Chapter 118 Murder Game

‘Flying sand?’

Wang Jixuan’s spiritual sense detection range will continuously increase as his cultivation level improves and his soul becomes stronger.

However, his spiritual sense was constantly probing far outside the body, which would quickly tire him out. Therefore, when he was cultivating, he would only let his spiritual sense extend naturally and passively probe for any movement in the surrounding area.

At this moment, I habitually extended my spiritual sense, and the edge of my spiritual sense happened to catch a wisp of sand being lifted up.

“Peony, thermal imaging scan! Aim at the military camp on the ground!”

“yes!”

After a few seconds’ delay, a dense array of thermally rendered human silhouettes appeared on the projection screen in front of Wang Jixuan, making his eyes blurry.

The peony’s pupils shone with a red light.

“Comparing… Six intruders have been detected, all equipped with holographic belts and psionic shielding devices, rapidly approaching the ventilation duct intake.”

Wang Jixuan made a quick decision: “Sound the alarm! Turn on the searchlights and shine them on them! Let the soldiers fire freely!”

“yes!”

Peony’s ten fingers flashed rapidly, and the images on the projectors in front of her changed at lightning speed.

High in the sky, Ling Tong piloted her mecha and shattered the ice ball with a single sword strike.

On the ground, the soldiers cheered and celebrated the victory of the interception, which indicated that their counterattack against the psionic capital had achieved a phased result.

It was at this moment that…

The sirens of Fortress 82 are blaring!

Each soldier on duty received the same order through various means, with commanders from each team and unit giving the simplest instructions.

In front of a ventilation duct in a corner of the camp, a dozen soldiers rushed forward hand in hand, knocking out a transparent figure;

A soldier threw a fast-firing dye smoke grenade, and the smoke outlined a running figure;

Gunshots rang out from the edge of the camp, and several soldiers simultaneously fired into the desert, plunging the main camp into immediate chaos.

Thus, the battle began.

Almost as soon as the ordinary human warriors spotted the intruders, a roar that seemed capable of shattering eardrums came from the northwest corner. A burly man, covered in black armor and resembling a monster in a tokusatsu film set, charged into the crowd, braving bullets.

C-level mutant psionicist!

Slightly closer to the interior of the camp, the figure that had been knocked out by the soldiers activated a shield, and a visible shockwave erupted from the back of its head. One by one, the soldiers fell backward, clutching their heads and screaming in agony.

Rank B Psychic!

Six intruders launched an attack simultaneously, three of whom were surprisingly B-level psionicists!

The enemy has also gone all out!

All the psionicists wore expensive combat suits, and combined with their own abilities, the powerful combat force they unleashed was simply too much for ordinary soldiers to handle.

Two humanoid mechs hiding in the shadows immediately appeared and launched an attack.

Several special operations teams have already surrounded the camp from the outside.

These six psionicists, who somehow managed to get close to the outside of the camp, were now incredibly close to their respective targets. Five of them took advantage of the chaos to force their way forward and hurled more than a dozen bottles of pink liquid into six different ventilation shafts!

Amidst the slight sound of shattering glass, a C-rank psionicist’s head was struck by the beam of the Destruction Cannon, instantly blasting half of it off!

Sniper rifle fire!

Special forces unleash powerful bursts of fire!

The humanoid mechs slid through the crowd and rushed into the area.

The remaining five psionicists had completed their mission. Without lingering in battle, they turned and broke out in different directions, capturing ordinary soldiers to use as shields and limit the military’s firepower.

The camp was becoming increasingly chaotic.

The remaining two C-level psionicists were suppressed by the warriors.

Two B-level psionicists were caught up by the humanoid mech and began to fight.

Only one B-level physical enhancement psychic broke out of the camp, and unfortunately, he headed straight for Wang Jixuan’s temporary supply station.

Master Wang is already putting on the X Armor, but it will take some time to put it on.

This mutated psionicist, covered in ‘black crocodile skin,’ was now running wildly across the desert, using both hands and feet, unleashing an incredible speed.

‘If it doesn’t work, I won’t wear armor! This great demon, I will surely kill him!’

Master Wang was about to discard his armor and charge out immediately.

“Sir, Peony requests permission to launch an attack.”

Peony said calmly:

“Peony should be able to stall this psionicist.”

The black-clad instructor also leaned out of the car window: “Wang Zheng, just let her go. You don’t need to rush to put on your armor. It’s just a B-level body enhancement type. Peony can handle it.”

Master Wang nodded in agreement: “Try to delay as much as possible, I’ll be right there.”

“Yes, Peony will not let you down, sir!”

Peony answered crisply, turned and walked towards the supply station exit. Taking advantage of the gap when the electric door above opened, she took off the cat ear headband on her head and casually tied up her dark golden hair.

With a bent leg and a springy leap, the loyal wingman R99 Peony, weighing only as much as an average person, nimbly jumped out of the three-meter-deep sandpit.

Wang Jixuan’s men continued to don their armor without stopping, and the image on the holographic projection screen began to change.

After leaving the supply station, Peony gracefully strode towards the northwest in her high heels, her hands clasped in the air, and turned to look towards the camp.

Its calculations were absolutely accurate; after taking about thirty steps, it was exactly in the straight line where the ‘humanoid crocodile’ was charging forward.

The B-level psychic spotted Peony from a hundred meters away. Sensing no threat, he continued charging forward at over 70 miles per hour, kicking up clouds of dust behind him.

“Since the officer didn’t say whether to leave any survivors, Peony has to make her own judgment. We must fully demonstrate Peony’s hand-to-hand combat skills, that’s what Peony thinks.”

Peony murmured softly, wearing white lace gloves, she took a step towards the psychic, spreading her slender, black-stockinged legs.

“die!”

The psionicist roared and charged forward at breakneck speed.

Compared to the speed of this psionicist, Peony’s movements were like practicing Tai Chi in a park, but every movement was so precise: a lunge, a punch, her dark gold hair suddenly flowing backward, her slender arms transmitting the enormous energy generated by her body, and a blue halo appearing on her fist!

【100x Electromagnetic Fist】!

Boom!

Her fair fist shot forward like a cannonball!

The psionicist’s eyes widened!

What happened?

The scenario he envisioned—where he would smash the woman in front of him to pieces—did not occur. Instead, her fist suddenly appeared before him, radiating immense kinetic energy, a blue aura, and a white lace glove encasing the fist…

It was as if a water bag had been hit by a cannonball, with blood, black, and white liquids splashing towards the camp.

The peony’s bow stance and punching motion remains stable and still.

The B-level psychic, whose head had been blown off, rolled forward dozens of meters before collapsing onto the sand, still twitching.

Peony slowly straightened up, her perfect figure standing tall and graceful. The fist that had been thrown out had retracted on its own, and her right hand was generally unaffected, except that there were large bruises on the imitation leather and the delicate glove was completely ruined.

Peony took off her gloves, tossed them on the ground with some disdain, then picked up the hem of her skirt, gave an elegant bow to the headless corpse, and turned to walk towards the temporary supply station.

Incidentally, it also gave orders to the pursuing troops: 【Ignore that beautiful, lovely, and gentle little maid】 【Clean up the body】.

Inside the supply station.

Having just changed into his X-armor, Master Wang frowned and pursed his lips, and couldn’t help but ask:

“Grandpa Blackie? Are these loyal wingmen you developed really that powerful?”

“certainly.”

The black-clad instructor chuckled:

“The loyal wingmen were originally set up to protect our main weapon, the Terror Mech. They were used in conjunction with the Terror Mech to fight against the King-level Blade Beast. Guess how strong it is?”

“Then why is it being stored away? Its combat power is even stronger than that of a humanoid mech. Wouldn’t it be better to put it into the battlefield?”

“The research and development was about to be completed when a verification machine went out of control and destroyed a ground satellite fortress with 1,600 troops, 360 researchers, and 3,000 permanent residents within 15 minutes… No one survived.”

The black-clad instructor sighed:

“Its strength is based on its ability to imitate or even replace human thinking; otherwise, it would be difficult to control all its parts and its powerful energy.”

“And this very foundation determines that it has the potential to become a complete mechanical life form and betray humanity.”

“So we imposed various restrictions on Peony, especially on the weapon system, and gave her to you as your personal bodyguard. After all, I can’t always be by your side as your bodyguard. Although I’m old, I still have many important things to do.”

Wang Jixuan: ……

If he can focus on his cultivation for half a year, then who will protect whom is truly uncertain.

Sigh, it seems a bit troublesome to focus on my spiritual practice right now.

“I’ll take Peony to the military camp to check on these captured psionicists. Sir, could you move this temporary supply station to a different location to avoid being exposed?”

“You little brat, you actually dare to order me around!”

“After you’ve dealt with Mo Feng, I’ll give you a massage just like Ling Tong’s.”

“Will we need to add some weapons and equipment during the transfer?”

The black instructor immediately changed his tune:

“This has nothing to do with your kind of psychic massage. It’s just that as an elder, I’m expressing my care for you, my junior.”

Wang Jixuan gave a thumbs up.

Our Uncle Hei is truly a great man who can bend and stretch.

…

Half an hour later.

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

Wang Jixuan, wearing the X-suit, and Mudan, wearing the regular suit of armor, arrived together at the now-calm main camp on the surface of the fortress.

This standard battle armor is not gender-specific, but when Mudan wore it, she still exuded a somewhat delicate and charming aura.

It did it on purpose.

Ling Tong and the Red Serpent have safely returned to the ground.

Red Serpent was on guard in the distance, piloting her enormous mecha. These mechas required extensive maintenance after each use, and they rarely piloted them.

Ling Tong changed into ordinary combat uniforms and chemical protective suits, and together with two other half-human mechs, interrogated the psionicists in the military camp.

Because the psionicists released some unknown gas, most of the military camp has been quickly cleared.

When Wang Jixuan arrived with Mudan, hundreds of soldiers wearing protective suits were urgently testing the composition of the pink gas at the ventilation shaft.

“how’s it going?”

Wang Jixuan’s processed voice emanated from the silver-white armor.

Ling Tong looked up, and behind the transparent mask of her hazmat suit, her cold expression instantly softened and relaxed.

—During a previous online chat, Wang Jixuan had already revealed that he was the owner of the X Armor.

“The composition of these gases has not yet been determined.”

Ling Tong said softly:

“Let them explain the details to you. I’m not a professional either… Remember to turn on the armor’s filter.”

“Yes, it’s open,” Wang Jixuan replied simply.

A young female officer raised her hand in salute: “Sir! I’ve come to report to you!”

“Thank you for your trouble.”

“Because of the special activator, these gases diffuse very quickly!”

“Even if we shut down these exhaust fans as quickly as possible, the unknown gas still contaminated about 30 percent of the fortress area, and it is showing a tendency to spread further.”

“When designing these fully enclosed underground fortresses, the engineers only considered how to defend against the Blade Beasts’ poison gas, but not how to defend against the poison gas developed by humans themselves.”

“If the poison gas released by those special blade beasts is detected, the fortress ventilation system will automatically switch to a full exhaust system and activate the liquid nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide stored in each layer.”

“But now, we can only operate it manually, which creates a certain time interval, allowing the toxic gas to spread.”

“Moreover, the ventilation shafts chosen by the other side are ventilation shafts that exist in all three cities: the upper, middle, and lower city. The lower city has the most severe spread due to the aging and disrepair of its equipment, the upper city is relatively severe, and the middle city has the smallest spread area.”

“However, strangely enough, the residents have not experienced any discomfort so far.”

The female officer concluded by adding:

“The specific composition of this pink gas is very ordinary; it’s just some fast-release gaseous agents.”

“We also detected extremely faint psionic reactions, which we suspect may be related to the rare abilities of some special psionicists.”

We do not currently have this information.

“above!”

The female officer saluted and then continued with her work.

Wang Jixuan nodded with a smile—though the other person couldn’t see his expression.

Ling Tong added simply, “These psionicists also confessed that they were temporarily transferred from the front lines of the D3 war zone by Mo Feng.”

Is D3 heavily infiltrated right now?

“It’s about to become a colony of psionicists,” Ling Tong said softly. “These attacks are all related to the old war zone of D3… Hmm? Is this the one?”

“Yes!”

Peony quickly saluted, and deliberately replied in a rough, hoarse voice:

“Hello, Commander Ling Tong, I am your wingman. I am not human, but a mechanical being!”

Therefore, I pose no threat to you!

Please don’t reject me!

Wang Jixuan was slightly puzzled and couldn’t understand what was going on.

Ling Tong simply said, “I’ve seen your photo, Peony. There’s no need to overreact.”

“call–“

Peony’s tone was somewhat exaggerated; she gently patted her chest, causing the armored layer to tremble.

“That’s good, that’s good.”

Wang Jixuan ignored all that and asked directly, “Do you need my help interrogating them? I’ve recently come up with some less shady methods.”

“if you can……”

Buzz, buzz!

Ding ding!

Wang Jixuan and Ling Tong’s communicators both beeped at the same time.

【Xiao Zhou: I sent a short video to the command center of Fortress 82. Take a look and see what it means. It was sent by Mo Feng!】

Peony resumed her usual voice: “The video has been captured, do you need to retrieve it?”

“Adjust”.

Several rays appeared on the chest of the peony armor, and a projection screen appeared in front of the group.

It was the same cabin environment, and Mo Feng was still wearing a mask, but she had changed into purple yoga pants and a sports vest, and she even gave herself some special lighting, making her skin look firmer and whiter.

Mo Feng pursed her lips slightly, her pupils reflecting the teleprompter screen, and said calmly:

“I was just pretending to be stupid to lower your guard.”

“How about we play a murder mystery game next? Hehehe, see you later.”

call out!

The video abruptly ended.

Almost at the same moment, a surge of psionic energy suddenly came from the northwest and affected the entire fortress.

In the distance, several soldiers suddenly convulsed, their eyes bloodshot, and lunged at their comrades, biting them.
