Chapter 334: Deceive the Heavens to Cross the Sea
(Congratulations to the new helmsman "Pingping(1)," thank you for your daily support for the past six months!!)
Not taking revenge had never been Mu Fan's style!
He might not have Shura, but he still had Black.
Since they liked it this way...
Then this time, he would play along with them.
Next, it was time to turn this planet upside down!
The broken strands of hair on his forehead obscured Mu Fan's eyes as the youth stepped out of the storage room and began to walk along the long corridor.
"Commander... Orders received!" Black's voice was cold and mechanical, as the Yake Empire's super Smart Brain transformed into a war machine.
Human life, in its eyes,
was the cheapest thing there was!
Mu Fan's voice faded, and Black's response followed.
And so, an invisible signal began spreading from Mu Fan, moving along Blue Capital Star's public network, creeping towards hidden ports, before finally infiltrating civilian star system transmitters and suddenly broadcasting outward.
The signal pierced through multiple layers of space, entered military channels that had long been locked down, underwent various leaps and bounds, and finally reached the ground Light Computer clusters of Planet 131.
"Command issued: Deploy the Shadow Fleet!"
The emotionless, icy text instantly formed the highest orders for four bases!
On the unseen Planet 131, within the bustling steel jungle,
countless SCVs shuttling inside the bases suddenly stopped, like ants that had just been receiving the queen's signals, and then instantly fell into neat formations, beginning to march outward.
Surrounding the base was an expansive and astounding metal surface.
The sleek and cold metal floor slowly opened, and amidst the roaring sounds of the hydraulic lifts, objects buried beneath began emerging bit by bit, like the tip of an iceberg.
A black coat of paint, cold steel, towering bridges, formidable Macro Cannons...
One after another, the autonomous robots – not even adorned with decorative shells – exposed their bare structural frameworks as they emerged from somewhere and filed towards the area.
The robots' eyes glowed red, they were silent, orderly, and cold.
They had been encoded with a top-level command from the principal authority:
That was - combat!
Planet 131, within the Red Plain, this mysterious fleet hidden from the eyes of the Zeg Clan and humanity.
Finally embarked on their first mission.
Objective: Blue Capital Star.
Shadows... depart!
At Zhongjing City's N104 highway entrance, within Medical Facility No. 1032, the youth's silhouette was silent and traceless.
Apart from the long shadow cast under the starlight in the hallway, there was not even a hint of peculiarity in the air.
Mu Fan moved soundlessly.
"Black, eliminate visual monitoring blind spots."
"11 o'clock direction, there's a dark window, hidden by vegetation in the back."
"Scope out the distribution area for pursuers." After hearing this, Mu Fan turned slightly to the left behind him and then stepped into the dimly lit Room 17 marked with a sign.
"Concentrated within 300 meters, using standard encrypted near-field communication, capable of 100% intercepting and eavesdropping. Positioned in three main directions, primary surveillance areas are the intersection of N104 highway and the eastern district, along with the main entrance and side windows."
"Understood, unlock the electronic lock of this window, in five minutes I'll escape their line of sight, arrange for a vehicle to come pick me up."
As the electronic lock clicked in front of him, Mu Fan gently raised the dark window, and as his foot touched the window sill, a wave of invisible, cold breath instantly enveloped his whole body.
This extreme cold even managed to conceal Mu Fan's body temperature at that moment!
Such a phenomenon even surpassed the range of explanation by current Federation science.
It meant that if an infrared detector were used right now, it wouldn't be able to detect Mu Fan's infrared profile!
The only possibility for such an effect came from a mysterious heritage from Mohandas – Dark Breath!
After Ghost Energy covered Mu Fan's entire body, even if one didn't look closely, standing right beside him, they wouldn't be able to detect the presence of the person next to them.
The breath he exhaled was automatically filtered and merged seamlessly with the air, with all traces of his presence perfectly concealed.
If Mu Fan were standing here, people would surely think him a statue.
Mu Fan had already stepped out onto the ledge outside the dark window.
Before him were lush trees casting uncertain shadows under the night sky, the feeble starlight unable to illuminate this place, accompanied by the rhythmic chirping of insects.
And then, no other sounds.
"Black, lock down all entrances and exits."
With a click, or rather, innumerable soft sounds.
Under Black's control, the medical facility instantly entered the highest state of alert.
Mu Fan was about to do something, and during this period, he did not want anything untoward happening to Nuonuo...
Glancing down at the wound on his left shoulder, which still oozed blood, Mu Fan expressionlessly lifted his head to survey the area below on both sides, then his body bent forward, and he leapt.
Around the medical facility, three floating cars were positioned in a triangular formation, initially, these people strictly followed their surveillance plan.
However, after a thorough inspection.
This medical facility, located hundreds of meters away from the urban buildings, was like a lonely island in the ocean.
Compared to the tall iron fences that surrounded it, the main gate and the side gate clearly became the only two exits.
But now the time had turned to the early morning.
There was absolutely no movement here!
They had witnessed him shooting himself three times in the shoulder with a revolver.
With his condition at that time, it was questionable whether his arm could be saved, let alone his life.
Surveillance was ridiculously easy.
As for the tracking arranged by the Young Master, it was unlikely.
After such a long silence, he might as well be dead inside.
Bearded, as the person in charge of this operation, was beginning to feel bored.
All three vehicles activated their differential imaging capture mode, covering almost every angle.
Under the watchful eyes of the twelve night vision devices equipped on these vehicles, any slight change in the scene before them would trigger an alert.
Bearded's fierce gaze continued to sweep around, deciding that if there were still no developments after 30 minutes, he would switch to a rotation watch mode and sit inside his car.
No one noticed that a sequence of seemingly useless signal codes transmitted along with the transceiver into the floating car.
These night vision and alarm devices were still faithfully recording the scene before them...
But they had already begun to loop fragments of it.
The footage was so natural, the devices so advanced.
No one paid attention to the monitor's screen, for they believed more in their own eyes and ears.
At this moment, a shadow crouched quietly on the tree branch behind the medical facility, its shiny black eyes recording the scene below in his mind.
Mu Fan's eyes, at night, were an existence far surpassing any night vision device!
Once he had clearly seen the final surveillance personnel's movements.
Mu Fan gripped the tree branch with one hand, then his whole body floated down lightly, as graceful as a feather landing on the ground.
And so, foot by foot, he moved silently.
What came to mind was the first time he met Instructor Mohandas.
After deceiving all his senses, he appeared quietly behind him.
Then, under his very nose, he faded bit by bit into thin air.
He only remembered the word Instructor Mohandas said after teaching him the Martial Arts Skill called Dark Breath, "Someday, you can do it too."
He would not kill these men.
Because, right under their watchful eyes...
He was going to deceive the heavens and cross the sea!
