The assassination plan was probably to first alert the personnel inside the Third Research Institute through an explosion, and then arrange some other cannon fodder killers as a cover to attract the attention of the security personnel. In the name of assisting Mebius to transfer to a safe area, make contact and then look for an opportunity to assassinate Mebius.
Erwin didn't seem surprised at all, and his expression seemed to have hardly changed from beginning to end.
All of this fell into Admiral's eyes and also attracted the attention of others present.
"Let's find a way to evacuate to a safe area first. Follow me." Zhu Yufeng said to others.
Chapter 127 Plans other than the assassination plan
Inside the third research institute of Fire Moth.
Modesti looked at Marshall, who was smiling, and asked in a deep voice: "Can you tell me now why you suddenly moved up the plan? Don't you know how much impact the disruption of the original plan will have on the assassination?"
"Heh..." Marshall shrugged and said, "If Xila hadn't completely ignored my instructions, I wouldn't even think it was necessary to inform you."
"I am really sorry to disappoint you." Modesti said coldly, "Xila only obeys the orders of me as the commander. I am also fully responsible for this assassination plan. You are just a supporter. Do you still want to take over?"
"After all, plans can never keep up with changes, right?" Marshall spread his hands. "Okay, Modesty, now you give the order and let Xila follow me to kill Mebius. As for you, stay outside and try to attract the attention of others. I can guarantee that Mebius will die this time."
Modesti stared at Marshall coldly, but the other party seemed not to have listened to her words at all and still acted as if he was giving the orders.
"I can't let Xila take risks with you before you tell me your detailed plan!" Modesti said. Xila is the only card in her hand at present, and she will never hand over Xila's command easily.
Marshall's eyes flashed with impatience, but his tone remained calm: "You have planned many assassinations. It is best for you to stay outside and command those people to attract attention. As for Xila, you and I both know that Mobius must die, and she will not survive tonight. I advise you to make a decision quickly. The assassination has already begun. It won't take long for the security personnel of the Fire Moth to suppress the mob outside. If you miss the best opportunity and fail to kill Mobius, neither you nor I will be able to complete our mission."
"It's ridiculous. You're the only one who can't deliver, Marshall." Modesti was anxious, but his expression remained playful. "If the assassination fails, I can just say that it was you who acted in advance, didn't communicate with any of us, and refused to reveal any information to us. I have no reason to believe you."
Modesti is now a bit desperate. Regardless of whether the assassination succeeds or fails, she will be pushed out as a scapegoat. So she might as well make sure that all the information is in her own hands and place all the bets on Mebius.
Marshall finally couldn't hold back his smile. He looked at Modesti gloomily. He didn't expect this woman to be so difficult to deal with. He believed that the conditions he offered would not be bad. After all, as long as Modesti handed over the command of Xila, wouldn't it be a safe thing for her to command those cannon fodder outside?
Of course he had his own plans, but he had no intention of telling anyone about his plans. The people above only cared about the results and did not care about the process. That was why he accepted the secret order. He had enough room to operate, and the fewer people who knew about his plans and what he was going to do, the better. He did not want to leave any handle on him to anyone.
But now, without Xila's command, he had no confidence in dealing with Zhu Yufeng.
If it weren't for the fact that the warrior whose recent performance was catching up with Alicia's, many people in the upper echelons would have admired him. Even the one who gave him the secret order said that if it was not necessary, only Mobius should be killed.
The appearance of that guy almost put everyone under his feet.
Some people would say that he is talented, trains harder than anyone else, and has a high task completion rate, so it is natural that he is valued.
But there will always be people who are unhappy with him. Just look at the people around him. He is favored by Mebius, is Alicia's deputy, has a cheerful and optimistic junior like Padofils, and is a distinguished guest of Spiral Workshop. Even the cold and taciturn former killer will relax when talking to him.
They would think, why? Because he is talented, because he is so popular, so he can hook up with so many girls?
The most important thing is this guy's attitude. He can hardly remember people's names, as if no one matters to him. In daily life, except for Alicia and the others, or the other two roll kings Kevin and Kosmo, he seldom communicates with other people.
It's as if he looks down on other people.
Of course, the higher-ups thought it was nothing. What was wrong with not communicating with others? Did it affect his mission to fight Honkai? Or did it affect the unity of the Fire Moths? He didn't say bad things to others, did he? It's just that he didn't communicate much and couldn't remember names? Which outstanding talent doesn't have some problems these days?
Well...except Alicia.
Marshall believed that he was an excellent soldier of the Fire Moth except that he often did some dirty work for the top leaders. But since Zhu Yufeng came, when it comes to excellent talents, the people that the soldiers often discuss are Zhu Yufeng, in addition to Alicia. If it were just that, it would be fine. The most annoying thing is his relationship with the people around him.
Marshall looked at Modesti. He knew he only had this one chance. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally said, "The director of the Third Institute is ready to cooperate with us to kill Mebius. When Xila attracts the attention of the people around Mebius, he will take the opportunity to act. Even if he fails, he has attracted enough attention. If I act again, I will definitely succeed. Okay, that's my plan. Can you hand over Xila's command?"
Modesti looked at Marshall and smiled jokingly, "I'm really sorry. Your plan is indeed feasible, but unfortunately, I don't think you are qualified to take over the command of Xila. After all, it's most reassuring to hold a knife in your own hands, right? Let me go with you. Hurry up. As you said, those cannon fodders will be suppressed in no time."
Marshall stared at Modesti and sneered in his heart. He had given Modesti a way out, but she insisted on going to a dead end. That was none of his business. Saying anything more would only be a waste of time. Therefore, he finally nodded and said, "Then come with me. The place where Mebius and the others are now is quite a distance from here. Hurry up."
Modesti looked at Marshall and quickly followed. With her years of experience in judging people, this guy definitely had something else to tell her. However, judging from his eagerness to take over Xila's command, there was no way he would plot against her, because even if she died, Xila would not listen to him. So...
Is there anyone else he wants to kill?
Modesti quickly recalled the people around Mebius in her mind. It seemed that there was a young man who was designated by Mebius as a guard, and he had a cooperative relationship with Mebius. Xila also had an impression of that young man. He was almost the biggest obstacle in this assassination operation.
With Xila's current condition, if the young man didn't take it lightly, based on the worst-case scenario, he could tie with Xila. Although Marshall is strong, Modesti has been fighting in the killer world for more than ten years to climb to her current position. In terms of combat power and experience, she is definitely not inferior to Marshall.
So, the biggest variable is actually the director of the third research institute?
The director of a research institute even participated in the assassination. What did Mobius do to deserve such hatred?
the other side.
"Are you sure it's safe here?" Zhu Yufeng took a look at the surrounding environment. Following the emergency evacuation plan, the researchers evacuated in batches through different secret passages. This incident was clearly an assassination. The other guards in the communication device also confirmed the approximate time required for suppression. Therefore, there was no need to move out. Mebius and others stayed in a secret room waiting for news.
"Don't worry, the security measures here are of the highest standard. Even if we encounter a heavy fire attack, we can buy enough time to evacuate from the secret passage." Yadmiller said.
"But if someone uses an access card or other tricks to avoid attention and come in, and there is no way to open the secret passage in time, it will be difficult to evacuate from this secret room, right?" said Mebius.
"Indeed." Admiral nodded, "But this is impossible, because not many people know the exact location of this shelter, and only Director Erwin and I have the access card, so there is no need to worry about someone being able to cheat and get in."
"Really?" Mebius looked at Erwin thoughtfully.
Erwin looked calm and said nothing.
Zhu Yufeng glanced at Alvin. He had always felt that there was something wrong with this old man, but he couldn't really tell what was wrong because he was too calm. This could be explained by the fact that he had seen all kinds of storms at an old age. He just subconsciously didn't believe this old man. After all, this old guy almost took everyone to experience art on the spot as if he was Patrick Star.
As for the issue of access control, the shelter was temporarily designated by Admiller. According to Admiller, even for an insider, it would be difficult to get in. However, if there is another insider, that may not be the case.
In addition, the assassination attempt started earlier than expected. Either there was something fishy going on with Modesti or there was an internal problem, and now this problem was most likely from Erwin.
Another strange thing was that in the plan he and Mebius saw, the assassination should have happened when they were transferred, but they didn't see Xila after they were transferred.
"In short, we should just deal with it as it comes." Zhu Yufeng thought to himself, and then walked to the position behind Ervin. This position made it convenient for him to keep an eye on the door while guarding against Ervin suddenly causing trouble. As long as Ervin made any move, he would aim the gun directly at Ervin and fire.
Alvin also noticed Zhu Yufeng's actions, but he didn't say anything and just looked in the direction of the door in silence.
Mobius glanced at the people around him, walked straight to Zhu Yufeng, and then began to plan the next experiments as if nothing had happened.
Some materials for the super-transformation surgery have been prepared, but some necessary temporary equipment made by Velvi has not been calibrated and tested. Now Velvi and Alicia are investigating Zhu Yufeng's origins and will not be back for a while, so Mebius will have to do it himself. He also has to arrange the order of other experiments. The first super-transformation surgery after rebirth is something that cannot be known to anyone.
"As for Xila, it's just right. Among the Honkai beasts she fused, there is also Shesha." Mobius thought to himself, "It's just right. Shesha's tissue samples are in the laboratory now. Xila's modified physical fitness can also resist the side effects caused by some equipment problems..."
Su and Admiller looked at each other. They both realized that something was wrong in the shelter, but they remained silent. Su looked at Zhu Yufeng. He knew that Zhu Yufeng had never let down his guard against Erwin. With Zhu Yufeng's character, he would shoot if Erwin dared to threaten Mobius.
In order to avoid the worst outcome, Su was thinking about how he should subdue Director Erwin before Zhu Yufeng if he really did something violent. He believed that Zhu Yufeng would not do anything to him, and as long as he subdued Erwin, Zhu Yufeng would not shoot again.
Although Su is a researcher, he never neglects exercise in order to maintain a healthy body.
After all, he is someone who could play basketball with Kevin before he became a fusion warrior.
Admiller turned his gaze to Mobius. He was thinking about some future solutions, as well as the communication between the Third Institute and the First Institute on the current research progress of the Herrscher.
Based on his understanding of his teacher, he was afraid that the teacher would really do something violent this time. It was not that he did not care, but everyone had to pay the price for their actions. The teacher's rationality had been replaced by his paranoid sensibility, and he was no longer suitable to continue doing research, so he decided to wait and see. If the teacher really did something that might undermine the cooperation between the Third Institute and the First Institute, he would take corresponding measures.
Time passed in silence, and suddenly, the door of the shelter room was opened.
The moment he noticed the movement, Zhu Yufeng pointed the gun towards the door. Admiller and Su also focused their attention on Ervin. They moved their positions, Su quietly stood beside Ervin, and Admiller moved to a corner.
The door opened and a projectile was thrown in.
Zhu Yufeng immediately shot away the thrown object, and then smoke began to spread in the shelter.
"Smoke bomb? Luckily I brought infrared night vision goggles this time." Zhu Yufeng thought to himself, and then caught sight of Xila's figure in his field of vision. He did not hesitate at all and immediately chose to shoot.
But the opponent's movements were faster. Even though he was sure that he had hit Xila, Xila still broke through in front of him. Zhu Yufeng threw away the gun in his hand and used the Honkai energy to make a shield like Alicia did, blocking Xila's thrust. Then he used the Honkai energy to condense a sword and slashed at Xila with his other hand. Xila easily caught the attack, and then kicked his shield to distance himself.
At this time, a roar was heard, and Admiller activated the exhaust device of the shelter and opened the secret passage.
I'm a sheep. I thought I could hold on for a while, but after a day of sleeping, my fever rose to 39.1 in the afternoon. I was in so much pain all over. My immune system is like that of my grandmother, level 42. Either the virus will die or I will die. I had planned to finish the Wind Rhythm Grey repair this month, but now it seems I'm going to die again. I'm not sure how I'll be tomorrow. I'll update as soon as I feel better.
Chapter 128: Still as Arrogant Without the Herrscher Core
With the exhaust device turned on, the effect of the smoke bomb became very limited. Admiral looked at Mebius and said, "Dr. Mebius, please follow me to the secret passage."
Mobius glanced at Zhu Yufeng who was struggling with Xila. After Xila broke in, he hadn't seen anyone else. However, the assassination plan clearly included Marshall as a backup. If Marshall didn't appear here with Xila at this moment, then...
Mebius glanced at Erwin again. She had enough reason to suspect that Erwin had been in touch with Marshall. The fact that Xila was able to enter the shelter was enough to explain it. If what Admiller said was true, only he and the old man Erwin had the access cards here. If Erwin provided information, it was not impossible for Marshall to sneak into the escape passage and wait for her to come over.
At that time, I would have to follow two unarmed researchers to deal with an elite warrior of the Fire Moth, and I would also have to consider Erwin's backstab...
"This is really a big gamble..." Mobius said in her heart. She seldom entrusted her life in the hands of others. She didn't like this feeling very much. Zhu Yufeng was an exception. However, at the moment, she seemed to have to pin her hopes on Modesty's rebellion.
If she stayed here, with Xila's means, she would probably try to attack her with all her might. In order to protect her, Zhu Yufeng would have to pay attention to her position and safety. This would make it even easier for him, who was already evenly matched with Xila, to fall into a disadvantage.
Once Zhu Yufeng falls, then everyone else present will probably be unable to escape.
Now, it seems that she only has one choice left.
"Let's go." said Mebius.
Xila noticed that Mobius, Admiller and others retreated into the secret passage. She raised the gun with her left hand, which had not moved much, and aimed at Mobius. Zhu Yufeng's Honkai energy turned into a spear and threw it at Xila, while starting to move. Xila reacted immediately and moved aside, but her shoulder was still inevitably scratched.
At the same time, she also fired that shot. However, because Zhu Yufeng was not far from Xila, the moment he realized Xila's purpose, he began to move, using the Honkai energy to open a shield to block Xila's gun.
"Well!"
Taking the impact of a bullet at close range is no different from taking a thrust from Xila. The bullet directly shattered the shield made by Zhu Yufeng, and the residual kinetic energy caused the bullet to hit his left hand and stay inside.
The moment the shield shattered, Xila did not hesitate at all. He rushed in front of Zhu Yufeng with a bayonet in his hand and stabbed hard towards his heart. Zhu Yufeng was not careless. He immediately squatted down to avoid Xila's attack, but the moment Xila noticed his squatting movement, he immediately changed the direction of the bayonet and the target became Zhu Yufeng's head.
Zhu Yufeng knew Xila's reaction after he squatted, so he used his right hand to create a shield again to protect his head. Because Xila changed her target temporarily, the force of her attack on the head was not as strong as when she stabbed Zhu Yufeng's heart at the beginning.
"If I were not a Herrscher now, I would be in real trouble." Zhu Yufeng thought to himself, and then used Honkai energy on his left hand. During the several months of special training with Hua to practice Taixu Sword God, he not only deepened his mastery of Honkai energy, but also discovered his own way to use power.
To put it simply, he can currently make his physical state go back to a short period of time. It sounds similar to the ability of the Sixth Herrscher, but in terms of principle, it is completely different.
If it was the Sixth Herrscher, in order to repair the damaged tissue, the bullet would need to be removed, or the bullet would be squeezed out by the repaired tissue during the repair process. However, for him, time completely went back, the tissue damaged by the bullet was repaired instantly, and the bullet lodged in the arm was also directly erased.
If this trick could be used on other people, Sakura wouldn't have to recuperate for a month. He could have repaired Sakura's injuries directly at that time.
And it is not without disadvantages. That is, this operation will greatly consume his own Honkai energy. Although the Herrscher has a high tolerance for Honkai energy, the Honkai energy is essentially stored in the Herrscher core. He is now a Herrscher without a Herrscher core. High resistance to Honkai energy does not mean that more Honkai energy can be retained in his body.
However, due to the Herrscher's high affinity for Honkai energy, after consuming a large amount of Honkai energy, it will be replenished after a period of time. To put it simply, it is replenishing the blue bar.
After his left hand recovered, Zhu Yufeng immediately took out another pistol with his left hand. He was not left-handed, so shooting with his left hand was not very accurate, but Xila was so close to him that it would be strange if he missed.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Everything happened in a flash, and even Xila didn't react immediately. After all, in her prediction, Zhu Yufeng's left hand had been embedded in it by a bullet, making it difficult to use it flexibly, and he could not launch a quick counterattack in a short period of time.
The bullet hit her abdomen at close range. After a moment of unconsciousness, Xila moved again as if she didn't feel any pain. She distanced herself from Zhu Yufeng and fired several shots at him with her left hand. All of them were blocked by Zhu Yufeng's shield.
After this fight, Zhu Yufeng's injuries were healed by himself, while Xila suffered an abdominal injury and several other minor injuries.
Blood gushed out from Xila's abdomen, but she didn't care at all. She continued to attack Zhu Yufeng again and again as if she was unaffected, but her movements began to become slower and slower as time went by.
"Anesthesia bullet?" Xila spoke for the first time.
Immediately, she prepared to stab herself with the bayonet, trying to delay the effect of the anesthetic bullet, but because her movements had become slow, Zhu Yufeng stepped forward before she could move, snatched the bayonet from her hand, and pressed Xila to the ground.
Then he added another tranquilizer bullet.
"Why...?" Xila asked finally.
Zhu Yufeng did not answer, but just watched Xila lose consciousness.
Xila has a high resistance to anesthesia, so he chose to fire several shots at Xila. The anesthetic bullet will only take effect after entering the target's body. Xila did not notice it at first because she has a high resistance to the anesthetic bullet. Then, after being hit by the anesthetic bullet, she moved vigorously, causing her blood flow to accelerate, making the anesthetic bullet take effect quickly.
"At least... he's easier to deal with than Qianjie..." Zhu Yufeng muttered to himself. The last time he and Alicia subdued Qianjie, they emptied several magazines, and Qianjie just lay there for a while before waking up.
Compared to Qianjie, Xila's physique should still be considered human...
Although logically he should tie up Xila tightly now, he also thought of what Mobius had thought. He was afraid that Modesty would not act as agreed, or she would be discovered to be a rebel and be eliminated in advance. In that case, Mobius and his men would be facing an elite warrior of the Fire Moth.
Therefore, after giving Xila a simple bandage, he hurriedly entered the secret passage, moving forward at his fastest speed. He himself did not notice that silver began to appear in front of his eyes.
the other side.
Mebius looked coldly at Marshall who was standing opposite her. Marshall greeted Mebius with a smile: "Hi, Dr. Mebius, I didn't expect that we would meet in this way in the end."
"Hehe, save the polite words, Marshall." Mebius sneered. The corner of her eye fell on the woman next to Marshall. It seemed that she was Modesty.
"Alas..." Marshall followed through on the idea that villains die because they talk too much. "A great scientist like you left nothing behind before you died. Isn't that a pity?"
"Are you so relaxed because you think I can't escape?" Mobius sneered, "In my opinion, you are just giving me a chance to buy time."
"Oh?" Marshall said while playing with the gun in his hand, "Did you place your hopes on that guy Feng? That's really a pity. The killer he faces is Xila of the Evil Eye. Last time, even Sakura, who was once known as the Scarlet Night Sakura, didn't get any advantage from Xila and seemed to be at a disadvantage. I admit that Feng's record in the battle against Honkai is indeed outstanding, but this time, he is not facing an inanimate beast, but a killing machine with human thinking."
"Really?" Mebius crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows, "I'm really sorry. I have a lot of confidence in Yu Feng."
Marshall groaned and became a little annoyed. "He's really too dazzling. If he was just dazzling, it wouldn't be a big deal. But why does he always attract so many people's attention? Be it Alicia, you, or even that Vivi, Ying, and Padufils... In addition, there are other girls who are not close to him but admire him. Tell me, how many more people will he harm?"
Mobius was silent. How should she put it? Zhu Yufeng's ability to attract girls has become a recognized fact in the Fire Moth. This was not without the promotion of the funny sisters Dan, Zhu, and Cangxuan. Even though she seldom left the laboratory, she could occasionally hear people discussing who Zhu Yufeng would be a pair with.
