“Our Group B has reached the designated location.”
“Group D has also arrived.”
“Group C has arrived. Their defenses are very lax. We have completely infiltrated the monitoring system and can blind them at any time.”
“All groups, pay attention.”
Peony quickly ordered:
“Reorganize according to the original groupings. Restore the Temple Squad and the Pinnacle Maid Corps. Follow the conditions set by the Commander. The commander of the Temple Squad is Captain Zheng Shiduo.”
“Okay,” Zheng Shiduo said in a deep, steady baritone.
Zheng Shiduo has entered 【Non-Perverted Reliable Mode】, and quickly established a new command channel.
All sixteen members remained invisible and acted separately according to the pre-set routes.
At this moment, they were located in the connecting area between Ironwall Stronghold's outer city and the industrial zone. There were two checkpoints ahead that could not be avoided and had to be forced through.
The Temple Squad was responsible for the frontal attack.
The Pinnacle Maid Corps moved nimbly to the nearby water supply pipeline. They would enter the outer city's Cliffside Airport from the main water supply pipeline (the airport's runway was set inside the mountain), launching an attack in that direction to cut off the enemy's escape route.
The Temple Squad squatted in several corners of the checkpoint, waiting for the Maid Corps to reach the Cliffside Airport area.
Any one of them could easily destroy this checkpoint.
But as soon as they made a move, they would expose their whereabouts and alarm that S-class psionic.
Peony's voice rang in the ears of the eight again: “Please wait patiently. Thirty seconds after my team starts attacking, your team will launch a full-force assault.”
Zheng Shiduo immediately replied: “Understood.”
“I have locked onto the S-class psionic fluctuation…”
Wu Man's voice was a little more doubtful:
“The psionic reaction index of this S-class is only about six times that of Ji Xiao, so it should be considered an A+ level existence.”
Ji Xiao responded seriously: “I am actually a relatively strong A-class. Of course, the past me cannot compare to the current me. After Teacher Wang's training, I am now terrifyingly strong!”
“There's a training course?” Zheng Shiduo pretended to be shocked.
Ji Yalei instructed: “Feiyan is good at mental shock, so she must be good at mental control and mental interference. Everyone must be careful. This kind of S-class psionic is specifically used to deal with humans.”
Zheng Shiduo laughed: “So, this Feiyan is at the bottom of the barrel. We have the little treasures given by the Commander, plus the mental shock protection device reinforced by armor, so it's not a big problem.”
“Stop planting flags here! You're almost like an old general on stage!”
The eldest sister in the team scolded fiercely.
A veteran frontline psionic said in a deep voice: “Don't be careless. Pay attention to the sword formation. We are here to verify the feasibility of the Seven Star Sword Formation against S-class. Armor can only slightly protect us. Remember, there must be no侥幸 mentality.”
The eight nodded at the same time.
Wang Jixuan's voice suddenly rang in the hearts of the eight:
“Cheer up. The Commander is watching you. The sword formation is one.”
The sixteen eyes of the eight people burst out with amazing light!
They began to seriously discuss tactics, such as who would expose themselves to attack Checkpoint A, who would attack Checkpoint B, and so on.
On the other side, the eight members of the Maid Corps quickly approached Cliffside Airport through the water supply pipeline.
The surprise attack was about to begin.
……
Wang Jixuan thought that the Thirteenth Institute's branch would be very impressive.
He and Fu Jian were like two old men taking a walk after dinner, observing the various aspects of life along the way, and arrived at a round hall in the mid-section industrial zone.
Spiritual consciousness paved the way, benefiting oneself.
On the left side of the round hall was an inconspicuous corridor entrance. Going forward fifty meters would lead to a descending elevator. Descending about one hundred and twenty meters by elevator would lead to the front hall of the Thirteenth Biological Institute's Ironwall Stronghold Branch.
The elevator door opened, and Wang Jixuan and Fu Jian walked out without making any noise.
The two white-coated girls sitting at the front desk tilted their heads and looked towards the elevator.
“Did someone press the elevator just now?”
“No… Should we notify the guards?”
“Let me call out.”
The girl on the left pressed the button on the intercom beside her: “There's something abnormal at Elevator 1.”
The intercom crackled with the sound of shuffling cards.
A man muttered and cursed: “What a hassle. Who can come and cause trouble here? When I get back, don't look at the cards!”
Several card players laughed and joked, constantly spewing out foul language.
Half a minute later, a man came out of the guard room on the left, his uniform loose and sloppy.
He was a C-class psionic, which was considered good in Ironwall Stronghold.
The elevator door had closed on its own. The man walked to the front desk and glanced around, then scanned back and forth with a flashlight-like instrument and turned his head and said:
“What's abnormal? Where's the abnormality?”
The front desk girl whispered: “The elevator door opened by itself just now.”
“The elevator program is malfunctioning. There's not even a mosquito here.”
The psionic guard approached the front desk, reached out and touched the face of the girl on the left. The latter quickly lowered her head and dodged back, while the girl next to her lowered her head and dared not speak.
“Stay with me for a year, and I'll take you to the Psionic Capital with me when I go back.”
“Wen Ge, don't be like this… Professor Shen said…”
The psionic guard remembered something, smiled awkwardly, shrugged, and impatiently cursed: “Okay, okay, your Professor Shen is awesome, I can't afford to offend him.”
He rolled his eyes and walked back to his guard room, completely unaware that there was a transparent figure following behind him like a shadow, his footsteps almost in sync.
The guard pushed open the door. Wang Jixuan followed behind him and flashed into the room. When the guard closed the door, Wang Jixuan stood behind the door, looking at this spacious lounge filled with the smell of smoke and some kind of strange odor.
No one was watching the two rows of monitors at all.
Four psionics were playing mahjong there, their psionic ratings probably two C's and two D's.
There were also three women and two men in the corner. These five people had few clothes on their bodies, either sleeping or holding air bags and giggling constantly. They were all ordinary people, and they had collars around their necks, and there were some… tools that even Zheng Shiduo had never used next to them.
Wang Jixuan scratched his ear.
‘Immeasurable Heavenly Lord.’
‘There are so many perverts in this world.’
If he only had C-level ability now, it would be more than enough to deal with these four people. Talismans, spells, formations, and tools could all be used against the enemy.
Now he was a little stronger than the strongest of these four people. If he let the four of them make a little noise later, it would be his incompetence.
Wang Jixuan silently and quickly pinched a seal with his hands, and golden light bloomed in his eyes.
Great衍 Heart Sword!
A translucent great sword swept across the air!
The movements of the four psionic guards froze. First, their eyes were blank, then blood flowed from their seven orifices, and then each was pressed onto the table by a mass of aura.
‘No pressure at all.’
Wang Jixuan glanced at the five people over there and used his spiritual consciousness as a hammer to gently chisel on the heads of the five people.
The five people fainted at the same time, and would not wake up until at least a day and a night later.
Daoist Wang looked at the messy area, shook his head, pulled open the guard door and returned to the front hall of the branch, his spiritual consciousness had already determined the entire layout of the upper, middle and lower three floors of this branch.
There were also seven or eight guard rooms in various places, with a total of thirty psionics stationed here, the strongest of whom was a B-class psionic.
Their entertainment activities were very rich, without concealing their burning desire.
For safety's sake, Wang Jixuan went into each guard room and斩灭 twenty-nine dirty souls.
The remaining B-class psionic was more special, and should be the 'Professor Shen' that the two interns at the front desk were talking about.
That was a woman who looked no more than twenty-seven or eight years old, wearing a hazmat suit…
Performing surgery on a刃兽?
After Wang Jixuan finished dealing with these psionic guards, Fu Jian's greeting came from the headset:
“Next floor, come to this warehouse. There really are psionic mechs.”
“Coming,” Wang Jixuan simply agreed, strolling through the laboratories, and saw various subject groups and project groups.
There were still quite a few researchers here.
Although those psionic guards were a little perverted, most of the research staff were still normal. Wang Jixuan had been looking with his spiritual consciousness for so long, and he only found an old woman who was subduing her female students after work, doing some false dragon and phoenix things.
Daoist Wang was already used to this and his Dao heart was not disturbed in the slightest.
When he arrived at the warehouse that Fu Jian said, pushed open the half-closed door, he immediately saw a group of autonomous guards who had just been activated.
唰唰! These autonomous guards saluted at the same time.
The air fluctuated, Fu Jian removed the holographic camouflage, and greeted Wang Jixuan:
“Come here… these guards have had their programs overwritten by me, and now they listen to us. Let them blow this place up later.
“These are the psionic mechs you're talking about?”
On the west side of the warehouse, a dozen three-meter-high black mechs were lying on the ground, with several trailers next to them.
“Yeah, it's them. The mechs are made of the hardest shells of General-level刃兽, and there should be psionic cultivator technology inside.”
Wang Jixuan appeared wearing X armor, the silver-white hand armor pressed on the leg of the black mech, closing his eyes to sense it.
He attracted wisps of spiritual energy into the black mech, and the shells of these mechs were instantly lit up, with symbols similar to ‘tadpole text’ appearing on them.
These symbols reflected each other, and the spiritual energy in the air quickly gathered towards it.
Two doors opened on the mech's chest to abdomen, inside was a simple cockpit, only enough for one person to squat in.
After the pilot climbed in, they would stretch their hands and feet into the holes in the mech's limbs, like putting on clothes.
This is a common structure for three-meter-level mechs.
Fu Jian praised: “The Psionic Capital really has done a lot of things behind our backs. These symbols are similar to the symbols on Huo Rong's body.”
“Not the same, not even similar.”
Wang Jixuan simply said:
“The creator of this mecha is imitating something. After spirit energy, or rather, spirit power, enters this mecha from the air, it only gathers on the surface and cannot penetrate inside.
“The interior of the mecha is still designed with conventional ideas.”
“I speculate that these symbols on the surface are something they learned and are trying to combine with the mecha.”
Fu Jian said, “If that's the case, it means the three spiritual cultivators controlled by the Sixth Elder didn't give them all the technology.”
“It's not certain who controls whom.”
Wang Ji Xuan clicked his tongue, “Can we take them back later? These dozen or so mechas are quite good. I can continue to modify them based on their foundation.”
Fu Jian thought carefully for a moment, “It's difficult to take them all, but taking two or three shouldn't be a problem. The rest can be blown up.”
“You arrange it. Copying is possible as long as one is brought back.”
“This is for you.”
Fu Jian opened a small refrigerator in his chest and took out a simple data device: “Go collect some data. There's a lot of cutting-edge research here. It's considered an important base for the Thirteenth Research Institute and the ruling faction. We can be considered to have stumbled upon it by luck.”
“I don't particularly like that analogy,” Wang Ji Xuan joked, “I had a feeling before the operation that this would be a great harvest.”
“Hurry up and get to work. The two teams are about to make their move.”
Fu Jian's voice was somewhat cold: “Take the research results and data, and kill all the research team.”
“You do that. I rarely kill.”
Wang Ji Xuan, turning to leave, waved the controller in his hand.
Fu Jian shook his head and began to copy and paste some instructions into the autonomous sentries, ordering them to come and act as laborers.
The Taoist Priest had only taken two steps…
Boom!
The entire Iron Wall Fortress was shaking.
The cliffside airport raid began!
Peony led the maid corps, rapidly clearing the spirit energy users and ordinary troops at the airport.
S-class spirit energy user Philley let out a loud shout, and hundreds of mid-level spirit energy users were alarmed, scrambling to prepare to meet the enemy.
The entire outer city fell into chaos.
The peak maid corps successfully seized the armory, carrying heavy firepower and charging forward.
Just when everyone thought the enemies were coming from the cliff, intense mental shocks erupted continuously at the checkpoint on the inner side of the outer city. Hundreds of soldiers fell into a deep coma, and the Buddha Hall squad quickly rushed towards Philley's residence.
Internal and external synchronization, a breakthrough and merge!
Wang Ji Xuan observed the fierce battle with his spirit sense, gave a thumbs up in his heart, and began to think about the reprimands he would give them later.
Praising students? Impossible.
Wang Ji Xuan continued to stroll through the various laboratories, and wherever he passed, ordinary people were stunned by his spirit sense.
He placed the small data device that Fu Jian gave him on the mainframes everywhere, and it could copy all the data inside in a dozen seconds.
Explosions occurred one after another, becoming more and more frequent.
The two teams had not encountered a single worthy opponent for the time being. The only thing that could delay their advance was some thick闸门that could be successfully lowered.
With Ji Yale in the Buddha Hall squad, he could control the ordinary soldiers on the inner side to open the doors for them;
The peak maid corps was even simpler.
Any loyal僚机R99 could be dragged out and have the electronic warfare capabilities to crush this fortress. Wherever there were electronic instruments, they could repair, operate, and even redesign a set of programs.
The Thirteenth Research Institute's branch was quiet, and everyone was having a very good sleep.
Wang Ji Xuan quickly wandered to the lowest level of the branch, which was also the most secret laboratory.
A surgery was still in progress here.
The surgeon was the B-class spirit energy user 'Professor Shen'. Her body was wrapped in a hazmat suit, and she was cutting something on a 'Preacher' Bladebeast with her head down.
The 'Preacher' Bladebeast was already in a near-death state.
The assistants on the operating table were all panicking at this moment.
“Professor Shen, there's an attack outside.”
“Mm.”
“Professor, aren't we leaving?”
“Finish the surgery, the sensor.”
The person next to her handed a black box to the young professor. Professor Shen frowned tightly, her hands moving very steadily, slowly placing the sensor into the 'neck' of the Preacher Bladebeast, embedding it in a pre-installed base.
She did this action extremely carefully, obviously not wanting the Bladebeast to really die.
The Preacher Bladebeast's mouthparts slowly opened and closed, making a 'glug-glug' sound from within.
The door of the laboratory was already open. Wang Ji Xuan, who had activated his invisibility, tilted his head and sized it up, the Dayan Heart Sword gathering momentum… to strike…
“Can you wait a moment?”
Professor Shen said without turning her head: “I'll finish this experiment first. This sample is extremely precious.”
The assistants were puzzled.
Wang Ji Xuan was slightly surprised. Why was his starting stance exposed? Could it be that this guy also had the ability to probe?
This Professor Shen's psychological quality is quite good.
Wang Ji Xuan wasn't in a hurry either. He looked around, took the data device, and went to collect the data here.
With Fu Jian holding the line, he was calm and composed.
His spirit sense flickered slightly. A piercing shriek suddenly came from above. The S-class spirit energy user Philley had encountered his maid corps.
Before Wang Ji Xuan could take another look, Professor Shen beside the operating table breathed a sigh of relief, signaling the assistant to turn on the instrument. The instrument pressed on the Bladebeast's wound, and the wound began to heal slowly.
Afterwards, this Professor Shen turned to look at Wang Ji Xuan's location, stepped off the operating table, took off her gloves, revealing a pair of fair, somewhat sickly hands.
She took off the hood of the hazmat suit, revealing a delicate, palm-sized face, and calmly stared at Wang Ji Xuan.
“X armor… Did Fu Jian, that old thief, send you? A battle mecha or a battle base?”
Wang Ji Xuan removed the holographic disguise, his expression behind the helmet visor somewhat solemn.
For no other reason than that strange and powerful spirit energy fluctuations appeared on this female professor's body. Cyan tadpole symbols flickered on her face and neck.
An aura similar to fire fusion appeared outside her body…
The mottled aura within her body suddenly increased, a notch stronger than an A-class spirit energy user, very close to the threshold of S-class.
Obviously, this Professor Shen is an awakened, A+ level spirit energy user!
