Chapter 481: Chapter 337: Armory_2

Hughes spoke up: "My suggestion is to allow the base commander and his men to safely land within the base while we deploy our weapons. Once they step out of the spacecraft and fighters, we strike. This way, we can not only use Lanji to control their spacecraft and fighters, cutting off their retreat, but also ensure their complete annihilation."

"Your arrangement is more rational than mine; let’s do it your way." Upon hearing this, Li Yi immediately heeded the advice and changed his mind.

After all, he was not a professional and his understanding of tactical planning was not as good as Hughes’s.

"Yi, you are good at listening to the right opinions, and I admire that about you."

Hughes said earnestly, having infiltrated the Gongpan base for many years, dealing with the base commander and other colleagues numerous times, he was acutely aware of the arrogance and stubbornness of those nobles. Without equal status, they wouldn’t take anyone’s advice, even if it was correct.

Because they felt that your suggestions were an insult to them, a challenge to their authority, and disrespectful.

He was relieved that Yi, this exceptional rebel leader, had not developed such faults.

Soon after.

The two started to take action. Hughes and his four teammates disguised as normal, preparing at the base’s airfield to welcome the arrival of the base commander, while Li Yi had Hong Zhen and Hei Shi lead everyone to arm themselves and hide. As for Ji Ke, he was with Lanji in the command room, ready to take over the enemy’s spacecraft and fighters at any moment.

After all preparations were made, in less than half an hour.

The unsuccessful spacecraft and fighters appeared in the sky over the base.

Following the landing of the fighters and spacecraft, a muscular bald man in uniform, followed by several beautiful female genetic warriors, angrily descended from the spacecraft.

"Damn it, the scum of Philadelphia managed to destroy the Hope Building and then fled, leaving behind only a mess for me to clean up. I don’t want to deal with this crap. Philadelphia is a poor and stinky place, and I feel nauseous just breathing the air there. Tell the Federation that the rebel forces of Philadelphia have been wiped out by me. Request awards, and also, the base lost five spacecraft, have the Federation allocate funds..."

He was the base commander of the Gongpan base, named Da Jin, currently venting his anger while walking.

His anger wasn’t due to the fruitless trip, but because he felt mocked by the scum of Philadelphia, his dignity and face hurt.

The few beautiful female genetic warriors behind him bowed their heads and dared not utter a word at this moment.

Meanwhile, other fifth-level genetic warriors descended from other spacecraft and fighters with their subordinates.

These people totaled more than two hundred.

These were all the available combat-ready genetic warriors at the base, and to quell the unrest in Philadelphia, Base Commander Da Jin deployed everyone because he heard some disturbing rumors of a level-six genetic warrior among the rebels.

If the situation were true, he might have even remotely activated the Thunder fighters.

However, before getting accurate information, Da Jin was reluctant to deploy his precious three Thunder fighters.

What Da Jin didn’t know now was that his long-treasured Thunder fighters had already switched masters, becoming playthings of Li Yi, even used for cargo loading.

"Congratulations on the base’s victorious return; this operation must have gone exceptionally smoothly."

At this moment, Hughes, accompanied by his four teammates, was welcoming them. He wore a flattering smile, just as usual.

"Hughes, are you making fun of me? This operation failed. The rebels of Philadelphia have slipped away, leaving only the ruined Hope Building. They clearly prepared to flee in advance."

Da Jin stared coldly at Hughes, and for some reason, he found today’s flattery very unnatural.

There was an indescribable mocking tone that made it uncomfortable.

If it weren’t for the fact that Hughes in front of him had become a level-six genetic warrior, he would not have been polite at all, and would have found a reason to reassign him to guard a lighthouse long ago.

"Lord Da Jin, you have misunderstood, I meant no disrespect," Hughes said. "Moreover, I have an important message to tell you."

"What good news? Speak your mind, don’t waste my precious time," Da Jin frowned and said impatiently.

"Perhaps, the resistance that left Philadelphia did not go far; instead, they have come to the Gongpan Base, and they are already prepared to welcome you," Hughes said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Da Jin burst into large laughter: "Hughes, you are quite the comedian, knowing I’m in a bad mood and then concocting such a joke to cheer me up. Good, you’re doing great, I’ll approve the equipment you requested later."

The other level five genetic warriors who had come along also burst into laughter.

Did that despicable resistance dare to come to the Gongpan Base to seek death? Those people didn’t even have a single decent weapon, let alone afford artificial intelligence. How could they break through the base’s defensive systems? With that laughable resistance spirit?

However, as they laughed, the smiles on their faces soon faded.

A dazzling energy beam suddenly shot from somewhere, piercing through the chest of a level five genetic warrior with ease amidst the frantic warnings of his battle armor.

"This is...?"

The level five genetic warrior froze. Then, instinctively looking in the direction of the shot, he quickly saw a green-haired kid in the distant corner holding a high-energy sniper rifle, his body painted with various fluorescent graffiti, looking like a clown.

How did such a green-haired thug appear inside the base?

However, at the same time.

All of their returning warplanes and spaceships were suddenly controlled, the cockpits swiftly sealed, and then, without any warning, they took off again, opening their weapons systems. Multiple cannon muzzles suddenly aimed at them, with the main guns beginning to charge energy.

"Enemy attack, prepare to dodge," a level five genetic warrior quickly realized, shouting in panic.

But in the next moment.

Multiple energy beams simultaneously soared towards them.

All the base’s super-energy beam cannons fired at once, blasting their way over here.

At the same time, from all directions, multicolored thugs appeared; they were all genetic warriors, but now each one was holding a super-energy sniper rifle, super-energy rifles, shooting towards them.

Not only that, but all the base’s defensive systems were fully activated, with countless attacks targeting them.

"Damn it, the base has been occupied by the resistance... Hughes, you damn traitor, daring to betray the Genetic Federation," base commander Da Jin roared in anger, now understanding everything that was happening before his eyes.

"I have never been with the Genetic Federation, base commander. Let’s get reacquainted, my name is Hughes, one of the leaders of the resistance," Hughes said with a smile, while his liquid metal battle armor activated, immediately covering his entire body, then he slowly drew the combat knife he had prepared at his waist.

"Resistance? You vile creature, I will kill you," Da Jin’s eyes shrank upon hearing this, his face suddenly twisted savagely, his uniform turned into a pool of liquid metal writhing, also forming a suit of battle armor, while the combat energy gauntlets on his hands were revealed. His entire person slowly lifted off the ground, surrounded by howling gusts of wind.

An energy beam came at him, an attack that could easily penetrate a level five genetic warrior, but now it was effortlessly blocked by Da Jin’s battle armor, causing no harm to him.

"The latest generation of liquid metal battle armor?" Hughes’s mouth twitched at the sight.

The last strike was from a super-energy sniper rifle, a weapon capable of killing a level six genetic warrior, yet it was blocked by the battle armor without sustaining any damage.

To take him down, only the Thunder Fighter’s main cannon charged shot had any chance.
