The first group consisted of six people.

Their task was to lurk around the center's primary control system, wait for a signal from Barnes, and then move on to it.

And judging from the current situation, at least the detection system of the Immortal Bird Headquarters has not detected the infiltration of outsiders for the time being.

……

Zach waited with the other ten people at the entrance.

……

Barnes entered the energy channel.

About twenty minutes passed.

Zach received the corresponding signal.

……

At this time, in the energy channel, Barnes has gone straight to the core control area at the bottom, and after the device is implanted in the corresponding information exchange layer, it begins to interfere with the connection between the core control layer and the primary control layer at the top.

The energy channel transmits an extremely terrifying amount of aggregate heat energy, which is only used to provide the heat cycle of the base.

At this time, Barnes's whole person was emitting a scorching scarlet light.

The armor on his body had been completely burned by the time he entered the energy channel.

He can't tear through the energy channel directly, but he can find the exact location of this layer and activate the interference device, which is not very difficult to operate.

The difficulty is that after losing all his auxiliary devices, he needs to find a way out of these intricate energy networks.

"I shouldn't have agreed to the ...... of this plan"

Barnes was immersed in the heat of the fusion.

Inside the energy channel, the entire force field was distorted, and to put it bluntly, he was now in a very turbulent thermal energy channel.

"Thirty-five degrees ......"

Barnes began to try to find another way out.

However, at this moment, a part of the aggregated energy behind him began to undergo a very strange distortion.

And by the time Barnes realized it, it was already a second too late.

A hand that looked like a crystal directly pressed Barnes's head, pressing him against the inner wall of the energy channel!

"Bang!"

Barnes held on to the inner wall of the passage, but he found that his strength was no match for the other party!

"Damn it!"

Out of the corner of his eye, he could clearly see what the huge device that had attacked him was.

It is a cyborg with a crystal structure all over its body.

However, in the previous plan, there was no mention of the existence of such a device in the energy channel.

What surprised Barnes even more was that the material of the other party's limbs was able to withstand the chaotic convergence of energy, and seemed to be able to use the energy for his own use......

“……”

Barnes took a deep breath (of course, there was no air in the tunnel.) ）

The scarlet energy from all over his body burst out, and violent fluctuations ignited on his broken arm.

The crystal cyborg was very suppressive, but Barnes didn't intend to rest on his laurels.

……

…

At the bottom of the passage, an unplanned battle has begun.

This was not envisaged in the prepared plan, neither Zach nor Rael Adam was lurking inside the Immortal Bird Company, and the mysterious person did not know that there were defenses in the energy channel.

So Barnes is in trouble.

But in fact, this crystal robot is not a pure defense device in nature, its main role is to carry out internal maintenance and repair, and the crystal core is an intelligent management system, with preset programs to work, and deal with all possible damage within the energy channel.

Barnes, who suddenly appeared in the energy channel, was judged by the system to be an unknown type of internal fault, so the crystal robot was now executing the repair command......

……

At this time, his teammates didn't know anything about it, and even if they did, they didn't have the duty to support, no matter what, Zach and them could only end up in the end of death when they entered the energy channel......

One group, having obtained the exact information, quickly launched an operation into the primary control area.

Although this can be summed up in just one sentence in terms of task steps, it is far from simple to execute.

The six members of a group encountered the staff inside the undead after they dispersed and quickly approached the control area, but the words of the staff alone were not enough to justify, but after they eliminated these system staff at a very fast speed, the real combat power still sensed their existence.

It's the caretaker.

The strange creatures, covered in protective suits, quickly moved into action.

Skirmishes unfold quickly at multiple locations on this level.

……

The second and third groups led by Zach have been lurking at the entrance, motionless.

That's the plan.

The task of a group can only be completed by the members of a group, and unless all six of them are dead, the second or third group will not expose their existence in advance.

Zach hid in the darkness, chewing gum as he watched the battle of a group of members in various locations through the virtual images projected in front of him from his communications device.

"Hmm...... It's funny. ”

He saw that some of the team members had very special talents.

Compared with ordinary people, these can also be classified as monsters, their physical strength far beyond the scope of humans, even beyond most mammals, and at the same time have a very high combat quality, the combat quality referred to here is not just the past army or killer kind of battle, but a full range of high-end technology with the blessing of a new way of fighting.

All the special equipment is well known to them.

This time, these people sent by Rael, any one of them is released, and they are all existences that can catch and fight with the creatures in the ark.

……

"But it's still such a waste of time."

Barnes frowned as he saw several members of the group being pestered by the guards.

The most critical requirement of the entire battle plan is coherence.

First of all, the group of fighters and mechfighters outside contained most of the opponent's combat power and attention, and then three groups of armed men entered the headquarters, one group went to open all the passages, and two or three groups followed closely behind to infiltrate the functional area below.

There must not be too long a gap between each part, otherwise the sacrifices made in the previous step will be meaningless.

What we have to fight for is the lag in the internal operation of the Immortal Bird Headquarters caused by this series of actions.

For example, if they are shelved on this level for too long now, once the external battlefield is over, the upper echelons of the Immortal Bird will call back most of their combat power, and then the entire operation will fail.

……

Skirmishes in three positions are continuing.

However, the nature of the guards is that they can't die, and their combat effectiveness may not be too terrifying, but they can't be killed in a short time.

At this point, the six-man team split into three positions, and a battle broke out around the primary control room.

Although the equipment is already very well-equipped, and it has been designed and improved by Zack, even if there are only two people, it can easily deal with more than ten guards.

However, the number of caretakers is increasing rapidly, and the isolation and defense system within the base is rapidly activated.

The energy-insulating plating layer by layer in the channel is woven together.

Obviously, the undead wanted to trap the members of the group in a space from which they could not escape, and then slowly deal with them.

……

"It's really ......"

Zach shook his head.

He activated a tiny computer on the back of his hand.

After identifying a group of several members on the screen, without hesitation, the option to confirm the destruction was clicked......

……

In an instant, the two battles around the primary control area were completely enveloped in terrifying flames, and even the surrounding walls and energy isolation plating did not withstand the violent energy collision and cracked.

After the fire raged, all the guards turned to black ash, and the group that surrounded them were killed.

In two of the three battle areas, violent explosions occurred, and the energy plating in the passage was shattered to varying degrees.

All the guards who have appeared so far have been destroyed.

There was only one battle left.

……

Zach nodded after confirming the effect of the explosion, and he picked up the communication of one of the two remaining members of the group, and opened his mouth to say, "Ready." ”

After saying that, he directly clicked on the computer screen on the back of his hand.

"Boom !!!"

……

A third explosion rang out in the middle of the floor.

The two groups were still dealing with a dozen heavily armed guards.

And the moment one of them received the phrase "ready" from Zack, he immediately activated a device on his body.

Then, his whole body melted into a cloud of black smoke.

In the next second, the teammates around him exploded directly, and the terrifying energy instantly engulfed the area.

The black smoke quickly passed through the cracks in these channels and energy plating formed by the three explosions, and rushed out like crazy.

His destination is still the Primary Control Zone.

……

…

And the initiator of all this, Zach behaved extremely calmly from beginning to end, and can even be said to be cold-blooded.

The act of detonating five of them, he did not hide the slightest.

The whole process was done in front of the other members of the second and third groups.

Surprisingly, these people knew what Zach was doing, but they didn't react at all, as if Zach was just doing what he was supposed to do.

……

But that's just the way it is.

The same is true for the real plan.

Zach had to do this when a group of people who hadn't succeeded in controlling the primary system for more than three minutes had opened all the lanes.

It's not a matter of haste, it's just that the original plan was just that.

Even, in order to kill the guards with the explosive power of these team members, Zack also made a lot of adjustments to the self-destruct system of the armed suit, and made special technical additions to the particularity of the guards.

……

…

As the only one left in the group, the Smoke Man is tasked with quickly passing through the energy plating cracks, entering the control area, and activating the passage.

And in fact, he did.

The explosion of the five team members completely destroyed the passage on this level.

The smoke man successfully infiltrated the control room that had been evacuated a long time ago, found the passages of all functional areas, and activated the passage isolation!

And the implantation of a virus, which will make the self-repair of the program by the base master system slower, and strive for more opportunities for subsequent actions.

……

"That's it."

Zach grinned.

At this point, all the isolation passages from the first floor to the ground floor are all unimpeded.

……

"Action."

Zach spat out the gum he had been chewing on for a long time.

At this point, all isolation systems inside the channel are temporarily stopped.

The group of them totaled eleven people, and quickly entered the second floor below.

Zach quickly searched for the internal system through the computer, looking for the best route in the entire passage.

……

"Remember, every time I meet a wave of guards, leave one person behind, follow the serial number, and I won't warn."

Zach said lightly to everyone in the communication system.

……

The functional areas below are the subdivisions of some scientific research bases.

There will be a little less caretaker in these areas.

……

At this time, Zach quickly obtained the general framework information of the entire base by communicating with the signal of the smoke man above.

The first thing they entered was the three-story research area.

These are all relatively basic areas.

And the middle layer is the armed area, which should be the most troublesome and difficult area.

All of the Immortal Bird HQ reserves of armed forces are stagnant in this area.

Thankfully, the battle is still going on outside, which means that the main undead bird's combat power is still good on the ice and has not returned to the base.

So Zach, all they have to do is speed up as quickly as possible.

The target is directed to the core area below.

And when they passed through the three-story research area, they did encounter a few patrols by the guards.

But the cooperation of the whole team is very tacit.

One person remains, and the rest quickly leave the watcher's view.

……

It is self-evident what will happen to the one player who remains.

But that was his task, and from beginning to end no one raised objections.

……

If they had, they wouldn't have been involved in this operation.

The people selected by Rael all came with the consciousness of mortality.

Probably the only person in the entire fleet, including Barnes, including the mechs and fighter pilots on the ice, who didn't have this kind of awareness, was Zack......

……

…

In the process of the second and third groups constantly reducing their numbers and constantly moving deeper into the base.

Barnes struggled to the ground inside the energy channel.

……

"Boom!"

His whole body was slapped on the inner wall of the passage.

……

The width of the passage was wide enough for him and the crystal cyborg, especially the main energy channel, which could almost be described as a system of isolation around the base.

So Barnes still has a chance to escape.
