Sky-cracking Rider

Chapter 472 Section 468 - This is Hell

```

"Warning! Earthquake has caused a dangerous virus leak, underground floors are temporarily sealed for disinfection. Please stay where you are and do not leave! Warning!..."

"Captain" used the closed-circuit loudspeakers distributed in various corners of the underground space to repeatedly broadcast this message, conveniently covering up the noise caused by Squad 04.

Such a tactic of information warfare was something that an artificial intelligence AI like "Adam" would never think of, let alone the derivative AIs of "Cybertron."

People in the underground space who noticed abnormal noises originally planned to break out of their enclosures, but after hearing the announcement, they believed it to be true and stopped their destructive actions one after another.

The only exception was the underground space's monitoring room, where some were frantically smashing the door, some were yelling into the microphone with all their might, and others were furiously pressing keyboards and various buttons. But no matter what they did, all their efforts ultimately proved to be futile.

The higher the level of automation, the easier it was to be manipulated and deceived; the monitoring room became their prison.

"Well done, 'Captain'!"

Adrian almost gave the other party a thumbs up.

This move was a huge help.

They could eliminate those threats more confidently and boldly.

The Holy Knights of Team Two and the A-Class Metal Ability User Kiterley reunited with Adrian's Team One, once again boosting combat efficiency.

A few minutes later.

"Underground second floor, cleared!"

Looking down on the three-dimensional modeled reality map from a God's eye view, Chen Fei couldn't help but criticize the progress of Squad 04 in the underground space and the foolish reactions of the sitting ducks.

"Isn't this too easy?"@@@@

With the right tactics, what was supposed to be a tough fight had become easy.

If it hadn't been for consideration for the mounts of the Holy Knights, they could have just seized control of the ventilation system and pumped in anesthetic or even nerve gas. Within a short time, the entire eighteen underground floors would either offer no resistance or become a dead zone.

Adrian and his team had considered such treacherous methods; however, from the information collected by Squad 04, they didn't know enough about the ventilation system of the Biochemical Research Center. If there were independent filtration modules and composition detection modules in the ventilation pipes, such actions might backfire.

"Sixteen more floors to go, don't let your guard down!"

Even though they were making smooth progress, Squad 04's captain, a First Rank Fire Mage Adrian, didn't dare to be careless.

With even a small misstep, it was entirely possible for all those who had entered the underground space to be wiped out.

At this moment, the handy firearms were discarded on the fly, replaced by each person's most familiar combat skills, special abilities, magic, and Battle Qi. As soon as they encountered an enemy, they didn't hesitate to take down their opponents with the fiercest tactics, stopping at nothing; concepts such as martial morality and Jianghu rules were all thrown aside.

"Underground third floor, cleared!"

"Underground fourth floor, cleared!"

"Underground fifth floor, cleared!"

Beep!~

When they penetrated to the underground sixth floor and were preparing to prioritize the retrieval of the Holy Knights' mounts, an unexpected independent alarm system was triggered.

The alarm sound not only blared loudly throughout the eighteen underground floors, but also rang out across the entire plant area.

Angela Pharmaceutical Company had not designed their underground facility without any preparation.

"There must be an EMP here!"

The shrill alarm from the distant plant facility made Chen Fei on top of the Mobile Base Vehicle feel regret.

With a slight wave of his hand, the ready railgun beside him flickered with electric light. A 152 mm projectile, hurtling at subsonic speeds, plunged into the brightly lit plant area.

"No, a photon pulse bomb would be better!"

"Captain" added.

No sooner had his voice fallen than a giant fireball rose on the fringe of the Angela Pharmaceutical Company's plant area, sending countless sparks flying everywhere.

It seemed that the help the "Captain" had hinted at was likely to be the ammunition or missiles summoned by the "Summoner." The Psychokinesis Skill of an S-rank Psychic Ability User was enough to deliver heavy explosives with pinpoint accuracy from a kilometer away, without even a millimeter of error.

"Wait, it's a Magic Array, where did you get that Magic Array from?"

"Captain" lost his composure and exclaimed in surprise.

This kind of technology really shouldn't have fallen into civilian hands, nor were private military contractors likely to have acquired it—especially a defensive magic array that was now enveloping Chen Fei, along with the vehicle, in its protection. It was utterly unfair.

"If I said I found it, would you believe me?"

Chen Fei earnestly spoke the blatant truth.

There were indeed places where one could pick up samples of Magic Arrays, but those places were generally inaccessible to ordinary people.

"I don't believe a damn thing!" ×2

The overlapped voices were clear again.

This time it was indeed the voice of the Sovereign Squad's S-rank Psychic Ability User "Summoner."

If Team 04 failed to deal with Angela Pharmaceutical Company this time, Sovereignty would intervene once again.

Chen Fei gestured towards the position of the internal combustion engine generator and said nonchalantly, "Aim, fire!"

He wasn't a professional gunner, but being a few dozen meters off wasn't a problem for him.

With a clang, an exceptionally bright flame rose up, the Demolition Bomb igniting the stored fuel or liquefied natural gas, almost lighting up the entire sky, making it as bright as day within the factory area.

"Chen Fei, how are things on your end?"

Adrian's voice came through once again.

Chen Fei had blown up the backup power system in the factory, but the Biochemical Research Center had its own separate backup power system. Once the external electricity was lost, it began to operate on its own, and the wireless transceivers regained communication functionality.

"Everything's normal. How about you?"

Thanks to Team 04's main force clearing most of the Ability Users inside the factory, Chen Fei only had to deal with the equivalent of a couple of kittens. With one shot from the 152, the confrontation was over.

Gunshots sounded from the Biochemical Research Center. Just the Constructed Puppet Warriors summoned by Puppet Master Joshua were enough to handle the situation, not to mention Old Joe had craftily buried over a dozen Constructed Puppet Warriors outside. Using both internal and external forces, they struck from behind, making life rather difficult for their opponents.

If the battle had taken place during the day, it certainly wouldn't have been this easy.

The Mobile Base Vehicle began advancing towards the factory complex.

"We've found the Holy Knight's Blue Scaled Colt!"

Adrian looked on with a sigh as the tearful Holy Knight hugged his mount, the partner he had found. Team 04 had successfully cleared the sixth underground level and located the Green Scale Colt Mini, following the map.

The Metallic Second Rank Magical Beast nuzzled Walter Sam with its large head, with similarly tearful reddened eyes. It pawed at the ground and kept making affectionate neighs.

It bore many wounds on its body, having clearly suffered a lot these past days, never succumbing or being tamed, always resisting.

"Mini, be good. I'll get revenge for you. I won't let anyone off," said the Holy Knight as he patted the Blue Scaled Colt's head and cast a Light Healing Technique on it.

"Huff! Huff! Huff!"

The Green Scale Colt Mini responded, panting heavily.

The Holy Knight turned to Adrian, who was still in communication with Chen Fei, and said, "Adrian, we carry on..."

The Wind Second Rank Magical Beast Blue Scaled Colt shook its large head, suddenly opened its fang-filled mouth wide, its grin reaching all the way to its neck.

Once!

Twice!

The next second, the Holy Knight's upper body was gone, leaving only two legs from the waist down.
