Chapter 212: Applying to Connect to the Network Terminal
The person who made the move did not directly confront Bai Chonghuan, but instead slit the throat of the Guard beside Division Commander Bai with a knife; the movement was extremely fast, with almost no sound at all.
But Bai Chonghuan still detected it, using his bare arm to block the blade.
The sound of metal scraping made both the assassin and the target freeze for a moment; Bai Chonghuan's reaction was still very fast, after all, the opponent was clearly a professional when it came to assassination, and in the blink of an eye, the knife was thrust twice toward his temple and eyes.
Bai Chonghuan only had time to block the latter strike, and at this moment there was no opportunity for a fourth strike; a bullet penetrated the head, Bai Chonghuan threw the person away, and a sidearm was already in his hand, the muzzle emitting a wisp of heat.
This was not the end, but the beginning; several soldiers on the high wall actually turned their muzzles, launching a siege on Bai Chonghuan, who had not yet had time to change into his combat uniform.
Niu Boyi was eating, in a very bad mood; did these humans not hear what his Master said before leaving? The doggy was left here to protect that iron man.
Disturbing the doggy while eating, abominable!
Fortunately, the defensive works on the high wall were complete, with many places to hide; Bai Chonghuan's Steel Body did not affect his reactions or movements, and he switched between several covers in a very short time.
Thus, when an assassin rolled past Niu Boyi's food bucket, a dog paw helped him out, directly flipping the person away and smashing him into the interior of the high wall.
Because of this, the people below noticed what was happening on the wall and immediately mobilized personnel to support.
The supporting personnel soon discovered that the elevator leading to the top of the high wall had lost power, and a group of people could only watch the extremely dangerous assassination above, anxious as ants on a hot pan.
The previous rescue squad had all been taken away for physical examinations, leaving only Bai Chonghuan and his two Guards; the guards on the wall were not all assassins, but they had been taken out by the assassins at the first opportunity.
The doggy lay there silently, not wanting to show its head in the hail of bullets; anyway, as long as it didn't watch Bai Chonghuan die, that was fine.
It wanted to finish its food in peace, but someone below was calling it.
The top of the high wall was only five meters wide and no more than fifty meters long, built according to the terrain; both ends were hollowed-out mountains, the final safeguard of Haiyang Base.
Niu Boyi was already blocking the way by lying there; at first, everyone thought it was just a Mutation beast that didn't understand human speech, until it stretched out its head and, following the shouts of those people below, swiped a paw to turn on the power, letting the elevator down.
"Stop that dog!"
The assassin's shout was already too late, not to mention he added a curse, "Damn beast!"
Niu Boyi suddenly turned its head, a pair of large eyes glaring at that assassin; this human was scolding it.
"Woof woof, the doggy is not damn, hmph!"
So it temporarily put down the unfinished food, a leap, easily jumping over ten meters, and a paw descended from the sky, knocking the head off the cursing assassin.
Then, with a sweep of its tail, it deflected the assassin who was aiming at Bai Chonghuan from the side; the latter had thought he couldn't dodge that shot, and hurriedly shouted to Niu Boyi, "Thanks, big doggy, there are only the two of us left."
The guards on the high wall had changed shifts before they returned; three-quarters of the twenty people were actually assassins, clearly planned for a long time.
After a bout of unprepared slaughter, there was indeed no one else left beside Bai Chonghuan.
If Liu Mu were here, she would at least complain a couple of times that his luck was too poor.
"This assassination, it really is one wave after another, endless."
That's right, Liu Mu did indeed receive news of the high wall assassination from the system at this time, and had to add a word of advice, "Throw the assassins outside the wall; they like Zombies so much, it would be a pity not to make them into one."
The doggy, having received the latest order, took action; as long as it wasn't standing still, bullets would at most break a few of its dog hairs, and then any assassin who approached was slapped off the wall one by one, the efficiency like dropping dumplings, leaving Bai Chonghuan stunned.
"Even Liu Mu's doggy is this awesome?"
Bai Chonghuan suspected that this big doggy named Niu Boyi was also a Mutation beast developed by the Barrier, not only powerful but also seemingly high in intelligence.
By the time the soldiers below, intent on saving the Division Commander, came up on the elevator, the assassins on the wall had all been slapped away by Niu Boyi, and they only had time to see their falling figures and hear their screams in the wind.
Zombies, it was impossible for them to become Zombies; from this height, they were smashed directly into meat paste.
Adjutant Zhang Lin had always known that Bai Chonghuan looked down on Liu Mu, and at this moment he couldn't help but pick bones out of an egg, "What's with this dog, not leaving a single living soul; do these people have a connection to its Master?"
'Where is your intelligence?' Bai Chonghuan looked at his adjutant who lacked vision, feeling a regret that he had trusted the wrong person.
"Many thanks," he took the initiative to say to the big dog, "You saved my life; the Haiyang Base welcomes you at any time."
"Woof woof woof woof, my Master saved you first, why don't you mention that? Steel-y, woof woof, my Master is the amazing one!" Niu Boyi understood human speech, but humans couldn't understand dog language.
Bai Chonghuan felt the doggy must be saying something to him, and decided to further express his friendliness, "I will have people prepare more food for you, better than the minced meat Liu Mu gives you, and dog food too. If you are willing to stay at our base, I guarantee you can eat your fill every day, how about it?"
Niu Boyi shook its head and turned to look for its Dog Food.
Are you kidding, what dog food could be better than the doggy food Big Sister makes? Hmph, a real doggy never eats artificial dog food!
It, Niu Boyi, is not someone just anyone can pet!
Such a cocky doggy even rolled its eyes at Adjutant Zhang Lin.
Finding that its Dog Food hadn't been knocked over, it squeezed people aside with its butt and lay back down to eat.
Exercising in the middle of a meal makes one even hungrier.
"Well, that," Bai Chonghuan probably never thought he would one day be rejected by a dog, "Have the cafeteria add more food for Niu Boyi, use the best meat."
Seeing the Adjutant's reluctant expression, he kicked Zhang Lin in the butt, "Go!"
Can I have a little face in front of a dog?
Liu Mu could 'see' Niu Boyi's experiences through the system, laughing out loud during her boring patrol, and told the doggy to eat its fill at the base and not to be polite with Bai Chonghuan.
A life-saving dog, this bit of welfare was only natural.
【Host, detected that there is a network line available in the Haiyang City area; shall I connect to it to expand the search range by several times?】
During the time Bai Chonghuan was struggling to deal with the assassination and finally saved by her dog, Liu Mu had completed the search of another area.
"There is a network signal?" Having been in contact with Heitao A for so long, Liu Mu already understood its operating functions and methods, "How do I connect?"
【Need to obtain network access permission from the Haiyang Base signal station; you are not there, I can apply to them through Niu Boyi. Shall I execute?】
While the Mecha consumed energy, it also consumed Liu Mu's Mental Power; she wiped the sweat, "Execute it; if I could directly scan the whole city, I wouldn't be so tired."
Just as she finished speaking, on the high wall, Niu Boyi sneezed.
The group, having just escaped danger, were like birds startled by the mere twang of a bowstring, all looking at the doggy in unison, and then they collectively raised their guns.
A tall man wearing a black tailcoat took off the silk top hat of the same color on his head and nodded in greeting, "Everyone, I am the Super Intelligent System Heitao A of the Haicheng Barrier, now applying to connect to the Haiyang Base network terminal, in order to achieve the goal of Commander Liu Mu quickly completing the area search. May I connect?"
