Chapter 221 Agent-Agent Naval Intelligence Agency "Activate Molecular Locator" (Two-in-One)

Boom

Because the third floor is close to the top of the mall, people who were originally strolling, shopping and enjoying a happy holiday can clearly hear and feel the sound and vibration of the explosion.

Boom. Boom.!

Chris and others detonated several plastic bombs in succession, causing the violent movement of the explosion to be continuously transmitted to everyone's ears.

! !

At this moment, people finally realized that the mall was suffering from a "terrorist attack"!

"Run! Run!"

Aida shouted in panic, her face and expression did not look like she was acting at all, and she dragged Leon to the direction of Halsey.

"Oh my God!"

"Are the rebels so bold? Are they starting to break into the city?"

"I don't know! Anyway, I don't want to die at the hands of the UNSC and the rebels."

The tourists panicked instantly, while the local residents were relatively calm, as if they were accustomed to "terrorist attacks".

But this did not affect everyone's escape.

The local residents who were standing by the escalator ran directly to the first floor and then prepared to go to the public shelter underground.

The passengers seemed to be in a panic and had no idea how to go, so they followed Ada, who was the first to shout, and ran to the escalator on the opposite side.

? ?

Halsey, who was the first to be hit, was stunned.

Then, she was caught in the middle of the surging crowd and had to move forward in the opposite direction.

At this time, "passers-by" with serious faces and agile steps and skills began to appear in the crowd, trying to approach the seemingly helpless Halsey.

If someone really blocked the way, these "passers-by" would use brute force to push them away, and even worse, they would use elbows and kicks to forcibly clear the obstacles in the way.

These "passers-by" are elite agents affiliated with ONI, responsible for secretly monitoring and protecting Halsey.

ONI agents will not reveal their identities unless it is absolutely necessary, and now is the time point of "absolutely necessary".

"."

On the other hand, Ada, who had come behind Halsey, signaled Leon with her eyes.

Leon also understood, nodded calmly, and gradually distanced himself from Ada and Halsey.

At this moment-

Buzz--!

Accompanied by a burst of tinnitus, the lights that illuminated the interior of the mall suddenly went out.

Bang! Bang!

Then, the light bulb exploded, and broken glass fell from above.

"Ah!!"

"Don't!"

This made the already frightened people even more panicked.

! ?

The faces of the ONI agents became more solemn.

Because the previous attack was obviously some kind of sound wave or pulse attack, which directly cut off the power and communication nearby.

At the same time, the ONI agents immediately reacted and realized that the mastermind behind the series of movements was actually Halsey!

However, when they were about to take out their guns and prepare to completely disperse the people who were delaying their work, Leon rushed to the nearest ONI agent.

"Crack!" The sound of a broken bone was crisp and teeth-grinding.

"Ah!!" Then came the painful howl of the ONI agent.

Leon took advantage of the blind spot of his vision and broke the left arm of the ONI agent with a stab step. Then he made a hand knife with good control of strength, instantly making him lose his combat and movement ability.

Plop!

The first ONI agent fainted and fell to the ground, unconscious.

!!! !

"There is an enemy!"

"Where?"

"Here!"

Then, the five-member ONI agent team was easily disintegrated by Leon alone without even being able to see Leon's appearance.

And Leon intentionally or unintentionally used elbows, kicks and other means to ensure efficiency and violently break the arms and calves of the ONI agent.

Although both sides are elite fighters of the nature of agents and spies, and ONI has the advantage in numbers, Leon's physical fitness and fighting experience are several levels higher than those of the ONI agents on the scene.

Unless the difference in numbers is too large, otherwise in a one-on-three or one-on-five situation, Atlas investigators have an absolute chance of winning.

Taking advantage of the chaos to solve all the hidden dangers, Leon merged into the crowd and chased Ada and Halsey who had already gone far away.

——

Outside the mall at this moment;

The sun is still bright, but the streets have become empty.

As soon as the patrol police noticed the explosion, they began to evacuate passers-by and set up isolation belts to block the scene to prevent residents or tourists who did not know the situation from entering the scene by mistake.

Soon, three black-painted riot vehicles arrived in front of the main entrance of the mall.

The door of the compartment opened.

A group of fully armed special police poured out of the compartment, taking heavy steps and keeping a distance, preparing to enter the mall in small teams one by one.

Bang——!

However, the unique large-caliber gunshot of the anti-equipment sniper rifle completely disrupted the special police's action plan.

"Sniper! Dodge! Dodge!"

After the captain gave the order, the special police retreated to the left side of the explosion-proof vehicle, and then quickly entered the alley opposite the mall to avoid being blown into pieces by the anti-equipment sniper rifle.

Bang——! Bang——!

During this period, the snipers ambushing in the unknown area had no intention of stopping at all, and directly "forced to scrap" the three riot control vehicles and the surrounding police cars.

?

Such an action immediately aroused the suspicion of the SWAT captain.

Is it the sniper's poor accuracy?

Or did the sniper have no intention of hurting or killing anyone from beginning to end?

This doesn't look like the rebels' style.

But the captain did not dare to risk his own life and that of his subordinates to test the sniper's true thoughts.

Moreover, because their group of special police officers rushed to the scene after receiving the situation, the communication equipment was still intact.

After observing for a moment, the SWAT captain reported via the helmet comms: "Headquarters, we are being suppressed by snipers from unknown forces. We are requesting air support from the UNSC."

"This is the main station, roger, coming soon. Captain Hendry, this is Lucas R. Junior of the Office of Naval Intelligence.

Please ignore the opponent's snipers, lead your men directly into the mall, and help us rescue a female civilian named Catherine Halsey. This is an image of her face. "

Hearing that their contact with the police station was cut off and intervened by ONI, and seeing Halsey's ID photo displayed on the helmet screen, the SWAT captain suddenly became furious and replied:

"Why does ONI order our Alexandria Police Station? Also! The other side's snipers are using anti-machine weapons. Come here and try it yourself!"

"Please carry out the order and don't ask me to repeat it to you, Captain. Think of your family and next month's salary."

However, the person in charge of ONI had a tough attitude and even threatened his family and work.

"Understood." The SWAT captain replied through gritted teeth, and then said to all the SWAT police on the team communication:

"The sons of bitches from ONI asked us to force their way in. Fortunately, they didn't seem to have any intention of hurting or killing anyone. We can only rely on gambling. Everyone be prepared."

"This is it, Captain."

All the special police officers were extremely guilty. After all, no one wanted to confront the snipers who had set up their positions. Moreover, they did not have the conditions and authority to call for artillery strikes, so they could only carry out the orders.

"Da da da!!"

However, as soon as this group of special police officers wanted to show up, they were faced with a hail of bullets composed of 5.7x28mm (AMWS/Modular Weapon System) caliber, which completely suppressed them at the entrance of the alley, unable to move at all.

Bang~!

A ricochet hit the SWAT captain in the left knee.

Even though he was wearing titanium alloy knee pads, the strong force still caused the captain to stumble and fall to the ground.

Then, the captain endured the pain and shouted loudly: "People are injured! People are injured! Retreat quickly, there are too many enemies and we cannot continue to execute the order!"

"yes!"

After receiving clear instructions, all the special police officers quickly dragged the fallen captain back into the alley.

Moreover, the SWAT officers’ answers this time were more positive than before.

This is not because they are timid, but because the orders given by ONI are indeed unreasonable.

The opponent is hiding in the dark, with unknown numbers and unknown equipment. What is known is that the opponent has military-grade weapons.

The events before them were beyond what they could handle, so they could only wait for more professional marines or special units to take charge.

——

at the same time.

Located in the center of New Alexandria, the landmark building "Olympic Tower" is the headquarters of the UNSC Naval Intelligence Agency.

In the mid-level office area of ​​the Olympic Tower, in an office facing north;

"Damn, what a bunch of guys who don't succeed enough and fail too much!"

The ONI official wearing a dark gray uniform picked up the ashtray placed on the table and threw it out.

Snapped!

The ashtray shattered and ashes flew everywhere.

"Anger will not help the current situation. Please calm down, Colonel Junior."

The intelligent AI that presented itself in front of the desk looked at the debris at its feet and reminded the ONI official in a cold voice.

Moreover, this intelligent AI exudes a light yellow luster, has a slender figure, and is "wearing" medieval-style clothing.

"Stablize?!"

The ONI official named Lucas R. Junior turned to look at the other party and asked:

"Melissa, how did the rebels know about Halsey's existence?! Without her, how could we launch the Orion II plan? And why didn't you give an early warning?!"

"The enemy possesses advanced optical camouflage."

The smart AI, called Melissa by ONI officials, waved her hand to bring up the holographic screen and played the video image analyzed based on the impact point of the bullet and the source of the gunshot.

The video shows a group of looming armed men on the top floor of the building surrounding the shopping mall, suppressing special police officers on the streets from multiple angles.

If Melissa hadn't specially drawn the outline of the character, then in Junior's eyes, the suppressed SWAT police were fighting wits with the "air".

See this scene

Junior instantly understood that the enemy they were facing was no ordinary rebel.

It is not that the UNSC does not have individual-level optical camouflage technology, but it is only used by the UNSC's special forces or their ONI black team, and the cost is extremely high.

"Colonel Junior, the other party is organized and disciplined, and its technology and strength are no less than our elite." Melissa continued to explain:

"In addition, one thing I can assure you is that all members involved in the Orion Phase II project are closely monitored by me, and no one has disclosed any information to the outside world.

The other party seemed to understand out of thin air that we would surround Dr. Halsey on Reach and cultivate next-generation super soldiers. "

Speaking of this, Melissa's face looked slightly strange.

It seems that even the smart AI cannot analyze the so-called "enemy", that is, how Atlas knows the secret.

More importantly, although Halsey is a well-known civilian scientist, ONI's confidentiality work is very complete, and there is no way for the outside world to know about Halsey's plan to cooperate in depth with them.

But Atlas hit the snake seven inches, accurately capturing the top priority of everything.

"Knowing it out of thin air? How is it possible?"

Junior immediately denied this conjecture. After all, it was too "magical" and said:

"Notify the Governor of Reach and ask them to cooperate with us in blocking all civilian ports, and then notify the Operations Office and the UNSC to launch a carpet search of cities, towns and remote villages.

In addition, we also need the naval fleet to pay close attention to all jump voyages that occur within Tianyuan 4, and to find Halsey at all costs.

Without her, we humans would fall into never-ending internal strife. "

"Yes, Colonel." Melissa nodded in agreement.

At this moment, ONI's top management actually attaches great importance to the Orion II (Spartan) project and has intentionally allocated a large amount of operational funds.

You must know that although the rebellion in various colonies is getting more intense, they are still legally part of the UEG government. If the fleet is directly launched into the orbit of the colonies, it will add fuel to the fire.

Ever since the UNSC dispatched the first phase of Orion products to successfully kill the rebel leader Gerald March Ender in 2502, ordinary beheading operations have been difficult to achieve again.

Therefore, the military urgently needs fast, stealthy, and powerful super soldiers who can fight one against a hundred to secretly suppress all "voices" that oppose the UNSC and UEG.

Halsey being kidnapped by unknown forces is a loss that ONI cannot bear.

Inside the city’s sewage system with an unspeakable smell;

Tread, step.

The sound of footsteps made during normal walking is particularly loud.

"Hey, you're not from the rebels, are you?"

At the same time, Halsey's fearless inquiry was still circulating here.

I saw Leon in front, Ada in the back, and Halsey, who had a plastic band on his wrist, was between them, heading out of the city along the passage on the right.

"."

Halsey, who was "loved" by ONI, received only silence in response.

Leon and Ada ignored Halsey's doubts throughout the whole process.

Soon, the three of them walked out of the dilapidated sewage outlet and came to the dense forest in the northern suburbs outside the city.

Continuing to move forward for a while, the three of them boarded the Herring Gull II troop transport aircraft deployed here in advance, turned on the stealth mode and flew to the desert 700 kilometers away.

Soon after, Herring Gull II carried them back to their operating base deep in the desert and among the canyons.

And as soon as they left the cabin, Leon and Ada escorted Halsey to the second underground floor of the base and into a relatively open hall.

"here it is?"

Looking at Leon and Ada who retreated and stayed in the middle of the hall, Halsey couldn't help but frown.

At this time, a female voice broadcasting without any personal emotion could be heard in the hall:

"Start Molecular Locator

Everyone, please be prepared.

The galaxy and planet coordinates are locked, the distance measurement is correct, and the Ark teleportation is ready.

Countdown to ten,

Nine."

As the broadcast began to count down, a "water balloon" gradually began to condense in the center of the hall.

Halsey:? ? ?
