When Shen Yao put the nanorobot sample into the isolation box, Analyst Yu suddenly tore off the blood-soaked bandage and drew three superimposed triangle symbols on the bulletproof glass with his bloody fingers.
"This is not a mark," his electronic eye flashed wildly, "It's a countdown scale."
The holographic projection suddenly began to play the intelligence video from three hours ago. In the video, in the corridor of the third monitoring station, which was supposed to be empty, there was a faint sight of wet moss slowly crawling through the cracks in the wall.
(Continuation)
The analyst's bloody fingertips left three winding bloodstains on the bulletproof glass, and the electronic prosthetic eye projected an inverted triangle symbol in the center of the main screen.
The decryption device suddenly made a shrill sound, and the surveillance footage that popped up on the memory card showed that the intelligence agent had used Morse code to knock on the metal shell of the medical box before disappearing.
"Seventeen minutes ago." Inspector Cai suddenly grabbed the tactical board, "The backup generator in the safe house was shut down twice." He overlapped the monitoring timeline with the material list, and the power outage period happened to cover the entire process of Chen Yao recovering the nanorobots.
Mou Xuan's railgun left an afterimage in his palm, and the cold light reflected from the barrel swept across the pupils of everyone present.
Chen Yao was about to speak when the man raised his hand to stop her - this action was 0.3 seconds faster than usual, and the air flow caused by the tactical gloves brushing against her ear was filled with the smell of saltpeter.
"Before the signal from Messenger Qi's positioning chip was interrupted, his movement track passed through the ventilation duct in the medical area." The contact person Ren suddenly raised the decoder, and the tampered pass record emerged in the holographic projection, "But the duty roster shows that he should have been at that time..."
The explosion tore through the ice on the roof of the air-raid shelter as six EMP bombs exploded simultaneously.
Chen Yao's tactical dagger was knocked off its sheath by the electromagnetic pulse as soon as it was unsheathed. At the moment when Mou Xuan dragged her and knocked over the explosion-proof table, three enemies wearing optical camouflage broke through the wall.
Messenger Qi's mechanical prosthesis rushed in with short-circuit sparks, and the electromagnetic short blade split the throats of the two attackers.
"Bastards from the Mechanical City!" The vocal cord simulator of Envoy Qi made a metallic friction sound, and a chainsaw suddenly popped out of the joint of his mechanical arm.
Chen Yao took the opportunity to roll to the control console, and with her bloody fingers she drew three unlocking commands on the touch screen.
Mou Xuan's back hit the information wall heavily, and his retina still saw the reflection of the enemy's breastplate - those dark red crystals of the improved coagulant were embedded in the grooves of their armor.
A certain guess exploded in his mind. When he turned over to avoid the strafing, he caught a glimpse of Chen Yao stuffing the core module of the decryption device into the interlayer of his combat boots.
"Be careful of the pulse grenade!" Messenger Qi suddenly pounced on Chen Yao, and most of his bionic skin was cut off by the flying metal pieces.
Mou Xuan took the opportunity to throw out the spare magazine of the rail pistol and accurately hit the breathing filter valve of the leading enemy.
Chen Yao's electromagnetic pulse bomb exploded blue-purple arcs above the enemy's heads, paralyzing their mechanical prosthetic eyes.
Mou Xuan jumped up on the overturned shelves and stabbed the enemy's nerve interface at the back of his neck with a military dagger.
As the last attacker stumbled through the blast door, Messenger Qi's chainsaw was already pressing against his trembling Adam's apple.
"Wait..." Chen Yao's warning was half a second late, and the attacker suddenly exploded into metal fragments all over the sky.
Mou Xuan pulled Envoy Qi's tactical vest and retreated, only to discover that the self-destruct device was actually the latest model of subcutaneous implant.
Chen Yao picked up half of the mechanical finger from the pool of blood. Spectral analysis showed that the activation time of the implant was accurate to nanoseconds.
Mou Xuan's pupils suddenly contracted - a timing device of this level could only be set by someone with authority over the alliance's security system.
"The surveillance blind spot in Warehouse No. 3." Inspector Cai suddenly spoke up. He was piecing together the shattered parts of the terminal. "Every time materials are handed over..." The ice spikes on the top of the air-raid shelter suddenly broke collectively, and the alarm swallowed up the second half of the sentence.
Mou Xuan's eyes swept over everyone and finally stopped at Shen Yao's tactical belt covered with nanorobots.
When they raided the Mechanical City supply station three days ago, it was the electromagnetic jammer in this belt that paralyzed the automatic defense system.
"Notify all sentries to change the encrypted frequency band." His command was half a syllable longer than usual, and his fingertips unconsciously stroked the triangular mark that appeared only when the time power was activated.
Chen Yao's action of wiping the dagger suddenly paused - the pattern of the man's pupils reflected on the blade completely overlapped with the frozen nanorobot pattern.
When Messenger Qi dragged the smoking robotic arm for maintenance, the decryptor suddenly spit out a broken chip.
The moment Chen Yao picked up the chip with tweezers, the nanorobots in the isolation box suddenly turned collectively to the north and etched a DNA chain pattern with gears on the inner wall of the bulletproof glass.
Mou Xuan's tactical watch began to count down, and the color of the numbers was exactly the same as the coagulant crystals on the intelligence agent's windbreaker.
He turned and walked towards the information wall covered with bullet holes. The shadow cast behind him just covered the three-dimensional map that the analyst was piecing together - a coordinate point covered with blood was flashing the same blue light as the time power.
