Chapter 532 Chapter 529 War Shackles
Isabella stood in the drainage channel, looking at the empty concrete tunnel and the sloping embankment, her head pounding. It was a sunny day, and the slanting sunshine was warm and bright, but it could not warm her mood; the drains were dirty, and the black and smelly sewage on the soles of her shoes could not make her feel worse. She gritted her teeth and spun around in circles, letting her eyeball implant continuously scan, search, and analyze the surrounding situation. Her intelligence analysis shadow machine was almost smoking and stopped working, and she came to the same conclusion: there were no traces of Nike's actions.
"How did he escape?" Isabella clenched her fists. When passive investigation yielded no results, she tapped her fingers on the right side of her lower jaw, separated the mandible, and opened her mouth wide. She jumped high into the air and reached a height of forty meters above the ground. At this time, sharp high-frequency sound waves began to emit from her throat, which were continuously emitted from the python-like mouth, shooting in all directions.
The results of the ultrasonic investigation were still the same. There was no sign of Zhuang Xuteng, as if he had never been here. Isabella fell back to the ground, reset her chin, and then frowned tightly, becoming more and more confused as she thought about it.
It's impossible, no one can escape like this... Walking all the way from the secret passage, all traces show that Naike escaped from here. It is impossible for a person to simultaneously forge information from energy residues, traces of contact between hands and feet with the environment, traces of air dust disturbance, and heat residues. Even if you travel through the shadow realm, there will still be shadow energy signals. No, there is absolutely no path to the shadow world along the way. Naike definitely did not slip into another world by accident.
Where has he gone? Hidden? But even if you use invisibility cloaks and other internal company equipment, you can't cover up the shadow energy signal! There is no oil isolation layer or safe room made of thick lead sheets, because such equipment cannot be hidden from X-ray detection and will be very conspicuous. And even if I am careless, the personal affairs assistant and intelligence analysis shadow slave will not be lazy and make mistakes, so...
None of this can be explained, but Isabella can only accept the reality. "If this matter is exposed, there is a real possibility of being laughed at...Rather than saying that Naike successfully escaped, it is better to say that I let him go and let him go back and continue to think about joining."
Isabella believed that Nike was a smart person, and even if she didn't want to join the company, she didn't dare to jump out and refute her statement. Besides, if a monk can escape, he cannot escape from the temple. There are two other people who know that interesting martial art: Gogong Dao and the Famine Stranger. This means that with the clue of Naike, she can take a three-pronged approach. As long as the end result is good, the little setbacks ahead don't matter.
"Command center, is there no news about the meeting yet? Alas, things are really delayed this time." She connected to the communication line and reported the story she made up. "The mercenary named Naike is very valuable, but he lacks patience and insists on leaving. Well, he still emphasizes that freedom. I decided to take a long-term view and let the fish jump around for a few days to consume his The endurance is also good. Yes, I let him go, and now I am very sure that he has great value and can focus on development. "
In fact, Zhuang Xuteng hid aside and listened to all these words.
The location where he was hiding was very tricky, just above the outlet of the drainage channel, inside the dome of the pipe, about to leave the edge of the pipe. Zhuang Xuteng used the levitation technique, the power of his fingers, and the support rope that could be quickly fixed to fall down. The tentacles of the resentful spirit helped stabilize the invisibility cloak, and then put on the Thousand Eyes Cloak.
The invisibility cloak is responsible for optical invisibility, and the thousand-eye cloak isolates shadow signals. Subsequently, under Zhuang Xuteng's order, the sick lady possessed him and wrapped him, absorbing Zhuang Xuteng's body temperature with her cold ghost body, thus reducing the infrared signal to a level similar to that of surrounding objects.
Zhuang Xuteng used all his stealth skills and hid himself above the inside of the hole as firmly as a nail. The reason for choosing this place was that Zhuang Xuteng grasped an ideological blind spot: escape all the way to the entrance of the cave, and there is a vast world outside, and it is impossible not to continue walking no matter what. Isabella followed Zhuang Xuteng's escape traces all the way. When these traces came to the entrance of the cave, she would definitely leave the cave and continue to follow them. This was the inertia of thinking.
Sure enough, Isabella chased him out, and then began to doubt life and technical malfunctions, but she didn't expect that Zhuang Xuteng was still in the cave and hadn't come out. Only with excellent concealment skills and extremely cunning reverse thinking ability can one suppress such a bad fart.
After saying "hold it", Zhuang Xuteng kept holding his breath. He was afraid that his breathing would be heard and the diffuse heat would be discovered, so he really didn't dare to take a breath. He now relies on the oxygen-increasing medicine in the built-in injection implant to meet his body's needs. This was originally used for diving or other hypoxic environments, and it works just fine.
Hanging upside down, holding your breath, and being possessed by a sick lady must be uncomfortable, but you can only endure it. Zhuang Xuteng concentrated on controlling his body posture and did not dare to do anything else. He even did not dare to open the Wraith Jelly in order to avoid residual shadow energy, so he used his passive enhanced hearing to eavesdrop on Isabella's call.
"Prepare to collect the team at the end, so wait for me on the other side of the blockade. Yes, I'll go back the way I came, and I'll be there in a while. There's no need for them to take a detour. This secret road is quite winding, and you have to make two turns on the bridge along the road. Circle, I don't want to stand here stupidly. Yes, I will go back through the secret passage and let the team members wait for me at the other end. While waiting, collect the information about the Gorgon Road and the Famine Stranger and prepare it for me. I’m going to study it carefully.”
After the call, Isabella sighed and took a last look at the empty riverbank and drainage canal. At this time, the gurgling sound of the Pei River seemed to be mocking her, but she knew that this was just another mess that needed to be adjusted. Dingxin Mochuang Peicheng Branch has had a lot of messes recently, and the higher-ups are very strict. This can be completely covered up and there will be no follow-up problems.
Humph, the most ridiculous one is Taf. There were messes before he came, and there were still messes after he left, and even he himself became a mess in the end. In the past, when I joked, I would say: If you don’t work hard, you will be beaten to death! Everyone just took it as a joke. I didn’t expect that if you say you will be beaten to death, it will be useless even if you are a colonel.
Because she was thinking about the unsmooth things in her mind, Isabella clenched one hand into a fist and waved it in front of her when she walked back to the passage. This was just an unintentional habit of hers, and it did not represent any specific meaning, but in Zhuang Xuteng’s eyes, there was another explanation.
Zhuang Xuteng heard Isabella mention "Ge Gong Dao" and "Hungry Stranger" on the phone. Now her expression was indignant and her movements were rude, as if she was looking for someone to beat her up. Would it mean that Isabella would go to Dao Ge to make trouble? And from the eavesdropped conversation, Zhuang Xuteng guessed what Isabella wanted: he and Dao Ge, plus Master Hungry Stranger, the common intersection of the three people was supercomputing martial arts. It is normal for the company's business development senior manager to be tempted by martial arts that even the Lich Master praised.
However, whether to kill Isabella is still a question that makes Zhuang Xuteng hesitate. There is no other reason, there is no certainty of victory, and the risk is too great. Of course, if she can really be killed, the gains will be great. In addition to the value of the corpse itself, this move will definitely reduce the trouble of being entangled in asking for supercomputing martial arts in the future. Zhuang Xuteng hid on the top of the passage to think, and he couldn't make up his mind. At this time, Isabella casually swung her fist and hit the concrete wall at once.
The quality of Peicheng's municipal facilities is acceptable, but that is only the standard for dealing with general situations, and it definitely does not include withstanding the fists of the company's enhanced warriors. In fact, nothing serious happened, just a crack. But this crack moved up along the wall, spreading to the place where Zhuang Xuteng was hiding, and entered the range of the invisibility cloak.
Now, the crack disappeared halfway. Maybe Isabella didn't notice this problem, but Zhuang Xuteng didn't dare to gamble. If he won the bet, although he could safely survive the disaster in front of him, Isabella would go to Dao Ge for trouble after leaving here, and he would lose the opportunity to fight this woman one-on-one. If he lost the bet, Isabella would not only find him, but also have the advantage of taking the first shot, so he would fight in a more difficult situation, and nine out of ten would lose.
If you win, you won't make any money, and if you lose, you will probably lose everything. It's best not to participate in such a bet. So Zhuang Xuteng didn't gamble anymore, he put away all his thoughts and fought!
When two sides meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. Zhuang Xuteng immediately activated the shock wave of the neural implant within the visual range of the Eye of Kaho. The current situation is to hit the club, and the most important thing is not to let outsiders know. The shock wave can paralyze the neural implant, block the shadow slave chip, and suppress communication. This is the club of the information network. If Isabella is seriously injured and has problems with her body movement, Zhuang Xuteng believes that he can definitely smash her with the armor-breaking hammer.
It is right not to bet, because Isabella has never turned off the shadow slave for environmental analysis and enemy tracking. The crack spread upward and disappeared behind the invisible cloak. It was indeed not captured by her eyes, but it was discovered by the environmental analysis shadow slave.
This strange disappearance of the crack made the shadow slave stunned for a moment-it couldn't figure out why. A second later, it issued an "unclassifiable alarm" and displayed the problem in Isabella's field of vision. So the woman looked up and saw the truncated crack with the help of her dim vision. She frowned and raised her hand to touch it upward. Just a dozen centimeters above her head, she touched the invisible cloak.
"What? Who!" Although Isabella did not immediately think that it was an invisible cloak, she was shocked and prepared for battle. At this time, due to physical contact, the shielding effect of the Thousand Eyes Cloak was penetrated, and it was no longer possible to suppress the feedback signal of the shadow energy. Therefore, Isabella immediately saw the group of shadow energy on the top of the cave, including the special shadow signal that was gathering in large quantities.
"So you are hiding here!" Isabella gritted her teeth and was about to grab Nike when she received continuous alarms from the battlefield analysis shadow device. This time, the alarm was classified and displayed as: "War Shackles Emergency Alarm!"
Isabella grabbed Zhuang Xuteng with both hands. Zhuang Xuteng threw away the invisible cloak, and his legs burst out the power that had been accumulated long ago, and quickly left the previous position. He used supercomputing martial arts and levitation to control his body, rebounding back and forth on the top of the cave, the ground, and the wall like a spring, avoiding Isabella's four scratches and grabs in a row, and took the armor-breaking hammer in his hand.
Although it sounds complicated, this round of confrontation only lasted one second, and it was completed in a flash. Isabella only launched five claw attacks in one second, and then she had to deal with the emergency alarm.
"War Shackle System?! It's you... You are really looking for death!" Isabella gritted her teeth, her nails stretched out, the surface was shining with metallic luster, and there was also electric current around. "You dare to use the things of a dead person? That's the company's, not yours!"
Okay, this woman reacts very quickly and can immediately think of Kaho who has disappeared without a trace. However, her "seeking death" did not mean that it was Zhuang Xuteng who killed Kahuo, but she lamented that "dead people's implants have extremely side effects and can kill people." Her logic chain has always been very clear: just because the dead person's eyeballs were with Zhuang Xuteng, it doesn't mean that Zhuang Xuteng killed the person; suspicion is just suspicion, and suspicion cannot be equal to evidence.
"Since there are war shackles, then there are war shackles!" Isabella suddenly stopped attacking, immediately squatted down, hugged her knees with her hands, and curled up as much as possible. At the same time, her eyeballs also erupted with an astonishing shadow energy reaction, exactly the same as the Eye of Kaho.
Anyone else would probably not be able to understand what was going on, but fortunately Zhuang Xuteng had the Eye of Shadow. The same energy signature pattern, it must be the same attack. Shock wave versus shock wave, Isabella used the same trick on Zhuang Xuteng.
"Fuck!" Zhuang Xuteng cursed in his heart. He only knew that the shock wave he sent out would not accidentally hurt him, but he didn't know how much impact it would have on him. I just thought that if I could successfully control Isabella, I would win the battle directly, but I never thought that if the guys from the "Nine Thousand Nine Nine Hundred Ninety-Nine Ten Thousands" company would serve me this dish, what would the result be? How.
This is a loss of information. The neural implant shock wave is a powerful group control weapon that is only harmless to the user and has an impact on others. There is no absolute defense against this kind of weapon. Everyone will be affected to a greater or lesser extent, and devices with antenna functions will inevitably be unable to be used. This is unavoidable. Most implants and most slave devices must rely on non-manual control as their functional complexity increases. Whether it is an external nervous system or other transaction processing and control implants or shadow slaves, this can be regarded as a communication link connection, which is within the inevitable range of the shock wave.
After calculating factors such as the charge of the shock wave weapon, the time of the attack, and the range and speed of the impact, it is generally believed that running away is a poor choice. Even if you have accumulated enough power for high-speed and high-explosion in advance, there is a 78% chance of being affected. If it happens to be at high speed at that time, the loss of control of the slave equipment and implant may directly lead to a deceleration accident, which is fatal!
As long as you start to accumulate power, even if you break the eyeball, the accumulated part will burst out. At this time, the attacker is very close to the broken eyeball, and will suffer a great loss if the front is affected. If this punch fails to kill someone, it means losing the whole game, which is also not a good choice.
All things considered, the best way is to attack each other. You give me one, and I'll give you one. Anyway, the launch system of the shock wave is not afraid of the shock wave, and the second mover's charge is not afraid of being interrupted by the first mover. After both sides have taken the shock wave, it depends on their endurance, recovery ability and basic combat effectiveness. Both sides will not hold back anymore, and will definitely try their best to kill the other side first.
When one side activates the shock wave, the other side will also activate it. The two sides are like being locked together with handcuffs, and are about to start a fierce battle. This kind of scene is called war shackles within the company, and it is strictly forbidden to be used outside the company's war. Shock wave weapons are strictly limited to be used against civilians, police forces, and constitutional forces outside the company. People within the company also know that this thing has side effects, so in order to avoid misunderstandings, they don't use it easily. Kahuo didn't use the shock wave until he was killed by Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao. On the one hand, it was habit and on the other hand, he was arrogant.
Zhuang Xuteng didn't know these twists and turns. In order to win, in order to defeat the strong with the weak, it is the most reasonable choice to use amplified moves from the beginning. When he saw Isabella curled up and squatting, he immediately followed her example and squatted down opposite her. Zhuang Xuteng smiled very politely at Isabella, and Isabella gritted her teeth at him.
