Chapter 649 Chapter 646 Both Escaped
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 warriors from using high-speed movement to avoid the firepower attack. It is generally believed that only enhanced people can truly suppress enhanced people, and only a very small number of shadow wizards with special abilities can do similar things. The Constitution Army or any team composed of non-enhanced people cannot play the firepower advantage alone.
The solution proposed by the company is "enhanced shadow wizard": an enhanced warrior who can use regional gravity control spells is the best control solution. Under fifty times gravity, even Anzu will have a hard time, and all the energy in the body will be forced to be used to keep the body intact. With the help of the implant, it is no problem to carry fifty of his own weight on his shoulders, and the implant bones and some organs can also maintain working conditions for a short time, but what about the brain? That soft collection of neurons is like being placed under a hydraulic press. This is not a burden it is designed to bear at all.
Most people have died at this stage, so other enhanced people are amazed to see that Zhuang Xuteng is not only alive, but not even crushed.
"Precision firepower coverage is approaching the target, find shelter immediately."
It must be said that after the baptism of wars, the company has indeed summarized and trained a combat method that can accurately and quickly concentrate fire on the target. Various precision-guided explosives use high-throw arcs to smash down on Zhuang Xuteng, and form a steep parabola under the action of enhanced gravity, forcing them to concentrate in the center of the target.
Flames, shock waves and fragments covered Zhuang Xuteng, and the violent and continuous flashes were too intense for even the enhanced people to look directly at. The ground and air were shaking, and the dull sound was like thunder from afar, but everyone saw the explosion in front of them, so they felt it was not real.
Any enhanced person could be controlled and destroyed in this way. The price the company asked to pay was just some worthless ammunition and a weakened and unconscious enhanced soldier. When he fell unconscious, the gravity field was quickly lifted, and the concentration of artillery coverage was seriously affected. In order to avoid being affected, the enhanced people had to start retreating. However, they did not forget their duties. They formed an encirclement while keeping their distance. Everyone used their reconnaissance ability to the maximum, and not a single fly could be allowed to fly out.
The fire lasted for five minutes, and the explosions never stopped. When the smoke cleared, the land where Zhuang Xuteng had once stood was eliminated by three meters. The soft soil was either crushed and thrown out by the shock wave, or became very solid under the pressure. The enhanced people came up to check and found that there was still a bright fire at the bottom of the pit. It was some scattered and dotted thermite burning, which was very consistent with the tactical characteristics of the intelligence that Naike liked to use thermite weapons to burn armored skin. In addition, there were only the wreckage of urban construction facilities at the bottom of the pit, and no body fragments were seen.
"Not even a piece of tooth, skull or something like that? Impossible, those artillery fires can't do such a thorough removal! Start a comprehensive search immediately, especially the underground pipelines!" Anzu received the following news on the plane hovering in the sky, which was both reasonable and somewhat unexpected. He believed that being able to become the final threshold created by the world consciousness and sent out to prevent the company from taking control of everything should have strong strength. But Anzu didn't understand how Nike could withstand the artillery attacks and escape in the artillery fire.
With fifty times the gravity pressing down, he would stagger. Even if he activated the high-speed high-explosive implant, he would be pulled into a pile of fragments in an instant by the strong gravity and the impact force brought by the implant. If Anzu was controlled hard, he would use his ability to make the controller's shadow from the device invalid, or use the shadow from the gun to kill the guy. The ghost energy bomb is a pure energy body, not affected by gravity, and can be fully effective.
With so many enhanced people watching covetously, Nike would never be able to use the high-speed high-explosive implant to escape. At the moment of artillery fire, he was indeed in the center, and the flames and shock waves clearly covered him. Anzu scratched his head. He took himself as a standard. If he were in this situation, he would definitely be blown up by the artillery fire, and nine out of ten would confess.
"Is it just an illusion that was blown up?" Anzu asked his deputy Elizabeth Shaw to open the most confidential documents and began to check all known shadow slave equipment and active shadow slave abilities to see if there were any similar ones.
He had never seen necromancy and disintegration effects, so of course he could not think of how Zhuang Xuteng escaped. The moment Zhuang Xuteng was pressed to the ground by gravity, he had already begun to use the disintegration effect to protect his important internal organs. Part of his body was not within the protection range, because he needed to create the phenomenon of being pressed by gravity and constantly sinking into the ground, so that his ability could be kept secret. At that time, what he was most worried about was being focused by the enhanced warriors with ghost energy bombs, but when he sensed the scene of precise artillery shells and guided bombs flying over from the tentacles, his heart was filled with joy.
The artillery fire covered the area, and all the damage was blocked outside 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 drill into the sewer. The sewer entrance only lasted three seconds under the artillery attack, but it was enough for Zhuang Xuteng to escape from it. He escaped all the way and did not choose to go away from the hot spring resort city. Instead, he returned to the inside of the sanatorium, came out from the entrance 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 the confidentiality level, 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, she can roughly guess that Anzu is in a bad mood, which cannot be concealed by the calm tone of the order. "This is the first formal contact. I paid some price, but I also got valuable information." She said in a comforting tone: "The more exposed Naik's methods are, the less effective 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 is indeed the most difficult enemy the company has ever encountered."
"He's 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, at least 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 stood up and 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 pursue... In fact, Naike had already shown With her powerful aerial mobility, she did not cause any alert at that time.
Anzu glanced at Elizabeth and asked, "What are your thoughts? What do you think we should do next?"
"I was thinking that Nike has an advantage in air combat, and if he considers land combat as flying close to the ground, his advantage is not small. It is 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, which has been proven countless times in corporate wars. Ordinary enhanced people are better off defending the company's key hubs-it seems that Nike is reluctant to fight, at least he will not stay to increase the destructive effect. As long as he is dispersed quickly enough and forms a deterrent, he will flee, which can reduce the company's losses."
"This is a good idea, just like using scarecrows to drive away harmful birds in the past. Then what?"
"Open People related to Nike, such as the middleman Lucy and Ge Gongdao's wife and family, will be tried. People who are really important to Nike, such as Morgana and his parents who will definitely be captured in the future, should be secretly detained. We need to mobilize Nike and make him come to the trap, instead of looking for him all over the world. The shadow detection network has a very poor effect on him, and the operating cost is high. Can we consider stopping it? "
"Don't stop until it is confirmed that Nike is killed." Anzu waved his hand and said, "Your opinion is good. I will think about it carefully. You can leave."
When Anzu was the only one left in the cabin compartment, he shook his head and revealed his true emotions. Elizabeth Shaw's suggestion can only be said to be mediocre, without any highlights, which means that her upper limit is here, and it is unlikely to develop to the top level in the future.
"We still have to find talents that can be used." Anzu snorted and started the encrypted line to contact the Doomsday Association. He had an idea that needed to be approved by the Doomsday Association, because the bait he wanted to use this time was an A6 (restricted) level researcher and manager named Zhuang Teng.
He planned to use Zhuang Xuteng's brother as bait, and he didn't believe that Zhuang Xuteng would not come.
Just when An Zu was full of bad intentions, Ge Gongdao and Zhuang Feifei came to a shadow mine belonging to the Sanliu Charity Foundation, where there was a shadow passage closest to Peicheng. After the six-legged saber-toothed horse sent them there, it turned into two piles of salt grains. The two put on invisible rings in advance, and while observing the guard situation of the mine, they quietly went to the transmission passage hand in hand.
The two were quite nervous, and the effect of the invisible ring was quite strong. Since the company had no information that Zhuang Xuteng could enter the shadow world, they had blocked the relevant knowledge for a long time, and believed that ordinary people were not aware of the information that entering the shadow world would be corrupted and fatal, so they only made strict defenses at the entrances of various mines, and the defense strength inside the mines was still the same as before.
The lich master's world-destroying spell washed the shadow world, and the company could only replace the dead staff with execution puppets. In terms of mining, processing and transportation, the execution puppets' working ability is fully qualified, but it is a bit too difficult for them to deal with new and strange phenomena that they have never seen. Although some execution puppets heard the footsteps of Ge Gongdao - please forgive his weight - this sound did not affect their work and was ignored. Execution puppets never have the "alertness" and "inspiration" of living people, so Ge Gongdao and Zhuang Feifei passed through the shadow world portal without any danger and returned to the suburbs of Peicheng.
The invisibility ring can still work for a while, and the two of them gave up resting, hid on the roof of the transport vehicle, and drove out of the dangerous place.
