It must be that these guards were just patrolling nearby and came to assist as efficiently as possible upon encountering the unexpected situation.

Seeing this, Chen Ming felt a bit relieved; otherwise, if it had been a large troop, he and this Armor-Piercing Level would not have been fortunate enough.

The positions where the four guards entered were just out of sight from Chen Ming and Old Wu behind the support pillar, only able to see the only two people still moving in the exhibition hall.

Those two terrorists.

So the guards started shooting directly.

The bullets passed through the smoke, precisely hitting the two terrorists already very close to the Armor-Piercing Level, killing them instantly.

The bombs on them exploded, just like the previous two terrorists.

The violent explosion left noticeable scars on the adjacent White Cloud Steel Armor of the Armor-Piercing Level, and even shattered and detached some of the armor pieces.

Although the explosion seemed not very large in scope, the actual explosive effect was somewhat beyond Chen Ming's expectations.

No one knows what kind of explosives Zuo Jing and his crew used to manufacture them.

Besides the damage to the external armor, the support frame of the Armor-Piercing Level was directly blown apart, tilting and falling onto the ground with a loud crash.

The guards who just wiped out the terrorists instinctively shifted their gaze to the explosion and the damaged Armor-Piercing Level.

Overlooking the middle-aged man reaching back into his pocket on the ground.

And since the exhibition hall's surveillance and power system had long been controlled by Zuo Jing's people, the guards did not receive information about the number of terrorists before entering.

Moreover, as the smoke grenade hit the ground, the middle-aged man did the same as before, finding a pile of people to lie among and shielded himself with others in front.

This caused the guards to not notice him lying on the ground right upon entry.

All these factors combined gave the middle-aged man the opportunity to press down the last activation chance of the Mind Pulse Device.

The third Mind Pulse swept through the exhibition hall instantly.

This time, although the intensity of the Mind Pulse was much lower than the previous two times, it was still unbearable for ordinary people.

Four ordinary guards fell instantly, and the exhibition hall became quiet again.

Only the hissing sound of the smoke grenade releasing smoke remained.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ming couldn't help but whisper to Old Wu beside him, "Is the government reacting this slowly? How long has it been, and only four people came to assist?"

"It's not a slow response, look at this."

Old Wu also whispered while handing over an open terminal to Chen Ming, which he had somehow opened at some point.

On it was the Star Realm Government's news release website.

Besides the news of the exhibition hall's attack, there was another urgent report listed before it.

An explosion incident also occurred near the Space Elevator, quite close to the government building.

This was probably done by Zuo Jing as well.

"No wonder the support is so slow."

Chen Ming looked up at the distant middle-aged man and said, "I think I understand now."

"Their target from the beginning was not the Armor-Piercing Level. Otherwise, it would be better to detonate the bomb when they really got close enough to Armor-Piercing, or activate the Mind Pulse."

"They activated the Mind Pulse earlier just to attract the government's attention, concentrating its guard forces here at the exhibition hall."

"Meanwhile, prepare to attack the Space Elevator in a feint."

"If the ship exploded, the government would certainly focus only on the Space Elevator, but if the ship did not explode, it might hesitate a little."

"As long as they could time it right, making the support forces arrive here when they were making trouble at the Space Elevator, the support forces would be swamped all at once."

"But there seems to be some problem with their coordination, almost acting at the same time."

"So most guards haven't come to the exhibition hall."

After all, the value of a spacecraft compared to a Space Elevator is something the government can immediately decide on.

Chen Ming returned the terminal to Old Wu and asked, "So are we temporarily abandoned here?"

"Not necessarily; support will definitely come, but the number and time are uncertain."

Chen Ming nodded slightly and said, "That means we have a chance to do something now. Whether they are knocked out, dead, or cannot come, it would be a waste not to seize the opportunity."

He clenched the gun in his hand and said to Old Wu seriously, "Old Wu, help me out; don't kill that person directly, I have some things to do."

Meanwhile,

The middle-aged man knew that the current situation was now very unfavorable to him, just like Chen Ming.

He had used the Mind Pulse three times, yet twice people did not fall after the pulse.

The result was that the four people he had arranged earlier died halfway.

And his mission can hardly be considered completed.

Not only failed to successfully attract the guard forces' attention, but he couldn't even blow up the spaceship.

The middle-aged man glanced towards the distant, tilted Armor-Piercing Level on the ground, a hesitant expression appeared on his face.

Immediately, he seemed to remember something frightening, as fear took over his face.

He bit his teeth and quickly ran towards the spaceship.

At the same time, he began to untie the explosives strapped on him.

The middle-aged man quickly reached the front of the ship, arriving at a point where large support beams were slightly recessed into the hull.

This was the thinnest, most crucial part of the spaceship.
