Chapter 158: Double Duck Swap

"Yoshino Shinnosuke is just an appetizer... The video will give us what we need to deal with the real main course." After Wang Chen finished speaking, everyone nodded. They also recorded some videos along the way.

As for what these videos are used for? It's simple. They expose Yoshino Shinnosuke's backer, namely Anti-Entropy. They put Anti-Entropy on the table and fabricate some half-true and half-false facts to smear Cocolia's troops.

The purpose of doing this is to anger Cocolia. After all, Wang Chen's next move is to get rid of Cocolia's biggest partner in the Far East, the Minister of Justice, and to save Thunder Ryoma. This move must mean that the time for a real decisive battle with Cocolia has come. At that time, Cocolia will definitely take action personally and vow to catch him and others in one fell swoop.

This is also the reason why Wang Chen has to endure not revealing his full strength until now. He wants to give Cocolia the illusion that she can do it. Once Cocolia gets excited, then the troops of the destiny will be able to control those collapsed furnaces one by one without any hindrance.

"Well, let's go down first... Next is the real tough battle. These enemies are different from the ordinary people we encounter. Not to mention that the weapons they hold are all standard weapons for fighting against the Honkai side. The number of Titans down there alone is enough to give us a headache."

After Wang Chen finished speaking, he led everyone to the elevator door. After Bronya set the parameters, the elevator door opened and everyone entered the elevator. Since the space inside the elevator was small, it seemed a bit crowded after ten people squeezed in.

"Snapped!"

"Who hit Bronya's head! Stupid Kiana, is that you?"

"Ah? What are you talking about? I don't know." Kiana will never wait until tomorrow to take revenge.

"Hmph..." Bronya snorted and made up her mind that after returning, she would teach this stupid Paramecium a good lesson and let her know that not everyone can pat Bronya's head.

……

"Master Xing, there is a response from the direct elevator."

Inside the base below, a member of Anti-Entropy discovered that the elevator passage connecting the base with the outside world had been activated manually, so he immediately reported it to the current person in charge of the base, Xingmar.

"Very good, I am already tired of waiting! I don't want to stay in this damn place anymore! Hehehe, don't let me play with you so easily. Let me vent my anger!"

Returning to the old place, Xingmar felt unhappy with the base after being frustrated in it last time. He also had a hint of fear in his heart.

"Master Xing, Master Bronya hasn't reported back yet. Should we..."

"Why should I report to her? Let her control me? Tsk. Don't even think about it."

"But Lady Cocolia..."

"You dare to use your mother to pressure me? If I can't have fun later, I will make fun of you! Now gather the Titans!"

"Yes... yes!" Not daring to disobey Xingmar's orders anymore, the members of Anti-Entropy immediately began to gather troops.

"What's more... I don't know what happened to Bronya today. She really pissed me off!"

Thinking back to when I met "Bronya" today, Bronya looked at me with a strange smile, especially the gentle look in her eyes that made me feel very uncomfortable. I got goosebumps all over my body.

If it weren't for the fact that in Xing's eyes of judgment, the light of "Bronya's" soul was still the same as before, Xing would have wondered if "Bronya" was an imposter.

Well, it was actually true. Since Bronya wanted to take the initiative this time, Wang Chen initially planned to let Bronya command the Anti-Entropy members through remote control. This would ensure that Bronya could both follow her team and carry out Anti-Entropy deployment.

Unexpectedly, Cocolia was unusually cautious this time, and actually asked Bronya to temporarily give up the task of continuing to monitor Raiden Mei, and asked her to move into the underground base of Me Company to completely eliminate the Phantom Thieves together with An, and also counted Bronya as a combat force and asked her to fight head-on.

In this way, if Bronya wants to act with the Phantom Thieves, someone must replace her in Anti-Entropy to command the Anti-Entropy's operations and prevent hacker attacks.

So, the candidate fell on Brownie, who looked exactly like Bronya. At first, Bronya was planning to give up working with the Phantom Thieves. Even Wang Chen had the same idea.

The reason why Bronya gave up was naturally because she was worried that her "sister" Brownie, with whom she had a good relationship, would get into trouble. As for Wang Chen, it was purely because he knew Xingma's special nature and was worried that the soul light of his ship's Valkyrie [Bronya] would be discovered by Xingma.

Of course, it was Brownie, or [Bronya], who persuaded the two in the end. The reason why he persuaded Bronya was because he imitated Bronya's demeanor (Bronya didn't know the special features of Xingma's eyes yet).

Brownie also said that Bronya had finally made up her mind to help her friends, and as a younger sister, how could she not help her sister realize this wish? So Bronya finally agreed.

And convincing Wang Chen was even easier, just run to the bed and cough cough cough... In short, [Bronya] ensured that the light of her soul was almost the same as that of Bronya in this world, and Xingmaer couldn't tell the difference. Therefore, Wang Chen finally decided to take Bronya with him to participate in this operation.

……

"Xing is still the same as always." At this moment, Brownie, with a purple blueberry-flavored bubble gum in his mouth, looked at the picture taken by his small drone of Xingmal leading the Titan to attack without any notice. He smiled with amusement and then blew a big bubble.

Phantom Thieves Chat Group

Hacking Rabbit: "Everyone, Xingmaer has taken the initiative and will block you at the elevator entrance."

Joker: "Well, our elevator is about to stop at a certain place ahead of time. We will temporarily sneak in through the ventilation duct above the base. If possible, in order to prevent the other party from noticing something is wrong too early, Hacking Rabbit, can you delay the other party?"

Silver Wolf: "It's okay if you don't delay. Don't force yourself. I can get it done quickly."

Hacking Rabbit: "Hmm... I understand roughly. Just leave it to Hacking Rabbit. Don't worry, sister. This is not something you have to force. Don't worry."

Joker: "We are almost there, and everything is going according to plan."

Everyone: "Yes!"

So Brownie exited the group chat, stretched her body, adjusted her facial expression, and restored her calm demeanor. Then, Brownie turned on the communication system in the base and connected with Xing who was already at the elevator waiting for her prey to arrive.

……

On the other side, Xingmaer led the team to the elevator entrance with a swagger, and the Titans took heavy steps in an orderly manner, making a rumbling sound. Xingmaer sat on the anti-entropy mecha in the front, with a hint of enthusiasm and impatience in her eyes. She was ready to torture those enemies.

Chapter 159: Xingmaer is easy to deal with

"Stop!" Finally, they arrived at the area where the elevator entrance was located. Xingmar commanded the Titan army to stop, and then jumped off the head of the Titan, throwing throwing knives or explosives casually in his hands.

"Should I use the knife first? Or should I use the explosives to blow it up first? Hehehehe!!"

Xingmaer threw these terrible tools in her hands as if she was showing off. No one knew how she planned to use these tools to deal with the Phantom Thieves. Xingmaer was seen throwing them while showing her healthy shark-toothed smile. However, the laughter she made was full of madness.

"Beep-beep-"

But just when Xingmaer was in high spirits, the voice of her communicator rang. Xingmaer could not help but frown, as if an impromptu dance was cut short. Xingmaer pressed the device on her wrist, and after it was connected, the face of "Bronya" was projected. The moment she saw "Bronya"'s face, Xingmaer made an unhappy sound.

"Xing, why did you take the troops away without permission?" came the voice of "Bronya".

"What do I do have to do with you?" Xingmar said impatiently.

"Xing, you should know the order given by Mother Cocolia before we set out on this mission. You should listen to my command and obey the arrangements." "Bronya" said in a deep voice.

"Tsk, follow your arrangements? What arrangements? Keep hiding in there? So long has passed, and you haven't been able to catch those guys. I might as well kill them right here and there by surprise! Yes... just use a bomb! As soon as the elevator door opens... BOOM! Hahahahaha." Xing Maer laughed wildly, took out a dozen bombs in his hand, and said with a smile.

"And then? You plan to be transported out of the cargo hold door along with the Titan on the conveyor belt after the mission is completed, right? How are you going to get out if you blow up this elevator?"

"Hmm..." Xingmaer was speechless for a moment. It was obvious that she had not thought about this issue.

"There has to be a limit to fooling around... Xing, you should think carefully about everything you do in the future. Otherwise, you will be taught a lesson sooner or later. No... let's say that the time when you defended the base before was already... wasn't that lesson profound enough, Xing?" The voice of "Bronya" came again, saying.

"I'm so annoyed, so annoyed, so annoyed!! I will get back the debt from that ghost sooner or later! As for what I will do to you, it's none of your business! You don't need to worry about it!" When Xingmaer heard "Bronya" talking about the last time she was humiliated, she jumped up and shouted with bared teeth, just like a puppy whose tail was stepped on.

"Because Xing, you are one of my most important family members, so I don't want and hope that Xing will be hurt because of this." However, at this time, "Bronya" suddenly said something extraordinary in a very serious tone.

"Ha ha!???"

When Xingmaer heard what Bronya said, he was stunned at first, then shocked. He didn't understand what was going on at all, and then he couldn't believe it. He was emotional but stuttered and said, "Bronya...you...what nonsense are you talking about!"

"I said, Xing is my most important family member, sister. I don't want Xing to get hurt." "Bronya" said every word forcefully, and the firmness of her tone fully revealed the other party's firmness and sincerity.

"Ha! Bronya!! What nonsense are you talking about! Are you crazy? Is your brain out of order?" For a moment, Xingmaer looked as if she didn't understand at all. Her face had a slightly shy blush and her eyes glanced completely to the left. She didn't even look at the unquestionable expression of "Bronya" in the video.

"Too stupid... too stupid! Bronya, was it you who was hit by the door when you went out today? No... could it be me... is there something wrong with my brain? Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!" Xingmal began to scratch his head, looking confused, but Xingmal himself might not have noticed that the corners of his mouth had already risen at this moment, and it was a real smile that was more beautiful than his previous laughter.

……

"Huh... Done. I guess Xing will be immersed in her own world for a long time." Looking at the smiling Xingmal scratching her head in the picture, Brownie smiled faintly and murmured softly: "If that day, I can also convey the words like I do now, earlier... Well, it's not too late to say it now, after all, Xing has already heard it."

"Come back soon, 'Xing'...we are all waiting for you."

……

On the other side, the elevator stopped in the middle and did not completely descend to the bottom. [Raiden Mei] swung out her sword, opening the door of the elevator entrance and the wall behind the door, and then a ventilation duct appeared in front of everyone.

"Very good, while Xingmaer is now at the elevator entrance, let's go straight to our target Yoshino Shinnosuke!" Wang Chen said.

Then the group crawled into the ventilation duct together. Only the empty elevator was left. After turning several corners in the duct, they heard a noisy sound. As they continued to crawl, the noise became closer and louder. Finally, the group found the source of the noise.

"This... should be the production workshop for manufacturing Titans." Wang Chen pointed to the room under the ventilation network and said.

"We've used electromagnetic induction. There's no one inside. We can go down directly from here." After using her power, [Raiden Mei] said slowly.

Afterwards, the ventilation net was pried open, and the Phantom Thieves jumped down from above and began to look around. One by one, the incompletely assembled Titan mechas were placed on the pedestal, surrounded by a lot of scaffolding. Looking up, you can also see three cranes hanging with hooks to assist in the lifting operation.

"I have completed a secondary goal as soon as I came in. Let's record this well, the process of making the Titan." Wang Chen said.

"Are you planning to crack the Titan manufacturing technology after you return?" Theresa asked curiously.

"How is that possible? If we can figure out how the Titan was made just by looking at its appearance, and if we know the core technology, Tesla and Ain, the designers of the Anti-Entropy Titan, would just find a piece of tofu and kill themselves. I took these photos just as I planned before, recording the secrets buried under the Me Company one by one. And finally exposing them to anger Cocolia."

Wang Chen continued to film and record while explaining. But suddenly, Wang Chen felt something was wrong. For some reason, he seemed to have started to think of the structure of Titan in his mind...? ?

Wang Chen was suddenly shocked. When did his brain become so smart? Oh no, he was not really going to let Aiyin and Tesla clash with each other.

Fortunately, after a long time of construction, I still couldn't figure out what it was, but I did have a general framework. After asking the system, according to the system's prompts, it seemed to be derived from my captain's basic qualities (C).

Wang Chen didn't care about it. At this stage, the only target was still Yoshino Shinnosuke. They opened the map of the underground base of Me Company in Bronya's hand, confirmed the area where they were, and then walked quickly towards the exit of the workshop while recording the video, sticking to the obstacles.

Along the way, he photographed many Titan models, such as the most standard purple Titan, the old ancient mecha Titan, the magnetic storm mecha, the thunder mecha, etc. Wang Chen even saw a mass-produced Godfather mecha being assembled, which is the most powerful mass-produced Titan currently produced by Anti-Entropy. Thinking back to when the Memory Battlefield was first released, the pain of being ravaged by the Godfather Legion seemed to be just yesterday.

Chapter 160: Infiltration

However, after seeing the mass-produced Godfather-level Titan appear, Wang Chen kept a wary eye. The Godfather-type Titan is different from the ordinary Titan before, and it is already the top of the current Titan series. Among them, Tesla's exclusive Godfather-type Titan is the best among the Titans.

Thinking back to the time when I was in the game, I faced a group of Titan legions, all of which were mass-produced Godfather-type Titans, and I was almost beaten through by this legion.

Tesla's Godfather Titan shouldn't appear here, but even if it is a mass-produced Godfather Titan, it's not easy to mess with, especially since they are still hiding their strength. It might be a bit troublesome to escape from it.

However, Wang Chen has already prepared a trump card for the Titan army, which he will use when necessary to deal a heavy blow to the Titan legions that want to encircle him and others.

"Just like before, we will be divided into two teams. The frontal assault team will advance along the main route together. Try our best to find the location of Yoshino Shinnosuke. And our support teams will all be dispersed. One is to search for Yoshino Shinnosuke's whereabouts more carefully, and the other is to assist the assault team. If necessary, they will attract the enemy's attention and get rid of the enemy." After arriving at the exit of the workshop, Wang Chen said slowly.

"Okay!" First, Kiana and others attacked head-on. Xiaodu took the lead and left the workshop, while Wang Chen and others followed behind. After entering the new place, they spread out and spread to various areas.

This area is basically an assembly line area. Basically, all the parts needed for Titan are processed here. Currently, Wang Chen and others are located at the downstream exit of the production line, which is where the finished parts are produced. They watch the stepping beam slowly dragging one heavy part after another forward and transporting them one by one to a row of saddles.

Well, Wang Chen immediately recalled the experience of working in a factory to screw screws. However, the level of automation here is much better than that of his own factory.

"Silver Wolf, send everyone the surveillance range of the cameras in this area. Let everyone avoid these images as much as possible. Now is not the right time to hack into the cameras." Wang Chen said.

After all, in the previous design of herself and others, from Cocolia's perspective, her capable child Bronya is on par with the hacker level of the other side, the Phantom Thieves. Although the Phantom Thieves can hack into the camera and block the surveillance for a period of time, this will inevitably be discovered and handled in time by Bronya, who is of the same level, and at the same time, she will know that the Phantom Thieves have entered the scene.

As for why he didn't let Bronya turn a blind eye and let himself and others hack in. Please, every action of the Phantom Thieves must be reviewed by Anti-Entropy. If it is found that Bronya always fails to discover the hacking of the Phantom Thieves, I am afraid that Bronya's position will be in jeopardy.

Therefore, for now, the behavior of hacking into the surveillance is essentially telling the other party that the Phantom Thieves have arrived! The cat and mouse game has begun. Well, that's basically it. As for the current situation, we can't tell the other party that we have sneaked in. After all, Xing is a very troublesome person. We have to wait until we get in touch with Yoshino Shinnosuke before we can deal with it.

So now comes the much-loved infiltration phase. Most of the assembly lines are fully automated. There aren't many people here, basically only operators watching the panel data and monitoring data, checking the progress of the assembly line and whether there are any abnormalities.

According to the monitoring range information sent by Bronya, everyone began to move forward slowly. In the process, they occasionally encountered people who could not be avoided, so they had to sneak attack, knock them out with clubs, put them in a hidden position, and then continue to move forward. Kiana was very good at knocking out clubs. Her own luck made her use the baseball bat to hit these anti-entropy personnel one by one accurately and effectively.

"What's that sound?" When everyone came to the middle of the assembly line, they suddenly found that the ground was shaking, as if something heavy was moving.

"The Thunder Mecha is moving, everyone hide first." Bronya reminded.

So, under Bronya's reminder, everyone found their own cover and hid. As they waited for the sound to get closer, as expected, the shutter door at the entrance of the workshop slowly opened, and 5 Thunder Mechas were moving forward in a line, heading in the opposite direction of Wang Chen and others, that is, towards the elevator, apparently to support the troops on Xingmar's side.

The Thunder Mechs advanced slowly and finally arrived at the middle area of ​​the assembly line, which was the area that Wang Chen and the others were hiding in. The first Thunder Mech walked over without any hesitation, followed by the second... the third... the fourth... all of them left the area where Wang Chen and the others were and walked towards the exit.

However, when the fifth Thunder Mech arrived at the area where Wang Chen and the others were, it unexpectedly stopped and did not move forward. For a moment, everyone's mood suddenly tensed up. This was not a good sign.

If they were discovered by the Anti-Entropy personnel, they would be able to secretly eliminate them in the first place without exposing themselves. But if the Thunder Mech discovered them, then what awaited them would be an alert for the entire base, and a large number of Titan troops would gather here.

Wang Chen was also thinking about the next plan in his mind. It’s not that he didn’t have a plan for what to do if he was discovered, but everyone would take certain risks. If possible, Wang Chen still hoped that he and others would not be exposed and discovered.

"What's wrong? Why did you stop suddenly?" In the internal communication of Anti-Entropy, the Thunder Mecha walking in the front made a puzzled voice.

"No... I just feel it's a bit strange. Although the Titan mecha parts production line is sparsely staffed, it's a little too quiet today. Shouldn't there be technicians and maintenance personnel performing daily inspections in the middle section normally?" said the operator of the stopped Thunder Mecha.

"Maybe it's not time yet, maybe it's time to change shifts. After all, it's almost midnight now. Let's go, don't make a fuss. The enemy just arrived and is being surrounded by Lord Xing. We should go immediately. Otherwise, if Lord Xing finds out that we haven't come for a long time... you know the consequences."

"Hiss... I get it. I don't want to be that... Although it won't cost you your life, it's said that people who have experienced it have psychological problems. They have no idea what's been done to them." So the fifth Thunder Mech finally took a step forward. In the end, it didn't detect any traces of Wang Chen and the others.

"Huh, luckily it finally left. Although I don't know what happened to make it stop suddenly, it's okay if it finally left without any reaction." Wang Chen breathed a sigh of relief after looking at the Thunder Mecha that left.

After the five Thunder-controlling Mechas of Anti-Entropy had completely exited the production line and entered the assembly workshop, Wang Chen and others began to move forward and headed towards the entrance of the production line.

Along the way, there were only a few Anti-Entropy operators fiddling with the operation panel. Because these employees were very focused and devoted to their work, they didn't pay attention to the surrounding environment. In the end, Wang Chen and others were able to easily reach the upstream of the production line, which was the entrance area. They came to the rolling door where the Thunder Mecha had just entered the workshop.

"Everyone, be careful in the next area. It's basically the headquarters of the underground base... It's the standby area for the Titan mechas, and it's also the storage area for various equipment and weapons. There are a lot of anti-entropy personnel in there," Bronya warned.

Chapter 161 Two-pronged approach

Anti-Entropy War Zone

This is the core area of ​​the ME company's underground base. The left half of the area is filled with a large number of anti-entropy standard weapons. Of course, the ammunition depot will have a separate storage warehouse, not piled up with the weapons.

The right half of the area is lined up with Titan mechas. It is divided into several blocks. The front ones are the poisonous spider mechas and the spider king mechas. Once activated, they will go straight to the detected enemy and perform a self-destruction attack. Compared with other mechas, the cost of manufacturing is very cheap, so they are the most numerous mechas.

The shaman mech and sorcerer mech were ranked behind. They had already appeared at the top layer, but they had not been formally dealt with. The force field they deployed could directly restrain the opponent, and their force field could also effectively improve the mechanical efficiency of their teammates, thereby increasing the attack speed and strength of the Titan mech.
