Starting Cultivation in Wasteland-Chapter 652 - 522: Fire Trees and Silver Flowers
Qu Jianlei initially used hot weapons, just to retain enough Inner Breath to perform Techniques.
Killing wasn't his goal; he was out to deal with the artificial intelligence.
The body of the AI in the Customs Enforcement Division isn't in the Hope Star Realm, so no matter how much he sabotages, it wouldn't harm the opponent.
Artificial intelligence isn't life, it's just a stream of data; as long as the core segments are preserved, it can regenerate anytime.
Little Lake was always eager to acquire equipment, isn't that just to make oneself stronger?
So Qu Jianlei's actions are somewhat like venting frustration, with no real meaning.
Doesn't he know that himself? He surely knows, however, what he needs now is a release!
Not to say much, the central control system of the Customs Enforcement Division is certainly more expensive than the Vortex.
It's hard to say hundreds of billions, tens of billions... but at least there must be a dozen billions, right?
Destroy it first and ask questions later!
Come if you dare, I can come too! It can't always be you eyeing my stuff when I can't destroy yours.
An eye for an eye is just that simple, and as for harming others without benefiting oneself? I'm willing to.
Stowing away the Sniper Rifle, he first performed a Finger Technique to summon a Thunder Dragon, precisely striking the transmission center.
Cutting off the AI's connection with the outside world, let's see how long you can stay arrogant!
Immediately, the second Thunder Dragon descended, hitting the wireless transmission center—destroying the limited, and then your wireless!
Actually, the transmission centers have defenses and protective devices, but the main energy source was interrupted, and defense weakened sharply.
As for the protective devices? Qu Jianlei hadn't used Inner Breath all along, just to amplify the Thunder Dragon's power!
As long as the attack potency is strong enough, so-called protection isn't worth mentioning!
With two Thunder Dragons descending, the transmission part of the control system was completely paralyzed.
At this moment, the most alert in the Customs Enforcement Division were the two groups in the Yanoye Hotel.
But they hadn't anticipated that someone dared to raid the Customs Enforcement Division at night.
They were stunned for a whole two seconds, then the leading A-level spoke in amazement, "What's going on... is this an exercise?"
Anyway, he didn't hasten to act; against such Electromagnetic Attribute, at least it was an A-level, without preparation that would mean courting death.
Another A-level from Star No. 4's Customs Enforcement Division, seeing this, was instantly infuriated, "Bold thief, I won't let you off!"
Yet though he yelled, he didn't rush in, the reason was simple, his task tonight was to cooperate well with the distinguished guests from the branch.
Who's foolish? Just days ago here, Fahim was fiercely assaulted by A-level Electromagnetic and Earth Attributes, that scene is still fresh in everyone's memory!
Instead, a B-level expressed concern, "Is this retaliation? I request to fight!"
"Retaliation?" The A-level Warrior sneered, "A mere Vortex, can compare with our central control system?"
Then he looked at the A-level Warrior from the branch, "Sir, shall we go up and take a look together?"
"An incompetent rage," the A-level from the branch scoffed, "Wanting to seize our AI, it can't be done like this!"
"But I'm keen to see, this guy's ignorant appearance, let's go together… what the hell?"
After releasing two Thunder Dragons, Qu Jianlei's third Technique was "Silver Snake Dance".
This was his mastered Electromagnetic Group Attack Technique, which he hadn't used in a long time.
The huge central control system instantly emitted crackling arcs, sparks flying intermittently, and the air carried a burnt aroma.
What Qu Jianlei didn't know was that five kilometers away, people were awakened by the explosive sound, among them was Black Rain's Fangcao.
Yawning, Fangcao got up, cursing the Government of Star No. 4 while opening the curtains.
The next moment, her sleepy eyes widened instantly, "No... no way, has Black Heaven's Silver Snake Dance become so powerful?"
She had truly witnessed Qu Jianlei's Silver Snake Dance on Zarif Star and knew he was currently on Star No. 4.
But at this moment, Silver Snake Dance was at least an order of magnitude stronger than similar Techniques on Zarif Star.
Seeing this scene, the watching Customs Enforcement team was stunned, such level of flashing and thunder was simply heavenly might.
Not to mention B-levels, even A-levels might not withstand it.
Qu Jianlei had long been prepared, if the opponents dared to approach, then it wouldn't be his fault for not being courteous.
I didn't intend to kill, but you insist on coming, not killing would make me seem irresponsible.
Seeing these people halting, a cold smirk appeared on Qu Jianlei's lips, he released his Perception.
Given the chaotic electromagnetic environment, he could freely release Perception, without worrying of being sensed by people or instruments.
Sensing around, he shook his head helplessly, there really wasn't a hospital here!
The Customs Enforcement Division's area isn't small, half a square kilometer in size, but with too few headquarters personnel, totaling no more than five hundred.
So Fahim couldn't be here, it seems he'll have to keep searching.
Just as he was about to leave, Big Head Butterfly suddenly emerged, "Boss, Warehouse No. 93 has good stuff!"
Qu Jianlei couldn't help but pause, "You dare to show yourself?"
"Is that guy even paying attention to me?" Little Lake sneered, "Just scrambling on how to escape now."
"Then you're also... daring and cautious," Qu Jianlei thought of saying it, but finally held back.
Little Lake is indeed timid when it comes to being, but when it comes to taking risks, it's undoubtedly bold,
Last time, when facing public pressure from the Customs Enforcement Division, it was thanks to the video it daringly copied that turned the situation around.
"How do you get to Warehouse No. 93?"
Following Little Lake's guidance, he went to Warehouse No. 93, only to find that it was actually a place requiring dual verification.
But Little Lake straightforwardly said, "Just push the door open, I've already disabled the access control."
Qu Jianlei walked in and was a bit dumbfounded, "This is just an equipment depot."
An equipment depot can't be said to be lacking, since it contains quite a few items belonging to the Customs Enforcement Team, some of which Qu Jianlei really didn't have.
For example, space suits and Space Mecha, which he had always lacked and hadn't had the opportunity to acquire.
These things can only be used in space, with a relatively narrow application, so he wasn't in a hurry.
But narrow application or not, it's still a necessity; should he get stuck in space someday, he would have to rely on these.
However, most people wouldn't carry these, except for the Customs Enforcement Team frequently on missions in space with a lot of these items.
So while he complained verbally, his hand moved quickly, snatching three spacesuits and two Space Mecha.
Space Mecha are usually larger than land Mecha, and Qu Jianlei's Storage Space wasn't very ample, supposedly unable to fit two Mecha.
But both Mecha were foldable, one being an escape Mecha and the other a close-combat agile Mecha.
When folded, each Mecha's space wouldn't exceed that of an off-road vehicle—truly that small.
But being small means weak protection; both Mecha are fragile, just barely withstanding space environments.
Moreover, they both have a common trait, consuming Energy Blocks ravenously, meaning they have short legs and can't run far.
However, to Qu Jianlei, having them is better than not—at least he can operate in space, right?
"Earth District Box No. 9, Box No. 11!" Little Lake shouted, its soft voice strangely compelling as it yelled.
"Two shielded boxes?" Qu Jianlei went to the designated area and found the boxes wrapped in metal foil at the numbered locations.
Since the boxes weren't large, he didn't look closely and just took them, "Anything else worth taking?"
Little Lake replied, "There's a lot of good stuff, but the most valuable has already been taken."
Then it's time to go; in a flash, Qu Jianlei was out of the warehouse gate, raising his hand to cast a Finger Technique, "Silver Snake Dance~"
Another Electromagnetic Group Attack Technique, and in the dazzling arcs of electricity, Qu Jianlei quietly vanished.
It's no wonder that Awakened with Electromagnetic Attribute are troublesome; they not only damage equipment but also intimidate Superpower Warriors.
At this moment, people had already arrived, apart from Customs Enforcement Officers, there were also City Guard and Patrol Guard, both A-level and B-level.
But seeing the arcs of lightning in the sky, almost none of them had any good solutions.
There were insulated suits, but wearing them would decrease combat ability; they could go in to rescue, but fighting would be challenging.
By the time the City Guard's insulated vehicle arrived and rushed in, it was too late.
The culprit was not caught—this was almost inevitable; the key was the enormous losses suffered by the Customs Enforcement Division.
Not only was the control center destroyed, but the energy center was also sabotaged, and many devices were ruined by Electromagnetic Power.
Even excluding the control center, a rough estimate of other losses totaled at least four billion.
Keep in mind, the other day when the electromagnetic shocking flash bomb exploded near Customs, barely any equipment was damaged.
Moreover, four night-duty personnel were severely injured, and one died from serious injuries on the way to the hospital.
Not only were the people at the Customs Enforcement Division on Star No. 4 furious, but even those from the branch office were enraged, "Such a person cannot go unpunished!"
Who did it? That doesn't really need to be asked; even if it's not Panda, it's definitely related to him.
An A-level with Electromagnetic Attribute had long been on everyone's radar.
The modified warrior who was knocked unconscious was soon discovered, and some expressed suspicion about his sudden need at that time.
But this kind of thing can't really be explained; who doesn't have a pressing need sometimes?
Moreover, this warrior is from a family within the Customs Enforcement Division, with several family members working there, politically relatively reliable.
In the end, it just ended inconclusively.
Some even suggested, "The Transformation Technique was used so well, it was already surprising, could it also have been a mental suggestion?"
If someone were to dig deep, they would discover a person called Charles at the spaceport, who might have also been impersonated.
This is also why Qu Jianlei didn't make the transformation particularly realistic.
However, there's no "what if" in this world, so such a crucial clue was overlooked.
Speaking of the spaceport, the Customs Enforcement Division contacted Bida the next day.
Panda is too dangerous and has a grudge against you guys; let's join forces to deal with him.
They weren't unaware of the heavy suspicion surrounding Desis's family's death, but for now, they couldn't afford to be particular.
Yet Bida's reply was: We'll need to discuss this matter.
