Chapter 23: The Real Countdown
"Huh? Did Takeda commit suicide? Okay, I know, you can step back first, and how many times do you want me to say it, it's an extraordinary time, don't bother me with these little things..."Shimada Shinji drove away another one who came to report the news.
"Whew! These people are really—" Shimada casually turned on another communicator, "Report to me on the basement level." ”
"Yes, Shimada-sama," a respectful voice came over the communicator, "Omega Yuriko burst into the central transport station two minutes ago, and now that all the defenders there have been killed, she is now heading towards the Oni King mecha test area in the southeast, and our infantry units have not stopped her at all, and the mech units have received little success..."
"How's our Super Wave Suppression device working?" Shimada asked, looking sinky. The Super Energy Wave Suppressor is a double helix structure of unknown meaning floating in the middle of the original work, and releases a large force field around it. In this force field, most of Omega Yuriko's abilities will be suppressed, and only the most basic telekinetic power can be used.
"It was fine at first, but now..."The person on the other side seemed to have a hard time speaking, "Omega Yuriko has controlled the minds of several rocket angels, and now she is very fast in dismantling the ground..."
"Idiot! Won't you detonate the glorious bullet on the controlled person?! Shinji Shimada snarled into the communicator. (All units of the Shengyang Empire in Red Alert 3 carry glorious bullets and detonate when they die, which is really worthy of the style of the samurai country...) )
"Uh... We've tried it, but I don't know why it just doesn't work...", the man on the other side said hesitantly.
"Rubbish!" Shimada is about to lose patience, "What about our wave energy tank?" How effective is the blow? ”
"Omega Yuriko bounced off the energy beam in a way we can't understand, and now the entire southeast area of the wave energy tank has been completely wiped out."
“…… You can see what you do. Shinji Shimada hung up the communication and opened another channel.
"How's my stand-in going?" Shimada asked with a slight urgency in his tone.
"Report to Dr. Shimada, our work is almost complete, this person has been brainwashed into believing that he is Shinji Shimada, and we are now doing the final disguise work..."
"Okay, speed up!" Shimada put down a large rock, but still urged a word.
Then he turned on the third communication channel, which was the radio channel on the basement level ...
"Yuriko, my child, why are you just disobedient?" After Shimada calmed down, he began to try to disturb the superpower's mind as much as possible in his somewhat demagogic voice...
Contrary to Shimada's appearance, Xue Qiong did not have a sense of crisis... He thought very well, anyway, he was a "sapper who had just been removed from the upper floor", and he didn't even register his identity after coming down, so he didn't have to worry about the work arranged for him from above, and the preparations that could be made at this stage were almost there... In the end, he thought that even if Yuriko was killed, he would definitely be the target of his own family killing, after all, the sappers didn't have any combat effectiveness, and at that time, it wouldn't be difficult to escape from her alone...
"Oh, yes, I didn't expect there to be a fast food restaurant here, and I can use this ID card on me to swipe the card for accounting..."
In a small two-story building next to the port (although it is said to be the second floor of the underground base, but in fact, this floor is a normal dozen stories high, which is a huge underground cavity), Xue Qiong ordered a grilled fish, a few pieces of tempura, a bowl of miso soup, a bottle of Coke and two bowls of rice, looking at the hornet's nest-like chaos outside, eating leisurely...
Twenty minutes have passed since Yuriko officially invaded the HRE Research Center, and when Xue Qiong's elevator to the northeast was halfway through, the one in the southeast was blown up by Shimada, so that Xue Qiong's workload was reduced by half, and he was also very happy. And it's really as he thinks, now everyone's attention is on Yuriko, and he really hasn't been wary of anyone else... Although he was seen by the guards when he planted the bomb, he just said that it was Shimada who ordered, and then pointed to the one that had been blown up, and these people actually let him do it without any suspicion, and even Xue Qiong was a little unskilled in installing the bag for the first time, and these guards were also enthusiastic to take a hand...
So he decided to have a meal before the sapper he controlled finished his job... Carefully calculated, it has indeed been a lot of time since his last meal, plus he had died watching the data terminal used for superpower development before, and that vomit made his stomach really empty.
"Oh yes, people are iron, rice is steel, I am hungry and panicked if I don't eat a meal, although I don't know which ancient person said it, but sure enough, the ancients didn't deceive me..." By the way, I want to explain here that after the actual operation, Xue Qiong found that the rechargeable magic scroll produced by Lu Ziqiao has a very humanized design, that is, if it is charged in the unfolded state, the scroll will re-roll itself little by little, and when it is completely tightened, it means that the charging has been completed.
"Goo, goo... Ha! Xue Qiong took a big sip of a cold Coke, although it was a Japanese brand he had never heard of, perhaps for protectionist reasons, "Carbonated drinks are really one of the greatest inventions of the twentieth century..."
"Beep-" Xue Qiong's communicator in his pocket sounded an ugly sound, and he took out the communicator with his left hand and put it to his ear, but the chopsticks in his other hand still didn't stop.
"Hello?"
"Master, the mission is done." The voice on the other end could only be said to be familiar to him, but it was nothing, anyway, this person had no meaning anymore...
"Okay, just look at the time, just find a place to hide and hit the wall and die." Xue Qiong said with satisfaction, and stuffed a piece of tempura into her mouth by the way.
"Yes, master." The other side responded without hesitation, and then consciously cut off the communication.
After all, it's a country with a very high suicide rate, and it's not a big deal to die one or two more.
"Boom !!" At this moment, Xue Qiong saw another place outside the window that was full of fire...
"That direction is... A security area to the northeast? As a result, the two directions I went to take charge of didn't come in handy..."Although Xue Qiong's attention was attracted, the chopsticks in his hand still kept sending food into his mouth...
"There are two left..."Xue Qiong grabbed the remote control in his other hand, because he didn't know much about these things, so he simply set the control signals of the four bombs to be the same, but this doesn't have to worry much, anyway, he can blow up the last remaining one...
The four elevators were blown up one by one, like a kind of countdown... And when the penultimate seat falls, it's time for the show to really begin.
Xue Qiong sped up the speed of eating, and in case his plan failed, he had to prepare for a new round of escape.
