"Living is the real winning, Franklin, all the rest is bullshit!"
On the dock platform of a star base in the Xintan Empire, a middle-aged man in a suit warned the dark-skinned boy who was about to leave.
The young man named Franklin nodded after listening to the other party's advice, but he didn't take it to heart.
This is his chance to stand out. He has had enough of the low-level human treatment.
After completing this task, he can be promoted to a full citizen in his empire.
"Okay, Mike, we'll be fine!"
After Franklin waved slightly, he boarded the ship and prepared to head to the colony for the next plan.
Their mission is to cause riots and turmoil in the Xintan Empire.
Two teams, one attacks the star base and the other attacks the administrative area.
It is also the appetizer prepared by Manfu Commercial Group until their battleship is ready.
Mike watched him board the ship, start the ship's engine, and sail towards the starry sky. He sighed, "Boy, criminal activities are not so easy to escape."
Looking around, this is a secluded part of the shipyard. The old hacker guy has taken the nearby surveillance offline.
Eight gang members each inspected their equipment.
"Damn it, why did I come back and do this thing again..."
Mike was very unhappy. After finally getting ashore, he still ended up in this situation.
Due to the failure of the previous task of caring for Mori Akina, a large amount of liquidated damages had to be repaid by him.
It can be said that capital companies will not let go of any opportunity to squeeze.
If there is not enough money to pay compensation after a period of time, you will have no choice but to be sold to the mining area.
In desperation, Mike can only contact his old buddy, a master hacker who hides in the depths.
Then he received such a cross-border blasting mission and met a young man who seemed pretty good.
Looking back on the past, I used to be just as greedy for criminal activities as Franklin.
Hijacking, raiding, and fighting... It was a very emotional time.
But even so, Mike ended his career without hesitation in the end and faked his own death to retire.
Today, he is just a middle-aged man with a troubled family.
"Mike, we've got a shuttle that doesn't require certification. Remember, you only have fifty-five minutes at most."
In the communication, the voice of an old friend came.
Mike looked up and saw that six shuttles had indeed arrived. "Okay, Lester, don't forget the arrangements for the evacuation of the ships. This is no small matter."
"Hey, my sword is still young. It's just that you have been away from the world for so long, so you should ensure your own safety first."
"bullshit~"
Communication is closed.
Mike walked up to the gang team to assign tasks.
These gang members have heard about Michael for a long time, and the streets are full of legends about him.
Mike Townley, the notorious looter.
He once set a record of 30 minutes of looting the imperial treasury, and finally escaped. He was not captured until several years later, and fell into the sea without knowing his life or death.
"So, this mission may not be difficult, but it's not that simple either."
"Since you are all novices, it is best not to bring high-energy ammunition with you on this mission to avoid being chased and beaten by the guards and then caught."
Mike looked at these young people and shook his head helplessly.
Judging from their excited looks, I'm afraid they still don't know the key point of this task.
If he wasn't afraid that they would be caught and betray him, he wouldn't bother to care about the lives of these guys.
"Boss, can I follow you on a blasting mission?" A mentally young girl who had just grown up raised her hand and said.
Mike glanced at her, her face was covered in heavy makeup, numerous earrings, and a colorful afro.
"You'd better forget it. The blasting mission must be conducted in a low-key manner."
"Ah, I feel like the job of picking up ships is so boring!"
"Shut up, mother-in-law!" Another gangster told her to silence her. Her job was the safest.
Although the money is less, you still have to spend it with your life.
Moreover, this girl is obviously still under the effects of contraband, so whether she can complete the task is a question.
"alright!"
"Stop arguing. Since the action has been arranged, it will not change."
Mike clapped his hands to stop them from shouting.
They can no longer stay in the ink, they must successfully blast multiple operating facilities of the star base within two hours.
In fact, they were not the only ones to handle such demolition tasks. There were also people performing demolition tasks in some bases elsewhere.
If they were a step slower than others, it would be impossible for them to successfully destroy the star base that was on alert.
After Mike emphasized the mission again, everyone set off.
The three of them went to the dock center of the star base respectively, preparing to intercept the signal transmission device and respond to the arrival of friendly ships.
The remaining five people will follow Mike to the main control area of the star base.
Sneak in and plant the appropriate amount of explosives.
"OK, the left hub area is normal. I saw the arranged secret door."
"There are two combatants guarding the command center. We should use force to sneak in."
"Luckily, the processing plant is closed today, and I successfully invaded it."
....
The report reached Mike's ears.
After he responded softly to everyone, he put on his mobility mask, which was a mask with unique technology and was expensive.
Not only can it isolate smoke, but it also has infrared perspective effect and locking function.
Of course, even if these functions are available, implementing them still requires the user's ability. It is impossible to turn a novice into a god of war in an instant.
Thanks to the interstellar era, wearing a mask is not too eye-catching.
The Xintan Empire's star base layout is not much different from other empires, with a maximum flat area of only five square kilometers.
The core is the most expensive giant sensor, which handles the communication transmission function of the entire galaxy.
Coming up from the docking area below is the business and trade area.
The second floor is a rest and commercial street.
The top level is the official area, and the official shipyard is also built above the star base.
What Mike has to do is to take down the command center and shut down the entire base for a few minutes.
On the roof not far from the command center building, Mike lay down here and set up a high-precision long-range weapon.
At the same time, lightly touch your ear with your right hand to turn on the infrared see-through function of the mask.
"Lester, I'm in position!"
After taking aim, Mike let out a breath and asked his old friend to prepare to disrupt communications in this area.
"Well, well, let me check the line here, wait a moment..."
Forty seconds later, Lester chuckled and said, "Listen to my command, 3...2...1...."
The moment the countdown ended, Mike's eyes flashed and he shot two tranquilizer darts in a very short time.
The two combatants standing at the door of the command center fell down instantly, and because their vital signs were still there, they would not cause any alarm for the time being.
In an instant, Mike threw the weapon aside and immediately ran towards the command center.
After taking out the guard's pass, the door to the command center was opened.
Subsequently, the sound of shooting was heard in the command center, and almost all the personnel were anesthetized by Mike and fell to the ground unconscious.
"I have arrived at the command center, you can take action."
Mike's voice rang through the communication. The other members did not expect Mike to solve the command center so quickly.
In awe, he quickly went about his task.
Fortunately, no one made any mistakes, and everyone quickly completed the preparations for blasting.
Then evacuate from the blasting area.
"nailed it!"
"Boss, it's done!"
"Factory done!"
In the command center, a warning red message was reflected on Mike's face, and Lester had controlled the spread of the message.
"Okay, we can execute the blasting countdown!"
When Mike saw everyone in place, he gave the order to prepare for blasting.
Then, they began to evacuate.
Mission accomplished.
When the countdown ends, this star base will suffer a severe setback and will not be able to operate smoothly for at least several days.
As for this mission, even the younger brothers can get millions of credits, enough for them to spend for a long time.
Everyone was extremely excited and flew the shuttle towards the dock.
Mike also took the opportunity to go to a certain dock window, preparing to escape on a rescue ship.
Fortunately, the reception window he arrived at turned out to be the area in charge of the spirited girl.
Walking down the steps from above, you can clearly see that she is lying on the ground with her head over her head, and the communication device beside her is still ringing.
"Damn junkies, damn contraband!"
Mike cursed angrily, walked up to the little girl, and kicked her, "Fake crumbs!"
Not caring about this guy anymore, Mike quickly picked up the communicator and contacted the responding ship.
"It's me, Mike, coordinates xxxx.xxx."
"Copy that, I thought you were caught."
Mike looked at the woman lying on the ground again and sighed, "It's impossible for everything to go smoothly."
But just when he was in contact with the receiving ship, a group of young men walked down from the dock.
"Oh, someone actually helped pay the bill and was wearing a mask."
The young man leading the group was dressed in punk attire, and his hair was a distinctive mohawk.
He looked at Mike and laughed.
Mike was a little confused, his eyes moved slightly, and he asked on the communicator, "What's going on, Lester, no one should be here."
After a moment, a reply came from the communicator, "Damn it, I told you not to use contraband at work..."
No need for Lester to say anything, Mike already understood everything.
This must be because the spirited girl was bored with the mission and went to find something to kill time.
"What a brilliant young generation..." A slightly mocking word came out of Mike's mouth, as if he was commenting on all the young people present.
"Hey, who are you scolding?" A certain boy shouted, obviously knowing that Mike was scolding them.
The leader of the Mohican youth also looked at Mike suspiciously, "This woman seems to have said she wanted to make a fortune. Could it be that she is smuggling?"
Thinking of this, he chuckled, "Young people don't tell secrets. No matter what you do here, if there is no small sum, I will report it to the guards."
Mike was really speechless. He looked at the distance of the receiving ship and picked up the woman who was lying on the ground.
An ownerless credit card was dumped on the Mohican youth.
This is something used to implement Plan B, which can be exchanged for corresponding things through underground channels to achieve the purpose of bribery.
"Boy, this thing is worth 50,000 credits, which is enough for her to buy your stuff. Let's go."
The young Mohawk man and his younger brothers opened their mouths. They offered 50,000 credit points, what a big deal!
He chuckled: "Oh, I'm blind, let's leave right away!"
Continue to blackmail the other party?
This is not a wise choice. He is also selling contraband. If the guards are called, he will not be able to escape.
They accept it as soon as it's good, which is the main reason why they can stay here for a long time.
Just as they were about to leave, Mike stopped them.
"Boys, people forget thousands of things every day. I believe you will forget this thing today, right?"
The implication is to tell them not to talk nonsense.
The young mohawk didn't speak, but raised his eyebrows at Mike.
"Greedy guy..." Mike didn't say much, and threw out another redemption card worth 50,000 credit points.
"Hey, I didn't see anything today!"
The Mohawk Man tested the value of the card again and flicked the card.
They stepped up the steps and left.
Mike and the half-awake woman were left waiting for the ship to arrive.
"The ship will arrive in ninety seconds..."
A report from the responding ship sounded in the communication, and Mike frowned.
Time is running out.
Thirty seconds later, the entire star base suddenly shook.
Looking up, I saw fire all around, and then fireworks burst out.
Soon, everything in the base was in chaos, and no one knew what happened.
Fighters ran around looking for the attackers.
Shuttles are constantly passing through the ship channel, and everyone is preparing to escape from the star base.
If the star base cannot keep running, everyone will be finished.
Just as the ship arrived, the young men headed by the Mohican youth came again.
This time, no matter how stupid they were, they realized that this person was obviously here to destroy the star base!
"Sorry, your 100,000 secret protection fee is not worth it." The young man from Mohawk projected the official message.
[Anyone who provides information about base destruction will be rewarded with a maximum reward of one million credit points!]
Mike was below, looking at them with a somewhat indifferent expression.
Now that the matter has come to this, there is nothing left to talk about.
He instantly took out the two pistols from his waist and knocked down the two gangsters in a few tenths of a second.
"Fuck, just do it?" The young Mohawk man exclaimed when he saw the other party pulling out a gun.
I didn't expect the other party to be so ruthless, no wonder he dared to directly destroy the star base.
At this time, Mike was on full fire.
If he could complete the mission quietly and successfully, he wouldn't mind sparing these people their lives.
But it’s no longer possible. Without knowing whether they have reported it to the Guard, these people must not stay!
"Brother! Brother! We didn't report you, we just wanted to ask for more money."
Behind the bunker, the Mohawk youth shouted.
Facing such a murderous god, these little gangsters have no weapons to fight back.
Mike ignored his words completely. He continued to hold the pistol with his left hand to suppress their appearance, and pulled out the components behind his back with his right hand, preparing to form an assault weapon.
The sound of Tetite's shooting sounded here, and fortunately there was the rumble of the star base being destroyed, so no one noticed anything strange here for the time being.
At this moment, the sound of gunshots seemed to wake up the half-awake woman, and she looked around confusedly.
Seeing the legendary Mike Townley fighting with someone, he suddenly became excited, "Oh! Is there a fight!?"
She shook her head, wondering if she had started a fight with the guard.
"Since the boss has taken action, I also want to make some contribution!"
After that, she groped around on her body and took out two deflagration grenades, which were continuous damage grenades that could erupt with intense fireworks after locking onto the enemy.
"Fa...fa ah boom~"
She shouted, then threw the grenade upwards.
Mike's eyes widened when he heard the sound, and he looked back in disbelief.
Is this woman crazy? She still thinks the matter is not big enough!?
"Oh my god, this firepower can directly attack the star base!"
Seeing the grenade being thrown over, the young Mohawk man didn't even care about taking cover and ran directly back.
Fortunately, Mike was attracted by this thunder, otherwise he would definitely die.
boom!
Even the combatants in the distance saw the obvious fireworks with their naked eyes. They quickly gathered their teammates and drove towards this direction.
"It's just a disgrace to my career!"
Mike angrily raised his gun and put it against the woman's head. As long as he gently pulled the trigger, she could really get high until she died.
Mike shook his head for a moment, taking deep breaths.
Finally he put down the gun.
During his errands, he would never take a cold shot at his teammates. This was his rule in the street, and it was also the reason why his prestige was so high.
The Guard's shuttle can already be seen.
The response ship was finally in place.
Mike threw down the weapon and dragged the woman onto the ship.
Due to this accident, the subsequent escape operation was not that simple.
Mike walked to the cockpit with a solemn expression and communicated with Lester about the next action.
….
In the command room on the main star, a warning sound suddenly sounded, and star bases in multiple galaxies were inexplicably offline.
"What's going on!? Already called?"
Xin Yun did not hear the attack information of the Manfu Group fleet, but how could the star base be damaged?
All military agencies were operating at full speed, and messages were constantly delivered to him.
But just ten minutes later, everyone was investigating the reason why the stellar base was offline.
A certain colonial administrative center was also attacked!
Look at the flashing warning red circle on the star map.
