Chapter 69 Action, Trap! (First order of 1200 plus additional chapters, thank you all for your support!)
Zhao Xiong was silent for a moment, then looked at Li Ming with a pair of drooping eyes that were full of meaning. "You should know what's going on."
"I know." Li Ming was not surprised at all. The team led by Zhao Xiong was composed entirely of Qin Xiao's men.
"Very good, this is the map of the building." Zhao Xiong didn't say much, and there seemed to be no conflict between the two of them.
The smart terminal in his hand projected a three-dimensional image, which then gradually enlarged and locked onto a position on the top floor, flashing red light.
"This is Chen Songnan's room." Zhao Xiong said concisely, "The informant has already investigated and found out that the item is in his room, in the safe in the second drawer on the left under his desk."
"Tomorrow, Chen Songnan will lead the interstellar inspection team to the mining base for an inspection, but the transport plane they're sending won't be able to accommodate everyone. I'll volunteer to stay."
"One hour after they leave, at nine o'clock, the building's level 3 alarm will be activated and the security system will be rebooted."
"At that time, the top floor security will be transferred and all surveillance cameras will be shut down. We have fifteen minutes to act."
He looked around and said in a deep voice, "Do you understand everything?"
Everyone nodded. Li Ming was surprised. The person Qin Xiao arranged next to Chen Songnan was of high status and could actually achieve this.
"What if we encounter resistance during the operation?" someone asked.
"Kill!" Zhao Xiong said coldly, "Remember, this is our own initiative. Even if we are caught, it has nothing to do with Minister Qin."
The Xingchuang branch is not without security forces, but they have already entered with the help of their public identities, and the most difficult step has been completed.
Everyone's expressions tensed slightly, and they couldn't help but clench their fists.
"Tomorrow, the two of us will take the lead." Zhao Xiong looked at Li Ming, and seeing the other's overly young face, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
He had toiled in the city guards for more than a decade, climbing to his current position and carrying out such dangerous missions before he was favored by Qin Xiao and given an E-level gene seed.
But the young man in front of him, who had only joined the City Guard for a month, was standing at the same level as him.
"Okay." Li Ming nodded, thinking in his heart, Zhao Xiong seemed to know that he was already an E-level life form, it should be Qin Xiao who told him.
What about Zhao Xiong? Perhaps he had also become an E-class lifeform. After all, there had to be some benefit in exchange for someone's life.
Li Ming thought of something else and asked, "Chen Songnan's office is on the top floor. Along the way, there should be a lot of doors that require permission to pass through, right?"
Zhao Xiong glanced at him and said, "Yes, after the security system is restarted, those doors will be locked. However, I have a way to get through."
"What method?"
"You don't need to know so much, just follow my instructions." Zhao Xiong's voice turned cold.
Li Ming looked at him and didn't say anything else.
The data review was extremely boring, so Xu Wei interviewed many people. The review team did not go back to rest until ten o'clock in the evening.
Early the next morning, Chen Songnan woke everyone up. As Zhao Xiong said yesterday, the transport plane could carry up to 40 people.
There were no less than 15 accompanying personnel from Xingchuang Company alone.
"I'll take this team and stay here. There are a few staff members reviewing the data." Zhao Xiong acted according to plan.
"Okay." Wang Zhiheng didn't think much about it, and Chen Songnan didn't say anything.
The transport plane took off, its engine roaring, and turned into a streak of light, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.
In the conference room, except for Li Ming and Zhao Xiong, everyone else looked nervous, with sweat on their hands.
"Attention, geomagnetic fluctuations have been detected. Please be prepared for impact!"
“…”
The alarm sounded continuously and the conference room flashed red. Then, the lights went out instantly. The backup generator started and the lights came on again, very dimly.
It was exactly nine o'clock. Zhao Xiong suddenly stood up, a sharp light flashing in his eyes: "Action!"
At this moment, his movements paused slightly, because Li Ming took out a black hood from somewhere and put it on his head.
"What are you doing?" He frowned slightly. He had already said that all surveillance cameras would be turned off. Li Ming's actions clearly showed that he did not trust him.
"It's better to be prepared." Li Ming responded briefly. Those who can join the city guards have good physical fitness.
There were several people in the team who were about the same size as him, and they were wearing city guard combat uniforms. Without looking at their faces, it was difficult to tell who was who.
The others looked at each other, feeling a little regretful. Why didn’t they think of this?
Zhao Xiong wasted no time, glanced at him coldly, and acted quickly.
This is already a high-rise building, less than ten floors away from the top floor. There are basically no ordinary staff here. They enter through the escape stairs and go straight up to the top floor.
Several people along the way were very alert. The door of the escape passage was closed tightly. It was made of metal and was flashing red light, as if it had been locked.
However, Zhao Xiong took out a black magnetic card and scanned it on the device on the wall. With a beep, the door slid open to both sides.
"This should be some kind of backdoor. Even if the security system is restarted, it is impossible to lock the escape passage. There must be a backup system." Li Ming speculated secretly.
Someone in the team threw out a round metal ball, and a mimicry image quickly formed on the smart terminal.
"The corridor is empty," he reported.
"Let's go." Zhao Xiong walked out first, and Li Ming followed closely behind. The entire top floor only had Chen Songnan's office, which covered a large area.
The black door with gold patterns looked solemn and majestic. Zhao Xiong took out the magnetic card and was about to go forward, but was stopped by Li Ming.
"Time is running out, what are you doing?" Zhao Xiong frowned.
"I feel something is wrong." Li Ming looked around. "Don't you think it's a little too easy? There's not even a guard here?"
It took them less than three minutes to get here, and their calmness made Li Ming feel uneasy.
Zhao Xiong's face changed slightly. It was indeed a bit too smooth, but looking at the door in front of him, Qin Xiao's promise rang in his ears. He said in a deep voice:
"We're only at the final stage of this operation, but do you know how many steps we've taken before? How many steps have been laid?"
"I don't know how much I paid for just this magnetic card."
This operation had a complete plan. They were just here to take things, and the operation had been prepared for a long time.
Zhao Xiong walked around Li Ming and scanned the magnetic card. The heavy black and gold door slowly opened. Zhao Xiong and Li Ming were already hiding on both sides.
Zhao Xiong threw something in, and Li Ming keenly felt that some kind of electromagnetic field was spreading rapidly.
A small EMP?
Li Ming took a look inside and found the silver-gray mother ore also placed in the glass display case, just behind the huge desk.
There was no movement, and the place seemed empty. Zhao Xiong hesitated for a moment and said to Li Ming, "You go in and get the things. I'll stay here."
"No." Li Ming would have to be crazy to obey Zhao Xiong's order.
These two simple words made Zhao Xiong glare in anger, but now was not the time to lose his temper. He said to the two people behind him with a gloomy look, "You go."
The others had no ability to resist Zhao Xiong. They groaned secretly and carefully entered the room. They walked to the large black metal desk and fiddled with it for a while before taking out a safe that was half a person's height.
Zhao Xiong let out a long sigh, looked at Li Ming provocatively, and sneered. After the mission was completed, he would definitely tell Qin Xiao about it.
Li Ming was also a little suspicious. Was he really overthinking it?
However, just as the teammate carrying the safe stepped out, Li Ming and Zhao Xiong looked up at the same time, and their expressions suddenly changed.
boom!
The heavy metal door closed in an instant, and the other team member who was half a step behind was directly crushed into a meat paste. Blood foam spurted out, and pieces of flesh fell to the ground, forming bloody umbrella-shaped patterns on the ground.
The team member carrying the safe was stunned on the spot, and the others were no less shocked, their hearts almost jumping out of their throats.
Click, click, click--
At the same time, the ceiling above opened, and a number of suspended machine guns extended their muzzles, then turned their muzzles and locked onto everyone present. The orange-yellow ammunition belts made people feel cold.
In fact, when the muzzle of the gun just appeared, Li Ming and Zhao Xiong reacted immediately, almost one after the other, and rushed straight to the escape passage.
drop--
The magnetic card was scanned, but it had no effect. Zhao Xiong's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He suddenly punched it, leaving a fist mark, but it was difficult to break through in a short time.
The machine gun base was fully unfolded and began to rotate. Zhao Xiong's eyes turned cold and he moved towards Li Ming's back, as if he wanted to use him as a shield.
court death!
Li Ming noticed his idea at the first moment, but did not fight with him. Instead, he rushed straight to the other corner, leaving Zhao Xiong no chance.
"Fuck!" Zhao Xiong didn't stop and ran straight to the team member closest to him. In front of the team member's horrified gaze, he threw him directly into a machine gun tower.
Buzz--
The machine gun tower is surrounded by a vibrant blue screen and a protective barrier.
At the moment of life and death, Zhao Xiong roared and rushed towards the remaining people, forcing them in front of him. Through the gap, he saw Li Ming in the corner, and then his pupils shook violently!
Li Ming took out a large piece of black metal from his arms, which was as big as a millstone. Zhao Xiong found it hard to understand how he could hide such a large thing in his arms.
What was more crucial was that this thing unfolded rapidly, layers of metal continued to spread, and turned into a prismatic cone, interlocking with the corner of the wall, and actually wrapped Li Ming inside it.
What the hell is this!?
Zhao Xiong was stunned, but reality would not give him time to react.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The machine gun muzzle on the ceiling spewed out blazing flames, the sound was full and powerful, drowning out the wailing, and bullet casings fell like rain, clanging on the ground.
Blood was flying everywhere and Zhao Xiong was furious. He understood that this was a trap. Qin Xiao was fooled and they became cannon fodder.
The shield of flesh and blood in front of him was shattered, and he could clearly feel that some bullets had broken through his skin and were blocked by his muscles.
Even if he is already an E-level life form, it is impossible for him to survive the endless torrent of bullets with his physical body alone!
Suddenly, he perked up again, his eyes filled with astonishment, he saw the shooting hole in the center of the huge black shield in the corner opened, and a slender purple gun barrel extended out.
It is a full meter long, and only a sniper rifle has a barrel this long.
Such a long gun barrel? Where did he hide it? Zhao Xiong was even more confused.
Then, the gun barrel was aimed at the machine gun base on the ceiling, and there was a bang!
Snap!
The protective barrier rippled, and with another shot, the barrier cracked. With the third shot, the machine gun emitted sparks and it was rotten.
A glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in Zhao Xiong's eyes.
