All of us are one

Chapter 50 Lack of Martial Morality

Inside the factory buildings in the industrial park.

The office lights suddenly went out, and the humming sound of the microcomputer cooling system stopped.

Jiang Yanming looked at all this, a faint smile appearing on his face: "They've finally arrived."

When he picked up his phone to check, he noticed the wallpaper had changed, so he used the white arm protector to access his hidden email account.

"Unseemly? That really suits his personality." Jiang Yanming sighed and shook his head. If there weren't so many troubles, he wouldn't mind giving Eric a few more chances. "Hopefully, this lesson will teach him a lesson, otherwise..."

With that in mind, Jiang Yanming tidied up the things in the room. Apart from the small box containing the aircraft, he put most of the items, including the micro supercomputer, into his storage ring. He didn't even leave any trash behind.

After all, his work is in a gray area, and if someone finds something wrong with him, it will inevitably cause some trouble, and he hates trouble the most!

"I'll take a shower and rest for a bit before I go greet my senior brother."

Jiang Yanming got up and left the factory, then went to a small hotel outside and booked a room to take a shower.

After half an hour.

Jiang Yanming emerged from the small hotel and strolled leisurely toward the industrial park, clutching a protective jade talisman he had crafted himself, wary of any potential attack.

However, the attack he had anticipated did not occur. He returned to the bustling industrial park and saw many workers lingering there due to the power outage.

"They're not here yet? There are just too many people."

Jiang Yanming looked around and saw that many workers were still lingering in the park, seemingly waiting for the power to be restored so they could continue working. He then understood what was going on.

The clashes between cyber hackers are not limited to the bloodless online world, but also extend to offline battles fought with drones.

Based on Jiang Yanming's understanding of Eric, if Eric wanted to reclaim "Light and Shadow," he wouldn't just aim to defeat him online; he would do the same offline.

Although the Republic of Ramos is poor, it still attracts the attention of the Four Nations Alliance and others. If innocent people are harmed in crowded places, the subsequent consequences are something that most cyborgs or cyber hackers would not want to bear.

"You think you can defeat me by making modifications?" Jiang Yanming chuckled, preparing to return to the factory to rest for two or three hours.

Based on his understanding of Eric, the other party would most likely arrive at night and then engage in a hacker-versus-machine duel with him.

But Eric could never have imagined that the current Jiang Yanming was not the one he remembered!

……

night.

The sky was overcast, obscuring the moon and plunging the entire park into darkness.

Because the power system has not yet been restored and the repair is quite difficult, the entire park will be closed for three days, at least that's the notification the workers in the park received.

"Jiang, come out." Eric's voice rang out from outside the factory. "There's nobody in the entire park right now, and I've had my security personnel transferred."

Inside the factory building.

Hearing the noise outside, Jiang Yanming got up, picked up the small box containing the aircraft, and walked out of the factory with a calm expression.

"Jiang, this time I will definitely take back 'Light and Shadow'!"

Eric stood outside the factory, his eyes glowing faintly red, staring intently at Jiang Yanming as he walked out of the factory. With the implanted visual module, he could see in the dark.

However, to be more precise, his attention was focused on the box in Jiang Yanming's hand, rather than Jiang Yanming himself.

"Eric, do you know what the teacher said to me before he handed 'Light and Shadow' to me?" Jiang Yanming squatted down and opened the box.

"What did your uncle say?" Eric's eyes flashed red.

A slight buzzing sound arose, and an object resembling a black bird hovered beside him.

"My teacher said, if you want to kill me, I can kill you. If you just want to beat me, I hope I can give you a few more chances." Jiang Yanming remained half-squatting, calmly asking, "Counting this time, how many times have you proactively caused me trouble?"

"The seventh time," Eric said confidently, "but this time, I'm sure to win!"

"You won't win this time either," Jiang Yanming said calmly, taking something out of the box. "Besides, this is my last chance for you."

"Jiang! Are you out of your mind?!" Eric's expression changed drastically when he saw what Jiang Yanming took out of the box, his eyes glowing red.

Jiang Yanming was seen holding a rocket in one hand and aiming it at the ground with the warhead pointing downwards.

boom!

As the rocket in Jiang Yanming's hand made contact with the ground, an explosion suddenly rang out.

Protected by an invisible force, Jiang Yanming was not harmed in the slightest by the fragments of the rocket. The electronic pulse spread in all directions along with the explosion fragments.

"what!"

Eric was less than ten meters from the center of the explosion when he was instantly affected by the electronic pulse. He screamed in agony, his body convulsed involuntarily, and a faint electrical sound rang out inside his body.

In preparation for his battle with Jiang Yanming, he activated multiple modules in advance, with the flying device "Black Wing" on standby at all times.

However, as he was affected by the electronic pulse wave, the activated module immediately stopped working. He could still tolerate the nerve pain, but he did not expect the visual module to malfunction, causing him to go blind.

Meanwhile, the hovering aircraft "Black Wing" was struck by an electronic pulse at close range, causing it to emit sparks and crash to the ground with a "bang".

"Jiang, you bastard!" Eric covered his face with one hand and pointed at the empty space with the other.

"I'm here," Jiang Yanming reminded him.

Eric adjusted his finger, pointing it at Jiang Yanming and angrily said, "Are you still a cyber hacker? How could you use an electronic pulse rocket?!"

"Why can't I use it? I'm not a cyborg." Jiang Yanming shook his head and sighed. "What's so good about cyborgs? One electronic pulse can cripple you, and in the end, I'll have to take you back to the Four Nations Alliance."

"You have no martial ethics..." Eric was so angry he couldn't speak.

If he had known that Jiang Yanming would resort to such tactics, wouldn't he have avoided making such a public appearance and instead acted covertly?

"Eric, I don't have time for games with you. This is your last chance." Jiang Yanming slowly walked to Eric's side and calmly whispered in his ear, "If there's a next time, I'll kill you!"

Eric was stunned. Although his visual module was damaged and he couldn't see, he could still sense the killing intent in Jiang Yanming's calm words.

If he opposes Jiang Yanming again, he will be killed without mercy!

Suddenly, Eric lost his balance and fell to the ground before he could react.

Immediately afterwards...

Whoosh—Bang!

The whooshing sound of bullets flying through the air and the dull thud of bullets hitting the ground rang in Eric's ears one after another.

"What's going on?" Eric felt his body being dragged rapidly.

Jiang Yanming dragged Eric with one hand and ran at lightning speed as if he could not feel the weight. In a second or two, they were outside the bullet ray and used the factory wall as cover.

"Looks like you're doing well; your employer even sent someone to 'protect' you," Jiang Yanming sneered. "It's just that the 'bodyguard's' marksmanship isn't very good; that shot just now looked like it was aimed at you."

"Foreigners have no integrity!" Eric muttered under his breath.

Jiang Yanming chuckled upon hearing this, thinking to himself, "That's a demon; what credibility does it have?"

"Just stay here and don't cause any more trouble. I'll clean up your mess from now on," Jiang Yanming solemnly reminded him. "Remember, this is the last time I'll spare you, and the last time I'll help you."
