Chapter 430 The Silk Road
Regardless of what Fuling was thinking, Lin Xuan kicked the metal railing of the municipal building, creating a dent, and then swaggered into the building.
At this time, it's impossible for anyone to come and handle business, so most public officials have already gone home to rest, leaving only less than a hundred staff members on duty to maintain the normal operation of the building's internal network.
The sudden explosion startled everyone. A few brave souls rushed over to investigate and found Lin Xuan snapping off the metal head of a security robot with her bare hands. Their eyes met, and Lin Xuan casually tossed the metal head to the ground and spoke coldly.
"Get lost, why are you getting involved? Go do your own thing."
Those people were obedient. Seeing how fierce the other party was, they knew that this was someone they couldn't afford to offend. A group of people rushed over and then left in a hurry.
Like I said, with only a few thousand yuan a month, why would they risk their lives?
"Which floor?"
Lin Xuan had no trouble getting through. He didn't even choose to take the stairs. Instead, he snatched the elevator card from the chest of a still-dazed employee and went upstairs in the elevator.
"The core of the machine is located on the top floor, but you can't go directly up by elevator. Go to the 9th floor first, where there is a passage that leads directly to the top floor." As Zhizi spoke, she projected the route map onto Lin Xuan's retina.
Since Zhizi gained partial control over the nanobots within Lin Xuan's body, their communication has indeed become much easier than before. However, to her dismay, this convenience has not only failed to bring them closer but has instead made Lin Xuan even more wary of him than before.
Meanwhile, the first wave of reinforcements for network surveillance had also arrived. Because it was located in an administrative district, these people were usually stationed around the headquarters of the three major companies to protect their security, so their arrival here was quite swift.
They still haven't figured out who would be so bored as to attack the city hall, which was just an empty shell anyway.
However, some people have already guessed some of it, but not all of it. Recently, the Red Bandits on Revelation III have been causing a lot of trouble. The front lines are being suppressed by the fleets of the two Earths, leaving Mechanical Earth unable to deal with these people. Naturally, they are taking advantage of the situation. They only had a few days of peace before causing trouble on the capital planet to make their presence known.
These people from the three major corporations are people they can't afford to offend. After all, it's not certain whether the Spark Organization is actually being supported by someone in the dark. Naturally, the municipal building became their first choice.
With its prime location and significant political implications, this incident, which occurred tonight, will likely make the news again tomorrow, regardless of whether online surveillance can catch the troublemakers.
Even now, they have already seen many passersby on the roadside who were attracted by the sudden explosion, holding up cameras and acting as war correspondents.
"Charles, you take a few men to the top floor to encircle them, the rest of you come with me from the first floor to sweep through. Remember, the goal is to annihilate the enemy, and to finish the job quickly."
"clear."
The network surveillance team was led by an Asian man named Zhang Sheng, who was also the head of security at Enwan Technology. He was already very familiar with this kind of situation.
These people dare to cause trouble in the administrative district, so they must have someone to help them. As long as we block both ends at the same time, they will be trapped inside the building and unable to move.
This is, after all, the capital planet. If these people succeed in their scheme and manage to hide, that would be a huge problem.
If it weren't for the immense political significance of the municipal building, Zhang Sheng would have even considered launching a Tianji weapon deployed in near-Earth orbit directly at this location.
He probably didn't know that even if he did that, he might not be able to kill Lin Xuan now, which was the source of her confidence to come alone.
As he had expected, the matter entered the public eye much faster than he anticipated, and even the members of Revelation Team 13 had received the news.
"The boss has made his move."
Lin Qi held a tablet in his hand and used a fork to stuff cake from the plate into his mouth. Ever since his legs were crippled, he had developed a particular fondness for sweets to stimulate the release of dopamine in his brain and make him feel better.
"It's still the same old style. If we follow him, we'll probably never be able to carry out a successful infiltration mission in our entire lives." Su Zilin was already used to this. He just glanced at it and continued with his own business.
A few days ago, Mind Earth awarded their team for the fourth time, and Su Zilin's personal rank and title were promoted three levels, as were the rest of the thirteenth team.
After all, only they have ever managed to turn an infiltration mission into a decapitation strike behind enemy lines and then a successful siege. Fang Lin even personally sent them a letter of condolence, which basically said that she would do her best to hold back the front-line troops of the mechanical Earth and let them develop their base under the noses of the enemy's 800,000-strong army.
As for reinforcements... we'll discuss that later. If we feel we really can't hold out, we can retreat with our trusted followers. The Thirteenth Squad has already won a great victory. Not only them, but also Simothers and others, and the Mind Earth will also give them generous rewards.
When they learned that there were still no reinforcements, the members of the Thirteenth Squad were inevitably somewhat disheartened.
However, they were also aware that Fang Lin was truly in a predicament. Firstly, the frontline army was pressing the Lu Sheng Division into retreat, and they were in high spirits, pressing their advantage. Sending anyone to support them at this time would mean the other side would lose a lot of military merits, and they might even hold a grudge against the members of the Thirteenth Squad because of this, causing things to backfire and ruining their current favorable situation.
On the other hand, Fang Lin still didn't dare to put too much pressure on Lu Sheng. Now, all three parties seem to have a tacit understanding that none of them will send reinforcements to the Xialang front first.
Mechanical Earth did not divide its forces, nor did the other two. The vast Chest Corridor front has been strangely calm for the past two weeks, without even the slightest friction.
Some third-party merchants have even begun to use this route, which was opened up for combat, for business purposes, and it is showing signs of developing into a kind of cosmic Silk Road.
This is quite a spectacle. There are two fronts, one is fiercely contested, while the other is peaceful and harmonious. Nobody knows whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
