1199 Power of The Nuclear Grenade!
“BOOM!”
A face-sized hole formed as the sh.e.l.l penetrated through the cement wall.
Two grenades exploded in a narrow corridor.
The five police power armors that rushed into the stairs were caught off guard by the sudden attack.
The tumbling heatwave smashed the flower pot, sending wood chips, mud, and shrapnel flying, leaving countless scratch marks against the steel armor.
However, a power armor was still a power armor, and it was unrealistic to think grenades could eliminate the well-trained militia. They tumbled behind cover and the five P-type power armors pulled out their tactical rifles and pointed to the opposite side of the corridor.
“This is Team A, we have encountered the target.”
“Approved for firing, take him out,” Ding Liwei ordered viciously.
“Roger!”
“Is this really a good idea?” Wan Peng asked.
“Since we already stepped over the line, do you want to sit down and negotiate with him?” Ding Liwei snorted and looked at the sky. “I hope what is hidden in this city is worthy of our bet.”
Wan Peng smiled without refuting, but he thought in his mind.
You still don’t know, but thanks to my intelligent subordinates, I already stepped over the line yesterday afternoon.
They were gra.s.shoppers on the rope of no return.
Compared with the two behemoths: CCCP Frontier Defense and NAC, the power they possessed were no different than the power possessed by gra.s.shoppers. Since Jiang Chen already appeared here, then the NAC soldiers likely already entered the city and controlled the entire Pingan Street.
Now they must bet all their chips on the treasure of Pan-Asia Cooperation. If the treasure of Pan-Asia Cooperation left to his people was rich enough, they may have a chance of turning back the tide…
After receiving the order to fire, the 20 power armors grouped into four teams and immediately rushed in the direction of the explosion.
At the same time, Team A which was first under attack began to push forward.
However, the attack formation consisting of 20 Hummingbird drones suddenly appeared from the corner and unleashed fierce firepower from their flank.
At first, they were caught off-guard and immediately retreated to cover. However, when they found that the drone’s small-caliber ammunition only made sounds without any damage on their armor, their previously tense state disappeared.
Seeing these bullets could not even break the armor’s defenses, the militia leading had a disdained smile and gestured to his comrades behind him.
“Prepare the EMP.”
“Roger that.”
A soldier pulled an EMP grenade from the nylon buckle on his waist. Another soldier leaning behind cover pulled out the fuse and was about to throw the grenade, but the 20 Hummingbird drones were collapsing directly on them.
Looking at the homing drones converging on them, the soldier in front felt something peculiar, but he could not explain the reason.
Suddenly, he noticed a slight difference in the group of drones.
A drone was not equipped with a muzzle, but an item the size of a can. He could not explain what it was, but the instant he saw it, the fear of death overwhelmed him.
“GET DOWN—”
Roaring with all his strength, the militia soldier immediately dropped to the ground.
However, in front of the nuclear grenade, what could being on the ground do?
The glaring white light suddenly filled the entire s.p.a.ce. The lava-like blast melted the steel, blew away the concrete wall, and ravaged the entire floor. On the multi-story office building, it created a giant hole around three floors in size!
Nothing remained of the five people in the center of the explosion…
“FU*K! Is that idiot crazy?”
Luo Xiaoyong pushed the concrete pieces off of his body, dragged himself up with the help of his rifle and struggled to stand up from the ground.
As the captain of the 20 power armors, when the explosion occurred, he was on the seventieth floor and took his soldiers in the direction of Team A. However, the sudden explosion actually collapsed the floor above him and almost buried the entire team there.
He did praise the quality of the construction of the Pan-Asia Cooperation civil defense project, as even after an explosion that size, the building was perfectly intact.
Luo Xiaoyong felt his scalp tingle as he looked down at the dazzling height outside the broken wall.
“Team B and C report the casualties.”
“Team B is fine.”
“Team C is fine.”
Luo Xiaoyong breathed a sigh of relief after he received the two reports.
It seemed that although the explosion made a loud noise, the damage was lackl.u.s.ter in comparison.
As for Team A, he did not even bother asking. No one would have responded even if he asked…
“Captain, what do we do now?” From the ruins, another soldier shook his dazzled head and asked.
“What the fu*k do you mean?” Luo Xiaoyong pulled the tactical rifle and looked at the collapsed ceiling of the upper floor, then cursed. “Follow me!”
Jiang Chen felt the tremor of the explosion under his feet as he stood at the entrance of the safety tunnel on the eightieth floor, turned off the holographic screen with nothing but white flickers and switched to another screen.
He just used 20 Hummingbird drones and a nuclear grenade to take out five power armors.
“Are there still fifteen left?”
With more power armors appearing in the drone capture screen, he sneered.
Although he was vastly outnumbered, he did not show any sign of fear.
When he left Yao Yao in the office, he also left the Rubik’s cube Lin Lin gave him to the little girl.
With the protection of the small Holy s.h.i.+eld, Yao Yao’s safety was no longer a concern.
Now, without any worries, he could finally unleash his full force.

[Thank you for using Eden Technology]
After obtaining administrator rights, Yao Yao successfully bypa.s.sed the security program and entered the database. When she opened the database file, her bright eyes gradually showed a trace of shock.
“What are these…”
Muttered to herself, Yao Yao trembling finger opened the folder named [No. 005].
A pop-up window appeared in the center of the holographic screen.
[No. 005, National Experimental Project]
[Summary: The Virtual City Plan (discarded) was changed to an artificial intelligence project after consideration by the Strategic Science and Technology Development Committee.
Goal: Incubation of Advanced Artificial Intelligence, AI number X71291
Project Progress: Unknown
Backup data: …]
As soon as she saw the words “Advanced Artificial Intelligence” and “No. 005”, Yao Yao suddenly recalled a memory from a long time ago.
The virtual world that Brother Jiang Chen once entered seemed to be called Fallout Shelter 005…
However, [No. 005] was just the tip of the iceberg in this database. Of the hundreds of files stored here, the largest number was 728.
Among all the experimental projects, some had been completed, some had been in progress, and some had failed. All of the experimental projects had one thing in common, and that was, these projects were national projects authorized by the Pan-Asia Cooperation Strategic Science and Technology Development Committee.
And, because of the particularity of the experimental content, they were all not disclosed to the public…
Her line of sight moved along the directory of the database. When Yao Yao saw the word [#000], her heart began pounding faster.
However, just as she was about to open the folder, the tremor of the explosion that shook the entire building pulled her attention back from these files.
“Ah, let’s not bother with these anymore…”
The thought that Brother Jiang Chen may be in danger made Yao Yao close the database directory after she clicked download.
She gently bit her lips, fingers quickly tapped on the tablet, and her heart pounded wildly. Lines of codes flashed across her bright pupils. Her pretty face, full of concern, reflected off of the holographic screen.
At the moment when Jiang Chen and the Second Militia’s power armors engaged in battle, Yao Yao obtained monitoring authority of the building and prayed silently in her heart.
Please be okay…
