Chapter 539 Something Big Happened
Under the leadership of Baili Qing, Yu Sheng and Irene boarded a giant "elevator" that they had never seen before - the "car" of the elevator was almost a spacious hall, and its entrance was located in a mural hanging in the corridor near the director's office.
After entering the elevator, Yu Sheng discovered that there were even twelve extremely wide doors distributed around this outrageous cabin, and inside the cabin were dozens of Secret Service soldiers wearing light armor and several deep-sea divers wearing heavy power armor - all were fully armed, and each deep-sea diver was even followed by two walking tactical robots.
As Luo entered the elevator, she became visibly nervous. Her mechanical limbs retracted into her body, and the wheeled feet in her lower body turned into legs. She even tried to lower her head to reduce her presence, as if she wanted to find a place to hide - but there were only a group of mass-produced Irenes who were 66.6cm tall around her. She was 1.7 meters tall with blonde hair and a silver skirt, standing out among the dolls...she stood out among the flock.
"You're being a bit embarrassing," Irene said bluntly, looking up at the awkward "Black Spot Warlord." "You're the villain boss after all!"
"I'm a scientist! Not a combatant!" Luo immediately explained hurriedly, then lowered his voice halfway through, "And who said I'm a villain? In my opinion, you guys are the ones who are more wrong..."
"But that expressionless face said you were a 'black spot warlord,'" Irene continued confidently, looking up. "You sound like a bad guy."
"What's the name 'Black Spot Warlord'? That's just a random name given to us by the barbarians outside," Luo frowned. "Within the Black Spot Group, there are strict job titles and responsibilities. I'm first and foremost an S-level scientist and engineer, and secondly, a regional director. I also have..."
"Quiet down," Baili Qing suddenly interrupted the blonde elf's chatter, "You're usually very frugal with your words when you contact me."
"Who told you to tie me up..." Luo started unconsciously, but then shrugged, "Okay, I won't say anything more."
The entire "hall" shook slightly.
The faint sound of gunfire could be heard from outside one of the nearby doors.
Everyone's expression instantly became serious. The fully armed Secret Service soldiers and divers immediately gripped their weapons and stood ready near the elevator door.
After a moment's delay, the door slowly opened.
The sound of gunfire outside suddenly became much clearer, but it still sounded like it was a bit far away.
"Walkers move forward." A deep diver said in a deep voice, and several walking robots equipped with high-power shield devices immediately left the elevator first and stepped into the corridor outside. Then the other soldiers moved quickly under the cover of the walker shields and moved out of the elevator.
Yu Sheng heard a few suppressed exclamations.
He followed the Secret Service soldiers out and looked at the situation outside in some surprise.
An extremely wide, dim, and chaotic space came into view—the corridor stretched out crookedly, and the walls on both sides and the roof above seemed to be blown apart and in a fragmented state. The torn fragments floated as if they had lost gravity, and beyond its boundaries were rooms, corridors, and halls with a style completely different from that of the Secret Service building. There was also a huge building structure floating like a phantom at a distant intersection, and the criss-crossing phantoms moved slowly at those intersecting positions. Structures continued to materialize, and solid structures continued to fade and dissipate like shadows.
"I guess your customs floor didn't originally look like this," he hesitated and glanced back at Baili Qing behind him, "Doesn't this office condition have a bit of a subspace vibe to it..."
Baili Qing didn't say anything for a while, just looked into the distance with a gloomy face.
Between the broken and floating corridor structures, the first group of Secret Service soldiers were engaging distant enemies behind makeshift fire points. The flashes from their guns illuminated the strange darkness around them, and lines of fire intertwined into a web in this broken space, intercepting the phantom-like enemies that kept emerging from the "intersection".
Immediately afterwards, Baili Qing and Yu Sheng, who was also looking up into the distance, opened their eyes wide at the same time.
They saw that another force was fighting in the broken area in front of the corridor, fighting against the enemies coming out from the intersection together with the surrounding Secret Service soldiers - although there was smoke and dim lighting over there, Yu Sheng could still tell at a glance that it was the security force of the Black Spot Group!
There was no way, the equipment looked too familiar to him, after all, they were close friends.
"Hey, hey! Your soldiers are fighting alongside those little black soldiers!" Irene also jumped up immediately, raised her hand and pointed at the distance, turned her head and shouted to Baili Qing, "They're colluding with each other, they're colluding with each other!"
Baili Qing ignored the jumping little puppet and walked forward quickly. Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment behind her and quickly followed.
On the way, he found that he was not mistaken - there were indeed several Black Spot combat teams fighting with the Secret Service soldiers in the distance. Although it seemed that they had not reached the level of "fighting side by side" and there was not much coordination and tacit understanding between them, at least their guns were pointing in the same direction, fighting against the same enemy.
"What's going on?" Baili Qing quickly came to a bunker and asked an operator on the scene, "What's going on with these black spot troops?"
"Captain!" The soldier being questioned was startled to see the Chief himself there, but he quickly reacted and saluted. "We don't know what's going on either. The entire floor just experienced a space-time disintegration, and then those Algraders ran out of the spatial rift. We fired a few shots, but they shouted things like 'For the sake of being humanoids,' and 'They're coming!' Then they turned their guns on the things that followed them out of the rift..."
As he spoke, another explosion roared in the distance, this time mixed with the piercing whistling of plasma balls. The deep-sea diving team that came to support him later used heavy firepower. The plasma shoulder cannons that required heavy power armor to operate fired in succession, projecting balls of dazzling blue light onto the hazy and intersecting "intersection" area at the end of the corridor.
The heat wave was steaming, and a group of twisted and strange creatures that seemed to be a fusion of humans and various deformed creatures were instantly enveloped by the spreading plasma cloud and evaporated completely.
But the intersection only shook a little, and as more strange spatial structures unfolded on the floor, more strange things rushed out of the crack again.
A series of heavy footsteps came from behind, and the support troops from other floors arrived at the scene. Yu Sheng heard a familiar voice coming from nearby:
"Oh my god! I finally got two days off!"
"Boss, stop talking, meow, the director is next to you..."
Yu Sheng turned his head and saw Xu Jiali, who was setting up a walking tactical robot and wearing power armor, and the cat-headed girl following beside her.
"Don't worry about me, just carry out the combat mission." Baili Qing glanced at the support troops with her pale grey eyes and nodded slightly. "The technical department is trying to close the spatial rift on this floor. They need time to analyze the fluctuation patterns of the rift. Buy them some time."
"yes!"
"We have to figure out what's going on on the other side," Yu Sheng frowned as he looked at the strange enemies that kept running out of the intersection. "Those black spot soldiers must know something."
Baili Qing glanced at Luo, then turned and instructed the nearby combat team: "Send the few Algraders closest to the left front over."
A black spot combat team that was using cover to shoot at the opposite side quickly retreated from the front - they looked a little confused and nervous. After all, they were now in the Secret Service territory, and judging from the situation, these people had fled from the opposite side of the rift in a hurry. It was inevitable that they would feel suspicious when they were suddenly taken away by a group of Secret Service soldiers.
But soon these doubts turned into confusion.
Because they saw their missing leader standing next to the Director of the Secret Service.
"Boss?!" The leading black spot soldier was completely shocked. Even through the thick helmet, his stunned tone still made people imagine his expression at the moment, "Why are you here?!"
"It's a long story," Luo Yi waved her hand, refusing to explain (after all, she was too embarrassed to say in front of her subordinates that she was tied up and used as a local specialty). "Now, first of all, I need an explanation - what is going on?"
“Yes, yes…” The Black Spot Soldier hesitated for a moment, but still spoke after taking a deep breath, “The Zolda Black Stone… is gone!”
Luo's expression changed instantly: "Huh?! You mean - it's gone!? Not out of control, not a lab explosion, but... gone?!"
"Yes, yes! The situation was very chaotic at the time," the Black Spot soldier said hurriedly. "First, we received the emergency code you sent. The nearest guard went to check on the situation, but found that you were not in the room. Then, there was no signal response from you in the entire space station. The guard commander went to the laboratory and ordered the laboratory technicians to increase the suppression level of the Zolda Black Stone to 4 and suspend the energy input to the Black Stone.
"These were all safety measures carried out according to regulations, but those technicians... suddenly became very excited. They shouted that we had entered a critical stage and couldn't afford to fail. They refused to follow orders... At first, only the technicians seemed excited, but soon, the laboratory security team also gathered, shouting that they wanted to protect Black Stone, and surrounded the protective force field to confront us.
"The commander felt the situation was strange, so he followed procedure and ordered all laboratory personnel who had come into contact with the Black Stone to immediately go to the quarantine area for a mental examination. He also called for support from defense forces in other areas of the space station. However, as soon as the order was issued, all the defense forces simultaneously mutinied. They blew up all the shuttles and sealed off the laboratory. Immediately afterwards, the security forces inside the laboratory began shooting at us. In the chaos, the commander used the code you authorized to activate the nuclear bomb under the laboratory, and then..."
The soldier suddenly got stuck at this point, as if he didn't know what to say next. Seeing this, Luo sighed: "I know, the nuclear bomb didn't explode..."
"No, it's not just that," the soldier shook his head, "I think we've angered that 'stone'.
"It 'decomposed' right before our eyes... Like evaporation, the black stone vanished from the tightly protected force field. Immediately afterwards, the entire laboratory space began to collapse. With the anti-gravity platform as its center, the entire space station began to rapidly disintegrate..."
