Unexpected

Compared to the secretary's anxious expression, Xiao Zhengyan seemed stunned.

He hesitated for two seconds. "Who is that?"

The secretary quickly explained, "It's the one that Deputy Captain Lu of City Direct Military arrested. He's the thug whose ability is suspected of controlling the Blood Pool and who murdered the residents of an entire Livability Building."

Xiao Zhengyan felt as if he had read a report about this matter, but there were far too many people like this who took advantage of the chaos at the time, so he didn't take it to heart.

"So what do you mean by 'disappeared'?"

"They just suddenly disappeared right under everyone's noses. I've already retrieved the surveillance footage; you can see it."

As the secretary spoke, she opened her tablet, displayed the surveillance footage, and showed it to Xiao Zhengyan.

Seeing that Speaker Xiao and his secretary were taking it for granted to ignore them, the members of parliament present were immediately dissatisfied, but they did not show it openly.

Seizing a break in their conversation, the senator with prominent cheekbones interrupted, "Speaker Xiao, this matter can be left to City Direct Military to investigate. You shouldn't waste your energy on such trivial matters."

Xiao Zhengyan said sternly, "This is not a trivial matter; safety is the most important issue."

Now everyone knew that Speaker Xiao was deliberately playing dumb, trying to delay signing the document.

But since they happened to have such a legitimate reason, these lawmakers couldn't really say anything.

It's worth mentioning that Xiao Zhengyan initially intended to postpone the signing, but after watching the entire surveillance footage, he became genuinely worried about the whereabouts of the assailant.

The monitoring room, located in the City Council Building, is heavily guarded, without a doubt.

The young man in the video disappeared quite abruptly, vanishing from the detention room in the blink of an eye, leaving not a trace.

With the assistance of various high-tech methods, whether it's stealth, shrinking, or high speed, it's impossible to escape the monitoring of all devices.

If it involves some kind of spatial mobility, then that's very troublesome; it's definitely an unstable factor that could be brought up in a meeting.

Xiao Zhengyan tapped his fingers rhythmically on the Desktop before speaking.

"Help me pick up the third and fourth squadrons of the City Direct Military."

"Charge!"

"Kill them all."

Gunfire rained down, and explosions roared like thunder.

This fully armed Rebel Army, fresh from the armory, quickly unleashed tremendous energy, sweeping away everything in its path.

This was partly due to the fact that most of the armed forces were not organized, but more importantly, it was because everyone in this Rebel Army was fearless and their firepower was fierce enough to achieve this.

With clear eyes, Commander Zhang looked towards the central area of Forward Base, at the brightly lit buildings, and pointed. "The command post is over there, everyone follow me!"

Large numbers of the Rebel Army responded, grabbing their guns and charging after them.

After all, this Rebel Army numbered nearly ten thousand, and setting aside their heavy firepower, their individual firepower was not much different from that of the city's armed forces.

It can be said that they are an absolutely significant force in the already completely chaotic Forward Base.

At first, some remaining small squads of soldiers managed to fight back, but later everyone understood.

This Rebel Army force is large in number and has heavy firepower. What's the point of a dozen or so of us risking our lives? We should focus on surviving first and then wait for orders from our superiors.

Combat Command Center.

The senior commanders and staff present, watching the wartime surveillance footage, showed no signs of panic.

To be honest, even though the Forward Base has fallen into complete chaos and the city's armed forces have suffered heavy casualties, so far, these senior commanders still do not regard these Rebel Army and rioting civilians as a major concern.

"It seems ignoring it won't work; they're planning to come straight here and behead us."

Someone in the staff made a joke.

"Let's deploy a batch of drones and deal with this rebel group."

No one in the Combat Command Center objected, and the order was issued immediately.

More than 10,000 drones that had been hovering over the residential area turned around at the same time and flew toward the location of the Rebel Army.

Although the riot had been going on for almost an hour, the thick smoke hanging over the Forward Base had not yet dissipated.

This means that drones cannot distinguish friend from foe using the optical instruments on their fuselage; they can only rely on heat source sensing to detect enemies.

Admittedly, this method does not distinguish between friend and foe.

However, thanks to the Rebel Army's ruthless killing of people with city association backgrounds along the way, even if the drone swarm fires indiscriminately, it is unlikely to affect many friendly personnel.

"These troublesome flies have finally arrived."

Among the Rebel Army, Brother Wang, a technician by training, had a strange fanaticism in his eyes. He then turned and shouted, "Xiao Long, bring me that thing I just mentioned."

Soon, three young men carried a cylindrical device to Brother Wang's side.

Brother Wang rubbed his hands together and asked, "Full of energy, right?"

"Brother Wang, you can rest assured that I've done things exactly as you instructed."

The higher the level of technology, the simpler the operation.

Only immature technologies require complicated procedures to run without problems.

Brother Wang then squatted down next to the device and started operating it.

During this time, the drone swarm arrived over the Rebel Army and quickly began dive-bombing.

The instant the gunshot rang out, Brother Wang steadily reached out and pressed the switch on the equipment.

Buzz~

An invisible electromagnetic pulse spread rapidly, instantly engulfing the swarm of drones in the sky.

The rapidly changing electromagnetic field induced high voltages in a large number of drone devices, causing a significant overload on the circuits of many drones. This not only resulted in the loss of some data but also caused considerable hardware damage.

The drones crashed down like hailstones, some remaining intact, others exploding upon impact, leaving only wreckage.

There were so many drones that several unlucky people were even hit and knocked unconscious on the spot.

The Combat Command Center detected this electromagnetic pulse network immediately.

A young staff officer who had been looking relaxed suddenly stiffened.

"A strategic-level Electromagnetic Pulse Jamming Station? How did these rebels get their hands on one?"

Electromagnetic pulse jammers are what we call EMPs. Considering the technological level of the Mona people, this equipment is likely to be of little use to Mona people. Therefore, the military in the shelter did not transport large quantities of EMP missiles to the ground.

The staff officer had no idea that the rabble he saw actually possessed such equipment.

"This is a bit troublesome. Should we deploy the Exoskeleton Legion?"

"No need, leave it to us."
