Chapter 105: Seizing Memory
The commanders of the Icefield Defense Group and the Mellen Bank Group quickly reached a consensus. They ordered their men to open fire and fight back, while at the same time sending people to seize the silver data hard drive in the hail of bullets.
Although the rebels occupied an advantageous terrain, their firepower was still weaker. So although they caused certain casualties to the other side, they ultimately failed to defend the silver data hard drive.
The commander of the Icefield Defense Group glanced coldly at the people on the high ground, but due to the obstruction of the time fog, he could not tell which force those people belonged to.
Although they suffered a lot of losses and lost several soldiers in the process, for them, the goal of the operation had been achieved and there was no need to continue to struggle.
The only pity is that we didn’t figure out the identity of this armed force, making it difficult to retaliate afterwards.
The investigation team evacuated quickly.
Li Yunhan, who was standing high up, was a little anxious. "Just let them go like this? Shouldn't we take the initiative now?"
Zhang Sirui shook his head. "The captain's order to us is to kill as many enemy forces as possible and prevent them from getting the data hard drive. But there is no need to confront them head-on. If the data hard drive is lost, it is lost. Our primary goal is not to expose ourselves. We can only attack again after a large-scale space-time activity occurs. Before that, we can only wait patiently."
Li Yunhan didn't know what the situation was now, but he could see that the investigation team still had a certain level of strength, and there was no guarantee of absolute victory in a head-on confrontation.
But he was also reluctant to let these people go.
We can only wait and see if the captain has other plans.
…
Meanwhile, Snow Ley's side was in chaos.
The Fujido Group and the Spacetime Knights attacked them, especially the crazy Spacetime Knights, who kept rushing towards the crowd and causing them to lose control again and again. At the moment they lost control, small spacetime explosions scattered spacetime matter everywhere, and the formation was divided into a mess.
Before they knew it, the second-level councillors had been separated from Snow Ley.
The reason is simple, because their goals are not the same.
The second-level councillors saw that the Space Knights were frightened out of their wits. They thought they were just here to help, but they didn't expect that the soldiers at the front had either chased the enemy deep underground or died in battle. For them, whether they could complete the mission had become secondary. The most important thing was how to save their own lives.
Therefore, these second-level councilors, including Wu Yisu, subconsciously wanted to run away.
But for Snow Ley, although William was injured, he still possessed considerable combat power. Once the soldiers chasing Grantham could return, the situation on the field would change instantly. For him, the current situation was not bad, and he was even only one step away from success. In this case, he would of course subconsciously move in the direction where Grantham escaped.
And William had to provide him with close protection, so he naturally stood on his side.
On the other hand, Sheriff Violet also knew that he had to protect Snow Ley, but on the one hand, Snow Ley was already protected by William and seemed safer, and on the other hand, these second-level councilors had already lost their composure, and if left unchecked, serious casualties might occur.
For Sheriff Violet, Snow Ley's injury was something he could not bear, but if all these second-level councillors died, it would also be a consequence he could not bear.
So Sheriff Violet subconsciously approached these second-level councilors. Under the repeated suicide attacks of the Spacetime Knights, a large amount of spacetime matter formed an isolation zone, separating these second-level councilors and Snow Ley.
But Snow Ley did not panic, because he did not expect these second-level councilors to do anything. He was waiting for the elite corporate army that was chasing Grantham to come back.
Finally, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard in the distance. The elite troops of the Icefield Defense Group and the Mellon Bank Group finally arrived and immediately counterattacked the Fujido Group. The situation on the field was reversed in an instant!
The rebel fighters who took over the bodies of the Fujido Group soldiers actually got just an ordinary corpse, which could not last long. Moreover, the equipment and combat power levels of both sides were not at the same level, so they were quickly repelled.
"Mr. Snow Ley, we got the data hard drive you requested!"
The commander of the Icefield Defense Group immediately handed over the silver data hard drive with both hands.
Snow Ley showed an ecstatic expression on his face. Although this operation was completely beyond his expectations and resulted in heavy casualties, as long as he could get this thing, it was worth it no matter how many people died.
He immediately stretched out the data interface and wanted to check the data in the hard drive.
But in the next second, the smile on his face disappeared.
Because this hard drive is completely empty, there is nothing in it!
There is only a simple trigger procedure.
And in the next second, a violent explosion suddenly occurred in the nearby area!
While Gao Jingwu and others were buying time through suicide attacks, Grantham controlled by Chen She was not idle either. He not only created some space-time rifts nearby through space-time particles, but also made many space-time particles into special bombs and buried them nearby.
He was not sure where Snow Ley would read the data hard drive, but what was certain was that when he got the data hard drive, Snow Ley would try to read the contents in it as soon as possible.
So Chen She buried these special bombs made by space-time particles in the nearby area, just for this moment!
After a brief moment of shock, Snow Ley went into a state of rage.
"Where is the data here?"
"It's impossible for the Spacetime Knights to use the data here. There must be other forces involved!"
"Find them! Find them!"
Snow Ley obviously couldn't accept this fact.
Because according to the original information, the result of the Naraku Project is actually a special key that points to a special space in the hash space, which can upload and download human consciousness.
Although this key looks simple, it is not something that anyone can use. It requires advanced computing knowledge.
However, none of the people in the Spacetime Knights possessed such conditions, so Snow Ley originally judged that as long as the data hard drive was still in the hands of the Spacetime Knights, the key would be well preserved because the Spacetime Knights would have no way to use it.
But now the results inside have disappeared, which means that another force has obtained the key and has used it.
How could Snow Ley accept this?
William frowned as he looked at Snow Ley, who seemed to be in a state of madness. "The situation seems a little bad now. We should withdraw first and make a long-term plan later."
He found that this incident was completely out of his control. It was too strange that the special forces of Fujido Group and Black Umbrella Group suddenly turned against them and launched an attack on them. William speculated that it must be a special force that mastered some kind of mind control method, otherwise this matter would not make sense at all.
In any case, this time they successfully eliminated Grantham and found the data hard drive storing the Naraku Project, and the interim goal has been achieved.
Although the results of the Naraku plan were not found, will we be able to find them if we continue to linger here? This will only bring greater losses.
The space-time explosions just now did not have much impact on them. The locations of the explosions seemed to be distributed throughout the underground space, and were a certain distance away from where they were.
But even so, William had already developed a strong sense of crisis. This was the innate instinct of a hunter, and he could feel that he seemed to be becoming the prey step by step!
Snow Ley was so angry that he was shaking slightly. He held the data hard drive tightly in his hand. After a long time, he nodded reluctantly and said, "Kill them first!"
"When I get back to the surface, I'm going to gather an army and raze the entire underground to the ground!"
"Although we still don't know which force is plotting against us to get the results of the Naraku Project, as long as I find out, I will eradicate it at all costs!"
William heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Snow Ley did not act rashly. He was still clear-headed. Although he was extremely angry, he still understood the principle of keeping the green mountains, there is no fear of running out of firewood.
However, at this moment, he was shocked to find that a large number of space-time creatures appeared in the time fog!
There are all kinds of strange-looking space-time creatures, some big and some small. The smallest space-time creatures look like black mice, densely packed and creepy.
It turned out to be a tide of beasts from time and space.
Logically speaking, this place is underground in Dawn City, so there shouldn't be any space-time activities or space-time rifts. As for the space-time beast tide, it is simply nonsense.
But at this moment, the space-time beast tide happened, and on a huge scale!
William understood instantly that the previous explosions were not ordinary explosions. They actually created a large number of space-time rifts, which in turn produced a large number of space-time creatures.
This is the opponent’s real killer!
But what puzzled William was that a space-time beast tide of this magnitude could only be created by a synesthesia user with at least level 6 peak energy fluctuations. But Grantham was clearly dead, so what was going on now?
Not only that, this time's space-time beast tide is completely different from the common space-time beast tide. All the space-time creatures are like a well-trained army. They did not run around and indiscriminately attack all humans. Instead, only a small number of people drove those second-level councilors out, while most of the space-time creatures rushed towards William, Snow Ley and their group!
"There is actually a top manipulator at the peak of level 6 energy fluctuations here?!"
William had no idea where this person came from.
He actually waited until now to show up!
"Hurry, no matter which direction you choose, rush out first!" William said loudly.
The road closest to the retreat route is the escape route of those second-level councilors, but a large number of space-time creatures have blocked this road. If you want to rush directly there, you will pay a heavy price.
William knew very well that a space-time beast tide of this scale could not be sustained underground. Even if this powerful manipulator could create a beast tide by consuming a large amount of space-time particles, it would not be able to last for too long. As long as they made a circle underground, the space-time beast tide would naturally disappear.
At this stage, if we confront the Space-Time Beast Tide head-on, we will end up playing into their hands.
But it was not so easy for them to retreat, because the remaining soldiers of the Fujido Group had rushed up desperately, dragging their broken bodies to delay their steps.
Gao Jingwu controlled Fujido Yusuke's body and wielded the alloy sword, rushing straight towards William.
"William, you didn't expect that I would crawl out of hell to take revenge on you!"
Gao Jingwu's eyes were burning with rage. He had fought with William many times in the Western Continent, and the last time he was surrounded and captured was also directly related to William.
When enemies meet, their eyes are red with envy. Although Gao Jingwu was controlling Fujido Yusuke's body and could not exert his full strength, William was also wounded in the previous battle. Both of them were fighting to the death!
William's face showed an expression of extreme shock, because he could feel that the person in front of him did not look like Yusuke Fujido at all, but instead looked like an old rival with whom he often dealt.
But Gao Jingwu had already died in the Western Continent, so how could he appear in Dawn City?
This made William unable to understand.
But at this time he no longer had many choices. He could only fight for his life, kill all the enemies in front of him, and escape from this place.
"Protect Mr. Snow Ley!" the commander of the Icefield Defense Group shouted, and they all gathered around Snow Ley.
But Snow Ley said coldly: "Go away, I don't need your protection!"
He drew out the alloy sword at his waist and chopped down a rebel soldier who rushed up with an alloy sword. Obviously, Snow Ley's own strength was not weak, and he even had a level 5 energy fluctuation, otherwise he would not have risked his life to come underground.
The group of resistance soldiers led by Gao Jingwu could not hold on soon. After all, the bodies of Fujido Yusuke's men could not last for too long.
But just when Gao Jingwu was losing ground and William was about to win, a long alloy sword suddenly appeared from the crack in time and space and pierced William's left shoulder!
In fact, Li Yunhan was originally aiming at William's heart, but William was a master after all, and he changed his body shape in an instant and avoided the vital points.
"Lishan Technology!"
William, Snow Ley and others understood instantly after seeing Li Yunhan and his team's combat uniforms. They never expected that this inconspicuous corporate army that had disappeared from the very beginning was actually the ultimate mastermind!
Although they could not understand why Lishan Technology ambushed them, it was meaningless to dwell on it now. The battle between the two sides had entered a fierce stage and had reached the point of life and death!
But they just couldn't figure out why these space-time beasts only attacked them and were completely indifferent to the people from Lishan Technology?
The people from Lishan Technology could move freely on the ground, and the tide of time and space beasts not only did not attack them, but cooperated with them, rushing towards Snow Ley and others desperately.
…
At this time, Chen She had borrowed the power of Epsilon to elevate himself to the peak state of level 6 energy fluctuations, and the powerful control ability over space-time creatures given to him by Grantham allowed him to control these space-time creatures to cooperate with the rebels in combat.
Chen She felt very strange at this moment, as if he shared all the senses of these space-time creatures at the same time, and was fully aware of all the conditions nearby.
However, this state cannot be maintained for too long, because Epsilon's power is consumed too quickly.
Not only that, this time Chen She has consumed all the space-time particles of the Space-Time Knights branch, and has invested all his capital.
But no matter what, as long as this secret can be kept underground forever, it will be a win for Chen She.
After all, if the space-time particles are gone, we can find ways to earn them again, but if the secret is leaked, Lishan Technology and the resistance will immediately face a catastrophe.
On the other side, some space-time creatures were constantly besieging the second-level councilors who were fleeing in panic.
Sheriff Violet led these second-level councillors and bodyguards in a bloody battle and tried hard to evacuate outside.
But Chen She didn't plan to let them leave yet. After all, he and the resistance fighters from Lishan Technology still had to catch the last train.
After a long time, Chen She opened his eyes.
"about there."
He walked towards the main battlefield.
…
After a fierce battle, the space-time beast tide has gradually subsided, but the investigation team led by Snow Ley has also reached a dead end.
Although the resistance forces on the Lishan Technology side also suffered some casualties, the outcome of the victory or defeat has become very clear.
Snow Ley's eyes were filled with despair, "You are crazy! Are you going to rebel? The Corporate Alliance will uproot you and wipe you out completely!"
Zhang Sirui couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Rebellion? Who do you think we are?"
Another voice came from the distance, "Don't worry, no one will know what happened here."
Chen She walked out of the time mist. The power he borrowed from Epsilon was about to run out, but it was still enough for him to do one last thing.
He stepped forward quickly and grabbed William and Snow Ley's heads with both hands.
"William, you have been fighting with Captain Gao for so many years. Do you think you have won if Captain Gao dies? Sorry, you think too much."
"As for you, Snow Rye..."
"You think you are a big shot on the Silver Star, and you can decide the fate of these ants on the old land with just a wave of your hand. But unfortunately, the hunter will become the prey one day."
Chen She lowered his head slightly and moved his face closer to Snow Ley.
He was not frightened by Snow Ley's gnashing curses, but instead smiled.
"I'm very interested in your memory."
"Hand it over to me!"
