Chapter 224
Little Yun, this is the mission.
As an 'Odd Soldier', you need to slip into the enemy's logistics during the gap between the two sides' battle and destroy their nuclear demolition device.
Can you do it?
I can!
Yunxiao firmly nodded, aiming to overthrow the New Federation and personally avenge her parents; that is also her purpose.
Right now, to find her parents' true whereabouts, cooperating with Yuan Lao is the best choice.
Analysis: the danger level of the mission target is very high.
But, for us, we are fully capable.
Miss, you need to infiltrate the logistics from the west base in your human form; I will rush to help when you need it.
Please be sure to bring all kinds of machinist weapons in advance and pay attention to safety as much as possible.
Yunxiao nodded, donned her self-made equipment, and her mission was about to begin.
Soon after, Yunxiao's figure appeared in a dense forest; she looked up at the enormous military structure and took a deep breath.
'Calm... calm...'
'Think about what I should do now...'
This is Yunxiao's first time leaving 118, going alone to accomplish a certain objective.
Saying she isn't nervous is false; speaking of her qualifications as an Iron Guard, she is absolutely unqualified.
As long as 118 is by her side, Yunxiao feels endless security, a habit formed since childhood.
She is like a young eagle that has never left its nest; now is the time for her to fly for the first time herself.
Taking another deep breath, Yunxiao skillfully began to inspect the mechanical equipment on her body.
"Floating cannons... normal."
"Combat rifle... normal."
"Jet engine... normal."
"Time to set off."
Yunxiao's body was light and agile as she ran toward the huge structure above; after scouting, she found a good infiltration point.
"Infiltration successful!"
Yunxiao whispered a cheer, looking ahead at the logistics area crowded with patrolling soldiers, and the things 118 had instructed came to mind.
"Miss, such a dangerous infiltration plan is actually not absolutely covert."
"When you destroy the mission target, your whereabouts will definitely be exposed, and then you will surely be hunted by many."
"Before that, you could also just kill your way through; as the saying goes, if you kill fast enough, the news won't get out."
Yunxiao pondered the meaning of those few sentences, and seemed to understand quite a bit.
"So it really can be done this way."
From Yunxiao's exoskeleton backpack behind her, a detection drone automatically flew out and thoroughly scanned the shape of the entire room here.
To destroy that ultimate target, she needs to pass through the control room from here, then turn left and descend, break through four or five security checkpoints, and only then can she reach the depths completely.
"Target locked, preparing to begin the assault..."
The next moment, countless floating cannons surged out like bees leaving the hive; though tiny, each had enough power to kill a person.
Immediately after, a ghost-like silhouette appeared; many didn't even get to see her clear form before losing consciousness.
After a brief commotion, the originally spacious hall instantly fell silent, as if nothing had happened at all.
Yunxiao's body was spotless with no blood; for a fifth-realm machinist, assigning her to this mission was actually overkill.
Compared to the insect disaster, humans are far more fragile; a fifth-realm machinist here is like a tiger entering a chicken coop, let alone Yunxiao who is also a smart-machinist.
Meanwhile, in the distance, 118 wasn't idle either; he and Yunxiao were linked via comms, so he saw everything around him just as clearly, and right near Yunxiao, on an inconspicuous floating cannon, everything could be seen in full.
At this moment, 118 looked at Yunxiao's face full of disbelief, and his Logic Core couldn't help but well up with an extremely helpless emotion.
Although he had trained Yunxiao many times, the gap between Yunxiao and Yun Sheng, that madman who fought his way up step by step, is still huge.
There's no helping it; originally, as a super genius, Yunxiao should have cultivated an invincible heart, should have swept the world unopposed, and then possessed an arrogant personality matching her name.
You see, Yunxiao Yunxiao—this name sounds like it ought to belong to someone arrogant, but who would have thought its bearer would turn into a little coward?
Yunxiao is just too unlucky, constantly getting beaten down, again and again; now she's become whatever sort of coward, and 118 would gladly call her the ultimate loser king.
Meanwhile, Yunxiao has already passed through the second room and found the shortest route to the target point.
However, the bad news is that Yunxiao's movements were still detected, and there will likely be many dangers awaiting her on the road ahead.
Time ticked by; Yunxiao pressed forward relentlessly, seemingly regaining some confidence, and her awareness of her own strength grew ever clearer.
After a period of harsh lurking, she finally arrived at this operation's main target point: the nuclear destruction device.
It is a wide-area destructive weapon; once it successfully locks onto a target and operates for a period, everything within the locked range will be directly annihilated.
This powerful weapon is also one of the new Federation's top-secret technologies; relying on it, the new Federation can have sufficient confidence even without mecha.
Boom!!!!
With the tremendously violent explosion sound coming, even the ground shook noticeably, and at the same time a figure rushed out quickly.
Amid the firelight of the explosion, Yunxiao curled her legs, covered her head with her arms, and burst out instantly from the black smoke.
Gunfire rang out continuously around; after a moment of dazed confusion, the enemies realized what had happened.
In an instant, large numbers of soldiers and the Federation's inferior mecha kept rushing toward this place.
That's right; not only did Old Yuan develop mecha capable of resisting smart-machine invasion, but the Federation also developed them.
However, they weren't created using that genius "spaghetti code" solution; instead, they were inferior copies made by mimicking the traits of serial mecha.
At the same time, the "Iron Guard" pilots operating these mecha now are completely on a different level from the Iron Guard of before.
In short, they are no match for Yunxiao.
I have completed the objective! Request support!
Behind Yunxiao, several gray Mechas had already marched with heavy steps chasing her; now it's time for 118 to appear.
Received.
Miss, please wait at the indicated position; I will land there.
Before that, please protect yourself.
Looking at the relentless enemies behind her, Yunxiao's jet engines were about to smoke.
Meanwhile, her two long legs kept running nonstop, but no matter how she ran, she couldn't outrun the Mechas behind her with engines.
Damn legs! Run fast!!!
Yunxiao felt adrenaline surge inside her; such a stimulating scene made her inexplicably feel a wave of pleasure.
Kill her!
Behind her, artillery fire rained down, the sound of Mechas stomping the ground grew ever closer; fortunately, Yunxiao also reached the designated spot.
At this moment, Yunxiao suddenly stopped, provocatively turning back to look at the Mechas right in front of her; the confidence on her face left them puzzled.
Take her down!
In the next moment, a bright red Mecha suddenly descended from the sky, kicking up a lot of dirt, instantly blocking in front of the surrounding Mechas.
A huge, heavy steel blade crackling with arcs rose up, pointing at the surrounding gray Mechas.
Leave Yunxiao.
