The small mechanical spider crawled along the corridor. It was fast, but it didn't bump into any railings or corners. This was a popular bionic toy, and it was also the favorite of the children in the orphanage.
Many people might think that it was ugly, but most children still thought that it was cute and sometimes cool. Especially when it was wandering in the dark, its six sensory eyes would flicker unpredictably. It could scare people to the point that they would jump in fright. Without a doubt, this was the favorite of those naughty kids.
The toy spider in the Santa Maria Charity Hall was only a basic version. Although the six sensory eyes could send and receive signals and identify directions and obstacles, so that they wouldn't be reduced to mere decorations, they didn't have imaging functions.
However, for some people, a simple stream of information was enough.
Two blocks away from the Santa Maria Charity Hall, the straight line distance was about 3.5 kilometers. Inside a high-rise office building, the lights were still on at ten o 'clock in the evening on the 75th floor, even though it was a weekend.
The relevant personnel were hurrying to set up the relevant equipment, and some people were already playing in front of the temporary workbench. "Come on, come on, give me a big signal; get out, get out, I'll shoot you in the face with Little Noise …"
The young black man in front of the workbench was wearing headphones. His body continued to move rhythmically, and he was completely immersed in self-entertainment. Nobody bothered him. On the one hand, this was his working state, and on the other hand, it was none of their business.
The light screen in front of the young black man was full of irregular red, green, and blue blocks, which were constantly piecing together and changing according to his rhythm. There seemed to be some pattern, but overall, it was still very blurry.
Ba Tu, the operations director of Putt Service Company, stood behind the young black man with a serious expression, but he was actually quite envious.
The "noise" in front of him was a very outstanding reconnaissance ability user. He could capture monotonous and fragmented signals and complete the outline of the scene. He could also carry out high-power active interference. Through specific amplification equipment, his range of influence could reach hundreds of kilometers away. He could be described as a human-shaped radar and electronic interference system.
Such talents were usually intercepted by the military early on, and so was "Noise." However, this guy had psychological problems. He claimed that he was big and couldn't control his crotch, so he should have been shot if he committed a crime in the military. However, he was taken out by a certain powerhouse and joined the powerhouse's team, continuing to cause trouble outside.
Tonight was a joint operation between Putt Service Company and that powerhouse team.
According to the accurate information obtained from both sides' channels, the current temporary resident of the Santa Maria Charity Hall, the girl named Rui Wen, already had a net worth as high as 16 billion. Moreover, it was a discount from the shares of the "Deep Blue World" joint project.
Whether the information was true or not, it would be up to his superiors to judge. As for how to interpret the value of the information, there was no need to go into detail. The most realistic situation was that every power would swarm over as the news spread. They must seize it as soon as possible. The branch in Xia City would also respond quickly.
It was hard to say what would happen next. But tonight, because Rui Wen had entered the secular world, she was placed in this charity hall. She was temporarily separated from the core protective network of the Xia City branch.
Without a doubt, this was their best and last chance.
Putt Service Company was a medium-sized assassination service provider. It couldn't be considered to be at the top of the industry. Noise's Metal Hunting Group was an Extraordinary's business, but there was still a considerable disparity when compared to the standards of the Xia City branch.
Even if both sides joined forces, they still didn't possess the strength to directly confront Ouyang Chen and Her Majesty Empress Wu, two Extraordinary. They could only catch them off guard by surprise.
Of course, they also needed to have sufficient methods of shifting the blame. Only then could they guarantee that they would be able to escape unscathed regardless of the mission's success or failure.
Ba Tu could roughly guess the insight of the powerhouse behind the Metal Hunting Group. Aside from the standard of strength, Putt Service Company was chosen because they had a ready-made network and team in Xia City. They also valued their mercenary channels that covered every major city in East Asia and the vagrant tribes of the wilderness. They also valued their super-class shifting skills.
It just so happened that Xia City had recently accepted several vagrant tribes. Dragons and snakes were mixed in them. There were a lot of desperadoes who were experts in their studies...
Just as Ba Tu was thinking about how to deal with the aftermath, someone walked into the workshop. The two meter tall and sturdy body was very conspicuous. It was like the sound of metal plates rubbing against each other. There was a powerful oppressive force. "You still haven't released the map?"
"Mr. Gang Xiong." Ba Tu greeted him. His gaze swept past the man's shoulder and neck structure, and he saw that Noise was jumping high and did not respond, so he said on his behalf, "It's raining now. The disturbance is probably not small."
The person who came was the third in command of the Metal Hunting Group, Throat Splitter Gang Xiong. He was a very famous veteran Architect and a B-rank powerhouse. Rumor has it that he once had a large part of his throat torn off, but he relied on his tenacious life force to survive. He only underwent a physical transformation. From then on, he liked to tear people's throats when he killed them. He received the fierce name of Throat Splitter.
After Gang Xiong entered the workshop, he took on the responsibility of commanding. He asked about the progress of the technical team. "How's the cracking going?"
"We still need around ten minutes. The security system of the charity hall is connected to the Santa Maria Church Hospital. It will be quite troublesome to hack in. Mr. Gang Xiong, we can take advantage of this time to have a brief tactical meeting... "
"Motherf * cker!"
"..." Ba Tu choked. Fortunately, he knew that Noise had made a breakthrough. This black bro threw off the monitoring headphones. He straightened his buttocks and screamed in excitement.
Noise was a scumbag, but his skills were top-notch. As he screamed, the meaningless color blocks on the screen quickly decreased. It was like a streaming video with an unstable signal. There were more lags and mosaics, but the basic outline of the video was already visible.
"Sand table." Gang Xiong signaled his assistant to do something.
Very soon, the digital sand table that had just been placed in the middle of the room displayed a panoramic 3D projection of the Santa Maria Charity Hall. It was a translucent grayish-white color. But a few seconds later, Noise was more or less settled. The relevant data was transferred to the sand table, and bright colors were smeared over it layer by layer. At the beginning, there were some mosaics, but it quickly became clear.
Especially in the special marked areas, a few human figures appeared. In the sand table projection, they were about the size of a finger, but their appearances were similar. The details were exquisite, and they were lifelike. They were the target of their target tonight.
The charity hall was quite generous to temporary guests. The individual room on the first floor of the residential area was located at the corner of the building. Because of the flower bed, it could be considered a relatively independent half-enclosed courtyard.
It was relatively quiet, and it was easy to make a move.
Noise was ecstatic. "Damned weather, damned weather, damned weather... I'll let you guys experience it."
The sand table projection was covered by a blurry curtain of rain as soon as he finished speaking. Ba Tu furrowed his brows, but didn't say anything. It wasn't bad to be able to restore the scene in a more complete manner. Through this curtain of rain, he could also see a few details. "In this freezing rain environment, low altitude drones can be eliminated. A large lump of ice will fall in less than a few minutes."
Gang Xiong was expressionless. He tapped the edge of the sand table with his finger. "What else?"
Ba Tu was stunned, and Noise began to laugh mischievously. At the same time, the blank area in the sky above the projection showed the avatars and simple information of the five targets.
"Professional bodyguards with ability, former military Deep Blue Walkers... and this, a humanoid infrasound array."
Every time Noise mentioned a person's characteristics, a circle of special colored areas lit up in the projection area. "Qin Yikun's sensing range is approximately 30 meters. Gaud's ability is a bit worse, approximately 20 meters. But you have to pay attention to the car parked beside the dormitory building. It is equipped with extremely sensitive sensing equipment. It is recommended that you don't use high-powered equipment within a two kilometer radius. Within a hundred meters, you can view him as a mental sensing expert."
Only now did Ba Tu know that Noise could actually capture information about the target's mental sensing range and reproduce it. It was truly inconceivable that his scouting ability could be displayed to such an extent.
Noise had long since gotten used to this job. "Of course, there's that youngster. Mm, let's do a zoom... Alright, we need to expand the range of the model. At least three kilometers. That shameless little fellow has a sensing radius of three kilometers! "
Ba Tu was stunned. "Radius or diameter?"
Noise chuckled. "Are your ears not good? I said it was a radius. Everyone's luck is pretty good. We're separated by two blocks and diverged by 500 meters. Otherwise, we would be carefully considering how to resolve the awkwardness. "
Resolve the awkwardness? It should be said that they were running for their lives!
While Ba Tu rejoiced, he still found it somewhat hard to believe. "A sensing range of three kilometers. Could that fellow be an Extraordinary?"
Noise ignored him and continued with his work. Next, dark scars hung down one after another in the projection area.
Gang Xiong was rather interested. "What is this?"
"I don't know. In any case, it's very irritating. Back when I was stuffed into the military prison and had my ass busted, it was more or less the same feeling. Just this information alone can be sold for a million or eight hundred thousand without a problem. If any of you dare leak it out, you'll be my enemy. "
Ba Tu's head was a bit swollen. "If it really is three kilometers, any frontal operation is meaningless..."
"Discussing this topic is really meaningless." Gang Xiong casually waved his hand, moving the three most threatening figures to one side and gathering the other two normal people in the middle. "If these five people are all staying at the charity hall tonight, there's practically nothing we can do apart from forcefully attacking. This is the worst-case scenario. I'll consider canceling this operation."
Ba Tu nodded. "I agree."
Gang Xiong sneered. "That's not very likely. The charity hall isn't a hotel, and our Pioneers aren't idiots..."
From Ba Tu's understanding, the so-called "pioneer" should be Quantum Holdings. According to the intelligence channels of the two partners, Luo Nan's group arriving at the Santa Maria Charity Hall had traces of Quantum Corporation's operations.
Perhaps the other side also wanted to "catch them off guard".
Gang Xiong didn't care. "We're only considering the latter scenario. This woman and her manager will leave. Maybe they'll give her a bodyguard. Maybe they won't. But no matter what, we're keeping an eye on her. "
"A diversion?"
"Don't speak nonsense." Gang Xiong swept his ice-cold gaze over. "You must have forgotten this..."
His finger pointed at the core position marked on the sand table. "Our target is this Rui Wen. She's also someone who dealt with Quantum Corporation's Deep Blue Walker squad. It's said that her close combat abilities are extremely strong. Do you want to verify it? "
Gang Xiong waved his hand without waiting for Ba Tu to respond. "If we really touch her, our plan will pretty much be finished."
"So?"
"So we're only considering her." Gang Xiong flicked his finger, forming fine ripples on the projected virtual interface. "It doesn't matter how many people leave. We only want her. Get rid of the bodyguard and send the manager's head back. Also, Noise, it's time for you to show off... We need to record an additional video. "
"Is it the kind I like the most?"
Noise's wide mouth opened, revealing white teeth and a purple tongue. Together with the light and shadow on the sand table, it formed a strange image. "Can I let loose and play? Steel, you can always get to where I itch the most. That woman's waist and legs are too great. She's definitely a good gun rack. I'll take good care of her. I'll just break her two arms... "
Gang Xiong didn't pay attention to Noise's wild imagination. He just zoomed in on the projected area again, making the map show a wider area to plan the subsequent route. "Putt Company's mercenaries will be useful after the attack begins. Stop them on the spot and delay the other side's rescue speed. It'll also give him time to watch the video. I hope you've made sufficient preparations. "
"We've prepared four teams, and we've also prepared a wonderful disturbance."
Ba Tu was quite confident in his profession, but right now he was a bit unsure. "But Mr. Gang Xiong, are you sure you want to make a move on that person's sister? If you mess up... "
"We're cooperating with your company because we like your operational abilities. We have a good target to frame, right? "
"That's right, but..."
"No buts. That young man himself is worth 16 billion, but he definitely shouldn't tie himself to the future power of this planet. He and his family don't have this right. "
Gang Xiong acted like a philosopher. His thick lips cracked open. "If he can survive, he might even be able to foil our operation tonight. But for a long period of time, he'll have to face similar situations. I hope he can make a choice in time. Otherwise, he'll definitely be running for his life until there's nothing left to look forward to!"
Ba Tu didn't say anything, but he made up his mind to apply for a transfer after this. Otherwise, he might end up as cannon fodder.
Gang Xiong concluded, "What he does in the future has nothing to do with me. I need opportunities and time."
"I just want long legs. F * ck, f * ck, f * ck, f * ck." Noise responded loudly, getting more and more agitated.
Gang Xiong still didn't care and continued planning the route. "Our retreat direction is the sea. The closest place is the south coast. We can also avoid the Lilan District in the northeast."
"Oh, Gang Xiong, hurry up and start. My crotch is about to explode." As he spoke, Noise actually began to loosen his belt. He completely disregarded the current situation. This fellow was a complete pervert.
"I won't cut your thing, but I can pull out your throat." Gang Xiong finally issued a warning.
Ba Tu let out a sigh of relief when he saw Gang Xiong restraining him. But he soon realized something. His expression quickly changed. "Go to the sea? That's not what we originally agreed on. "
"Yes. You want to enter the wilderness and use your outstanding ability to fish in troubled waters. And this is what we need. But if we head there directly, we need to traverse the entire city of Xia City. With the coverage of the Psychic Wave Network, I don't think we have this opportunity. "
"The sea is completely unobstructed!"
"We can first enter the sea and then circle around the defensive line of the coastal defense forces. We can land ashore and cut into the interior from Mozhong. Although we'll take a long detour, we'll be able to catch many people off guard. "
Gang Xiong moved the core of the projection back to the charity hall. "Before that, don't forget. Before we reach the sea, all we have are hostages and bargaining chips. The most important thing is how to get our hands on the target... Our boss is waiting in the open sea. "
"Uh, Mr. Jin Tong?" Ba Tu subconsciously felt a bit of reverence when he heard news of Extraordinaries.
Gang Xiong was even calmer. "Boss Jin is coming from the sea. Of course we have to go to the sea. Otherwise, do you really think that Ouyang Chen and the Martial Monarch are watchdogs and ant queens? You won't take them out of their nest? "
Ba Tu was stunned for a few seconds before saying, "Of course it's great to have Mr. Jin Tong holding the line. But I'll have to talk to the higher-ups about the direction. "
Gang Xiong waved his hand. "Do as you wish, but don't waste time."
Ba Tu walked out with a gloomy face. He heard Noise's clamor behind him. "How many times do you think I should fire? Seventy, eighty, or ninety times? You believe I can do it, right? "
"Shut up."
"No, no, no. You can't handle my enthusiasm. Ugh!"
A muffled explosion seemed to ring out in the room. The voice came to a screeching halt. Ba Tu rejoiced that Gang Xiong had finally taken precautions. When he closed the door, he turned his head to look, but he saw Noise's mouth open. Noise's hands were hanging down, and the waistband of his pants fell to the ground, revealing the toy inside. It was truly an eyesore.
But the important thing now was that dark red liquid was surging out of Noise's mouth. His eyes, nostrils, and ears were all the same.
"Enemy attack … long-range sniper!" This was Ba Tu's first reaction. He instantly fell to the ground, and at the same time, he exerted force in his legs and moved backwards. He even pulled the door and closed it, blocking the sniper's line of sight.
His reaction could not be said to be slow. But at this moment, blazing red light shot out, filling the room in an instant, blasting the closed outer door into pieces.
Ba Tu also saw that the color of the projection area was already completely covered in blood red, and the corresponding outline was rapidly becoming blurry. But in that patch of blood red light, there was clearly a shadow that looked like a mix of a spider and a human. It was ugly and malevolent, as if a nightmare had leapt into reality.
Facing this demonic shadow, Ba Tu actually did not know whether the red light came from the projection or from the void. He only saw Gang Xiong take a defensive stance. His body shone with a metallic luster as he roared and retreated.
At this moment, Ba Tu had already smashed open the door of the opposite room and slid in. But in just a hundredth of a second, the red light had already covered him.
The most terrible thing was that the energy of this red light did not rush outwards, but was pulling in the opposite direction. It was like an invisible whirlpool, forcefully pulling Ba Tu's body towards the area where the blood red light was the thickest.
That center might be the fatal Gates of Hell.
"Ahhhhh …" Ba Tu desperately stretched out his hand, wanting to grab the door frame of the opposite room. But the moment his fingers touched the frame, the suction suddenly disappeared. He slammed onto the ground, his head dizzy and his legs weak.
He subconsciously turned around to take a look. The destruction of the equipment in the room was expected, but the destructive power was not as great as he had imagined. In front of the sand table, Gang Xiong stood with his back facing the door. He did not move, but his body seemed to be trembling non-stop.
"Mister Gang Xiong?"
Ba Tu asked in a probing manner. Before he finished speaking, he saw Gang Xiong's enormous body instantly bend and twist. His muscles and bones shrunk into a ball amidst the fine tearing sounds. Then, it suddenly stretched, collapsed, and shattered!
The same fate also included those operatives on the ground.
An invisible force field covered the entire room, leading everything, but Ba Tu would rather believe that it was a demonic plate of flesh and blood that came from Hell!
The tearing sound that made one's teeth ache finally turned into a muffled explosion. Blood fog filled the room, and in front of the wantonly smeared colors, Ba Tu's mind was blank.
But in his wide open eyes, a figure was reflected. The blood fog that enveloped his body gradually became clear.
"Gang Xiong?" He knew he called the wrong name without saying it, but Ba Tu still could not help it.
Where the blood fog gathered, that person turned around. This was a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance. Compared to the human-shaped giant bear Gang Xiong, he was much thinner, but his body was also very strong.
He was naked, not wearing a single thread of clothing. His eyes swept across the room, and finally fixed on Ba Tu.
Ba Tu swore that he had never seen such a cold and empty gaze. Those eyes seemed to be filled with countless layers of black fog, and he could never see them clearly … but why did he feel that they were so familiar?
