Chapter 20 Undercounting

"I'm sorry, sir!" Xue Qiong perfectly interprets the role of a 9-to-5 office worker in District 11 who is juggling all kinds of heavy work, strict bosses, and complex interpersonal relationships in a cruel society, when he keeps bowing and apologizing for accidentally blocking the way of a patrolling tank killer (the Shengyang Empire class, wearing a hat and ghost mask of unknown significance, and armed with a heavy individual plasma cannon, specially designed to deal with armored troops).

"You have to look at the road when you walk!" I don't know what the expression of the tank killer's face under the mask is, but Xue Qiong can hear his tone being impatient... After the other party shook off this sentence, he walked away and continued his patrol work.

(It's good, there's still half the way to the central transport station...) Beacon, how long is it until Yuriko arrives? Xue Qiong walked unhurriedly under his feet, and his face remained unchanged.

The communicator and beam cutter he had obtained in Dr. Takeda's lab were kept in his pants pocket, as both electronics were equipped with tracking systems, so he couldn't be stowed into the storage space, and the signal cut off would cause him to be discovered.

[60 minutes left.] 】

(That's not bad, the time should be just...) )

"Bell bell bell bell .............." With the sudden sound of the alarm bell, the walls on both sides of the corridor opened a lot of small openings, and then from the inside stretched out a fist-sized red police light, the rotating red light, suddenly changing the color of the lighting in the entire area.

"Okay..."Xue Qiong was stunned, and said the last word of the words in his heart.

"I'm Shimada, and I order all fighters to stop patrolling and immediately return to their posts and prepare for the !! The non-combatants were immediately evacuated from the nanotechnology experimental area in the southwest direction to the next floor!! The mecha troops are on standby!! There were some speakers on the wall next to the hallway, and an anxious voice came from inside.

The reaction of the people next to him was faster than him, and the tank killer, the bow girl and the imperial warrior who were the defense personnel began to follow the orders issued by the communication system, and quickly ran towards their posts, Xue Qiong also saw several mecha more than ten meters high running past him...

"What are you doing!! Don't hurry up yet!! A tank killer shouted at Xue Qiong, and then kept running away... Xue Qiong didn't know if it was the one who had a relationship with him just now, anyway, they were all wearing masks, and Xue Qiong couldn't see it.

(Damn, how did I forget this stubble!) Xue Qiong slapped her thigh, although this situation came a little abruptly, Xue Qiong still thought of what the situation was in time...

(The "plot start time" mentioned by the beacon is the time when Yuriko entered the HRE Research Center...) This is where the game begins, but now that I know there's a military base outside, Yuriko has to clean up the outside before coming in, which means that she will arrive outside and start wreaking havoc at least earlier than the beacon prompts... Got caught!! )

(That is, Omega Yuriko killed everyone on the entire military base on the ground in the next hour...) Damn it! Although there is no specific data, it is guaranteed by thousands of people! And now I can't go to the middle, and when all the non-combatants are running to the southwest, it's too conspicuous for me, a sapper, to run to the transport station... )

(Do you want to stop grabbing a set of combatants' outfits?) No way! If that's the case, even if you run to the door, you'll be blocked in front of Yuriko right away, and you'll still die!! )

(Dry!) Xue Qiong gritted his teeth and looked at the fork in the road leading to the nanotechnology experimental area dozens of meters away from him. It's a big deal, run down and use the charm technique to control Shinji Shimada... It's really forcing me to be anxious, so Lao Tzu will release the biochemical virus, and the fish will die and the net will be broken, bastard!! )

Thinking of this, Xue Qiong decisively ran into that fork...

"Huh?! This is..."Xue Qiong was running, and suddenly saw a large-screen computer placed on the side of the road...

(The database in the original?) And it seems to be completely unguarded, and any person can open it and see it... After reading this, will I level up like Yuriko... Thinking of this, Xue Qiong couldn't help but turn on the computer with her hands cheaply.

"Surge Shield... Vomit!!!!! Xue Qiong glanced at it a few times, and suddenly felt dizzy, bent down and threw up...

[Hint, it is detected that your mental power level is not enough to directly bear this skill enhancement, please stop this behavior immediately.] 】

[If you want to force this enhancement, please pay points.] However, it detects that you do not have enough points to complete the action. 】

"Didn't you say it sooner!!" Xue Qiong straightened up, wiped the corners of her mouth with her sleeve, and continued to run forward along the corridor...

"Come up! Come on!! A truck stopped beside Xue Qiong, and Xue Qiong followed the sound to see several Imperial sappers in-yellow suits like him waving to him from the cargo bed of a mining truck.

“… Thanks, give me a hand. ”

"Okay!" Sapper A stretched out his hand to Xue Qiong.

"You must be new here, right? Those roadside computers are used to test whether people have the potential to develop their mental power...", the unnamed brother explained to Xue Qiong enthusiastically but without a sense of crisis, "Ordinary people can't see anything when they turn on those computers, and they will be dizzy... And there is a very strange phenomenon, basically all of them who can pass the test are women, which is really unfair..."After saying this, he sighed.

(Well, that means I can see the words Super Wave Shield, which is pretty good, isn't it...) Xue Qiong thought to herself, and then thanked him.

"It's here... How much longer? Standing in front of the super-large elevator ten meters above the ground, Xue Qiong muttered to herself something that others could not understand.

[There are still 45 minutes before Omega Yuriko enters the HRE Research Center.] 】

"Because there is a means of transportation, is it a lot faster... If I had walked on my own, people would have already been killed by this time..."

"You guys! Get out of the car! In extraordinary times, I won't hold you accountable for driving this car without permission...", an Imperial warrior guarding the elevator shouted to this side, and then pointed out one of his subordinates, "You, go and drive this car back!" ”

"Yes!" "Yes! Sir! The Imperial warrior who was ordered quickly ran into the cab of the minecart, and then Xue Qiong and the others obediently climbed out of the body.

Xue Qiong looked at the giant elevator in front of him, which was enough to transport hundreds of people at a time, and suddenly thought of something.

(It's big, but it's only as tall as the Ghost King at most...) But in the original work, there is a behemoth like a super fortress on the next floor, how did it get down? Is it to be disassembled into parts first? )

The Super Fortress is the most cutting-edge high-tech weapon of the Shengyang Empire at the time of the uprising, and it is also the most lethal and destructive thing in the entire plot world, except for strategic weapons. It is in the form of a huge metal human head floating in the air, with a diameter of tens of meters, and its weapon is a super-heavy laser cannon "God's Breath", which can also be lowered and transformed into a medium-sized floating island fortress floating on the water. But here's the problem, something so big that it's obviously impossible to pass through this elevator ...

"Hey! You! Don't be stunned!! The voice of the captain of the elevator guard interrupted Xue Qiong's thoughts, and Xue Qiong also noticed that the sappers who came with him had already entered the elevator, so he hurriedly followed.
