Abyssal Wanderer

Chapter 89 NO.0058: Stress Test

The first person to react was White.

Tears that hadn't dried up hung on her face, and she ran to Jiang Zhou's side anxiously. When the latter saw this, he immediately put down the black-skinned strong man on his shoulders, and pushed it into his sister's hands.

"The broken rib was pierced into the lobe of the lung, and I can be saved immediately by sending him to the hospital."

Jiang Zhou said.

Recalling the old man's previous behavior of trying to wipe himself off, he added:

"Also, don't say I saved it."

"I don't know how to thank you, I..."

Carefully picking up his younger brother, White thanked him repeatedly with trembling lips.

It was also the first time that Jiang Zhou saw an expression so close to that of an ordinary person from the other party's face that was extremely intimidating due to genetic enhancement.

Come to think of it, she is probably the same as the elder sister who cares about her younger brother in the whole world.

"Don't thank me, hurry up and take him to the hospital... If he is so dead, whose money will I win from playing cards?"

Jiang Zhou waved his hand, and then his eyes turned to the armed flying car hovering not far away, and the deep blue and the others under the flying car.

One, two, three, four, five...

Taking a random glance, Jiang Zhou counted silently in his heart.

As far as he could see, there were at least five automatic weapons aimed at him. They cover each other, weaving into an impenetrable cross-fire network.

If there was a conflict, in this open area with no cover, even if he tried his best to dodge, it would only take a second or two to be smashed into a sieve.

Not to mention...

Simply ignoring the automatic weapons aimed at him overtly and secretly, Jiang Zhou focused on the man standing beside Shenlan like a steel tower.

Wearing the standard full-cover exoskeleton shell armor of the resettlement area government, holding a huge railgun in his hand. That person gave Jiang Zhou a sense of oppression that was stronger than all the others combined.

The other party just glanced at him, and Jiang Zhou's edge enhancement system made his muscles tense up.

Dangerous enough to be fatal.

Primal survival instinct reminded him so.

That person is definitely an adjustment person, and the depth of adjustment is higher than himself.

Depth 2? depth 3?

Not only that, it is very likely that the other party is still an adjustment person walking on the path of upgrading—otherwise the premonition of danger brought by the edge enhancement system would not be so strong.

This was an opponent that he couldn't beat one-on-one even in his prime...

However, this does not prevent Jiang Zhou from greeting his family when he hears that the other party intends to dump the blame on the Icarus Liberation Front.

"Ms. Dark Blue, who is this?"

Ignoring Jiang Zhou's previous scolding, the man turned his head to look at Shen Lan and asked.

"The bodyguard I hired before."

Dark Blue replied in a cold tone.

As she said that, she also turned her head and looked at the other party's black mask integrated with countless sensors.

Her eyes were as indifferent as her tone.

"And coincidentally, the person who protected me came from the same place as the person you claimed to come to kill me earlier."

she continued.

Even though she couldn't see the other person's expression through the mask, Deep Blue could still clearly feel that person stunned for a moment.

"You mean, this kid is...from Icarus?"

About two seconds later, the other party confirmed with some disbelief.

Deep Blue didn't answer, but threw his car keys to White who was anxious to send his brother to the hospital.

"How can you hire someone from Icarus to be your bodyguard? This is not a violation of the principle of neutrality..."

Seeing this, the man's tone suddenly became cold.

"If I hadn't hired him, I would have been a corpse by the time you arrived."

As for this, Deep Blue replied without emotion.

Of course, this may be the situation you are happy to see...

Deep Blue thought so in her heart.

But after hesitating for a while, she finally didn't say this sentence.

There is no need to tear your face apart now, everything will be discussed later when you return to the tenth floor.

Thinking of this, she walked towards Liao Qi.

As she walked, she continued:

"So, don't continue to say anything in front of me, 'Icarus sent someone to assassinate me', such speeches that insult my IQ. This matter ends here, you..."

Shen Lan didn't finish her words, Liao Qi, who was standing still before, suddenly rushed towards her for some reason.

His speed was so fast that Deep Blue was dazzled for a while, and after she realized it, Liao Qi had blocked herself behind her like a lion protecting its cub.

Realizing something, Dark Blue turned around.

Sure enough, a row of black muzzles were aimed at her and Liao Qi at this moment.

Those members of the security center's rapid response force were standing like a firing squad at the moment.

"What do you want to do?"

Facing the scene in front of him, Deep Blue was shocked and angry.

How dare they?

Being able to become an agent of the negative layer, Deep Blue is naturally not a fool.

The serial assassination against him, the act of planting the blame on Icarus, and the belated reinforcement... All these things show that someone wants to use his death to provoke the resettlement area government and Icarus' paradox.

And among these "some people", the public security center on the first floor, which has the most powerful armed force of the resettlement district government in the underground, but does not have much autonomy, is not without participation. reason.

But even so, Deep Blue didn't think that after the previous assassination failed, the opponent would tear his face so directly.

Assassination is one thing, tearing the skin apart is another. No matter how you say it, no matter how the interim government in the resettlement area is a joke, they still maintain a certain face.

And the inability to openly hostile between various departments is one of the faces that must be maintained.

"Please don't be nervous, Ms. Deep Blue. We just need you to admit that the previous assassination of you was done by Icarus. So, please let the other party come over, and then leave everything here to us."

The person in the lead looked at Shen Lan and said very sincerely.

As sincere as an ultimatum.

Seeing that Shenlan didn't reply, he paused and added:

"You know, this is what the above means, so please don't make it difficult for us."

The other party said that this meant "above", but Shen Lan naturally couldn't believe this kind of nonsense. After all, implementing the details of the cooperation between the government of the resettlement area and Icarus is the task assigned to them by the old men who are really in power on the tenth floor.

If it is said that the government of the resettlement area was still worried that the Icarus Liberation Front would integrate the entire underground stratum and challenge their authority. So now, they, who have been severely hit by Pluto's deep dive, are the state that the tenth floor is most willing to see.

It can maintain the stability of the underground order, but it will not be strong enough to challenge the authority of the government.

Therefore, at least until Icarus is strong enough again, it is impossible for the tenth floor to attack them.

This is their consistent approach to balance.

"Is this what the above means, or what you mean?"

Shen Lan calmed down and said, and then she continued without waiting for the other party's answer:

"Of course, no matter who it is, I will protect this person."

As she spoke, she walked to Liao Qi's side.

At this distance, if the opponent shoots, he will definitely accidentally injure himself.

The man at the head of the task force sighed. Instead of answering her question, he sent her several encrypted messages that disappeared after reading.

【Ms. Dark Blue, please believe me, this is not worth your doing. 】

[After all, the important thing in this whole thing is not your life or death, but the fact that Icarus attacked the bar in the dark blue section happened. Therefore, as long as you stand by our side, I will guarantee with my life that you will be absolutely safe in the future. 】

As for this, Deep Blue just sneered, and then said directly:

"I can say whatever you want, but it is absolutely impossible for him to go with you. In addition, it is impossible for me to testify that Icarus planned the assassination plan... However, regarding the response speed of the security center on the first floor, I will There will definitely be an upward reaction.”

Hearing this, the man sighed again:

"Is that so, but I think some things may not be up to you."

After he finished speaking, several people wearing the same type of powered exoskeleton jumped out of the speeding car.

Afraid of accidentally injuring them by shooting, those people formed a siege and walked towards them slowly.

"Sorry, Liao Qi."

"What's there to be sorry about?"

Liao Qi replied calmly.

Hearing such an answer, the apology on Shen Lan's face became heavier:

"You saved my life twice before, but in the end, I couldn't pay back even once... I will definitely avenge you. Of course, there is also Booker's plan. I swear that I will never tell it... By the way, what else do you want to do? I will definitely..."

Deep Blue spoke incoherently.

However, at this time, Liao Qi, who had put on a defensive posture before, suddenly relaxed.

"It does not matter."

Jiang Zhou said so.

"How could it not matter?"

Dark Blue looked at him seriously.

"They are doing this now because they feel that they are the one with the absolute advantage in terms of force at the moment, and they can take advantage of this last opportunity to fight for a shot, and directly strike first and then play."

Jiang Zhou said, looking at the guys who were gradually approaching, and even sat down on the ground.

After several consecutive matches, he was a little tired.

"In addition, they naively think that the influence they can use from their backers is enough to help settle the consequences of such reckless actions."

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Shen Lan who was looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"But they were wrong, and very wrong."

Jiang Zhou concluded.

"Wrong...what do you mean?"

Deep Blue asked in puzzlement.

"First of all, the influence of the backers they rely on is far less powerful than they imagined...it's just the remnants of Ye Qian's faction left in the ten-level government, and they can only act on the basis of momentary inertia. After that, When Perse Fanny's forces enter, they will be wiped out immediately."

Jiang Zhou looked at those people and said.

Without waiting for Deep Blue to ask, Jiang Zhou continued:

"Secondly, they are not the ones who have the advantage in force right now."

Having said that, Jiang Zhou sent a message to a communication channel.

【Deep Blue passed the stress test, she can be completely trusted. But to be honest, I think it's totally superfluous for you to do this... Anyway, show up now. 】

"What's the meaning?"

Deep Blue, who still hadn't figured out the situation at the moment, asked.

Jiang Zhou didn't answer, but just raised his finger and pointed to the sky.

On the negative floor, under the steel sky with sky-blue clear sky lights on, five silent anti-gravity aircraft neatly released their optical camouflage, and appeared in the sky above them in an A-line formation.

The logo of Pluto Diving's bident intertwined with the invisible helmet is printed on the front of each aircraft.

Those guys from the public security center task force immediately stopped their steps when they noticed the anti-gravity aircraft, and looked at the sky in horror.

What's happening here? The aircraft of Pluto Deep Diving Company?

In addition to the five hovering aircraft, there was another person hovering in mid-air regardless of gravity.

The Aegis individual combat module was constantly changing its shape on the man's body, and the microwave transmitter buried in his right arm was pointing at the captain of the task force at his feet.

Needless to say, the visitor was none other than Icarus' leader, Booker Irwin.

As for the five anti-gravity aircraft, they were the guards sent by Perse Fanny to escort the universal printer.

【Don't complain, kid, it's rare to have such an opportunity. If you are sure that Deep Blue is really trustworthy, then you can also get out of the job of bodyguard】

In the communication channel, Booker, who had been observing in the sky for a long time, replied.

I was delayed because I had something to go out, a little late, sorry
