Reborn as the Darling of the Delta

Page 95

After pondering for a while, Demulan said that his Relink brain-computer interface was starting to overheat, so he decided to give up for now. He asked Rometheus to send someone to take Audrey back to the Tower of Babel to analyze what the toxin that caused her death was. He also sealed off the scene for now, saying that he would definitely have new findings next time he came.

"Sigh, another day wasted. It's because of you constantly telling me what to do that that my Relink brain-computer interface launch has been delayed."

After watching Black Hawk and his crew wrap up Audrey and carry her onto the helicopter, Rometheus told Demulan that if there was another incident like this, he shouldn't bother him; he should go find that idle Robert instead.

Rometheus: Damn it, have I been forced to be a corporate slave again for another day? How awful!

Chapter 219 Let's see what's behind you.

Meanwhile, on the night after Rometheus returned, Red Wolf arrived at the outskirts of the Tower of Babel with the small signal station that Mai Xiaowen had prepared for him.

"Is Xiao Hao in here? Damn it, Xiao Hao, wait for me! Next time I'll have Wei Long bring more magnetic bombs to blow this place up and rescue you!"

Red Wolf gave Babel a deep look. The thought of their special operations unit's precious treasure being tortured inside Babel made him want to take out his hand cannon and fire a few shots at Babel and its managers.

Zhang Hao, who was still enjoying a feast up there, thought: "Ah! This is too much! I can't eat anymore, Uncle Rometheus."

Rometheus/Ella: Hey! You can still eat? Kids need to eat more to grow tall. Look at you, you're not even as tall as the two of us.

Zhang Hao: Waaaaah, Uncle Shenlan, come save me! The food is too good and too much, I can't eat anymore! (〒▽〒)

"Hey, Red Wolf, where are you now?"

At this moment, Mai Xiaowen's voice came through Red Wolf's earpiece. Although there was no real-time map, Mai Xiaowen was still able to take over the command of this mission based on the map that Wuming had previously transmitted to them.

"I've reached the outer perimeter of the Tower of Babel, but where did that nameless guy go?"

Red Wolf glanced around furtively and saw that apart from the patrolling soldiers, he couldn't even see a shadow of the person called Nameless.

"Then take a look behind you."

At that moment, a deep male voice drifted from behind Red Wolf.

"Nani...?"

Mai Xiaowen, far away in the Special Operations Department: Uh..........⊙﹏⊙∥

"You're Nameless? How did you get behind me? I clearly saw no one around here before?"

Red Wolf stared in disbelief at the nameless man who had pulled out a K437 from behind him. He had carefully observed the surroundings beforehand, but he never expected that the man could sneak up behind him so silently. This ability was truly monstrous, comparable to Mai Xiaowen's.

Mai Xiaowen: Damn! How did this get me involved? I just silently caught Xiao Hao Hao who wouldn't sleep at night, didn't I? ヽ(*。＞Д＜)o゜

Red Wolf: Now that you've taken the phone, can you leave Xiao Hao alone?

Mai Xiaowen: You're overthinking it. To prevent Xiao Hao from sneaking up to play on the computer after I leave, as his most responsible and loving older sister, I have to make sure he falls asleep peacefully in my arms. (????)

"Talent, let's go, let's get this sorted out quickly."

After speaking casually, Wuming began to lead the way, leaving only a red wolf lost in thought.

"Oh?! Dead Man Bro? We're missing a cool guy like Wei Long and Roy. Next time we should have Wei Long come. He loves cool guys like this the most."

If Nameless hadn't already walked some distance away, and if he had heard Red Wolf's mutterings behind his back, he probably would have been given a flashbang.

"How do you plan to get around so many guards?"

After Red Wolf caught up, he asked Nameless, "This kind of infiltration work is usually done by Luna and Mai Xiaowen. I'm not really familiar with this kind of thing. I prefer to just say 'Hua Lai'!" and then start cleaning up the battlefield.

Does your gun have a silencer?

"Huh? No."

Nameless shook his head helplessly, took out a silencer from behind his back and tossed it to Red Wolf, saying calmly:

"With so many people, how are you going to sneak in besides killing them? And for a mission like this, you don't even bring a silencer. Let me see what kind of gun it is. Thank goodness it's an M4. If it were an AK, you could have gone back by yourself."

Red Wolf silently wiped imaginary sweat from his brow. He'd only refrained from bringing his own AK this time because he wanted to get it serviced; otherwise, it really would have been a real AK...

"Let's go, be careful not to cause any big commotion."

The two took advantage of the darkness to begin their operation. It was already quite late, and even the night owl Zhang Hao was yawning and preparing to go back to his room to sleep, but Rometheus, who was looking excited, still held him back and wouldn't let him leave.

"Xiao Hao, don't go yet, let's play one more round, just one more round. I refuse to believe that I, a dignified PhD, would be defeated by such a simple game as Dou Dizhu."

Zhang Hao chuckled to himself after hearing this. "Brother, what are you thinking? You've endured so many beatings to become a master! Do you really think the cheating techniques Roy taught you were just a joke? Aside from Xiaowen forcibly banning your cheating skills, you're already invincible!"

Zhang Hao: Waaaaah, brothers, I've finally made it! I've finally made it through!

Ella yawned to the side, speechless as she watched the excited Rometheus. His sleep schedule was usually completely random, so it didn't matter whether he slept or not, but she and Xiao Hao needed to sleep. He was really... terrible at it and loved to play.

"This is the last round. Win or lose, you have to let Xiaohao and me go back to sleep."

After warning Rometheus, Ella reluctantly let Zhang Hao reveal the cards. Her teacher hadn't been this happy in a long time, and as the student who doted on her teacher the most in the world, she would indulge him this one more time. It seemed she needed to find [Zero] soon so that this tireless father and son could have some fun and stop torturing her.

At this moment, the computer behind Rometheus beeped. Rometheus turned around impatiently and saw two small red dots on the screen. He then pulled up the surveillance footage of that area and started showing it to Zhang Hao and Ella.

"Who are they? Attacking the Tower of Babel so late at night?"

Ella looked at Rometheus, who was checking the surveillance footage, and asked, "I didn't expect anyone to actually dare to come to the Tower of Babel. Do they really think they're something special?" Besides, her place is different from Demulan's space base. She only has the Tower of Babel, so any disturbance here will be detected immediately.

"Huh? Isn't that...?"

The sharp-eyed Zhang Hao immediately spotted Red Wolf on the surveillance footage, and with him... was Nameless?!

"What's wrong, Xiao Hao? Do you know this person?"

Rometheus realized that Zhang Hao seemed to know the person in the surveillance footage. Since Black Hawk had only taken photos of Wei Long and Zhang Hao together last time, Rometheus didn't know Red Wolf's identity. But the person next to Red Wolf... Rometheus felt quite familiar with him.

"Um... Uncle Rometheus, could you please not kill me later? He's my uncle. If possible, could you have someone pass on a message to me saying that I'm safe here? He's probably worried that I'm going to come looking for me."

Zhang Hao quickly said to Rometheus, "Don't let anything go wrong. By the way, why is Uncle Red Wolf with Nameless?"

Red Wolf: Huh? I feel a chill down my spine. Is someone watching me? Never mind, I need to finish this quickly and get back. This place is a bit eerie!

Chapter 220 Huh?

Meanwhile, Rometheus was also feeling a headache coming on. Why was this nameless guy showing up again? Hadn't he told him that Zoya could dismantle his Relink brain-computer interface? Was it really worth taking such a big risk to come to him? Could it be... reputation?

Anonymous/Red Wolf: Wow, I didn't expect there to be two incredibly imaginative people inside the Tower of Babel!

"Well... alright, since it's Xiao Hao's request, I naturally have to agree. Black Hawk, never mind, Ella, you can do me a favor and give Black Hawk a command, thanks!"

Rometheus successfully earned one eye roll from Ella. She also knew Wuming. Although she wasn't there when Rometheus installed the Relink brain-computer interface for her, she still asked Rometheus for photos and had seen them. Rometheus is such a hypocrite.

Meanwhile, the two exceptional "lurkers" beneath the Tower of Babel were unaware that they had been exposed and continued to advance rapidly toward the information station.

After dealing with the guards and patrols along the way, the two arrived at the information station in front of the Tower of Babel.

"Phew! This went really smoothly. I really don't know why Mai Xiaowen told me before that these kinds of infiltration missions were very difficult. Is this all?"

"You'd better shut up. Even I, from the Special Operations Department, don't know what the situation is like over there. Hurry up and finish your work and come back. The longer you stay there, the more dangerous it will be."

"Okay, I'll get it done right away!"

Red Wolf also took out the small signal station connected to their special operations unit from his backpack and followed Nameless inside.

Seeing the nameless man walking ahead with practiced ease, Red Wolf asked in confusion:

"Why do you seem so familiar with this place? Is this the one we're supposed to destroy?"

Red Wolf followed Nameless and found their target.

"I... stayed here for a while before. I won't say anymore. Let's hurry up and install it to destroy it. It's time to retreat. They should have realized something was wrong by now."

Rometheus: No, kid, I actually noticed a while ago. I even watched you two run to the information station with Xiao Hao. Although I don't know what you're up to, it seems you're in trouble! I had no choice!

Rometheus looked at the text message Richard sent and sighed helplessly. He hoped that with his leniency, they could escape successfully, since Richard was currently very angry.

Meanwhile, on Richard's side, at the same time the alarm sounded on Rometheus's side, he also received the synchronized message immediately. This was because when Rometheus couldn't find the nameless one's whereabouts and saw Richard's dead state, out of respect for Richard being his superior, Rometheus granted Richard some access to the brain-computer interface and the ability to influence the nameless one's Relink brain-computer interface.

Rometheus: Hehe, Nameless, don't blame me. Who would have thought that you would come back after you had already run away?

Richard's old face was contorted with rage as he stared at the red dot on the screen, thinking about how his Mandel supercomputing unit had been stolen by this brat. He still didn't know how to explain it to Mr. Jacob.

"You little brat, you're going to die, Rometheus. Where are the troops you sent? I can't wait to teach this little bastard a lesson."

Rometheus rubbed his eyes, pretending to be very tired, and said:

"Ha~ Mr. Richard, you can proceed at any time. My team has already headed to where Nameless is. But I must say, Nameless is accompanied by someone this time, so the operation may not go so smoothly."

"Hmph, one person can wipe out a squad? If he's Superman, I'll accept it."

Rometheus: Oh? You admit it? You said it yourself, it has nothing to do with me. (●ˇ?ˇ●)

As Richard pressed the start button, Red Wolf had already installed the small information station. Looking at the information station that was exactly the same as the others, Red Wolf couldn't help but give Mai Xiaowen a thumbs up for her craftsmanship.

"You've ruined it, now that you're done, let's call it a day."

Seeing this, Nameless also raised his gun and destroyed the information station. Just as the two were preparing to retreat, Red Wolf watched helplessly as Nameless clutched his head and collapsed in front of him.

Red Wolf: WTF, what's going on? This... this shouldn't be something I did, right?

"Nameless, what's wrong? What happened?"

But at this moment, Wuming felt as if his head was about to explode, and a whisper like a demon echoed in his mind.

"It's not that the Hafk Group needs your namelessness, but that you need Hafk. Quickly return my Mandel supercomputing unit to me, and I might spare your life."

At that moment, a lot of footsteps came from outside. Red Wolf thought to himself that he was in trouble and had fallen into the enemy's trap.

Rometheus: No, there wasn't originally, but you two... the Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix are really... making it impossible for me to slack off!

"Go... hurry up and go!"

Before he could faint, Wuming hurriedly uttered his last three words to Red Wolf.

Red Wolf: Bro, I want to run too, but what's the point of saying this now? Do you think we're filming a TV drama?

As the footsteps drew closer, reaching the entrance of the information station, Red Wolf had already carried the nameless man, who was no longer capable of fighting, on his back. After equipping him with a hand cannon, he prepared to go straight for the people outside!

"Red Wolf, here's a letter from Zhang Hao. Come and get it. Also... shoot me a few times."

Red Wolf: Huh? ? ? ? ? Did I hear that right?

But Red Wolf wouldn't believe what the other side said so easily. He was a man who had experienced countless wars, and such a low-level trick wouldn't fool him.

“Bring it in by yourself.”

Red Wolf thought that after he said that, the other side would probably launch a massive attack, but to his surprise, one of the people on the other side actually walked in after hearing what he said, and Red Wolf kept his gun pointed at him.

Following instructions, Black Hawk brought the letter written by Zhang Hao straight to Red Wolf and shoved it into his hands.

"Take this. Zhang Hao said to take it back to show that guy named Shenlan."

Red Wolf: Huh? Is the other side out of their mind? They're not going to mess with me?

“Shoot me a few times, then leave. Don’t bring this guy with you next time. If he wakes up, remember to tell him he owes someone a favor.”

After saying that, Black Hawk spread his arms, signaling Red Wolf to shoot him.

Red Wolf: 666, so this is the power of capital? How did I manage to escape?

Chapter 221 Exoskeleton Escape

"Then...then I'll shoot."

"Okay, come on, I'm ready."

Mai Xiaowen on the other end of the walkie-talkie: ? ? ? ? ? ?

Red Wolf deliberately drew his pistol from his waist, glanced at the expressionless Black Hawk, and fired several shots.

"Then I'm leaving."

Red Wolf stared blankly at Black Hawk, who seemed completely unharmed, and couldn't help but complain inwardly, "What is this Hafk researching all day? Can't he at least give me some feedback after being shot?"

Black Hawk didn't waste any words and went straight out the door, starting to fire at the legs of the soldiers standing at the entrance. This action left Red Wolf dumbfounded.

"Hey! Red Wolf, what's going on over there? Why is the sound so intermittent, and... and you even said you were going to shoot something... shameless."

"Damn, I almost died here. Okay, stop talking. I'll take Wuming back right now. It's too complicated to explain to you in a short time."

Red Wolf didn't want to argue with Mai Xiaowen any longer, so he simply slung Wuming over his shoulder, shouted "Exoskeleton activated!" and rushed outside, even professionally sealing a cigarette when he reached the door.

"Let's go, let's go! This place is too scary! Waaah! Xiao Hao, next time I'll bring more people to rescue you. How can people here catch bullets with such a straight face?!"

Red Wolf was also frightened by the Blue Eagle Squad. This was the first time he had observed them up close. They were all well-equipped and expressionless, just like robots... They really did seem like robots. How could anyone be shot and not react at all?

With the help of the exoskeleton, Red Wolf quickly led Nameless out of the Tower of Babel and ran towards the all-terrain vehicle they had previously hidden.

Meanwhile, Black Hawk, after finishing his shooting, silently lay down with the soldiers. The ground was covered in blood. Rometheus, seeing this on the monitor, quickly took out his phone, snapped a picture of the scene, and sent it to Richard, along with an urgent voice message.
