Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 68: Path - [Balance]

"It's too late to save him."

Carmen stumbled to the ground. Even her head was gone, but the wounds all over her body were still wriggling, and the tentacles of flesh and blood were trying to stick together and mend her body.

"His consciousness was forcibly usurped and has been shattered, and the Swamp Monster has caused irreversible changes to his body."

Looking at Harold, Song Shi shook his head slightly: "Now he is only relying on the 'Swamp Monster' which is still in effect to barely maintain his physiological state - there is no need to torture him like this."

".I see."

Looking at Carmen's horrible body, Harold was silent for a moment: "Fuck"

But he soon adjusted his mood.

"By the way, the armed forces of Emerald Pharmaceuticals are coming soon. We have taken over the surveillance of the vicinity and silenced the communications. What are your plans next? I suggest you retreat with us first."

"can."

"Um"

A beam of light suddenly lit up on the sea surface of the private port in the distance, and a man covered in a cloak appeared in a speedboat and then swung it to the dock.

"He's 'Fincheye', my teammate."

Harold gave a brief introduction.

Without saying anything else, he quickly placed a series of bombs at several key locations in this private port.

With one last look back at the burning private port, he and Song Shi jumped onto the speedboat and headed towards the darkness in the distance.

after an hour.

On the bank of a remote dam in Gaoge District, three figures emerged from the water and climbed ashore.

The speedboat was just to ensure they were far away from the scene, but it was impossible to ride it all the time as it would be too easy to trace.

So when they reached the sea, Harold set a bomb to sink the yacht, and they swam for more than half an hour to the shore - "Quemu" carried an extra set of spare underwater individual stealth equipment.

"We have scouted this place in advance. It's in a remote location and not crowded. It's safe for the time being. So buddy, shall we chat?"

Harold pointed around and looked at the other party.

"My code name is 'Impact' and his code name is 'Sparrow Eye'."

Then he scratched his head and sighed, "But I guess you've probably seen our wanted poster, which pretty much covers us up. My name is Harold, and this is Juniper - but if possible, please call us by our code names."

"Quemu", or Juniper, said nothing. He was covered in a cloak and his face could not be seen clearly. He was holding a sniper rifle wrapped in waterproof cloth in his arms and standing silently by the side.

"Free bounty hunter, 'Nandoo'."

Song Shi tapped Steel Crow lightly, but did not take off his mask.

Harold nodded, his expression becoming more serious. "Brother, we are part of the action team, and we are not authorized to disclose certain information. If you want to ask about the 'Three-Phase Base Plan' or something like that, I'm sorry, I'm not authorized to disclose it for the time being."

He hesitated for a moment, then added, "Well, one thing is certain. This is an important project that Emerald Pharmaceuticals has deployed in Palose."

——Important projects.

The first time Song Shi heard about the 'Three-Phase Base Plan', he tried to recall.

Then he could be sure that he had never heard of the name "Three-Phase Base Plan" in his previous life.

Either this is just a "regional incident", or the "news is strictly blocked", or "the project failed in its previous life".

Song Shi is more inclined to the first possibility.

"I have some understanding of the organizational structure of the Enlightened Ones. Well, I understand that they say 'no right to disclose', so -"

Song Shi said, "There are some things I want to talk to your commander about."

".You need to see the Commander."

"That's... OK. We welcome everyone who wants to cooperate or join us."

Hearing this, Harold and Juniper looked at each other, and the former nodded: "I'll give you a one-time communication link and notify you when the time comes."

Seeing the other party take out a mobile phone, Harold showed a surprised expression: "Uh, wait, you don't have a brain-computer interface implanted?" "Personal choice."

Song Shi answered casually.

"You're pretty fashionable, bro."

"So, you're planning to sabotage this project?"

"Ah."

Harold nodded. "According to the intelligence we have collected, this project is likely to cause large-scale casualties. We must stop it."

"Dude, it's quite nice chatting with you, but time is tight now, and we have to go back to appeal."

After a few more words, Harold stared at Song Shi with a smile, but his muscles were tense without making a sound: "So, let's talk about it next time we meet?"

So, the two sides left in two different directions.

"call"

Harold exhaled as he kept moving.

【Shock, what do you think?】

"The pressure was a bit high just now."

Harold rubbed his eyes. "It's mainly because we were too close. You saw it too. This Nandou chopped a Swamp Monster into sashimi! Quemu and I are not very good at close combat. It would have been very troublesome if we had started fighting just now."

[What if the battle is extended to medium and long distances? ]

"Well, that shouldn't be a problem."

Then he looked at Quemu who was standing beside him.

"Come to think of it, that guy is also a psychic, right? Quemu, did you see anything?"

".It shouldn't be the path of truth."

Quemu paused for a moment, and then spoke for the first time, his voice a little hoarse: "He doesn't give me a sense of familiarity, but this performance, I speculate is 'transcendence', 'great source' or 'balance'. But I am only the first level of 'truth', so this guess is likely to be inaccurate."

[It's probably not 'balance' either. ]

Flashstar's voice rang out over the communication channel.

[Although he did not show any psychic skills, you can just take it as my intuition.]

"A second ring 'balance'''s intuition about his own kind?"

Harold sighed: "Although I have said it many times, I still can't help but say that you 'psychics' are so unscientific!"

Quemu held the sniper rifle and said nothing.

[Are you envious? ]

"Hey! That's not the case!"

Harold chuckled and patted the two guns hanging on his waist: "Sparkling Star, just like you said, your [Balance] is to understand and adjust the 'laws of the world' and seek the 'balance of all things'. It is the most reasonable way."

"So your first-level psionic skills allow your body to maintain a 'steady state' and be less susceptible to external factors. The second-level psionic skills allow you to interfere with 'electromagnetic waves' to a certain extent and assist in network electronic warfare."

"It's really magical, and it's really amazing."

"Nothing"

Harold spread his hands: "Actually, these things can be made just as well with implants, right? Look at that guy just now, he also has two powered arm guards. So, Flash Star, if you ask me if I'm envious, I am a little, but it's okay."

"Oh right! What did the boss say?"

[The commander already knows about this. Since this 'Nan Dou' currently stands in line with us and has expressed a certain amount of goodwill, he will meet with him first.]

[As for you, just in case, you should come back as soon as possible.]

"Understood—no problem!"
