Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Chapter 649 Chapter 646 Both escape

The powerful firepower is enough to tear apart any enhanced person, but the key to the problem has always been how to prevent the enhanced warrior from using high-speed movement to avoid the fire attack. It is generally believed that only enhanced people can truly suppress enhanced people. Only a very small number of shadow masters with special abilities can do similar things. The constitutional army alone or any team composed of non-enhanced people cannot exert its firepower advantage.

The solution the company came up with was the "enhanced shadow mage": an enhanced warrior who can use area gravity control spells is the best solution for field control. Under fifty times the gravity, even Anzu would be struggling, and all the energy in his body would be used to maintain his body intact. With the help of the implant, it is no problem to carry fifty of your own weight on your shoulders. The implanted bones and some organs can also maintain working status for a short period of time, but what about the brain? That squishy mass of neurons was placed under a hydraulic press, a load it was not designed to bear.

Most people were already dead at this stage, so the other enhanced people looked on in wonder when they saw that Zhuang Xuteng was not only not dead, but was not even crushed to the ground.

"Precision fire coverage is close to the target. Find bunkers immediately."

It has to be said that after the baptism of wars, the company has indeed summarized and trained a combat method that can accurately and quickly focus fire on targets. Various precision-guided explosives were thrown in high arcs, hitting Zhuang Xuteng head-on and face-first. They formed a steep parabola under the influence of enhanced gravity and were forced to concentrate towards the center of the target.

Flames, shock waves and debris covered Zhuang Xuteng, and even enhanced people could not look directly at the violent and continuous flashes. The ground and air were shaking, and the dull sound was like distant thunder, but everyone saw that the explosion was right in front of them, so it felt unreal.

Any enhanced person could be controlled and destroyed in this way, and the price the company had to pay was nothing more than some worthless ammunition and a comatose enhanced warrior. When he fell unconscious, the gravity field was quickly lifted, and the concentration of artillery fire coverage was seriously affected. The enhanced man could only start to retreat in order to avoid being affected. However, they did not forget their responsibilities, and formed an encirclement while keeping distance. Everyone maximized their reconnaissance capabilities, and not even a fly could be allowed to fly out.

The fire continued for five minutes and the explosions never stopped. When the smoke dissipated, three meters of land where Zhuang Xuteng once settled was wiped away. The soft soil was either crushed and thrown away by the shock wave, or it became very solid under the action of pressure. The fortified people came over to check, and they found that there was still a bright fire at the bottom of the pit. It was some scattered, dotted thermite that was burning. This was very consistent with the intelligence's tactical characteristics of Nike's preference to use thermite weapons to burn armored skin. . Other than that, there were only the remains of urban construction facilities at the bottom of the pit, and no body fragments were seen.

"Not even a piece of tooth, skull or anything like that? Impossible, those artillery fires can't clear it so completely! Start a comprehensive search immediately, especially the underground pipelines!" Anzu received the following news on the plane hovering at high altitude , which feels both natural and somewhat unexpected. He believes that being able to become the last threshold created by world consciousness and sent to prevent corporations from taking over everything should have great strength. But Anzu didn't understand how Naike withstood those artillery attacks and escaped under the gunfire.

Pressed down by fifty times the force of gravity, he will stagger. Even if he activates the high-speed and high-explosive implant, he will be pulled into a pile of fragments by the powerful gravity and the impact of the implant in an instant. If Anzu is forcibly controlled, he will use his ability to disable the controller's shadow equipment, or use the shadow gun to kill the guy. Ghost energy bombs are pure energy bodies that are not affected by gravity and can fully function.

With so many enhanced people watching eagerly, it is absolutely impossible for Naike to escape using high-speed and high-explosion implants. The moment the artillery fire covered him, he was indeed in the center, and the flames and shock waves clearly covered him. Anzu scratched his head. He used himself as the standard. If it were him in this situation, he would definitely be blasted badly by artillery fire. Nine times out of ten, he would confess.

"Is it just an illusion that was blown up?" Anzu asked his deputy Elizabeth Xiao to open the top-secret document and began to check the capabilities of all known shadow slave devices and active shadow slaves to see if there were any similar ones.

He had never seen necromancy and disintegration effects, so of course he couldn't think of how Zhuang Xuteng could escape. The moment Zhuang Xuteng was pressed to the ground by gravity, he had already begun to use the disintegration effect to protect important internal organs. Part of his body is not within the protection range, because he needs to create the phenomenon of being forced by gravity and constantly sinking into the ground, so as to keep his abilities secret. What he was most worried about at the time was that the enhanced warriors would use ghost energy bombs to focus fire, but when he sensed the sight of precise artillery shells and guided bombs flying towards him from his tentacles, he was filled with secret joy.

Covered by artillery fire, all damage was blocked by the protective shell created by the disintegration effect, and he also used the cover of flames, smoke and noise to use short bursts to get into the sewer. The sewer entrance only lasted three seconds under the artillery fire, but it was enough for Zhuang Xuteng to escape from inside. He escaped all the way and did not choose to stay away from the spa city. Instead, he returned to the sanatorium, came out of the passageway of the steam well, and hid in the equipment room in the basement.

The company is conducting a comprehensive search, and the focus is indeed on moving away from nursing homes. They also inspected the entire sewer system, allowing dozens of execution puppets to get in and conduct an exhaustive reconnaissance of all parts of the pipes that people could pass through. Every section, every entrance and exit.

The sanatorium was empty and there were many places where Zhuang Xuteng could hide. Taking this opportunity, he recalled and summarized the brief conflict just now. He was sure that he was not discovered when he "entered", and the enhanced person was not alerted by using the sensory tentacles to obtain information, but the action of "leaving" was the reason why he was noticed.

"Who is that investigator?" Zhuang Xuteng used his sensory tentacles to search for targets among the company's enhanced humans. This is not very difficult, because anyone using abilities requires shadow energy. The sensing tentacles are combined with the ability of the shadow eye, and you only need to observe the changes in the intensity of the shadow energy response.

Sensing tentacles shuttled among the crowd, and a few enhanced people also had some feelings. A few enhanced people had a premonition of being spied on and targeted by hostility, and immediately looked around vigilantly. Since Zhuang Xuteng has integrated the strong energy environment of the sensing tentacles and the shadow detection network, they have the same energy characteristics and even fluctuation frequency, and the enhanced person cannot separate the two. "This detection net makes people uncomfortable..." reinforces that this is the conclusion people will eventually come to.

After several hours of searching, they could not find any trace of Zhuang Xuteng. Anzu was quite dissatisfied, but he could only announce that the operation here was temporarily over. The intelligence analysis and frontline staff immediately formulated new contact and combat procedures based on the new situation, and everyone involved in the operation must fully learn and understand them within one day. . All personnel on site left as planned, and the original residents of the nursing center were educated separately according to their confidentiality levels, and information control was strictly implemented.

At this time, Zhuang Xuteng has basically determined who in the team is responsible for regional reconnaissance and who is the potential shadow follower to strengthen the warrior. He could use his resentment to harm or even kill these targets, but that would definitely destroy the hard-won hiding state. After careful consideration, he gave up the assassination and just remembered the characteristics of these people. They still have many opportunities to compete, so there is no need to rush.

On the other side, Elizabeth Xiao has been following Anzu. By observing his words and expressions, she can roughly guess that Anzu is in a bad mood, which cannot be concealed by the calm tone of the order. "The first formal contact, I paid some price, but I also got valuable information." She said in a comforting tone: "The more exposed Naike's methods are, the less powerful they are, and the more we learn, the stronger we become. This time The harvest is great, especially the successful positioning of Zhuang Xuteng.”

Anzu nodded and said: "Earth field detection... I didn't expect that in the end we needed to rely on a shadow caster's field to find Naike. This hiding ability indeed exceeded all the company's research results. Even the shadow detection network It was only after forcing Naike out of his position that he had to take action. This guy was indeed the most difficult enemy the company had ever encountered. "He is an assassin."

"Yes, a top assassin. From now on, key personnel in all key departments need to enter a wartime protection state, and the company's important nodes also enter a wartime operation and maintenance state." Anzu said: "If I were him, I would Choose to go around wreaking havoc instead of confronting the fortified army head-on."

"How much damage can he do?"

"It depends on how many hostages I can hold in my hands! Morgana alone is obviously not enough!" Anzu felt uncomfortable when he thought of this, as if he wanted to regrow natural flesh and blood. "He personally rescued his sister, but she is obviously not with him now. So where is she? His parents are ordinary people. They were on a recuperation trip before. They should be the best to catch. Why are there people around them who can kill people quickly? The bodyguard of the development department manager? Are there already many people of this level?"

Xiao didn't dare to answer, and of course he didn't know how to answer.

"What, are you avoiding the problem?" Anzu obviously saw through Elizabeth's thoughts. "Escape will never solve the problem! One thing you said is right, that is, we can get a lot of inspiration from today's battle. First of all, his maneuverability and lethality in the air have reached the top level. The four major companies added Those who can fight him in the air - here I just mean that they won't be directly knocked to death by him in one face to face, and can at least fight for a few rounds - including me, there are only thirty at most. "

"You are lucky that you did not push him to the point where he had to fight, otherwise you would have died long ago, just like those people in Kaho. I now fully understand how Dr. Egghead's team died. In the air, attack directly Lift up the plane and use your maneuverability to kill them one by one."

Elizabeth Xiao thought of the scene when he used the battle puppet to test Naike: He stepped forward, changed the trend of diving, hid directly in the hidden part of the river embankment, and tricked the battle puppets into diving one by one to chase after him... In fact, Naike had already demonstrated a powerful ability. Aerial mobility, and she didn't cause alarm at that time.

Anzu glanced at Elizabeth and asked, "What are your thoughts? What do you think we should do next?"

"I'm thinking that Naike has an advantage in air combat. Treating land combat as flying close to the ground, his advantage is not small. It is very inefficient to let a group of enhanced people with insufficient combat power to hunt him down. For elites, only elites can be used To fight, this has been proven countless times in corporate wars. It is better for ordinary enhanced people to defend the key hubs of the company. At present, it seems that this Naike is unwilling to fight, at least not to increase the damage effect. . As long as it is dispersed quickly enough to form a deterrent, he will flee, which can reduce the company's losses. "

"It's a good idea, just like the old days of using scarecrows to keep pest birds away. And then what?"

"Public trials of people related to Nike, such as the middleman Lucy and Gongdao's wife and family. People who are really important to Nike, such as Morgana and his parents who will definitely be captured in the future, will have to be Detained secretly. We need to mobilize Naike and let him come to the trap instead of looking for him all over the world. The effect of the shadow detection network on him is very poor and the operating cost is high. Can we consider stopping it?"

"Don't stop until you confirm killing Naike." Anzu waved his hand and said: "Your opinion is good. I will think about it carefully and you can leave."

When Anzu was the only one left in the cabin, he shook his head and showed his true emotion. Elizabeth Xiao's suggestions can only be said to be quite satisfactory, with no bright spots. This shows that her upper limit only ends here, and it is unlikely that she will develop to the top level in the future.

"We still need to find useful talents." Anzu snorted and activated the encrypted line to contact the final meeting. He had an idea that needed to be approved by the Final Council, because this time the bait he wanted to use was an A6 (restricted) level researcher and manager named Zhuang Teng.

He planned to use Zhuang Xuteng's brother as bait, but he didn't believe that Zhuang Xuteng wouldn't come.

Just when Anzu was full of trouble, Ge Gongdao and Zhuang Feifei came to a shadow mine belonging to the Sanliu Charity Foundation, which has the shadow channel closest to Peicheng. The six-legged saber-toothed horse turned into two piles of salt grains after delivering them. The two of them put on their invisibility rings in advance, and while observing the guards of the mine, they quietly walked towards the transmission channel hand in hand.

The two of them were very nervous, and the effect of the invisible ring was quite good. Since the company has absolutely no information that Zhuang Xuteng can enter the Shadow Realm, they have blocked the relevant knowledge for a long time. I believe that ordinary people do not know the information that entering the Shadow Realm will be corroded and fatal. Therefore, they only set up tight defenses at the entrances of each mine. The defensive intensity on the field is still the same as before.

The Lich Master's world-destroying spell washed away the shadow world, and the company could only replace the dead staff with execution puppets. In terms of mining, processing and transportation, the execution capabilities of the puppets are fully qualified, but it is a bit too difficult for them to deal with novel phenomena that they have never seen before. Although some execution puppets heard the footsteps of Gogong Dao - please forgive his weight - the sound did not affect their work and was ignored. Executing a puppet never has the "alertness" and "inspiration" of a living person, so Ge ​​Gongdao and Zhuang Feifei passed through the shadow portal without any danger and returned to the suburbs of Peicheng.

The invisibility ring could still function for a while, so the two of them gave up their rest, hid on the roof of the transport vehicle, and drove out of the dangerous place.
