The Red Dragon Emperor From Douluo

#384-Chapter 384

Kikuoka’s black-rimmed glasses reflect the light from the ceiling lighting, so his expression cannot be seen from Higa’s position.

But this judo and kendo should be a black belt cadre self-defense officer, but he seemed to be shocked by what Ming Hina said.

He swallowed a big mouthful of water and raised his hands to the left and right of his face to express surrender.

“I know, I will take the responsibility and I will definitely let Kirito-kun recover.”

Finally, Ming Hina released her right hand silently. The liberated Kikuoka exhaled a long breath as if he was almost sitting on the floor, Ming Hina also stepped back weakly. Rinko immediately hurriedly rushed to support Ming Hina’s back.

“Don’t worry, it will be fine. Kirito-kun will definitely come back to you”

“…Well, I definitely will. I’m sorry…I was confused for a while.”

The sound of manually opening the automatic door made the once-relieved air tense again. The one who rushed into the room was the first-class Marine Lieutenant Zhongxi.

“Report! It has been confirmed that the first and second pressure barriers are completely closed, and all non-combatants have also retreated to the bow block!”

“Kikuoka walked forward while adjusting the collar of his Hawaiian shirt, then nodded: “Thank you. How long can the partition last? ”

“Yes……

Although it depends on what equipment those guys bring, but the partition cannot be destroyed with light weapons. It would take at least eight hours to cut with tools such as circular saws. Of course, there is also the possibility of using explosives to destroy…

But they shouldn’t do it. Because near the central partition…”

“There is a LightCubeCluster.

…Okay, let’s sort out the situation. Lieutenant Nakanishi, please report the casualties. ”

“Yes. Three researchers from the private project team suffered minor injuries and are currently receiving treatment in the infirmary at the bow of the ship. The Self-Defense Force fighters were seriously injured and two slightly injured. They are also undergoing treatment, but there is currently no life-threatening condition. There are six personnel capable of fighting, including the two with minor injuries.”

“Under such a powerful fire attack, the absence of a dead person can only be said to be a fluke… Then, report the damage to the hull next.”

“The control room at the bottom of the dock is already riddled with holes. It is impossible to close it from a distance.

Although the passage from the dock to the main control room is the same, it should only be considered minor damage.

The serious thing is that the main power cable is cut… Although the power itself is stably supplied from the secondary cable, the propeller will not operate unless the control system is restarted. ”

“It’s like a turtle without fins, and is the abdomen bitten by a shark?”

“Yes. All blocks from No. 1 to No. 12 of the lower shaft and the ship’s bottom dock are all occupied.”

“Are the main control room, the first STL room, and the nuclear reactor all occupied? The unfortunate thing is that… the purpose of those guys is not to destroy.

The question now is…who are those guys…Higa, what do you think? ”

The topic was suddenly thrown on himself, and after Higa blinked several times, he finally allowed the brain that still had a shocking aftertaste to re-operate.

“Ah~ this, um…”

Higa Ken made a meaningless groan as he turned to the console, and then manipulated the mouse with his right hand to call the video footage of the surveillance camera inside the ship to the big screen on the front.

Although the opened video window was dark and unclear, he adjusted the brightness and contrast after pausing in an appropriate place. As a result, there were multiple figures moving in the passageway inside the ship in a posture of bending forward.

They wore all-black combat uniforms, the upper part of their faces was covered under helmets with multifunctional goggles, and they held threatening assault rifles in their hands.

“…As you can see on the screen, there is no national flag or identification mark on the head or body.

The color and shape of the equipment are not like the regular army of any country. The rifle in his hand looks like Steyr. This mass-produced firearm is quite common…

The only thing I know is that, judging from the average physique, they should not be Asian.

Another thing that can be confirmed… is that these guys know about the existence of ProjectAlicization. ”

Jugang nodded and said

“Well, it should be so right. Because after they broke in from the bottom dock, they rushed to the main control room without hesitation. Their purpose is to capture STL technology… No, it should be said to capture the real bottom-up Bottom-up artificial intelligence “ALICE”.”

“Fortunately, there is time to lock down the main control room. This will prevent them from directly manipulating the UnderWorld than physically destroying the console. Not only can they not intervene in the simulation, nor can they eject the light quantum cube that holds “Alice” from the cluster.”

Higa Ken breathed a sigh of relief, so that everyone’s research results and Kirito’s safety were guaranteed.

“But we can’t do it, too?” Ju Gang frowned.

“Yes. This sub-control room can’t operate with administrator’s authority either. Neither the main control nor the sub-controller can eject the light cube cluster of “Alice” through external operations.

But Boss Chrysanthemum… This means that we have already won, right? Those guys can’t get close to the cluster either in material or intelligence, and they only have to wait for the guarding Aegis ship to send reinforcements to invade again. Those guys are really cool. ”

Higaken said with a relaxed face.

“Although I don’t know what you mean by turning over your cool…but here is the problem.”

As Erzuo, Kikuoka was keenly aware of what the Asahi’s deviating course and mercenary attack were definitely not a coincidence. Considering that it could drive the self-defense ship, it is not impossible to have a high-level government behind the scenes.

“How about it, did “Asahi” take action?”

“Yes…about this…

The Fleet Command in Yokosuka issued an order to Asahi to keep the current distance on standby. The command seems to have judged that we were treated as hostages by the attackers. ”

“How come… what is a hostage? Didn’t all the crew on the ship retreat to the pressure barrier?” Higajian’s jaw collapsed.

“Those guys who are all in darkness, I’m afraid there is a communication channel with the upper level of the Self-Defense Force. Nagato was away from OceanTurtle at 8 o’clock this morning, six hours earlier than the time when those guys broke in. The upper level should wait for those guys to take away “Alice.” “After the Light Cube, the order to attack Nagato will be issued. Of course, there will still be a time limit…”

“In other words, those guys are not ordinary terrorists. That would be bad…If the other party also has an expert, maybe they will notice the secret technique of recovering Alice…”

“Do you operate from inside Underworld… Those guys control the first STL room, and you can also perform pop-up operations from the virtual console set in Underworld…”

“What will happen to that operation?”

Higa took action to answer Rinko’s question: “The target’s light cube will be taken out from the light cube cluster located in the center of the main axis, and then transported to any control room via an air pipe. There is also a takeout port there.”

He pointed his finger at the quadrangular window in the corner of the console table top, and then moved his gaze to the door set on the deep wall.

The aluminum alloy door is locked with a small metal plate with a screw. The words engraved on the sign are “Second STL Room”.

There are two STLs on the other side of the door ─ ─ “Soultranslator”. In one of them, a young man lay, and next to him was nurse Anqi and second-class Lu Cao.
