Girls und War

A strategic point exactly the same as the one on the 30th floor.

Xia Shu looked up again and saw that there was indeed a similar fireproof partition on the 90th floor.

Although this map looks complex, it has a very regular area design.

The 60th to 90th floors above are a luxury hotel.

Inside are business suites with stunning views.

This building is obviously a large financial empire!

147. About "Mr. Sun"

Such a financial empire may well have the same status in the post-industrial world as a country's Wall Street, a global financial center.

And what is the identity of "Mr. Sun" who owns this financial building?

Everything is still unclear, but as long as they reach the top of the building, everything will become clear.

Xia Shu carefully observed the critical 60th to 90th floors of the 100-story building.

Although the designs of those business suites are complex, the aisles inside are very clear.

There are four aisles coming out of the elevator, and at the end of the aisles, they converge in front of two safety passage doors.

It should be noted that the top ten floors of the building's hotel are all presidential suites with only one room each.

In front of the safety passages on both sides, there is a long walkway connecting them.

The lobby of the luxury hotel, on the 61st floor, which should have been the most spacious, was completely blocked off.

The map shows that the area is now off-limits.

As for the top of the hundred-story building, the last ninety to one hundred floors are the building's sightseeing and amusement areas.

Luxury restaurants, night scenes, children's playgrounds, and other entertainment areas.

The goal of the two teams is the Chamber of Commerce President's room on the 100th floor, at the top of the building.

It is also Mr. Sun's office.

The battle time limit is one hour, and the goal is to get a pink letter.

This will be a very thrilling task.

All the original combat equipment has been lightweighted, which means that a lot of weight has been reduced while maintaining the original protective capabilities.

After all, this battle map is a towering building with one hundred floors.

In addition to their original combat equipment, they also have an additional piece of technological equipment.

Heart sound radar.

This thing can completely detect all heartbeat reactions within a few dozen meters. It is somewhat like a radar scan, doing work every few seconds.

With this thing, you can easily find the enemy's position.

Xia Shu didn't know why this thing existed.

Because of this, wouldn't both sides lose all stealth capabilities?

But regardless of the specifics, the competition is about to begin.

There is no need to arrange the combat options in detail. The grouping has already been determined. Xia Shu can think about the specific tactics slowly along the way.

Soon, both sides pressed the ready button.

Both teams appeared in the underground parking lot of the building, with the emergency exit sign in front of them.

Neither of them chose to look for each other in the garage, but instead decided to head directly to the roof.

"Head upstairs! Quick! Hurry!" Xia Shu shouted the order and led the girls in the class to run quickly towards the stairwell.

The zigzag stairwell seems to have no end in sight.

The building is several hundred meters high, and now they have to climb all the way to the top.

The teams on both sides began to climb the stairs quickly, and the audience outside also heard a voice.

It was a deep baritone voice.

“What exactly is success? It is a difficult question for everyone to answer.

“Perhaps if a person achieves certain values ​​and reaches his or her desired goals throughout his or her life, this is called success.

"Then can my life be called a success?"

Accompanying the monologue are open electronic screens in every corner of the building.

The same picture was playing on all the screens.

The picture shows an aerial shot of the building from above, against the backdrop of the entire city.

As both teams were climbing the stairs, they saw this scene on the radio and television next to the stairwell.

But they don't have time for this.

Time is very tight and they need to reach the roof quickly.

Only Xia Shu and a few new recruits with relatively good physical fitness had the leisure to observe the changes on the screen.

As the aerial view of the building appears on the screen, the man's monologue tells the story.

“It was the day when the Sky Building was completed, and all the TV stations around the world were broadcasting it to celebrate for me.

"They said I was a supernova in the financial world, and everyone called me Mr Sun.

"How high-spirited I was then? I had only one thing in mind—

“This is my empire, my everything.

"The world is at my feet."

The girls' speed in climbing the stairs gradually slowed down, and Xia Shu asked them to take care of each other and not climb too fast.

As she climbed, she used the heart sound radar to detect the position of the opposite side.

The opponent's speed was slightly faster than all the people on their side, but not too fast.

Only one person was far ahead, and Xia Shu guessed it was the Terminator.

She was not worried and let the other party go first.

Anyway, I still have the detector.

The young girls in the audience outside were not bored while waiting for them to climb the stairs.

Because the video describing the background of the battlefield seems to be telling a fascinating story.

The aerial video on TV suddenly changed.

What appeared in front of everyone was a photo of a family of three.

But the faces in the photo are not human faces.

Instead, it is similar to a human body model, representing a certain pseudo-structure of human beings.

Just like a dummy in the training ground.

The man in the off-screen voice-over continued to narrate the story.

"My parents weren't from a good family. They were just wealthy locals in the countryside.

“They gave birth to me when they were middle-aged, so I received many times more love than my peers.

“So when I came of age, I gained control of the family wealth.

"But I'm not like other playboys, wasting money on wine and women.

“Instead, I studied finance, law, literature.

“I long to realize my value and self-realization.

"So when the gold rush started, I joined the gold rush without hesitation."

As the man spoke, the TV screen kept changing.

Some are pictures of the boy running in the fields, some are pictures of him studying at university, and some are pictures of him sitting in front of the fireplace and discussing with his parents.

The screen constantly switches, showing his growth trajectory. Combined with his rich baritone voice, he paints a picture of a positive and ambitious young man from a wealthy family in everyone's mind.

Finally, the picture freezes on the scene of the crowd heading towards the ship, with the young man looking into the distance in the background.

At this time, Xia Shu had left the other girls a considerable distance away. Climbing dozens of floors in one breath would be unbearable for anyone.

The opposing team wasn't much faster either. Seeing that the Terminator had left the others far behind, they were almost at the 30th floor.

The one walking last in the Eagle Zone is the Queen Bee.

She was sweating profusely as she grabbed the handrail of the stairs, looking up at the endless corridor with a look of despair.

She couldn't run any further, so she could only walk up little by little.

Xia Shu was not in a hurry either.

Seeing that time was not too tight and the girl behind her could not catch up, she pushed open the door of the emergency exit and went inside the mall to observe for a while.

148. About "Princess"

The scene inside the mall was unexpectedly messy.

I thought it was a luxurious shopping mall selling luxury goods, but I saw garbage and paper scattered everywhere.

Not only were there no customers, there weren't even many goods left.

But Xia Shu still saw the dummies standing everywhere, acting as waiters and security guards.

What surprised Xia Shu was that the heart sound radar could actually scan heartbeat marks on them.

Aren’t these things simply symbols of humanity?

Xia Shu didn't have much time to do background research. She quickly returned to the stairwell and continued to climb up the emergency stairs.

The background video on the TV screen also continued to play.

The picture in the background shows a young man in simple clothes, carrying a large suitcase, coming to a busy old-fashioned bank.

Judging from the details in the picture, this is not the location of a gold mine.

Perhaps this so-called "gold rush" refers to the rise of emerging financial industries.

The young man may have traveled across the ocean to an emerging country, preparing to use the family funds in his hands to invest in a wave of financial industries.

The scene changed as expected, and the young man placed the wooden box on the wooden cabinet of the bank, and opened the box under the disdainful eyes of the staff.

The glittering gold bars inside stunned everyone in the bank.

As the scene progresses, the voice-over continues:

"When I arrived in this city, I was faced with a completely unfamiliar environment and language. They seemed to have no interest in a nobody like me.

"But when I showed them the wealth I had, their attitude changed completely. They were willing to meet all my requests and follow my every command.

“Maybe those stupid guys would fall into this popularity trap, but I know that the treatment I received was because I was rich enough.

“I will not be tempted by anything, nor deceived by anything.

"Because I have only one purpose—

"In this world, prove the value of my existence."

The scene then showed a young man waving bills and speculating on stocks in a financial center.

Many people were dancing with joy, as if they had made a fortune; many people were slumped on the ground with depressed expressions, as if they had lost everything.

Although the young man's actions were full of enthusiasm, no one could see his expression.

Because the mannequin has no face.

At this time, Terminator and Xia Shu had already reached the 30th floor.
