Squid Who Loves Diving

Chapter 306: Rapid Advance

For Yu Tian and Bo De, the arrival of the powerful members of the "Vigilant Sect," true to their promise, greatly boosted their confidence. However, the Di Marco family had ruled the "Underground Ark" for decades, wielding immense power. Before seeing the light of dawn, they still felt anxious and couldn't shake off their worries.

Shang Jianyao stood up, turned around, looked at them, and put a finger to his lips.

This was a relatively common gesture. Yu Tian and Bo De tightly closed their mouths, not daring to ask any questions.

At the same time, Bai Chen, carrying the "Orange" rifle and holding the "Short Neck" submachine gun, and Long Yuehong, wearing the military exoskeleton, crouched down, pulled out the belts of the unconscious guards, tied their hands behind their backs, and secured them tightly.

They also used pre-prepared pieces of cloth to stuff the mouths of the four guards and pulled their pants down to their ankles.

This way, they wouldn't have to worry about these people waking up and shouting for help or freeing themselves.

Although Jiang Baimian's "Decapitation Plan" required a quick and decisive victory, with a high probability of ending the battle and pacifying the Ark before these guards woke up, it was better to be careful, as no one could say for sure if any accidents would happen in the middle.

After Bai Chen and Long Yuehong finished, Gena Wa, who was holding onto the gap with one hand and firmly attached to the wall, also retracted half of his finger that was inserted into the B12 camera interface.

The blue light in his eyes flickered rapidly for a while, and it only took him ten or twenty seconds to insert his finger back in.

Before long, he retracted his hand, pressed the B12 camera back into the interface, and repaired the damage caused by the electric shock.

After repairing the problems with the B10 and B11 cameras in turn, Gena Wa lightly jumped back to the ground.

He spoke quickly but clearly:

"I have analyzed the Ark's system, written a virus, and completed the intrusion.

"In thirty seconds, all cameras will restart, playing back the recordings of the past fifteen minutes, while the corresponding time will be replaced with the current time."

In this way, the guards on duty in the monitoring room would see that everything was fine everywhere in the Ark, everything was normal, just like the previous fifteen minutes.

Exactly the same.

Of course, repeating the playback for too long would definitely be noticed, but the "Decapitation Operation" wouldn't take too much time.

"Understood." Jiang Baimian "mm"ed and said in a low voice to Yu Tian and Bo De, "You know how to report, right?"

Yu Tian and Bo De looked at each other and nodded slightly excitedly.

They didn't quite understand what Gena Wa had just said, but that didn't stop them from thinking it was amazing.

They originally thought that the "Underground Ark's" defense system was so good that even a fly couldn't sneak in unnoticed, and that intruders would have no way to launch a surprise attack, and could only choose a head-on confrontation. Who knew that these powerful members of the Vigilant Sect, relying on their own strength and the comprehensiveness of the intelligent robots, had easily and quietly taken care of the monitoring system, even making it an accomplice in the intrusion.

Yu Tian and Bo De's confidence increased as a result.

They began to feel that this action to overthrow the Di Marco tyranny had a good chance of success!

Seeing that the time was approaching, Yu Tian grabbed the electronic product on his collar with his backhand and began to report:

"Not a big problem, we fiddled with it a bit, and it feels like it's almost fixed."

The guards in the monitoring room were about to ask for details when they saw the screens of the three blacked-out monitoring cameras light up again, showing the situation in Zone B3:

The three groups of six guards were each performing their duties, everything was normal.

"Okay, I'll tell the repairman not to rush, but we still need to do an inspection later, so it doesn't break again." The guard in charge responded through the area broadcast.

They really got away with it... Yu Tian and Bo De looked at each other again, and found that their eyes were full of surprise.

Shang Jianyao walked in front of them, pressed the lively monkey mask on his face, and said with a smile:

"We won't bother you any further."

Before he finished speaking, he had already raised his right hand.

Yu Tian and Bo De were stunned for a moment, and then understood, and successively turned their bodies to the side, exposing the position behind their ears to Shang Jianyao's gaze.

Shang Jianyao gave each of them a knifehand strike, with just the right amount of force.

Yu Tian and Bo De felt dizzy, but not really unconscious, but they took advantage of the situation to lie down on the ground.

In this process, their movements were unusually gentle, as if they were afraid of bumping themselves.

--If the Vigilant Sect's actions failed, they would really be coerced and stunned. If everything went smoothly, they would turn over and get up, instigating other guards, and strive to get a big piece of the pie in the Vigilant Sect's subsequent handling of the situation.

After doing all this, Shang Jianyao extended his right hand to Gena Wa.

Gena Wa took out the rubber gloves containing the yellow-green night pearl and threw them directly over.

Shang Jianyao pinched the fish-eye-sized pearl with his left hand and put the rubber gloves into his pocket.

"Prepare." Jiang Baimian took a breath when she saw this and gave the order.

Bai Chen raised the "Short Neck" submachine gun, his waist and back slightly lowered, ready to sprint out of this area at any time.

Long Yuehong, wearing the military exoskeleton, walked in front of Bai Chen and also struck a similar pose.

Further forward were Jiang Baimian, holding the "Grim Reaper" man-portable rocket launcher in one hand, and the silver-black robot Gena Wa, ready to launch lasers and grenades.

Shang Jianyao stood at the very front, sighing regretfully:

"It's a pity we can't use the speaker..."

This was because there was no more room for trickery. It was just a matter of rushing all the way forward, cutting off the head of Di Marco before most of the "Underground Ark's" forces could react. If a small speaker was used on the way, it would definitely arouse suspicion from the monitoring.

The "Old Task Force" didn't consider re-entering the ventilation ducts and going down in a winding way, because it would take more time, and the longer it dragged on, the more accidents would happen.

"Di Marco lives in Zone C on the sixth underground level. There is only one room there. He usually stays inside and rarely changes his place of residence temporarily... Zone C has two of the latest military exoskeletons, eight groups of sixteen fully armed guards, and two 'advisors' with superpowers... Zone A is home to Di Marco's many mistresses... Zone B now belongs to the mistress who is pregnant with Di Marco's child, and the monitoring room is also there..."

"The elevator can't go directly to Zone C. It can only go to Zone A first, then through Zone B, to enter Zone C..."

"There seems to be a secret escape route in Di Marco's room, with a dedicated elevator..."

The content described by Yu Tian and Bo De flashed through Jiang Baimian's mind one by one, and finally settled on the figure of Di Marco wearing an Old World black priest's robe.

"Action!" She shouted in a low voice and ran out of Zone B3 on the second underground level without hesitation.

Deng deng deng, Shang Jianyao, holding the yellow-green night pearl in his left hand, was the first to rush into Zone B2.

Before those guards could react, they felt an indescribable horror and uncontrollably rushed to different corners, curled up there, trembling.

They had all become "cowards".

Apart from fear, they couldn't have any other thoughts!

Shang Jianyao activated the power of the night pearl with almost all his strength, striving to make the effect of "coward" last longer.

And after previous experiments, they confirmed that without further influence, it could last up to one and a half minutes.

Deng deng deng!

The "Old Task Force" ran wildly towards the elevator, and along the way, all the guards parted like a tide, their faces filled with extreme fear.

None of them shouted, afraid that making a sound would make them a target. They just wanted to find the safest place to stuff themselves in and wait for the storm to pass.

Deng deng deng, the "Old Task Force" rushed to the elevator room in just over ten seconds.

During this process, Jiang Baimian and others strictly maintained their distance and front-to-back positions, on the one hand, to avoid being attacked suddenly and wiped out, and on the other hand, if they surpassed Shang Jianyao, they would enter the range covered by the night pearl's ability.

At this time, three gray-black elevators stood quietly in front, appearing very heavy.

Gena Wa had already infected the entire system of the "Underground Ark" with the virus he had written, so when they arrived at the elevator and entered, they didn't swipe a card or enter a password, and directly pressed the button corresponding to the sixth underground level.

The elevator doors slowly closed in front of Long Yuehong and others, and reopened in just a few seconds.

Outside was a corridor covered with a yellow-brown carpet, with multiple rooms on both sides.

According to the layout map given by Yu Tian and Bo De, Shang Jianyao, holding the yellow-green night pearl, which had dimmed a lot, took the lead and rushed into this area.

His expression was hidden under the lively monkey mask, and no one could see it.

At this time, many people in this area had entered a deep sleep and were uncontrollably having nightmares. Some struggled desperately, twisting and turning, while others woke up suddenly, gasping for breath.

The patrolling guards, like their colleagues on the second underground level, each found a place to hide, either shrinking in a corner, trembling, or grabbing a quilt and wrapping themselves tightly.

There was definitely some noise, but none of it was too obvious.

In the monitoring room, the guards on duty were carefully watching the images presented on multiple screens, confirming that there were no abnormalities, just like the past fifteen minutes.

Exactly the same.

Suddenly, they felt like countless ghosts were swaying around them, and they believed without reason that their companions were going to murder them.

Their courage quickly dissipated, and they left their seats and ran towards places where they could hide themselves.

Deng deng deng, the "Old Task Force" rushed into Zone C on the sixth underground level.

And from the time they started their wild sprint, only forty seconds had passed.

Sixth underground level, Zone C.

Two guards wearing military exoskeletons were the first to flee wildly, leaving only a back view for Shang Jianyao and others.

Two middle-aged men, suspected to be awakened, rushed into the safety passage like startled birds because their ability range was far less than that of the yellow-green night pearl, and tumbled down the stairs before they even sensed the approach of human consciousness.

Everyone else quickly scattered like birds and beasts.

The defense force that the entire "Underground Ark" prided itself on didn't even last three seconds.

"There's only one person in the room!" Jiang Baimian shouted as she ran.

Now that they were here, she didn't need to hide the noise anymore.

Shang Jianyao, who was rushing in the front, had always used the person in the room as the main target of "coward," and at this time, he didn't slack off in the slightest.

Deng deng deng!

Shang Jianyao, wearing a gray-blue camouflage uniform, ran wildly to the door of Di Marco's room and kicked the dark red wooden door open directly.

He didn't go in, but bounced back and ran a few more steps forward.

Jiang Baimian, who was close behind him, instantly "braked" and aimed the "Grim Reaper" man-portable rocket launcher at the dark doorway, aiming at the human inside.

Without any hesitation, she fired the rocket.

The sound of the explosion shook the sixth underground level, and blazing flames rolled out.

Jiang Baimian had already dived to the side to avoid the aftermath of the explosion.

Gena Wa and Long Yuehong arrived at the door in time after this wave of "wind and waves," and fired grenades into the room in a distinct order.

Four grenades went to different places, covering each other, leaving no dead corners.

Boom! Boom!

Amidst the successive explosions, the "Old Task Force" completed the first wave of attacks in the "Decapitation Operation."
