Chapter 93

With a loud boom, a flash of light that almost illuminated half the night sky flashed past the window. The Neanderthal old man tightly gripped the slender, cone-shaped "Blood Spike" and frowned, saying, "Damn! It's not just us! We're in big trouble!"

With both psychics and optical camouflage equipment appearing, the enemy who dared to attack the 911 Air勤 Base must have more than just a few tricks up their sleeve.

One could even say, the battle has just begun.

The entire 911 Air勤 Base probably never expected the attack from the Miman Brothers United Defense Consortium to come so quickly. Just two hours after declaring a corporate war against the Tienqi Defense Group, the attack began, and it was a night raid.

The "Tower Raid" tactic was quite clever, aiming to destroy the main power source of the 911 Air勤 Base at the first opportunity, cutting off the power supply to various equipment, not just radar, communication, and command systems, but also the air defense systems.

"Should we go help?"

Chen Fei was eager to try.

System: Ding! Evolution Sample 1 established, Reward Energy Points +1 (Newbie Task)

System: Kill ten people within 24 hours, Gain 200 Energy Points (Task not completed on time, Death!)

Well, what a great omen, getting exactly what I wished for!

Such a deadly task just pops up like this.

Lying low is definitely the right choice!

Come on, do it yourself!

"Don't rush, wait a moment!"

Barut shook his head, listening to the commotion outside while quickly checking the two men killed by the "Blood Spike."

Outside the steel-framed shed, gunshots and explosions intermingled, turning the high ground where the air勤 base was located into a chaotic scene.

Once a guardian of the Third Epoch Civilization's Supreme Council, Barut was intimately familiar with combat and war, knowing exactly what to do and making preparations in a split second.

"Optical camouflage and dark psychics, that was a close call!"

Barut found two automatic silenced weapons with optical camouflage, several magazines, and ten high-energy bombs, any one of which could disable the energy tower in the shed.

Even low-temperature fusion has slight radiation, but the internal safety mechanism of the Target Low-Temperature Fusion Energy Tower can reset the reaction components in the event of severe impact or malfunction, preventing the leakage of heavy water fuel.

"Chirp!"

The Light Sparrow, which had performed a great deed, flapped its small wings and flew out of its nest, landing on Chen Fei's shoulder.

"Great job, Chirp!"

Chen Fei rubbed the bird's head with his finger. The lower the rank of a magical beast, the more astonishing its growth can be when it suddenly obtains high-level resources. He didn't expect it to master new skills so quickly and help out so much.

Chirp made a series of short, loud sounds.

Although the bird couldn't speak, its emotions could be discerned from the changes in its chirping, and it was clearly very happy!

Seeing Chen Fei playing with the bird, Barut felt he had overthought things before.

If someone were devious, how could they repeatedly put themselves in danger? A wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall, but this young man had nearly lost his life several times. Such a person is either a chosen one or a great hero.

Bang!

A dazzling blue lightning bolt streaked across the sky above the steel-framed shed.

The Target Low-Temperature Fusion Energy Tower emitted a series of crackling sounds, sparks flew from the control panel, all the lights went out instantly, and the air was filled with a burnt smell.

"ID: 2333!"

The previously dark fluorescent tube display lit up.

Even the main control display of the energy tower, which had survived the gunfire, was now pitch black.

"Code 2333, it's electromagnetic pulse damage, that was an EMP."

Barut immediately recognized the fault information displayed on the fluorescent tube.

The attacker's Plan B!

It was clear that the dark psychic with two optical camouflage warriors had failed in their assault on the energy tower, and all were wiped out. Instead of sending more people to jump into this bottomless pit, they simply launched an EMP, disabling everyone's electronic devices. The remaining functionality would be left to chance.

The Target Low-Temperature Fusion Energy Tower, which could withstand close-range small arms fire, finally died. After losing its main control system, sensor system, and outer safety system, the safety mechanism was triggered, and the mechanical devices automatically reset the reaction components, stopping the fusion reaction and rapidly reducing the power output. The main structure, however, was not significantly damaged.

While the fusion reaction in the energy tower could ensure a stable power output, once the fusion reaction stopped, it could not restart on its own. This meant that until the manufacturer arrived with the ignition device, the entire 911 Air勤 Base would face a power shortage, even though there were backup power systems, they could not compare to the continuous power supply of the low-temperature fusion energy tower.

The ideal state of a low-temperature fusion energy tower is to operate continuously from the first ignition until it is scrapped. The fusion reaction would not stop as long as the service life did not end, and even maintenance and replacement of reaction components during operation would not require a pause in the fusion reaction.

Each ignition requires a significant amount of energy.

The use of crystal energy blocks has reduced the size and weight of the ignition device.

"Should we stay here?"

Chen Fei looked at the now dark energy tower. He and the old man Barut were here to protect this thing.

After being hit by an EMP, the energy tower had lost its tactical value.

His second-hand old phone and health band were also fried, but since they were cheap, he didn't mind. The laptop and tablet left in his dorm would lose only local data, mostly personal settings, with most data still stored in remote cloud storage.

Once he got a new computer, he could easily restore everything to its original state, thanks to cloud technology.

"Chirp!"

A ball of light appeared on his shoulder, with a ping-pong ball-sized light orb suspended in front of Chirp's beak.

In the nearby nest, the third-rank light magical beast's crystal core also emitted a soft white light, replacing the lighting.

"Chirp is so well-behaved!"

Seeing this, the Neanderthal old man Barut smiled and said, "Since there's nothing to do here, let's go out and take a look. I'll go in front, you follow behind, and Chirp stays here; it's too attention-grabbing."

The Light Sparrow, like a small light bulb, would easily attract attacks in the night. For low-rank magical beasts, human firearms were still too dangerous.

Chen Fei immediately caught the lively bird and put it back in the nest, hiding it in a corner and covering it to block the light from the crystal core. This way, even if someone else came in, they wouldn't discover the bird or the million-starlight-valued light magical beast crystal core.

"Grandpa Barut, I'll go in front, you follow behind!"

After settling the bird, Chen Fei rushed to the door, gave a hand signal, and pushed the door open.

Outside, there were 200 energy points waiting for him to collect.

It takes a ton of metal to get one energy point, high risk, high reward. The 200 energy points from the death task were very cost-effective.

Bang!

Chen Fei fell to the ground, lying flat again!

"Ah! I'm dead! There's a sniper!"

System: Ding! Absorbed 49.21 grams of alloy, composition ratio: 75% tungsten, 10% copper, 8% iron, 5% manganese.

"Kid, how are you?"

Barut was startled.

"Still okay!"

Lying on the ground, Chen Fei began to doubt his life. Caught off guard, he was hit directly in the chest by a bullet, nearly losing his breath.

Metal psychics are metal psychics, but can they not be so painful?

What does "still okay" mean?

The Neanderthal old man couldn't understand, but it didn't sound like anything serious. His old body moved like a nimble leopard, leaping onto the steel columns and beams, reaching the top of the shed, pushing aside a corner of the vent, and slipping out.

Amidst the gunfire, a faint scream could be heard.

Barut pulled the "dead dog" Chen Fei up with the "Blood Spike."

"The sniper is dead, it's safe now."

"Ah, Grandpa, let's continue?"

Chen Fei dusted himself off and continued to push the boundaries of death.
