Chapter 487: Chapter 262: Light and Dark Guards
(Congratulations to the new helmsman “jhffu”!)
Boom!
Mu Fan, like a cannonball, slammed heavily into the invader in midair.
This time, Mu Fan’s Cross Arm smashed down like a heavy Siege Hammer pounding upon a gate whose endurance had already been pushed to its limit.
The result was that the invader in midair was sent flying like that shattered door…
Blown away!
The invader, clearly unwilling to be flung away like that, desperately tried to control his falling body, adjusting his direction to avoid the terrifying Induction Steel Furnace.
But with a nimble twist of his body, Mu Fan’s foot landed on the invader’s chest, sending out a blur of vibrations.
Charging Step back kick!
That finally became the last straw that broke the camel’s back.
Mu Fan transformed into a blur, shooting toward the ground, while the invader finally let out a roar in midair:
“No!”
Splash!
The sound of an object plunging into water rang out as huge ripples surfaced within the hot, still molten steel.
The splendid and dazzling red-hot iron splattered in all directions in midair.
The figure of the invader disappeared the moment it entered the iron, leaving behind only a few burbling bubbles and a wisp of thin smoke.
Mu Fan on the ground couldn’t see that scene, but as soon as he heard the sound of the other party being kicked into the melted steel, the feeling of crisis in his heart completely vanished.
A great sense of exhaustion washed over him, and Mu Fan, without any semblance of grace, fell backward onto the ground, gazing up at the dense steel frames above the workshop and burst into laughter with his eyes closed.
But an undeniable weakness tinged his laughter.
“Black, did you see that? I vanquished this guy.” Mu Fan’s voice was joyful and proud beneath the mask.
“Mu Fan, you truly are a battle genius!” This time Black spoke with genuine sincerity.
“Hahaha, I think so too.” Even though Mu Fan’s wounds all over his body were barely bearable to look at, he reveled in the intense pain washing over him while laughing carefreely.
“The flexible weighted clothing is finished. Prepare to evacuate. There are probably significant changes inside the factory now… Huh? The electromagnetic shield is gone.” Black was in the middle of speaking when it suddenly noticed the strong electromagnetic shield inside the factory disappearing, and the surveillance footage reappeared in its view.
Then it saw the bodies on the ground, their condition gruesomely tragic.
“…Mu Fan, evacuate quickly. The situation is very grim. Right now, there are no signs of life in the factory besides you.”
Mu Fan, just as he struggled to get up, looked stunned, “You mean they… all died!?”
“Yes, all dead, extremely grisly deaths. Currently, there is not a single intact corpse. The assessment is that these were likely caused by the invader’s claw blades just now.”
Thinking of the sharp and terrifying claw blades in the invader’s hands just moments before, Mu Fan still felt a shudder of fear.
His left hand was nearly numb now, with wounds bursting open repeatedly. If not for his extraordinary physique, he would have long since gone into shock from too much blood loss.
“What on earth is this sudden invader, and why did he also set his sights on this factory?”
“Cannot retrieve specific data. Just now, I accessed the surveillance within a five-kilometer radius and identified a Black Feather Hover Car as a suspicious target. However, the hover car was disguised and did not enter the surveillance area afterward, resulting in a lost track. His target seems to be the materials laboratory, probably for some important data inside,” Black had accessed some useful information, but for now, it was practically worthless.
“Then try looking up the four characters that correspond to ‘fengyaozhiyi’.”
“Retrieved related information: 2.09 million entries.”
With so much related information, there seemed little hope of deciphering its meaning now.
If it indeed were a password, it wouldn’t appear on the internet.
“Take your time with this, no rush. I’ll treat my wounds first and then leave. Keep an eye on the nearby status.”
Mu Fan walked into the laboratory, pulled out his backpack from under a research cabinet, and sat down beside it. Reaching into the bag, he fumbled and extracted a refined metal test tube.
“Really lucky,” Mu Fan sighed, realizing he truly had foresight and hoped the medicine would indeed be effective.
Mu Fan opened his shirt, broke the metal test tube, and carefully tried to pour the liquid inside onto the wound on his back, where the damage was most severe.
The transparent and clear medicine dripped from the test tube, possessing a strong cohesion and a strange viscosity. Drops of the liquid playfully trickled from the mouth of the tube, landing on Mu Fan’s wound.
Like water drops on boiling oil, the moment the medicine touched the skin it reacted violently, spreading into a thick white fog, and then a bone-piercing pain surged from the wound.
“Ah!”
A beast-like growl emerged from Mu Fan’s throat.
…
When the infiltrator’s body sank into the high-temperature molten steel of the steel smelting furnace, a bright spot signifying his life extinguished within a Floating Car parked not far from the Chade Metal Refinery.
The man holding the tablet leaned back, sinking into the soft, sofa-like seat, as he looked at the extinguished green dot on his palm-sized display.
Rubbing his forehead with his right hand, he spoke faintly, “Call back the Magnetic Umbrella Birds.”
“Yes, young master.”
“This is troublesome… All the Light and Dark Guards are dead. It’s time to consider how to explain this to the higher-ups, and it’s going to cost a lot.” The man murmured to himself, “Gaoling Ze… are you really playing the pig to catch the tiger?”
“Let’s withdraw.”
“Yes, young master.”
The driver in the front row responded, pressing a button on the dashboard.
The black Floating Car underwent a drastic transformation, in an instant resembling a common small floating freight vehicle. As the four drones named “Magnetic Umbrella Birds” returned, the “freight vehicle” drove off into the wasteland and disappeared into the darkness.
…
Mu Fan was drenched in sweat from the pain, his teeth grinding in agony, but finally he used up the entire tube of Bai’s Special Medicine.
The pain caused by this special medicine was beyond his imagination. The sensation of rotten flesh melting followed by new flesh slowly growing back was an experience nobody would want to try.
The healing effect was far superior to ordinary medicines, and its emergency wound treatment capability even surpassed the Cell Repair Liquid in Biological Cabins.
As a tingling itch spread from the wound, Mu Fan finally felt some relief. Glancing at the injury on his shoulder, he noticed it had miraculously formed a thick scab.
Beneath that scab, muscles were rapidly healing.
With this, recovery should take about three days, significantly shortening the healing period.
Miraculous medicine!
That shy girl Bai Guyue had really given him a great gift.
Attempting to move his arm, there were no issues.
“Black, hand me the flexible training suit,” Mu Fan looked at the Acabert Alloy Armor suited for an Extreme Special Soldier in the window display and continued, “Destroy all the materials in the lab, including the Extreme Special Soldier Armor, with the robots, and erase all data records related to these metals.”
“Heat the Induction Steel Furnace, aiming for a temperature of 3,200°C in preparation, ready the materials to be added, set it to forcibly tilt and open in one hour.”
After Black repeated the command, all the display cabinets in the laboratory opened, and more than twenty transport robots entered one by one, taking away all the rare materials. Meanwhile, the high-temperature floating Induction Steel Furnaces in the workshop began to hum with the sound of activation and started up at full speed.
A small robot made its way over, its mechanical legs squeaking as it seemed to be carrying something heavy.
Black’s voice sounded, “Just for refining this thing, I’ve had to switch over two-thirds of the workshop’s energy supply. Mu Fan, your equipment has arrived.”
“But now there’s a problem, you’ll have to wear it on your way back.”
