Outside the window, the night wind was cold as it blew by.

The Crosson Base that was surrounded by mountains billowed with fog, and the sound of electronic static could be heard inside the car.

The virtual screen hovered in front of the windshield, and the tracked target was precisely positioned on the map. Countless streams of complex data scrolled across the screen.

The steady and powerful hands seemed to fly as they moved in the vehicle. The sight for the anti-aircraft photon gun and night vision camera were snapped into place. Metal parts slightly collided as the scope was installed on the body of the gun, and the gun barrel was lifted––

The screen displayed a series of calibration data.

The man swept an indifferent eye over the panel, and the thick gun callused finger pressed down again.

There was a click.

The knife-type core was calibrated, and a light flickered in the dim environment.

The second gun was assembled.

The communicator rang. Mao Dongqing reported, “Brother Wei, S195 direction, 600 meters. There has been no change in the target, and the heart rate is steady at 90 beats per minute. Support will arrive in seven minutes.”

Wei Shi grunted in acknowledgement.

The window to the suspension car sank down, cold wind blowing by like a pulse––

The man removed his Crosson combat jacket, revealing the powerful body beneath his combat vest.

Wei Shi jumped down.

Floating Base.

Researcher Song’s breathing stilled, and he turned pale, “Brother Wei is going in just like that???

Arjun stretched, “What did you expect? This isn’t a survival show competition. There’s no routine. Just go in and fight!”

In the middle of the screen, the blue dot representing Wei Shi was getting closer and closer to Shao Yu––

The photon beam burst out abruptly, the brilliant rays bursting out like fireworks through the infrared monitoring lens. Shao Yu was caught off guard and beaten to a disadvantage, but he soon took out his gun to fight back within a few seconds.

Shao Yu’s breath came short, but his combat experience wasn’t inferior to Wei Shi’s. He even had time to curse quietly, “Bastard.”

Wei Shi didn’t move.

This was a luxurious suburban villa. The alarms had been fully triggered by the firefight, and the wooden furniture had been hit by the photon beam, the fire cluster instantly melting it into charcoal even before it could start up a fire.

The security robots on patrol nearby rushed over like meteors, but someone else was even faster than they were––

Outside the window, the two Floating City support teams had finally arrived.

Shao Yu suddenly cursed viciously.

The photon beam had grazed across his carotid artery when it was fired. Shao Yu finally smelled the scent of burning flesh, and sensed the tingling pain that was enough to make people tremble spread out from the side of his neck. Shao Yu followed suit and shivered.

The pain travelled from the surface of his skin to his spinal cord, to his intracranial nerves. All of his nerve endings opened up in excitement as if they had been plunged into warm water. The pupils nestled in those peach blossom eyes suddenly dilated.
