Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Serendipity and Pranks
The waiting time for the vote was quite long, but Bronie set a deadline, which happened to be about the time to break Cocolia's legs and then head home.
The weather outside is clear now, but the temperature remains very low.
However, since there weren't many people in the forest, Bronie and Cioara, who didn't mind the cold, didn't bother dressing up.
Cioara still wore a black cloak, resembling a super cool assassin.
As for Bronie...
Bronie was afraid of the cold, so she projected herself in a snow sniper outfit.
"Should I get another mask, at least to look like a tough bandit?"
"Come on, is that necessary? She's just a small warlord. Do you really need to hide your identity like this? Besides, didn't you leave a backdoor in the Schicksal OS comprehensive monitoring system? All unfavorable information related to you will be blocked, right?"
Cioara didn't quite understand Bronie's idea of wanting to hide her identity very throughly.
Bronie just felt that knocking someone out and concealing her face a bit was just common sense, right?
But now, it doesn't matter.
Yes, it doesn't matter.
Now Cocolia is just a small fry, even if she causes a commotion, she can't make any scenes anywhere.
Even if she really wants to take action, World Serpent is watching her. Once there is any action, Bronie will immediately notice.
By then, Bronie will just confront her directly and empty Cocolia's family background, leaving her with nothing to run her orphanage and using the children from the orphanage for experiments.
"Five watchtowers, three hidden sentries, not many electronic devices, even the weapons are relatively traditional mechanical kinetic weapons, with no signs of electronic warfare devices. The metal detector didn't detect any mines as well. The guard force here is weaker than I imagined. Is this reasonable?"
"Being poor is like this, what else can you expect? But mechanical kinetic weapons are just basically old-fashioned rifles, which aren't enough to deal with Honaki Beasts except for ordinary people."
With that, Cioara took out the binoculars handed to her by Bronie and carefully observed the warehouse.
Yes, on the surface, this is a warehouse under a factory, but in fact, it stores not only a pile of weapons but also a whole box of gold!
This is the intelligence Cioara obtained from the World Serpent.
However, this kind of intelligence is inferred indirectly. Recently, a large amount of gold has been purchased on the market, and most of the buyers have some connection with Cocolia.
So this was the result obtained by the World Serpent's intelligence personnel.
"Anything else you discovered?"
Bronie looked at Cioara.
"I've spotted the target, Cocolia, right? This woman's body is quite healthy. Even though it's sunny now, doesn't she feel cold showing her chest?"
Cioara's focus was a bit strange.
Due to this, Bronie also projected a pair of binoculars and began to observe the pair of melons as well.
"Tsk tsk tsk, even if she does livestreaming, she can make a lot of money, right? Why bother with weapons... wait, a car is coming, it looks like Cocolia's guests are here!"
If it weren't for an important meeting, how could Cioara possibly find out that Cocolia was here?
So, to ensure that Cocolia can be found steadily next, Bronie quietly waited for Cocolia to finish her business first.
The armored convoy slowly approached, and at Cocolia's command, several soldiers opened the iron gate.
The atmosphere at the scene became serious.
After the convoy stopped, many soldiers tightly gripped their guns and watched the armored vehicles vigilantly.
Then, a group of soldiers dressed in black combat uniforms, looking like elite warriors, walked out of the front and rear of the vehicles, surrounding the vehicle in the middle.
The door of the middle car opened, and figures in red and blue walked out.
"Oh, this is quite interesting."
"What, what's wrong?"
Hearing Bronie's sudden reaction, Cioara immediately felt something was wrong.
"Famed Einstein and Tesla, can you believe it? The ones meeting Cocolia are actually the executors of Anti-Entropy. It seems that Cocolia has found a way to contact the organization against the Honkai. She plans to join Anti-Entropy and use its resources to achieve her evil plan."
"No wonder she brought so much gold. Was it for smooth co-operation?"
Cioara was also shocked. She had never expected that joining Anti-Entropy would require so much money. This amount of gold is not a small sum. If based on normal person's living expenses, it would last for generations.
"There are also populations, soldiers, and connections; all of these are Cocolia's advantages. Anti-Entropy needs soldiers to control mechs, so there must be certain channels, and Cocolia probably proposed conditions in this regard..."
Thinking of Einstein being here, Bronie mobilized her drones to be vigilant.
"What are you doing?"
"If it's Einstein and Tesla, then we have to be careful of any high-tech gadgets they have. There must be drones and Titan mechs, so I'm trying to avoid being detected directly."
"Why didn't you say so earlier!"
Cioara opened the stealth function of her armor, which was obviously much more convenient than Bronie's drones.
Then something seemed to fly by in the air.
But it didn't linger above their heads.
"I didn't expect you to be quite familiar with them?"
"I'm just being cautious. It's you who's a bit slow. Is it because your brain is still on vacation?"
"Hmph, it's because you're too relaxed. If it were just me, even if it were just Cocolia, I would still activate the stealth mode."
Cioara didn't want to admit she was abit slow, so she just came up with an excuse.
"Forget about that. It seems that Einstein and Tesla haven't found our traces, and they're officially starting the deal."
"Gold..."
Cioara's gaze was fixed on the huge suitcase next to Cocolia.
Without a doubt, this heavy box definitely contained a lot of gold.
If this gold were converted into money, how much of the loan for buying an island could she pay off?
At least she could skip struggling for two or three years!
"I know you're tempted. After they come out, we'll just rob them. But we can't let Cocolia, that vixen, off. Don't forget our original plan."
"Deal with the guards, disrupt Cocolia's lackeys, warn them, and then take over the orphanage."
"Now there's an additional side mission, which is robbing the money. Let's go, let's make a big move! That's the real challenge!"
Bronie jumped down from the tree, shaking off the snow on her body, while Cioara continued to move silently through the trees.
In the distance, it seemed that Cocolia and Einstein were not having a pleasant conversation, but in the end, they shook hands and reached some sort of agreement.
At the same time, a huge Titan robot appeared next to Einstein, gently lifting the box containing the gold and then opening it for inspection.
After confirming the gift for Anti-Entropy, Tesla seemed to want to say something else, but was pulled back into the car by Einstein.
Finally, Einstein handed Cocolia the suitcase she had brought herself, handed it to Cocolia, and got into her own car.
Cocolia ordered her men to make way, and the convoy set off again, leaving this remote warehouse.
Anti-Entropy also left this time.
But as they retraced their steps, there was a huge tree blocking the road ahead.
The roots of the tree seemed to have been violently broken by something, blocking the road and preventing the convoy from advancing.
At this moment, the soldiers of Anti-Entropy were immediately on alert, with everyone raising their guns, wary of potential enemies around.
They had only been here for a short time, so why did a roadblock suddenly appear?
"Hey, what's going on?"
In the car, Tesla also noticed the situation outside.
Subconsciously, she turned to ask Einstein, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
"Do you remember the intelligence we received earlier, someone deliberately investigating Cocolia's information?"
"Can investigating Cocolia lead them to us?"
"It should be related to that gold."
"Huh? Are they looking down on us? Do they think we're easy to rob, so they're targeting us?"
"Probably, because they couldn't find out our identities, they judged that we weren't too strong. Or maybe they knew our identities, so they attacked. My AI assistant didn't detect any lurking enemies around before..."
Einstein suddenly felt something was wrong.
Could it be that Cocolia, that old fox, wanted to play dirty and stab them in the back?
"Regardless of who they are, just make all the Titans turn them into scrap! Where are the enemies?"
"They haven't shown up yet, so I won't make the Titans visible for now.
...Hmm?"
Suddenly, Einstein noticed that the onboard computer in the car seemed to stutter for a moment, but then returned to normal.
"Attack! We're under attack! Ah!"
The attack came suddenly, soldiers fell one after another, but there was no sound of gunfire.
Whooosh!
Finally, an arrow suddenly pierced through the car window, almost messing up Einstein's hair.
"What the hell! Arrows?! Is it Schicksal Valkyries?"
"Even if it's the Valkyries of Schicksal, it's impossible to use arrows to penetrate bulletproof glass. This enemy is not ordinary! Ans they've found us!"
Saying that, Einstein summoned the control panel, and a huge robot descended beside the car, blocking the arrows that were coming next.
Several black feathered arrows were embedded in the Titan's armor, emitting a sizzling heat. Just as Tesla wondered if the arrows had any special effects, suddenly the car began to shake like a giant pendulum in an amusement park.
"What's going on? Mophead, if you can't control the Titan, let me do it!"
"No, it's a hacker! The other party has directly hacked into the operating system, taken control, and even launched an attack on our car!"
Einstein now understood that the other party was really targeting them!
Was this reasonable?
So many Titans lost control, and then one was directly controlled to overturn the armored vehicle.
Fortunately, the car was sturdy enough, but at this moment, Einstein felt like a fish on the chopping block, completely powerless.
A huge despair enveloped Einstein's heart.
Was her life going to end here?
"Ding~ Bunny Anti-Scam Reminder: When choosing a partner, it's best not to choose a cunning partner than yourself~"
The Titan's fist smashed the car window, Tesla let out an indescribable scream, but Einstein heard a voice coming from the onboard computer.
"Who are you?"
Einstein tried to keep calm and had already sent out a distress signal. It wouldn't be long before Anti-Entropy's entire army came to protect them.
At least before the rescue team arrived, they had to delay as much as possible.
"Now is not the time to discuss these things. I hereby unilaterally announce that your cooperation with Cocolia ends here. You surely wouldn't want to cooperate with someone who experiments with children using Honkai, right? So this is just a little warning. Next time, you won't be so lucky to see Cocolia in person."
The Titan raised its index finger, pointed at Tesla, shook it, then picked up the large box next to Tesla and checked it.
After confirming that it was indeed Cocolia's gold, it left directly.
It was as if the whole thing had been a false alarm.
The black feathered arrows had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a hole in the car window, letting in a chilling breeze.
"Damn it! **, **, *****! She actually used our mech to humiliate us! Who does she think she is?! **! If we hadn't relaxed our guard, would you still dare to be so arrogant, **! If you have the guts, don't run away! Let me, the army of Anti-Entropy, I'll turn your whole family into ashes..."
Boom!
The car was heavily hit by the Titan, and Tesla was too spooked to speak.l because of it.
"Tesla, our control system itself has a firewall, and it can even bypass the AI firewall set up by my Eins. This is not an ordinary enemy."
"Yeah, we're unlucky. It seems that they're really targeting the vixen?"
"But she also knows our true identities, and would Cocolia, who experiments on children with Honkai, do such a thing... What kind of reasoning is this?"
Of course, Einstein didn't know about Cocolia's behavior, because when she sought legitimate partners, she only wanted to find enough soldiers and manpower to join Anti-Entropy and enough connections to develop Anti-Entropy'¢ influence, counteracting Schicksal's.
She just didn't expect that before she cooperated with her, Cocolia seemed to have been in contact with another organization fighting against Honkai, and was discovered to have done dirty deeds in the dark?
Was justice really that outspoken nowadays?
"If what they said is true, then that vixen deserves to die! Forget it, we're unlucky. Let's wait for the rescue team to come. I'll go check the damage outside."
Tesla struggled to get out of the car, only to see that all the mechs had turned into scrap metal, while the soldiers were sleeping peacefully.
Looking at the mess in front of her, Tesla couldn't help but want to spew profanities.
She wanted to curse the attacker's entire family.
The other party had strong power, knew a lot of intelligence, and didn't have much hostility.
When these judgments appeared in Tesla's mind, she felt like she had been played.
Who were the attackers who assaulted them?
At least one thing was certain, they weren't from Schicksal.
