Chapter 249: Chapter 210 Many Colleagues_3

"Oh... very impressive," Zheng Yichen halted, sensing the oppressive force against the wind he had released as he faced the combat mechas blocking the way ahead.

Chiang Wei had supplied intelligence on these combat mechas, which were equipped with special ability interference devices and protective force fields, far more powerful than those unmanned drones.

And there was no small number of drones around.

Zheng Yichen didn’t engage them head-on but chose to flee instead.

"Damn it!" The squad leader, momentarily stunned by Zheng Yichen’s abrupt escape without a word, exclaimed, "He’s not attempting a head-on breakthrough, watch out for stealth attacks!"

There were no other entrances here; one could only reach the Eye of Time and Space through this point. As for other exhaust channels? They weren’t meant for people, and Zheng Yichen couldn’t pass through them either.

After passing on the information, the squad leader remained on guard, knowing if they secured this entrance, other matters would naturally be handled by others.

Zheng Yichen reached for the black spear in his hand, "You’ve worked hard," he murmured.

He immediately removed the battery inside the weapon, and rearranged the battery configuration, a trick taught by Chiang Wei. With the new arrangement, the device required external power to maintain, entering what’s called an overload mode.

"What? He’s not stealth attacking? A frontal assault? Has he lost his mind?" The combat squad’s captain was taken aback as Zheng Yichen reappeared, "Stop him!"

The combat mechas aimed their guns at Zheng Yichen, while his black spear crackled with intense electricity. He unleashed a sweep of interference waves at the mechas, firing nothing but disruptive frequencies.

"Our interference waves are neutralized? That gun has such a function?" As the winds around him grew even wilder, the squad leader immediately grasped the problem at hand.

With the black spear in Zheng Yichen’s hand in overload mode, sparks erupted from within, rendering it useless, but Zheng Yichen had accomplished his goal.

The combat squad leader, inside his combat mecha, roared as he watched Zheng Yichen charging toward him. As they neared each other, the lightning in Zheng Yichen’s hand erupted, covering the region in a blanket of electric light and shattering the mecha’s protective field entirely.

Paralyzed hands of the mecha’s pilot released the controls as the screen before him sparked densely, the entire combat mecha incapacitated, not even able to open the entrance from the inside.

The combat mecha, originally designed to counter Special Ability Users, now became a dangerous prison for them; robbed of their external vision, the squad leader in frustration blew on the control panel and got a sting from a leaked electric shock, which caused him to convulse again.

"Ahhhh!"

Without the interference gun, Zheng Yichen couldn’t quickly dispatch the Special Ability Users he encountered in this place. However, his power was greater, and ordinary Special Ability Users couldn’t stop him.

"Hm?" Sprinting Zheng Yichen suddenly stopped as darkness enveloped him, not because the lights went out, but because the brightness was stripped away?

In that instant, he activated his thermal vision and saw a figure swinging down at him. Without any hesitation, Zheng Yichen quickly dodged, but still felt something pierce through his arm.

"Hey, I don’t want to kill anyone, but I can’t guarantee I’ll control my power if you force me!" Zheng Yichen yelled, sideways glancing at the figure that had just revealed itself in his thermal vision.

The opponent showed no intent to communicate and attacked again. Zheng Yichen couldn’t determine the nature of the attack, so he intensified the wind’s protection, which was nonetheless penetrated. Water defense was also ineffective, as was soil—concrete was beneath his feet, rendering earth-type abilities useless.

In less than twenty seconds, Zheng Yichen had acquired numerous wounds on his body, and he also heard a cacophony of noise. Without any hesitation, Zheng Yichen unleashed a burst of furious lightning... which didn’t spread.

He felt the influence of the special ability interference device again. In order to avoid being truly killed by this unknown attack, Zheng Yichen’s black spear began to emit a ghostly green flame, which instantly covered the entire passageway.

With thermal vision, he detected many figures emitting high temperatures, although such heat only emanated from cooked meat.

As his vision returned to normal, Zheng Yichen glanced at the marks around him. There were numerous puncture marks on the walls from some type of attack, but as for those incinerated by the Hellfire, there was nothing he could do about them; he had always held back.

Could he still be killed if he didn’t hold back?

You hold back only when you can afford to; when you can’t, you strike as fiercely as needed.

Without examining the details of these traces, Zheng Yichen quickly left the area.

The fortress commander soon received the relevant information. This was the greatest casualty caused by Zheng Yichen since his infiltration, even resulting in the death of a powerhouse Special Ability User who could be rated as Level 4 in this world, possessing light-type special abilities.

They could deprive a target of their sight, and the fewer the enemies faced, the stronger this effect. Moreover, this vision deprival could ignore the influence of the special ability interference device, as long as they were outside its range. However, this individual was burned to death by Zheng Yichen’s fire.

Zheng Yichen, indeed within the range of the special ability interference device, unleashed an abnormal ghostly green flame that ignored its effects. The light-type Special Ability User had not anticipated this and was caught off guard and engulfed by the flames, dying unjustly.

With that threat gone, Zheng Yichen reverted to a mode of attack that was less lethal and consumed less energy.

"The target is nearing the residential area."

"What about the isolation?"

"...Isolation, it can’t hold him." The staff quickly reported; the thick isolation doors could temporarily delay Zheng Yichen’s progress, but it wouldn’t be long before he could break through them, considering his high special ability strength and the ghostly green flames.

What was more alarming to the commander was when Zheng Yichen, passing by a surveillance camera, took out a new device, and with the black spear, he scribbled two words on the ground... Virus!

The commander’s blood pressure spiked immediately. Not long ago, a mere virus had caused massive invasions into the fortress. This place was highly confidential, but if it were really unknown to outsiders, there wouldn’t be an external Shell System.

Fortunately, the recent occurrence of the virus was not in a critical area. By cutting off the energy supply to that section and completely silencing it, the issue was resolved. However, Zheng Yichen had more than one virus, which spelt trouble, especially if one were to break out in the Eye of Time and Space research area...

Everywhere Zheng Yichen went, the power shut down, which was the only way they could interfere with his use of the virus. The combat personnel also changed their tactics; instead of aiming to kill Zheng Yichen, their main objective was to destroy any electronic device he carried.

Even though an electromagnetic pulse strike had been used, in their eyes, Zheng Yichen was still a formidable Special Ability User. The wind around him and the circulating lightning could resist and neutralize such attacks, and the devices carrying the viruses were stored in containers with strong isolation properties.

The problem they now faced was that Zheng Yichen was like a dirty bomb; as long as he was alive, there would be no leaks, but if he died, it would result in a very wide-ranging impact, and he was already in the Eye of Time and Space research area.

If the virus truly took effect and caused malfunctions in the equipment that sustained the Eye of Time and Space... then killing Zheng Yichen would be pointless.

What enraged the commander was that after all the chaos Zheng Yichen caused, he had truly found an opportunity.
