In "Skyreach City", a futuristic metropolis ruled by four major financial magnates, Lu Chenshen, a cold-blooded heir to one of the magnates, is implanted with the "Scarlet Code" by ...

Chapter 49: Hope Spreads

"Well done!" Lu Chensheng's spirits lifted! But the joy only lasted for a moment!

"Target A's jamming capability confirmed! Raise threat level! Switch to anti-jamming mode! Prioritize elimination!" The electronic tones of the other two mechas grew even colder! They seemed to adapt to the jamming instantly, their crimson electronic eyes locking onto Wen Shifei! The massive gun barrels and spinning chainsaws simultaneously shifted direction!

Wen Shifei's face paled! The interruption seemed to have drained the terminal's energy, and the screen went completely black! She was exposed!

"Shi Fei—!" Lu Chen's eyes were bloodshot! He was too far away to rescue her in time! He watched helplessly as the deadly muzzle and chainsaw bit towards Wen Shi Fei! A huge despair instantly gripped his heart!

No! ! !

The severe pain, weakness, and the cold will that had been forcibly suppressed in his body, under the dual impact of extreme despair and protective instinct, exploded like a lit barrel of explosives!

Buzz——!!!

An invisible, icy, and violent storm of thoughts suddenly exploded with Lu Chenen as its center! The struggle and human emotions in his eyes were instantly replaced by a pure, extreme metallic coldness! His body movements were so fast that they exceeded the limits of physics! It was as if he had broken free from all constraints!

Bang! Bang!

The twin guns in his hands seemed to have life! Without aiming, he casually swung the muzzles in the direction of the two mechas!

Two extremely condensed dark blue energy beams with high-frequency oscillation ripples, like the scythe of death tearing through space, instantly crossed the spatial distance!

Tsk! Tsk!

There was no explosion, no flames.

The two mechas froze in their movements. A thumb-sized, smooth-edged hole appeared in the center of each of their reinforced, crimson sensors, switched to anti-interference mode. Inside the holes, tiny blue sparks flickered, like ruptured nerve fibers.

Boom! Boom!

The two huge mechas seemed to have been drained of all their power as they collapsed onto the sand without a sound.

The whimpering sound of the sandstorm once again became the main melody between heaven and earth.

Lu Cheneng remained in his firing position, motionless. A chilling, inhuman aura permeated him. His eyes, transformed into emotionless metallic orbs, indifferently scanned the wreckage of the three mechas on the ground before slowly turning to Wen Shifei, who had just escaped death and was now staring at him in horror.

The cold command flowed through the core of his consciousness:

[Threat... Clear...]

[Target: Wen Shifei... Status: Safe...]

[Next instruction: Go to... coordinates...]

Wen Shifei stared into those completely unfamiliar, cold eyes, a wave of fear and sorrow chilling her entire body. He... was back again? That "weapon"?

At this moment, Lu Chen's body suddenly trembled violently! The metallic luster in his eyes flickered like a light bulb with poor contact! Pain and struggle once again appeared on his face! He suddenly hugged his head and let out a suppressed roar, like a wounded beast!

The brainwave stabilizer emitted a shrill, overloaded alarm! The indicator lights on the surface flashed madly!

"Ah... get... out..." A broken, painful roar came from Lu Chenshang's throat, and his knuckles turned white from the force, as if he was fighting the most brutal battle with the horrible monster in his body!

Wen Shifei watched him struggle violently in the cold and pain, and the wreckage of the three mechas that were instantly destroyed. Her heartache and determination instantly overwhelmed her fear! She couldn't give up on him! Absolutely not!

She rushed over desperately and hugged his violently trembling body tightly!

"Chen En! Look at me! It's me! Wen Shifei!" Her voice was tearful, but incredibly firm. "Come back! Please! Come back! We've found the Ark! Dr. Qin must have a way! Hold on! For me! For us!"

Her hug, her voice, her hot tears dripping on Lu Chenshang's cold neck... like a weak but persistent warm current, fiercely impacting the cold barrier deep in his consciousness!

The metallic luster in Lu Chen's eyes flickered even more intensely! The pain and struggle reached their peak! He pushed Wen Shifei away, staggered back a few steps, and held his head tightly with both hands, his body curled up, as if enduring the most cruel punishment in the world.

I don’t know how long it took, maybe just a moment, maybe a century.

His trembling body finally calmed down slowly.

He slowly raised his head.

The metallic luster in his eyes receded like the tide, revealing a pair of eyes belonging to "Lu Cheneng", which were bloodshot, full of fatigue and intense pain, but no longer cold.

He looked at Wen Shifei, his lips moving, his voice as hoarse as an old bellows:

"...Let's go...quickly...while I...can still control it..."
