My Right Hand Allows Me to Merge Thousands of Races-Chapter 63 - 60: Courting Death

...

Headquarters building, entrance.

A flying car came gliding in, hovering three feet above the ground, motionless.

Jinghai City, whether in the Outer City District or Inner City District, all streets have strict speed limit regulations.

Outside the city, you can speed as you please, no one cares, but inside the city, speedsters are a prime target for the Public Security Bureau.

Civilian vehicles are prohibited from activating the anti-gravity system, or the propellantless propulsion system within the city. Once discovered, it will be handled as "reckless driving."

Maybe other advanced Self-looping Cities allow it, but not in Jinghai City.

Clearly, the specs of this flying car aren’t "civilian."

This is an extended black luxury vehicle, with an exterior made from high-hardness and high-toughness special metals, and equipped with a deflective shield system inside the vehicle.

This deflective shield can withstand intense assaults from non-heavy kinetic weapons and particle beam weapons, considered indestructible, with superior protective performance!

Once the car door opened, four men dressed in three-piece black suits stepped down, forming two columns, standing valiantly.

Inside the building, over sixty armed individuals also surged out, forming a neat lineup at the entrance.

One after another, tall exoskeleton armors, showing a formidable entourage. Fully enclosed mechanical power suits reflecting a cold metallic sheen under nighttime lights.

The guards stood tall and straight, welcoming him with a corridor.

Xu Tanqing, embraced by the crowd, smiled as he stepped down from the car; he was handsome, with a warm, elegant temperament, hair perfectly groomed, dressed in exquisite high-end formal attire, possessing an extraordinary presence.

Raising his hand, carefully adjusting his apparel, Xu Tanqing was about to take a step toward the main building when he suddenly heard a burst of commotion from far behind him.

At the outer gate entrance, it was packed with a large, black mass of people.

Mostly local voters who supported him, many reporters, and even more people further away gradually coming this way.

Like a celebrity chase scene!

"Ah! Councillor Xu! I love you!"

"Give me an autograph, our family, three generations with eight people, are all your staunch supporters!"

"You are a perfect good man, only you are worthy of the new Speaker position!"

"All our votes are for you, keep it up!"

"We believe you can lead Jinghai City to a bright future... say a few words, Councillor Xu!"

"Please, take a photo with me!"

...

These Zone 3 voters were all loyal followers of Xu Tanqing; in the depth of night, they could chase to this place, showing how fanatical, crazy they were!

After all, not just anyone can partake in the new Speaker election; this requires burning a lot of money.

The Xu Family invests tens of billions each year without fail, how could there be no effect?

These supporters’ "purity" is extremely high, inside and out transformed into the shape of Councillor Xu.

Seeing this, Xu Tanqing quickly revealed a sunny, kind smile, turned to the crowd, and waved, intending to walk over.

But was stopped by a hand.

"Boss, there are too many people, it’s unsafe," said a man in a suit beside him in a deep voice, "Master Dutch is not here, let’s return to the base, don’t mind them."

"Impertinent, don’t teach me to conduct!" Xu Tanqing maintained his smile, his expression sunny and gentle, yet his tone filled with a grim, ruthless edge, "How could I let my lovely supporters feel cold-hearted? If you can’t even guarantee this level of security, why do I need you useless people?"

He was able to reprimand his subordinates coldly, without altering his facial expression, maintaining the smile.

This performance is by no means inferior to the acting of entertainment industry best actors.

Having said that, Xu Tanqing walked toward the outer gate, his gestures graceful, reflected in the excited and fervent eyes of the voters, the crowd became even more enthusiastic and fervent!

"Thank you for your support, I am overwhelmed by the favor, let me say a few words simply..."

...

Main building, in an inconspicuous corner, half a skull emerged from the wall.

Of course, ordinary people cannot see it.

"Damn it, no chance given!"

Lu Xun stared closely at Xu Tanqing from afar, cursed under his breath.

He had just carefully checked Xu Tanqing’s surrounding security forces.

Sixty-four armed guards dressed in power suits.

The combat power should be similar to Wansheng Security Company’s "Red Eye," roughly at Middle and High Levels.

But that time, there were only seven enemies; Lu Xun, though victorious, was left heavily injured, his body marked by hundreds of wounds from electromagnetic rifle strikes.

Not to mention, these sixty-four only represented the part welcoming Xu Tanqing, not the headquarters’ entire forces.

Around headquarters, inside the main building, at least another one to two hundred guards on duty, patrolling, vigilant.

Also, at the office door previously encountered, those twelve elite warriors equipped even more highly, still unseen...

Lu Xun conservatively estimates there are nearly three hundred troops inside and outside this base!

Even too many ants can bite an elephant to death.

Moreover.

The four close-fitting male bodyguards in black suits... should be the "Special-level Warriors" mentioned when spying earlier.

The enemy’s overall strength is too strong.

Although Lu Xun has considerably enhanced his strength compared to before, it’s still not enough for him alone to kill a councillor protected by hundreds of armed personnel.

Even if you completely disregard the guards and bodyguards, does Xu Tanqing have any special means of self-protection?

Surely, he does!

Therefore, assassination is very difficult, let alone attempting a direct kill.

"Looks like...there’s no chance tonight..."

Lu Xun surveyed once more but still could not find an entry point.

He could only shake his head regretfully.

"Forget it, I’ll go back and strengthen myself once again, improve, and then return to take his dog life!"

He muttered to himself, preparing to sneak away.

BOOM!!!

Suddenly, there was a breathtaking explosion in the distance, flames shot to the sky!

What happened?!

Lu Xun was shocked. He quickly looked intently, only to find chaos on the scene. The exceedingly protective luxury vehicle Xu Tanqing arrived in had exploded!

The terrifying shock wave sent six or seven people nearby flying!

Clearly, something big had happened!

Screams, shouts, and angry roars erupted—

"Ah!!"

"There’s an assassin! Protect the councillor!"

"Where’s the assassin? Where? Report the position!!"

...

Xu Tanqing’s face turned grave, and a vicious shade surged in his eyes.

His body was wrapped in layers of visible energy shields.

Altogether there were five layers, semi-transparent spherical, each showing different colors, like five soap bubbles of different hues overlapped, protecting him in the center.

"Find him!"

Xu Tanqing snarled ferociously, issuing orders.

Just 2.5 seconds ago, as he was signing autographs for "fans," his protective force field device suddenly detected danger and activated automatically.

Then his vehicle exploded with a boom, almost simultaneously, a tremendously sharp blade light followed right behind, slashing at the shield.

The shield absorbed all kinetic energy, creating ripples.

But the attacker was nowhere to be seen!

It was as though they had encountered a ghost!

The assassin had come prepared, mingled within a crowd of hardcore supporters on-site, infiltrated, first using a bomb to blow up and destroy the councillor’s vehicle from the inside to prevent him from retreating back into the car.

Then attacked!

Yet none of the guards present ever saw the assassin’s figure...

"It’s optical camouflage; the assassin is imperceptible!" Beside Xu Tanqing, a special-level warrior turned and yelled to a technician not far away holding a portable electronic device, "Activate the anti-stealth electronic detection system, locate him!"

Buzz—

As the words fell, a blade flashed sharply.

A crimson line appeared on the technician’s neck.

Instantly, his gaze became dull, his head rolled off with a "gulu," the neck severed cleanly, spraying a torrent of blood, and the headless corpse staggered and fell with a thud.

However, there was more than one technician present.

While the assassin killed, the anti-stealth equipment was activated on the other side!

Whirring~

Invisible electromagnetic waves swept across at the speed of light, and based on the pulse echo feedback, this high-tech anti-stealth electronic equipment immediately locked onto the target, automatically breached and decrypted the optical camouflage suit’s nano system!

On the open ground, the assassin’s invisibility effect rapidly faded away, first revealing a semi-transparent outline, and in the blink of an eye, he was completely exposed to the public.

He was tall, mightily built, with strong and muscular forearms from which emerged two bizarrely curved folding blades!

The two folding blades were extraordinarily long, capable of extending and retracting, resembling the front limbs of a mantis, with blood-stained edges gleaming coldly, reflecting an awe-inspiring chill.

"Zhang Xinghai?!!"

Xu Tanqing froze for a moment, then his face twisted, his eyes turned viciously fierce, and he laughed angrily:

"A runaway cur with nowhere to go, yet dares to come back to die?!"

"I indeed came to die."

Zhang Xinghai’s face was firm, his voice deep.

He flicked the blood off his blade, eyes burning with rage, staring intently at Xu Tanqing, issuing a beast-like roar:

"But it’s to send you to death!!"
