Chapter 121: Deja Vu

"Huo Xiu!"

Carlos' lips parted slightly, his bright green eyes widened because of his master's shock, revealing a bit of innocence.

"Why are you here?"

"Carlos, there's a first aid kit to the right."

Huo Xiu answered as he drove the mecha towards the protective shield.

Carlos was not in good condition. He was covered with wounds. His leathery wings looked like two tattered curtains, and the transparent pair looked even more pitiful.

His chest, waist and abdomen were covered with wounds from gunfire, and the whole insect looked as if it had been soaked in blood, dirty and pitiful.

Carlos sat up straight abruptly: "Huo Xiu, we can't get out of the shield!"

Under his shocked gaze, Huo Xiu chuckled.

Then blue ripples lit up and spit out the mecha driven by Huo Xiu.

The commander's voice was amplified several times: "Where's the V-level protection?! Why was he able to get out?!"

"Commander! He just touched the control console!"

"He doesn't have the key, how could he possibly—"

There was a sound of electricity, and the commander reacted quickly and cut off the communication channel.

Seeing Carlos's rare dazed look, Huo Xiu kindly explained: "Carlos, there are no bugs in my cockpit."

So he could drive the electric current to directly change the state of the console without worrying about the huge current piercing the insect body in the cockpit.

Even though they had escaped from the starship, Huo Xiu still didn't feel relieved.

Because the Palmer family's mechas and warships soon chased after them.

The performance of the mecha he was driving was mediocre. At the same time, because he forcibly opened the protective shield, his energy had run out.

"No reinforcements?"

Huo Xiu had already flown a long distance, but saw no signs of reinforcements.

Carlos smiled awkwardly.

"They've all gone to the Palmer family's lair."

He had never intended to come back alive.

The signs of his spiritual sea going berserk were becoming more and more obvious. The luminous organs that suddenly lit up and the eyeballs that changed color at any time were reminding him that the situation was worsening.

So Carlos went to see a doctor.

His doctor told him that if he continued like this, he would have less than three months to live.

Barring a miracle, there was only one way to extend Carlos's life.

——Continue to feed on the blood of relatives.

But Carlos was unwilling to do so. It wasn't because his moral bottom line was high, it was simply disgusting.

Moreover, the effect of eating blood is quite minimal, because in recent years he has used killing to replace self-control, and the degree of mental frenzy has far exceeded expectations.

He thought that instead of becoming a madman and being manipulated by the Palmer family bugs, it would be better to kill them first.

It just so happened that Jeremy Palmer not only robbed the goods, but also came to provoke him.

And his sire, Elro, finally showed up, breaking his usual low profile, with the intention of luring him out.

Carlos figured it was better to do it now than today. He might as well take advantage of their situation and take them down while they were still conscious.

so--

“…”

Carlos pressed his bleeding abdomen, his eyes shining, and his tone was even more light and upward: "But little farmer, I am so happy..."

"I've never been happier in my life."

"It would be my greatest luck if I could die with you."

"Carlos, I'm not here to die with you." Huo Xiu's voice was still cold, "I'm here to save you."

"Haha..." Carlos laughed, accidentally touching his wound, causing the corners of his mouth to grin even wider, "But I didn't have much time to live anyway, little farmer."

"I prepared myself mentally for a long time before I was ready to let you go."

"But this way of dying is much better than I imagined."

"I could die in your arms—"

"By the way, how did you get into this mecha? If you have this ability, can you also go back at any time?"

Carlos sighed: "Forget it, don't tell me, let me die happily in your arms."

"You'll definitely go find other bugs in the future."

He said he gave up but started bandaging his wounds.

—Jealousy is Carlos’ fuel.

With a loud "bang", Carlos saw the particle cannon pierce the arm of the mecha.

More and more warships appeared in Carlos's field of vision, forming a black mass.

The Palmer family's army caught up.

——

[Huo Xiu?! Is that you? I'm on my way, current coordinates 192, 232.]

A message flashed on the mecha's light screen. Carlos paused and immediately recognized it as Harvey's communication number.

[Carlos is at 198,260] Huo Xiu replied quickly.

【Hold on, I'll be there soon! 】

"No way, when did you add Harvey's contact number?" Carlos was shocked again.

Huo Xiu ignored him.

In fact, the moment Huo Xiu woke up from the mecha, he tried to send a message to Harvey and Carlos' communication number.

The message to Carlos naturally fell on deaf ears, but unexpectedly, Xavi actually came according to the coordinates he originally gave.

——So talking to smart bugs is simple.

Harvey didn't question how Huo Xiu, an AI, found Carlos, nor did he delay.

Even if there is only a tiny hope, I am determined to give it a try.

Huo Xiu reduced other energy consumption to a minimum. He no longer used weapons to shoot down the surrounding mechas. Instead, he put all his energy into increasing the flight speed.

He wants to break through.

"Little farmer, you really want me to live." Seeing him like this, Carlos said softly.

"Yes." Huo Xiu answered briefly.

Carlos laughed.

He kicked open the cockpit door, his eyes turned into compound eyes, and hard insect armor covered his entire body.

"Then you have to hold on to me~"

As he spoke, he flew out of the hatch, snatched away Huo Xiu's weapon in an instant when he passed by another mecha, and turned around to put it on Huo Xiu's shoulder.

With a loud "bang", the mecha was hit and disintegrated in the air.

Huo Xiu quickly understood his intention and controlled the mecha to fly towards the disintegrated mecha.

Carlos's shooting was very accurate, but unfortunately the explosion when the mecha disintegrated still destroyed the energy tank.

But fortunately there is still some left.

Carlos laughed and poured all the energy into the energy tank behind Huo Xiu.

A medical bandage was wrapped around his waist, and the other end of the bandage was tied to the mechanical arm that held the pilot.

However, the other mechas also noticed their actions. They stopped advancing and instead launched long-range attacks.

Six minutes later, Huo Xiu finally saw another starship.

【196，258】

[The protective shield has been unlocked and you can log in! ]

The message from Harvey lit up on the mecha screen, and Huo Xiu moved quickly towards the huge starship.

Carlos's wound was completely torn two minutes ago, and the radar inside Huo Xiu's mecha was also completely damaged. He was unable to identify the direction of the gunfire and had to take a few more hits.

So Carlos refused to return to the cockpit and stubbornly set up his weapons in the opposite direction.

His compound eyes can also capture the direction of enemy aircraft when traveling at high speeds, and can temporarily serve as the eyes of the mecha.

Huo Xiu could only use the mecha's only remaining hand to cover him and provide him with some protection.

"Huo Xiu!"

Carlos' voice suddenly became extremely tense.

Without radar, Huo Xiu could sense the approaching artillery fire.

A bright light suddenly appeared and came roaring from behind.

Huo Xiu urgently adjusted direction.

"Tracking bullet!"

The next moment, Carlos felt his vision suddenly change.

He suddenly took off into the air, and the whole insect flew out of control towards the starship.

With a loud "boom".

The silver tracking bullet hit the mecha with one arm broken off.

The mecha raised its left arm and turned into a black shadow, swallowed by the dazzling white light.

White.

gold.

red.

The shadow disappeared.

“Huo Xiu!!!”

——

“Huo Xiu!!!”

This was the first thing Carlos said when he woke up. He turned over and ran into the game cabin regardless of the wounds on his body.

"You can't move!" the doctor suddenly raised his voice, but Carlos moved very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, we were in the corridor.

Sticky repair fluid continued to drip from Carlos' body, the wound between his waist and abdomen cracked, and the transparent repair fluid began to be mixed with red.

Xavi followed Carlos in silence.

Sean hesitated to speak.

The game cabin lit up with blue light, and Carlos entered the "Godless World".

The entrance to the garden town was still bustling with insects, and Carlos walked into the lily garden with ease.

The Lily Garden is particularly lively today.

Carlos' pupils contracted violently.

"roll!!!"

"Who is this? Are you sick? Can't you see everyone is lining up?"

"Go away and queue up behind!"

"What are you doing? This is a public area! If you want to fight, go to the arena!"

"Exactly! How uncultured! Lily Garden is different from other gardens. Don't you know you have to queue?"

Carlos turned a deaf ear to it, and suddenly realized that he had asked Xavi to adjust his landing point - he could go directly into the lily garden.

But this time, why is it at the entrance and exit of Garden Town?

He felt pain and suffocation.

It was as if all the life-support fluid in the game cabin was poured into his mouth and nose.

Carlos kept walking as he passed through a group of female insects, throwing away anyone who touched him.

He pushed open the door of Lily Town.

A tall figure stood in the garden, holding a watering can and tending to the lilies in the garden.

The lilies spread out in patches as quietly as when I first saw them.

The white waves rise and fall with the wind, each flower is extremely beautiful, emitting a faint, intoxicating fragrance.

“Huo——”

Carlos's voice stopped abruptly.

The male insect has turned around.

He was very tall, even a little taller than some female insects.

The skin is lighter than wheat, like honey.

Sharp eyebrows, narrow black eyes, and a high nose bridge.

——But that wasn’t Huo Xiu.

"Who are you? Why are you breaking into my garden?" The male insect frowned. "Are you a bug sent by the research institute?"

"You are so rude! Please get out!"

Carlos felt like he was in an ice cellar.
