[Breaking News: Last night, nine unidentified individuals appeared outside the military research institute of Jiangcheng Shelter No. 6, their purpose unknown. Initial suspicions point to an attempt to steal research data on non-invasive brain-computer interfaces, mechanical exoskeletons, and other scientific achievements...]
[This incident may be linked to the arson and stalking cases that occurred at Jiangcheng Shelter No. 3 on June 2nd... Among the escapees from the riot at the underground city construction site last night, 21 were criminals from the stalking case...]
[Governor Han, upon receiving the report from the military, attached great importance to the matter... A joint investigation team, composed of multiple departments including the Governor's Mansion, the military, the security department, and the police department, has been formed specifically to investigate this case...]
[We once again warn the forces behind this: the construction of the underground city is related to the future of the nation and the hope of humanity. Whether you are a citizen of Z Country or a foreign national residing in Z Country, you must abide by Z Country's martial law regulations. Violators will be severely punished!]
Hearing this news, Tang Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She hadn't expected the military to not only attach great importance to this matter but also report it to the Governor's Mansion.
Furthermore, this Holy Light organization had actually instigated the riot at the underground city construction site last night, directly running into the Governor's Mansion's crosshairs.
Now, no matter who tried to intervene, this matter should not be suppressed!
Just then, Tang Li's phone rang.
Opening it, she saw that the caller was Song Pinxuan.
Tang Li had a feeling about it, but when she answered, she still asked with feigned confusion, "Director Song, why are you calling me so early?"
"Miss Tang, have you seen the news?" Song Pinxuan asked.
"I have."
As Tang Li spoke, she asked with concern, "I heard that nine unidentified individuals appeared outside your laboratory. Is everything alright?"
Song Pinxuan chuckled, "Nothing serious happened."
"We don't know what these people went through, but they committed suicide by poison outside the research institute. They didn't engage in any firefight with the personnel on duty at the institute."
"However, these individuals were also equipped with mechanical exoskeletons and brain-computer interfaces, and they were invasive ones at that, capable of editing memories and even directly inputting skills into the human brain."
"We cannot determine their combat capabilities at the moment. But Miss Tang, you need to be more careful when you go out in the future."
Upon hearing this, Tang Li couldn't bring herself to say that she was the one who had defeated them, so she simply agreed with a smile.
However, Tang Li finally understood why their bodies were not strong, nor had they trained in R Country's martial arts since childhood, yet they could execute those moves, albeit stiffly.
Even though they couldn't defeat Tang Li, they still had an advantage against ordinary people.
In fact, even those who practiced traditional martial arts since childhood, if they lacked stamina, might not be able to defeat them.
Practicing traditional martial arts since childhood required years of arduous training to achieve such combat prowess.
Whereas the Holy Light organization could mass-produce these suicide attackers from ordinary people.
It was possible that these suicide attackers were not brainwashed through traditional methods, but rather their memories and thoughts were altered through invasive brain-computer interfaces, leading to their fervent loyalty to the Holy Light organization.
After discussing this matter, as he was about to hang up, Song Pinxuan added, "Miss Tang, the first combat mecha is nearing completion. If you have time tomorrow, you can come to the Military Research Institute."
Tang Li was delighted to hear this, "That's wonderful!"
"We have a mission coming up the day after tomorrow. Getting the combat mecha tomorrow will significantly boost our team's combat effectiveness."
