Chapter 689: Chapter 333 Weapons

The singing echoing through the corridor instantly allowed Amilcare to locate his target. He immediately turned in that direction.

Following closely, however, was a warning alarm for a "sectional closure" dropping down.

Before Amilcare could turn the last corner, the heavy metal partition had already fallen.

Amilcare swung his lance again, shattering the surrounding walls.

His lance was not just a simple cold weapon. It actually functioned as a large electromagnetic pile driver. Amilcare did not hold it in his hands; instead, it was fixed in place through an interface on his forearm. The most central metal rod inside was filled with heavy elements that are quite far down the periodic table, wrapped with a ferromagnetic high-performance alloy, and controlled by a Magnetic Field Generator.

This interface relative to Amilcare’s arm was fixed, but the shaft of the lance could slide freely.

Amilcare was specially equipped with this device in case Hiroshi Matsushima escaped underground.

This weapon could forcibly break apart typical earth and stone.

Moreover, the very center of this lance was hollow, housing a steel spike with a depleted uranium core, which could be ejected at high speeds using an electromagnetic field. Most Prosthetic Bodies would be pierced through by it.

In the last battle, Amilcare hadn’t brought this piece of equipment. His Prosthetic Body indeed had sufficient strength, but using that costly body for such construction machinery tasks was not cost-effective.

This weapon could be used to destroy underground structures, and naturally piercing through the interior walls of a building was no problem. The non-load-bearing structure of the Pine Eagle Building was as crisp as a cookie to Amilcare. They broke through several walls again and arrived where the singing had come from.

But Xiang Shan was no longer there.

Two huge canine Prosthetic Bodies standing over a meter tall sniffed the ground, then quickly relayed the results back to Amilcare.

The group accelerated once again.

Minutes later, they found a group of remains.

Without needing to say much, an Internal expert went to extract the memory modules from these dead individuals to search their last memories.

The Internal expert quickly recompiled the memory files and shared them with Amilcare.

Amilcare loaded this segment of memory.

At the very beginning of the memory, their Commander received several contradictory commands and immediately halted their action, waiting for a reliable command.

However, the place where they stopped was not a good one. The corner machine gun fort unexpectedly launched an attack at them.

The Commander immediately organized the team into action. Those carrying high-performance shields quickly stepped forward to form a line, establishing a defensive front. Meanwhile, the rest rapidly destroyed the machine gun fort.

But midway through the action, two members exhibited abnormalities. According to the last surveillance data, their brain activity became erratic, and they fell into a frenzy.

Then, from another corner, came the singing.

"...Join our ranks, ally [Join the line-up, become one of our comrades] /

Beyond the fort with a world there is [Beyond the barricade is a new world] /

Fight, that is the path to freedom [...]"

Someone was casually walking over.

His ultrasonic singing seemed to contain certain "curses". The backdoor instructions from the lower levels disrupted the soldiers’ operations. He thus walked leisurely towards this group of soldiers.

The promising front-line Commander wanted to resist, but was instantly neck-snapped by the enemy lifting a rifle.

That rifle was still a Holy Knight’s.

Amilcare placed one hand over his chest and saluted the Commander.

"She brought very important intelligence," Amilcare said, "that rebellious Inner Strength has reached the Transformation Realm, but even at this time, he did not reveal any external strength."

With the help of the Bionic Fist Technique practitioners, Amilcare began tracking again.

Then, he heard a melodious song.

"...A la volonté du peuple[For the will of the people]/

Et à la santé du progrès,[For the progress of society]/

Remplis ton cœur d’un vin rebelle[Fill your chest with rebellious wine]/

Et à demain, ami fidèle.[To the future, my friend]"

Amilcare pierced directly through the wall and blew up the source of the sound.

But the singer was apparently not a real person, rather a playback device.

Then, another song began.

"Come, dedicate your strength/ Follow the red flag and charge ahead.

Sacrifice without fear of falling, better to die than to live a coward’s life.

Let the martyrs’ blood perfume the world’s seasons with its scent!"

However, this time Amilcare wasn’t distracted.

He closed his eyes and, based on known intelligence, modeled the enemy’s behavior patterns, predicting their next move.

"Not heading to the aircraft docking platform..."

"The target isn’t the elevator shaft either..."

"Right, the events three years ago made me fortify the defense in both these places. The troops at these two locations operate independently from the building’s command system, and there are combat robots on standby in the elevator shafts."

"He has clearly realized that before I entered the building, I ordered the external troops to close in on the Pine Eagle Building, cutting off the mob’s connection with the building. He can’t rush out of the building and blend into the crowd."

After a period of analysis, Amilcare realized that he couldn’t guess the opponent’s purpose.

This guy seemed to be just running in circles.

—Is this... a desperate last stand? Did he come here prepared for self-sacrifice?

—However, I have grasped his trajectory.

So, Amilcare broke through the floor again, piercing it several times in succession.

He didn’t need to know the opponent’s objective. He just had to be a bit faster.

Meanwhile, in a maintenance room on a certain floor, a 3D printer was entering its final phase. A specialized tool was slowly taking shape.

Xiang Shan hummed softly: "Do you hear the people sing? Singing the song of angry men? It is the music of a people Who will not be slaves again! When the beating of your heart Echoes the beating of the drums There is a life about to start When tomorrow comes."

He pushed open the door and walked into the unlit maintenance room, delivering a punch that shattered the 3D printer’s protective cover. The protective gas inside leaked out, and Xiang Shan reached in to grab the thread-like object.

This was a weapon specially made based on Matsushima’s videos and the surveillance footage he had just stolen, designed specifically for Amilcare. The reason Xiang Shan had gone around in circles was to wait for this weapon to be finished.

Without this weapon, Xiang Shan could basically win. But with it completed, he could achieve the greatest victory at the least cost.

What remained was to lure that guy over.

Xiang Shan sang out loud: "Will you join in our crusade? Who will be strong and stand with me? Beyond the barricade Is there a world you long to see? Then join in the fight That will give you the right to be free!"
