Chapter 351: Internal Strife

POSTED ON MARCH 28, 2023 BY KEN

Although this submersible had many malfunctions, for Fang Linyan who had {Metal Touch}, it was not too difficult to deal with them.

Especially when Fang Linyan was not pursuing a permanent restoration, but only repairing it for temporarily use.

With the sound of the humming engine, Fang Linyan and Goat jumped into the submersible. They had to admit that the interior space and comfort of this submersible were much better than the previous one.

In order to reduce the burden on the dilapidated submersible as much as possible, Fang Linyan voluntarily deactivated the elite mechanical warranty officer.

After Goat sat in the dusty but very soft chair, he couldn’t help snorting comfortably. Within 2 minutes, he began to snore slightly.

Fang Linyan manipulated the submersible to shuttle through the dark passage skillfully, but it didn’t take long before he encountered the turtle jellyfish dancing in the water. It was worth mentioning that its tentacles seemed to be broken a lot. Even a piece of the turtle shell was blasted off,

Obviously, in the hands of Koi’s team, it suffered a big loss.

However, this guy obviously had a very stubborn characteristic. After seeing the submersible of Fang Linyan and Goat, he immediately turned around and swam toward them.

Through the porthole, Fang Linyan even felt a menacing aura in its swimming.

But Fang Linyan was already prepared for this. He took out something from his private space and only lifted the lid slightly.

When this turtle jellyfish saw it, it was like seeing a ghost and immediately ran away frantically. The speed of its escape was jaw-dropping, causing the few damaged tentacles to break due to excessive force.

Seeing the 2 broken tentacles dangling like noodles in the water, Fang Linyan pondered for a moment and drove the submersible over, then he used the mechanical arm to clamp the 2 tentacles.

This was because he suddenly thought of one thing, the age of this turtle jellyfish was not young at first glance, probably 100 or 200 hundred years old.

The Bloody Umbrella Company’s expedition team must have tried to capture it, which could be seen from the spear embedded in its shell, but they failed in the end.

Therefore, these 2 tentacles were samples that even the Bloody Umbrella Company couldn’t get! If he brought this thing back to the headquarters of the Duckland Company, there should be a high chance of getting rewards!

The sampling function of the submersible was still very perfect. Soon, Fang Linyan held these 2 tentacles in his hand and immediately felt the difference.

His {Metal Touch} could take effect on them, which meant that the metal content of the tentacles was at least more than 20%.

Although the tentacles had been disconnected from the main body, they were very active in his hands, struggling constantly with amazing strength.

Fang Linyan even had the illusion that he was holding an extremely fresh moray eel.

And the feeling wasn’t like pinching meat, but the kind of baton with a built-in steel core, which was a hard band of soft.

The submersible quickly surfaced. Although they were not depressed, they couldn’t wait to open the hatch to take a breath of fresh air. Then, they identified the direction and drove toward the location of the nuclear power plant.

Before they left the hibernating Pumesh, they asked Nimbus for a map of the vicinity. Nimbus didn’t care about this kind of trivial matter, so it just summoned a mapping spider robot to meet their needs.

After they surfaced, they compared the map and quickly embarked on the return road. When they got close to the nuclear power plant, they heard gunshots from a long distance away. They looked at each other and went forward secretly, then they quietly peeped at the side.

Soon, they understood the whole story.

The Gumball Company hit a hard wall at Testing Field and suffered heavy casualties,

However, the enemy’s resistance did not make them feel hopeless, so they decided to simply occupy this place for a long time and they naturally thought of a very crucial point.

The power supply system here must be in their control.

Therefore, in the case of a shortage of manpower, they still dispatched a small team and hurried over with 3 professionals in electricity.

However, they never expected that the “remnants” of the Duckland Company also managed to escape here and even guarded it.

In fact, Feos, the leader, also noticed that these guys inside were at least unprofessional in combat, but their determination to resist was very firm. Not only that, but they also claimed to have planted bombs in vital places. If the other party dared to come in, then they would perish together.

This immediately gave Feos a headache, because there was a nuclear reactor here! Once the situation here got out of control, the other party would really blow up the power station and cause a nuclear leak.

Then the people present didn’t have to wait for the punishment from above, and everyone within 2km radius would die!

Not only that, but even the geological structure of the entire underground laboratory might change, causing it to completely collapse.

Just when Feos frowned and thought hard about the solution, he suddenly saw a cup of coffee appearing in his field of vision.

The steaming hot kind.

Feos took it over and took a sip, and he said casually,

“Lack some sugar.”

Then he felt something was wrong, because this was not his spacious and comfortable office, but the outside of the nuclear power plant!

Feos instinctively raised his head and drew his gun, then he saw an ordinary-looking man smiling at him and saying,

“Okay, Mr. Feos, would you like some cream?”

Then Feos saw a fist rapidly enlarge in his vision and hit his face heavily. Feos passed out without even making a sound.

Fang Linyan withdrew his fist in satisfaction. He was able to touch Feos’ side without being noticed. Besides the fact that this guy was in a trance, Basic Step LV6 also played a big role.

To be honest, the manpower sent by Gumball Company this time was very average in terms of combat power. From Fang Linyan’s point of view, they were just ordinary soldiers. It could be seen that the Gumball Company paid a costly price at the Testing Field, so the quality of the dispatched people dropped.

Feos brought 6 combatants this time. 4 of them went to the nuclear power plant ahead to confront Lanket and the others, and there were only 2 electricity experts left beside him.

After Fang Linyan took down Feos, Goat also took down the 2 electricity experts who stayed behind.

After some interrogation, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the Gumball Company had also fallen into a weak state at this time. They could only shrink the main force and gather at the laboratory and the entrance and exit of the elevator to ensure that the benefits already obtained would not be lost.

Then Fang Linyan summoned the elite mechanical warrant officer and let it move forward while Goat monitored the battlefield to prevent anyone from escaping.

At this time, they were attacking from behind and these people weren’t considered ordinary people even though they were well-trained, so Fang Linyan and the elite mechanical warrant officer finished the battle within a minute.

Discovering gunshots outside, Lanket and others immediately began to pay close attention to the situation outside.

When they found out that it was their own people who came to help, and they had the absolute upper hand, they were immediately overjoyed and rushed out to fight.

After the two parties met, Fang Linyan knew that the security measures at the nuclear power plant were very strict. Their attempt to sabotage the power line not only failed, but they also triggered a trap which killed 2 people on the spot.

Soon after they withdrew in frustration, they were assaulted by Feos and others. The only remaining researchers left were Lanket and another one named Mochi.

Facing Lanket’s inquiry, Fang Linyan and Goat simply said one sentence:

“We’ve found a way out without having to go through the elevator.”

After hearing this, Lanket and Mochi were immediately overjoyed. They asked Fang Linyan to give them some time to pack their things. After discovering the enemy, they decisively hid the research results, which could be used as a life-saving chip. They could dispose of it if it really couldn’t work.

Fang Linyan naturally told them that there was no problem.

As a result, not long after they entered, they suddenly heard a gunshot coming from inside. Fang Linyan and Goat were shocked. They rushed in immediately, only to see Lanket pursuing Mochi with a pistol, then he shouted,

“Mochi is from Fincher Company. He wanted to plot against me just now, but I dodged it.”

And Mochi, who was shot in the abdomen, hid in a small airtight room beside and said in pain,

“Don’t listen to him. Lanket is jealous that I discovered the core secrets of the Bloody Umbrella Company and I didn’t hand it over to him. He is afraid that I will take his position when I go back, so he slanders me for trying to kill me!”

Mochi’s voice gradually became weaker. He was obviously dying.

Hearing Mochi’s words, Lanket shouted in agitation as if he had been stabbed,

“Nonsense, he’s talking nonsense. Why would I be jealous of you?”

Mochi said tremblingly,

“Mr. Wynch, Lanket threatened me just now, telling me to hand over the core secrets of the Bloody Umbrella Company that I discovered, otherwise he would make me regret it. He even tempted me with 10 million!”

Lanket immediately shouted angrily,

“Nonsense, you are slandering me?!”

Mochi said weakly,

“Mr. Wynch, I guarantee that every word I said is true! Because I heard who Lanket was before I came here, I carried a recorder pun with me every time I was alone with him.”

TL: Kill both of them and get the secret?
