Colonia Storm Tour

The weapon can be retracted, but because the flight thrusters connected to the back of the wiring kit and the outside of the feet take up some space, Hua Zhizi has to press her body against Lin Haiyuan's back and wrap her arms and legs around Lin Haiyuan's neck in order to enter the cockpit.

Sensing the awkwardness, Lin Haiyuan thought for a moment and said, "I'm wearing a Synchronized Ninja Nano Combat Suit, so I can't take advantage of you. Hurry up."

Then he focused his attention on the Turtle Cannon, since it was his first time directly operating the infiltration vehicle Turtle Cannon, and his mind was not on the Gardenia behind him at all.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Hua Zhizi blushed slightly and wrapped her arms around Lin Haiyuan's neck, pressing her body against his back. She then crossed her legs and placed them on his thighs.

"Ready to go, WalkerNet AI, prepare to teleport."

Lin Haiyuan used the vehicle's in-vehicle communicator to notify Walker.com AI.

“传送倒计时5、4、3、2、1。”

The moment the Walker AI counted down to 1, emanating from the speaker integrated into the other side of the multi-functional display, a familiar feeling of weightlessness immediately enveloped the two of them.

The entire Turtle Tank disappeared instantly within a second of the teleportation zone created by the teleportation particle.

On the rooftop of DEM's headquarters in the UK, accompanied by a deep, time-space teleportation sound effect and a faint blue light, the Terror Turtle Cannon appeared stealthily via time-space teleportation with minimal noise.

According to GLONASS satellite surveillance of the DEM headquarters rooftop, the rooftop was completely empty, providing ample space and structural support for the Turtle Cannon, while also preventing anyone from detecting the teleportation light.

When Earth's gravity pressed down on their shoulders again, Lin Haiyuan and Youhua Zhizi knew the teleportation was complete.

"Master, Eureak, the time-space teleportation is complete. Please complete your mission as soon as possible to escape. This place is far too dangerous for you."

Walker.com AI provided a reminder.

"Hmm/I understand"

After Lin Haiyuan and Youhua Zhizi answered at the same time, Youhua Zhizi, who entered the cockpit last, was definitely the first to go out.

Youhua Zhizi carefully withdrew her hands and feet, swaying her body to avoid the flight thrusters on her back and feet hitting the cabin wall. Then, Lin Hai handed the two toolboxes inside to Youhua Zhizi outside to hold first, and then nimbly jumped out of the Terror Turtle Cannon and neatly closed the hatch.

To people or objects without detection capabilities, the dust on the entire rooftop appeared to spread unnaturally, like human footprints.

However, Walker.com AI confirmed that there are no surveillance devices on the roof of DEM's headquarters. Unless they make a big commotion up there, DEM will not know that two people with ill intentions have come up there in the short term.

"Are you sure you can hear me?"

Lin Haiyuan conducted a test conversation with Youhua Zhizi through the built-in communicator.

"I heard it, but wouldn't it be strange if a voice appeared in an empty place during the operation?"

Gardenia expressed her doubts.

"Just keep your voice as low as possible when you speak. The communicators on both sides of your hair will transmit your voice to me."

After Lin Haiyuan finished speaking, he immediately began to take action.

The first obstacle they would face was the iron gate on the roof. This iron gate appeared to be locked on the side facing the stairwell. Normally, to open this iron gate in the correct way, someone would need to get the key from the stairwell side of the iron gate. However, Lin Haiyuan, who was carrying the toolbox of the Burning Wind Engineer, would not let a mere locked iron gate stop them.

"Do we need to break down the iron gate?"

Gardenia took out her beam knife, ready to cut open the iron gate.

"Let's skip that. From the very beginning to the very end, I didn't want DEM to realize that their technology had been stolen."

Lin Haiyuan waved for her to put down her weapon, then picked up the yellow toolbox, opened it, and took out a crowbar—yes, a crowbar.

"Chief Lin, is there any difference between this and cutting open an iron door with my beam saber...? Besides, hitting an iron door with a crowbar would make a loud noise, wouldn't it?"

Gardenia asked, puzzled.

"No, take a good look at this culmination of technology."

As Lin Haiyuan spoke, he pressed the tip of the crowbar against the door crack and pressed a hidden button on it. The nanodrones stored in the crowbar immediately began to slowly emerge from the outlet at the tip.

After the nano-drone burrowed through the gap that even a thread could not penetrate, it entered the door lock and formed itself into an amorphous key, constantly probing the structure of the keyhole.

After a few seconds of this process, the nanodrones assembled into a suitable key.

With a click and a creaking sound as the iron gate slowly turned, the nanodrone, having completed its mission, returned to the crowbar.

The entire door opening process took less than a minute, which stunned Youhua Zhizi, who was standing nearby.

"Don't underestimate the uses of foehn technology in small places. The foundation of nanotechnology starts from tiny things, hehehe."

Lin Haiyuan's final smile resembled that of a successful hostage-taker.

"Ok."

You Hua Zhizi could only retract her beam sword and then stealthily followed Lin Haiyuan.

Lin Haiyuan made sure to close the door again to prevent anyone from seeing the open rooftop door and becoming suspicious.

The process of going down the stairs is different from that of Lin Haiyuan, who walks. The gardenias are "floating," which literally means floating.

"Won't using CR-UNIT within DEM be discovered by other means?"

Lin Haiyuan turned his head and asked.

"I'm just activating my random domain to adjust gravity and levitate. As long as I don't bump into other people or objects, or come into contact with other random domains, I shouldn't be detected by anyone except for those with exceptionally keen senses, as mentioned in the knowledge you gave me, Chief Lin."

Even Gardenia had never heard of her wiring harness being detected by any special device.

"...Then remember this: Isaac Ray Pelham Westcott and Alan Mira Mathers, you'd better stay far away from them immediately. Those two might have a special sense and be able to detect us when we're invisible, understand?"

Lin Haiyuan warned her.

"learn."

After Hua Zhizi nodded gently, she continued to float and follow Lin Haiyuan.

The DEM headquarters building is comparable in height to the Empire State Building in New York, resulting in hundreds of floors.

This explains why the original work mentions that Ellen Mira Mathers climbed 26 floors due to an elevator power outage, and then was carried by Artemisia to climb 4 more floors in one go, finally reaching the 30th floor, the floor where the villainous BOSS Isaac's room is located.

Lin Haiyuan and Youhua Zhizi, who are clearly not physically disabled, have no problem climbing stairs at all. Moreover, Youhua Zhizi doesn't even walk on the ground. As for elevator facilities, they can't use those things.

Holy crap, the elevator suddenly opened, then closed, and then the elevator floor buttons automatically selected a floor and the elevator arrived at that floor. This world-renowned company isn't unattended; seeing this ghostly situation, they'd definitely come to investigate what happened.

Moreover, Lin Haiyuan and Youhua Zhizi had to go to densely populated areas in order to find Edgar F. Carroll. Youhua Zhizi gathered useful information through people's eyes and ears, while Lin Haiyuan used his mental powers to peer into the hearts of these people.

The intelligence gathering efforts on the gardenia were destined to be futile, but Lin Haiyuan, who was using his mental powers, quickly found a suitable target: a researcher wearing a white coat.

Although it's unclear what this researcher is specifically responsible for, they should know where the office of the head of the development department is, right? And coincidentally, this researcher was heading towards the men's restroom on that floor.

"Youhua, follow me. I've found a suitable target to ask this question."

After Lin Haiyuan finished speaking, he silently followed the researcher and avoided the people passing by.

"Yes."

A gardenia floated above the ceiling in a soaring, outstretched-wing posture, avoiding contact with anyone in its random area.

After the researcher entered the men's restroom, Lin Haiyuan made a stop gesture towards the gardenias above his head and then pointed his ring finger downwards.

This tactical hand gesture means to stop and wait here.

"learn."

Gardenia began to vigilantly observe the area around the men's restroom, keeping watch for Lin Haiyuan. She would immediately alert Lin Haiyuan if anyone approached.

Lin Haiyuan entered the restroom and followed the male researcher into a cubicle. Just as the man was about to take off his pants...

Lin Haiyuan immediately activated his mental power, shouting, "Hail to me!"

After uttering a Yuri Replicant (YR) console command, Lin Haiyuan, using his mental powers, immediately broke through his invisibility and became visible.

Under the impact of Lin Haiyuan's immense mental power, the researcher's mind and spirit were completely controlled by Lin Haiyuan.

"Yes, Master, what are your orders?"

The controlled researchers paid him a respectful salute, just as he had said.

Where is Edgar F. Carroll?

Lin Haiyuan asked.

"Mr. Carroll is currently in his office, which is on the 50th floor. The office sign reads 'Office of the Head of Display Device Development Department'."

The controlled researcher answered Lin Haiyuan's questions clearly.

"Very good. You won't wonder why you're standing in front of the toilet in a daze anymore, because you're thinking about research."

After giving the controlled researcher a mental suggestion, Lin Haiyuan instructed him to open two doors to facilitate his exit. Then, he manipulated the researcher back to his original position, and Lin Haiyuan released the researcher from his control.

"Chief Lin, have you found out the target's location?"

Gardenia asked in a low voice.

"The office of the head of the display device development department on the 50th floor."

As Lin Haiyuan answered the communicator, he continued walking up the stairs in the same pace as before, with Hua Zhizi following above him.

"By then, we've found Edgar F. Carroll... Chief Lin, I still don't understand what you meant back then. What exactly was it?"

Even now, Hua Zhizi still doesn't understand what Lin Haiyuan said to her when they were still in the Burning Wind Army Camp.

"You have the right and the qualification to know the third major achievement of Project 9991, besides nanotechnology and weaponized plasma and particle technology. You will understand when you see it."

Lin Haiyuan chose to keep it a secret and didn't immediately tell her about the gardenia.

"Yes……"

After hearing Lin Haiyuan's words, Hua Zhizi could only follow him with curiosity towards the office of the head of the display device development department on the 50th floor.

After climbing the stairs for a while, Lin Haiyuan finally saw the sign for the office of the head of the display device development department after turning a corner.

Just as Lin Haiyuan was about to bring Hua Zhizi into the office, an unusually strong feeling suddenly came to his mind.

There's danger in there!

For psychics, intuition is a lifeline in times of crisis, and no psychic would choose to go against their intuition.

"Youhua, immediately retreat to the position we were in when we turned the corner!"

Lin Haiyuan quickly hid behind the corner of the wall, only revealing a tiny bit of his V-shaped eyepiece to observe the office door.

Everything seen through the eyepiece will be projected onto his eyes, so there's no need to worry about not being able to see.

Because Hua Zhizi was caught off guard and not used to stealthy operations, she accidentally bumped the wing of the flight thruster on one side of her foot into the ceiling when she heard Lin Haiyuan's urgent voice.

Boom!

The wings of the flight propulsion system are as sturdy as tank armor, so when it hits the ceiling, it's not the wings that get damaged, but the ceiling.

The impact dented the ceiling, and shattered decorations and debris fell to the floor with a loud thud, immediately attracting the attention of those nearby.
