Chapter 744 'Gone with the Wind'

Eastern star region, Austin star field, 'Venus' residential planet.

This planet, once famous for its entertainment and film and television, is now engaged in a battle that is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

A tall dark blue mecha flew past the side of a building in the city. The shrill explosion shattered many of the building's glass windows. Not far away in the sky, another white mecha opened fire while moving at high speed. Two laser beams violently tore through the space and brushed past the dark blue mecha's outer shell, leaving two burnt marks.

Soon, the building slowly collapsed, and the people inside who had not yet fainted or died fled from the main body of the building like ants. Some left quickly, while others fell into the billowing smoke below.

"what--"

Various screams were heard from inside and outside the building. Some red and white rescue hovercrafts came above the collapsed building and began to carry out rescue operations. Various fire-fighting and disaster-relief teams were also busy at work.

However, the two sides in the sky had no intention of ceasefire at this moment and were still fighting fiercely.

After rushing into the sky, the jet behind the dark blue mecha burst out with huge thrust again, like five blazing white petals gathered together, allowing it to shuttle between the intersecting particle beams at an extremely high speed and agile trajectory, avoiding attacks several times.

Soon, the two crossed each other in the sky. In an instant, two light beams of different colors collided with each other. Violent sparks sprinkled from the sky like magnesium powder exploding. Then the two turned their fuselages and shot at each other again in the sky. Blue and orange-white light beams passed through the atmosphere from time to time, and sharp tearing sounds came one after another.

As a planet famous for its entertainment and film and television industries, it does not have any important resources or interests, so when the envoys from the central star field clashed with the major factions in the eastern star field, this place was not included in the focus.

However, it is often the places that are least likely to attract attention and where problems are most likely to occur.

In order to avoid the sight of the three major factions in the Eastern Star Region, some small forces in the Eastern Star Region chose to contact the peripheral personnel of the diplomatic mission on this planet. The reason why they did not use the Internet to communicate directly was, firstly, they were afraid of leaks, and secondly, the items of the transaction needed to be kept absolutely confidential and could not be uploaded directly to the Internet.

'Venus' Residence Star, East 3 District, White Beach Resort Hotel.

This is a stop for many tourists to stay in this residential area. The hotel is right on the coast, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery, blue sea waves, white and fine sand, and beautiful movie stars.

Under normal circumstances, the area is often packed with tourists, leaving hotel rooms full and some people having to choose capsule hotels. However, in recent years, due to economic changes within the Federation, the number of tourists in the area has decreased significantly, making previously expensive resort hotels now more affordable.

A small plane flew out gently from the white clouds, drew a graceful arc, slowly lowered its altitude along the coastline, and finally landed at an airport not far from the hotel.

Soon, a man in a plaid shirt and casual jeans came out with a suitcase. Judging from the way he looked around curiously, he must be a tourist visiting this planet for the first time.

After walking out of the airport, he quickly called a hovercraft to take him to the nearest resort hotel. During the process, he deliberately let the hovercraft fly around the hotel building and captured many scenes with the camera in the car.

"I hope to take a good look at the scenery here and take some pictures as a souvenir." This is how he described his request in the recording of the hover car.

After flying around the hotel building, the hovercraft landed under the resort hotel, and then the man walked in carrying his suitcase.

After finding the booked room, the man stayed in the room for an hour and a half before walking out, apparently to find something to eat.

"Do you have any dining spots with great views, fewer people, and a relatively quiet environment?" He asked directly to the self-service machine in the hotel.

"Hello, according to your question, we recommend you to go to the Sunshine Restaurant in the west area of ​​the A32 floor, or the Garden Restaurant in the east area of ​​the B23 floor of the hotel, or the Red Crab Restaurant in the D area of ​​the beach outside the hotel. Each of the three has different specialties, including some high-end food above T3." The self-discipline unit looked up, and the route and pictures were displayed on the panel on its chest, as well as various suggested plans.

"Okay, then take me to the Sunshine Restaurant on the west side of the A32 floor. Remember to reserve a seat for me."

"Okay, I received your order." The robot then led the man to the destination area.

It is just as described here, with bright sunshine but not glaring, and you can enjoy the refreshing sea breeze and overlook the coastal beach below.

After sitting down, the man ordered his meal, then leaned back in a beach chair to bask in the sun and take a nap with his eyes closed.

At this time, there are not many guests here, and no one will deliberately disturb this tourist from the corner.

Time passed minute by minute, and when the self-discipline unit brought the prepared iced drinks and delicious food, the guest had already fallen asleep.

"Hello, your drinks and meals are ready." The self-discipline unit issued a reminder, but the man was still sleeping soundly on the beach chair, with no intention of waking up.

In this case, the self-discipline unit had to give another reminder and turned up the volume to try to wake the other party up.

Unfortunately, this did not have much effect. The other party remained unmoved. Instead, this sound attracted the attention of other guests in the restaurant.

Restricted by rules, the self-discipline unit is not allowed to actively touch the guests to avoid conflicts and accidents, which makes it have to call the other party over and over again.

"What a stupid robot." A guest couldn't stand it anymore, so he came here, woke up the sleeping man and told him what happened.

"Sorry to bother you." The man waved to the people in the restaurant, and then started chatting with the person who woke him up.

It was very crazy. The two of them felt that they had met each other too late. The synchronicity in topics and senses made their time together particularly pleasant.

"Sandy, do you like the feeling of flying in the sky?" The guest who came to help had tan skin, wore a white suit, and had a full briefcase at hand.

"Oh, of course I like it. It feels so cool, like being suffocated by the pleasure of freedom!" The man used an exaggerated metaphor to describe the feeling of flying freely.

"Hahaha, I like it too. It just so happens that I also work for an aircraft company, specializing in debugging flight control parameters and optimizing and improving the next generation of aircraft."

"In order to make a more comfortable and popular aircraft, our company has conducted a lot of research, accumulated data, and even applied for some patents~" the guest in a white suit continued.

"If the system we developed is used, even completely novice drivers can achieve impressive results with the help of AI," the local government said confidently.

"This technology seems very 'interesting'." The man lingered on the word "interesting" for a moment longer, as if he was expressing his feelings about something unknown and new.

Afterwards, the two of them looked at the scenery for a while, chatted about current affairs, etc. Finally, when they were about to leave, the guest in the suit rummaged through his briefcase and found a small white conch.

"This is a local specialty, the 'three-chamber conch'. It can make a pleasant sound of the tide and can help you sleep. I'm giving it to you."

"Thank you, I have a gift here too." As if exchanging gifts, the man took the other party back to the living room and handed the other party a black gift box.

Whether in the eyes of the surveillance camera or bystanders, this was a very normal little thing. However, when the man was about to get off the elevator and walk on the beach, two officers in police uniforms quickly approached him, ready to arrest him.

"You must have made a mistake." Unlike ordinary tourists, he did not cooperate easily, but frowned and retreated carefully.

"You are not mistaken. Please come with us, sir. We have discovered that you are smuggling important items." The two men stepped forward.

"No, if it's a smuggling issue, the people coming must be police officers from the Customs Department, and you are obviously not." After saying this, the two policemen were obviously stunned.

They looked at each other and quickly denied the claim.

"You must have remembered it wrongly. We are police officers under the Customs Department." The two men were confident that there was no problem with their identities and attire.

But just when the two thought the other party would make another excuse or run away, the man suddenly pulled out a hidden thin lightsaber and stabbed one of the police officers. When he attacked the second police officer, the other party dodged it with his superb strength. "Sure enough, you are not ordinary policemen at all." He is a special elite among Sequence 6. Under the surprise attack, even some Sequence 7 extraordinary people would suffer, but the other party resisted.

"Put down your weapons, put your hands up and squat!" The police officer who was still standing took out his pistol and pointed it at the man. Unfortunately, the man still did not stop or run away. Instead, he kicked his opponent directly.

"Bang, bang." Two rapid bursts of shots, one shot splashed blood on the opponent's body, and the other shot grazed his face and disappeared into the wall behind him.

After the gunshot, thanks to his seemingly ordinary but extremely protective outer garment, the man only suffered minor skin injuries, and his powerful kick destroyed the opponent's pistol and kicked him out of the high building, falling below the hotel.

After dealing with the two "abnormal" policemen, the man picked up his suitcase, quickly entered the complex elevator network in the hotel, and disappeared.

A few minutes later, teams of fighters wearing exoskeleton armor rushed into the hotel, completely blocked its entrances and exits, and began to check layer by layer with the help of scanners.

"Catch this man! He is a spy from the Central Star Region who has stolen confidential information. He must be kept here and not allowed to return!"

"Yes!"

A group of fighters began to move. Their actions were directed by high-level AI and were very disciplined and orderly.

First they closed all the exits, then shut down all the elevators in the hotel, then they operated the hotel's central system to isolate and block off each block, then they started the process of checking and cleaning each one one by one.

While these people were taking emergency action, the man was hiding in the mezzanine space between floors, carefully contacting the other side of the data network.

The two sides talked for 1 minute and 39 seconds, and then the man made up his mind and began to disguise his appearance and body shape, and completely changed his image after 12 minutes.

At this time, a woman wearing sunglasses and with long wavy black hair walked out of the bathroom. She was holding a fashionable handbag, her lips were bright red, and her face had clean and neat lines. Her refreshing and beautiful beauty, like sharp high heels, touched the hearts of many passers-by. No one could associate her with the ordinary-looking middle-aged man not long ago.

The woman walked gracefully toward the human wall that blocked the area, her pomegranate-red nails stroking the white exoskeleton armor, and then she moved her face closer to the soldier.

"I'm Frelia from the Four Winds Family. I'm going to meet Mr. Aisen from the Mokodanta Group. We have a date this afternoon. Let me go over, baby~" After saying that, she leaned her face against the other's shoulder and her lips pressed against the mask of the exoskeleton helmet, leaving a touching lip mark.

The young soldier was a little stunned and surprised to be suddenly approached by such a beauty. However, according to the data scanned on the helmet, the other party was indeed the eldest daughter of the "Four Winds Family" and had a noble status.

If so, should he get out of the way? He hesitated, and the woman tapped his shoulder with her delicate fingers, then walked sideways through the gap.

After the woman walked several meters away, his companions looked over here in confusion and asked.

"What happened? Why did you let her pass?"

"She said that she is Frelia, the eldest daughter of the Four Winds Family, and the information on the identity chip also shows that she fits the description..." the soldier answered embarrassedly.

At this time, the teammates on the same channel also paused for a while. After all, to them, the heir of a giant enterprise was an existence whose status far exceeded theirs, like a person in the clouds. This huge gap in status brought them a shock, making them unsure whether to strictly follow orders. What if they offended someone? What if the boss also wanted to flatter the other party?

They waited like this for half a minute before a stern voice came into the channel, waking them up from their dream.

"What are you doing! You actually let a person pass through the blockade!" This was the angry voice of their superior.

"She said she was..." one of the soldiers explained in a low voice.

"Bullshit! If she says yes, then it's OK? If the information shows it's in compliance, then we'll let her go? When did I ever say there's a precedent for this?"

"Immediately mobilize a quarter of your personnel to join the pursuit team. The vehicle will arrive in 7 seconds. Act quickly!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the second arrest operation was launched on the streets of the city. Because this is a tourist city with many tourists coming and going, in order not to affect the local reputation and minimize the impact, the local government had to act cautiously and did not dare to use weapons of mass destruction.

But in the following hour, their pursuit failed repeatedly. The opponent always came up with new tricks and evaded the pursuit again and again.

"The other party may be a core operator of a top firm. I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed if we chase him blindly." Someone in the command room spoke worriedly.

"Seal off the starport, cut off all incoming and outgoing starships, and completely block the East Three Blocks. Put up isolation barriers along the way. Make sure to keep him here."

"Is it necessary to do this? You know, tourism is the pillar industry of the residential planet 'Venus' now. Such a large-scale blockade will definitely bring bad public opinion." Local officials were still a little hesitant and did not want to give the order.

"Idiot, it's already too late, why are you still worrying about this? You just need to know that if he escapes and takes away the key patent information, our Eastern Star Region will lose an important bargaining chip. At that time, there will be many people who will make you regret it!"

"This, this, okay, I got it. Let them block off the area immediately and stop starships from entering and leaving the starport." Wiping the sweat from his forehead, the official gave the order uneasily.

Orange lights lit up at various locations in the area, and then all broadcasts began to take over, informing residents and tourists that the area was blocked off and that rehearsals for a large-scale war film and television drama were about to take place. Audiences were asked to enter nearby shelters as quickly as possible and not to continue walking on the streets.

"Oh, is this true?"

"Why did you suddenly arrange this kind of rehearsal? How can we take a vacation? We finally got here."

"What a bummer."

"A war TV series with a large-scale rehearsal, will the scene be so exciting?" Some people have different ideas and are becoming more excited.

Although some passengers and pedestrians on the street were dissatisfied, they still began to line up and separate under the guidance of the self-discipline unit, and entered the nearby safety facilities along the bright yellow lines projected on the ground.

"Look over there!" someone suddenly shouted happily and eagerly.

Outside the huge barrier that was slowly rising in the distance, a dark blue mecha was seen charging like a giant, violently smashing the hundreds of meters high light yellow transparent barrier, and then rushing into the city.

The shattered barrier energy, the violent air currents, and the scorching air currents that hit their faces almost made passers-by fly up and fall. Many people were terrified, but a few of them shouted excitedly at this time.

"The mecha is the Federation's elite mecha!"

The cool mecha that reflected the cold blue hue in the sunlight passed through various obstacles along the way and grabbed a figure standing on the platform under the fire siege of many autonomous units. Then the violent airflow turned around, and the black hair danced wildly in the wind. The sunglasses that were originally worn were blown off, revealing an exceptionally beautiful face.

Countless bullets poured down, all of which were blocked by the mecha's armor and barriers, only bouncing off various broken sparks. Then it turned sharply, protecting the woman in its grip against its heart, and then flew straight head-on, rushing into the sky with a dazzling halo.

This scene was accidentally captured by a photographer on the road. The fierce artillery fire, the broken metal shells, the sturdy and tall mecha, and the beauty in the wind, this highly impactful photo became the most influential picture of the year, and many fans also gave it a classic and enduring name:
