Armor-Piercing Munition: Face Me, Carbon-Based Monster! Chapter 280 - 121 Close Reconnaissance

The next morning, inside Xu He’s residence.

Chen Jian was already fully equipped, while Xu He, who was sitting opposite him, still looked half-asleep. The blood stains from the puncture of the brain machine interface on his back were not yet fully dried.

Chen Jian straightforwardly explained the plan to him, but after hearing it, Xu He repeatedly waved his hands.

"What? going to Huadu with you guys?"

"I thought I just needed to sit here and wait---isn’t fighting your specialty?"

"I won’t go, those Huadu people are crazy. If they find out, I might end up dead there too."

"Yes, their palace isn’t that easy to get into!"

"It’s a fortress built on a mountain... no one can get in, not the chanical God Sect or the Holy Blood either..."

"Oh right! The fortress!"

"I’ve heard a saying! Fortresses are always breached from within!"

"So we should strike from within---we should bribe so of the Huadu people."

"Speaking of bribery..."

"Enough."

Chen Jian raised his hand to interrupt Xu He, then said:

"From now on, don’t say a word, just guide us."

"If I ask you anything, just nod or shake your head, okay?"

Xu He nodded exaggeratedly, and Chen Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You’ve been to the palace in Huadu, right?"

Xu He nodded again.

"Do you know the general layout inside the palace? Especially the layout of the sealed rooms."

"I kno..."

Halfway through his sentence, Xu He suddenly shut his mouth, then nodded vigorously.

"That’s enough, co with us!"

Chen Jian waved his hand, and Xu He imdiately lifted the box containing the brain machine device he had already packed, following behind Chen Jian.

Ji Xing, Xie Liu, and Li Shi surrounded him in a triangular formation, always on guard against his possible ambush.

But it was obvious he had no such intention.

His entire thought seed to have been controlled by this brain machine, becoming crazy and obstinate.

Now, he had only one goal in his eyes.

To re-enter Huadu and find more secrets about the brain machine.

So, what was it about that brain machine that could attract him?

Perhaps it was also a ans of... escaping reality?

Chen Jian didn’t think too deeply, once confirming his willingness to cooperate, he imdiately led the team out.

The journey from Zhuolu City to Quan City, the so-called Huadu, was 260 kiloters. According to the plan, they would arrive at Qianfeng City, 50 kiloters away from Quan City, before nightfall. After resting on the outskirts of the Qianfeng Ruins, they would approach Quan City at midnight for reconnaissance and draft the final battle plan.

Everything went smoothly.

Along the way, Chen Jian no longer proactively hunted monsters but ordered everyone to seize every mont to rest as much as possible.

After all, although according to the plan they only needed to conduct a penetration decapitation operation, no infiltration operation was foolproof.

If discovered, during the retreat, he would also need the team mbers to respond.

The convoy headed north, bypassing two monsters estimated to be above Level 3, and reached the Qianfeng Ruins smoothly, setting up camp in a relatively concealed place to establish a forward command post.

Imdiately after, without any pause, Chen Jian opened up a simple runway, launched the Sky Do-S long-endurance drone, and entered the Qianfeng Ruins, preparing to climb Taishan and set up a broadly covering signal base station.

"Fu Xi is responsible for aerial drone reconnaissance, Li Shi and Ji Xing keep an eye on Xu He, Xie Liu and Lei Jie, follow ."

Chen Jian’s orders were issued, and the three imdiately set out, heading towards Mount Tai.

The drone above kept circling, and the route was quickly planned.

To avoid unnecessary conflicts, the route avoided all locations where monsters might be encountered, and both Chen Jian and Lei Jie activated the cha’s electro-optic camouflage.

Infiltration operations never start from the mont of "infiltration."

In fact, from the mont the reconnaissance action begins, the main the of "infiltration" is already fully embodied.

"How high is Taishan again?"

As they moved through dense forests, Lei Jie asked.

"Over 1,500 ters, why, you never climbed it?"

Chen Jian replied casually.

"Never climbed it, I planned to once, but there were always too many people there."

"You know, I don’t like crowded places."

"Now there are fewer people, you can climb it properly."

Chen Jian joked.

"Doesn’t that an there are fewer people... suspicious heat signal detected 800 ahead, detour."

"Received, detouring."

Chen Jian answered briefly, and the three changed direction, detouring to the north side.

anwhile, two mini-drones had already locked onto a monster hunting not far away, continuously updating its location in real-ti.

"Passed the danger zone, reached the climbing starting point."

"This is the climbing starting point??"

Chen Jian was dumbstruck at the completely vegetation-covered terrain before him, unable to match it with the Taishan in his mory for a mont.

All the trails, stairs, and even the broad squares and parking lots had completely disappeared.

The only slight difference they could see was that the vegetation in front of them was relatively lower and less dense.

"What, you still expect there to be a path for you to climb?"

Lei Jie asked with amusent.

"I actually did think so."

Chen Jian nodded earnestly, then said:
