Chapter 198 Your Package Has Arrived
Caesar stood behind the wooden box, but he wouldn't let Situ Linchen succeed.
The space in front of him suddenly distorted.
A deep spatial rift suddenly opened, and the beams of the floating cannons were swallowed up by the spatial gate as if they had disappeared into thin air.
At that moment, a loud explosion suddenly came from above the secret room.
The other side of the spatial rift appeared on the ceiling.
There, hovered a formation of attack drones.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The floating cannons accurately hit the control center of the drone swarm.
"Situ Linchen, you damaged my drone."
Zhou Zhiheng's furious voice rang out from outside the broken wall. He was dressed in a black combat suit and arrived at the scene with another team of land combat robots.
The armed medium-sized drone, having lost its signal, crashed towards the ground.
Their landing point was precisely in the direction of the wooden box.
Zhou Zhiheng rushed towards Ning Shuyin, picked her up, and leaped several meters away: "Danger! Don't get hit by those drones!"
Just as the several-ton fuselage was about to smash the small wooden box into pieces, Loran suddenly raised the launcher on his arm.
“A physical impact would destroy it completely. I'll help you get the things out.”
He launched a flexible metal net.
It wasn't to save the wooden box.
His thought was that while physical attacks were certainly violent, what if the wooden box couldn't be broken or could be repaired?
He had already secretly laid a corrosive liquid in a corner of the secret room.
After the metal mesh pulled the wooden box out, the angle was just right to hit Caesar.
With a clever leverage, the wooden box will slide towards the strong acid that can even turn high-strength alloys into water.
He could also blame Caesar for crashing the thing.
Caesar, with his vast experience, had already seen through Lorraine's scheme.
He flashed away: "Ning Shuyin, I'll help you save her too."
Caesar teleported directly to the stone slab. Before the Loran metal mesh landed, he grabbed the wooden box.
But the wooden box in his hand was a hot potato for him. He couldn't very well return it to Ning Shuyin after he got it.
"Ugh, this box is so slippery!" Caesar exclaimed suddenly after teleporting out.
The wooden box flew out of his hand like a bar of soap.
The box's target was Situ Linchen, who was standing opposite him.
Given Situ Linchen's reaction speed, seizing this box would be a piece of cake.
He looked at the incoming box, and the first thought that flashed through his mind was to crush it!
But no, Ning Shuyin is watching.
In that mere 0.01 seconds, he had already completed a complete set of combat decisions.
His mecha arm stretched out stiffly, as if it had cramped up.
The box bounced off his arm armor and rolled into the corridor outside the secret chamber.
"Caesar, what are you throwing around like that?" Situ Linchen scolded angrily. "I didn't catch it."
Just as the four were about to rush into the dark corridor and carry out the destruction where she couldn't see them, the entire ruins shook violently as if an earthquake had struck.
[Warning! Abnormal energy detected approaching! Non-Alliance unit approaching; armed preparations recommended.]
Situ Linchen's command terminal emitted a battle alarm.
Ning Shuyin had already detected it first: "It's the Mechanical Race!"
In the dimly lit corridor and the quiet, secluded room, all the thick stone walls were suddenly torn apart like pieces of paper.
Countless silver-gray mechanical bodies rushed in.
They have humanoid torsos and limbs that are sharp alloy blades.
“It’s a mechanical hunter.” Situ Linchen immediately recognized the enemy’s identity.
"High-dimensional source material detected. Execute the seizure order," the mechanical warrior announced in an electronic voice.
"Bang!" Situ Linchen's floating cannon had already unleashed a fatal blow.
Loran activates all her enhanced abilities and links with Situ Linchen.
The robot warriors behind Zhou Zhiheng surrounded Ning Shuyin, forming a protective circle.
Caesar lashed out with his field whip, snapping the mechanical arm that was reaching for the wooden box in two.
The severed arm flew out, and the wooden box was overturned by the blast wave.
This time, no one slipped. All four men wanted to destroy the box; they couldn't let the contents fall into enemy hands.
Battle broke out.
The four men did not forget to protect Ning Shuyin, and a large number of mechanical remains slowly piled up on the ground. But new warriors continued to rush forward.
Loran looked at the tireless steel warriors with disgust.
"How come we can't kill all these pieces of junk?"
Just as Situ Linchen had activated the Starship above the ruins, preparing to launch a long-range strike—
Sizzle!
An even louder metallic scraping sound came from above.
The top of his head was completely black.
An even larger legion of black mechanical machines arrived. They were painted in a deep black, and the new emperor's emblem was imprinted on their chests.
The black legion landed, but did not attack them.
They all swung their particle blades at the group of silver-white stealthy hunters.
"Rebel signals detected. Execute the purge."
The once fierce hunters were like fragile toys in front of this black legion.
"What's going on?" Caesar stopped what he was doing. "Internal strife?"
Situ Linchen's gaze was deep. He put away his spear and remained vigilantly in front of Ning Shuyin.
In no time, the silver-clad hunters on the field had been completely wiped out.
But the temperature at this site is getting lower and lower.
A powerful pressure descended from the sky.
All the black mechanical warriors simultaneously sheathed their swords and bowed: "Welcome the new emperor."
A tall, slender figure landed on the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
The smoke and dust cleared.
The figure slowly stood up.
His white hair cascaded down his back, and his face was as cold and stern as a god. Behind him were a pair of steel wings, the symbol of the mechanical emperor.
Klose.
He was holding a brown, old wooden box firmly in his hand.
The worst has happened. The item wasn't destroyed; instead, it fell into the hands of the most dangerous new emperor of the mechanical race.
Situ Linchen gripped the spear tightly in his hand.
A major battle is imminent.
"Kross, put down that box," Situ Linchen said coldly.
Kross's emotionless golden eyes swept over the four men in front of him, a hint of contempt flashing in them.
His gaze was fixed on only one person, Ning Shuyin, who was being protected by the others.
The four men entered full combat mode.
But this new emperor of the mechanical race, who struck fear into the hearts of the entire intergalactic world, suddenly had a pious look in his eyes.
"Owner."
He held the wooden box in both hands and knelt on one knee. The pair of steel wings behind him also drooped obediently to the ground.
“Him?” Situ Linchen turned to Ning Shuyin.
He didn't say it aloud, but his eyes made it clear that he was asking her if it was true or false.
She had previously stated that her master-servant contract with Kross had ended. If his submission was feigned or an act, then another great battle was yet to come.
“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you the truth before. Our master-servant agreement isn’t over yet. He is real,” Ning Shuyin replied.
She stepped forward and took the wooden box from Clos's hands.
The four men who had been prepared to fight to the death were now filled with regret. They had gone to such lengths to stage this whole charade; if they had just destroyed the device earlier, none of this would have happened.
The box was safely delivered to her.
She's leaving.
