Chapter 959: Chapter 195: The Young Boy’s First Step into Jianghu

Of course, in the end, Song and Little R really did take a break.

The moment these two heard "meeting notes," their hands started trembling. One might have thought they had uninstalled the anti-tremor plugin. Seeing their agony, Yuki volunteered, saying that he had wanted to be a Scientific Knight when he was young, but couldn’t; so he wanted to experience the feeling of taking meeting notes, and he could do it.

However, Inzewei didn’t want to hand over the chat records to Yuki and insisted on taking notes himself.

As the discussions progressed, Yuki began to assist these Research Knight Apprentices with their defense strategies.

"It really depends on whether the government or the Six Dragons Sect’s pursuers find us first." During the first military group meeting, Yuki said: "There are mainly two ways to attack this submarine. One is to detonate a bomb outside and blow us all up. The second is to storm inside and kill us all."

"And according to some plans my master had made before, the second possibility is actually higher—if the Six Dragons Sect aims for ’silencing,’ they will likely choose the second option."

The reason is simple: the fully cyberized Benchmark Man’s life force is too tenacious.

Compared to cyber warriors, cockroaches and mice are merely "fragile and transient lives."

Even a normal cyber warrior can survive hundreds of meters from a nuclear blast center without shelter—of course, only survive. Whether the prosthetic body can still move, no guarantees.

The life of Homo sapiens relies on the body. Breathing, blood circulation, an entire complex system supporting Homo sapiens’ life. But a cyberized Benchmark Man only needs energy to survive. No breathing is required; even large-scale damage to the prosthetic body won’t lead to death.

In extreme cases, cyber warriors have survived near ground zero of a nuclear explosion.

And they’re not even one-level martial artists.

This life force, this resistance to explosives and projectiles, is the foundation of cyber warriors dominating the battlefield.

In other words, a torpedo hitting the submarine directly cannot guarantee the complete elimination of all enemies inside the submarine.

Yuki is proof of that. His vehicle got caught in the shock wave of a torpedo explosion, yet he almost escaped intact.

A torpedo tearing apart the submarine would send countless metal fragments flying across the seabed, which would instead serve as cover for any remaining enemies to escape.

And these Scientific Knights, if dispersed, would be even harder to catch.

If, in this process, a Scientific Knight defected and was captured by the Protector, the Six Dragons Sect would be in grave trouble.

For Homo sapiens, if a steel barrier shatters, he would most likely shatter with it.

But the body of a cyber man is steel. For them, the environment is soft.

Unless they are hit directly by the full force of an explosion, the secondary damage caused by the shock wave is insufficient to eliminate cyber warriors.

"In other words, if the Six Dragons Sect truly harbors the thought of ’necessary silencing,’ they will definitely choose to surround the submarine, then infiltrate it, ensuring no one can escape, and then take their heads one by one, perhaps even reading memories to confirm the number of people," Yuki said.

Inzewei’s comment on this was: "Exactly."

As Yuki knew, among the apprentices in this submarine, not many practiced external strength seriously. To say they can’t fight at all would be incorrect, as they do use Martial Arts Algorithms, which are much stronger than those taught in the lower levels of the Green Forest, and they don’t lack resources like drugs, keeping up with basic reactions.

But to say they’re very strong would be an overstatement. These people have rarely experienced life-or-death battles.

Perhaps their entire understanding of external strength is included in the few seconds it took to knock over an Official Knight at a harbor.

At such a level, a Life-Chasing Ranger could easily annihilate them.

Considering this situation, Yuki gave it some thought. He tried to recall the various plans his master had devised before and the underwater combat methods of the Six Dragons Sect he had seen.

He said, "To ensure silencing and not to attract the Protector Army, the Six Dragons Council will try to avoid using undersea mines. And since we lack underwater combat martial arts, it’s foreseeable that they will not invade the submarine’s interior. What we need to do is to guard the submarine well. This gives us the advantage to choose the terrain strategically."

According to Yuki, what these Research Knight Apprentices needed to do was to guard key junctions with firearms.

Some martial artists may claim they dislike the Firearms Path, but it’s definitely not because they think firearms are weak. On the contrary, they understand the strength of firearms well.

The "range advantage" brought by firearms is the top choice for those weaker in external strength against those stronger in external strength.

Simultaneously, the long and narrow passageways of the submarine could limit the enemy’s ability to dodge.

However, one must be cautious not to stand near the submarine’s outer shell.

If the enemy’s martial power is strong enough to tear the submarine’s shell, they could use wired communication to perceive the submarine’s interior layout and attack through the shell.

Yuki speculated that this is entirely possible.

"Even if the submarine sinks, it’s not a big deal. We could dismantle the reactor and walk all the way to Africa," Yuki warned: "Repelling the pursuers is the most important thing. At our current level, we shouldn’t be thinking of preserving the submarine."

Yuki designed several defense and counterattack plans, winning unanimous praise from the Research Knight Apprentices.

With this hero joining, everything seemed to change.

However...

Yuki felt more uncertain than anyone else.

This was his first time planning tactics and designing various plans independently, without his master. In Recycling Station Town and the Green Forest Professor, it was merely a coincidental meeting where all three partners knew they wouldn’t encounter any powerful experts. But now, Yuki was facing a completely unknown situation.

The upper limit of the "Six Dragons Sect" organization was so high that Yuki didn’t know at what level to design the defense strategies. He kept wondering if there was anything he hadn’t considered.

He continuously roamed different parts of the submarine, using the blueprints to simulate various tactics in his mind.

This time, he came to a small area near the wheelhouse, looking upwards, contemplating "if the enemy attacks from this place, what can we do?"

But at that moment, a silhouette huddled in the corner caught his attention.

"Sect Leader Song?" Yuki walked over. The silhouette trembled, then quickly pulled a storage device out of the prosthetic body, and shouted, "What is it? What do you want?"

Yuki chuckled: "Sifting through junk information alone here?"

"Junk information... oh yes, yes..." Inzewei nodded: "Just junk information."
