Chapter 1347 This guard is also ordinary, Qiu Xinli is also ordinary
"What's going on outside?"
It's impossible for Qiu Xinli, who was in the repair cabin, not to notice the movement outside, especially now that the power in the entire area where she was located was out. Even if Qiu Xinli was mentally retarded, she should have known...
Someone took action against the "King of Sky".
And the target is very likely to be yourself.
In response to Qiu Xinli's question, the captain of the Qiu family guard team outside immediately responded.
"Your Excellency, the KS-001 hub has indeed shown signs of being hacked. It's suspected that the central control system has been cracked by a highly skilled hacker team. The situation within the hub is currently under control."
"Please rest assured, we will protect this place. According to various intelligence reports, although there is some unrest within the hub, other than the monitoring being offline and the alarm system sounding an abnormal alert, no other abnormalities have been detected."
"We have already dispatched a reconnaissance team. Scans have detected no other alchemical equipment or unregistered active life forms near the hub, and there are no signs of physical intrusion inside."
Qiu Xinli nodded slightly.
If the security department of Shenli Group, or even the guards of a subordinate outsourced security company, said these words, Qiu Xinli would definitely not feel at ease.
But the person who was talking to him was actually the captain of the family's guard.
Qiu Xinli knew the strength of him and his men.
If these people say there is no problem, then it must be true.
So, Qiu Xinli just started thinking.
"Who could have done this?"
"Universal Chamber of Commerce, Truth Company... or the Shenglan Family?"
"They specifically timed it to coincide with my full body repair... Was it a coincidence, or was it premeditated?"
"No, it should be difficult to premeditate... After all, the fact that I got injured today was completely unexpected."
In any case, Qiu Xinli felt that this unrest should be some kind of "harassment".
After all, this is not a period of all-out war. It is impossible for other royal noble families to really send their elite troops to attack the "King of Sky" and kill him head-on.
But out of caution, Qiu Xinli still gave a reminder.
"If you discover an extremely skilled expert, please report to me immediately. I'm 70% done with the repairs now, so we can temporarily suspend them."
"Yes! Your Excellency!"
After hearing the reply from the captain of the Qiu family guard, Qiu Xinli closed her eyes, lay back down in the pool of transparent high-concentration alchemical extract, and began to continue repairing and recharging.
But less than five seconds after she closed her eyes, she heard the captain's voice again.
"Respected Your Excellency Qiu Xinli..."
"what happened?"
Qiu Xinli opened her eyes.
"Something seems amiss," the highly professional captain said, adopting a rare tone of uncertainty. "Our entire team...suddenly lost contact simultaneously."
Qiu Xinli sat up: "Five people together?"
"Yes, Team 'Snow' didn't report back at their last scheduled contact point, and there was no response after our active calls. We've received no information. We're currently unable to determine what happened to them, or even when they lost contact," the captain of the Qiu family's guard team reported. He paused for a moment, then held onto his earphone and said, "Your Excellency, the second team, 'Thunder', which was sent to take over their surveillance area and investigate what happened to Team 'Snow', also lost contact while filling in."
"Also, the route for calling for reinforcements has been cut off."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Xinli immediately took over the command.
"Abandon garrisoning most areas and do not send any more teams to take over the area. The remaining four teams will gather outside the repair cabin and can enter directly into my repair cabin if necessary."
"Understood," the captain immediately began issuing orders. "It seems we need to be prepared for the possibility of a master of your level entering the hub."
Qiu Xinli shook her head.
"No, I need to be prepared... for someone stronger than me, or even a level stronger, to enter the hub."
"Because I can't sneak into the Sky King silently and defeat your elite guards silently as a team right under the nose of my other self."
"And they're clearly coming for me... Knowing that 'King of Sky' is my home turf and I have the upper hand, they still dare to do this. They must have something to rely on."
The captain was stunned for a moment, then responded.
"Yes."
He conveyed Qiu Xinli's words to the team members below.
However, Qiu Xinli could see that although the captain did not question what she said out of loyalty and obedience, he obviously did not believe what he said rationally.
after all……
In the eyes of these Qiu family guards, there are people who are stronger than Qiu Xinli, or even one level stronger.
But at least they have to be at the level of the head of each family or the chosen one of God.
Apart from these, there may be a handful of masters... but how could those beings be so crazy as to come to the "King of Sky" on their own initiative?
Qiu Xinli thought so too.
But, she was able to realize...
Although there aren't enough strong people in "this world", and those who are strong have no motivation to do such a thing.
But what about those powerful people outside the world?
Although those people are also few in number, their behavior is more unpredictable than the local strongmen in the City That Never Sleeps.
After Qiu Xinli thought of this possibility, she naturally would not take it lightly.
After all, my brother has frequent contacts with powerful people from outside the world, so it is natural that someone would target me.
Although Qiu Xinli had heard that the behavior of those people was restricted by some "higher-dimensional forces" and would not excessively interfere in the affairs of this world or actively cause major impacts, there were a few exceptions.
What if this was just an accident?
"I just don't know what the other party's purpose is."
Qiu Xinli was thinking, and then the captain's voice sounded again.
"Your Excellency... Another 'Frost' team has lost contact."
"Currently, three teams have gathered at the main entrance of the repair cabin. Please give your orders."
Qiu Xinli said, "Stay where you are and make sure you are all within each other's sight."
"Understood... Wait a moment, Your Excellency Qiu Xinli, we seem to have reconnected with the Frost team we just lost contact with, and they are moving closer to this place."
Confusion appeared on Qiu Xinli's bionic mechanical face, and she obviously felt a sense of incongruity.
A team that lost contact and then quickly regained it?
Could it be that the other party did not quickly "deal with" those teams and kill their members silently, but simply cut off the connection between the teams and then trapped them with some means?
Do not……
We can't be so optimistic.
"Stay alert. Order the members of Team Frost to lower their weapons and come forward."
Qiu Xinli gave the order, and the captain understood Qiu Xinli's intention.
"Understood, Your Excellency."
The captain said this and conveyed the order again.
Then...
Qiu Xinli suddenly felt that the outside suddenly became extremely quiet.
Although the cabin originally had good sound insulation, and the team members outside were in a relatively hidden state under martial law, there was not much noise.
However, the subtle sounds of the team members running to each other, activating tactical equipment, and conveying commands through gestures and equipment would always be transmitted and captured by Qiu Xinli's keen senses.
but now……
All those sounds suddenly disappeared.
"There really is an expert."
Making a team disappear silently under their noses is not the opponent's limit.
At least, he can make all fifteen people from three teams disappear!
Qiu Xinli realized that this might be one of the most dangerous situations she had ever encountered since she was born.
For her, who has basically only played crushing games since taking charge of the "White Bone Temple", today's experience is indeed novel and rare!
First, he was forced to retreat by the less famous "Bu Ye Tian Huo Xing" of the same generation; now, he was attacked in his own territory above the "King of Sky"!
Such a situation...
That’s right!
This is what the "Knife Wielder" should do according to the records of the Qiu family - use their strength to win dangerous battles for the family, so that both themselves and the head of the family can become stronger in the flames of war and blood!
"Abort repairs, initiate rapid charging."
Qiu Xinli stood up from the pool of alchemical extraction liquid and gave instructions to the surrounding facilities.
The alchemical equipment responsible for maintenance was temporarily shut down, and the alchemical components and implanted devices in her body were reactivated. The life energy in her body and the alchemical energy stored in those alchemical components began to flow alternately, forming a powerful momentum.
Even though the opponent was most likely a master a level stronger than herself, or even someone who attacked her with absolute certainty of a kill, Qiu Xinli still chose...
Draw the knife!
It doesn’t matter if it’s the strong ones among the visitors from other worlds... or even the heads of other families and the chosen ones of God who come in person!
The right hand was raised, and the skeleton, which was also under restoration, fell into the hand.
And after that...
She raised her left hand—another long sword, similar in style to the Bone Guardian sword, but with a gradient of black and gray, was also connected to her left hand.
The magical artifact "Impurity View" is also on this boat!
Although Qiu Xinli felt a sharp pain all over her body as if it was about to "collapse" the moment she started using the "Impurity View" - with her current level, trying to control two "artifacts" at the same time would inevitably cause the life energy in her body to run wild and the alchemical components to go out of control!
The equipment all over his body that had just been repaired was now being worn out at a terrifying rate!
But Qiu Xinli knew...
During the period before I was completely depleted, I forced myself to activate two divine weapons, holding two swords...
Even if Alan Mercury, Saint Orchid, Jin Sorens or even Nevernight's Yonglian himself came, she would dare to draw her sword against them!
In the time it took for that strike of the sword, I was truly at the God-chosen level!
Qiu Xinli stared at the direction of the entrance.
Using the all-round enhancement brought by the artifact, she could clearly feel that the attacker was there.
Just as she expected, there was indeed only one person—his vitality and alchemical active energy were not particularly abundant, but the strength of these visitors from other worlds could not be measured by this.
"bring it on."
Qiu Xinli gripped her two swords tightly and began to regulate her breathing.
But after she took her first breath...
Qiu Xinli suddenly noticed...
I don't know when the floor beneath my feet was covered with a layer of shimmering "mosaic".
She instinctively realized that these things might not be touched, but before she could take any action, Qiu Xinli felt dizzy.
Then...
"Oh no……"
One last thought flashed through my mind.
Qiu Xinli lost consciousness.
