Otherworld Bone Dragon Operation Guide

Chapter 83: The Sports Student Strategy at the Experimental Center
Miao Xin nodded and charged off in her hound form.

The first target was the archives. The MK71 was an artillery piece developed in the 1970s, but it was ruthlessly phased out before it could be officially commissioned. Its information is no longer classified as high-secret and is all stored in the archives.

Electronic documents were definitely available, but Su Ming didn't have the time to deal with the passwords. Besides, he was the one who sabotaged the power supply to the testing center, so he couldn't turn on the computers either. Therefore, Su Ming had his eye on these paper files from the very beginning.

There weren't many useful items—just core blueprints, various operation and maintenance manuals, circuit diagrams, and electrical control system manuals. Su Ming confiscated them all and sent them back to the other world.

[Next, target number two.]

Miao Xin moved swiftly, disappearing amidst a flurry of flying paper scraps as she turned and ran to her next target. This time, it was the artillery's control cabinet and console. While the main body of the cannon was indeed displayed in the testing area, a significant portion of the peripheral equipment was actually stored in the warehouse.

After all, most people only look at the imposing main body of the cannon and don't care about the rotating motor, electrical control cabinet, hydraulic station, or anything like that. Besides, these parts of the equipment would be damaged if stored outdoors.

Miao Xin had already scouted the location, so she went straight to the target warehouse without taking any detours.

Having learned from her previous experience, Miao Xin intentionally slowed down Xiao Citou's speed, letting it run within the limits of a normal dog. Many people hurried along the way, some carrying umbrellas, some flashlights, and others wearing raincoats. In many parts of the testing center, the surviving emergency lights were still working, which only made the empty areas seem even darker.

Several people cursed and swore, accusing the officers above them of embezzling funds and causing the emergency power supply system to fail, resulting in a power outage at a large military testing center, forcing them to work in the pouring rain.

Someone spotted the little troublemaker and brought up the incident last week when the Everett Naval Base was attacked by robotic dogs.

Su Ming ignored her and let Miao Xin continue running. He turned around and disappeared behind the building. The group of people were stunned for a moment, but did not choose to chase after them.

This time things are finally back to normal. The troublemaker will leave traces, and various thefts and acts of vandalism will gradually become apparent. However, information transmission takes time, mobilization of personnel takes time, and rainy nights and power outages will severely slow down people's response and action. Only seven minutes have passed since the troublemaker entered the base.

The warehouse was locked, and there was a guard on duty in the guardhouse at the entrance. Relying on her psychic vision, Miao Xin quickly closed in and delivered an elbow strike to the guard's face.

The opponent was quite burly, and Miao Xin's attack was too light, failing to knock him unconscious. The guard reached for his gun at his side, but Miao Xin nimbly delivered a spinning kick, striking him in the temple.

boom!
The big guy then collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Miao Xin stopped to check on the other person and confirmed that the other person was seriously injured but not dead before walking away.

The warehouse's concrete walls were quite thick, and the door, while not ridiculously large, was still fairly sturdy. Su Ming didn't have time to look for the key, so he decided to take a brute-force approach. But that meant making noise. After thinking for a moment, he decided to find a way to eliminate the noise.

There was a weapon backpack in the duty room. Su Ming took out a stun grenade from it and asked Miao Xin to find a stick. Su Ming instructed Miao Xin to unzip the bag and then tie a rope to the safety pin to prevent it from popping open.

"Fire in any direction," Su Ming commanded Miao Xin.

"Master, will it kill people?" Miao Xin asked.

"No, this only produces a sonic boom that will make people dizzy," Su Ming explained.

As Miao Xin's intelligence improved, the two often communicated. Miao Xin would ask questions or ask for favors. She vaguely remembered her past existence as a human and sometimes became puzzled by certain things.

Fortunately, Miao Xin prioritized obedience. Overall, her autonomy proved to be a significant help. Miao Xin tossed the stun grenade into the air, then struck it hard with a bat, sending it flying far away with a graceful, baseball-like motion. When it came to physical prowess, Miss Wraith was never a concern.

[Alright, prepare to break down the door!]

The stun grenade was launched more than 200 meters away, and its safety pin was disengaged upon impact. Four seconds later, the stun grenade exploded with a loud bang.

The attention of most people at the base was drawn to this. The dispatcher quickly directed guards to investigate.

At the warehouse, under the cover of the explosion, Miao Xin destroyed the gate with her bone blade.

The target equipment had been marked with psionic energy beforehand, totaling more than twenty sets. Fortunately, Su Ming's magic power was now far superior to what it used to be. He assessed the complexity of these devices and then directly used the simplest method to summon them all into the cabin of the White Triangle at once, scattering metal debris all over the ground.

In one corner of the warehouse, there was a row of display cases covered in dust. Su Ming glanced at them and spotted a familiar five-pointed star.

He approached and discovered a series of display panels documenting an international war that took place many years ago. There were panels depicting resolute assaults in freezing weather, tenacious sniping against overwhelming enemy forces on the plains, and indomitable tunnels that could not be destroyed even when surrounded on all sides. Also displayed were captured items: food bags, Mosin-Ganna rifles, wooden-handled grenades, and more.

It seems that some people in the US military also know that the lessons of that war need to be remembered.

but--

Su Ming reached out and broke the cabinet, taking out the medal. The ribbon read "XXXX Commemoration, 1951".

This is not your stuff!
Su Ming tucked the medal into his chest cavity and handed over control of the little troublemaker. "Human form, observe and then leave!"

"Yes, Master!" Miao Xin switched to her basic form, put on a modified military uniform, a hat and goggles, and a raincoat before stepping into the rain.

She had tucked the pistol that the warehouse guard had on his waist into her belt, and she also carried a weapon backpack.

The base was filled with panicked figures, but the troublemaker didn't attract any extra attention. Most of the guards were deployed to the core area for security and checks, while the outer perimeter became less restricted.

Some people are even searching for the dog.

A hurried figure carrying a huge gun case ran past the troublemaker. The soldier stopped a jeep and started arguing with the driver.

Su Ming's English listening comprehension wasn't very good, but the conversation between the two was very simple. Apart from the friendly greetings to each other's elders, the person who stopped the car said that he was ordered to set up a sniper rifle at the highest point and asked this person to drive him to the watchtower.

The sergeant driving the vehicle said his mission was more important and told him to run there himself.

There were no other soldiers nearby; everyone was on duty and ran away after a quick glance. Miao Xin approached, drawing a pistol from her waist with one hand and pulling another pistol from her backpack with the other.
