Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 103 Codename: Operation Moth
"——The entire Three-Phase Base Project is essentially a macro-biological experiment using two-thirds of the Deep Moss Area as a 'petri dish' to dump products and obtain experimental data."

In front of the large display screen, Alnan looked serious.

"According to our intelligence, Jade Pharmaceuticals conducted targeted pre-experiments in several areas a year ago. These huge amounts of data need to be aggregated and placed in a 'host framework' for continuous calculation."

As he spoke, the picture on the display changed, and Palose's bird's-eye view lit up. Then the bird's-eye view suddenly expanded, and the field of vision fell on a location in the Rota area.

"The Palose First Medical Research Institute is a comprehensive medical research institute wholly owned by Emerald Pharmaceuticals. It gathers the best doctors, researchers, and equipment in Palose. Having worked here is enough to pass the entry test of a medium-sized hospital without taking an exam and enter the interview stage directly."

The scene switched again, and interview photos of the institute opening to the public appeared. Most of the institute staff were in a hurry, shuttling back and forth in the bright and clean, almost honeycomb-like building.

"Yes, Hive."

Alnan nodded.

In the upper right corner of the display screen, two external cameras lit up blue light at the same time, and a three-dimensional projection rose up, which was a honeycomb-like three-dimensional structure model of the entire research institute - but the part of the institute located underground was obviously blurred.

The man pointed downward.

"The mainframe computing array of the Three-Phase Base Project is located here."

At this moment, everyone in the living room is present, including the expressionless middle-aged man "Shovel", the "Fighter" wrapped in a heavy exoskeleton, the "Birdeye" Juniper, and Tabitha, the mechanic responsible for the maintenance of prosthetics and other equipment.

Of course, there are more than just these few enlighteners in Palose.

It was just a heavy blow a year ago - to be precise, a year ago, due to the betrayal of a former core cadre, a large amount of intelligence and information was leaked, causing the Enlightened to suffer a serious blow, and has not yet fully recovered.

Commander Cornelia Campbell died in battle while covering the escape of her crew members.

At that time, Arnan, who was originally a tactical analyst and urgently took over the position of "commander", issued an order for all members to go into hiding. In the following days, he slowly built a new secret contact network, reviewed members, stabilized the internal situation of the Enlightened, and rebuilt funding channels.

To this day, Alnan is still in charge of doing these things and has achieved a lot of results.

However, due to the failure to fully recover and betrayal by traitors, the Enlightened members of Palose are currently distributed independently. From individual members to the various teams, most of the communication must be transferred through "Arnan".

However, as the strongest force of the Palose Enlighteners, Arnan and the First Action Team, who are based on "going along with the flow", are indeed qualified to serve as the "command center."

"Commander, our goal is to attack here?"

Quemu hesitated for a moment and said cautiously: "The defense of the First Research Institute is very strong. Once they react and switch to positional warfare, it will be very troublesome for us to continue to attack or retreat."

".No."

Iron Shovel stared at the three-dimensional projection and spoke slowly: "We can't confront Jade Pharmaceuticals head-on, and we will never be the main force to stop the Three-Phase Base Project."

He looked at Alnan: "Alnan, our goal is just to get in here and make the evidence in the host public?"

"There's no need to make it public." Flash Star narrowed his eyes. "We just need to use the host to prove that the 'Three-Phase Base Project' is indeed possible, and the Science Ethics Committee will have enough evidence to intervene in the investigation."

"Enter the basement of the institute, take out some of the data from the mainframe, and publish it or hand it over to the Scientific Ethics Committee."

Tabitha concluded, her hands pressed in front of her.

The Enlightened Mechanic had replaced both of her hands with industrial prosthetics, barely maintaining a bionic appearance, and at first glance they looked like two dark iron arms. Her upper body was wrapped in a large bandage around her chest, and she was wearing a colorful graffiti jacket, sitting on the sofa.

"."

The "Fighter" said nothing. He stood silently by the side like a tall iron tower. With a mass of nearly half a ton, he would probably be completely crushed the moment he sat on the sofa.

But this heavy exoskeleton armor obviously brings more than just "quality", it also has the most powerful firepower and defense among the entire Palose Enlightened.

A precious "micro-nuclear fusion engine" placed on the chest serves as the energy core, supporting the thick armor plate and all-alloy power frame, and can even deploy a "repulsive field" to block most conventional kinetic weapons. In addition to the honeycomb rocket launcher and backpack-mounted heavy machine gun, the main weapon is the electric halberd with a thousand-degree high-temperature plasma flow as the "halberd blade" connected to the exoskeleton through pipelines, which is enough to easily break through conventional protective measures.

As exoskeleton armor, Dennis's "Light Cone" is weaker than the fighter in all aspects except mobility and long-range firepower. Once the two sides are dragged into close combat, the former will be easily torn apart - of course, how to approach the former and force it into close combat is another problem.

But there is no doubt that the "Fighter" is the best among the three-level units and a powerful frontal attacker.

To a certain extent, because of the life-support device, this exoskeleton armor is the implanted prosthesis of the "fighter", and the two have long been inseparable.

"It sounds like a special infiltration mission this time."

Harold pondered for a moment: "But the core areas of the institute are all located in the intranet, and the remote support of Flash Star will be greatly disrupted."

"But this is our greatest advantage." He paused.

"We only have one chance. If we fail this time, the 'Three-Phase Base Plan' will never be exposed again."

Song Shi raised his head and looked at Alnan: "I don't mind the bet, but Alnan, you don't look like someone who would put everything on the line and hope for a big bet."

"——Apart from 'special infiltration', what is the backup plan?"

"Head-on attack."

Arnan nodded: "Harold, you are responsible for sneaking into the research institute in advance... Song Shi, I would like to ask you to sneak in with me, is that okay?"

"For something like this, of course I have to go there in person."

Song Shi pressed his knuckles.

Even without talking about the ritual requirements of [Burning Blood], just considering the matter itself, there is no need for me to refuse.

How can one forge a well-tempered weapon without going through any so-called "adventures"?

Hearing this, the man nodded and said:
"The rest of the Enlightened Ones will arrive in batches twelve miles outside the institute. After you sneak in, they will launch a frontal attack on the institute, creating chaos and giving you more opportunities."

".Arnan."

Tieshao's eyes changed slightly: "This is too risky. You should understand how seriously the institute takes it. Once you launch a frontal attack, the Security Bureau and Jade Pharmaceuticals will rush out in droves and rush towards the institute. This will send others to their deaths."

"First, they are just feinting and won't go too deep. As long as they are sure to obtain data or the casualties exceed a certain level, they can retreat directly."

"Shovel, what we are about to do cannot completely avoid casualties. This is not a lone hero simulation movie. Someone will have to sacrifice in the end."

"All we have to do is make this sacrifice worthwhile."

There was no usual gentle smile on Arnan's face, instead there was pure calmness.

"Second, if we cannot prevent the official implementation of the Three-Phase Base Project, more people in Plosser will fall into the quagmire in the future, trapped in the petri dishes built by 'Emerald Pharmaceuticals' for life, as experimental subjects and tools to consume their excess productivity."

"We are the Enlightened Ones - we cannot sit back and let this happen!"

"But you are right, Tiesho. Emerald Pharmaceutical's armed forces and the Security Bureau's mobile special police cannot be ignored."

Alnan looked around at everyone, paused, and said slowly:

"So, I will lead another group of Enlightened Ones before you and be responsible for attracting the attention of the entire Palose."

"Code name, Operation Moth."
