Abyss Solo

Chapter 76: 046 From False Surrender to Explosive Victory

“`

Battle status?

Wasn’t it just a change of virtual skin?

Kolev was just about to make a sarcastic remark.

The virtual girl in a beret had already started reporting quickly,

“The Military Intelligence Bureau’s internal network is inaccessible, the palace intranet has been breached, the Emperor’s exclusive network has been breached, the military’s standard defense network has been infiltrated, the military ship signal identification system is connected, and Feinan has been marked as the new experimental ship of that country, currently screening their routine interaction information.”

“Talisha, the big-bottomed beauty you’re looking for, boss, is a registered royal maid, holding the title of third-class maid, with no exclusive service targets. It’s now confirmed that she is dead, and we are investigating the military’s reason for killing her.”

“Regarding this maid, they repeatedly mentioned a certain chip, we are currently retrieving relevant information.”

“Don’t slander me,” Yang Ming jokingly scolded, “I already said, it’s not because her butt looked good that I helped her, we were dragged into this, I prefer a more athletic figure.”

“Like Mimili,” Lyu muttered softly.

“Get to work!”

Yang Ming glanced at Kolev somewhat sheepishly, finding the old man busy with his head down, helping to collect information.

A red warning symbol suddenly appeared on the car’s central control projection.

The three-dimensional map turned into a city night view, with seven black bulletproof hover cars driving through a high-speed tunnel at 300 meters, heading straight for the district where Yang Ming and Kolev were located.

Lyu’s voice remained calm and brisk,

“The opponent changed their driving route, they will intercept us in seven minutes.

“It is confirmed, the vehicles belong to the Head Star Guard Corps, the highest-ranking officer among them holds a major rank, but his affiliated unit cannot be traced yet. Information filtered from the social level.

“Attempting to breach the military’s core information network, it will require some time.”

Yang Ming listened to Lyu’s report, watching the traffic ahead.

He thought briefly but did not directly slam down the hover car’s throttle.

The situation was a bit complicated.

“What should we do?” Kolev asked softly, “Negotiate with the military, or deal with these people and find a way to escape?”

“How does the defense here compare to Cole Port?”

“Ten times, I mean the difficulty in us escaping,” Kolev said, “Don’t compare Cole Port’s mercenary-natured Peace Guard with a regular army of a medium-sized country.”

Yang Ming rubbed his brow.

Kolev glanced at the rearview mirror, unable to see the convoy at the moment.

“We need to make a decision quickly,” the old man said worriedly.

“I know, don’t rush, there will definitely be a way,” Yang Ming felt a surge of frustration rise in his heart.

At this point, he kind of wanted to just topple those seven cars.

If he had done something wrong and was targeted, he would admit it, but he hadn’t had time to do anything wrong! It was purely an undeserved misfortune that dragged him in!

Yang Ming suddenly raised an eyebrow and asked softly, “Lyu, search nearby for any ongoing celebrity parties, business meetings, or find the nearest meeting point for the new industrial alliance.”

“Searching, we have found two coordinates that meet the conditions, one is an upcoming banquet, and the other a business seminar.”

“A banquet? Where?”

“Marked, the guest list has been provided,” Lyu couldn’t help but add, “This idea is very good, clever boss.”

The projection of a map displayed a luxurious hotel, and Yang Ming contemplated slightly.

“Uncle, it seems we need to contact the major industrial players of Head Star in advance.”

Kolev laughed, “I’ve been impatient already. But wouldn’t the military dare to arrest people at a capitalist gathering?”

“Not necessarily, can only take a gamble.”

Yang Ming jerked the steering wheel, and the hover car did a tailspin, entering a new lane.

A series of red dots appeared on the navigation map.

The distance between the parties was continuously decreasing.

Yang Ming couldn’t just speed through the city; attracting patrolling mechanical police and drones would be akin to falling directly into the hands of the military.

He had to control the car speed but also reach that grand hotel ahead of those guys intercepting him.

“Boss, there isn’t enough time,” Lyu gently reminded.

Yang Ming said, “Cause a bit of trouble for them as they exit the expressway.”

“Alright, boss, but any extra actions will necessarily leave traces.”

“Can’t care about that now, execute the command.”

Lyu immediately nodded.

Five or six minutes later, at a car converging entrance dozens of kilometers away, several hover cars suddenly lost control and scraped against each other, triggering a piercing alarm.

The seven black lined-up bulletproof hover cars stopped simultaneously.

Several drones quickly sped to the scene, able to clear the accident and unclog the traffic hub in minutes.

These few minutes were enough.

The high-end rented hover car arrived smoothly at a luxurious palace-style building, where Yang Ming dropped Kolev off at the hotel entrance.

A pretty door attendant in a bunny costume hurriedly approached and opened the passenger side door.

“Uncle, go attend the meeting, I’ll wait here,” Yang Ming laughed, “You can handle it yourself, right?”

“Aren’t you coming?” Kolev’s eyes twinkled.

Behind the old man was the brightly lit hotel lobby filled with warm light; behind Yang Ming was the dim hotel front parking lot.

Kolev laughed, “You should learn about business socializing.”

“Let me enjoy a few more years of leisure,” Yang Ming winked.

Kolev did not persist further, masking the worry on his face, he bowed his head and entered the bunny girl’s embrace.

—The other courteously stooped to help.

Yang Ming closed the car door and drove the hover car to the hotel’s front parking lot; even here, the luxury car seemed a bit plain.

Lyu voiced concern, “Boss, could he be kicked out?”

“Since choosing to cooperate with him, you must trust him. It’s just a small matter for him.”

Yang Ming’s smile quickly vanished,

“Lyu, next we’ll talk to them in my way, it’s up to you to determine when to use particle transmission.

“Remember, unless I’m about to be killed, don’t leave my old buddy behind.”

“Boss,” Lyu asked puzzled, “Did you fancy his assets, or his daughter?”

Yang Ming’s lips twitched slightly, “It’s the vilest act to abandon comrades on the battlefield.”

He glanced at the navigation information; the enemy’s convoy was swiftly approaching the hotel.

“Commence silence mode.”

“Yes, commencing silence mode,” Lyu’s voice now lacked emotion.

The car’s projection interface reverted to normal, all data traces had been wiped.

Yang Ming found a parking spot and stayed in the car for two minutes, calmly turning off the engine.

He stretched lazily, pulled out an earth-like e-cigarette from his pocket, opened the car door, and stepped down, standing in the vacant parking spot, admiring this bustling city at dusk.

He slowly exhaled a smoke ring, searching for a touch of melancholy.

Footsteps.

Dense yet subtle footsteps sounded from both sides.

Yang Ming hummed a tune, fiddled with his phone, browsing the recently updated private photos of a few hundred beauty bloggers, suppressing his urge to attack.

The probability of the other party directly resorting to murder was very low; the weapon they held at this moment was only a simple blunt instrument for paralyzing or striking, while the laser guns mounted in the cars were also low-power portable versions.

Suddenly,

A black electric baton appeared behind Yang Ming’s head, viciously smashing down towards his neck.

Yang Ming shut his eyes tight and preemptively ‘fainted’.

Bang!

Yang Ming fell heavily to the ground.

Two strong men in suits picked him up, and an approaching bulletproof hover car from the side quickly sped away.

Yang Ming was thrown onto the backseat of the car.

He controlled his breathing frequency, suppressing the increasing surge of combat thoughts in his heart.

Damn those Ancient Gods’ genes!

They instinctively sought safe environments; if there were no safe environments, then they would create one.

This was terrible.

Not conducive to stealth attacks.

Just like now, Yang Ming easily eavesdropped on the conversation of the opponent’s liaison.

“Captain, we caught the nephew easily, should we go inside and catch that uncle?”

“Don’t act rashly, there are several tough old men inside meeting. Deliver this nephew to the major first, Group Two stay on surveillance, monitor that uncle closely, catch him when he comes out.”

“Yes!”

In his fainted state, Yang Ming calmly shifted his hips, getting more comfortable lying down.

This group of Wind soldiers was indeed amateurish at dirty work.

They hadn’t even checked for weapons.

…

“Sorry, sir, it appears you’re not on the guest list…”

“Do you not recognize this?”

Kolev pointed to the badge on his tailsuit, his eyes suddenly lighting up,

“Oh, my old friend, what brings you here.”

The security guard paused, as the elderly gentleman boldly strided past the security check without any anomalies.

“Sir!” The guard caught up to block Kolev, “You are indeed not on the guest list.”

Kolev squinted and smiled, “Young man, look closely, my name is Haton, from the Cas Federation.”

“This…”

To be safe, the guard again aimed his device at Kolev.

The screen displayed Kolev’s information, along with his half-body image, with the label ‘VIP’ behind it.

“Oh, my gosh, was there a malfunction earlier?” The guard seemed flustered, “Apologies, Mr. Haton, sincere apologies.”

Kolev smiled as he patted the young man’s shoulder.

“Mistakes in work can be forgiven, but you nearly cost a gentleman his dignity.”

The guard continuously bowed, Kolev shook his head with a smile, and turned, unable to help exhale a sigh of relief, his palms soaking with sweat.

Thanks, Little Lyu.

Though she’s not as cute as Molly.

…

Five bulletproof cars entered a secluded indoor parking lot.

Two bulletproof cars blocked the entrance and exit, seven or eight men in suits, wearing tactical sunglasses and wireless earpieces, got off first to patrol and guard various points.

A bulletproof car was opened, revealing Yang Ming lying asleep in the back seat.

The leading major approached the car door with hands behind his back, gestured elegantly.

Two suited men moved forward, pulling Yang Ming out, directly holding him up. Someone brought up a spray, misting Yang Ming’s face twice.

“Cough, cough, cough!”

Yang Ming coughed, opened his eyes, dazed for two seconds, then began ‘struggling’ violently, being held firmly by the two strong men beside him.

“Sir, here is his entry data, from the Cas Federation, we verified it, it’s a relatively obscure small country.”

The major chuckled, “So, there shouldn’t be much diplomatic pressure on us.”

“Yes, sir, but many spies from major countries use similar identities as cover… to be safe…”

Yang Ming’s eyes carried slight panic, but in his heart, he was cursing.

This bunch of bastards was truly bastards.

A good citizen of a small country could be casually killed, but a spy from a great power was to be given leniency?

“To be safe,” the major clapped his hands together, resting in front of him, squinting at Yang Ming, “You’re a good citizen, aren’t you?”

Yang Ming almost nodded.

He knew very well that if he nodded directly, they would definitely ‘kill innocents to gain merit,’ and he would have to retaliate; such action would escalate the situation towards an armed conflict and, ultimately, they would have to flee this planet with Kolev.

It might even expose the special technology of Feinan.

Things were currently too passive; he had to find some initiative.

Yang Ming maintained silence while thinking.

The major’s smile grew more playful, he gestured with his hand, and a man in a suit behind him started to reach into his jacket.

Yang Ming suddenly spoke, “Talisha is dead, isn’t she?”

The major paused, “What did you say?”

“The chip is not with me, my situation is a bit complicated, Major.”

Yang Ming stared intently at the other party,

“If you can’t take responsibility, let your superior talk to me.”

On the major’s sharp face was written a big, bewildered expression.
