Chapter 109 The War of Civilizations 9
There's definitely something wrong. Either Xiao Guo is bluffing and has some other trick up his sleeve, or she's been misled and can't trust them.
"Ji Wei, we'll follow you in a bit," Lin Xia said in the group chat. "You lead the way."
"Ah, Seventh Sister, are you sure?" Ji Wei knew she was indeed lucky, but she thought that this time in the game, she could finally rely on her skills...
“I’m certain that the machine race surpasses humans in terms of planning, calculation, and even intelligence. No matter how skilled they are at scheming, they may not necessarily win. In this situation, metaphysics is more reliable.” Lin Xia’s words surprised A-Tong for a moment.
Xie Cheng glanced at Ji Wei and nodded emphatically: "Yes, metaphysics is very reliable."
A-Tong seemed to be deep in thought. It seemed that Ji Wei had a lucky talent, and a very strong one at that. Even Lin Xia could say that it was a reliable metaphysical statement. The way A-Tong looked at Lin Xia was also very strange.
She thought Lin Xia was very independent, but she didn't expect her to think about relying on other people's abilities. That's good, it will help her live longer.
Ji Wei's eyes lit up, and he puffed out his chest: "Don't worry, it's absolutely reliable."
As if receiving some kind of command, all the nanobots surged toward them, including the group with the crew cut.
But there was no resistance, including from the robots. Everyone, including the robots, silently disappeared into the insect's mouth.
A silent terror gripped Ji Wei, who touched his arm and shivered.
Those on the outer perimeter immediately summoned their mechs and fired shells, which did manage to stop some of the insects. However, once the insects got close, the sturdy mechs were quickly devoured, like nuts, with a crackling sound, along with the people inside...
Everyone became alert, and some were at a loss, looking at Xiao Guo. Since they joined the army, the biggest weapon they had ever encountered was the mecha. All the weapons were made of metal, and at this moment they had almost no ability to resist.
Xiao Guo's expression also darkened. Her brows furrowed, and without any visible movement, the weapons formed from her mental energy unleashed a series of attacks, sending the nanodevouring insects flying and quickly clearing the area around everyone.
The nanodevouring insects all stopped, and only then could everyone see that these insects were incredibly small. If it weren't for the massive number of insects gathered together, their existence would have been completely undetectable.
"You stay, everyone else can leave." A mechanical voice rang out, and everyone heard it.
All eyes turned to Xiao Guo, whose face was solemn. She didn't understand what was going on or why her spiritual intuition had disappeared.
She glanced at Lin Xia thoughtfully. Now it seemed that Lin Xia's nervousness just now was not only because she had been discovered, but also because she had probably sensed that something was wrong.
Her mental power is clouded; the path, the effect, and the duration are all unknown. Therefore, she is not in a position to make any decisions at this time.
She decisively looked at Lin Xia: "You take command!"
Lin Xia knew that Xiao Guo had discovered the problem, but she didn't say anything, as she didn't have time at the moment.
"Ji Wei, direction." Lin Xia glanced at Ji Wei.
"This way!" Ji Wei pointed decisively; at this moment, she only needed to trust her intuition.
Xiao Guo glanced at Ji Wei, said nothing, and sent his spiritual energy in that direction, leading everyone to break through.
She whispered to Lin Xia, "Don't move."
The people here only glanced at Lin Xia and Ji Wei, no one said anything, and just followed along.
"They really do follow orders without question," Xie Cheng remarked in the group chat.
Xiao Guo led the way; her mental power was indeed immense. After creating some distance, everyone took out their mechs and flew into the sky.
"Don't fly too high!" Lin Xia had barely finished speaking.
'Boom!' A mech shot into the sky and exploded into fireworks on a net.
As everyone saw, at the moment of impact, an invisible net that had been obscuring the entire sky became visible.
Xiao Guo possessed immense spiritual power and discovered that almost the entire planet was enveloped by this net. Her face darkened, and she had no choice but to admit that she had suffered a crushing defeat, leading the planet's geniuses into a dead end.
But she didn't know where things went wrong. No matter how she thought about it, she shouldn't have made such a mistake. Even if she had acted foolishly, the leaders of various countries wouldn't allow themselves to take away their nation's top geniuses...
So, what exactly went wrong? Her eyes were bloodshot, and her mental energy was flailing wildly. Lin Xia noticed her problem immediately, grabbed her hand, and used mental energy to transmit a message: "Captain Xiao, calm down!"
Xiao Guo closed her eyes briefly, then opened them again, her gaze calm as she looked at Lin Xia: "Continue."
The two looked at Ji Wei, who quickly raised his hand and pointed in a direction. The group took out their mechs, flew up, and flew at low altitude.
At this moment, Lin Xia heard Xiao Guo transmit his voice: "I don't know why you are unaffected, nor do I know what exactly happened, but in any case, you must lead them away. You are the hope for the future of humanity."
Lin Xia remained silent. She was not their hope, never had been. Her own world was still crumbling...
A group of people flew at high speed, but some were forced to abandon their mechs and be carried away by their teammates to escape because they were being eaten by the nanobots.
Lin Xia glanced at Xie Cheng, who nodded. His metal powers silently extended, and Lin Xia carried Xie Cheng's mecha forward.
"These nanomechanical insects have tiny chips in their brains; they are controlled by the machine race," Xie Cheng said in the group chat, wiping away sweat.
"Don't make a move!" Lin Xia said just in time. Xie Cheng regained control of the mecha and asked, puzzled, "Are you afraid that the beings here will discover your abilities?"
Lin Xia nodded: "Don't take any risks. Even if we're exposed, let's save it for the last moment."
"It's only the fourth day. I thought we were going to have a great interstellar battle, but I didn't expect we'd still have to run away. These cool mechs won't even have a chance to fight before they're going to be scrapped." A-Tong felt extremely regretful.
Lin Xia continuously channeled her mental energy through the four people's mechs, brushing away the nanomechanical insects that had gotten on them.
"This way!" Ji Wei suddenly turned around, and Xiao Guo frowned and followed after Lin Xia, who turned and left without hesitation.
Suddenly, a black hole appeared in the space where they had just left, and swarms of insects fell out. If they hadn't turned around, they would have been hit directly, with no way to avoid it.
Xiao Guo looked at Ji Wei with suspicion, but no longer doubted Ji Wei's direction. A Tong also looked at Ji Wei in surprise. It was indeed very mysterious, but really amazing!
A group of people darted back and forth on this desolate planet. With Ji Wei's guidance, they were always able to avoid the sudden attacks of the mechanical insects.
But human mental strength is not limitless, and the supplies they brought were already scarce, and now they are running out of resources.
Suddenly, Ji Wei and Lin Xia vanished into thin air. Xiao Guo was surprised but saw nothing unusual.
Xie Cheng and A Tong exchanged a glance, then rushed towards the spot where the two had disappeared, their figures vanishing in an instant.
