Chapter 201: By some coincidence, do you think he was forced?
The group left in a mighty procession. When they arrived, the gate of the Iron Castle had already been opened with a bang. Several interstellar predators in the distance looked at them curiously.
The gate was closed again, and the guards in charge of patrolling and guarding immediately shouted harshly.
"Who are you? This is..."
Before he could finish his words, a bloody whirlwind swept up, and the entire team turned into corpses on the ground in an instant. Sislang licked them with his tongue covered with tiny barbs.
Rob's face was expressionless as the Collector's guards fell one after another, with almost no force able to stop them.
The last group of people pushed each other and stared at the group in fear, with the castle gate behind them.
The door was pushed open with a bang.
"Rob? It's you!"
Hortan looked gloomy, and the remaining guards followed him and were waiting in the castle hall.
"Lord Huotan." Rob smiled. "There's no need to say more. We dared to take action, so we must have anticipated the outcome."
"Cassis is away attending to an emergency. You should be the only one in the castle."
"The security system has been shut down." Huo Tan's face darkened slightly. "You were prepared."
Otherwise, the large number of automatic defense turrets and traps would be enough to give this group of people a hard time.
Rob showed a sinister smile: "Hotan, we are acquaintances. I hope you can be more sensible. Without you, we might have to spend more effort to find His Excellency Qinglong."
Azure Dragon? Trouble...
Huo Tan's expression was tense, but he only said two words, "Delusion!"
With a crackling sound, the suit on Huotan's body exploded into pieces. What was surprising was that his limbs were made of metal machinery, with only his elbows covered with camouflage skin.
Rob was not surprised at all. He squinted his eyes and saw layers of golden arcs spreading from Hotan's body, covering him like real ripples, and the mechanical limbs around him quickly opened.
When the ripples spread to three meters, they quickly rolled back and gathered around Huotan. His mechanical limbs were completely opened, and his whole body was stretched much taller, and substantial golden arcs burst out.
"A Class B life form with nearly 100% development progress, plus modifications to its entire body and limbs, this kind of strength..."
Huo Tan's eyes were cold, and he rushed forward like a rapidly charging locomotive.
boom!
In a flash, Rob exerted force with his feet, and red lava gushed out from his body. Flames gushed out like tides, and at a speed invisible to the naked eye, it outlined a huge flaming beast, like a giant lizard.
Driven by this lava giant lizard, Rob's speed increased dramatically. The ground in the hall trembled and twisted. Surprisingly, he did not crack at the first time. The material he used was also extraordinary.
Almost in an instant, it flew over dozens of meters, and then the lava monitor lizard suddenly stopped. With the help of inertia, the giant tail behind it swung at an even more terrifying speed. The red hammer head at the end of the tail rose from behind it and smashed down with a bang, and the lava monitor lizard roared.
Boom!!
The substantial ripples spread out like ripples, and cracks appeared on the metal ground and gradually spread.
Under this blow, Rob's body remained motionless, but Hotan was knocked away.
Woo~
But then, Rob felt a tremor under his feet and the ground was shaking violently. Hotan, who was knocked away, jumped up, and his two mechanical arms extended, turning into a pair of giant claws, whistling through the wind, and tore straight towards him.
"Looking for death!" Rob sneered.
Suddenly, the rushing Huo Tan suddenly froze in mid-air. The mechanical limbs all over his body were trembling, and veins on both sides of his cheeks were bulging, as if an invisible force was restraining him.
At some point, in the shadows on both sides of the hall, Froza was holding a huge equilateral triangle mechanical suction cup, which was emitting a faint blue light.
"Let me go!" Rob suddenly swung his tail, and Hotan, who was frozen in place, rushed over like a meteor.
Froza groaned and retreated repeatedly.
And Hotan's body was already pressed tightly against the suction cup, and the huge gravity and traction held him tightly.
Heavy black alloy rings popped out from the hands, feet and torso, locking them in place.
This was some kind of special mechanical shackle, with pipes extending from both sides and inserted into his spine.
"Watch out, he can't die." Rob, who had turned into a normal life form, said indifferently.
…
On the Trading Island, in a suite in a hotel somewhere, eight B-level life forms from the Torch Organization had been waiting here for a long time.
The leader had gray hair, deep grooves on both sides of his nose, and gray-brown skin like weathered stone. He lowered his head and was wiping the gun and long sword on his body with black oil.
"Clint!" someone suddenly shouted. "News has come in. Ulrich will be leaving soon for Sandro's territory."
"The return time is unknown. If nothing unexpected happens, it will take at least five hours."
Clint paused, his voice hoarse, "Get ready, action in half an hour."
"yes…"
The eight people were of different races, but all were very calm.
Half an hour passed quickly. They did not leave the hotel together, but met in groups of two or three at a street corner outside the Iron Castle.
Clint's expression was calm. "According to the data, this castle uses a giant shield [Cosmic-level protective shield]. It would take an extremely long time to tear it apart head-on."
"Bachet, particle cutter."
A life form with a bag on its back came forward from the back and took out an oval cutter and a detector.
After opening it, he began to look for the boundary of the energy shield.
"Huh?" He was stunned and said hesitantly: "Clint, I can't find the energy shield."
"Can't find it?" Clint frowned. After taking the detector and putting it on his head, the world became clear. There was indeed no trace of the energy shield's particle reaction...
"How could this happen?" Clint still didn't believe it. He spread out his palms, and the ochre sand flow gathered together, condensed into round small stones, and then suddenly smashed out.
With a bang, the small stone hit the steel wall without causing any energy reaction.
"Is the energy shield really gone?" Clint hesitated, keenly aware that something was wrong.
"What should we do?" Everyone looked over.
Clint thought for a moment, then added, "Try to hack into their surveillance system."
"Hack directly?" The operative in charge of this part of the plan was puzzled.
"Hack directly." Clint didn't explain too much. The man nodded, glanced at the surveillance camera on the metal fence, and threw out an electromagnet.
With a barely perceptible click, the smart terminal opened. After a few operations, he was also surprised and said, "How could this happen?"
"Hackered?" Clint asked quickly.
"No, like these surveillance cameras have stopped operating. Their security system is turned off?"
"Are they ours?"
Everyone looked increasingly suspicious, but Clint wasn't too surprised. "Sure enough..."
"Something must have happened in the castle. Proceed as planned." Clint emphasized again, "Be more careful. Remember, our goal is to capture him, not to harm him."
"If anyone catches him, leave the retreat route immediately. Everyone else should leave if they can. If they can't, find a place to hide and wait for an opportunity to escape. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
………
"Ha..." Rob laughed, looking at the screen in front of him, "The place where Qinglong is imprisoned is indeed an independent system."
On the mechanical suction cup behind him, Huo Tan had been tortured beyond recognition, his vision blurred. He whispered, "You have an insider in the castle, a high-ranking one at that. Who is it?"
"You don't have to worry about this." Rob glanced at the operating table.
"You can't open it. Wait until the master comes back..." Huo Tan said intermittently.
"Ha..." Rob said disapprovingly, "This laboratory was converted from the safe of the Giant Shield Company."
"Once the external power supply and system are cut off, it will automatically lock. Even if it is a Class A lifeform, it will take some time to force it open."
"However, you probably haven't read the human rights regulations in their system. Before the power goes out, they will check whether there are any living organisms inside."
"Once detected, it cannot be opened from the outside, but it can be opened from the inside."
There's such a rule? Huo Tan's pupils contracted, and then he couldn't help but cry out in surprise, realizing something was wrong: "Qinglong reached an agreement with you?"
No wonder this guy has been doing nothing. He is not thinking about the repair plan at all, but waiting for Rob and others to take action.
Rob sneered. "Oh, he was caught by Ulrich, held captive, and then forced to come to the castle and be imprisoned. He was forced to work for you. What makes you think he'll be obedient?"
"Ulrich's brain is really not working well."
"Do you think he was forced?" Huo Tan's voice rose several degrees, and then became even more creepy, and a biting cold spread throughout his body.
How could he be forced?
Hortan shuddered, realizing suddenly that Ulrich's premonition was correct.
Qinglong came with a purpose!
Rob was probably fooled. Once Qinglong was released, he would immediately run away with the [Matter Reorganization Device].
Rob was checking the console and quickly found the button to cut off the power.
But at this moment, a barely perceptible click suddenly came from behind, accompanied by Frosa's exclamation.
Rob turned his head subconsciously, and the last thing he saw was the metal limbs hanging on the mechanical suction cups, while the torso had disappeared.
Then, boom!
Fiery flames exploded from the metal limbs and instantly swept across the entire room. The violent explosion spread, and a strong wind suddenly arose. The energy was endless, and the terrible high temperature distorted the air and melted the electronic screens.
BANG!!
Suddenly, the accumulated energy exploded a second time, even louder than before. Flames and smoke spread at high speed, shattering the metal walls and then sweeping across the entire floor.
From afar, one layer of the Iron Castle erupted in blazing flames, and smoke rings spread. The looters on the trading island looked up in shock.
In the room, Rob's skin was burning with pain and his face looked ugly. He took a deep breath, and all the flames gathered together and were swallowed into his stomach.
The surroundings were in a mess, and everyone's skin was charred black. He looked at the mechanical suction cup that had fallen to the ground and said coldly, "Frosa..."
“No, it wasn’t me…” Froza got up, his body charred, and hurriedly explained: “His torso suddenly fell off his limbs, and I didn’t react…”
This kind of self-destruction has a very large range and is not enough to kill a single target, but they are all B-level life forms and they survived.
"It's too noisy, hurry up!" Rob didn't have time to pursue the matter. Fortunately, he cut off the energy supply at the last moment. Now he only needed to go and support Qinglong.
At the same time, Huo Tan, who had obtained spare limbs, had a gloomy face and was taking a secret elevator to the bottom floor, while quickly operating the elevator page.
"Qinglong..." Huo Tan regretted that he discovered this mechanic because of him.
If it weren't for my suggestion, the adults wouldn't have gotten into so much trouble.
Sandro's goal is probably also the [Matter Reorganization Device].
I'm afraid the adults won't be able to get back for a while, I'm not Rob and the others.
Huo Tan gritted his teeth, his expression gloomy. "If my lord can't have it, then none of you can hope to have it!"
He had made up his mind. He couldn't stop Rob and others, but he could kill Qinglong!
bite--
The elevator opened and the vault door was right in front of him. Huotan took a deep breath, the electric arc surged, the structure opened, and the mechanical structure on his legs also unfolded, forming a base similar to a turret support.
The arms folded together, and the mechanical structure extended inch by inch, forming an energy track-like cavity in the center. Many high-end mechanical modifications have this kind of energy storage attack module.
This is one of the advantages of mechanically modified bodies, as they can carry and store more energy than living beings at the same level.
Although this is a spare limb and is not as efficient as the previous mechanical limb, it is equally powerful when used for a sneak attack.
Finally, his abdomen was opened, revealing a beating mechanical secondary heart.
He did not undergo a complete mechanized transformation, and many organs were still retained, so he could not completely transform his heart into an energy engine. He could only install a mechanical secondary heart to power his mechanical limbs.
Buzz--
With the buzzing sound, the energy became more and more intense, and the barrel gradually turned red. Huo Tan clenched his teeth, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Staring at the hatch, waiting for the moment it opens.
However, as time passed, there was no movement at the hatch. Huo Tan was getting anxious. The energy-accumulating attack also had a time limit, and he did not have much time to waste here.
Why hasn’t he come out yet? Aren’t you going to join forces with Robley?
"Excuse me, Lord Hortan, what are you doing?"
A familiar voice suddenly came to his ears, and Huo Tan's expression froze, his eyes filled with horror.
“Wh, when!?”
He tried hard to turn his head, but it was almost impossible because of his current strong energy posture.
"You seem to be having trouble turning around. Let me help you." The voice was gentle. Huo Tan felt a hand on his head, and then...
Snap!
His vision spun 180 degrees, the intense pain provoked his nerves, and what appeared before his eyes was none other than the great mechanic he was familiar with - Qinglong!
How...how could this be? My detection equipment clearly didn’t respond at all!
Huotan couldn't understand it and didn't know when the other party appeared behind him.
The body shook violently, and the energy cannon that had been accumulated for a long time was fired uncontrollably.
boom!
The blazing beam of light fell on the wall of the laboratory, and after a brief shock, it blasted a large hole.
how so?
Huo Tan, who was lying on the ground, had a dazed look on his face. Everything that happened today kept refreshing his cognition.
The alloy that was designed to withstand attacks from A-level life forms was actually blasted with a big hole by itself?
