GOR Chapter 517 Let Us Cooperate

When Gibbs ran out from the yacht like building, Chen Xiaolian was nearly incapable of recognizing him.

Back in the control room, Gibbs was wearing an Angel Corps uniform – it was something similar to the military uniform seen in sci-fi movies. Presently however, Gibbs was in combat gear.

It was a composite armoured exoskeleton suit – the configuration done on the suit was very thorough. Exoskeleton armour had been placed over the key joints of the exoskeleton suit. Additionally, energy materials and breastplates were placed on both the chest and the back.

Weapons were installed onto the waist and legs part of the suit. Moreover, he also wore an [A] class protective suit over the armoured exoskeleton suit.

Appearance wise, it looked somewhat similar to the Accelerator suits in the G.I. Joe movie. However, it was better configured, more refined, more compact and less bulky.

At the very least, when Gibbs emerged from the building, his movements were no different to that of an ordinary human – instead, it was more dextrous.

There behind Gibbs was… … a woman.

The instant he saw the woman, a look of astonishment appeared on Guan Shan’s face.

He blurted out. “Tina!”

Seeing the look of astonishment on Guan Shan’s face, Chen Xiaolian was quick to realize that there was something special about this woman’s identity.

This woman was very young, with brown hair and a very sweet face. Her skin had a faint sheen of chocolate colour and her body was lean and slender. She wore a skintight full body combat suit. Appearance wise, it appeared to be made of leather – however, Chen Xiaolian knew that was not possible. In fact, he was willing to bet that it was a form of protective suit.

Appearance wise, she looked somewhat similar to the famous Latin beauty, Jessica Alba. Highly amorous with an angel like smile. In fact, this woman’s facial features were more refined, more perfect.

After emerging from the building, Gibbs saw Chen Xiaolian and Guan Shan, who were standing before the building. He immediately halted his steps and gazed at the two of them warily.

He subconsciously made a move. This move by him caused Chen Xiaolian to raise his brows. Gibbs took a step forward to place his body before the woman.

Those set of movements were done in a very fluid and natural manner.

“Mr Gibbs,” said Chen Xiaolian solemnly.

“You are… …” Clearly, Gibbs was unable to recognize Chen Xiaolian. However, when he saw Guan Shan, an odd look overcame his face. “Guan Shan? Why are you here? Did Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild send you?”

Guan Shan did not say anything. Instead, he turned to Chen Xiaolian.

Chen Xiaolian exhaled before speaking up again, “Mr Gibbs, the one looking for you is me.”

“Who are you?” Gibbs cast a frowning look at Chen Xiaolian. “I remember you. Back in the control room, you were standing beside Bluesea. Are you also a member of Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild? Humph… … I am a member of the Angel Corps. But I am already suspended from duty. Why would someone from Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild come looking for me?”

“I am not a member of Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild,” Chen Xiaolian was quick to reply. “Let’s make this short. We are now in an emergency and there is insufficient time for a good chat. To be precise, I need your help. Rather, I think we should help each other and think of a way to escape this place.”

“… … …” Gibbs cast an indifferent look at Chen Xiaolian as his hand moved to touch something placed on his waist area. It appeared to be a metal cylinder of sorts. However, Chen Xiaolian was willing to bet that it was some form of energy-tier weapon. “I do not understand what you mean.”

“No, you understand, of course you understand.” Chen Xiaolian looked Gibbs in the eye and continued, “After leaving the control room, you could have made your way to the main gate and leave. However, you did not do so! Obviously, you realized that the main gate had already become a dangerous place. Moreover… … it would appear that you have no intentions of leaving by yourself. Instead, you came here. Let me guess, that beautiful woman behind you is your girlfriend? Or someone very close to you? That is why the first thing you did after leaving the control room was to come here. You want to bring her along as you escape, right?”

Gibbs narrowed his eyes and remained silent. However, his eyes were darting around, attempting to find a way to escape.

“I am his wife.” The beautiful woman behind Gibbs suddenly spoke up. Her voice was very soft and her tone was one of extreme calmness. “We did not have a wedding, but this is Zero City. There is no such thing as weddings in Zero City.”

Guan Shan’s mouth fell so wide that it would be possible to stuff an egg through it. “Wife? By the Heavens! Gibbs! You sure are something! Rodriar’s beauty! You successfully captured the heart of the beautiful nymph adored by so many in Zero City. You two sure can hide this.”

“Humph! Guan Shan, now is not the time for nonsense. What are you two up to?” Wariness filled Gibbs’ eyes.

“Are you not interested in knowing what is going on with the main gate?” asked Chen Xiaolian.

“I don’t need to even ask.” Gibbs shook his head. “Let me guess, Order 13, right? Humph… … I have read through the plan before. I was involved in the simulation of the plan many times. I was also part of those who improved upon the plan.”

After saying that, he turned to face Chen Xiaolian before turning to Guan Shan. “Let me guess, the main gate is now besieged, right? If there were nothing wrong with the main gate, you would not be looking for me. You, Guan Shan, you should be beside Bluesea. The fact that you are here means that the main gate cannot be used. There are enemies outside, right? If so, the next step is to implement Order 13. First, use the large-scale Electromagnetic Jammers to shut down the main gate, right? How much time do we have left?”

“17 minutes and 30 seconds… … oh, it is now down to 29 seconds.” Chen Xiaolian looked at his watch.

“Then stop wasting my time. Stop blocking my way.” Gibbs turned and took a step to the left. However, Chen Xiaolian quickly stepped before him.

“What are you doing?” There was a concerned look on Gibbs’ face.

“Your look is enough to prove me right. Gibbs, you have a way to leave Zero City, right?” asked Chen Xiaolian in a hushed tone.

“I don’t.” Gibbs shook his head and looked at Chen Xiaolian. “What about you? Who are you and what are you planning?”

“My name is Chen Xiaolian, the Guild Leader of an outsider guild and a friend to Bluesea. By the way, I was the one in the competition arena for Blood Verdict last month.”

Hearing about the competition arena, a startled look flashed across Gibbs’ face. A clear look of dread could now be seen on him as he faced Chen Xiaolian.

The combat power Chen Xiaolian displayed back in the competition arena was sufficient to create an uproar throughout Zero City. The power he unleashed was of the [S] class and he utilized that power to trample and easily kill off his [A] class opponents.

Facing such a character, Gibss’s hand, which was holding onto his weapon, suddenly tightened. However, his hand finally loosened its grip on the weapon.

Chen Xiaolian noted Gibbs’ actions.

“All right, what exactly do you want?” asked Gibbs as he looked at Chen Xiaolian. “Against an expert like you, I will have to admit that I have no way of resisting.”

“Like I said, I want us to help each other and find a way to leave this place.”

“Why me?”

“Because I saw everything that happened in the control room. Back then, you were one of the few smart fellows in the room. Additionally, you are truly knowledgeable about matters regarding Zero City’s system. When it comes to running away from here, I would rather place my bets on a knowledgeable pro.”

Gibbs did not reply.

Chen Xiaolian sighed. Next, he displayed a more direct and convincing move.

He suddenly raised his hand and waved gently with it.

The streetlamps lining the entire street suddenly turned off.

Next, Chen Xiaolian waved his hand again and the streetlamps turned on once more.

Gibbs finally revealed a reaction on his face and he blurted, “You, how did you do that? You… … you hacked Zero City’s lighting control system?”

“Don’t ask me how I did it. Explaining it would take too long. Right now, I believe I have the right to cooperate with you, no?”

“… … fine!” Gibbs sighed. “I do have some ideas, which may get us out of here. However… … I cannot be certain. Additionally, we don’t have much time. Let us talk while we move.”

…

The young woman named Tina summoned out a flying car before the four of them. Gibbs quickly got into the driver’s seat, Tina got into the first passenger’s seat and both Chen Xiaolian and Guan Shan got into the back seat.

This car was a form of floating car that utilized a certain anti-gravity technology. It quickly made its way to the oval shaped Board of Patriarchs’ building.

“We are heading to the Board of Patriarchs’ building?” asked Chen Xiaolian, who was seated behind.

“More accurately, we are heading to the backup units building behind the Board of Patriarchs’ building.” Gibbs, who was driving, shook his head.
