Chapter 895: Roadblock
Su Xiao bowed his head slightly and entered the lab through the hole in the wall.
— Finally found the first scientists, were they building a maze?
Blood dripped from the Dragon Flash blade. Previously, he had met the band "Hound Dog", but since they were all brainwashed, it was simply impossible to get the necessary information out of them.
As soon as Su Xiao was in the lab, the Hound Dog member who was in the next room raised his rifle and pointed it at Su Xiao.
One of the counterattack shields near Su Xiao immediately charged towards him, and after splitting into ten identical pieces that looked like sharp blades, it stabbed into his body without mercy.
*Poof-poof...*
The Hound Dog member was turned into a sieve in just a second.
A similar trick Su Xiao developed quite recently. It was of little use against strong enemies, but it was very effective against ordinary pawns.
— You, who are you? The scientist asked, sitting on the floor. Because of his fear, he was only able to press himself closer to the wall.
Su Xiao took a simple step and immediately disappeared from his sight, and when he reappeared, he was right in front of him.
— Map... Su Xiao said and suddenly fell silent. He suddenly realized that he no longer needed a map of this underground bunker. He had gone far enough to understand its structure in general terms. Right now, all he needed to do was find out where Kihara Gensei was.
— Where is Kihara Gensei? As soon as Su Xiao asked this question, the scientist immediately raised his hands and said very quickly — " Kihara Gensei must have taken refuge in the central control room. It is protected by a Layer 4 protocol. I know the complex very well, so I can take you there.
This relatively young scientist really wanted to live. Not only did he reveal the necessary information, but he even offered his own help in finding Kihar Gensei. If he was asked about this scholar's secret hobbies, this guy would most likely immediately spill them out if he had such information.
Most of the enemies Su Xiao faced were hardheads. Such sluggish eggplants could be found very rarely.
— Take me to him and I will spare your life.".
— Okay, sir, please don't worry, I want to cooperate, " he said and forced a smile.
He was still young and had a bright future. He certainly wasn't going to die for Kihara Gensei.
Sluggish eggplant stood up, shivering as he removed the ID card from his supervisor's body, then headed for the lab door. As for his ID card, he just threw it away. This thing was equivalent to an access card. The higher the status of the holder of this card, the more doors were opened for the holder of this card.
When Su Xiao was passing by the glass flask in the lab, he suddenly stopped.
He saw a clone of Mikoto Misaki.
Sluggish eggplant noticed this and immediately said — " This is a clone of a level 5 esper with superpowers, Mikoto Misaki, and he is the key to implementing the ultimate power evolution plan. A total of 20,000 clones were created. According to this plan, once Accelerator kills 128 real Mikoto Misaka on a single battlefield, he will be able to evolve to a Level 6 esper, but since it was impossible to create 128 "real" Mikoto Misaka, it was decided to replace them with 20,000 clones. If you want to know more about the absolute power evolution plan, I can explain it in more detail.
Sluggish eggplant obviously knew that he had already become a traitor, so he dumped all the information on Su Xiao before he could ask for it.
— If you don't want to die, lead the way.
— Here.
With the guide, Su Xiao's progress was greatly accelerated. Most of the traps and defense mechanisms were deactivated by the scientists, and in the end, they quickly reached the third floor of the research complex, where the central control room was located.
With a couple of swings of his sword, Su Xiao chopped the half-meter thick metal door into pieces.
The massive doors were nothing more than paper in his path.
When the doors fell down, he saw a spacious metal room.
*Click-click...*
There were robots more than five meters tall in the room.
According to the most conservative estimates, there were more than sixty of them.
Seeing them, sluggish eggplant was shocked.
He suddenly wondered if he should have been part of Kihara Gensei's forces again.
----
In the central control room, a group of scientists were looking at a large screen that displayed Su Xiao.
— It's not a problem. DX-794M combat robots cannot be defeated by humans. Even if he's a level-five esper with a superpower in the form of physical enhancement, these robots will tear him apart, " the scientist said with a cup of coffee in his hands and took a sip.
He was the creator of these robots.
— Randy, these battlemechs are pretty good, " an elderly man with a wrinkled face said.
It was Kihara Gensei.
— Of course, while this incident resulted in a lot of casualties, it also proved that battlemechs are the future of humanity, not espers. The development of superpowers is too slow, while robots can be improved and produced in large quantities.
— How shortsighted, " Kihara Gensei said and grinned, not caring about the scholar at all.
— I've already prepared a defense plan for such a case for a long time, but it shouldn't be used now, it's not ready yet, " Kihara Gensei said as he glanced at the silver suitcase in his hand. He was hesitant to part with this item, and because of it, his relationship with Alistair quickly deteriorated.
— He, he, he... The scientist pointed a trembling finger at the big screen.
— Why are you panicking...
The coffee cup clattered to the floor.
All that was visible on the screen were the robots that had been hacked to pieces. A figure stood beside the pile of scrap metal.
When she raised her head, her sharp gaze caused all the scholars to take a few steps back.
The next moment there was a crash and the big screen started showing white noise.
The camera was destroyed.
*Boom-boom!*
On the third floor of the bunker, muffled sounds could be heard, as if someone was trying to destroy it from the inside.
*BOOM!*
The sounds were getting closer and faster to the central control room, causing Kihara Gensei's expression to turn ugly.
— Right now, we can only use it. Although he's not very obedient, he's very capable, " Kihara Gensei said to the scholar sitting next to him, but the latter was obviously displeased.
— Should we really release this animal? He...
— And quickly, or you want to die?
— I understood.
The scientist immediately got up, opened the door, and ran away.
*Ding-ding-ding*
A few machine guns managed to shoot at Su Xiao, but his long sword immediately silenced them.
Right now, Su Xiao was puzzled. Although he occasionally encountered defensive devices along the way, they weren't very good. They would be able to stop a level 4 esper for a while at best, but not kill him.
The difficulty of his mission was at level 23. A lab with such protection didn't have the difficulty of level 23. Maybe the main difficulty was related to finding the key to the location of the dead spirit grimoire?
This was quite logical, because Su Xiao had to run around and fight a very strong girl, Kaori Kanzaki, to do it.
But it didn't matter now. The central control room was very close by. Once he found Kihara Gensei there, his mission would essentially be accomplished.
Another high-strength door couldn't stop Su Xiao.
— Hey, you're the reason for the new experiment? You don't look well, " the white-haired guy said, putting his hands in his pockets.
He stepped out of the corridor that led directly to the central control room.
The white-haired guy's pupils were red, his body was thin, and he looked like he was very often malnourished, but he looked at Su Xiao with a smile.
— Now I understand. If that's all, then the difficulty is quite justified, " Su Xiao muttered, and after taking a small step, an aura immediately erupted from his body and spread around.
*Crackle*
Cracks appeared on the metal walls.
Seeing this, the white-haired guy kicked the floor, and a web of cracks immediately appeared on it.
