Ember Base, ground base
"Captain."
"Well, I understand, Ember Underground Core Area domain's defense system is on."
Benjamin threw away the head of Gang Yan in his hand, and a pair of Cybernetic Eye with thermal imaging function was firmly locked not far ahead, at the entrance to the core area of the Ember underground base.
Warning lights flickered on and off around the entrance, lengthening the shadows of everyone nearby.
The heavy alloy gate exudes a suffocating sense of oppression at this moment.
This seems to be telling everyone at Benjamin that as long as they dare to cross this gate and step into the core area of Ember.
What awaits them will be Nightmare that is comparable to hell.
But now, whether it is Benjamin or anyone else, they will not stop there.
Moving forward is their only option.
In the muddy ruins of Ember's ground base in the rain, Gang Yan's head, which was thrown by Benjamin, rolled down a distance and finally stopped in a muddy puddle.
Not far away, his originally rocky body had returned to normal, and after a 'plop', he fell heavily.
The blood flowing from the fracture on his neck combined with the rain falling from the sky, dyeing the surrounding puddles blood red.
And his head, which was soaked in blood, had eyes wide open, showing an obvious look of disbelief.
Ember Star Envoy, who is famous for his ability to turn into rocks, seems to be using this method at this moment to tell his embarrassing exit that is unbelievable until his death.
Three Rank 2 Star Envoy plus dozens of Rank 1 Star Envoy sneak attacks.
Using such a luxurious lineup to deal with him, these damn Association Star Envoy. really think highly of him.
Noticing Gang Yan's unblinking eyes on the ground, an imperceptible sneer curled up at the corner of Benjamin's mouth.
Now one of Ember's two secondary combat abilities has been lost, and the strongest Yun Meng is trapped in the "game field" by Gorn.
The other 'trash fish' are Beast Tide who are busy dealing with the coastline
There is no doubt that now is the best time for him to enter the core area of Ember Base, look for the 'Key', and complete the family mission.
However, although Benjamin had other intentions, he not only did not tell him about it.
Instead, another, more high-sounding excuse was used.
And this excuse is 'justice'.
The matter of 'Key' is their Iron Dome Family secret, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.
Even to protect this secret.
He can also shut up the people around him forever when the time comes.
As a Mechanical Star Envoy loaded with [Human Emotion Simulation Program].
Benjamin not only knows how to hide his true thoughts.
At the same time, he also knows how to make the most of the people around him.
"Everyone!"
In the rainy night, Benjamin's voice suddenly became louder, and his expression became inexplicably excited.
"Ember is one of the dangerous organizations marked by the Star Envoy Association. As long as we can completely eradicate this organization today and rescue the 'innocents' trapped inside."
"Then everyone here will become the heroes of New Federation!"
"So, let's go and let these guys who like to play with human lives and disrupt order know."
"Victory is always on the side of justice!"
Benjamin raised his blood-stained right fist high, and his loud voice seemed to have a magical power that could confuse people's hearts. It only subsided after reverberating in the rain for a long time.
Then, he looked at the people around him who had been emotionally aroused by him, and with an extremely "firm" tone and expression, he shouted those four words that struck a chord.
"Justice will win!"
"Must win!!!"
With everyone shouting in unison, they rushed into the core area of the Ember underground base that activated the defense mode called 'Endless Maze City' without hesitation.
As for what dangers they may encounter after entering it.
Most of them don't care anymore.
Because they feel that what they do is already higher than life!
Looking at this group of passionate people with the light of 'justice' shining in their eyes, Benjamin sneered secretly in his heart.
justice?
This is really a useful slogan.
Because as long as these two words are used, stupid and emotional humans can bet everything on it.
Even if the bet is their lives.
Encouraged by Benjamin, everyone rushed into the underground core area of Ember Base regardless of the danger.
For the justice in their hearts, they are not afraid of danger!
At this time, Chen Kong and the others had just arrived at the west beach and tried to destroy the Star Monument placed there.
Ember Underground Core Area, Quantum Hub Control Room.
Didi didi——!
Inside Quantum Hub Control Room, the sounds of a large number of precision Smart Machine instruments continued to echo in this confined space.
Tiandao looked at the surveillance screen. The blond man named 'Benjamin' was using very exaggerated body movements to deliver his passionate speech called 'Justice'.
A sarcastic smile appeared on his face.
"Is victory always on the side of justice?"
It is true that Ember, as an organization, has indeed done a lot of disgraceful things secretly.
But in general, compared to New Federation and other Star Envoy organizations that have done all kinds of bad things.
Ember In the entire New Federation, it can only be regarded as chaotic neutral at best, not chaotic evil at all.
At the same time, Star Envoy Association is the largest and strongest Star Envoy organization of New Federation.
It is far less glorious than what they say.
Tiandao feels that they can only be regarded as lawful neutrality at best, and are far from the level of lawful justice.
After all, Ember has done many disgraceful things, so why not Star Envoy Association?
If Star Envoy Association is really as good as they advertise.
Then in this world, there won't be so many Star Envoy organizations independent of the Star Envoy Association.
[The current intruder scan has been completed]
[Rank 2 Star Envoy x3, Rank 1 Star Envoy x20]
[Rank 2 Star Envoy scan information is as follows.]
[Metal Detonation·Benjamin (upper level)]
[Clockwork Knight·William (median)]
[Sea Spider·Isaiah (median)]
Looking at the intruder information listed in 'Quantum Hub System·Glimmer',
Tiandao placed his hand in a groove on the console.
[Identity authentication has been passed. Dear S-Class Authority Holder·Tiandao Siming, what is the command you want to give to the 'Ember Mechanical Nexus program·Glimmer'?]
"Lift all restrictions on anti-personnel weapons in the underground core area, and shut down all non-weapon power systems except Quantum Hub, Star Beast Research Area, and Quantum Shuttle Room."
"The efficiency of the base defense system·Endless Maze City will be maximized, and all Star Beast experimental subjects imprisoned in Star Beast Research Area will be released after half an hour."
[Warning: Some of the operations you mentioned have huge risks of losing control. Are you sure to execute them?]
"Yes."
Hear a positive reply from Tiandao.
In the quiet Quantum Hub Control Room, the unique cold AI female voice of 'Quantum Hub system·Glimmer' echoed.
[As ordered, respected S-Class Authority Holder·Tiandao Siming.]
[The non-weapon power system in most areas of the core area is shut down. The power system in the dormitory area has been shut down, and the power system in the canteen area has been shut down.]
[The efficiency of the base defense system·Endless Maze City is being improved, current efficiency: 110%]
[Star Beast Research Area's experimental subject release countdown: 29:59]
Under the control of 'Ember Mechanical Nexus program·Glimmer'.
The entire underground core area began to undergo earth-shaking changes.
The first thing that appeared was the base defense system with ever-increasing efficiency—Endless Maze City.
I saw Ember Base underground core area suddenly emitting a large number of metal roars similar to the rotation of gears.
The corridor began to rotate and reorganize like a Rubik's Cube.
The surrounding walls are slowly shifting, driven by many special devices.
These movements are combined to create the unique phenomenon of Ember Underground Core Area at the moment.
A huge underground maze that is constantly changing and has no rules.
And this is the so-called 'Endless Maze City'.
After all, when you walk from 'Area 1' to 'Area 2' and then go back the same way, you find yourself in 'Area No. 11'.
The direction has completely lost its meaning to you, and you are forced to be trapped here.
And Tiandao just said to improve the efficiency of 'Endless Maze City'.
The effect is to speed up the transformation of this space.
Let the space that originally changed every half a minute be increased to change every fifteen seconds.
This further separates Benjamin and others more efficiently.
And all of this is what Yun Meng did in the original work.
It's just that it has been replaced by Tiandao now.
After a while, looking at Benjamin and others who were forced to disperse after passing through several areas on the surveillance screen, Tiandao turned around and left 'Quantum Hub Control Room'.
"There is no such thing as justice will prevail, but justice will only come from the mouth of the victor."
"Because dead people cannot speak."
"At the same time, every place has its own rules. If you come uninvited, you will undoubtedly break our Ember rules."
"In that case."
Tiandao stood outside the metal gate of Quantum Hub Control Room, looking towards the end of the passage illuminated by blood-red warning lights not far away.
"Use your lives and blood to apologize for your rudeness this time."
"And this is our Ember's unique way of hospitality."
After saying that, Tiandao's figure disappeared into the dim passage.
And the sound of his receding footsteps was like the sickle dragged by the god of death on the ground.
Low and full of the chilling aura of death.
