Chapter 289 Machine 28
The officer leading the mechanical army to capture Jiang Chan was named Liu. As soon as the giant robot appeared in his field of vision, his eyes widened in shock. "What is that..." He exchanged glances with the officer next to him and exclaimed in disbelief, "Wang had a prototype of it in his drawings. I never thought they could actually build it. Am I seeing things?"
When Yin Jia scanned the traces of the mechanical army, it reorganized itself. The nearly three-meter-tall silver robot stood silently among the dilapidated buildings. The twilight was scattered, and the ground was covered with golden light. With a series of clicking sounds, two black gun barrels appeared in front of everyone. At the same time, the ground trembled with the rumbling sound of Yin Jia's heavy feet, causing the surrounding ruins to collapse to varying degrees and dust to fly.
The mechanical army hummed with a sound: "Program error... Detection failed... Reporting to the officer, preliminary detection of a general-purpose robot ahead... Detection failure, detection of a combat robot ahead... Detection failure, detection of a home nanny robot ahead..."
Officer Liu cursed, "That obvious muzzle? It's still a nanny robot! It malfunctioned at a critical moment!" Officer Liu kicked the robot fiercely in anger, gritting his teeth and saying, "Contact the rescue team immediately!"
Jiang Chan hid in front of a collapsed high wall. The surrounding ruins formed a natural shelter. She lay on the ruins, with only her head exposed to observe.
She clenched her fists nervously, her cheeks pale, and her black eyes fixed on every move of Yin Jia. He seemed to have been reinforced, his entire body covered with silver metal, and the fragile screen was replaced by dense bullet holes. The two eyes that usually emitted a gentle red light also emitted a scorching blue-purple light. Wherever he looked, even the grass and the ground were burning with raging flames.
Jiang Chan became worried for no reason.
She trusted Silver Armor's fighting ability, but she couldn't guarantee that Silver Armor could escape intact under the siege of the mechanical army. She suddenly hated her own powerlessness. If only she could turn into a robot and fight alongside Silver Armor, but she couldn't. The only thing she could do was hide well and not be caught by the mechanical army and become a bargaining chip to clamp Silver Armor.
The shells fired from the Silver Armor cannon were incredibly powerful. The mechanical army led by Officer Liu was no match for them. Officer Liu covered his severed arm and said grimly, "I never thought there was such a robot lurking in the Mechanical City! Even if the entire royal mechanical army were deployed, they might not be able to defeat it! We shouldn't engage it head-on now. We can always drain it until it runs out of power..."
"Is that a solar panel, officer?"
Officer Liu's eyes were filled with tears. At first, he thought it was just an ordinary combat robot, used to bluff people. What strategy could its owner, the young woman, possibly understand? But then he realized that the robot before him didn't obey the young woman's orders. It fought autonomously, requiring no special commands or programming. It could adjust its attack methods in real time based on their attack patterns. It was simply terrifying!
"Contact King, we seem to have encountered a super robot..."
Jiang Chan secretly cheered for Yin Jia, but just when the situation was about to end, a terrifying buzzing sound came from the sky. Jiang Chan looked up and saw several drones circling in the air. At the same time, in the distant center of the Mechanical City, a beam of dazzling fire shot straight into the sky. In the changes that could be observed with the naked eye, the clouds quickly gathered and collided, and dense dark clouds covered the sky, blocking the twilight, and the entire sky became heavy.
Jiang Chan gasped for breath, feeling a tightness in her chest. The Mechanical City already knew about Yin Jia's existence! Yin Jia was a robot, after all. Although he had a backup battery installed inside, it would eventually run out. When the sun was blocked, the solar panels on his head became useless, and he could only rely on his internal batteries to operate. Once the power ran out, they would be captured. Jiang Chan might die, and Yin Jia might have his memory wiped out, loyal to the royal family...
Compared to death, Jiang Chan was more afraid that Yin Jia would forget her.
She opened her eyes helplessly, crystal tears gathering and sliding down. At the moment the tears fell, a large amount of rain poured down. Yin Jia turned around in the gunfire and looked at Jiang Chan from a distance. Jiang Chan raised the corners of her mouth and showed a comforting smile. The moment Yin Jia turned around, the corners of her mouth suddenly sank, and she picked up the pile of rubble that was close at hand.
Both the Silver Armor and the Mechanical Army have waterproof settings, but the appliances in the rubble do not. Jiang Chan found the parts in the rubble and repaired the long-abandoned appliances. She repaired several spider-shaped cleaning robots, started the program, and the spider robots headed towards the location where Officer Liu was.
The mechanical army is not afraid of electric leakage, but humans have many weaknesses. Jiang Chan bit her lip and nervously paid attention to the surroundings of Silver Armor. The bombs dropped by the drones hindered Silver Armor's movement. No matter how indestructible the material was, it could not withstand the repeated attacks. The smooth and sleek metal shell of Silver Armor had dents of varying sizes. Jiang Chan was distressed. She didn't even have time to wipe away her tears. She avoided the ruins where electric leakage might occur and sped up to interfere with the royal human army.
It really worked! Officer Liu kept howling in pain. Jiang Chan pursed her lips, her expression serious. She was concentrating on repairing all the electrical appliances she could find, and she didn't notice a pair of eyes falling on her, a look full of resentment and hatred -
"We're not at an advantage in the battle against the robots, but it's easy to capture the woman on the other side. While the drones are surrounding the robots, capture that woman. She's killed many of our brothers!"
"yes!"
Jiang Chan was unconscious, the rain blurring her vision. Just as she sensed danger, a high-speed bullet suddenly whizzed past her ear, followed by a muffled groan. The strange man fell to her side with an unwilling look on his face, and she was instantly embraced by Yin Jia. Yin Jia's sturdy body made a clicking sound, and at the same time, a gentle mechanical voice rang out:
"Young Master, the silver armor is useless and has caused you to be injured."
Jiang Chan curled up in Yin Jia's arms. The shells ricocheted off his back, making a booming sound. However, Yin Jia held her firmly, as if nothing had happened. Jiang Chan cried, "Don't say that, Yin Jia. It's me who implicated you. I'm useless!" Her tears could not stop flowing. "Yin Jia, are you sure you can escape?"
"Silver Armor wants to destroy them all. Will the young master think that Silver Armor is cruel?"
Jiang Chan: "Yin Jia did this to protect me. Yin Jia had no choice. If I had your ability, I would destroy them all without hesitation. I only want Yin Jia and I to be safe. Nothing else is considered."
Silver Armor let out a soft laugh: "Little Master, Silver Armor likes you the most."
Jiang Chan felt like she was still in Yin Jia's arms, but the clicking sound beside her ears was not fake. The disassembled mechanical arms were reassembled into a small shelter large enough to accommodate Jiang Chan. The muzzle of the gun was thoughtfully left out, just to Jiang Chan's right. Jiang Chan stared at Yin Jia in a daze. Yin Jia bent down, and with only one arm, he gently stroked Jiang Chan's head. Then he put his hand to Jiang Chan's face, and his chest, which still had some residual heat from firing the artillery shells, made Jiang Chan feel the long-lost warmth.
"My young master." Yin Jia pressed his hand against her forehead, his robot-like kiss gentle, lingering, yet solemn. "Yin Jia will protect you. Yin Jia and my young master will never be separated."
Jiang Chan: "Silver Armor." Her eyes were full of dependence.
Even though he lost his right arm, Yin Jia's combat capability should not be underestimated. Jiang Chan used the cannon at hand to continuously assist Yin Jia to prevent him from being attacked by the mechanical army. More and more drones appeared, and the assistance of the mechanical army arrived quickly. The dark mass was like a dark cloud covering the sky. Jiang Chan bit her lip. She knew that Yin Jia had a trick up his sleeve. Those drones flying in the sky, Yin Jia could easily attack their systems, but he did not do that, which showed one thing, he was confusing the other side, making the other side send more help, and then destroy them in one fell swoop.
It has to be said that the super robot was very tempting to Louis. After he received the video from the scene, he almost immediately confirmed that it was Yu Nanhua's work. Too many questions emerged, but they were all overshadowed by the excitement aroused by the super robot. Louis couldn't wait to get it.
He sent out a large number of legions, and almost half of the royal family's forces were mobilized in this operation to capture the robot. Even the researchers of Dragon Technology were sent to watch remotely. They all showed fanatical pursuit of this robot that showed superior combat effectiveness.
After seeing the cannonballs fired by the Silver Armor, the researchers exclaimed in amazement, "It's truly formidable! It's been fighting for nearly four hours, yet it remains unscathed. Both its combat capabilities and defensive strategies are simply too formidable. If it were our enemy, we wouldn't have any chance of defeating it. If we could give it to us and improve it, it could definitely become the strongest robot!"
"Yes, tell the girl over there to stop fighting! It's too perfect! Oh! There's a dent on its back. Stop fighting quickly! We only want to get this robot. As for the girl, we can let her leave safely and even provide her with a better life..."
Jiang Chan turned a deaf ear and focused on bombarding the mechanical army. Just as the researcher cried out in pain for Yin Jia's injuries, the situation suddenly reversed. The drones that had originally covered the sky tightly, with the destructive power like a swarm of locusts, suddenly started to quarrel among themselves. Dozens of drones lost control, suddenly opened their bloody mouths and fell towards the crowded area. The drones in the sky were not spared and were smashed into pieces. At the same time, the mechanical army around Yin Jia made a noticeable jam.
"Virus intrusion detected... Checking and killing... Checking and killing... Kill... Kill... Kill..."
Along with the roar of the artillery shells, there was the same humming sound from the robots. Their internal programs malfunctioned, causing the commands from above to be unable to be executed in time. What was even more terrifying was that in order to ensure absolute possession of the robots, they were all equipped with self-destruct programs inside.
"Bang--"
"Bang--"
"Bang--"
The robots exploded one after another, and the already ruined west part of the city was bombed a second time. The ground suddenly collapsed, and the already shaky high-rise buildings collapsed to the ground like a melted cream cake in the blink of an eye.
The last scene Jiang Chan saw before she lost consciousness was a dark sky and earth, with dust flying all over the air and wailing incessantly. The most conspicuous robot was affected by the successive explosions. First, its mechanical arm shattered, then its mechanical legs, and even its mechanical head was crushed in the rubble. Jiang Chan's wide-open eyes were filled with fear. She wanted to run out and run to Yin Jia's side, but was firmly controlled by the space constructed by the metal right arm. Then, her sudden attack missed and she fainted.
