Life Dungeon Game

He wasn't as composed as he had imagined.

His mindset just now was that he had already regarded this mission as a mission where he was bound to die, and he regarded Jiaxi as someone who was bound to die in the operation, which is why he tried to 'persuade' Jiaxi.

There's an old saying in the FBI: "When you lose faith, failure has already begun."

If he rushes out with the same mindset he just had, he will almost certainly die here.

"That's right, Jiaxi is amazing!"

The little girl, with her hands behind her back, peeked out at the pollution cleanup company building.

Skye stared at Garcia's retreating figure.

This little girl is precociously intelligent, far beyond her years.

"Then shall we take action?"

Garcia turned around and looked at Skye.

"Um,"

This time, it was Skye's turn to nod. Then he suddenly remembered something, glanced at Jasmine's chubby little face, and said, "By the way, all communications in the city are cut off now. How are you going to pass the last message to the 'old man'?"

"There is a way."

Jiaxi turned around, touched her little mouth, and walked towards the drone.

West City Gate

boom--

The bullet that pierced the night struck the incoming prosthetic body almost instantly, piercing its chest.

Ishia gripped the Gauss Gun and rolled forward.

Ahead of her, a burly man held a broadsword, his body occasionally glowing with an invisible golden shield that blocked the incoming bullets before charging forward recklessly.

Behind her was a light armored vehicle, still burning with flames, destroyed by an armor-piercing rocket.

Ishia looked up at the burly man in front of her, and without any hesitation, she followed him forward.

They had just taken advantage of the changing of the guards to destroy the armored vehicle with armor-piercing rounds, and then the burly man who could form a shield led the way, with her following behind, advancing quickly.

Their ultimate goal is to be able to control the 'emergency switch' for opening and closing the city gates.

Normally, the opening and closing of city gates are automatically controlled by a control room on the high wall, but emergency switches are an exception.

The switch is located in the doorway, right behind the city gate.

Its function is to switch the city gate from automatic to 'manual', allowing it to be operated directly from the gate opening.

However, authorization is required to operate the switch using a physical key that can only be used by the mayor, and the emergency switch has higher authority than any other switch.

This switch itself is one of the mayor's means of controlling the city's defense forces.

In fact, the distance from the outer edge of the city gate to the emergency switch is not far, only a dozen meters.

However, Kejette's mercenaries did not simply set up a defense in front of the city gate, but instead formed a near-semi-circular arc-shaped defensive perimeter with their backs to the gate.

And it has three layers of defense.

They forcibly stretched the distance that needed to be broken through to tens of meters, and even that was tens of meters under layers of defense.

There will be another update at 7 PM tonight, making it two updates today. I'd appreciate your votes at the end of the month.

Chapter 705 The city gates open, General! (Two chapters, 9,000 words, please vote for me!)

Of the three layers of defense, the rocket only breached the first layer, and the two of them had already crossed it.

The burly man was attacking the second layer of defense.

Normally, a distance of a few meters is almost instantaneous for D-level and C-level superhumans.

However, Ishia and her companion were delayed for quite some time between the first and second layers of defense.

Because the soldiers stationed at the city gate reacted too quickly, they opened fire almost the instant the city gates opened.

Several prosthetic bodies rushed out and aimed at them with miniature laser cannons.

Their previous guesses were correct; there should be more than one D-class superhuman or cybernetic individual among them.

However, they hadn't expected there to be so many. Just counting those they had seen, there were at least five D-level combatants.

Moreover, these mercenaries are equipped with the best firearms and are quite skilled at shooting.

These are the elite, the most elite soldiers in this mercenary group.

The person behind the scenes may not have expected that they had the key to the emergency switch, but he probably had already prepared for someone to storm the city gate and try to seize it.

Therefore, elite guards were specially assigned to guard the gate.

And it's estimated that they were specifically trained in their goalkeeping formation.

Just now, Ishia and the burly man charged forward, killing at least four or five people. The squadron suffered 10% casualties, but their morale was not affected at all. They quickly formed a new formation and tried to surround Ishia and the other man.

"what!!!"

The burly man raised his broadsword and cleaved a mercenary superhuman who was attacking him in two diagonally. "Open up!"

Then, he swung his broadsword upwards, cleaving through the iron barricades in front of him and breaking through the second line of defense.

Ishia followed closely behind.

The third line of defense, however, was not so easy to breach.

It was an alloy fence wall about three meters high, reinforced in multiple ways, and it would take a lot of time to break it open.

At that moment, many mercenaries were hiding behind the fence and shooting at them.

The burly man was now covered in even more blood. His body had been grazed by several miniature electromagnetic cannons from the prosthetics during the battle, leaving gaping wounds that flowed blood.

Ishia's condition was also not good. Although she was agile enough, she was hit in the shoulder and abdomen by bullets in the hail of bullets, and blood stained her fair skin.

"Come!"

The burly man had already taken advantage of the situation and rushed behind the fence.

He glanced at the fence, then held his broadsword horizontally to his side and roared.

Ishia immediately rushed forward, stepped onto her broadsword, and rolled over the fence.

Several soldiers by the wall tried to raise their guns to attack her, but the burly man stabbed them through with his sword.

Then the burly man held his sword horizontally behind him, gazing at the mercenaries behind him.

He could easily have scaled the fence, but once he did, the mercenaries behind him would open the fence and follow.

There were actually only a few mercenaries behind the fence.

Bang—bang—

Ishia fired her gun mid-air, piercing the bodies of two mercenaries who were raising their guns, and then rolled on the ground to dissipate the force.

Just as she rolled, a dagger suddenly appeared from her body.

It pierced through to the side, aiming for her heart.

She immediately twisted her body to dodge the attack, but the dagger still pierced her right chest.

Before she could react, the owner of the dagger abruptly pulled it away and took several steps back.

Ishia stood up and looked around.

Inside the fence, apart from the mercenary corpses lying on the ground, there was nothing else around.

Stealth?

Assassin?

She glanced around again, then looked up and saw the emergency switch of the city gate right in front of her.

She pulled an alloy dagger from the scabbard strapped to her thigh. As the granddaughter of a 'cold weapon forger', she wasn't actually lacking in good weapons; the broadsword that the burly man carried was also given to her by her.

Blood, tinged with a faint orange glow, dripped onto the ground. Ishia took a deep breath and rushed towards the emergency switch.

She couldn't break the assassin's stealth, but this time, she was on the offensive.

Sure enough, when she was only a meter away from the emergency switch, a gaunt figure in a mercenary uniform reappeared behind her and silently stabbed her in the back of the neck.

boom--

In that instant, a dagger deflected the 'assassin's' attack.

Ishia smiled.

The investigative journalist talent sequence isn't just a complete combat failure. Although Ishia can't break through the assassin's ability to alter cognition through stealth, she can simply discard that concept and fight as if she were an invisible person.

Relying on the surrounding wind and a keen sense of the environment, they detected the approach of the 'invisible man'.

Observing details and analyzing them falls within the capabilities of investigative journalists.

Clearly, this assassin was not strong enough and was poor at concealing his movements, thinking that he could be foolproof with his 'stealth' ability.

Upon realizing that his attack had been blocked, the assassin was momentarily stunned, but he immediately reacted and tried to retreat.

boom--

Just then, a gunshot rang out, ending his plan to retreat.

The bullet pierced his heart, sending his body flying backward.

The assassin stared at the gun barrel pressed against the woman's shoulder, at the shoulder pierced by bullets and stained with blood, and slightly opened his mouth.

He had only one thought in his mind...

madman······

Ishia had already noticed the assassin's approach, but she only parried at the very end, waiting until the assassin was close enough that she couldn't dodge the bullet and could be killed with a single shot.

Of course, she had already set up the gun, so the assassins wouldn't dare to approach. Therefore, she pressed the muzzle against her original shoulder, using her own flesh and blood to conceal the shape of the gun.

She knew the power of the Gauss pistol very well; after the bullet pierced her shoulder, it still had enough potential energy to pierce the heart of an assassin with poor defenses.
