The Daily Life Of A Cyberpunk Magician

Chapter 149 - 134: All Must Die
Chapter 149: Chapter 134: All Must DieYa...

Actually came in person?

Gongsun Xing suppressed the joy in his heart. This meant that Ya was determined to succeed in this operation, otherwise Ya, who was accustomed to staying behind the scenes, would never have come to the scene in person.

Once Ya regained his position in Black Shark, he...

Would he be considered the dragon’s merit?

Gongsun Xing’s face remained expressionless as he waved his hand, and several of his trusted disciples stepped out of the team and headed to a corner of the hall. They opened a side door to a small armory stocked with Black Shark’s most tightly-guarded weapons.

He picked up a long spear from the corner and held it across his chest.

The main body of the spear was similar to a tuning fork but was slender and white with gold trim on the edges, giving it an elegant and noble appearance.

He knew very well that such a kinetic beam weapon, even if it were surplus from the military, was terrifyingly expensive. Each one had cost the mechanical disciples nearly half a year’s worth of revenue.

And, as expected, its power was also terrifying. The high-energy particles compressed in the cartridge flowed along the spear, gathering between the prongs of the tuning fork. It only needed a little energy to activate the particles, forming a high-energy beam capable of piercing through anything.

No living creature could withstand such a weapon. Under its radiance, all beings were equal.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Xing’s heart calmed slightly, and then he quickly led his people out of the hall.

The other disciple leaders and disciples, upon hearing Black Shark’s commands, also sprung into action. In this situation, the calm Black Shark was like a strong stimulant for them.

—

Blood spattered against the walls, and the overhead lights, apparently damaged by bullets, flickered occasionally. Listening intently, one could still hear the monster’s roar and the disciples’ screams from deep in the corridors.

”This Xiu Snake is much stronger than we thought,” Jiang Shu said as he walked through the underground corridor, maneuvering around the scattered corpses and pools of blood, chatting casually with Little Ding.

Ding: The strength of the carbine carbon is too high, and it also has special powers aiding its stability, giving them excellent flexibility. It’s hard to imagine how to combat such monsters without sufficient heavy firepower weapons.

”So, should we reduce it?” Jiang Shu stroked his chin, squatted beside a shattered corpse, and poked at it with a Black Card, searching through the body for a wristwatch.

Soon, he found the wristwatch and poked the buttons with the sharp end of the card. A tilted simulated light screen appeared on the wall.

The background of the simulated light screen was alarm red, displaying an announcement issued directly by the disciple leader: All mechanical disciples must quickly gather at the ”fortress”; the ”fortress” will close in five minutes.

The disciple leader of the mechanical disciples reacted quickly, gathering everyone first before discussing further actions; otherwise, with Xiu Snake hunting like this, they would soon be entirely wiped out.

”Fortress? Closes in five minutes?” Jiang Shu looked at Little Ding. ”Where is the fortress?”

The announcement did not specify the location of the fortress, which meant that every mechanical disciple was well aware of its exact location.

Ding: Searching...

Ding: ”Fortress” not found, but calculations show that there are three areas not under surveillance.

”Directly hack into the disciples’ prosthetic eyes to find their direction of movement,” Jiang Shu said, choosing the simplest method.

In the next second, Little Ding’s screen displayed a map of the underground base, with several red arrows pointing to the same location.

It was a room similar to a hall, covering approximately five hundred square meters and shaped like a triangle.

According to the data provided by Little Ding, that room now had a lot of bright spots, indicating many disciples were gathered there.

”Is there only one entrance to the fortress?” Jiang Shu looked at Little Ding.

Ding: Yes.

”Send a portion of Xiu Snake to block the paths near the entrance and eliminate all disciples heading there, while the rest freely hunt; let none escape,” Jiang Shu commanded, which also saved him some time.

He thought for a moment, then added, ”Does this underground base have any other exits?”

Ding: None discovered so far.

”Keep looking,” Jiang Shu nodded. He wasn’t in a hurry, ”A cunning rabbit still has three burrows. The leader of the mechanical disciples, this place is so well-built, I don’t believe he didn’t prepare a safe passage.”

Ding: The leader of the mechanical disciples is probably setting up defenses now.

”No worries, as long as the fight hasn’t fully started, he won’t think of running,” Jiang Shu chuckled, ”Once we have understood this place thoroughly, then we can deal with him.”

He continued, ”And what’s the rush? Maybe Clo is here too. By the way, tell your Xiu Snake to restrain itself a bit, just trap them for now.”

Ding: Okay.

Ding: Wait, someone is infiltrating the firewall I set up.

”Who?” Jiang Shu frowned. ”The mechanical disciples? Or... Clo?”

Ding: It’s a third-party IP address. The infiltration technique is very unique but a bit rusty. It’s likely Clo.

”No need to organize defense, let him take over,” Jiang Shu thought for a moment and instructed. ”Implant a background virus for counteraction at any time, and then erase our traces.”

Ding: Processing...

Ding: Success!

Ding: One of the Xiu Snakes is dead.

”Dead? Did Clo do it?” Jiang Shu looked at Ding and asked.

Ding: No, it was killed by a team that came out from the ”fortress.” Their weapons had significant lethality against the Xiu Snake, but to kill this one, most of them died.

Ding: Only four people left are moving towards an area not covered by surveillance.

”Let the Xiu Snake avoid them.” Jiang Shu sighed, ”Let’s go and see what these four people are up to.”

Ding: Received.

”Meanwhile, keep an eye on Clo, try to locate him sooner,” Jiang Shu continued. This small underground stronghold suddenly gathered three forces, which gave him a bit of a headache.

If only he had more manpower. It would be great if others could join him. He needed to quickly create some Magic so they also gain some combat capabilities.

Moments later.

”Aha, found them.” Jiang Shu watched the row of four people at the end of the corridor, gently waved his hand, and a torrent of black cards surged towards the group, instantly killing three and leaving only one man holding a rifle.

Ding: Searching... confirmed target as the Ninth Disciple Leader—Gongsun Xing.

”You! Did you do all this? Who exactly are you!?” Gongsun Xing slammed against the wall from the impact of the cards, feeling a surge of tightness in his chest.

Fortunately, his vitals were all covered with mechanical alloys, so he was not seriously harmed.

While Jiang Shu looked at the rifle in his hand, sighed, and sent the cards zooming towards the shadow on the ground by the Disciple Leader.

Suddenly, from a door on the side of the corridor, a tendril stretched out and smashed the cards into the ground.

”Wait, wait, wait—” A head poked out from behind the side door, then a hand continuously waving in greeting.

”Clo.” Jiang Shu looked at the grinning head.

”That’s right, it’s me, we meet again.” Clo said, then glanced at Gongsun Xing beside him and pleaded with Jiang Shu, ”This guy... he’s one of my people, could you please not kill him?”

”Lord Ya... Lord Ya!” Gongsun Xing cradling his Radiant II rifle, his face radiated a pious glow.

”I’ll handle this.” Suddenly Clo pulled out a revolver with an extended barrel from his bosom, smilingly pressed it against Gongsun Xing’s forehead, and pulled the trigger.

”Bang—” The unique sound of the revolver echoed, and Gongsun Xing fell with disbelief on his face, his rifle clattering to the ground.

”The mechanical disciples are a thorn between you and me, so...” Clo continued smiling.

”They all have to die.”
