Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

At the 9412 logistics base, Yun Yu stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor of the warehouse, keenly observing the street scene outside.

This area near the star port was especially bustling, and even in the deep of night, the outer streets were still aglow with colorful lights and busy nightlife.

The location Yun Yu was looking at housed a red-light district where he had once had a genuinely good experience.

Still, the internal areas of these base cities were more fun than the few cramped, filthy, and chaotic dens operated by his gang, the Vile Pirate Gang, shrouded in dark and poisonous air.

Although they brought back women every year by various means to relieve the stress of the gang members, it was still not as enjoyable as places outside.

Yet now was not the time, ever since Yun Yu had entered the ninth city base through smuggling, he felt like he was being watched.

Yun Yu could smell the scent of those vicious dogs from the security bureau—

Just then, Yun Yu heard a shrill voice from behind him.

"Yun Yu, we need to get ready to move!"

Yun Yu turned around and saw a middle-aged Caucasian man with a watermelon haircut and a stocky build behind him.

That was his temporary superior—'Illusion Melon' Baroque.

This was a 6S+ class illusionist whose illusion technique was so powerful that it could deceive Xue Bogao's senses from 100 meters away without leaving any trace. It is said that the special investigation team from the security bureau on the Xue Bogao case still has no knowledge of this person's existence.

And just like last time, Baroque was in charge of this mission.

When Yun Yu followed Baroque into a small conference room converted from a loft in the warehouse, he saw four fully armed men of varying appearances.

These were 'Serpent Spear' Casa, 'Firefox' Chang Xin, 'Assault Bear' Mitcha, and 'Double Guns' Xiong Si— not only were all four members of the Vile Pirate Gang, but they were also majors with pseudo 6A grade combat gear evaluations, and Casa in particular, was a pseudo 6S class sniper in overall ratings.

At that moment, Yun Yu frowned slightly, displeasure apparent in his eyes.

He noticed that all four men had somewhat vacant expressions and abnormal flushes on their faces, clear signs of being high on drugs.

Yun Yu knew that all four men suffered from various degrees of implant syndrome, and needed drugs to relax their minds, but during a mission, couldn't they refrain a little?

Baroque apparently ignored this, as he turned on the video projector.

"This person is Zhang Long, deputy head of the Third Special Operations Department and leader of the First Action Group, a 6SS class master, and also the team leader of the Xue Bogao case. About 5 days ago, our partners learned that he had commissioned the New City Pharmaceutical Inspection Company under the name of the security bureau to test the medicinal ingredients of the Ling Yun spray—"

He had not finished speaking when 'Serpent Spear' Casa interjected, "What's the problem with this Ling Yun spray anyway? I've been using it lately."

Baroque shook his head slightly, "That's irrelevant to us. We're only responsible for eliminating someone, helping our partners settle this matter, and right now, the situation is quite troublesome!"

He frowned, "Our partners have tried to delay the drug inspection process at the New City Pharmaceutical Inspection Company, but recent intelligence indicates that Zhang Long might not only be contracting this one company; we need to eliminate him before those drug test results come out."

"How soon? How fast are we talking? Zhang Long was recently the target of an assassination attempt. It's unknown who was behind it, but a shot hit his head, so this person is exceptionally cautious now, with extra tight security."

Yun Yu narrowed his eyes, "Also, the 'Heartbreak Grass' content in the Ling Yun spray is very low, should be hard to detect, right? I remember Xue Bogao once commissioned that 'Calron Pharmaceutical Testing Co., Ltd.', and it took them over two months to determine anything. He commissioned them in early March, and results only came out at the end of May. We should still have time."

At that moment, faces like those of 'Serpent Spear' Casa and 'Firefox' Chang Xin showed puzzled expressions in the small conference room.

Heartbreak Grass? What is that?

Baroque couldn't help but glare fiercely at Yun Yu; that was highly confidential information within the pirate gang, how could he casually mention it in front of these four?

Even if he knew these four were almost spent and soon to be dealt with, he shouldn't have been so reckless.

"It should be so, but this time the situation is different. Zhang Long directly requested these testing companies to identify the 'Heartbreak Grass' component. It's baffling how this guy caught wind of it—"

Baroque's voice, however, abruptly stopped at that moment.

His pupils constricted as he stooped forward like a cheetah and rushed to the loft's window to look outside.

Baroque saw on the street outside, a massive, heavily armed military force surging forward.

"What's going on?" Yun Yu was also shocked, and he crouched down to the ground, creeping forward to the window to peer out cautiously.

He scanned briefly with the visual system of his exoskeleton armor, and became even more alarmed, "At least eight hundred combat mechas, eight hundred combat robots, three hundred magnetic levitation tanks, three hundred heavy armored vehicles, and one hundred and fifty self-propelled anti-matter cannons—this is the setup of a heavily equipped synthetic brigade of the armed police forces."

At that moment, Yun Yu's breath hitched slightly because he saw three fire support boats slowly passing overhead.

Although they were called 'fire support boats', the 120-meter length and the numerous gun turrets densely packed on them like ancient spear formations gave a tremendous sense of oppression, feeling like they blotted out the sky and covered the earth.

As these troops and fire support boats approached, the roar of their engines began to resonate, vibrating everyone's eardrums.

What made the few people in the conference room truly tremble with fear was that, as this heavily equipped synthetic brigade moved quickly, not only were some of their cannons aimed at the 9412 logistical base, but their radars and scanners were also activated, clearly passing through this street in a vigilant posture.

The few of them dared not peek out the window and were fully reining in their mental and energy presences.

They were all federal felons, afraid of being detected by the sensory equipment of these armed police forces.

Only after five minutes, when the army of thousands had passed by the street next to them, did the five of them relax a bit.

Seeing the direction this heavily equipped brigade was heading, it seemed they were moving toward the starport, and the armed police forces' target was not them.

Baroque then remotely controlled the projector on the conference table, turning on the live broadcast from Sky Ring News Network,

"Breaking news from our station, today the Security Bureau has launched a major operation, dispatching a large number of personnel and police forces at 8 PM to seal off Taisu Pharmaceutical Company, the City Drug Administration, the Public Health Bureau, and the Chemical Engineering Safety Department of the Security Bureau."

"It is heard that an hour ago, the armed police forces had already received orders to mobilize fully and block the urban rail stations and major transport routes, now moving to seal off the starport. The Security Bureau has also issued a notice advising citizens not to go out unless in emergencies, and all flights at the starport will be subjected to inspection by the Security Bureau—"

"—It is rumored that this incident is related to the 'Spirit Rhythm Spray' released by Taisu Pharmaceutical Company in the past six months. This drug might cause further mental mutation in patients with Transplant Syndrome and is highly addictive, potentially endangering society. All major pharmaceutical stores have already pulled the drug from their shelves."

"Ah, damn," 'Snake Spear' Kasa muttered upon hearing this, "It looks like our mission has failed before it even began."

The expressions on Baroque and Yun Yu's faces were extremely grim.

This Spirit Rhythm Spray was tied to crucial schemes above, and according to their original plans, this drug needed to be publicly distributed on the market for at least a year to achieve the expected goals.

Although the column of the heavily equipped synthetic brigade was massive and moved quickly, it still took a full five minutes to drive past the street near the 9412 logistical base.

Just as Baroque and the others were relaxing and preparing to stand, they felt their consciousness blur and almost couldn't stand steady,

The four pseudo-level 6 assumed they were too intoxicated from drugs, causing their minds to be unclear, so they didn't pay much attention.

Baroque and Yun Yu, however, had their pupils slightly contract—startled to the extreme—they didn't hesitate to take out the stimulants they carried and inserted them into the backs of their necks.

Right then, beneath their warehouse, Wang Sen, dressed in a maintenance sergeant's uniform, was opening the control core of the last Type 5 Hawk Falcon combat robot, inserting a black data disk into the slot.

Quirky Youngster (Wang Sen): "Bro Rui, I've finished here. 36 Type 6 Gatling Bodhisattvas, 16 Type 4 Hawk Falcons, and 8 Type 5 Hawk Falcons are all infected with the virus program, and they haven't detected any anomalies."

Wang Sen glanced sideways at several soldiers standing nearby who, though still conscious, were dazed and unresponsive.

His cover should have been blown by now, as these soldiers should have noticed something odd long ago, but the drug used by Lin Rui this time was indeed miraculous.

These soldiers, clearly still awake, had temporarily lost their ability to think, unable to react to their surroundings.

As for these machines, with Wang Sen having maintenance sergeant privileges, they could not react either.

Fei Yunlai was standing in the basement of the first warehouse, looking at two giant maintenance devices stretching 25 meters long and the two transplant battle dragons slumbering inside.

Invincible Bull (Fei Yunlai): "I'm good on this end too! I've injected the boss's drug into the life support chambers. That little Xue is really something, he managed to pinpoint the location of these two battle dragons just from the structure of this building."

Lin Rui was standing at the ventilation duct on the top floor of the warehouse, looking at the attic and smiling slightly.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "Let's get this operation started! They must have noticed me by now."

"Pop!"

With that soft gunshot, Gong Hengdao, stationed at a sniper post 7 kilometers away and holding a silenced sniper rifle, fired the first shot.

Meanwhile, from a warehouse 13 kilometers south of him, Gong Hengdao's transplant battle dragon, holding a Godslayer Type 7 sniper cannon in its hands, also locked target on 9412 logistical base, ready to suppress any unplanned disturbances.
