There will inevitably be slight distortions in the light when moving, but these are extremely difficult to detect in the chaos.
Thermal and acoustic signals were also significantly suppressed.
Almost at the same time that the twenty hellhounds appeared, the air above the rebels' heads, above the ventilation ducts, and even above the edge of the bunkers where they had just peeked out, also began to distort.
Twenty mechanical raptors with wingspans of about one meter appeared. They had sharp, biomimetic streamlined shapes, were covered in matte black armor, and had wings made of foldable alloy feathers, making them almost silent when flying.
The mechanical Black Hawk has a flat sensor platform on its head, and compound eye-like lenses that gleam with a ghostly blue light.
The beak is equipped with a light-emitting diode (LED) located at the tip of the "beak".
It emits a blue laser beam as thin as a hair but with extremely high energy density, possessing extremely strong penetrating power.
It is specifically designed for the silent elimination of critical targets (such as commanders, gunners, and snipers) or the destruction of precision instruments (such as scopes and communication equipment).
It is almost completely silent and lightless when it is launched, making it an absolute master of assassination.
Electromagnetic pulse rays to the eyes are located on both sides of the head.
It emits short, localized electromagnetic pulses (EMPs).
It can instantly disable unprotected small and medium-sized electronic devices (such as electronic sights of old-fashioned firearms, communication devices, and even simple electronic ignition devices of RPGs), rendering them inoperable.
However, it is ineffective against high-level protective units like the Iron Guard.
The mechanical black hawk has wings with edges made of ultra-hard alloy, making them extremely sharp.
When it dives at high speed, it can cut through targets (such as necks and arms) like a razor.
Combined with its silent nature, it is a terrifying close-range reaper.
The mechanical claw can release high-voltage current to subdue the target, or launch a grappling hook with a high-strength synthetic fiber rope to drag and lift the target (especially against enemies at high altitudes or behind cover).
It has a small magazine in its abdomen, which can be used to throw non-lethal but highly effective miniature sonic grenades (which create deafening noise and shockwaves that cause dizziness) or powerful flashbangs (which can cause blindness).
Its main core capability is equipped with high-precision sensors (optical, infrared, electromagnetic, and acoustic), which are Loongson's "eyes" and "ears" on the battlefield.
Real-time battlefield information is shared with all friendly units (Chen Yuan, Iron Guard, Hellhound), building a perfect battlefield awareness network.
It is also equipped with optical camouflage (active stealth).
With the Loongson command issued, the Hellhound and the Black Hawk, like ferocious beasts unleashed from their restraints, began their slaughter.
Chapter 68 She is innocent
Several mechanical black eagles hovered in mid-air, flapping their wings, their compound eyes locked on the target.
Several barely perceptible flashes of blue light disappeared in an instant. The gunners operating the heavy machine guns and Sharif, who was aiming the rocket launcher, all had small, charred holes appear between their eyebrows or on the back of their heads. Their movements came to an abrupt halt, their eyes lost their light, and they slumped down like puppets with their strings cut, dying without ever hearing a sound.
Using optical camouflage and agile movements, the hellhounds moved like ghosts between bunkers, appearing silently behind the panicked rebels.
A flash of red light, and the jaw-splitting ray was activated, instantly piercing the rebel's throat or heart. Some hellish machines lunged out, their powerful impact slamming the targets against the steel walls, breaking bones and tendons.
Then, they easily tore through flesh with their sharp claws, while the hellhounds' shoulder pulse machine guns fired short bursts, turning small groups of rebels who tried to gather and resist into sieves.
Several mechanical black hawks swooped down at high speed, their wing blades slicing through the air, kicking up sprays of blood. Some of them released their grappling hooks to drag down snipers hiding on high ground, smashing them into a bloody mess.
As for the enemy who tried to resist by relying on the cover, the Hellhound's missile pod on its back opened, and an armor-piercing high-explosive round was fired into the back of the cover, accurately killing the enemy.
This was a... completely unequal massacre!
More than a hundred traitors fell like leaves in the wind. Xiao Hei and the others who were responsible for guarding the elevator were trembling with fear. They hadn't participated in the rebellion, otherwise they would be dead by now.
Faced with future technology, these rebels appear so vulnerable that they cannot even see where the enemy is before their lives are silently taken away, and many die in fear and despair.
Witnessing this hellish scene, the Lightbringer Vatican fired his energy pistol in vain at a fleeting, disappearing afterimage.
A hellhound appeared silently to her side, its red eyes locking onto her.
The last trace of color drained from Vatican's face, leaving only despair in his eyes.
She seemed to want to say something, but the hellhound's mandible-splitting ray had already glowed red...
"Save her life," Chen Yuan's calm voice rang out.
The red light shifted instantly, and the hellhound passed by Vanti, continuing to kill the last enemy.
The battle (or rather, the mopping-up operation) ended quickly.
When the last gunshot rang out (from the suicide of a collapsing rebel), the square was left with only corpses, limbs, shell casings, and an overwhelming stench of blood.
The hellhound and the mechanical black hawk stood silently beside the corpse, blood dripping from their black armor, awaiting orders.
Chen Yuan exhaled and slowly walked across this hellish scene. His nano-alloy combat boots made a slight sound as they stepped on the sticky pool of blood.
Looking at the distraught and crying Vatican, Chen Yuan calmly said, "Once the cleanup is complete, notify Victor to send people out to wash the floor and clean it up."
"Yes, Lord City Lord," Xiao Hei quickly replied.
At this moment, Chen Yuan looked up and gazed into the higher shadow of the lighthouse. His eyes seemed to penetrate layers of steel and see Charles hiding there.
“Charles… it’s time to move on to the next round of the game.”
……
In the central command hall of the lighthouse, a huge holographic star map slowly rotated in the dim light, illuminating Chen Yuan's figure below.
He had just finished a briefing on energy allocation and leaned back relaxed in the cold alloy command chair, his fingertips unconsciously tapping the armrests, making a soft tapping sound, like the sound of a beast's claws scraping against rocks when it was languid.
Just then, the heavy alloy door split open in the middle, and High Priest Edgar of the Shadow Order, dressed in his intricately patterned dark blue-black robes, hurried in.
His face bore an expression of anxiety and loyalty, and fine beads of sweat even appeared on his forehead. He strode up to Chen Yuan, bowed slightly, and spoke rapidly.
"Shadow Society Leader, this is bad! I just received some information that someone is plotting something sinister, secretly conspiring to... to harm you. I suspect it's remnants of the Light and Shadow Society..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Yuan interrupted him.
Chen Yuan didn't even look up at him, his gaze remaining fixed on the slowly rotating holographic star map. He simply raised his hand casually and said in a lazy tone:
"My High Priest."
Chen Yuan deliberately drew out the words "High Priest," a playful glint in his eyes. "What important matter is it that you can't kneel down to tell me?"
Edgar's expression froze instantly, and then without the slightest hesitation, even with an almost reflexive obedience, he knelt down with a thud.
"Lord of the Shadow Society, please forgive my impetuousness, I was just..."
"Okay, I understand."
Chen Yuan interrupted him again, this time shifting his gaze from the star map to the humble, prostrate figure on the ground.
Edgar looked up abruptly, his eyes filled with disbelief: "You...you knew everything?"
"Ah."
Chen Yuan casually replied, "Their plan was brought forward, but the matter has just been resolved. They're just a few clowns; they can't cause any trouble."
He paused, then continued in a casual tone, as if giving instructions for a routine matter: "You've come at the right time. Go find Seng. From now on, he will be the Shadow Society's criminal judge, in charge of controlling the Lighthouse's criminal law system."
Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes and said in a more serious tone, "The Shadow Society... is not a game for children; it needs to have its own rules."
Edgar was instantly overwhelmed with shock.
solved?
So fast?
Could it be the previous explosion?
Sengge, put him in charge of criminal law?
A chill instantly shot from Edgar's tailbone to the top of his head.
what does this mean?
This means that Edgar's power as the "High Priest" has been invisibly divided and checked.
Sengge, that's a real wolf!
But he dared not show it on his face, and immediately bowed his head again, his voice even more humble: "Yes, Master of the Shadows, your will is the direction of the beacon, I will do it immediately."
Eager to prove himself, Edgar cautiously added, "Then... what should we do about the rebel Vatican? As far as I know, there should be other accomplices."
"Vatican?"
Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise on his face.
He then waved his hand, speaking in a matter-of-fact tone, even with a hint of reproach that said, "How could you think that way?"
"What rebel? Are you still asleep? How can you slander a girl like that?"
Chen Yuan leaned forward slightly, revealing a wicked smile: "Fanti is so beautiful, I can tell she's innocent just by looking at her."
Edgar: "...Huh???"
Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
Chapter 69 Gene Potion
After a mere fraction of a second of stunned silence, the shock on Edgar's face vanished in an instant, like a face-changing act in Sichuan opera, replaced by a look of sudden realization, utter agreement, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes," and even a hint of fawning, "I think so too."
"Yes, yes, yes, Your Excellency, your insight is truly remarkable, and your understanding is impeccable. I am truly foolish, so foolish!"
He slapped his forehead hard and said regretfully, "How could Vatican be a traitor? She is absolutely innocent. It was those damned rebels who tried to frame her. My previous intelligence must have been wrong. This matter must be thoroughly investigated."
He wanted to pile up all the praise he had learned in his life, just to prove Chen Yuan's own brilliant judgment.
"Ah, very good."
Chen Yuan nodded in satisfaction, then changed the subject and said in a deep voice, "Then, lock Charles up, lock him up for the time being."
Upon hearing this, Edgar's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately replied, "Yes, I will take care of it right away. This Charles... oh no, Chelsea, he instigated a rebellion, his crimes are heinous..."
Chen Yuan continued, "Although he didn't directly appear in this turmoil, even a fool knows that he's involved."
He stood up, walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down at the lighthouse deck dotted with lights.
"I bet Charles will try to deny it when he gets arrested, saying that you need evidence to arrest someone, and if he dares to ask you for evidence..."
Chen Yuan turned his head and said, "Then tell him that my words are the evidence. If I say he is, then he is, whether he is or not."
There was no procedure, no trial, no defense.
Only the supreme will.
