Chapter 22It did not take long for the Midnight Hunters to face their enemies."Arm the Phantom Cannon and brace yourself... this will be a rough ride," Smith yelled at the top.The three D-Link planes are already up ahead of them. Just like them, the D-Link planes of the bullseye Angels are ready to fire.Whoosh!The first one that came to greet them is the energy beam that Kynon is piloting. Fortunately, it was missed. However, it is then followed by the energy beams from the other two D-Link planes.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!Bang! Bang!The whooshing sound is the sound indicating that the energy beams from the Bullseye Angels missed while the banging sound is because Smith and the others' D-Link plane is hit."Fuck! This is where Damion is good."Mad Hat Camile, the pilot, grit her teeth. Although she is doing a rather good job by evading most of the energy beams, she is not satisfied with her performance. After all, she knows that if it is Damion who is piloting the plane,
Chapter 23The drone missiles that Smith hacked hit the three D-Link planes. Two of which are obliterated while the last one is about to crash head-on.The plane that barely managed to survive is the D-Link plane that Kynon is piloting."Shit! Wolf, we did not see that coming," Kynon said as he tries his best to stabilize their crashing D-Link plane.However, he is not oblivious that his action is futile."The Phantom Cannon is already useless, and the armor of the plane is already broken. The Midnight Hunters could hit us at any time…"Meanwhile, Mad Hat Camile, Parker, and Scarlet are rejoicing as they survive this calamity.They could not deny that Meta is indeed full of surprises."Who would have thought that Meta had a trick like that?" Scarlet said."That scrap Meta, I thought he had surpassed me at being a sharpshooter. It turned out that he is hacking the drone missiles and directing them to his bullets."Despite the 'hardship' that Parker had experienced from Meta, he could n
Chapter 24The government has always been like this.They silently go against the rules that they have imposed for the reason that it is for the greater good. Well, it probably is. Or not."The World Federation trust me that much? Are they not afraid that I might do the thing that they feared?" Federant asked."The thing that they feared? Who knows. But they probably have a backup," Jam replied."Yes, they always do," Fiend seconded."Now Jam, I have the general location of one of the variables. I need you to look for him."Federant started giving his commands."Fiend, I have already alerted the federation about the shady business of the first variable. I need you to make sure that the courier service will not get involved with the target.""Then, finally, I want the two of you to keep all your attention to the first variable. No matter what, as long as it will not cause us too much, ignore the second variable."The two A.I.s nodded in response."Federant, with that, said, do you have
Chapter 25"You have finally chosen to give up?" Federant asked.However, although he said that, he thinks otherwise. 'Such a good virtual room. Fortunately, it is still not developed to the fullest.'Smith was mistaken when he heard Federant mumble about his virtual room a while ago. He thought that his virtual room did not meet the standards of the old man. But it seemed that it is not the case."No matter how good your virtual room is, I will achieve my goal today."Federant mumbled as he continued to eliminate Smith's shadow-like creatures.Unfortunately for Federant, there is something that he had missed.He did not notice that code Eden is triggered and is already running. Otherwise, he would have thought on the contrary. Or perhaps he would just curse smith."Federant, before I leave, I bid you farewell."This time, Federant was confused about Smith's sudden action. 'Weird! Why is he acting like that? What is he up to?'Federant did not hesitate to spend a moment to see what wa
Chapter 26The plasma beams did not reach their target.They were blocked by a ship.Indeed, another plane caught all the energy beams and became the sacrifice for Kynon's D-Link plane.Fortunately, the plane that sacrificed itself is only graded C. However, its speed is graded as B. If it has great firepower as well as astounding defense, overall, it might have been graded B.Meanwhile, the anxious Kynon of the Bullseye Angels breathed a sigh of relief.However, he did not know who saved him and Wolf."Whoever you are, thank you. I will repay this favor someday," Kynon said deep in his heart, and he meant it.Meanwhile, the Midnight Hunters' reaction is contrary to Kynon's reaction.Their mouths are wide open while blankly staring at the explosion made by the collision of the plasma beams and the mysterious plane."Is that an accident?" Scarlet is the one who broke the silence.Whoosh!"Evade!"Right after Scarlet spoke, a whooshing sound was heard at the same time as Smith yelled ev
Chapter 27"Unknown D-Link plane heading towards hanger 370-18A, identify yourself!"The Midnight Hunters arrived at the headquarters of the World Federation. Or to be exact, the Sky Ship of the World Federation that is stationed near the frontline.If they properly study the autopilot protocol that Smith placed in their plane, they might be able to disable it, but they did not do anything.The shock that Smith brought to them weighed them too much. Especially Mad Hat Camile.Part of her is saying that she should go after Smith. However, she did not do it.The reason is not certain. But perhaps it is because of the fear that she will be entangled with the mess that Smith brought.But then again, there is something else. Her heart is in pain that she could not understand. Or rather, it is because of the reason that she dares not think.'I cannot go on and follow Smith. There is not enough reason for me to do that.' However, the more she says that, the more it pains.Mad Hat Camile is s
Chapter 28"Federant, how are things going? Why do you look weak and gloomy?"Jam asked as she appeared inside Federant's virtual world."Sigh! That Smith cannot be underestimated," Federant replied with a sigh. "His virtual room is unlike anything that we know. It does not follow the logic that we know.""Ehh? That's interesting. Did you destroy it?""Fortunately, yes. Otherwise, it will give us more trouble in the future."In Federant's eyes, Smith is the greatest trouble that he had faced. Of course, the other unknown variable is excluded since he has yet to meet it."Trouble, you say? How so?" Jam tilted his head like a cute loli."His virtual room houses many A.I.s. If they are well developed, they will be a great trouble for us." Federant paused for a while before continuing."Furthermore, Smith himself has an interesting code set that is very hard to deal with."Federant told Jam all about Smith's virtual room and their clash."Merged duplication and deletion? Hmmm, that's new.
Chapter 29It did not take long before they could reach their destination.The plane which they rode is a D-Link plane. After they are sent to their destination, the plane immediately went back to the sky city.At the same time, X Grizzly and Grey's scouting ended there. But that did not stop X Grizzly from silently observing Grey."According to the report, this man named Grey is a close combatant. He is good at martial arts. But… there is something that's telling me that there is more of this man," X Grizzly silently studied the mute-shit silent man from his peripheral vision."I'm sure of it, I have met many people and my assumption about them is always close to what I say."After a few seconds, X Grizzly no longer cared about Grey. Rather, he stood and prepared his things."Grey, can you help the new recruit carry his loads? I don't think he's strong enough with those scrawny muscles," the vice platoon leader said."Not strong? Vice-captain, I may look thin, but my muscles are fill
