Chapter 526 - Exposed?
Chapter 526: Exposed?
At the edge of the balcony of Emperor Suite number one of Star Galaxy Hotel, Feng Luo who had quickly changed into gear asked, “Cat? Where is the NPC?”
Digital Cat answered through the Special Agent Comms Channel, “He has already entered the VIP access route of Emperor Suite number two, target confirmed. I’ve cut off the sensory alarm system of the opposite suite. I’ve also gained full control of the access route. I will completely seal the route after he enters. However, the commotion caused by the battle will definitely attract the attention of the hotel security guards down below. The entrance is bound to have an emergency manual system override, so you guys will have to move swiftly. According to my calculations, you guys should theoretically need one minute at most.”
“Heh! One minute is more than enough.” Big Pineapple was already in his full set of alloy armor. He was grinning as he extended his hand, showing the Intelligent Small Traction Anchor of the special agent wristwatch.
“Listen to my command. We’ll move together.” Feng Luo instructed and his vision had already switched to that of the Elite Grade Scout Beetle.
Inside Emperor Suite number two, Young Master Xing and his group had also received news that the target was coming. At that moment, each of them had an excited look on their face.
After all, executing a mission deep inside the enemy’s camp was still an incredibly exciting thing to do.
Young Master Xing, who had control to access the suite, had already opened the innermost door of the passage. A few seconds later, a middle-aged NPC carrying a suitcase and wearing a pair of sunglasses walked over.
However, the middle-aged NPC’s behavior seemed a bit odd. The face under the sunglasses glanced left and right before suddenly whispering something to Young Master Xing and his group.
He whispered lightly and due to the distance, the Scout Beetle was unable to listen clearly.
However, the originally excited faces of the rebel army camp players instantly stiffened after they heard the NPC’s words.
“Somethings wrong. We move now.” Just as the faces of the group stiffened, Feng Luo’s gaze also changed.
He gave a command firmly and at the same time… “Whoosh!” The Special Agent wristwatch had shot out an intelligent traction anchor like a bullet to the opposite side.
The middle-aged NPC spoke so softly that even the Scout Beetle was unable to hear anything clearly. However, one should not forget that apart from listening, Feng Luo could also see directly.
From their lip movements, Feng Luo read that… “You’ve already been discovered by the enemies, prepare for battle immediately.”
Feng Luo’s group had been discovered.
The situation was quite unexpected to Feng Luo. Although their operation and movement were not all that tightly controlled, they should not have had any major oversight.
However, the NPC said that the moment he entered through the door, which meant that he might have already gained the intel and knew that they were going to operate on that day.
Faced with the sudden turn of events, Feng Luo still managed to come to a decision almost instantaneously.
Execute the mission, and continue as planned.
As long as they were strong enough, switching from a stealthier covert mission to a forceful battle would mean nothing.
“Boom!”
Feng Luo leaped over a dozen meters and reached the top of Emperor Suite number two with the help of the alloy traction line.
Covered in a layer of dark energy, his enlarged right hand wielding the military knife, Ghost Weep, swung the sharp blade downward at the glass in front of his body.
“Ka!”
Combined with his increased power from the skill Ghost Power and the B-Grade Destruction Coefficient of Ghost Weep easily cut through the glass of the emperor suite without creating any cracks on the bulletproof glass made from high-grade materials.
“F*ck! There really is someone above!”
“Hurry up! Get your gears!”
With the sunglasses-wearing target NPC’s reminder, the Rebel Army Camp players inside the room reacted quickly.
They shouted one by one and each took out their gears from their inventories.
They were disguised as a group of NPCs when they infiltrated Storm City. To ensure authenticity, even when they were inside the suite, they had not equipped their items. As such, they were quite panicky at that moment.
“F*ck!”
“What the hell is going on? Why did it suddenly become dark?”
At that moment, another incident that threw things into further chaos occurred.
The initially bright Emperor Suite number two suddenly turned dark, becoming pitch-black, without even a sliver of light.
“Sister Cat, good job!” At that moment, Phoenix had jumped to Feng Luo’s side with the help of the traction line. She praised Digital Cat through the comms channel.
Although the Emperor Suite did not have any surveillance or eavesdropping devices and Digital Cat was not able to check the movements and behaviors of the people within, even though she had already infiltrated the system, she was still able to manipulate the intelligent system of the room.
The high-tech environment simulation system of the Emperor Suite was something that could simulate perfectly realistic environments.
When it was pitch-black, it really was pitch-black with absolutely no light. Without light, getting the correct item out of one’s inventory was not an easy feat.
“Cat, provide a bit of light, but not too much!” Feng Luo shouted into the comms channel two seconds later. He had already forcefully created a large hole on the glass and entered the room.
“Star Galaxy environment simulation initiate.” An intelligent system female voice inside the Emperor Suite echoed a message and instantly after the statement, the environment within the players’ field of view changed instantly.
In the dark, countless bright stars flashed on top of the room, projected a little bit of light into the room.
Now that there was light, Feng Luo’s enhanced vision due to his improved weapon and two enhancements from the Evolution Virus could fully observe the current environment.
The simulated environment created by Digital Cat was actually the deck of a large-scale abandoned spacecraft. At the moment, it was floating in the borderless sea of the universe.
“This is a decent battlefield.” Feng Luo thought that the environment simulation system was quite interesting. After all, they were supposedly fighting inside a room, but the feeling was that they were fighting among the stars.
“Boom!”
Just as Feng Luo landed, a fireball was flying towards him. A grimacing Rebel Army Manipulator’s energy converter was shining brightly.
He was not equipped with any armor on his body, and had only been able to take out his first weapon but he had already tried to attack Feng Luo’s group. He probably did that because he wanted to catch them by surprise.
As a Fire Manipulator, as long as he had a weapon, even if he had nothing else, his damage output was still something decent.
However, Feng Luo’s reaction was even more expected. Faced against the imminent fireball, he instinctively leaped backward and did not receive any damage at all.
Feng Luo did not have the intention to dodge. By the time the fireball reached Feng Luo’s chest, the fireball had already bounced and no damage had been inflicted.
Feng Luo’s SUV combat uniform had a translucent energy shield flashing continuously on its surface. Behind the shield were 12 thumb-sized Energy Beetles scattered all across the shield.
Over the past ten days, though Feng Luo could not go too far away from Storm City, he still made time to use 24K’s psionic energy to incubate eggs into soldier type beetles. In terms of long-range attacks, the shield beetles’ defense was definitely no weaker than manipulators’ energy shields.
“Pa, pa…”
As for the Fire Manipulator who only took out his weapon and had not even put up an energy shield surrounding himself before attacking Feng Luo’s group, he was only seeking death.
Onishi followed close behind Feng Luo into the suite. He shot two bullets from the Legendary Grade submachine gun in his hands at the Fire Manipulator.
“-2045, -103…”
In the simulated abandoned Star Galaxy spacecraft environment, a white light of death flashed.
