Sizzle!!!!
A burst of electromagnetic whistles, so strong that they almost pierced the eardrums, suddenly exploded from the headphones! Wen Shifei almost threw the terminal away in pain!
At the same time, Lu Cheneng suddenly raised his head! The suppressed struggle in his eyes was instantly replaced by extreme vigilance and coldness! Like a lone wolf that smelled danger, his body instantly tensed!
“Get down!!!”
Lu Chen's roar was like a thunderclap, instantly drowning out the howling of the storm and the shrieking of the headphones! He pounced on Wen Shifei, who was still trying to adjust the antenna, like an arrow from a bow!
The moment he threw himself at Wen Shifei—
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three scorching energy beams with trails of high-energy particles tore through the dim sand curtain, like the scythe of the god of death, slashing fiercely at the huge rock where they had just been hiding!
The solid rock was instantly pierced and torn apart like tofu! Scorching gravel and molten metal rained down like a torrential rain! The violent shockwave sent the two men flying, slamming heavily onto the soft sand!
"Ahem!" Wen Shifei's mouth was filled with sand, her ears were buzzing, and her vision was black. She struggled to raise her head and look in the direction of the attack.
Three tall, sinister silhouettes slowly emerged from the swirling dust. Clad in dark, gravelly-scarred alloy armor, their forms were rugged and deadly, like mechanical hounds bred for wasteland slaughter. Standing upright on two legs, their arms were massive cannon barrels and spinning chainsaws, and their heads were a composite sensor array with gleaming crimson electronic eyes! Emblazoned on their armor was a striking symbol of a blood-drenched dagger—the Black Scorpions! Following the dissolution of the chaebol alliance, they were among the most brutal and greedy armed bandits to roam the wasteland!
"Target spotted! High-value individual confirmed! Lu Cheneng! Wen Shifei!" The electronic synthesized voice of the lead mecha sounded coldly, and its scarlet electronic eyes locked onto the two men who had just crawled out of the sand. "Employer's order: Capture or eliminate! Capture Wen Shifei first! Eliminate the threat target Lu Cheneng!"
"A lackey of the chaebol!" Lu Cheneng spat out a mouthful of bloody sand, his eyes instantly filled with raging rage and cold murderous intent! The intense pain and weakness in his body seemed to be instantly ignited and squeezed by this deadly threat! He suddenly drew the twin pistols at his waist—a large-caliber kinetic pistol and a pulse pistol!
"Shi Fei! Find cover!" He growled, and his body rolled to the side like a cheetah!
Da da da da!
The scorching bullets and thick pulse beams instantly covered his previous position! Deep furrows were plowed into the sand!
Wen Shifei reacted immediately, tumbling and scrambling towards a low, nearby sand dune depression. She grabbed the terminal that had fallen to the sand. The screen was shattered, but the core functions seemed to be still functioning. She nervously monitored the battle situation on Lu Chenen's side, her fingers working rapidly, trying to reestablish communication with the "Firefly." At the same time, she accessed the terminal's vast data storage, downloaded from the "Lighthouse" core, searching for any information that might help counter these killing machines!
The battle broke out instantly!
Lu Cheneng's figure tumbled, leaped, and dodged frantically across the sand! His movements were filled with the ferocity and precision of a cornered beast! The twin pistols roared in his hands! Kinetic bullets slammed fiercely into the mecha's thick armor, sending up dazzling sparks! Pulse beams pounded at the mecha's joints, slowing their movement!
But the Black Scorpion's mechas were clearly no match for Pandora's guards! They had thicker armor, more powerful firepower, and better coordination! One mecha used its chainsaw arms and artillery fire to suppress Lu Chenentang's movements, while another flanked him, its massive gun barrel locked onto his evasive trajectory! The third mecha, with heavy steps and a clear focus, approached the sand dune depression where Wen Shifei was hiding! The whistling chainsaws shrieked like the grin of death!
"Disrupt it! Shi Fei! Use the data stream! The data from the 'Lighthouse'!" Lu Cheneng was in a state of disarray under the intense firepower. The wound on his shoulder burst open again, and blood stained the bandage red. He roared in the direction of Wen Shifei! He remembered Wen Shifei's interference with the light path in the 'Lighthouse' neural maze!
Wen Shifei's heart was pounding! She watched the terrifying mecha approaching, watched Lu Chenentang perilously close to him amidst the artillery fire! She forced herself to calm down, her fingers frantically manipulating the shattered terminal screen! She retrieved the database! Filtered it! Searched for data packets related to mechanical intelligence and electronic interference!
Found it! An encrypted data packet labeled [Universal Neural Signal Suppression Protocol (Experimental)]! My brother left it behind!
There was no time to hesitate! Wen Shifei immediately turned the terminal's antenna power to maximum and aimed it at the approaching mecha! Activate the protocol!
Buzz——!
A data stream pulse that is invisible to the naked eye but carries a powerful nerve interference frequency, like an invisible arrow, fiercely shot towards the scarlet sensor array on the head of the mecha!
The mecha's movements suddenly froze! Its scarlet electronic eyes flickered wildly, like a lightbulb with a faulty connection! The spinning chainsaw also made a stuttering noise! It seemed to be in a moment of logical confusion!
"Good opportunity!" Lu Chen's eyes flashed fiercely! He seized this fleeting opportunity, suddenly emerged from behind the cover, and fired both guns! The target - the chaotic head sensor of the mecha!
Bang! Boom!
The kinetic bullet and the pulse beam hit almost at the same time!
The sensor instantly exploded into a ball of blinding sparks! The massive body of the mecha suddenly stiffened, then collapsed to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut, stirring up a cloud of dust!
