Chapter 500 The Black Monster
Chapter 500 The Black Monster
Ta da~
The sound of steady footsteps echoed in the corridor, and a beautifully dressed woman appeared in the office. Judging from her clothes and her overall demeanor, she must hold a high position within Skynet.
As soon as she appeared, several staff members surrounded her. This was definitely not to flatter her, but to give a work report.
"Report: Black monsters have recently been spotted in the western and southern parts of the city. We dispatched mechanical police to deal with them as soon as they were discovered, but because their appearance was so sudden, they still caused damage to the city."
"Report: Regarding the Black Monster, we've made some progress in our research. After a hunter captured it, we dissected it and discovered that it doesn't have any real flesh and blood tissue; the Black Monster is actually a mass of energy polymer..."
"Report: A humanoid creature resembling the Black Monster Leader has been discovered in Block 9. It is incredibly powerful; even with two hunters dispatched, we were unable to defeat it..."
Reports were handed to the woman one after another. Faced with numerous reports, she remained calm and read them one by one.
The Black Monsters are a special type of monster recently discovered in major cities. They are entirely black and have a brutal personality, hence the name "Black Monsters" in the Skynet organization's database.
The black monster is only half a person tall, but its combat power is by no means low. Its strong aggression means that it can injure several citizens once it appears.
Although Skynet has always used citizens as tools, it cannot allow the Dark Ones to carry out such unrestrained slaughter.
Not to mention that as more and more black monsters appear, their official forces have also suffered some losses.
The Skynet organization, already extremely busy due to the Desire Master incident, became even more overwhelmed after facing this new and strange force.
Because of the appearance of the Black Monsters, a large number of mechanical police officers were transferred to patrol various parts of the city. However, with the increasing number of Black Monsters, these police forces were not enough.
After much deliberation, the only solution seems to be drawing police officers from other cities...
After reading the documents handed to him by the staff, the woman did not show any particular annoyance. After all, only a calm and composed person could hold such a high-level position.
However, it's also possible that her panicked state of mind was dispelled...
Who knows?
After reading all this, the woman did not give them an answer immediately. Instead, she carried the numerous documents and walked deeper into the building.
The SkyNet Building has three floors: outer, middle, and inner. Her office is on the middle floor. She was just passing by when she arrived. Even if she hadn't come here, the staff would have handed her the documents after a while.
With a crisp sound of footsteps, the woman arrived at the elevator connecting the outer and middle floors. In a country where cars are common, the existence of elevators is not surprising...
After the woman left, the staff did not pay much attention to her and returned to their workstations to continue working.
Only Marika stared intently at the woman's retreating figure as she left. Even before the woman entered the elevator, she glanced in their direction almost imperceptibly, as if sensing something...
This immediately put Burak on edge, and he almost lost his composure and was about to make the first move...
Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Marika put her hand on his shoulder and pressed him down, thus averting a conflict.
Call ~
"I thought we'd been discovered..."
Seeing the woman leave in the elevator, Burak let out a long sigh of relief. He was relatively young and inexperienced, and this was his first time on such a tense and exciting stealth mission, so he was inevitably under some pressure...
Fortunately, he wasn't alone.
Thinking of this, Burak couldn't help but look at Marika, who had her hand on his shoulder. Although she was still expressionless, it couldn't stop Burak from having wild thoughts.
But... why is my Kerber-type Circular Bullet No. 7 in her hands?
Well... I was just about to give it to her, but that woman's arrival suddenly interrupted me...
When did she take it?
Burak was completely baffled, but just then, Marika patted him on the shoulder, interrupting his thoughts.
It's time to take action....
After completing their patrol, the robotic police quickly sprang into action. Thanks to their atomization, ordinary staff members couldn't detect them at all.
Instead of taking the riskier elevator, they chose to descend into a pipe and, after much difficulty, finally reached the middle floor.
Once you reach the middle floors of the Skynet building, there are fewer staff members, and the corridors are almost empty.
The middle level is not just one floor; it's a concept of a zone that actually consists of several floors.
Those working here are generally mid-to-high-level personnel from Skynet. There aren't many of them, and given the current tense situation, many have already left.
This reduced the pressure on Marika and her team to some extent, but they still had to avoid some detection devices.
Fortunately, Ruan was very skilled at these things. Through his investigation, Marika's team evaded many detection devices along the way. Although their movements were slow, they hadn't been discovered yet...
boom! !
With a thud, a uniformed staff member was knocked to the ground by Burak. His actions were swift and clean. After knocking the staff member down, he quickly dragged him to a hiding place.
Concealing corpses is an essential skill for every assassin. If you fail to hide a body properly during infiltration, be prepared for a brutal attack...
Neptune's squad assignments were not random; the three members who made up the team were chosen after careful consideration.
Marika has extensive experience in numerous missions, and having her lead the team will undoubtedly avoid a lot of trouble.
Burak is young and impetuous, but lacks experience. However, he is quite capable and, as a key member of the team, he is fully capable of stepping up should any unexpected situation arise.
As for Lu An with the garlic-nosed nose, although he lacks experience and combat strength, he is the best in terms of skills among the three, and the equipment inspection cannot be done without him.
The three complemented each other, making the operation more efficient. Although other teams were not configured exactly like this, they were all similar. It was clear that only organized and disciplined operations could successfully complete the mission.
Their infiltration went very smoothly; the only drawback was that they hadn't yet discovered the ritual device.
So they had no choice but to continue forward, but the further they went, the more dangerous it became, as everyone knew, and thus they couldn't help but feel tense.
However, at that moment, a sudden change occurred...
