Chapter 222
Shadow was alone on the wall, constantly fine-tuning the data of the prosthetic eye, and his prosthetic eye could only maintain the lowest resolution image output.

This is a constant torture for the human brain accustomed to high-definition images.

But after an hour of hard work, the only gain for Shadow was to restore some functions of thermal imaging vision.

However, before Shadow could heave a sigh of relief, some kind of energy wave that made his heart palpitate once again centered on District [-] and swept across the entire area!
Whoa!

The last sound Shadow heard was the shattering sound of the fragile optical components of the prosthetic eye. Accompanied by a sharp pain, he passed out directly.

Another large-scale EMP attack, but this time its scale and intensity are 50.00% stronger than the previous one.

From the air, it can be seen that the area within five kilometers outside the thirteenth district is all plunged into darkness.

Even the cars driving on the road turned off and stopped motionless on the side of the road, leaving only the cursing drivers.

Outside the wall, Otto, who was handcuffed by the military police in a simple barracks, saw all the lights in the camp go out.

The truck that was driving turned off in an instant, and the drone in mid-air fell down like rain.

This also includes a drone group controlled by Ethan. At this time, Ethan and Miwako have completed the handover with Mikkelsen's people and obtained a mobile command vehicle disguised as a civilian vehicle.

But before the drone group entered the designated position, it was attacked by EMP, and Ethan finally knew why Tang Ji and the others lost contact.

In the information provided by Mikkelsen about Gaul metahumans, there are no Awakened ones with similar abilities.

So Tang Ji Neng was caught off guard.

Ethan still has dozens of spare drones in his hand, of which there are only eight transit planes dedicated to maintaining communication.

But they are useless now. Ethan roughly estimated the strength of the emp attack just now, and he was sure that all the electronic equipment equipped by Tang Ji and the others were finished.

The general was clearly prepared, and the soldiers in the camp even prepared an old wired telephone in advance.

The communications soldiers were almost laying telephone lines while studying.

Although Otto lacks the ability to fight politically and has been excluded from the real circle of power, he is not a fool.

He was very clear about his fate, the superhumans who entered the thirteenth district were nominally under the management of the ECS bureau, and he had to take responsibility.

Because of what happened today, there must be a sufficient scapegoat.

What really irritated Otto was that the Gauls apparently intended to take advantage of the disturbance for private work.

Either they plan to take the opportunity to throw in their previous pot, or they plan to add more ingredients to the pot.

For example, the continuous emp attacks came from a superhuman, and he was still working in the ECS branch. Otto didn't know anything about it.

But the military is obviously aware of this, and when the staff officer came in to report, he even directly called the other party by the code name of the oscillator.

Another clear piece of evidence is that all heavy equipment belonging to the military is staying out of range of the EMP, apparently having been warned about it.

"General, it can be confirmed that it is the oscillator himself." The staff officer handed the general a thick paper document: "The increasing degree of waveform and frequency is in line with our previous records. First oscillation."

"That is to say, from now on, we still have eight hours to complete the task?" The general's tone was a little short, obviously not as calm as he showed.

The General knows what he's fighting, and the Oscillator is a powerful metahuman hidden by the military.

His only ability is to create electromagnetic pulses, but the upper limit is very high.

When he first releases his powers, he loses consciousness completely and becomes immobile.

Then, every six to ten minutes, an electromagnetic pulse with a scale and intensity 10% stronger than the previous one was released.

If no one actively wakes it up, or moves the oscillator, he will keep repeating this process until his body can't bear it and is roasted from the inside out.

But because Oscillator is a superhuman, physically much stronger than normal humans, he would become a weapon of mass destruction before the EMP was enhanced enough to kill Oscillator himself.

The eight hours mentioned by the general does not take into account the time in the thirteenth district.

Four hours later, when the oscillator strengthens the EMP attack for the fifth time, half of the land in District [-] will become a dead zone.

If they failed to stop the Oscillator, he would have killed all of Paris' creatures in the tenth emp attack.

The electromagnetic pulse range will affect the entire Gaul, as well as some neighboring countries.

The only good news is that Oscillator's body is not strong enough to support him to complete the No.11 EMP enhancement.

"Okay, are my boys ready?" The general rubbed his eyes, like many times before, when a military plan or experiment messed up, he had to organize people to go in and wipe their asses.

At least the high-level Gaul still has the ability to organize people and wipe their own ass. The general has always been proud of this. This is definitely the capital of Gaul's ability to become the leader of the European Community of Destiny.

After all, other good neighbors have been rotten for a long time. Second-rate countries like Great Britain, not to mention the army, even returned their taxes to the former taxpayer system.

Another example is those coffee guys who can only eat noodles and drink coffee, and can't speak without sign language.

The bastards in black suits and black gloves in Sicily have won nearly half of the seats in the parliament. Even if they introduce a bill to legalize usury tomorrow, it is purely normal.

Looking at the elite soldiers assembled outside, the general can proudly declare that the future of Gaul is promising!
"I know it's dangerous inside, and those superhumans are showing off their minions wantonly." The general looked at the two hundred soldiers in front of him: "But you all know who is the real soldier! Go in, find the mission target, and solve this problem." thing!"

"Guaranteed to complete the task!" The soldiers responded loudly to the general, and then got into the military vehicle that had just been transferred from the rear and rushed into the [-]th district.

"God bless me that I won't go to hell in the future!" The general looked at the far away cannon fodder and crossed himself.

The general knew very well the strength of the Taha Gang, and what kind of monsters there were among those superhumans who suddenly went crazy.

He just hoped that these soldiers could at least support those people for a period of time, so that his real backhand could dispose of the oscillator in time.

Well, the most suitable time to deal with
After an unknown amount of time, Ying Ying finally woke up from the coma, and the unknown liquid flowing out of the prosthetic eye left tear-like marks on his face.

The world was dark, but Shadow didn't panic, he was blind for a long time.

Now, it is just deprived of the light brought by the prosthetic eye.

Shadow was once one of the best snipers in the killer business.

At his level, hard work and hard work can only guarantee his own state. What everyone competes for is talent and technical progress.

Whenever there is a new technology in the field of precision shooting, Shadow will receive invitations from related companies or laboratories.

The opportunity for him to ask for the identity of a killer also came from this. The Standard Weapons Group gave him an undeniable price and hired him to become a full-time weapons testing expert.

Shadow only learned about it later. Apart from him, there were many snipers of the same level who were pulled into the physique by the big company.

As for the reason, it is because the Crossroads Group has come up with the first generation of military prosthetic eye products, known as the ultimate solution in the field of precision shooting.

With round after round of testing, the Standard Weapons Laboratory has been recording his search target, the optic nerve data when aiming at the target, and the nerve signal data transmitted by the brain to the fingers.

However, the progress of the whole experiment is slow, and it has been lagging behind the related projects of the peers, especially the prosthetic eye project of Qilusi.

Because the sniper skills that Shadow relies on for a living rely more on intuition.

And the partner of the Crossroads Group, "Eagle Eye" Deroni has a vision that is far beyond ordinary people.

It wasn't until the last few years that the concept of superhumans became popular that Shadow realized that his competitors might all be superhumans.

But it was pointless, and Standard Weapons Laboratory, after investing a lot of money, chose to put all the eggs in one basket.

They "stealed" Shadow's eyes during an operation to implant the smart interface in the palm under the pretext, and replaced him with a pair of experimental products with immature technology, wanting to compare the data.

After waking up, Shadow fell into unparalleled anger, but through the thick bulletproof glass, he could only vent his anger on the target.

Then the accident happened, and the unstable prosthetic eyes burned Shadow's optic nerve 5 minutes after the experiment started.

If it weren't for the strong background of the middleman who introduced the cooperation between the two parties, Shadow might not even be able to get out of the laboratory.

Ultimately, Standard Weapons Labs kicked the useless cripple out of the entire program without any compensation.

It took almost a year for Shadow to get used to his new life, the life of a blind man.

In the end, under the introduction of the middleman, Yingying got a chance to accept the new technology of the Chirus Group, and transplanted a complete set of prosthetic eye products including the optic nerve.

The technical prototype of that set of prosthetic eyes is his old opponent, Hawkeye Derony. It is said that this pair of products, code-named Hawkeye, can completely simulate Derony's vision.

It was the first time Shadow saw the world from a competitor's point of view, and it was flawless.
Shadow quickly returned to the top with his own abilities and new technology, and then he avenged himself.

All the experimenters who participated in the operation, as well as the middleman, died at the gunpoint of the shadow.

Because he found that the middleman fished him out and implanted the prosthetic eye of Chelus, which was also part of the experiment.

Standard Weapons is still experimenting with this, gathering data on the Shadow.

In addition to earning two referral fees, the middleman can also earn a lot of fame.

In this day and age, there are not many middlemen who are willing to give up profits to get people from big companies.

This also led to the fact that after Shadow finally killed the middleman, the entire industry blacklisted him.

And the forces behind the middleman will also periodically issue hunting rewards for the shadows.

The reason why Shadow joined Tang Ji's team was because the Lazarus Group was willing to provide shelter.

But putting an assassin like him on the battlefield is a huge waste, and the shadows can hardly keep up with the rhythm at first.

Fortunately, Shadow learned quickly, and was enjoying it. After all, here he didn't need to analyze the target's psychology, and he didn't need to consider the evacuation route.

The only thing Tang Ji and the others asked of him was to shoot that damned bullet into the target's head at the right time.

For Shadow, this was just the easiest part of his work, and of course the risks were much greater.

Shadow's previous work did not need to consider the possibility of being bombed by missiles or being attacked by EMP.

Shadow smiled in the darkness, stood up slowly, tested the surrounding obstacles with his toes, and walked towards the location of the backpack in his memory.

The electromagnetic sniper rifle has now become a piece of scrap iron, and the shadow's secondary weapon is placed in the backpack.

A crusader submachine gun with military technology, only [-] centimeters long in the folded state, can be operated with one hand, and uses [-]mm caseless bullets.

But when Shadow fumbled to that spot, there was nothing there.

Shadow realized he was disoriented, completely forgetting which direction he had fallen when he fainted.

He didn't dare to move anymore, because this was the separation wall of the thirteenth district, and there was no protective fence installed at all.

Shadow is in a very embarrassing state at this time. Although he has experienced the stage of blindness, he has not yet trained himself to the level of Daredevil.

He was worried that he fell off the high wall by accident, and if his "old friends" heard how he died, they would most likely be laughed to death.

Shadow couldn't accept that he died so stupidly, so he used all four limbs, like a spider, constantly measuring the edge.

After 2 minutes, Shadow finally touched his backpack, but he immediately realized that his backpack had been opened.

the contents are missing
"He seems to have spotted us." A nervous female voice whispered.

"Shh! Shut up, he can't see us!" The man's voice didn't calm down much.

"Who are you?" Shadow fumbled carefully in the backpack, and there were only some scattered small things and his camouflage cloth left in it.

"We thought you were dead to take your things. It was a misunderstanding!" the man explained, but the shadow could hear a hint of danger in his voice.

The man clearly doesn't want to return what he picked up, maybe he's making up his mind to really turn himself into a corpse.

"I just want to know who you are and why you are here." Shadow took out a folding knife from the dark compartment of his backpack and held it in his hand.

"Don't tell him, he must be a government agent and came to prevent us from leaving!" The man warned the woman, and the gun in his hand was loaded instantly.

"No, he's not." A greasy voice suddenly appeared: "We are."

Then there were two gunshots, and the greasy voice spoke again: "Let me see, what did we find, a hapless corporate mercenary? Maybe I can exchange you for some money?"

"Kill him, don't waste time." Another voice said: "Our mission is to clean up everything that wants to come out of District [-], whether he is superhuman or not."
