The micro-syringe that popped out from Feng Zhu's wrist bone stopped just two centimeters away from Mou Xuan's carotid artery. The needle was the same dark green color as the radioactive dust at the weather station.
"It's time to change the filter of your confidante's mechanical eye." Assistant Feng suddenly whistled, and Chen Yao's retinal projection flashed with snowflakes in an instant. "When she inspected her prosthesis last weekend, was there three grams of palladium-107 missing?"
The butt of Mou Xuan's gun hit the joint of the ventilation duct heavily, and the rust residue that fell off was mixed with a few grains of metal powder - exactly the same as the one that fell from Assistant Feng's sleeve.
He pulled off the radiation detector on his tactical vest, and the values on the screen were forming a strange sine curve in Assistant Feng's hiding place.
"The biological fiber conduit in your shadow," Mou Xuan suddenly lifted up the other's collar with the barrel of his gun, "the electronic skin at the end of each conduit carries the encryption algorithm of a different shelter." The heel of his boot crushed a loose floor tile, and the quantum entanglement communicator underneath was still repeating the voice of his old friend Xu: "... Only cooperation can fight against the turbulence of time..."
An alarm suddenly sounded from the West Area Laboratory.
Chen Yao's modified prosthetic eye penetrated five layers of concrete and saw Xu Jiuyou inserting the bronze severed finger into the iris authenticator of the main control computer.
The liquid metal multiplied wildly along the optical cables, covering the three core databases in a blink of an eye.
"Have Yin Yang activate the backup carrier." Mou Xuan suddenly pressed Assistant Feng's syringe into his own carotid artery. "By the way, tell the medical team to mix 5% of acid mucus into the anti-radiation serum - the same ratio as in last month's acid rain samples."
Assistant Feng's pupils suddenly contracted, and the gray-blue work clothes suddenly began to dissolve, revealing the flowing metal skin underneath.
But the electromagnetic lock that Mou Xuan had fastened on his shoulder blade in advance had already been activated, and the nanoscale restraints were gnawing at the time anchor points in the liquid metal.
"What you buried under the weather station is not a quantum computer." Chen Yao suddenly showed the jumping holographic projection on the particle knife, "The space-time stabilizer that was hijacked twenty-seven days ago - the radiation field of that thing can interfere with all electronic equipment within three kilometers."
Xu's old friend's wild laughter suddenly exploded from all directions.
The lighting system of the entire base began to flash, and in each light spot floated a schematic diagram of the loopholes in the western area's defense network.
Twenty-seven red coordinates automatically popped up on Mou Xuan's tactical tablet, all of which were defense points that had been modified this morning.
"How about we make a deal?" The shadow of Xu's old friend emerged from Assistant Feng's metal skin. The liquid metal was piecing together the emblem of a mysterious force. "Trade three defense loopholes for the monitoring data of the time turbulence. I promise..."
Mou Xuan suddenly adjusted the power of the electromagnetic lock to maximum.
Amid the sizzling sound of the restraints gnawing at metal, Assistant Feng's screams were mixed with the electronic noise of his old friend Xu.
Chen Yao's modified artificial eye accurately captured a certain encrypted frequency band - it was exactly the same frequency as the interference wave that hijacked the transport team three days ago.
"Give Yin Yang the third-level authority." Mu Xuan pulled off the nerve catheter on Assistant Feng's collar. The electronic skin attached to the end of the catheter was falling off. "Let him cross-verify with three databases..."
Lu Yang's roar suddenly burst out from the communicator: "That grandson planted parasites in the radiation zone! Mushrooms are growing on the inner layer of my protective suit!"
Xu Jiuyou in the holographic projection suddenly revealed half of his human face, and his right eye wrapped in liquid metal flashed with real fear.
Mou Xuan's gun muzzle moved slightly down half an inch - this fine adjustment would allow the particle bullet to penetrate the opponent's left shoulder and just burn the control chip hidden in the clavicle.
"Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock." Xu Jiuyou's voice was suddenly mixed with the noise of electricity, "Take the wreckage of the space-time stabilizer to the weather station..." His shadow shook violently, as if another force was fighting for control, "Otherwise, the entire western district's defense network..."
Mou Xuan suddenly fired three shots at the ceiling.
There were seven micro sensors embedded in the fallen concrete block, all of which were now pointed at Assistant Feng's temple.
Chen Yao's particle knife suddenly turned, and the air cut by the blade was filled with a fresh smell of blood - this time it was not the smell of synthetic slime.
"We can cooperate." Mou Xuan stepped on Assistant Feng's liquefied left hand, "First, spit out the five tons of condensing agent that was robbed last month." His tactical tablet suddenly popped up the verification report sent by Yin Yang. Those so-called production batch numbers from three years ago showed yesterday's date under ultraviolet light.
The projection of Xu Jiuyou suddenly split into two.
The smiling face on the left suddenly began to dissolve, and the mechanized torso on the right twitched wildly.
There was a roar of EMP warheads exploding outside the base. In the last scene before seventeen drones lost their signals at the same time, a rainbow-colored metal storm was gushing out of the entrance of the weather station.
