I Just Wanted to Be a Galactic Hunter—Why Am I on the Wanted List?-Chapter 235: "Hijack"

A burly and towering figure was charging out of the Perimeter Wall of the Federation Third Prison at a speed invisible to the ordinary eye!

The figure's gale-like velocity kicked up dust from the ground, leaving a high trail of swirling dust in his wake...

Slung over his shoulder was a young man wearing an orange prison uniform.

Judging by the natural, limp swing of the young man's arms, he was most likely unconscious...

"Master! You have to admit, you seem to really enjoy carrying your commission targets while moving..."

After leaving the prison, Raven humorously teased its master.

"Shut up, you stupid bird! Now is not the time to mock your master! Scan the area for any remaining dangerous enemies first! We need to get out of here quickly!"

Loren shouted in his mind and issued a new order.

"I have a feeling the Security Bureau's reinforcements are already on their way..." Raven responded.

"However, don't worry, my dear master. Since your prison break was executed so swiftly, the Security Bureau's reinforcements might only just be setting off now..."

Loren did not respond to Raven's reassurance, simply running at full speed, leaving a conspicuous trail on the ground.

After dashing out of the desert, Loren entered the support living city that accompanied the Federation Third Prison.

Due to the excessively huge commotion Loren caused during the prison break just minutes ago, this support living city had also entered a state of martial law.

The relaxed and leisurely atmosphere that had filled the city's roads when Loren first arrived was gone.

In its place were patrol mechas visible everywhere, a small number of prison guards whose leave had been suspended, and some personnel from the Law Enforcement Department.

Thanks to Loren's clean and efficient methods inside the prison, coupled with a touch of "Fortune's" assistance,

the people in this living city still didn't know exactly what had happened inside the prison...

These people only knew that someone had attempted a prison break...

Upon hearing the massive alarm blaring from the prison, they quickly formed temporary action teams according to previous emergency protocols and rapidly selected a temporary commander.

Under the command of this temporary commander, these newly formed action teams swiftly took up positions at various intersections throughout the living city.

They were prepared to intercept and arrest any suspicious individuals...

When Loren charged into this support living city, he immediately noticed this significant change.

Left with no choice, Loren could only smash through anyone or any mecha blocking his path...

The temporarily assembled action teams responsible for interception and inspection at various intersections, under the impact of that fleeting, blurry figure, saw darkness before their eyes before they even realized what was happening...

These temporary action teams had no idea what kind of individual they were trying to intercept...

They never imagined the person behind this prison break would be so dangerous...

Someone who seemed eager to grind the faces of the Security Bureau, the Federation Courts, and the Law Enforcement Department into the dirt!!

And in the wake of Loren's reckless charge, his path at full speed was littered only with a mist of blood and scattered mecha parts...

The standard patrol mechas in the living city were not as high-end as the combat mechas equipped within the prison. These hastily assembled action teams didn't even manage to cause Loren a bit of trouble...

His movement speed never slowed down from start to finish...

As for those prison guards and Law Enforcement Department personnel Loren didn't crash into, they could only watch helplessly as that fleeting, burly figure receded into the distance, utterly powerless to do anything...

This frustrating situation only changed after someone deduced Loren's destination.

Because Loren had been moving consistently in one direction, making it quite obvious,

someone guessed that Loren's destination was that "off-world starship landing field"!

These action teams began converging on the location of the off-world starship landing field, attempting to intercept Loren before he could board a starship.

According to the emergency protocol regulations, these action teams were to delay Loren at all costs until the reinforcements dispatched by the Federation arrived!

The only regrettable thing was that the movement speed of these action teams simply couldn't match Loren's pace.

Based on the speed of both parties, by the time the prison breaker boarded a starship, they would still be on their way to intercept him...

When the supreme commander of the temporary action teams received this analysis, the expression on his face was exceedingly complex.

The bad news: according to calculations, they simply couldn't intercept that extraordinarily powerful prison breaker...

The good news: having acted strictly according to the "Emergency Protocol" throughout, they wouldn't be held responsible...

This supreme commander, who had been temporarily elected, felt a weight lift off his shoulders upon learning this outcome and issued his final command with relief!

"All personnel responsible for blockading that off-world starship landing field! Now! Immediately destroy all starships within that landing field!!"

Another surprise arrived before his words could be transmitted. The command screen in front of him went completely black!!

All communication equipment in the command room also emitted piercing static!!

At that moment, all communication links between this place and the outside world were severed!

0.5 seconds later!

The command screen in front of him lit up again!

A rust-covered, retro-style robot appeared on the command screen!!

The retro robot on the screen raised its mechanical hand and made a "shushing" gesture!!

"Report, Sir!! Our network command system and communication channels have been hijacked!"

The technical officer in the command room immediately stood up to report!

"Damn it! Aren't we using the Security Bureau's internal network?!?!" the commander roared in anger.

"Sir! I don't know how to explain it! The Security Bureau's internal network has also been hijacked by the other party..."

The technical officer's face showed disbelief! Everything happening before him seemed to touch upon a blind spot in his knowledge!!

The commander slammed his fist heavily on the table in front of him! He asked loudly:

"How long until communications are restored?"

"Report, Sir! I... don't know how to fix this..."

Hearing this, the expression on the commander's face suddenly became calm. He had confirmed one more thing.

Facing an enemy of this level, with technical capabilities like this, even if they ultimately let the other party escape under his command...

They still wouldn't bear any responsibility...

With no response coming from the Federation Third Prison for so long, the defensive forces inside were most likely completely wiped out...

And there was also that Ace Agent placed there by the Security Bureau, a Legendary Tier big shot...

The prison-breaking group also had technical personnel capable of hijacking the Security Bureau's internal network...

Leaning back in his chair, the commander looked at the somewhat nervous technical officer not far away and sighed:

"First, try to see if you can restore communications. Even just going through the motions is fine..."
