"Give up resistance and hand over all core data, especially... Ethan Kyle's belongings." The tall agent's voice came through the mask's voice changer, cold and flat, like a machine reading out a verdict. "This is your only chance to survive."
"Dream on!" Leah spat, her voice trembling slightly with pain and anger, but her hand holding the cutter was as steady as a rock. "There are no traitors in the Deep One! Don't even think about getting your hands on Ethan's things!"
"Stubborn." The tall agent seemed to have lost his patience. The cold energy from the muzzle began to gather steadily, and the trident-shaped tip lit up with a dazzling white light. "Clear."
Just as he was about to pull the trigger, I moved!
There was no roar, no warning. His body, like a spring compressed to its limit, stomped violently on the slippery ground! His target wasn't the armed agent leader, but an overturned metal workbench on the ground in front of him! On that workbench lay a bundle of composite energy transmission cables, as thick as a baby's arm, used to connect to a large server!
[Command: Target - Scattered Energy Cable (Connector Status: Exposed/High Energy). Injection Logic: Simulate Emergency Overload Protocol (Phase: Reverse).]
The Data Heart roared once more! A surge of icy, controlling power surged forth! His thoughts, like invisible lightning, precisely penetrated the physical interface of the bundle of exposed cables and the chaotic energy flow within!
Swish——!
A tooth-aching, crackling sound of electricity, like the simultaneous hissing of thousands of venomous snakes, suddenly erupted! The thick bundle of composite cables, as if imbued with a frenzied life, suddenly leaped from the ground! Countless dazzling, blue-white arcs of high voltage, like dancing lightning snakes, blazed wildly from the broken and damaged parts of the cables! Instantly, a deadly electric grid formed, covering several meters!
The first to bear the brunt were the tall agent leader and one of his men on the flank!
"Ahhh!" The scream barely escaped before it was drowned out by the intense buzzing of electricity! The agent leader's body felt like it had been struck by an invisible giant hammer, twitching violently and falling backward! His matte combat uniform instantly charred and smoked, and the trident energy gun in his hand flew out of his hand! Another flanking agent was also swept halfway by the violent arc of electricity, screaming and rolling on the ground!
This sudden electric shock, like a punishment from heaven, instantly broke the balance!
"Boss!" "Yes, the boss!"
The team members leaning against the wall burst into exclamations of having survived! The suppressed momentum was instantly reversed!
Leah's reaction was astonishingly fast! The moment the tall agent was knocked back, a fierce gleam flashed in her eyes, and she leaped out from behind the server cabinet like a cheetah! Ignoring the fallen enemy, the high-frequency cutter in her hand let out a piercing scream, and with unstoppable momentum, she lunged straight at the third agent, who was stunned by the sudden change!
The agent hastily raised his gun, but Leah was even faster! The cutter's blade flashed with a deadly blue light, and like a hot knife through butter, it precisely cut through the opponent's wrist before he could fully raise it!
"Ah!" A shrill scream accompanied by the half-severed hand and the energy pistol flew up! Blood splattered!
At the same time, roars and sounds of fighting emanated from the doorway! Wrench and Hook, having apparently resolved the situation outside, rushed in, drenched in wounds and bruises, pouncing like a tiger descending from a mountain onto the remaining Enterprise agents, who had been thrown into disarray by the sudden changes.
The battle instantly devolved into a fierce melee! The whistling of energy beams, the clashing of metal, the groans of the wounded, the roars of anger... all kinds of sounds mixed together and echoed in the small space.
I didn't join the fray. My gaze, like lightning, instantly locked onto the towering agent leader, scorched and smoking from the high-voltage arc, struggling to get up. He's the boss! We must catch him!
I moved through the chaotic battle like a ghost, reaching him in a few steps. He struggled to raise his head, the window of his mask shattered, revealing a pair of bloodshot eyes pierced with pain and disbelief. He stared at me intently, a hoarse, bellows-like sound emanating from his throat: "What...what did you do? That wire...cable..."
I didn't answer, nor did I give him any chance. With a tremendous force, I stomped my right foot hard on his right wrist, which was trying to reach for the spare weapon at his waist!
Snap!
A clear sound of bone cracking rang out, accompanied by a scream that was forcibly suppressed deep in the throat!
I leaned over, my cold gaze piercing through the wet streaks of rainwater, piercing his tormented eyes like a knife. My left hand gripped his good left wrist like a vise, and my right, like lightning, reached for the inside of his tactical collar at the back of his neck—that's where a micro-tracking beacon or emergency self-destruct device is usually implanted!
"Tell me! Who sent you? Where is 'Raven'?" My voice was extremely low, but it carried a chill that could freeze the soul. Every word was like an ice-hardened dagger, piercing into the other person's consciousness.
The agent leader stared at me with bloodshot eyes, his face twisted in agony, but deep within them flickered a trace of utter fear and... a deeper madness. His throat gurgled, but a strange, blood-frothing grin stretched across his lips. "Ha... ha... you... you saw... you could actually... see the Oasis?... Lord Raven... won't... let it go..."
His words came to an abrupt halt! His body suddenly convulsed violently! His eyes rolled back instantly! A pungent smell of almonds mixed with a burnt smell suddenly emanated from his mouth, nose, and the back of his neck where I was groping!
