Chapter 320 Old Enemy Lauster

"He's gone."

A text message with no beginning or end, just three simple words, appeared in Naden's mobile phone. Seeing this message, Naden breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, Naden was wearing a reflective vest with the "PPDC" logo, a safety helmet on his head, holding a metal box in his hand, and standing in a speedboat.

He chose not to enter the Broken Dome through the main entrance.

He and several disguised monster followers walked up the ramp on the north side of the base to the barge dock, where a few low-level technicians were repainting loaders.

Further ahead was a hangar with its door open. They approached slowly, the technicians glanced at them, and an older red-haired middle-aged woman looked at them.

"Are you here to repair the ventilation fan?"

Naden nodded, and he calmly lifted up his sleeves and turned up his wrist. The woman took out a small ultraviolet flashlight and shone it on him. A monster symbol dyed with fluorescent paint appeared on the wrist of the black snake Naden.

"Go inside and go through the seventh door on the left."

She ordered.

"OK."

The blockade of Shattered Dome has not yet been lifted, but this blockade is mainly internal rather than external. With the help of insiders, Naden quickly entered the interior of the Shattered Dome base.

Naden led a few companions to the back of the hangar and saw the door that the middle-aged woman mentioned. The door opened immediately, and behind the door was a long corridor.

At the end of the long corridor, there are several forks and a particularly narrow passage leading to different areas of the Broken Dome's core infrastructure.

Of course, it is not an energy center or something like that, but it is responsible for the air circulation and management of various areas of the dome, wastewater treatment, and control of various cooling systems, so that the dome will not suffer from abnormally high temperatures due to the use of multiple energy sources.

The black snake Naden enters the Broken Dome base for the first time.

This is a magnificent cave.

The lights overhead were dim, but as they made their way down the hallway, they passed neatly arranged rows of giant mecha parts—a huge assembled arm here, a giant engine over there that pulled cables that served as tendons inside the mecha.

Along the ceiling hung a circle of cranes and head restraints, suspended tightly from a track that led, along with the ceiling, to a higher level.

This is the mecha equipment area.

Several other monster believers left in different directions and acted separately.

Naden found a secluded place, squatted down, opened the box, and took out his equipment one by one:

A crossbow, some darts, two samurai swords, a black tight-fitting special combat suit with a mask and hood...

Naden quickly changed his clothes, then pressed the button on his waist. The scene behind him was projected in front of him by active optical camouflage. His figure gradually flickered and blurred until it disappeared.

…

In the office, Marshal Panticost and General Quan were talking.

"Student Zofia Boleslaw, according to our knowledge, has close ties with Dr. Fu Shan in private, and both were recommended by Shaw Industries. Do we need to interrogate her?"

General Quan asked.

Marshal Pantecost rubbed his brows in embarrassment.

"She is a good seedling. I am very sure that she is the best student in the history of Hunter Academy. It's not just her skills, her willpower, her control, and her genuine love for driving a mecha hunter... Damn it, why did you let me make such a choice?"

"Never mind." Pantecost lowered his arms.

"Call her over here. I'll talk to her myself."

…

K-Science Laboratory.

Naden had a blank expression on his face as he patiently wiped the small amount of blood off his katana and invisibility cloak.

Beside him, Dr. Newton and Dr. Herman had already fallen in a pool of blood. At this moment, Naden's ears moved slightly and he heard the hurried footsteps coming from outside the laboratory door.

Hmm?

Naden was slightly stunned, thinking about something in his mind, and then he lay down to take a look. There was a black box attached to the bottom of the laboratory table, and a small red light on the box was flashing continuously.

The target pressed the secret alarm device before dying.

Naden cursed inwardly, but was not in a hurry. He pulled out the crossbow that was stuck in the side of his leg, turned on a screen on the side of the crossbow, and reached out of the door of the laboratory. The screen showed several uniformed soldiers who were rushing in, holding various firearms.

Naden pulled the trigger.

"call out!"

The crossbow arrow shot straight out, drawing an arc in the air. There was no need to aim, it automatically chased the locked target. The leading soldier heard a "swish" and a crossbow arrow was already stuck in his chest. Then there was a flash of fire, and the crossbow arrow suddenly exploded.

"boom!"

…

On the other side, Zofia was asked to go to Marshal Panticost's office. Just as she reached the door, she suddenly heard the alarm ringing in the entire base.

"Ding-ling-ling..."

Was there a fire or an explosion?

This was Zofia's first reaction.

Suddenly, she found that everyone around her was in a panic, shouting in fear and fleeing in haste... Zofia turned her head and saw, to her surprise, that at the end of the passage, two samurai swords were flying in the air, suddenly piercing through the chest of an engineer, and suddenly slashing through the neck of a controller, accurately slaughtering technicians one after another.

Zofia's eyes widened.

It was not until the other party approached that Zofia could see clearly. It turned out to be a blurry figure holding two samurai swords. When his movements became faster, his figure would appear faintly.

The last technician fell, and the sound of assimilation points reward that kept ringing in Naden's ears finally stopped. He looked at the girl standing at the door of the office, slowly lifted the invisible state, sighed, lowered the hilt of the knife, and said:

"Zofia."

"Naden!"

Zofia exclaimed:

"You belong to the pioneer camp."

Naden looked up at the office nameplate behind Zofia, nodded slightly, and said:

"That's right. Since we were once in the same camp and teammates for a period of time, I won't kill you. Just leave on your own and don't get in my way."

Behind it is Marshal Pantecost's office.

"No!"

Zofia exclaimed.

Then he opened his arms and stood in front of Naden:

"I can't let you in!"

Zofia knew very well that if Marshal Pantecost died, the PPDC would be in chaos. Even if his successor was finally selected, it would inevitably take a lot of time, and the nuclear attack wormhole plan would inevitably be stranded...

What's more, looking at Naiden's current posture, it is unknown whether Marshal Pantecost's successor, the future Secretary-General of PPDC, Mako Mori, is still alive.

Hearing Zofia's firm refusal.

Naden's eyes turned cold: "Are you sure?"

Zofia's MK2 Cavalry Assault Rifle was not in the Shattered Dome Base at the moment, but even with that big gun in her hands, Zofia would probably not be a match for Naden.

"I'm not even going to let a student protect me!"

There was a roar behind him, and a tall figure in military uniform suddenly opened the door and rushed out with a pistol in hand.

However, before he could aim and pull the trigger, two darts spun past Zofia's face, cutting off a few strands of hair, and instantly pierced into Marshal Panticost's shoulder and General Quan's chest, knocking them both to the ground.

Blood oozed from their military uniforms, and the two men curled up on the floor in pain.

"Naden!"

After a brief panic, Zofia shouted,

"Let me remind you that Qingshan is also on the human side. Have you forgotten how you won the big plot event in the Marvel Comics Universe? Are you sure you want to go against him?"

Naden paused and said slowly:

"I know, but the randomly assigned camps in the reincarnation world are different. What can I do?"

Zofia stared at Naden and said,

"There is a way. Stop now and spare the remaining people in the Broken Dome Base and these key plot characters. I promise you on behalf of Qingshan that he will forgive the past."

Naden looked puzzled:

"You want me to betray my own camp?"

Zofia's voice was cold, but her momentum was not weak at all:

"Yes, that's what I mean. If you insist on killing them, I will tell Qingshan to kill you every time he sees you in every reincarnation. If you have the guts, don't ever meet him again."

Naden's movements froze, and he was obviously a little scared:

"You are too overbearing."

"His strength is there, so of course he is qualified to do so. The perfect human wanted bounty is 8,000 assimilation points, and that's just for the first life. Just think about his strength. It is said that the Order-Maintaining Alliance is considering putting him on the personal combat power rankings, but they gave up because they are not sure about his specific abilities."

Zofia made up a bunch of half-true and half-false information, and threatened:

"Think carefully about who are the reincarnations on your side, and who is more worth offending?"

Zofia is taking a complete gamble.

What if Naden's side is the Four Great Samsara Societies? They must be more powerful than Aoyama, but Zofia knew it was impossible when she saw Naden's hesitation.

"You, you, what is your relationship with Qingshan? I have already killed several key characters in the plot. Why can you promise me on his behalf that you will never hold me accountable for what happened?"

Naden stuttered, pointing at Zofia and asked.

He was obviously tempted, but still hesitant.

Zofia said calmly:

"I slept with him."

"Huh?" Naden looked at him with a look of "are you kidding me?"

"What does having sex prove?"

Naden thought: Everyone has a few friends these days.

Zofia was unsure and couldn't explain it clearly, so she just put on an impatient look and said:

"Believe it or not, if you turn over a new leaf now, you still have a chance of survival. Otherwise, you will die!"

Naden was really hesitant because of what she said.

Finally, Naden turned his head to look at Marshal Panticost and General Quan behind Zofia. The two men were still covering their wounds and slowly put down their samurai swords.

Zofia's words of persuasion seemed to be successful.

"boom--"

Just then, a huge explosion was heard.

The violent vibration spread along the passage, causing the dust above everyone's heads to fall down, the floor to rise up with a bang, and cracks on the wall to gradually spread inch by inch.

Panticost, who was lying on the ground, turned his head and looked.

The sound undoubtedly came from the mecha equipment area.

"With such a huge explosion, did you bring in a tactical nuclear bomb?"

Pantecost's eyes were dull and he muttered to himself.

Naden was also surprised.

In his impression, the other monster believers only sneaked in with a backpack that was not particularly large. How could they cause such a huge explosion?

It turned out that they had a backup plan, and I was just a cover?

Naden seemed to understand something.

Lauster, is all this what you expected

?

The ceiling above the passage began to fall off, large chunks of concrete slabs fell to the ground, dust rose, cracks in the walls intensified, and a "creaking" sound was heard. The explosions continued, and low rumbles continued to come from deep inside the base, which seemed to have triggered some kind of chain reaction.

No, such a huge explosion is going to bury me. I am not even a cover. I am just a pawn!

Naden understood it instantly.

He and Zofia looked at each other.

The two men bent over to support each other, and each of them carried a wounded person and ran hurriedly out of the passage.

…

The private plane was flying steadily above the clouds, with the Shaw Industries logo printed on its white fuselage.

"Buzz buzz buzz…"

The phone began to vibrate. Fu Qinghai picked it up and saw that it was a call from Zofia, so he answered it and put it to his ear:

"Hello?"

"Qingshan, it's over, it's all over..."

Zofia's hurried voice was heard on the other end of the phone. The girl was panting and speaking intermittently.

As Fu Qinghai listened, his eyes widened.

"I see."

Muttering to himself.

He finally understood that this was where the problem lay.

It's also my fault that I've been too obsessed and immersed in the research of mecha structure during this period, almost neglecting sleep and food, and have lost my previous sensitive sense of smell and sharp thinking... So that's how it is. It's really a brilliant move.

Fu Qinghai's mind worked quickly and he figured out a lot of things in an instant.

The training mecha "Eden Assassin" went out of control.

This seemingly inexplicable accident did not cause any damage to PPDC's facilities and personnel - two trainees and three controllers died, and part of the wall of the Broken Dome was damaged, but it was not a serious injury.

But he came for Fu Qinghai!

The real purpose is to remind PPDC that there is a monster believer inside your Broken Dome Base, and you need to restart the identity and background investigation. Once the investigation is started, some things will be exposed after a thorough investigation.

But the real ghost is still hidden among them.

"Laust, Naden told me that the leading player of the opposing camp is named Laost..."

Zofia's voice was mixed with a hiss of pain:

"According to him, Laust is an alchemist and Sith warrior, and he is very powerful..."

What a bullshit! I can kill him with just one chainsaw sword.

Hearing that familiar name, Fu Qinghai couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Zofia continued,

"The other party's gathering place is in the Forgotten Cemetery in San Francisco. There is a secret camp hidden there..."

Forgotten Cemetery, San Francisco.

Fu Qinghai listened silently.

Until the call was hung up.

Then he swiped the screen of his phone, unlocked a hidden button, and a message appeared:

"Remote link established successfully. Current location locked. We are coming at full speed. Estimated arrival time..."

"Five minutes and thirty-seven seconds later."

Fu Qinghai threw the phone back into the white suitcase, leaned back in his chair, waited patiently for a while, picked up the champagne in front of him and drank it in one gulp, then pressed the call bell next to the reclining seat.

The flight attendant came over quickly, leaned over and asked softly,

"Hello, sir, how can I help you?"

"I'm a little bored, can you help me open the hatch?"

Fu Qinghai looked up and asked.

The stewardess' smile froze and she said hesitantly:

"Sir, please don't joke..."

Fu Qinghai shook his head, took out a small and peculiarly shaped pistol from his white briefcase, stood up, pushed the stewardess away, and walked straight to the cabin door.

"No, no, sir, we are currently in the troposphere 13,000 meters above the ground! Mr. Fu Shan, stop immediately, you are drunk!"

The stewardess screamed in fear behind me.

Fu Qinghai smashed the glass of the emergency knob with a punch, reached in, pressed the red handle and turned it.

"Crack...Swish, whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

As the door popped out and slid back, a violent gust of wind instantly rushed into the cabin, turning the neat and luxurious business jet cabin into a mess, with papers flying everywhere and the wine cabinet toppling over...

Fu Qinghai stood in front of the cabin door, the strong wind rustling his clothes. Finally, he turned around to look at the stewardess and said:

"Feel sorry."

After saying that, he took a step forward.

With a whoosh, he disappeared from sight in an instant.

The stewardess sat on the ground with her eyes wide open.

He… He didn't even have a parachute on his back!

The next second, the stewardess turned her head and saw, outside the porthole on the side of the cabin, a black-gold power armor, with a long tail of flame and trail, quickly crossed the sky and disappeared into the white clouds.
