Starting Cultivation in Wasteland-Chapter 442 - 314: Strange Attacks

Facing the deputy commander’s question, the Octopus Vine felt a bit embarrassed, "It might not necessarily be intentional to shake him off; his body technique... is quite strong."

This surprised him too, given his own special encounter with body technique and strong perception ability; how could he lose track of someone?

"Much stronger than you?" White Clothes was taken aback and directly increased his output.

The B-level Gold Attribute continued to release golden spears, and the next moment, with a soft sound of "swish," the golden spear pierced through the building.

Everyone cheered in unison, "Broken; finally, it’s broken."

However, although the defense was broken, the power supply equipment did not stop. These devices were quite sturdy; evidently, the golden spear did not hit a vital point.

But immediately, countless stones fell from the sky, as the Earth Attribute warrior unleashed his power.

The Gold Attribute Warrior continued to throw golden spears, and the next moment, a muffled sound finally echoed, and the equipment shut down.

Meanwhile, the Octopus Vine had already started attacking the enemy mechas, still using "Investigate to the Bottom."

White Clothes freed up his hands and aimed water arrows at the Star Thieves.

He was performing a finger technique, but his eyes looked a bit dazed, clearly pondering something.

If you got close enough, you could hear him muttering softly, "An electromagnetic exclusive body technique?"

As the fourth power hub was destroyed, Qu Jianlei and Pan Yifu finally determined where to attack.

Although Old Pan had strong opinions, he had never scouted the core area before, unlike Qu Jianlei, who had more say in this.

Qu Jianlei suggested attacking the Landscaping Department, yes, the one where he had been sent under false pretenses to scout around.

Pan Yifu had heard of the Landscaping Department too and knew it wasn’t just a tree planting department.

But he still didn’t get it, "Isn’t it just an anti-espionage agency? I suppose they’ve already deployed their combat power, why attack there?"

Old Pan was practical; he didn’t want to gnaw on hard bones, but he also didn’t want to go where there was no meat; he just wanted to trample on weaklings.

Qu Jianlei looked at him speechlessly, "Yeah, an anti-espionage agency, what do you think is in there?"

"What’s in there?" Old Pan was taken aback, then suddenly realized, "Intelligence and archives!"

"Exactly," Qu Jianlei nodded with a smile, "If the Intelligence Department wasn’t too difficult to attack, I’d rather hit the Intelligence Department."

"Good idea," Pan Yifu nodded decisively, not arguing further.

This kind of target suited his taste; not too risky, but possibly yielding unexpected gains.

As for whether intelligence was important? Pan Yifu felt that he had more say than Black Heaven.

On this planet, he wasn’t very interested in ammunition, because he could fight himself; hoarding more food was more sensible.

The intelligence might not mean much to Zarif for now, but once he left here, it might offer him greater aid.

Pan Yifu had interacted with some intelligence personnel, and knew that this field was built on massive piles of information.

Trying might yield no results; not trying certainly wouldn’t.

So even if he ended up with nothing, he wouldn’t mind giving it a try; that was the right attitude towards intelligence work.

If they managed to gather some information on the Star Thieves, returning to the Imperial state, it would be advantageous, whether for self-use or as a favor.

The two quickly aligned on their target, and next was infiltration.

The Landscaping Department operated independently, with a vast courtyard, where three three-story small buildings and several rows of dormitory cottages stood.

But most of the area was lush greenery, initially living up to the "Landscaping" name.

Yet, this seemingly tranquil courtyard was actually heavily defended, with various monitoring systems, alarms, and plenty of traps inside.

There were many Ultimate Warriors here, so light and heavy weapons weren’t plentiful, but compared to other similar departments, there were differences.

There were at least over a hundred different mechas, eight machine cannons were set up, and there were even more machine guns.

This was because the Landscaping Department was close to a bustling area, setting up too many machine cannons could cause collateral damage.

In the Landscaping Department’s warehouse, there should still be dozens of machine cannons, but they would only unleash this firepower when facing absolute disaster.

Now there was some good news: the power hub in this district was destroyed, causing a blackout.

The Landscaping Department had its own generator, currently operating normally; amid the dark street, this place was brightly lit, very conspicuous.

When Qu Jianlei first came here, he had already scouted the area, and coming closer, he directly unleashed a "Silver Snake Dance."

The Landscaping Department’s protective shield was far less strong than the power hub’s, for a simple reason: this was not supposed to be a focal point in warfare.

If it were a small skirmish, who would have the guts to cause trouble at the Landscaping Department?

The attack intensity of Silver Snake Dance couldn’t match Thunder Strike Skill, but Qu Jianlei believed choosing the latter meant a precise attack.

He didn’t want others to guess that he was planning to attack here, so he used group attack techniques.

——In the pitch-black street, only this place had lights, which clearly attracted hostility; getting hit by a technique seemed normal, right?

Currently, energy fluctuations were everywhere, and the Silver Snake Dance wouldn’t reveal his position.

The Landscaping Department’s generator was in the basement, theoretically well-protected, but the group attack techniques were less powerful.

However, Qu Jianlei didn’t intend to target the generator; directly short-circuiting the cable would suffice, wouldn’t it?

A dazzling arc of electricity cut through the night sky, heading straight for the Landscaping Department, at lightning speed.

The guards at the Landscaping Department hadn’t even figured out what happened before they plunged into darkness.

Then someone finally shouted belatedly, "Is Black Heaven crazy? Does he think he has too much superpower stored up?"

They guessed the attacker correctly, but indeed did not expect that the Garden Department would also become a key target.

The people in the Garden Department only thought that having a generator for power would suffice, but ended up being targeted.

"Purely brain-dead, without the generator we still have batteries, come on... hit us again."

That’s what was said, but battery power cannot be as comprehensive as a generator, and the light quickly dimmed considerably.

The battery could still supply more power, but some defensive equipment and attack weapons also need electricity, can’t waste it.

Then someone shouted, "Spotlight, quickly connect the spotlight!"

The Garden Department had several spotlights, but the backup power had been taken out, and the spotlights weren’t connected to the batteries.

As they were switching the connections, Qu Jianlei and Pan Yifu had already quietly entered the Garden Department.

The two had already agreed, to try not to use techniques at first, just deal with it using cold weapons.

Qu Jianlei was quite skilled, but Pan Yifu was in the military for so long, his skills were exceptionally high.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be accustomed to using cold weapons to deal with Star Thieves.

The two sneaked in silently, encountering Star Thieves and taking them down directly.

Old Pan initially used a knife, but upon seeing Black Heaven directly twisting necks, he thought this method was nice—at least it didn’t feel bloody.

However, his movements were still half a beat slower than the opponent, it’s not just a problem of body technique.

At least twice, he didn’t detect hidden Star Thieves, until Qu Jianlei pointed it out, and they each took responsibility for one.

He couldn’t help but murmur under his breath, "How is your perception ability stronger than my A-level?"

"Shh," Qu Jianlei raised a finger, "We’ll talk outside."

Old Pan saw this and could only sulkily shut his mouth.

Last time Qu Jianlei came to investigate, he didn’t dare to use spiritual attributes, now it doesn’t matter, strong perception doesn’t scare him.

After dealing with four waves of Star Thieves, he sensed a place storing a large number of books.

It was on the first floor of the building in the middle of three, so he gestured to Old Pan to follow.

This building still had a gatekeeper, but it was easily dealt with, inside there were no guards.

The book storage place was a very large room, outside it had a sensor door lock—possibly connected to an alarm system.

Pan Yifu seeing this, flashed towards the door entrance, "I’ll keep watch, you hurry up."

Qu Jianlei used a Thunder Dragon to open the lock, and sure enough, the room’s alarm immediately sounded.

He didn’t mind, he found all sorts of documents inside, and swept them away without hesitation.

The documents filled the space of the storage talisman, and even occupied a small part of the storage ring. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

When he opened the door, Pan Yifu had already launched a fire rain.

This was because some Star Thieves had already found their deceased companions, and began searching even before the alarm sounded.

Seeing the fire rain filling the sky, the Star Thieves were shocked, "Is this... is this Pan Yifu?"

There was more than one Fire Attribute Warrior visiting today, even B-level could release fire rain, which made it hard to tell.

The Star Thieves quickly counterattacked, still swearing, "Are you mad? Actually coming to the Garden Department!"

Honestly, even they themselves hadn’t realized what attack value the Garden Department had.

However, the next moment, finally someone identified the source of the alarm, shouting loudly, "The archive room is under attack!"

Hearing this shout, the faces of many Star Thieves instantly changed—damn it, this is truly a deadly situation.

Outsiders may not know, but can the people of the Garden Department be unclear about what’s in the archive room?

"Use the machine cannon!" An accountable leader shouted, then flicked his hand, "Golden Spear~"

Whether the opponent is Pan Yifu or not, anyway, the B-level Golden Spear is enough to hurt him.

Pan Yifu had dodged when releasing the fire rain, without guarding at the door.

However, he really is fragile, couldn’t help but murmur in his heart: Black Heaven, this brat, isn’t coming out yet?

The next moment, an electric arc flashed on the rooftop, and a spotlight went out directly.

"It’s Black Heaven," someone shouted loudly, "Be careful, it’s the combination of Pan Yifu and Black Heaven, concentrate fire!"

Some really aren’t afraid to die? Qu Jianlei coldly sneered, he didn’t take the door, instead broke through the alloy net of the window and jumped out.

He continued to raise his hand to perform a finger technique, "Silver Snake Dance~"

At this time, several mecha had rushed out of the underground parking, striking squarely onto the electric arcs covering the sky, instantly freezing in place.

Qu Jianlei shouted loudly, "Old Pan pack the handset, I’m going big!"

Pan Yifu understood immediately, it’s starting the electromagnetic storm again, directly packing the handset into a sealed metal box.

Sure enough, the next moment, the chaotic electromagnetic field reappeared, this move is more effective against electronic control systems than anything else.
