Chapter 234: The Fifth Day of Civil Unrest (Part )

"Its specific dangers can be seen in this photo."

This time, the terrifying coffin had disappeared; the scene also changed from the beach to a corner of the city - although it was late at night, one could still tell from the low and dense lights around that this was Manila.

In the center of the picture is a monster that is no longer human: the face is still human, but the hands and wrists are replaced by long, sharp blades, and there are two pairs of appendages on the side ribs, but they are complete with ten fingers; the pale shell covers the lower body from the back of the neck to the tail vertebrae, and is connected to the lower body with five thick hind limbs.

"This picture shows entity B as a derivative... From B-1 to B-9, entity B currently contains nine."

"Based on previous contact and observation, entities B-1 to B-9 are all produced by entity A-2. They are highly aggressive and territorial. The physiological structure of entity B cannot be determined yet, but their lethality, mobility and danger are extremely high."

Another switch sound: this time, the screen was left with only pure black background.

"And then there were some... other situations."

"At 1:15 pm yesterday, the target landed in Sanguliguato, south of Manila, and remained dormant."

Employee A spoke in a completely different and ambiguous tone about the recent strange rumors circulating in Luzon:

"But before the target landed on the south coast of Manila - several months ago, Manila had witnessed the sightings of Entity A-II and Entity B; and the target code we determined also came from this. Therefore, the possibility that the target entity has the ability to replicate itself has not been ruled out."

Employee A turned around again and used the crank to fold up the projection screen; it seemed that he wanted to give the audience some time to digest everything that had just happened.

He put his hands behind his back and walked slowly:

"In addition to entities A and B, the target also has a whole team of scattered guards. They are also the executors of transporting the target 'Nine Ghost Mothers' to Manila. There are five members in total. They will be referred to by code names below."

"The golden man, alias 'Fang Bailu', his real identity is unknown. When he passed through the Manila customs, he used the Dao disc of the Microcomputer Taoism Research Institute, but his identity information did not exist in the list of nobles provided by the research institute. It is speculated that he is a wild Qigong practitioner who appeared after the collapse of Kuala Lumpur. He is very dangerous."

"Shuang Dao, real name 'Er Ni', confirmed to be a professional mercenary. He worked as a courier for the Beta Express in New Malaysia, and later engaged in mercenary activities in Kuala Lumpur; highly dangerous."

"Yellow Dog, real name unknown, confirmed to be a descending spirit. It is still unknown what kind of prosthetic parts it is carrying and what kind of spirit it is. More actual combat intelligence is needed to confirm. It is dangerous."

"The thin guy, real name is 'Park Wenzhi', confirmed to be a hacker. Friends of the Java Group hope to deal with him personally; he is dangerous."

"Female nun, real name unknown, former Microcomputer Taoism Research Institute's registered Qigong practitioner 'Outer Sect Taoist'. After comparing with the list provided by the research institute, this Qigong practitioner has lost her Dao Fruit and is of low danger."

"above."

"The security team's confidentiality level is not high, so after leaving here, Taihai Chain will transmit a specific record of them to you."

"That's all the information we have at this time."

Employee A raised his fist and knocked on the podium.

There was no whispering or chattering among the crowd - but from that moment on, secret exchanges of information filled the rough, low-ceilinged conference room.

Employee A just watched it all with a blank expression: until he judged that the communication was sufficient.

"You should all have taken over the temporary command of your respective organizations' Luzon branches. Taihai Chain will also provide support as appropriate in terms of resources. Any questions?"

……

"Still the same old rules?"

The one who raised his hand to ask was the representative of Merlion Holdings.

As per the old rules, the host is responsible for the overall coordination and command of the entire operation - Lion City has always been on good terms with Luzon, so it is not surprising that it would lend its support at this time.

Before employee A could answer, Java Group was the first to speak. The haggard manager rolled his eyes, exposing the entire white of his eye, and murmured softly from his throat:

"The beast... cannot be controlled. The beast... will hunt on its own."

Employee A was not angry about the challenge to his authority, but thought to himself:

"Based on the target's intelligence, it is unlikely that this operation will develop into a large-scale fight; so there is not much need to forcibly gather the power of the Java Group."

He nodded slowly to show his approval of the Java Group's proposal - and his own control over this operation:

"Yes, but the Java Group will provide support if we need to conduct a magical war."

Then, without asking other organizations about their intentions, Employee A gave the order directly:

"At that time, the Taihai Chain will first eliminate the organic matter in the hunting area to prevent the Entity Armor from replenishing energy through eating."

"After that, the hunt officially began. The code name of the operation was: 'Exorcism'."

"The 'Noble Response and Processing Department' will conduct the first wave of direct contact. The actors of the Grand Opera Troupe will be responsible for feinting and driving away the target. Colleagues from Lion City and Daoguo Axis will prepare capture measures at the encirclement point. Princess, please assist us as we set up the magic array. Wanshou Henghe's friends will serve as reserve forces and isolate the target's guards when they appear to prevent interference with the capture."

"At the same time, all online attacks will be fought by the Java Group."

Employee A - At the beginning of his career, the most work he did was to engage in firefights with forces around Luzon; later, he fought against enemies further away: he knew the strengths of these participants well enough to assign them to positions that suited their characteristics.

"Any objections?"

Compared with the information briefing of the task, Employee A's specific execution plan is much simpler: the simpler the plan, the less likely it is to go wrong. In addition, everyone present has been tested on the front line for a long time, and even the newcomers from "Wanshou Ganges" have just been through the flames of war; letting them take charge of the details of the action independently is undoubtedly a better choice.

There was only silence in the meeting room, which expressed agreement - this silence was exactly what Employee A was familiar with.

He looked around and knocked on the podium with his fist:

"Finally, I would like to reiterate one point."

"There is no bid this time, but there is no monopoly either. After the target is captured, it will be jointly tested and analyzed; at that time, everyone here can take away a copy of the analysis report."

He lightly said the most absurd lie: the most important thing is the target's first experimental right - everyone present knew this.

But we still need to save face. Sometimes, even a thin layer of skin is enough to support cooperation and development... and also give some face for future meetings.

The fourth princess placed her hands on her folded knees, and the pattern on her forehead changed as the pigment flowed. It was a long-lasting pattern painted with alchemy elixir - this pattern gave her the authority to use the royal alchemy module and weapons.

She first withdrew from contention:

"The Royal Alchemy Laboratory has made an assessment: the Alchemy Well is in a closed state and cannot contribute to the analysis target. I'm sorry."

Employee A bowed slightly in recognition. However, he did not think that the British Alchemy Empire's apparent concession was out of friendliness:

The Fairy of the Lake had probably been thrown into Manchester's alchemy well and was being digested by the true fire - they had not yet completely digested the spoils of the Mishima Alchemy Rebellion.

Furthermore, as the participating camp farthest from Manila, it was impossible for the "Nine Sons Ghost Mother" to be transported to Britain for analysis and experiments.

but……

is this real?

Even though its tentacles are farthest from Manila, the power of the British Alchemy Empire cannot be underestimated.

……

With the British Alchemy Empire as an example, representatives from other camps attending the meeting also generously expressed—

They are not in a hurry to have the first taste of the soup. According to them: teamwork is the most important thing.

Of course, everyone knew what would happen after the capture was made—but no one wanted to say it.

……

Employee A looked at the figures in the meeting room, some standing out from the crowd, some hiding in the crowd:

This sinister force is enough to subvert a country - no one knows this better than him, who has experienced many meetings.

The Taihai Chain, located in Luzon, is fighting at home: the possibility of failure still exists, but it does not need to be considered first.

Employee A placed his right palm against the seam of his pants and tapped it gently with his fingers - the ancestor was a new member of the board of directors, and he had paid a huge price to allow the other kings to stand aside and watch. There was no room for failure in this operation.

Thinking of this, he made another decision. In addition to the Wanshou Henghe River that his ancestors had built up with his own hands, he also needed other reserve teams.

The enemy is not just the target entity...it is also those forces that are unwilling to attend the meeting or even have not appeared; even today's close allies may turn into killers who cut off their own heads due to greed and the orders behind them.

After a moment's silence, Employee A exhaled and spoke:

"Happy hunting, and good luck to you all. Good Hunting!"

Employee A applauded alone and walked down from the podium. Just like when he walked into the conference room, he did not look around and strode out of the air-raid shelter - I wonder how many of his temporary "allies" will be able to meet in the future?

The meeting ended and the hunt began.

Chapter 235: Underwater Swimming (Part )

Anbenola felt that this moment was the end of her life.

Her whole body, which had been tense and ready for a life-threatening escape, suddenly relaxed: from the moment the "President" appeared, she knew that she could not outrun the sharp blade that could "slash both mind and body".

She sat cross-legged calmly, ignoring the man's threats - even if Anbennola wanted to destroy the copy, she would not hand it over to the enemy.

Twenty-three years of life was long enough, but also so short: she had not yet fulfilled her wish, and she did not even know if it was her wish...

However, the bitter wine brewed from frustration and regret is a taste that every human being will have to taste. Anbenola does not think that he will be an exception.

"You're giving up just like that? Retreating to advance? You can't escape your fate by retreating to advance, right? Forget it, forget it. Even if you want to surrender, I won't let you go..."

The man made of holographic light was somewhat disappointed and disdainful. He kept flashing and using the characteristics of holographic imaging to appear in front of and behind Anbennola, as if trying to provoke her to resist.

Anbenola did not respond to his meaning: she did not want to waste the last moments of her life on such a conversation.

The "orchid" let out a trembling whine and twisted to fly in front of her face: in front of the military-grade flying sword that was about to burst out, it returned to its original meaning of existence - a toy for children to play with.

But toys are often the ones that carry the most abundant and rich emotions. Anbenola raised her hand and brushed across the blade of the "Orchid Grass" that was shining with five colors: the owner of this flying sword was not her, but someone she would never meet again.

She waved her hand lightly—the flying sword burst into a brilliant light and flew behind her, in the opposite direction of the enemy: there was no need to bury it here as well.

After a person dies, does his soul still exist? Will he feel sad and shed tears because of my departure?

"I hope not."

She raised her left hand, bent her index finger, and clenched the Dao Jue with one hand. Although she had lost the Dao Fruit, Anbennola still had the strength to fight for the last time - even if the price of using it was her own life.

Ambenola said quietly, in a voice that only she could hear:

"Goodbye. Goodbye..."

……

Boom, boom, boom.

A heavy crashing sound came from far away - and it was getting closer.

Boom, boom, boom!

Anbennola suddenly stopped making hand gestures and cast an incredulous look towards the source of the loud noise - and the man's holographic head also turned in the direction of her gaze.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Then they saw it - saw Fang Bailu running towards them.

This was the first time he used his prosthetic body to truly run at full speed: the mobile phone that was constantly turning in his chest kept generating strength, and drove this energy to every part of his body.

Every step he took was as loud as thunder - as if the earth had appeared just for him, an endless war drum sewn out of concrete and steel.

The distance between each step was still expanding: Fang Bailu adjusted his pace and center of gravity like a triple jump.

boom!

He bent his knees suddenly, then straightened them—the muscle bundles composed of hydraulic structures released unprecedented explosive power; the elastic material that replaced the original soft tissue was even damaged by friction due to the overload:

Fang Bailu leaped up, and the place where he touched the ground was full of spider-web-like cracks. He rushed straight towards the huge blue and red capsule in the air that was releasing surging pressure.

"Do not--"

Anbenola stood up suddenly, trying to stop this suicidal behavior.

but……

Click!

With a crisp sound of connection and separation, the half of Fang Bailu's body above the xiphoid process of his ribs separated from the rest of his torso; flames and gas spewed out from under his shoulders, drawing a straight line and leaping past Anbennola: he stretched out his hand, went around Anbennola's armpit, hugged her and flew towards the edge of the city together -

"Caught up."

His lower body was still drawing a complete fan-shaped arc, like a huge boulder thrown out by a catapult - and a faint bright yellow light was flickering in the lower abdomen of his body.

"Hold on tight, and be careful with your eyes."

Fang Bailu stretched out his palm and covered Anbennola's face.

The light grew brighter and brighter, until it was painful to look at with the naked eye.

Then, there was an explosion.

The backup Dantian furnace in Fang Bailu's prosthetic body served as the charge - originally, when the "Perpetual Sword Heart" overheated, it would take over the energy supply. The Dantian furnace overheated and exploded due to the excessive power; and eventually caused the explosion of other energy storage modules in the prosthetic body -
