Ziyu did not expect that the place where his Adoptive Father had brought him back then was actually on a ship, and he had no idea where in the ocean it was. Adoptive Father had taken Ziyu without letting him see the route; this was a very secretive organization.
"Sir, it's right here," Zero prompted, providing Ziyu with the best path.
Ziyu carried a Metal Plate on his back and held a gleaming special Machine Gun, hiding in a corner.
"Give me a piece of metal to make a screen," Ziyu thought to himself.
The metal behind Ziyu immediately began to extend, covering his left eye, while his right eye could see normally Nearby.
"Switch the surveillance to me," Ziyu commanded.
"This thing is really impressive..." Ziyu looked at the "screen" and felt speechless.
To create a display screen, simply having conductive metal wouldn't work, so the display screen extended from this metal was quite unique.
The "display screen" was just a piece of Metal Plate, and the scenery was displayed as if it were "carved" onto the Metal Plate, changing images every 0.1 seconds to show real-time surveillance. This way, Ziyu could "see" what the surveillance displayed.
"I'll make do with this." Ziyu knew it wasn't the time to get caught up in feelings; looking at the relief was sufficient to achieve his purpose.
"Show the best path."
The screen Metal Plate expanded again, simultaneously displaying multiple continuous surveillance feeds, then a thin line traced across the Ground in the surveillance image.
Zero was very meticulous, even marking hidden obstacles. With Zero's computational ability, it could even analyze soldiers' movement patterns to predict their next actions.
"Alright..." Ziyu became more serious and quickly ran to hide behind the first obstacle. Since this was a ship, once he moved from the deck to below deck, the Ground would turn into metal, and any movement by Ziyu would make noise.
"Sir, the best path has changed; please follow the new route." Based on the new distribution of soldiers, Zero calculated a new optimal path.
"Yes, I see it." Ziyu hid behind a box and turned to look at another passage.
~~~~~~~~~~~
After a series of evasions and infiltrations, Ziyu finally arrived in front of a locked door. According to the map created from the surveillance, the spaceship was right behind it.
"Uh... Zero, can you find a way to get in?" Ziyu asked.
"Well, I can... but breaking the code to unlock the door will trigger an alarm... However, if you want to force it open, with your strength, that's impossible," Zero replied.
"That's fine, just crack the code," Ziyu said.
The door's password system was connected to the local area network of the entire ship. Ziyu knew that there was a password monitoring system that was only connected to the password door. Zero could access the local network to crack the password for the door but could not enter the password monitoring system that was not connected to the local network to disable it.
"The organization really has tight security," Ziyu thought while waiting in front of the door.
Because this kind of password-protected door was in a Restricted Area, unauthorized personnel were generally not allowed to approach, so Ziyu was temporarily safe. Ziyu was able to approach without being detected because Zero had replaced the content displayed by the surveillance system with files from the same time yesterday; the person monitoring would not notice anything unusual since nothing had happened yesterday.
Moments later.
"Sir, the password has been cracked. The door will open in five seconds," Zero's voice echoed again.
Ziyu aimed a Machine Gun at the doorway, ready for action.
"Beep!" The door emitted a crisp electronic beep as the pressure valve opened, and the door slowly cracked open.
"Now, run!" Ziyu began sprinting toward the door. In Ziyu's calculations, reaching the door just as it opened enough for him to enter was perfect timing.
"Buzz... Buzz..." An alarm sounded nearby, cutting through various obstacles and alerting everyone on the ship.
"Someone is using a battleship!" A man emerged from a side door in the Command Center. Although he was dressed in ordinary clothes, everyone on the ship knew his status.
"Check the surveillance!" the man ordered.
The nearest Computer Operator immediately began to change the screen, switching to the surveillance feed.
"The door isn't open? There's nothing?" The man was taken aback and then angrily exclaimed, "This isn't the current surveillance!"
Once the operator realized this as well, he quickly began searching for the current feed. Just then...
"Hello, ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to inform you of some good news: you have been played." This message appeared in a humorous font on all computers connected to the local network, and in an instant, all computers crashed.
The man's expression darkened significantly.
"Ziyu, what are you doing..." There was a hint of malice in his eyes, but also a sense of helplessness. He knew it was Ziyu's doing because only Ziyu could so effortlessly infiltrate the ship's entrance.
"Third Squad, Fourth Squad, mobilize and gather all nearby Sergeants to the battleship. If any violators are found, eliminate them immediately!" The man ordered without hesitation.
It was fine if one person escaped, but if their existence was exposed and the battleship was stolen, everything they had worked for over the years would be in vain.
"Everyone step aside..." Due to early life experiences, fourteen-year-old Ziyu was now very mature psychologically, with strong judgment and calm thinking abilities. So Ziyu knew exactly what he was doing and how to proceed.
As Ziyu burst through the main door, he was spotted by many staff members. These staff members were researchers and unarmed; for a moment, they didn't know what to do. Meanwhile, Ziyu used his gun to injure each person's limbs so they couldn't move. Ziyu didn't want to kill anyone.
Ziyu felt a bit pleased; his marksmanship was truly exceptional. The images seen by Ziyu would be transmitted to Zero, who would provide full assistance. This meant that wherever Ziyu aimed the gun, Zero would know and calculate accordingly. Once Ziyu's aim aligned with what he envisioned in his mind, the Metal Plate in front of him would transform into a reticle shape. At that point, Ziyu just needed to pull the trigger.
It was almost a perfect hit every time.
"There! Fire!" A commotion erupted behind Ziyu followed by a command.
Ziyu turned around and saw a group of soldiers, looking to be more than twenty, all aiming their guns at Ziyu.
"Can we play the grass boat borrowing arrows?" Ziyu hinted.
"Sir, are you saying to cover your entire body with metal, then let the bullets hit the metal so that it softens, allowing the bullets to merge into the metal and harden again for your use?"
"You really understand me, Zero," Ziyu smiled broadly.
"However, sir, I have a more straightforward method," Zero continued.
"What is it?"
"Sir, my idea is also to cover your entire body with metal, but I don't want to soften it to catch the bullets. Instead... I will calculate and use the principles of rebounding to send the bullets back."
"Uh... okay." Ziyu thought for a moment; this method was much faster than his own. The rebound follows a pattern: at the point of contact, a line perpendicular to the surface is drawn as the "normal," and the paths of incidence and reflection are symmetrical about this normal.
"What is that?" Just as the soldiers were about to fire, they noticed a piece of metal extending from behind Ziyu, covering his entire body.
"Don't worry about it, shoot!" The officer seemed somewhat irritated by the soldiers' hesitation.
Ziyu's body was tightly wrapped in metal, with only a small hole at the top. Inside that hole was a small metal fan to prevent Ziyu from suffocating inside the metal shell.
Ziyu's hands were also placed inside, making contact with the metal surface. A protrusion appeared on the metal surface, constantly changing to inform Ziyu how to act.
Since Ziyu couldn't see now, his movements were slow and cautious.
"What if they don't shoot but just grab me?" Ziyu asked.
"That's fine, sir. In that case, the covering will be released, and sharp blades will penetrate them," Zero replied. "But sir, it's no longer necessary."
"Bang, bang, bang..." The sound of bullets colliding with his metal armor echoed, and within a few seconds, it fell silent.
"Is it over?" Ziyu asked in surprise.
The metal covering peeled away, revealing the Metal Plate placed behind Ziyu, and as Ziyu looked around, he discovered that all twenty or so soldiers were dead.
"Twenty soldiers only needed twenty bullets, but I used a few extra," Zero said.
"Why?" Ziyu inquired.
"Some bullets were fast, so I let them return to the gun... There were two extra bullets, so I made them collide and hit the wall."
Ziyu looked over and indeed saw several guns with obvious signs of damage, and there were two marks on the wall.
"Did I create you?" Ziyu swallowed hard.
"Actually, yes, sir."
"Then I'm amazing," Ziyu chuckled and walked toward the spaceship.
