Dawn was a time when humans tended to slack off, no matter where they were.
The sleepers had yet to awaken, and the all-nighters were at their most exhausted.
As the night deepened, the Red Widows had no idea that an invisible shadow was looming over them.
Suddenly, Lan Jue's eyes flew open. He glanced at the time, then pushed open the door and got out.
He stretched a little, a small smile on his face. He'd been looking forward to this mission.
Defeating the Red Widows wouldn't be difficult. Star Division was strong enough to do it.
Star Division's goal, however, was zero casualties.
It would not be easy to achieve zero casualties.
They exited the parking garage and found themselves in the control center.
According to the information Lan Jue had received from the pirate.
In the control center of the planet's defense system, there were 20 mechas patrolling at all times. At the same time, there were another 80 on standby.
In other words, if there was an attack, a hundred mechas would be on standby.
Aside from that, there were plenty of surveillance and scanning systems, with no blind spots.
Lan Jue slipped into the control center. None of the surveillance systems were of any use to him, so he pressed the button for the elevator.
Using his Lightning Discipline, he remained hidden within the metal walls. He couldn't sneak in, but at least he wouldn't be discovered.
The elevator arrived, and the beam of light descended.
Lan Jue peeked out from a corner of the wall, and pulled out the communicator he'd taken from the pirate.
It was off the mark, but it had no blind spots.
The light dimmed, and he could pass.
There was a flicker of electricity, and Lan Jue was inside the elevator.
The elevator was also made of metal.
He was hidden within the walls.
No surveillance system would be able to detect his presence.
Only the button on the elevator was pressed, and it descended.
The control center was underground.
The patrolling mecha pilots were also underground.
The elevator doors opened, and Lan Jue was like a fish in water. Here in this underground world of metal, there was no insulation.
All the places with metal and electrical circuits had become areas where he could move freely.
The pirates he'd interrogated hadn't been in vain.
They'd saved Lan Jue a lot of time.
It didn't take long for him to find the control room.
Outside the main control room, there were four mechas standing guard. They were all on guard.
To the Red Tarantula Pirates, this was the true core area.
Unfortunately, they couldn't block the electric current.
Entering the main control room, Lan Jue observed the situation.
There were more than ten pirates on duty. Based on his experience, the Red Tarantulas' planetary defense system was indeed quite advanced.
At the very least, they were at the top level of the three Major Leagues.
They really put in a lot of effort!
Lan Jue observed as she moved quickly.
Soon, he found his target.
The main route of the planet's defense system.
The planetary defense system was a whole system, divided into defense, reconnaissance, attack, and so on.
Amongst them.
The electromagnetic system was a part of the reconnaissance.
Once an enemy came within a certain range of the planet's surface, it would trigger the electromagnetic system and trigger the entire planet's defense system to respond.
Lan Jue did not need to occupy this place to alert the enemy. He only needed to create a chance for his people to land on the surface of the planet.
Lan Jue sent a signal to Majesty that they were ready.
I'm so sleepy.
Let's get something to eat after work? "One of the pirates stretched lazily, looking exhausted.
We can't just eat.
We've been up all night, we need to relax.
I suggest we go for a drink.
It'll be easier to sleep after a drink.
What do you guys think?
Fine, let's go for a drink.
Pity there weren't any girls with big butts this early in the morning.
We'll just have to drink.
We'll be fine once we get through this week.
Next week, we'll be on duty during the day. Won't we still have to do whatever we want at night?
Compared to the brothers on the companion planets, they were lucky. They were only allowed to return to the main planet for a few days a month.
At least we can go there whenever we want.
It was about time to change shifts.
Staying up late always made one more tired.
Just as the pirates were relaxing and preparing to change shifts, all of a sudden, all of the screens vibrated violently, and then the screens turned black.
What's going on? "Everything went dark, and the emergency lights came on.
The pirates on duty immediately panicked. This was the first time they had encountered such a situation. One had to know that the planet's defense system had an abundant power supply. There were as many as three backup power sources. There should not be a black screen at all!
They scrambled to find the source of the problem.
Report to the captain, "one of the pirates said anxiously.
At that moment, there was a buzzing sound, and all the screens came back on. Everything seemed to have returned to normal.
The pirate who was about to call the captain froze, and stopped what he was doing.
Should we notify the captain? "He hesitated.
The leader hesitated as well. They all knew that this was the captain's most important place. If there was a problem, they would be held responsible and punished.
Let's check the system first, see if there's a problem, "the leader said.
Pirates were not an army, after all. They were much more selfish. He chose to avoid the important and dwell on the trivial. He wanted to check the severity of the problem first.
A moment later, the pirates shook their heads and reported that everything was normal.
The leader thought for a moment. "Perhaps a sudden burst of cosmic electrons passed through our planet and caused an electromagnetic storm that affected our circuits.
Now that everything's back to normal, there shouldn't be a problem.
Keep your eyes peeled and scan the planet's surface. See if there's anything wrong.
No problem, everything's normal. Not even a fly. "The pirate's report reassured him.
What they didn't know, however, was that in the short time the power went out, a small device had been installed in the internal signal transmission hub. It was stealing all sorts of electrons.
By this time, Lan Jue had already left the control center and was back in the verti-car.
The first pirate he'd captured had a high level of authority, so with the verti-car it would be much easier for him to get around.
As she piloted the car, Lan Jue connected to Majesty's communicator. "Everything done?
The Accountant's voice came through. "Of course it's done. With my skill, there's no problem.
Majesty has entered the planet's airspace, I've sent you the coordinates.
First Brigade's ace team is on the ground, waiting for you.
Alright.
I'll be there soon!
The verti-car sped off to the side of the base. With the coordinates to guide them, finding their target was much easier.
It wasn't long before they arrived at the quarantine zone.
The so-called quarantine zone was a place where the base's shields prohibited entry. The shields were designed to keep out the outside world, and they emitted strong radiation.
If you wanted to pass through, you had to use a special passageway.
The Red Tarantulas, however, were forbidden from leaving without special permission.
Of course, this wasn't a problem for Lan Jue. The verti-car landed at the nearest passageway, which was also made of metal. Using his powers, Lan Jue quickly made his way out and out to the outside world.
A faint golden light enveloped Lan Jue's body. His speed was so fast that even the satellite's surveillance system could only pick up a faint flicker of light.
And it was very difficult to notice such details at dawn, when one was so tired.
It wasn't long before Lan Jue arrived at his destination. He could feel the faint ripples of energy ahead of him. His silhouette flickered, and in the blink of an eye he disappeared.
Here! "
When his vision cleared, Lan Jue could see the others. The First Brigade's ace team was there, with the Pharmacist at their head.
There was also a female member. Judging by her uniform, she was from Fourth Brigade.
The reason why she participated was because her ability was group invisibility.
It was a great help to the team.
Put it on. "
Lan Jue handed out the communicators he'd acquired in the bar to the others.
Once they were ready, they headed back to the tunnel.
All entrances to the base were guarded by mechas. This one was relatively remote, and small. Only mechas and small cars could pass through. That was why there were only two mechas on guard.
With the protection of group invisibility, they made it to the exit. Lan Jue gestured. "Wait here, I'll take care of the guards.
With that, he disappeared in a bolt of lightning.
Two mechas stood guard on the other side of the tunnel. It was dawn, and it wasn't long before their shift was over. The two pilots had been dozing off in their suits.
If it weren't for the strict security, they'd have long since fallen asleep in their suits.
They didn't understand. What was the point of guarding the tunnel, when it was protected by an alloy door?
It was a waste of time and energy.
Suddenly, they felt a sharp numbness spread through their bodies. The numbness was concentrated in their hearts.
Their eyes went wide, and they clutched at their chests.
Then it began to soften.
After suffering the least amount of pain, they completely lost consciousness.
Open the tunnel. "Lan Jue spoke to the Accountant through the communicator.
Alright, right away! "
The thick and heavy alloy door of the passageway silently opened a gap, and under the protection of invisibility, figures quickly entered the passageway.
Begging for monthly votes and recommendation votes.
