144: Chapter 127 Agony and Fear 144: Chapter 127 Agony and Fear As soon as she rushed in, Seeking Shadow knew she had come to the right place.
The walls were adorned with at least a hundred guns, all placed on metal racks, representing the powerful firepower of the new era.
She quickly searched her database for relevant information, looking for the weapon best suited to her.
To carry out shadow justice, one needed a main battle rifle and a close combat weapon.
Main battle rifles are a new concept introduced by Black Fire Innovation, advocating for a single weapon to perform composite functions.
Many of Black Fire Innovation’s flagship military products are designed with this idea in mind.
They have long range, can switch between precision shooting and fully automatic modes, are equipped with grenade launchers, can carry out assault tasks, have an internal ammunition-switching system, which can be set for enhanced armor penetration or increased lethality against the human body, and all parts are fully modular and can be exchanged with other handguns and submachine guns in the Black Fire series, making battlefield repairs very convenient.
Sure enough, such a weapon was also found in this armory.
She swiftly reached out and took a sleek, black main battle rifle off the wall.
It was the standard firearm prepared by Black Fire Innovation for elite combat personnel, the E7 Main Battle Rifle “Soul Reaper.” Seeking Shadow grabbed the bullets and tossed them into her bag, filling the magazine of the E7.
Thinking of the Rat Sentinel Perry, Seeking Shadow also took a 9mm handgun, the P6-style “Scorpion Sting,” prepared to bring it to him.
Her gaze swept across the armory, and quickly settled on a cyan blade fixed on the wall with a glass rack, emitting a stable ion beam from the hilt and dazzling with a faint blue glow.
The concentrated high-energy beam buzzed enticingly, as if waiting for a strong enough swordsman to take it off the wall and bring it to battle, to the place where it was most needed.
The Ion Sword!
Perhaps the melee weapon with the strongest piercing capability at present.
In the KM Rating led by the Corporate Alliance, used to assess the rarity of technology, the ion weapons scored KM70.
By comparison, the “Cloud-Beast” Nano Armor that Xu Yang wore, with its composite functions, only scored a KM65 rating.
Kong Tai’s pride was the Ion Axe that he was given in service to Black Fire Innovation, and now Seeking Shadow had obtained a weapon of this caliber as well.
She quickly pulled the Ion Sword off the wall and shook it in the air.
The ion flow surged wildly, but contained by the force field, it formed a blade as thin as wings.
Seeking Shadow rapidly scoured her linguistic database to find the most suitable name for it.
“Shadow Kill”!
She sheathed Shadow Kill at her waist and found a black tactical vest.
She continued to gather useful items, stuffing enough explosive grenades and Electromagnetic Pulse Grenades into the vest pockets.
She also found combat knives, energy batteries, nuclear fission batteries, spare gun components, Healing Injections, robot repair kits, first aid sprays, and other smaller portable tools, all of which she packed into the vest, better safe than sorry.
Immediately afterward, Seeking Shadow leapt away from Hundred Seas Apartments, carefully closed the door, mounted her S400 motorbike, and headed straight for the Wind Sea Color hotel.
The hotel was located on a quiet street with a shabby bar set up outside, doing poor business, and the proprietor leaned on the counter, dozing off.
Seeking Shadow parked her motorcycle nearby, pressed the Rat Communicator, and soon saw Perry signaling to her from the rooftop.
With Perry’s assistance, Seeking Shadow hooked her way up high and agilely climbed to the rooftop.
“He’s right below.” Perry pointed inside, “I heard from the little rats that a tall man in a coat went in, he’s in room 202.”
“Here you go.” Seeking Shadow handed the “Scorpion Sting” handgun and combat knife to Perry.
“Oh!” Perry was overjoyed, having never received such a valuable gift in its life, or rather, this was the first time it had ever received a gift.
It couldn’t help but fiddle with the gun in its hands constantly.
With this, it wouldn’t have to be bullied by the big black rats at the Rat Sentinel Station anymore.
Seeking Shadow transmitted the information about the man in the coat in room 202 to Xu Yang, who immediately hacked into the hotel’s network system.
Unfortunately, the camera only captured the corridor outside room 202, which was extremely quiet, with the orange glow casting an ambiguous haze over the gray carpet.
The camera was of no use, but he found another networked smart wall-mounted screen inside.
This wall-mounted screen connected to the hotel’s wireless network.
Xu Yang traced from the network unit upwards, cracked the encryption, and gained control of it discreetly activating its camera.
Instantly, the room’s information was laid bare.
Xu Yang forwarded the footage to Seeking Shadow so she could understand everything happening inside the room.
—The stocky man was photocopying a book in his hands.
By this time, he had removed his coat and was wearing only an old-fashioned linen robe.
He sat on the bed with a scanner in front of him, patiently placing a thick black book onto the scanner, occasionally turning a page, recording the information on it, and sending it thousands of kilometers away to his accomplices.
That confirmed the real culprit.
With every page scanned, he tore it out and threw it into the brazier at his feet, burning them to ashes.
Now that the content had been successfully scanned, the book as a medium served no more purpose and could not fall into the hands of others.
Meanwhile, he had placed his private smart terminal on the table, engaged in a video call.
“Gaoni, you really have patience.” On the screen, a black warlock sat cross-legged under a thatched roof, his face painted with white, mysterious symbols.
