Chapter 2182: Exploring the Trail of Sha Lan (20)

Normally, the optical camouflage of the Blade Monster suit "lasts for two hundred seconds".

This optical camouflage system is powered by a group of high-energy batteries, the capacity of the battery itself is not limited to two hundred seconds, but the optical camouflage system can produce an optical refraction field that can cover the user's whole body on one side, and the other side will also produce amazing heat, if the system is not limited to about two hundred seconds, this heat will burn the system and the battery at the same time------ in which the possibility of the battery being burned out is higher.

So in fact, 200 seconds is the limit time that the system and the battery itself can normally withstand that amount of heat, not the battery life, and the next 100 seconds of cooling time is really the literal cooling time, which is set to allow the camouflage system and the battery to cool down sufficiently.

But the battery is replaceable, and Paramidis happens to have a spare battery with him. If he took the risk of overriding this optical camouflage system and letting it work for more than two hundred seconds, although doing so would inevitably burn out the battery, the chances of the system being burned out were not so great. That is, he can sacrifice a battery in exchange for more than two hundred seconds of optical camouflage activation time.

As for why he needed to use optical camouflage for more than 200 seconds, it was because he couldn't run fast past the heavily guarded door while launching the optical camouflage sneak in front of everyone. If he didn't want the androids in front of him to see the sneaking Silverwing, he had to activate the optical camouflage and move it at a very slow speed until he entered the power room. The whole process is not fast, and if they go too fast, the guards will see a very unnatural "invisible bubble" appear in front of them, distorting the air around them.

Palamides took a deep breath, then held his breath and activated the optical camouflage. He began to move in the slowest but most steady squatting position, trying not to alert the other person as much as possible. In fact, for him to sneak silently from under the noses of a group of heavily armed guards, the big cat would still feel quite a lot of pressure. Even the slightest mistake could have been extremely serious, after all, even for a good warrior like him, it was not interesting to be beaten by a group of people and set on fire by a turret.

However, he still has a certain advantage. Because these near-cyborg-like second-generation androids are very stupid and sluggish, wearing bloated plastic armor. The armor's scarf-like design, while providing good protection for their fragile metal skeleton necks, also obscured some of their views, which was both advantageous and disadvantageous. The reinforced plastic helmets they wear also limit their vision to a certain extent, making it even more difficult for them to see below the knee.

Fifteen yards, twelve yards. He moved closer and closer, though his latent crouching pace was measured in yards every ten seconds.

As Palamides slowly crouched down the side of the hallway, the second-generation androids hadn't even moved their heads for more than half a minute, and they couldn't have seen the transparent air bubbles slowly flickering under their noses. And when Palamides took off his shoes and moved with the paws of his big cat's fleshy feet, his gait was completely muffled. The only thing the cyborg wearing in the heavy helmet could hear was the slight friction between the fabrics of the Silverwinger's suit------ which was nothing compared to the sound of electricity on their bodies, and would simply be overshadowed.

Ten yards, five yards, he really walked in front of this group of enemies, at a distance where he could raise his bayonet at any moment and kill all these artificial people. But Palamides couldn't help it, because he knew that even if he could use a bayonet to get rid of the four androids with Photon Gatling, it would be useless, and he still had a turret above his head. It's no joke to get a headshot from a turret so far, and it's a risk you can't afford to take. So he continued to sneak forward silently!

The Blade Monster's optical camouflage is such a powerful presence that even when viewed from the front, as long as the user does not move, or only moves at an extremely slow speed, its force field that perfectly deflects light allows the user to be almost completely transparent, perfectly blending into the surrounding environment. This excellent equipment, coupled with the user's own excellent stealth ability, is even possible to sneak silently under the nose of the enemy, which even the leopard warriors themselves are surprised!

Three, two, he had reached the door of the power room, and had literally slipped under the noses of the guards. The door to the power room wasn't closed, or maybe it wasn't there, the passage was wide open, and the sound of a generator came from inside.

I don't know if the power room of the workshop deliberately kept this door open for the sake of heat dissipation, or because of some incomprehensible reasons in the design, the middle door was open. But when Palamides saw the cables stretching out of the ceiling, he could already understand it basically.

And because the process of the big cat's stealth and slow movement is very long, nearly two hundred seconds have passed since his optical camouflage was activated, the system has been overloaded, and the optical camouflage may stop working at any time, while he is wandering under the turret, and has not yet been able to completely pass through the enemy's garrison. This made Palamides very anxious and wanted to escape from this dangerous area as soon as possible. He made a mistake in a hurry, and made a sound when he walked. The sound was the sound of the silver *of his hand* and the ground colliding. Palamidas, who had been holding * sneaking in the way and carrying it behind him since just now, really didn't expect the gun to make a mess at such a time. But it was too late to regret it, and the sound still came out, and the androids around it probably heard the momentary collision and became vigilant. Even the turrets began to react, turning left and right to find the target they were hunting! Fortunately, Palamides still maintained his optical camouflage at this time, and he no longer bothered about the problem of easy exposure of optical camouflage under high-speed movement, and directly rolled into the dark place behind the door. The cyborgs guarding the door were about to turn their heads to look this way when they heard the initial sound of hitting the ground, intending to find the culprit who made the sound, but only to see a transparent bubble of distorted air swaying for a moment, and the shaking stopped and disappeared in a very short time.

Normal people may still be puzzled by this peculiar sight, and will further explore its cause. But these second-generation androids are nothing more than robot-level things, and their level of artificial intelligence is also quite low. The unnatural scenery of that moment is probably not much different from the noise captured by their not-so-sophisticated camera eyes. So these guys didn't particularly care about the unusual thing that happened just now, and after being stunned for half a second, they turned their heads and continued to guard the door. The turret sensors weren't much better than those of the androids, or maybe Palamides couldn't see anything unusual from the angle of the turrets when he rolled over quickly, after all, the big cat was right below the turrets.

In this way, Palamides actually walked through the door without alerting any of the guards. It can be said that he is quite lucky------ if the door is guarded by normal human guards, he will not be able to exploit this loophole. It was also at this time that the leopard warrior found that a small part of the part of his chest was so hot that it almost burned. The big cat knew that this was the abnormal heating of the battery caused by the overuse of the optical camouflage, so he was so frightened that he quickly pulled out the battery. Enduring the pain of a scalded finger, the Leopard Warrior tossed aside the battery that was emitting high heat and constantly smoking. He was worried that the battery would explode and make a noise, but in fact, the overheating of the battery was not as exaggerated as he imagined, and after throwing it out, it only smoked for a while and then stopped, and it did not explode.

Palamides was relieved to be able to observe his surroundings. It's good that he didn't look at it, and he was almost scared to death when he saw it------ because in the dark shadow of the corner of the same power room, there was another sneaky guy squatting. The bald man in the black tights and the bald sunglasses, about 20 years old, is waving to the "Blade Monster"!

"Uh!" Palamides almost screamed, but he knew that he was in enemy formation, and the slightest exclamation could reveal his whereabouts, so he forcibly held back his exclamation. The cry stopped abruptly at his throat, replaced by a defensive gesture, or rather a gesture of his gun raising his gun to aim.

(Wait, I'm not your enemy.) ）

Unexpectedly, after the other party said hello, he put up an electronic notepad and typed what he wanted to say on it, and the guy's typing speed was extremely fast.

Palamides frowned, even though most of his face was now hidden in the shadow of the Silverwing's dark silver hat, and the other party couldn't see his expression at all.

(Are you here to sabotage the factory, Blade Monster?)

The other person typed another string of words. He also deliberately referred to Paramides as "Silverblade Monster". Of course, the Blade Monster was originally a legendary hero in Cairo a hundred years ago, and there should be many people who know this, and it is not unusual for the other party to recognize him as the "Blade Monster" from Palamides's outfit. Whether the other party will treat this Palamides dress as a costume and secretly snicker at the big cat is another matter.

And by this time Palamides had also recognized him (with difficulty from the darkness). He'd seen the man before, and he was in ......

------Yesterday?

That's right, this bald man in sunglasses is the guy who appeared yesterday. The mysterious agent who assassinated the Egyptian official and took the android element out of the official's brain.

That no less mysterious, "railway" organization.
