Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Chapter 423: Chapter 378 Quick Blade Cuts Through Mess

Tao Yu glanced at Parker and Miles, who were still in a coma, and frowned.

“This differs a bit from the original plan…”

It could be said that Pavas’s arrival had disrupted some of Tao Yu’s initial plans.

He had intended to infiltrate the RDA base first, and then he would have been able to act freely.

While those with High Spiritual Perception among high-level individuals might be able to detect abilities like Shadow Evasion, in front of these ordinary individuals without powerful abilities, it was a divine technique that could be used at will.

The RDA employees were not warriors who would fight to the death; it was normal for them to surrender if they couldn’t win, so as long as he successfully entered the base, it could become Tao Yu’s own territory. Taking control of the command level and solving the problem here alone was not impossible.

Or rather, he himself was the optimal solution for the RDA’s Development Zone team.

However, after the situation with Pavas arose, Tao Yu still felt a bit of pressure.

Unlike last time, when Han Ya sneaked over by himself and no one knew what he did, the trajectory of Pavas was quite clear this time.

If he showed himself off at the base again, if not outright locking onto himself, being put on the suspect list was certain…

“The Suns are no pushovers, I can use Pavas, who’s playing both sides, as a stepping stone, and there’s no reason I should be the one who’s afraid!”

In the end, Tao Yu made a decision to come forthrightly, which was a testament to a clear conscience!

Without killing Parker and Miles, Tao Yu directly slipped into the shadows and dashed at high speed toward his own resting quarters.

In Starshine City, he was a powerhouse in his own right!

There was no need to be overly cautious in everything and choke over trifles!

Why should I worry?

It was enough to make the enemies more worried!

“However, my strength is indeed still lacking; I need to find a way to quickly enhance my abilities.”

In the Development Zone, whom should I fear?

I won’t promote it actively, but if it turns out that it was me who did the killing, then it was me!

As long as I’m not dead, I shouldn’t worry too much about my family, and besides, the Suns would surely protect their own asset.

But now there’s a concern: it seems that because of the Development Zone issue, the Suns have made some enemies.

“There are probably others stirring up trouble behind the scenes. I used to think that the Suns gained a lot of prestige in both the mechanical enhancement and cultivation systems with the advent of Inner Strength and Unobtainium, but now it seems that sometimes such prestige isn’t necessarily a good thing…”

Tao Yu, after all, had read many books; history is a repeating record, with traceable patterns!

If the second and third in line are inexplicably suffering heavy losses, it’s either the work of the Suns or the overlord feeling threatened.

And now, oh snap, the Suns have become number two.

“The Starshine family…”

Thinking about the ‘Star’ family, which ranked first in Starshine City, Tao Yu’s expression became somewhat solemn.

From what he understood, the Star family had mastered some of the ‘Illusion Technique’ and also held control over the Flame of Civilization, the symbol of Starshine City, and they were the face of Starshine City internationally.

Beyond its ability to dispel the grey haze, the Flame of Civilization likely has other marvelous uses.

In any case, the ‘Star’ family has always been the undisputed number one, with an aloof status and not involved in the lower conflicts.

While families like the Suns put effort into the Development Zone, investing resources to vie for it, the Star family just sits back and watches stably.

This time, through Pavas, he heard not even a whisper of news about the Star family, but Tao Yu didn’t need evidence; by his own conviction, he felt there was something dubious about the Star family.

“Otherwise, the rich lady wouldn’t be saying the worst case is to abandon everything in this life; they must have noticed something early on. But now that they’ve been put in this position, they probably don’t have much of a choice…”

The other families show no issues?

They likely can see them, too, but everyone harbors some hope that it won’t be them next, or when it’s their turn to be number two, they’ll stay content in that position.

Even when the Suns rose to power, they probably had the same thought…

“I hope I can buy more time, Starshine family… I’ll hammer you into a Meteor family.”

Tao Yu moved swiftly through the dappled shadows and upon entering the sensing range, immediately switched places with the Water Clone Technique he had left behind, returning to the isolation bay that resembled a space capsule bed.

He heard a steady narration in his ears, while memories from the duration his water clone had been active began to download.

“…We at RDA are committed to creating a new ecosystem on this planet, to survive on this world. Currently, we have forged a defensive and offensive alliance with the indigenous Na’vi people of Pandora, and looking ahead…”

The introduction regarding RDA was still being broadcast, as well as their current operations on Pandora Planet.

The present challenges, future hopes, and directions.

With RDA’s level of technology, AI-generated introduction videos could be quite comprehensive.

Tao Yu, however, ignored all this and began to pull open the door, approaching Kisame.

Kisame had used a transformation technique to make some adjustments to appear more like a normal human, though even with the changes, his appearance was rather ugly.

“Mr. Tao.”

Kisame was very polite upon seeing Tao Yu.

Other people approached as well.

“I’ve decided to use force to subdue the RDA base leadership, forcing them to comply completely, to achieve a de facto alliance. I will arrange for each of you to be responsible for different areas,” Tao Yu said to them quickly using a covert method of communication, to relay his next moves.

Due to the incident with Pavas, he was ready to make a quick and decisive move at the RDA base.

He would then use the wireless communication here to get in touch with the wealthy young lady.

For Tao Yu, it had always been a matter of staying hidden if possible, and facing the music if not, no big deal!

But now with Pavas having a one-time teleportation device, who knows if others have it too?

Luckily, such devices have a high energy demand and can’t be used at will.

However, no one can guarantee that there isn’t an appropriate power source elsewhere!

Take the Pacific Rim world, for example. They might not have an operational controlled fusion engine like Pioneer Star, but who’s to say they can’t build something similar with weapon-grade fission materials through sheer quantity.

And then there’s the Tailed Beasts from Hidden Mist Village.

“There’s no such thing as a thief-proof day. Perhaps the Suns sending a top expert strong enough to dominate the scene over here would be one way to deal with it.”

Tao Yu sighed; the Suns surely had something similar.

But for the Suns, they had already gained military superiority in the new Development Zone, so there was no need to spend a large cost to bring people over, since they were the defending side.

Although the Suns were powerful, there certainly wasn’t an endless supply of top experts, especially those strong enough to stand alone and control the situation.

Having one dispatched would mean one less in another needed area, and others could also make targeted arrangements against the incoming expert…

“That’s for the wealthy young lady to consider. I’ll solve the problems here first,” he said.

Having made his decision, Tao Yu looked at his crew and issued the related orders; two squads, each responsible for a designated area.

The experienced Jonin leading the teams were more than capable of causing distractions and drawing attention.

“…Remember, your own safety comes first. Under the premise of ensuring your safety, try to kill less. Wait for my command from the control tower to order their surrender, then cooperate from outside to disarm them.”

“Understood!”

“Dismissed.”

At Tao Yu’s command, the group immediately began to move quickly and disperse.

It was only moments after they had vanished like shadows that the RDA base’s alarms began to sound loudly…

…

The red alert lights kept flashing within the base’s command center.

“What’s going on? Where are Parker and Colonel Miles? Haven’t they arrived yet?”

Grace, who had always been at the base, hastened to the control room upon hearing the alarm.

She was an important figure at RDA, a member of the Avatar project, and also an outstanding plant scientist, who had already perceived the ‘neural network’ of the plants and the presence of Eva.

Although Grace didn’t have much actual power, her position at the base was very high. With Parker and Miles missing, her authority was undoubtedly substantial.

“Dr. Grace, those new survivors we just brought in have disappeared; they’re ninjas, they moved so fast!”

The guy in charge of surveillance had a look of fear on his face.

They always thought that Miles tended to make a big deal out of nothing, but this time they really encountered a problem.

“How is that possible? Didn’t they pass the inspection? Sully took them, didn’t he?”

“I don’t know, we’re pulling up the previous footage— they weren’t inspected…”

“Sully! Where’s Sully?”

Grace roared.

At that moment, Sully was nearby, walking over curiously.

“What’s up, doctor?”

His face was still full of confusion; he had no idea what had happened.

“No need to wonder, he was under my Illusion Technique, so he was unaware.”

The voice that came over the control room chilled the staff to the bone.

Because of the ninjas, their base’s defenses were very strict, with various identification points and automated weapons all along the way. Even inside, there was a squad of exoskeleton soldiers.

But with the appearance of the voice, the soldiers had no time to react before they were immobilized with pressure point techniques from afar.

The autonomous weapons along the way were as if they were nothing, easily bypassed by Tao Yu.

Tao Yu’s abilities were inherently convenient for dealing with the situation at the RDA side.

“Parker and Miles were lured away by you guys, you’re not trustworthy!”

Grace still had that old-fashioned researcher’s spirit, and even though Tao Yu was right in front of her, she still expressed her indignance.

“Not at all, that was the base’s decision. I came from another direction, as you know. Now, you have only two choices, surrender, or death…”

Tao Yu spoke lightly, without any murderous intent, and even with a smile on his face.

But as he finished his words, everyone present felt an immense psychological pressure, a heavy burden on their shoulders that made them not doubt the determination behind his words!

Who would choose death when life is an option?

They were, after all, just a bunch of workers; it didn’t really matter whom they worked for…
