The entire space fell into an eerie silence, the only sound being the faint crackling of the spiral metal cooling after being burned by the lasers.
Lu Cheneng leaned against a metal support, panting heavily, sweat drenching his temples. He looked uncertainly at Wen Shifei, then at the breach in the dome above, which had plunged into darkness. Was that momentary pause... because of Shifei's cry? Because of the name "Wen Yuan"?
Wen Shifei's heart was pounding, nearly jumping out of his chest! It worked! His brother's consciousness was truly here! It was responding!
However, this dead silence lasted less than three seconds!
"Error... Command... Target... Confirmed... Cleared... Highest priority..."
The cold electronic sound echoed again, but this time, it was filled with chaotic murmurs and logically conflicting discontinuities! The extinguished crimson dots lit up frantically again! The remaining laser ports recharged, emitting a piercing hum! Even more terrifying, from the breach in the dome above, came the heavy, teeth-grinding sound of metal friction and hydraulic transmission!
"roar--!"
Accompanied by an inhuman roar that was a mixture of the sound of metal tearing and the roar of wild beasts, several huge, hideous shadows suddenly poked out from the gap, and pounced down along the spiral staircase and the metal skeleton of the dome like mechanical spiders crawling out of hell!
There were three... no, four! Four terrifying mechas the likes of which had never been seen before!
Their main bodies resembled the torsos of some gigantic mutant beetles, covered in thick, dark red alloy armor studded with spikes. Supporting their bodies were not legs, but six immensely sturdy hydraulic arms, each terminating in a massive alloy drill or spinning chainsaw! Their heads lacked eyes, only a multi-faceted sensor that continuously rotated and scanned, emitting a faint green glow! On their backs, they carried recharged gun barrels, freshly fired from lasers!
These monsters were war machines born purely for killing! Their sensors instantly locked onto Lu Chenentang on the spiral staircase platform and Wen Shifei in the corner!
"Run!!!" Lu Chen's eyes were bloodshot as he roared at Wen Shifei with a deafening roar! At the same time, the pulse pistol in his hand erupted with a deafening roar! A thick beam of energy fiercely slammed into the dark green sensor on the head of the leading mecha!
boom!
The energy beam hit with pinpoint accuracy! The sensor exploded instantly! The massive body of the mecha froze, emitting a piercing electronic whine. Its six mechanical arms flared wildly, temporarily losing its target!
But the other three mechas had already rushed down like a runaway locomotive! High-speed spinning chainsaws tore through the air, and massive alloy drills fiercely slashed at the metal pillars where Lu Chenen was hiding! The heavy mechanical arms swept across with immense force!
The narrow spiral staircase platform instantly turned into a meat grinder!
Lu Cheneng's figure was like a small boat in a raging storm amidst the frenzied attack! He frantically dodged, utilizing the complex terrain of the spiral staircase. The pulse pistol in his hand roared continuously, and the energy beams bombarded the heavy armor of the mecha, splashing large bursts of sparks, but only leaving shallow scorch marks, unable to cause fatal damage! The mecha's strength and defense far exceeded those of the guards in Pandora's core area!
Bang!
A mecha's massive drill arm slammed into the spot where Lu Cheneng had just dodged! The entire spiral staircase platform shook violently, and the metal twisted and deformed! The flying debris grazed Lu Cheneng's cheek, leaving a bloody mark!
"Chen En!" Wen Shifei hid in the corner, watching Lu Chen En struggling on the brink of death, her heart pounding with fear! She knew she was a burden staying here! She had to leave! She had to find a way! She suddenly looked up at the chaotic breach in the dome, then at the still-bright Wen Yuan totem on her wrist terminal!
Brother! Help me! Help us!
She didn't hesitate any longer. While Lu Chenen had drawn most of the firepower, and a mecha's chainsaw arm was frantically hacking at the metal wreckage he was hiding in, she suddenly leaped out from the corner, like a nimble raccoon cat, and sprinted towards the higher, relatively intact part of the spiral staircase! Her target was the breach in the dome!
"Shi Fei!" Lu Cheneng saw her rushing towards the more dangerous place, and he was shocked and angry! The moment he was distracted, another heavy mechanical arm of the mecha swept towards him with a sharp roar that tore through the air! He could only roll on the ground in embarrassment!
puff!
A heavy crash! Although Lu Cheneng avoided the direct attack, the end of the mechanical arm still grazed his shoulder! A huge force came over him, and he felt like he was hit by a huge hammer. With a muffled groan, his body flew uncontrollably towards the edge of the spiral staircase! Below was bottomless darkness!
“Chen En——!” Wen Shifei turned around and saw this scene, and his soul flew away!
Just as Lu Cheneng was about to fall, the intense struggle in his eyes was instantly replaced by an extreme coldness! His body twisted in the air with inhuman coordination! One hand, like a pair of pliers, firmly grasped a broken and tilted metal beam at the edge of the spiral staircase! His body was suspended in mid-air!
He raised his head and looked up at Wen Shifei, who was trying to reach out to him. His goggles had shattered and slipped off during the tumble, revealing his eyes.
Those eyes were now completely shrouded in a pure, emotionless, cold sheen like polished obsidian! Within them were only the most precise calculations, the most indifferent assessments, and an absolute fixation on the "interference factor"!
"Target priority... re-evaluate..." A cold, flat metallic voice came out of his mouth, clearly reaching Wen Shifei's ears, like the verdict of hell, "Clear...interference items...Wen Shifei..."
The hand gripping the metal beam suddenly exerted force! His body bounced upward like a weightless feather! With his other hand, he quickly pulled out another pistol from his waist—a large-caliber kinetic pistol powerful enough to penetrate light armor! The black muzzle, carrying the chill of death, locked onto Wen Shifei's heart steadily and accurately under her terrified and desperate gaze!
