Chapter 1963 Capture in Huguang (32)

Vivien asked like this, and the whole world suddenly fell silent. In addition to the sound of machinery and the thunderclap of electricity, the scene was filled with unusual silence.

Until a sinister laugh broke the silence.

"Woohoo Woo ------"

The voice seemed to come from [Explorer].

Someone opened the explorer's only door and poked their head out from within. The guy was a thin middle-aged man with long black hair and most of his face covered in a hood. His crimson hooded robes, as if stained with blood, were filled with an atmosphere of disgust and unease.

"Cardinal Slok of the Great Britain Branch of the Order of Twilight, it is an honor to meet you. The thin middle-aged man said, "But unfortunately, we can't stay long." This dangerous machine that could threaten Master Morgan, we took it away unceremoniously. ＂

"Phew, do you think you'll be able to escape?" Vivien sneered, "[The Explorer] will be at least twenty minutes away from fully charging enough power to start. Even if you can get it activated, the Golem Guards in my institute will be enough to stop you!"

"Is that really the case?" the thin cardinal continued to sneer, and a glowing golden shadow appeared behind him. And the light from [Explorer] is getting brighter and brighter, as if the power is about to be charged!

"That's ......! Could it be!" Vivien recognized the golden shadow behind Srock. Isn't that golden glowing thing the Raiden Slime she's fought before? That thing has a special ability to absorb electricity!

"That's right, it's the one you think of [shouldn't be]. The cardinal sneered, "[Pam] has already absorbed a large amount of backup power from your institute, and it is enough to use it to charge the ship, which is now close to being fully charged and ready to start." You can't stop us, Lady Vivien!"

The succubus frowned, and suddenly shouted quietly, "Guard!"

Dozens of grooves suddenly appeared in the research room, and a large number of golem-specific transport ladders rose from the grooves, and a large group of golems began to activate from the transport ladders, pouring out, and within a few seconds, they surrounded the activated [Explorer]!

"Stop it! don't let that thing escape my lab!" Vivien ordered.

The golems were ordered by their master to move together almost without delay, rushing over to stop the Explorer. Each of these golems is a full ten feet tall, with durable Mithril-reinforced armor and powerful photon engines, each capable of generating thousands of horsepower!

However------

"You're underestimating the ship's performance, Lady Vivien. The cardinal sneered, "[Pam], increase the power output to the maximum!"

The golden shadow behind him flickered in response to the part that looked like a human head. Then the light on it suddenly became violent.

Vivien's research institute has three power systems, and two of the slime monsters that attacked the power system were cleaned up by Vivian, and this should be another slime monster that Vivien had never encountered, and it absorbed the power of another backup power source from the moment it attacked the research institute. At least an hour has passed since the start of the power outage at the institute. And Vivien's research institute's power supply system is originally industrial-grade, even the backup power supply can generate a very large amount of electricity in a very short period of time, for the entire research institute to use! In this rough calculation, the amount of electricity sucked by this slime monster in this hour is probably an astronomical amount!

And this astronomical amount of electricity, being used on the [Explorer] to override, to maximize its potential, will make the ship's output extremely terrifying! The frantically operating [Explorer] actually outperformed the group of guard golems in terms of output, and began to force its way despite the golems' obstruction!

"Unbelievable...... Vivien muttered under her breath. The combined output of all the guard golems couldn't withstand the power of the engine overriding the Explorer, which was completely unexpected for her!

"Hahaha, goodbye then!" Cardinal Srock retracted half of his body into the hatch and closed the explorer's only door. The medium-sized exploration ship then ran over Vivien and Lianyin, smashing through the walls of the research room, forcing them to break through and escape from the research institute!

"Danger!" Lianyin saw that Vivian was still stunned, so she took the initiative to pull Vivian away------ she couldn't watch the succubus being crushed by the Explorer, but she didn't do anything!

The ship had already burst through the thickened and magically strengthened walls of the research room, as easily as a fragile piece of paper! At least a third of the golems responsible for blocking the ship were directly in front of the ship, but they were directly crushed into scrap metal by the impact, and some of them were even rolled into the steel tracks underneath the ship, and were flattened by the weight of the ship, becoming as smooth as a piece of paper!

"You made it so strong?" Lianyin couldn't help but ask, in fact, there was something in the words.

"There's no point in not doing it like this. Vivien replied, too.

Unconvinced, Lianyin raised her hand and fired an ice arrow, and it was a powerful ice arrow of extra large size, and the spike made of ice was as big as a cow! However, this ice arrow hit the sturdy hull of the Explorer, and it didn't even cause a single scratch! They seemed to be able to watch the ship wreak havoc in the research institute, but there was nothing they could do to stop its progress!

"That's right, Track!" Vivien also raised her hand to cast a spell that shot fireball in the direction of the Track. The hot fireball is pale blue, with a high temperature of thousands of degrees, and normally it can easily dissolve or even evaporate the steel, and it should be able to stop, or at least delay the ship's progress!

However, it was useless, the fireball dispersed and disappeared the moment it touched the track, but the heat could not be conveyed properly, and it seemed to be blocked by some powerful force field.

"Damn, has even the ship's shroud system been cracked?" Vivien snorted, "Who hacked the ship's system?

Both the Succubus and Partimore were helpless against the fleeing ship, and the Explorer had already broken through the walls of the institute with an unstoppable force, forcing its way out!

"Damn------, ahh

"Whew. In the control room of the ship, Cardinal Slok sneered and ordered a young man in a black robe with countless shackles beside him, "Keep going." As soon as we left the Institute's main sphere of influence, we detonated the system here. ＂

"No way. The Institute's system is self-contained and not connected to the regional network. "The boy was almost completely entangled in shackles or rags, except for a slit in his eyes.

He looked at his commander with a slit in his eyes, and replied, "When we boarded the ship, we were cut off from that separate system, and we could only control this ship." ＂

Slok smacked his lips: "That's fine." If you can't detonate the research institute, bombard it with the ship's main guns, and do as much damage as you can!"

"It's even more unlikely. The boy in charge of the control system turned to look at the cardinal: "This ship doesn't have any weapons systems on board. It can only be moved now. ＂

Srock was silent for half a second, then slapped the young man in the face: "Useless thing...... Forget it! Full speed ahead and get out of this institute as soon as possible!"

＂...... Yes, sir. The boy replied in a low voice, seemingly reluctant, but he had to comply. He controlled the ship's systems, allowing it to force its way through the walls of the institute at maximum output, heading diagonally upwards towards the holographic projection of the artificial lake outside the institute.

"Hey, it's all ruined!" On the side of the research room, Lianyin couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the research institutes that had been forcibly knocked out of large hollows. [The Explorer] forced its way forward, and the damage it did to Vivien's research was devastating.

"It's okay," Vivien said thoughtfully, looking at the devastation left by the exploration ship, her eyes quietly burning with vengeful rage, "they were perfectly fooled, and that's right." My acting skills are okay, right?"

"You're a comedy queen. Lianyin replied.

"Why does that sound a bit harsh?" Vivien laughed suddenly.

"I'm just telling the truth. Lianyin smiled bitterly and said, "What's [damnable, ahhh

Vivien's face flushed with embarrassment, and although the flush disappeared in an instant, she quickly regained her original nobility and coldness.

"Let's go. There's still a lot to do. She said.

"Okay. Lianyin agreed, and followed Vivien towards the location where the [Explorer] had been moored.

There, beneath the grim field where countless golems fell to the ground and were crushed to scrap metal, there was a switch that was brilliantly hidden.

Vivien flipped the switch. Under the dock there is a lift, a simple engineering elevator that can be used by six people at the same time.

Vivien and Lianyin descended the elevator and soon reached the hidden, real dock. In the midst of the darkness, the real [Explorer] was well preserved, and it was not defiled by the cultists.

The stolen Fake Explorer was a trap, a bait for the Twilight cultists to fish.

The real hunt begins.
