Chapter 47 Forty-Seven Seconds

Forty-seven seconds wasn't a long time, but for Feng Bujue, it was enough time to do many things…

Five seconds later, Brother Jue cleanly severed Dr. Cox's right hand with the Must-Break Defense Blade. Then, he picked up the bloody hand and rushed towards the elevator at an astonishing speed.

[All electronic doors and elevator buttons in this facility require fingerprint access from Foundation personnel to function normally.]

The "system" knew that Feng Bujue didn't need a map or directions to get back to the elevator, so...it directly began to state the things he needed to be aware of.

"What if they use remote control to stop the elevator after I get in?" Feng Bujue thought to himself as he ran.

[Damage the top of the elevator and use Moonwalk to reach the fourth floor.]

"Isn't there a staircase here?" Brother Jue immediately asked.

[There are no staircases in this building, but there are six elevators that can travel up and down. You are currently using the one closest to you.]

"Why not break through the ceiling or floor to traverse the floors?" Feng Bujue asked this question as he arrived at the elevator door and pressed the button next to the door with the doctor's finger.

Ding—

One second later, the elevator door opened.

It seemed...after Brother Jue and the others left, the elevator had remained on this floor without moving.

Before the door was fully open, Feng Bujue flashed inside and raised (the doctor's) hand to press the "4F" and "Close Door" buttons.

[There are thick defensive walls between the floors. These defensive walls are made of a special strong alloy unique to this world, making them difficult to break through.] The system's response couldn't keep up with Brother Jue's actions.

"So...if I want to move between floors, I have to use the elevator, or the vertical passage where the elevator is located..." Feng Bujue said.

[Yes.]

Bang—

The system had just finished those two words when the elevator stopped; undoubtedly...it had been stopped by remote control.

Although Feng Bujue did arrive here within 47 seconds, he was still under surveillance, so this situation wasn't unexpected.

[There is no safety hatch on the top of the elevator car.]

So, the system gave a new prompt.

"Understood..." Feng Bujue naturally knew what this sentence meant. He immediately performed a beautiful backflip and kicked upwards with a Lan Jiao (Storm Leg).

The azure blue Dou Qi (Fighting Energy) slash easily tore through the metal plate above Brother Jue's head, but the shape of the opening was narrow and irregular, not large enough for a person to pass through.

"It's more durable than I thought..." Brother Jue muttered as he looked at the opening.

Obviously, according to his initial plan, he should have been able to kick out an opening large enough for a person to pass through, but the actual situation differed somewhat from his prediction.

"But...it's still within an acceptable range." In the next second, Brother Jue twisted his body and flipped, kicking out again.

The shockwave from this second kick was about thirty percent stronger than before, successfully widening the space next to the previous opening by several tens of centimeters.

[Moonwalk, ascending 31.7 meters.]

"The height of five floors is actually more than thirty meters..." Feng Bujue said, but his movements didn't stop.

Before the words were finished, he had already leaped up, flying out of the opening in the top of the elevator like a cannonball, ascending straight upwards.

[The height of each floor in this building is different. Among them, the first floor underground and the third floor above ground both have large containment rooms, so their height far exceeds other floors; while the areas with normal height on these two floors are filled with hidden spaces or thickened defensive walls above and below.]

In the process of the system responding, Feng Bujue had already risen to the height of the fourth floor and used the effect of Ta Xu (Stepping on Emptiness) to float in mid-air.

"How should I deal with the door ahead?" The next question from Brother Jue actually had another way of asking it, which was—"Should I tear this one open too?"

[Pry it open to both sides with no less than eighty kilograms of force.] The system's response indicated that he didn't need to do that.

Upon hearing this, Feng Bujue immediately put Dr. Cox's right hand into his upper衣pocket, and then stepped forward to pry open the door.

A mere eighty kilograms of pressure was nothing to him at the moment. With the physical fitness of a level 50 player, even lifting a hundred kilograms with one hand would be no problem.

Squeak—crack crack crack—

Soon, the elevator gate on this floor was easily pushed open by his brute force.

After Feng Bujue stepped onto the ground on the fourth floor, he took out the doctor's right hand again without saying a word and found a "touch screen area" to search for the map.

[I can guide you.] The system said at this moment.

"No need." But Feng Bujue refused the system. Even in this situation, he was still unwilling to blindly follow the prompts. "You tell me which room I need to go to, and then hurry up and explain to me how to extract the nanobots."

His proposal was indeed very reasonable. Anyway, he could look at the map now, but the operating procedure for extracting the robots had to be told to him by someone else.

[Your target location is Operations Room 416.] The system didn't waste any words and immediately did as Brother Jue said, [There are four ways to extract the nanobots. Combining your specific situation, the fastest way to deal with it without risking your life is: use the special magnetic field generator in the operations room to directly suck the nanobots out of your body.]

"So, that's equivalent to..." Feng Bujue browsed and memorized the map in front of him while absentmindedly continuing, "Having metal embedded inside your body...and then going for an MRI?"

[Similar, but the volume of the nanobots is at the molecular level, so it won't cause excessive trauma during extraction.]

"It won't cause 'excessive' trauma, which means...there will still be trauma." Feng Bujue added.

[Your retina and eardrums will be damaged during extraction.] The system continued, [It is recommended that you prepare "Qi Xu Ru Lin (As Still as the Forest)" in advance, so as to repair the damaged parts and restore vision and hearing as soon as possible.]

"Understood." Brother Jue replied and turned to leave.

During the dozen or so seconds he had been communicating with the system, he had already memorized the entire map of the fourth floor with divided attention. Therefore, he started running at this moment.

[Attention, after continuing forward for five seconds, two guards will appear at your nine o'clock direction, about four meters away.]

After hearing the words "five seconds," Feng Bujue had already guessed what the system was going to say in the second half of the sentence; in that instant, he almost instinctively sacrificed a psychic weapon...and when he heard the words "four meters away," two playing cards flashing with black light had already been thrown out, flying towards the corner ahead on their own initiative...

In the past, the Death Poker's effect, Xun Ling (Spirit Seeking) (the psychic weapon will always fly towards the target the master wants to attack), already had the effect of attacking targets outside the line of sight; and now the Crazy Poker's effect, Mo Dong (Demonic Motion) (the attack speed and hit rate of the Crazy Poker are extremely amazing, so its license has been revoked), as an enhanced version of this move, was even better in both hit rate and speed.

"Ah—"

"Ugh—"

When Feng Bujue ran past the岔road, he didn't even turn his head; the two screams that came from his ear...had already announced that his attack had hit.

[Four seconds later, three o'clock direction, three people.]

Immediately afterwards, the system came again, this time the content was more concise and to the point, and Brother Jue also understood it.

Chi chi chi—

Half a second later, three black lights, bringing out three sharp sounds of breaking wind, once again solved the enemies ahead who had not yet appeared in advance.

At this moment, the staff in the monitoring room in the right half of the base had fallen into panic...

They couldn't hear the "system voice," so they couldn't understand how Brother Jue could do this kind of "predictive attack" at all.

At least...from the visual and auditory signals they received, Feng Bujue was launching attacks in a state where he had "not seen or heard any signs."

[Fifteen seconds, twelve o'clock direction, four people have been ambushed on both sides of the intersection.]

On the other hand, in the corridor on the fourth floor of the left half of the area, Feng Bujue was still moving forward, and the system's prompts had not stopped.

The two of them were like skilled old drivers and excellent navigation systems...they could be described as cooperating seamlessly and being unstoppable.

[The forces originally ambushed on the third floor have arrived on this floor through other elevators, a total of twenty-five people, and are currently moving towards your destination.]

"Are they those fully armed assault troops?" Feng Bujue said, "What is the approximate difference in combat power between them and the guards?"

[The Foundation in this plane has a certain difference in personnel structure from the Foundation you know. Those "assault troops" are a force mixed from ordinary facility security personnel and mobile task forces. All personnel have very solid combat experience and equipment.]

"But..." Feng Bujue continued, "They still can't pose a threat to me."

[The point is not whether you can kill them, but the consequences that will be triggered after killing them.] The system continued, [If you kill this team or show an uncontrollable nature that makes them completely helpless, then the "site director" of this base will immediately call for external reinforcements.]

"Um..." Feng Bujue understood as soon as he heard this. He responded in his heart, "In that case, the information about ***-3232 posing a substantial threat will also be transmitted..."

[Even now, the information may be transmitted at any time.] The system added, [Therefore, you must continue to attract their attention, but before cutting off the base's connection with the outside world, you must neither be caught nor defeat the assault team.]

"It's really full of difficulties..." Brother Jue muttered and quickened his pace again.

[Turn right ahead, there are already ten guards in the corridor outside the operations room door, it is recommended to use Lan Jiao (Storm Leg).]

"Hmph...you don't need to prompt me to this point." Feng Bujue said, flashed out of the corner, and kicked.

In an instant, fighting energy appeared, and a storm swept through.

This kick tore cracks in the metal walls on both sides of the corridor, and the guards standing in the corridor were all cut in half at the waist without any reaction.

For a time, wailing filled the corridor, and blood and filth covered the ground.

Feng Bujue didn't hesitate or stop at all. He stepped on the blood and spilled intestines with a blank expression, and came to the door of Operations Room 416 at the fastest speed.

Buzz buzz buzz—

Three seconds later, he used Dr. Cox's fingerprint to pass the access control scan and entered the door without stopping for a moment.

[The instrument is...]

"I see it." After entering the room, Feng Bujue immediately saw which device he needed to use. He interrupted the "system's" words at an extremely fast pace and walked towards the operating台 next to the instrument.

[Dial the four switches in the upper right corner and the two switches at both ends in the lower left corner upwards, keep the others unchanged; enter w7831n in the box in the center, and then press the red button; then, enter the start seconds on the numeric keys, and lie down on the magnetic field generator before the countdown ends.]

The system didn't say any nonsense. Based on Brother Jue's actions, it immediately gave a new set of instructions.

Feng Bujue listened while completing the operation. By the time the system finished speaking, he was already holding Qi Xu Ru Lin (As Still as the Forest) and lying sideways on the metal platform of the instrument terminal.

Tzzt tzzt tzzt…

The startup time set by Feng Bujue was only three seconds, so as soon as he lay down, the "special magnetic field generator" started running.

The principle of this equipment is actually not complicated. It can generate various magnetic fields that only work on "a certain metal" according to the needs of the user.

At the moment, Brother Jue naturally chose the mode that only worked on the nanobots in his body.

Although he didn't know what material those robots were made of, it didn't matter—anyway, the system had already given the specific startup method.

Pfft—

The moment the magnetic field was generated, Feng Bujue's eyes suddenly spurted blood, and two wounds also burst out from the inside out at the temples on both sides of his head.

The splattered blood quickly turned black in the air and condensed into some rust-like substances, which firmly adhered to the metal panel on the upper end of the magnetic field generator.

And Feng Bujue remained silent under such severe pain, his face expressionless.

To be honest...faced with this level of pain, it would be perfectly normal for him to scream hoarsely.

But, he just didn't want to shout.

Because...he was in a bad mood at the moment,

Very bad.

[You can use the orb now.] Two seconds later, the system voice prompted again.

This was a sound directly transmitted to the brain, so even if Brother Jue's eardrums had been damaged, he could still hear it.

"Next is to cut off communications?" While activating the orb, Feng Bujue flipped over and immediately asked in his heart.

[Immediately attack the corridor wall directly in front after opening the door.] The system didn't answer his question, but gave the next instruction.

At this time, Feng Bujue had just opened the door and instantly understood why the system hadn't answered the question...

"Raise your hands!"

As soon as the electronic door opened, a loud shout entered Brother Jue's ears; at the same second, the buzzing sound of dozens of light guns charging up simultaneously sounded in the corridors on both sides of the door.

"What's on the other side of the wall?" In this critical situation, Feng Bujue remained calm and wanted to ask clearly before taking action.

And the system's answer was simple and clear—[***-426].
