In the middle of the night, the ground forces of the Riyan Empire, which had invaded New York City, had already controlled nearly half of the city. However, with follow-up forces yet to follow, the elite Imperial Army is in a stalemate with the remaining Federation forces for the time being. Fierce battles are still being staged in the streets and alleys.

"Bang dang!" On the 99th floor of Jingyuxuan, a crisp glass sound came, and several tall blue figures jumped into the floor from a hovering transport plane. They were one of the many ground forces of the Imperial Army, a small detachment responsible for carrying individual anti-armor missiles.

"Sixth, seventh, hurry up and prepare to deploy missiles, damn it, this is an excellent firepower point, hurry up and get it ready, and give the other party's Banshee fighter fleet a good pot!" Others, follow me to search for floors! ”

A series of bright tactical spotlights lit up, and one of the marines who looked like a squad leader waved his big hand and shouted an order to his companions behind him, and these Imperial Marines scattered in all directions, busy building a temporary fire point.

"Huh!" Walking through the ruined room, a Marine suddenly noticed that a faint and strange infrared heat source appeared in the holographic helmet that had been converted into an infrared search mode. After a little hesitation, the Marine did not send a warning to the squad leader, but slowly approached the past with a rifle in his hand.

"Poof!" A broken wooden plank suddenly soared into the air as the Marine walked up to him, and the Marine slammed into the head.

"Da Da Da!" Unconsciously, the marine's rifle fired, and several armor-piercing spike blasters smashed the massive plank.

However, in the midst ......of the firelight and debris, a black shadow suddenly flashed to the Marine's nose, and a steel dagger with a cold glow pierced the soft underbelly of the CMC armor's neck. The tall blue figure twitched a few times, and then fell down with a bang.

"There's a situation over there!" The other Imperial Marines, who were alarmed, quickly surrounded this side with a loud roar.

......For a while, the fierce and rapid gunfire echoed on the dark ruined floor, and one after another blue figures fell down indirectly in the small firelight.

After a few moments, the floor finally fell silent, and a graceful figure slowly walked up to the two marines who were still carrying individual anti-armor missiles in their hands, illuminated by the tactical spotlights that were still on.

Dressed in bloody tulle pajamas and a slightly pale melon seed face, it was the Suzaku that had been knocked out by the wreckage of the transport plane that had accidentally hit him.

Looking down at the two individual missiles at his feet, Suzaku wiped the blood from the corner of his forehead, and after a little hesitation, he leaned over to pick one up, hung it on his back, and then turned around and walked towards the emergency passage on the floor.

About half an hour after the Imperial Army entered the New York City area, power was cut off throughout the city. Except for the bright artillery fire and the searchlights of war machines such as tanks and warplanes, there was hardly any other light source. Of course, that's not to say that luxury StarWorld hotels such as Jing Yu Xuan don't have their own backup power supply. Instead, in order not to be unprovoked by the war, the hotel management did not choose to turn on the backup power supply. As a result, all floors of the hotel were plunged into darkness. Suzaku, who was walking down the stairs, could only see the steps under his feet by relying on the glow of the green warning lights in the emergency passage and the tactical spotlights on the assault rifles that he had snatched in his hands.

Finally stumbled down the emergency passage to the first floor of the hotel, but Suzaku found that he couldn't find any hotel staff, and the entire Jingyuxuan seemed to be empty. In desperation, Suzaku wanted to grope for a look in the basement. She vaguely remembered that before she fell unconscious, George's subordinate, the hotel staff, had told her to take shelter in the basement for a while.

......Just as Suzaku was about to raise his feet and walk towards the passage to the basement, a loud noise was heard, and a medical transport plane with white smoke still emitting from its wings roared down in the open space in front of the hotel. Suzaku's heart moved, and he hurriedly turned off the tactical spotlight on the rifle in his hand, hid in a room with an open door, and quietly looked out through the hidden door.

"Holy shit, isn't the whole hotel empty?" Three figures jumped out of the cockpit of the transport plane, led by a guy who swayed towards the hotel and shouted curses.

"Haoyi, be quiet, do you want to lure those soldiers from the Imperial Army and the Federation Army over?" Another woman following closely behind her whispered.

"It's my uncle!" Hearing the conversation between this man and woman, Suzaku, who was hiding in the shadows, suddenly had a light in his eyes, hurriedly opened the door and ran out excitedly, waving the rifle in his hand and shouting: "Uncle, eldest sister!" ”

"I'm X, little Zhu Zhu, you're not staying in the room, why are you running here?" Haoyi was startled by the Suzaku that suddenly rushed out of the shadows.

"The floor we live on was almost directly hit by a transport plane, if it weren't for my fate, I might have gone to see the two of them!" Suzaku explained with a wry smile.

"What about the rest of the hotel?" George, who was originally unconscious, had already woken up, but she was woken up by the nausea of Ray's second brain worm with its soft worm feet.

"I don't know! Before I fell unconscious, one of your men came to inform me and told me to take shelter in the basement. No, I just wanted to go there too! Suzaku shook his head and replied.

"Okay, don't worry about it so much, let's hurry up and take a look, can that spaceship still be used?" Haoyi on the side waved his hand to interrupt, and then raised his feet and walked to the basement. The other three girls smiled bitterly helplessly, and hurriedly followed.

Due to the lack of power supply, the basement of the hotel is much darker than the various floors on the ground. Haoyi and the others could almost only rely on the tactical spotlights on a few rifles, groping their way down little by little. It's just that as a starworld hotel, the basement of Jingyuxuan is also like a labyrinth, which is both huge and complex.

"I mean, where is the dark room of the sandwich ship? Why did you spare it for a long time, and you didn't have a clue? After walking for a long time in a daze, Haoyi stopped and looked back, and asked in amazement as George, who was holding the terminal microcomputer in both hands.

"Go ahead, the right side of the corner is!" The three-dimensional holographic map of the hotel was displayed on the microcomputer, and when he looked up at the corridor in front of him, George frowned and said to Haoyi.

"Uh, you think you've said that a few times?" Haoyi reluctantly turned around and continued to walk forward, muttering in a low voice.

"You can't go wrong this time, it's right ahead!" George's tone was quite affirmative.

While speaking, several people walked to the place where George said, and saw a square bronze plaque on the wall with a large tree pattern, George's eyes lit up, and he made a gesture to signal everyone to stop, and then he stepped forward and struck the bronze plaque with a few strokes of different weights that seemed to have some kind of regularity.

"Bang ......" A heavy sound of mechanism was heard, and a huge secret door was suddenly revealed on the originally polished stainless steel wall.

"Brush brush brush ......" followed by a series of soft sounds, and a bright helium lamp lit up on its own in a huge space behind the secret door.

"I'm X, and that's the ship you're talking about?" The space behind the secret door was the size of a standard football field, and a spaceship with a triangular pyramidal head resembling an early human space shuttle was quietly parked in the middle. The space roof directly above the ship appears to be a large circular hatch carved out of stainless steel armor, which is probably the only exit from the ship's dark chamber.

"That's right, don't underestimate this spaceship, it's worth hundreds of billions of federal coins, and it's also the smallest civilian spaceship that can make space jumps so far!" George breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and pointed to the spaceship, explaining to everyone.

"I'm X, and that thing is worth hundreds of billions of federal coins?" Haoyi's mouth turned into a huge O-shape.
