A lone bicycle runs the blockade

Su Xiaoxiao reached out her hand and groped towards the air in front of her.

My fingertips touched a cool, highly elastic, invisible film about half an inch from the front of the car.

The air was filled with a pungent smell, a mixture of rust and ozone.

"Is this a high-level electromagnetic and Magic Power composite interference barrier? Has the Monster Hunting Bureau extended its blockade this far?"

Su Xiaoxiao withdrew her hand and took out the old cell phone from her pocket.

She opened her contacts, dialed Su Bai's private number, and held the phone to her ear.

"Answer the phone, Hajige! Are you in there or not?!"

The familiar ringtone didn't come through the receiver.

A sharp, high-level Deep Space radiation blinding sound pierced the eardrums, followed by a cold, mechanical, repetitive female voice.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is not in service. According to Deep Space Security Regulations, this frequency band has been temporarily taken over..."

"Number not found? Even civilian base stations have been cut off!"

Su Xiaoxiao hung up the phone, her fingers tightening around the phone.

"This is no ordinary gang fight; the concentration of Magic Power involved has triggered the highest level of official information censorship!"

"Hajige, that ordinary college student who's even afraid of killing chickens, were trapped in Barrier of this level, he wouldn't even be able to escape!"

She put her phone back in her pocket, took a half step back, and wiped her chest with her right hand.

Golden light burst forth from her body, instantly dispelling the gloom surrounding the green belt.

The tiny umbrella, originally no bigger than the palm of her hand, swelled in the wind and transformed into a magnificent golden lace umbrella, which she held in her hand.

Su Xiaoxiao took out the Shard the Military Star Ring with her left hand.

"Since they are from the same Star Ring Frequency, then use your own keys to open the door!"

She located a groove at the bottom of the golden lace umbrella handle and forcefully inserted the half of the glowing red Star Ring Shard was holding into it.

A crisp click.

The metal Shard was perfectly wedged into the umbrella handle of the Idealistic Magical Armor.

Buzz--!

The violent energy of the Military Star Ring clashed violently with the Pure Wishforce of Starshine inside the umbrella handle.

"Absolute Refraction, reverse analysis!"

Su Xiaoxiao gripped the umbrella handle with both hands, aimed the tip of the umbrella at the invisible wall of air in front of her, and thrust it forward with a sudden thrust.

The dazzling golden light that erupted from the Magic Power resonance poured out along the umbrella ribs.

A golden light, interspersed with dark red pulsed arcs, collided head-on with the electromagnetic ripples in the air.

Sizzle--!

A series of blue and white sparks exploded in mid-air.

The golden light tore through the dense electromagnetic waves in reverse, and a crisp sound like shattering glass echoed in the air.

On the once seamless barrier of interference, a gap large enough for a person to pass through has appeared amidst the subtle flow of Magic Power.

Su Xiaoxiao lowered her body and squeezed into the crack that had been forcibly torn open by the golden umbrella tip.

The air still carried the lingering smell of burnt ozone, mixed with the dampness emanating from the old brick walls.

She steadied herself on the gravel and, using the weeds for cover, quietly approached the ventilation skylight of the underground storage room.

Inside that smoke-filled hall, the battle had already been decided.

Ziwei grabbed the leader of the assassins by the collar of his combat uniform with one hand and pressed him against the sunken and cracked load-bearing wall.

The enormous, dark gold scythe hung in mid-air, its sharp blade wedged against the Artificial Star Ring interface at the back of the opponent's neck.

The metal struck the hard mechanical casing, sparking a short burst of red electricity.

"Let go... cough..."

The leader of the suicide squad had his limbs hanging limply, and the combat armor on his chest was completely dented and deformed.

Mint and Clear Bell spread their arms and rushed to the corner of the hall to protect the group of children huddled together behind them.

The short staff in Mint's hand still glowed with a faint pale blue light as she stared intently at the scattered bullet casings on the ground.

The warheads had a faint, dark blue sheen on their surfaces, and were clearly engraved with Federation Military Industry Serial Number.

Why do you possess Armor-Piercing Crystal Bullets?

Mint spoke loudly in the hall, her voice filled with barely suppressed accusation.

"This is specially supplied ammunition to the Elite Armored Battalion of Xinghai City's Regular Defense Force."

"You can't buy this size of military supplies on the black market with ordinary modified goods."

"You bunch of sewer rats, where did you get this batch of logistical supplies?"

The leader of the assassins moved his lips with difficulty, and a dry, heavy breathing came from his throat.

He spat out a mouthful of saliva mixed with engine oil and black blood, the bloodstains landing on the cement fragments beside Ziwei's boots.

"Military supplies?"

The leader of the assassins tilted his head, his facial muscles twitching violently from the pain, yet his expression revealed a morbid pleasure.

"Little girl, do you really think that just because you're wearing this glamorous dress, you've become Savior?"

"Star Team... Ha, a bunch of clueless civilian ragtag militia."

"You have no idea what you're fighting against, let alone what kind of game the higher-ups are playing."

He rolled his bloodshot eyes and met Ziwei's mask with a fierce look.

"From beginning to end, you were nothing more than a bunch of Living Blood Bags pushed to the forefront by the authorities to attract attention."

"In the eyes of those powerful figures, every battle you fight is merely experimental consumables used to collect extraordinary data!"

Through his gas mask, Su Bai calmly gazed at the dying prisoner.

The Workplace Frequency deep within my mind didn't even cause the slightest fluctuation.

All he wanted to know was if the guy still had any valuables on him, and also to settle his lost wages for tonight.

"Answer her question: Where did the bullets come from?"

Ziwei slightly lowered her wrist, and the blade of the scythe cut halfway into the depths of the Star Ring.

"Also, which outpost in the city is the buyer who sent you here hiding in?"

The leader of the assassins let out a maniacal chuckle.

"Buyers? You think you can launder that little bit of dirty money without anyone noticing?"

"You guys were quite comfortable using that astronomical sum of money in the Fan Support Club's account the other day, weren't you?"

"Curious about where the money went? That seven million reward was originally intended as funeral money for you!"

The words echoed loudly in the hall, the sound striking the surrounding concrete pillars.

Seven million?

Su Bai's fingers tightened slightly around the sickle handle.

Who is that mysterious, Benefactor “C”, with the gold badge, who spends lavishly in that encrypted channel?

I originally thought it was some rich young lady from a collateral branch of the Ye Family doing charity work out of foolishness and wealth, and even using her as a long-term meal ticket for the Team.

It turned out to be a written deposit for buying one's life.

The other party already knew about Star Team's financial situation and even put a price tag on the money for them.

"This is truly disgusting commercial fraud."

Ziwei coldly uttered a sentence, then strained her arm muscles, preparing to sever the opponent's Star Ring Nerve.
