master what's going on."

Firepower operator Dalon's voice also came over: "Trouble, the situation is similar here. We also have a heavy armored company, and all three exits are blocked. The defense system deployed by Burrows and Katyusha didn't issue any warning. I can't hold on any longer and must retreat. Horn--"

At this moment, there was another burst of fierce gunfire outside. The walkie-talkie hissed, but the voice of firepower operator Dalong was no longer heard.

Horn knew that Dalon was dead, and the blood drained from his face.

While running quickly, he opened the quantum communication system of the smart terminal without hesitation and contacted the third master mentioned by "Tomahawk" Lu Hong.

That was their current protector, a prominent figure in the Zhongyi Gang and one of the most powerful underworld leaders in the lower reaches of the city. He commanded thousands of colonial warriors and possessed a vast arsenal of powerful weaponry, making him a veritable warlord of the underworld. Theoretically, these armed police would have passed through Third Master's territory regardless of their origin, yet today, Third Master hadn't even given them a single warning.

However, when Horn got through to the Third Master, he was met with a barrage of curses on the other end: "Why should I be alarmed? What warning should I give? I just want someone to give me a warning. Damn his ancestors! There's a madman in the Security Bureau, he seems to be a lieutenant general, and he's doing crazy things.

Just now, they first took control of all our holographic cameras and situational sensing equipment on Xinglong Street, and then wiped out all of our brothers in Xinglong Hall! Over 170 of us, all wiped out, understand? Why would I care about you? There was no sign at all."

Horn's heart sank when he heard this.

The so-called Xinglong Street is actually a group of caves. In the early years, the Earth Federation excavated some caves inside the satellite and equipped them with life support systems to form underground streets.

"Third Master" has a branch over there, with more than 200 people, almost all of them are second lieutenant and lieutenant-level colonial warriors.

They controlled this prosperous street, making the 40,000-plus people there dependent on them.

Judging from what the Third Master said, more than half of the 200 people have died.

Horn understood the situation instantly. The Federal Security Bureau not only encircled and suppressed them with great force, but also raided San Ye's Xinglongtang.

For some unknown reason, San Ye's connections within the FSB failed to alert him.

Dead Eye Horn immediately quickened his pace and headed in another direction to the south.

He felt like a huge net was closing in on him, but fortunately, they had prepared an escape route.

It was a secret cave dug by the mechanics. No one knew of the existence of this cave except their team.

At the same time, Lin Rui was wearing a full-coverage exoskeleton armor, humming a children's song "I am Seaweed Seaweed" as he walked out of the "Xinglong Hall" covered in pools of blood.

There was already a suspended riot armored vehicle waiting for him at the door. Xue Lingxue was also standing at the door fully armed, looking at Lin Rui with a strange expression.

Not only him, but also the armed policemen who were participating in the battle around him all looked at their comrade who was likely suffering from colonial syndrome with strange expressions.

They had never seen such a crazy person. It was this guy who broke into Xinglong Hall while singing nursery rhymes and killed nearly 90 colonial warriors inside with a knife.

Unfortunately, Lin Rui was wearing full-face clothing, so they could not see the face of this god-like man.

After Lin Rui stepped onto the armored vehicle, he casually threw aside the Type 5 combat knife issued by the Security Bureau.

"You should dispose of this knife later. It's been cut with too many hard objects just now, and the blade has been damaged. It's no longer usable."

As Lin Rui spoke, he removed the armor on his face.

He asked Xue Lingxue curiously, "Lingxue, why are you looking at me like that? Look at you, it's like you're looking at a madman."

Xue Lingxue thought to herself, I'm not looking at a lunatic. She really suspected that Lin Rui had colonization syndrome.

But she immediately collected her thoughts and said, "Lin Rui, what you are doing is actually against the rules."

"What's wrong with that?"

As Lin Rui spoke, he took out a bottle of soda from the refrigerator and drank it, looking extremely comfortable.

He then asked, puzzled, "Aren't they violently resisting the law? Aren't they armed attacking the police? Over 100 people were shooting at us like crazy. This is simply an attempt at an armed rebellion! We just searched inside and found a large amount of drugs and firearms, over ten tons of new drugs, over 400 illegally modified firearms, and they're also involved in human trafficking. According to the laws of the East Asian Republic, they wouldn't be sentenced to death 100 times over."

Xue Lingxue was speechless, but she knew in her heart that Lin Rui must have used other means.

It was most likely an unknown drug that stimulated these colonial warriors, who all had more or less mental problems, to fall into a manic state and lose their minds.

So the Federal Security Bureau had just surrounded the area, and without a search warrant, these colonial warriors from Xinglongtang started shooting at them crazily, forcing the Security Bureau and armed police to fight back.

However, Xue Lingxue couldn't say that she had secretly taken blood samples from those colonial warriors for testing, and there was no problem.

At least the exoskeleton armor on her body cannot be detected.

Ever since Xue Lingxue was ambushed by Lin Rui last time, she sold her armor and raised some money to buy a set of armor from the Abyss Group. It is said to be a model with particularly strong anti-toxic capabilities, but her armor could not detect what drugs Lin Rui had used.

Since nothing can be detected, there is no problem with this operation. Even if there is a problem, it is because these gangsters used new drugs or for some other reason. In short, it has nothing to do with them.

Although Xue Lingxue felt a little guilty about Lin Rui's unconventional methods in handling cases, she was by no means a fool. She knew that she must never tell anyone about such things.

Xue Lingxue had also participated in the battle just now. She thought that these colonial-style martial artists from Xinglongtang were all scum who deserved to die and it would be better if they all died.

At this time, Lin Rui made another video call to contact Zhang Long.

"General Zhang, how's the situation over there? Have Dead Eye Horn and the others been brought to justice?"

Although Lin Rui attached great importance to the operation to encircle and suppress Horn, he felt that the more than 100 colonial warriors on the side of "Xinglongtang" were more attractive, so he gave the task of encircling and suppressing Dead Eye Horn to Major General Zhang Long.
