Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 594 Game
"Lu Wu's power, Frost Wine, Sand Tang Jade, or the aura of Heaven and Man?"

Although he didn't think Tiger Three's words were very credible, it did indeed bypass Seven Seven Umbrella and hit him. Thinking this, Qin Huai suppressed the blood rising in his throat and suddenly thrust out his ferocious dragon claws, aiming straight at the head of the six yang leaders in front of him.

boom!
With a loud sonic boom, another heavy punch was thrown. Tiger Three's eyes seemed to be filled with lightning and liquid, and his blazing divine light was like a high-energy laser with millions of lumens, making it difficult for Qin Huai to open his eyes.

"Boiling, Blood Bursting!"

Realizing that his claw attack was entangled by the soft palm, Qin Huai, who had suffered two losses at once, did not think twice. The adrenaline in his body surged and drove the Tianrui Origin Blood to flow through the Ether Dragon's body. The surging power like lava burst out and scattered large patches of flame-like blue-green feathers on the surface of his body.

Qin Huai used his left fist and right claw to parry and block while also launching attacks. His movements were as bold and unrestrained as ink wash painting, revealing a hidden dragon and a tiger, with ferocious claws and horns.

"Three thousand thunderbolts, shake!"

Tiger Three let out a long roar, and dark clouds instantly gathered in the clear night sky. The wind and sand rushed by, the dark clouds rolled, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.

Three pale bolts of lightning, powerful enough to illuminate the city of night, roared furiously as they hurtled towards Qin Huai. The immense power of the lightning pierced the very air, and the air was filled with a fierce wind that smelled of burning.

The blinding flashes of lightning had not yet faded, and the residual heat from the electrolysis of the air had not yet dissipated. The afterimages and the pale lightning shattered at the same time. The ghostly Qin Huai trailed rainbow-colored light in the air. His fingertips had somehow become covered with claw blades transformed from the Thousand Transformations. The True Qi energy covering the deep black blades gave rise to a bright white light.

Evil deeds are easily committed, possessing an indescribable sharpness and a domineering edge capable of destroying most extraordinary characteristics.

Tiger Three immediately recognized that this was the trump card Qin Huai had used to behead Tiger Two and secure the victory.

Now, experiencing firsthand the deadly threat of [Evil Deeds Are Easy to Commit], Tiger Three dared not be careless. He immediately raised his left hand, and a burst of bluish-white lightning shot out, spreading out like thunder in the swamp, destroying the marshland.

The dense lightning plasma, brimming with surging electrical energy, collided with the indestructible white light. The immense force it carried caused Qin Huai's single claw to pause. Tiger Three's left hand emerged the instant the lightning cracked, its four fingers joined together to form a cone, its thumb facing it, sharp as a crane's beak, aiming for Qin Huai's throat.

Deng!
The metal clashed, blood splattered, Qin Huai frowned, his right claw, with its grotesque joints, gripped Hu San's wrist, pulling on the bionic muscles that were constantly overflowing with blue lightning, and suddenly he sank down!
Click~
With a sharp, piercing sound like a bowstring snapping, Hu San's left arm twisted and turned outwards like a pretzel, and bright, blinding lightning burst forth. Instead of dissipating chaotically, it coalesced into a beam of high-energy laser, which, taking advantage of Qin Huai's sudden surprise, slammed into his right arm, melting a horrifying hole!
"grass!"

Large chunks of flesh and bone vaporized and dissipated, bloody words burst from Qin Huai's teeth, and the invincible dragon claws were swept away, only managing to stay in place thanks to the skin and flesh sticking together.

Countless nanocells coalesced and recombine, instantly repairing Hu San's injuries. He then used both hands simultaneously to lock, grab, and grapple, suppressing and colliding with his opponents. His hand movements were a blur, and one could see the influence of various fighting styles from around the world in every move.

The simplest and most direct joint locks and vital point attacks, combined with a super prosthetic body with the strength of a hundred tons, actually gave Tiger Three a temporary advantage in his close combat with Qin Huai.

Meanwhile, the combat satellite equipped with the N6 positron railgun has been positioned in outer orbit, anchored at the Tiger III, with its massive muzzle aimed at the Qinhuai River. Unimaginable, immense energy begins to converge into the gain medium, stimulating high-energy lasers that cannot be looked at directly.

bang bang bang~
The Kunlun armor on Qin Huai's body was dented by the heavy punch of lightning, and the vital energy swirled around him, seeping into his broken bones and muscles.

The company's armed forces emerging from the Kunlun Tower were held back by numerous Water Fiends. The two fought fiercely in the air, with craters and billowing smoke beneath their feet, and countless scattered mechanical wrecks and bloody corpses.

Qin Huai, who had been driving Hu San into retreat with his spear, suddenly sensed something. Looking up, he saw the dark clouds in the sky being dispersed by a huge, blazing pillar of light, which was rapidly approaching like a sword of divine retribution.

"not good."

Before Qin Huai could make a move, Hu San, who was right next to him, suddenly burst into lightning from behind. He rushed forward as if his life depended on it. The trillions of nano-cells in his body broke and reorganized, and in an instant, he lost his human form and turned into a large mass of liquid metal that enveloped Qin Huai's limbs and bones. A huge amount of electrical energy, comparable to that of a small nuclear power plant, was generated and tightly bound the burning glass figure.

At this moment, Qin Huai, who was heavily shackled, unleashed tremendous strength, but found it difficult to break free from the Four Seasons Thunder Shackles that Hu San had desperately transformed into. Seeing the Heavenly Punishment Sword approaching, he threw out Hu Er's two severed bodies, and countless beast skull chains appeared out of thin air, binding them.

Chaos reigns!
The instant the two figures disappeared, a massive positron railgun, like a celestial waterfall crashing down, hurtled down at high speed. Countless high-energy laser beams treated everyone equally, turning the fighting Water Species and the company's armed forces into ashes.

An unbearably bright white beam of light stretched from the sky to the earth. The millions of cyborgs in Night City, regardless of what they were doing at that moment, all stopped and were shocked and trembled by this pure and indescribable destructive power.

The power of the positron railgun was highly concentrated, leaving only a huge crater half a kilometer in diameter and bottomless depth in its original location, without affecting any other area.

The fierce winds raged on, and electric arcs flickered. Qin Huai stood in the ionized air, which was filled with a tingling sensation. He held a liquid metal ball that had been frozen into a large block of ice in his hand, and his whole body was shrouded under a huge, pitch-black umbrella.

"Damn it, I've been playing with eagles my whole life, but I never thought I'd almost get pecked in the eye by one in the end."

Looking at the dilapidated yet still majestic Kunlun Tower before him, Qin Huai gradually deduced the truth of the matter based on the arrangements made by Luwu Heavy Industry earlier.

"Judging from the time, it was almost as soon as I arrived at the fruit plantation that Luwu Heavy Industry sent Tiger Two to Borneo to find me. If they can't predict the future, then my whereabouts must have been leaked through something."

Qin Huai recalled the events of the past and muttered to himself, "Was it simply a mutual attraction of Lu Wu's power? Or was my consciousness detected by Lu Wu Heavy Industry's monitoring methods after entering the Sea of ​​Bitterness? Never mind, it doesn't matter. At worst, I can just avoid some virtual spaces. Even if Lu Wu Heavy Industry really has a way to use the ocean of subconsciousness (the will of the fruit), if I don't actively enter the game, they shouldn't be able to do anything to me."

As for the mutual attraction of Lu Wu's power...

Qin Huai looked up at the direction from which the positron orbital cannon had come from, and after confirming that no further attacks were coming, he felt relieved: "It should only be able to sense within a local area, otherwise there's no reason why it would notice that I had avoided the bombardment but not continue to strike."

"Since Luwu Heavy Industry has ulterior motives, laying such a tight net, and even using weapons of war like Tiger II and Tiger III, which can sweep away other companies, as bait to lure me in, what exactly is it after? My soul, my blood sample, or the inheritance of Yanfu? Could it be that the board of directors of Luwu Heavy Industry has discovered the secret of walking?"

Qin Huai, after assessing the power of the Yang electron railgun, was completely baffled.

The positron railgun was incredibly powerful, a perfect embodiment of futuristic technological advancements. Its single-point damage even surpassed that of some high-yield nuclear bombs. Even though his physical body possessed some strength comparable to that of the Proxy, being hit head-on would not end well for him.

"Do they simply want me dead? Otherwise, what's the point of my body turning to ashes and vaporizing, leaving only my three souls and seven spirits?"

Filled with doubts, Qin Huai, whose injuries had almost fully healed, took one last look at the unyielding Kunlun Tower, recalled the remaining wounded but not dead species around him to Chaoyang Valley, and vanished in the blink of an eye. Inside the Bronze Hall of the Heavenly Palace Space Station.

"A completely new ability to create dimensions, different from the previous ability to travel through space."

The furry giant face inside the crystal jar looked at the frozen scene before it, its gaze lingering on the beast skull chains that appeared around Tiger Two for a long time before it finally spoke with a sense of relief.

"He's disappeared again, probably using the same methods as before."

As the marine creatures vanished into thin air, Tu Lou frowned slightly, his words tinged with apprehension.

"What should we do next? This incident has surely alerted him and put him on guard,"

Qin Yuan's eyes flickered as he glanced at Kai Ming, who had just emerged from the company's intranet.

"Sit back and wait."

After saying that, Kaiming shrugged and stopped talking.

Qin Yuan then looked at Ying Zhao, only to find that this company veteran who had spearheaded the establishment of Luwu Heavy Industry had merely nodded slightly and said, "That Yanfu traveler came for Lord Luwu. If he wants what he wants, he has no choice but to come to the Heavenly Palace. In fact, he may have already seen through our actions, but this is an open strategy. At our level, an open game is often the most effective."

"We can prepare for battle."

Now that things had come to this, Qin Yuan naturally understood his colleagues' determination and also fell silent.
"Go and prepare yourselves. Whether he finds the Heavenly Palace or not, I will settle this matter."

The furry giant face boomed, gave its instructions, and then returned to its scattered state with nine cloud tails, remaining silent.

"Yes."

The group of friends exchanged glances and then left one after another.
-
Night City, in the Rusty Iron Harbor, a slum teeming with all sorts of people.

With four dishes and a soup laid out in front of him, Qin Huai put down Hu Er's head, which was frozen into a large block of ice, and frowned: "This won't work. I don't know who wrote the firewall of Luwu Heavy Industry. It's probably at the highest level five. It's hard to break through with my half-baked hacking skills. I'm afraid we'll have to find outside help."

Perhaps because at the end of the last Yanfu incident, Ghost Lord Su Ling severed Zou Yan's consciousness, Qin Huai did not find the purchase permission for [Tan Tianyan] in the final settlement. This caused him to be unable to break through to level five with the ultimate methods of other schools as references, even though his hacking skills based on the Yin Yang School's [Tianwen Changge] could not solve the network security protection of Luwu Heavy Industry, whose programming logic was different from most cyber gods and Buddhas.

"Who should I contact? I remember Qingfu seems to have some cyber-related secrets, but he used a prosthetic body to crack electronic devices last time, so remote support might not be possible. Forget it, let's just contact Houtu. She has so many cyber godhoods, cracking an ICE would be a piece of cake for her."

After thinking it over carefully, Qin Huai casually picked up the crab-stuffed orange on the table and poured it into his mouth. The fresh and fragrant liquid made of wine, chrysanthemum, orange, and crab went down his throat into his stomach.

【Crab Stuffed Orange】: A cold dish from the menu "Mountain Dwelling's Pure Offerings". Eating it can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and help tendons and bones heal.

With his finger pressing the [external electronic brain] hanging by his ear, Qin Huai directly found an anime girl's avatar in the contact list, and the Cross-Ye Hai Roaming Communication immediately rang.

"I'm eating fried chicken in People's Square, while you are right now."

[External Electronic Brain] flashed rapidly. Before the trendy ringtone could play for more than two lines, Hou Tu, who was dozing off while holding her computer, appeared on Qin Huai's iris as a holographic projection.

"Hey? Why is it so dark where you are? Are you being chased again?"

"More or less, Lady Houtu. I would like to ask you for a favor."

Qin Huai smiled helplessly and pointed to the three ice blocks beside him: "I don't know if you still remember, I asked you for a Dream Seeking Scroll before, intending to find clues about the parts of Lu Wu's inheritance with the help of the Tapir."

"Oh, I remember, that's what happened."

Houtu tilted her head, picked up a cup of espresso from the table next to her, and glanced at Qin Huai almost imperceptibly as she drank it: "What happened? Did something happen when you went into the fruit to touch the parts? Logically speaking, if you were the one going to find Lu Wu, there shouldn't have been any major trouble."

"There is indeed no great danger. I am currently located in the sixty-three fruits of the Earthly Branch Yi Hai under your jurisdiction. I have basically searched all the places in Lu Wu Heavy Industry where the parts might be located, but I did not expect that there was an ambush there, as if they knew I would run into it."

After a pause, Qin Huai continued, "After dealing with them, the trail went cold. Only these two modified humans, whose strength is comparable to that of an Executor, possess the power of Lu Wu. I thought that perhaps we could find something from their brains, so I called you."

"Human resources are sometimes limited. If your skills aren't up to par, you need to put in more effort to hone them and stop wasting your time fighting everywhere."

Just as Houtu, feigning maturity, was about to offer a few more words of advice, she realized that Qin Huai before her seemed to be more than one person; he had several clones.
"Here's what you do: plug the data cable of the external electronic brain into their bodies, and I'll take a look."

"clear."

Qin Huai followed instructions and removed the cochlear-shaped external electronic brain, pulling out two wires to connect to Hu Er's brain-computer interface and the silvery-white liquid mass that Hu San had transformed into.

Soon, Houtu, the cornerstone of Yan Zhaohui and the lord of eight million Ninja Lands, spared a thought and, through the tentacle of Ace Ninja Land Zero, descended into the internal network of Luwu Heavy Industry connected by Tiger Two and Tiger Three.

It's called an intranet, but it's actually no different from the grottoes and temples of those cyber gods and Buddhas, and may even be larger and more secretive.
