Chapter 420 I am their biggest trouble
The heavy rain lasted for four hours. When Lin Xuan found a hotel to stay in, the sky over the capital planet was still gray and gloomy, as if a giant rock was pressing down on the entire mechanical Earth.
The war with the other two Earths has reached a fever pitch, and the aftermath of the war has naturally not been avoided even by the capital planet. When Lin Xuan checked into the hotel, she had to go through three or four identity checks before she was allowed to enter.
"With such a strict investigation, have you actually caught any communists?"
Lin Xuan stretched out his arms, allowing the security personnel in charge of the inspection to search him. The nanobots hidden in his body had long been integrated with his blood. The instruments in their hands alone could not detect whether Lin Xuan was actually carrying a weapon or not.
Upon hearing Lin Xuan's question, the man in charge of security simply smiled.
"Guest, you are joking. This is the capital planet. How could those red elements from Starfire dare to cause trouble here? Besides, even if they did, they wouldn't choose a hotel of our caliber. Please rest assured, there will be absolutely no problem with security in our hands."
He thought Lin Xuan was worried about security, so he patted his chest and assured her, unaware that the person in front of him was the leader of the communists he had mentioned.
Lin Xuan nodded slightly. It seemed that this so-called inspection was just for show, and the real intention was not what it seemed. Then things would be much easier to handle from here on out.
Lin Xuan was initially worried that the defense forces on the capital planet would increase as the battle lines advanced, but now it seems that she had been worrying unnecessarily.
The current state of Mechanical Earth can be described as outwardly strong but inwardly weak. The front lines are under strain, which has increased the pressure on the three major corporations. In addition, their power grab on Revelation III has made the already precarious Mechanical Earth government even more vulnerable.
After returning to her room, Lin Xuan first had Zhi Zi scan the entire room to confirm that there were no listening devices before contacting Su Zilin and the others.
"Boss, how's it going over there? Did you arrive at the capital planet safely?"
As soon as the video call connected, Su Zilin eagerly stepped forward. Lin Qi and Zuo Xiao stood side by side with him. The old soldier smoked in the distance, seemingly uninterested, but his eyes would occasionally glance in their direction.
"It's not a big problem. This girl shouldn't be lying to me. The identity information she gave me is real." Lin Xuan smiled. "Or rather, it's a good thing the identity information she gave me was real, otherwise you would already be seeing the news of the fall of the capital planet of Mechanical Earth."
Everyone was speechless upon hearing this, and Su Zilin even wore a wry smile on his face, giving Lin Xuan a thumbs up.
"Boss, you're really overdoing it with your bragging. That's their capital planet. Yes, I admit you're very strong, but that's only part of the story. We were only able to take over Revelation 3 because of luck. Don't do anything stupid. The permanent military force on the capital planet is much larger and stronger than that on Revelation 3."
Su Zilin was genuinely worried that Lin Xuan might do something foolish on the capital planet alone, so he couldn't help but remind her that they had narrowly escaped capture of Revelation III last time. If the city defense forces hadn't temporarily defected, they would probably have been suppressed by armed forces very quickly with their small force.
Lin Qi, who was standing nearby, quickly added a new message.
"Boss, you need to keep a low profile lately. The Divine Realm released a battle report a few days ago, a great victory from the 824th Fleet at the front line. We sank 13 of their capital ships in one go, and their fleet commander-in-chief has been replaced by a very young general, supposedly named Lu Sheng or something. He's someone trained by the three giant corporations and is extremely capable."
"The front lines, which were on the verge of collapse, were pulled back by him in less than three days. To ensure the stability of logistical resources, he is now stationed inside the capital planet. It is said that he intends to let the military temporarily take over government power, but the three major corporations have not agreed, and the two sides are pulling each other."
Lin Xuan was not surprised by this situation. He had already heard some inside stories from Zhi Zi. The internet surveillance and the military were deeply involved with the three giant companies. Lu Sheng must have been very confident to get involved in this mess.
"If the military really takes over the capital planet, Boss, you should withdraw as soon as possible to avoid getting into any unnecessary trouble."
Lin Qi's reminder was well-intentioned, since they were currently isolated and helpless. Once the military took over the mechanical Earth, they would inevitably come to settle scores with them. At that time, Lin Qi felt it would be better to simply abandon the Starfire organization.
After all, the team has already exceeded its mission targets, so there's no need for any casualties, especially for their new captain who has just taken over the team.
But Lin Xuan just smiled and didn't care at all.
"Trouble? No trouble at all. When I appeared on this planet, I was their biggest trouble!"
Su Zilin pondered for a moment and nodded.
“That’s true, but boss, it’s not good for us to just stay here and guard. I heard that Tian E from the Seventh Squad is also on Mechanical Earth. Should we have Zuo Xiao try to contact them and try to rendezvous?”
"Tian E?"
Lin Xuan racked her brains for a long time before she remembered who this person was. When she first joined the rapid reaction force, the vice-captain of the seventh squad gave her a key to the HMS Lord Avent and asked her to help copy a copy of the carrier's AI data.
I still have that data in my hands, but I haven't had the chance to return to Mind Earth to give it to him. I didn't expect that the other party is also on Mechanical Earth, which makes things much easier.
"Alright, let her go. If she sees Tian E, tell him that I have obtained what he asked me to find."
"You can't let your guard down on the task of detaining that little girl. She's a trump card in our hands right now. The network surveillance hasn't spread the news of her capture yet, so it seems they want to negotiate with us."
"It seems the internet surveillance team is taking her very seriously. If nothing goes wrong, we should be able to extort a hefty sum from them."
In the video, Su Zilin shrugged: "Don't worry, I've got this covered. We've locked her up in the Spark Organization's underground base, which is an absolutely shielded signal vacuum. Once a hacker loses their source of signal transmission and reception, they're basically no different from an ordinary person."
“Okay, I trust you to handle things. Once I have a clear understanding of the situation on the capital planet, I will go and make contact with that informant.”
