Chapter 408, Contaminated Zone 320 (Part Nine)
"What's it to you?"
Duan Xi had a splitting headache and his attitude was very sharp: "What Dark Guide? What does it have to do with you?"
"Yun Zhao is our teammate. She would never hurt us, no matter who she hurts."
The gatekeeper was rendered speechless by him, then turned around and waved his hand dismissively, "Get lost."
Hold!
He was scolded by the gatekeeper.
Duan Xi was furious and took a sudden step forward.
The moment he moved, a strong wave of dizziness hit him, causing him to stagger and almost fall.
The air-raid shelter crumbled into pieces, like a perfectly intact mirror breaking apart...
*
cellar.
Just as the mirror fragments were half-pieced together, Tao Haohao's loud shout came from the corridor.
"Captain! The robot has arrived!"
Zhuo Yu's voice followed immediately, "There are so many! Robots from all four directions are converging on this side. We must retreat immediately!"
The cellar was dark and cramped, with only one exit.
If they get stuck inside, they're all doomed.
Yun Zhao's heart tightened, and the shards of mirror in her hand slipped unconsciously, making a soft sound.
The sound seemed particularly jarring in the tense atmosphere.
Upon hearing the Gatling gun, Fu Meng immediately gave the order, "Withdraw!"
"Take all these fragments with you." Xie Tu immediately grabbed Yun Zhao.
Upon hearing this, Qi Ling offered his backpack.
His black-gloved hands swept the half-finished pieces and the remaining fragments into his backpack.
Song Liang and Zhao Xinlei held the larger pieces in their hands.
The sentries quickly gathered their equipment, and the group made an emergency evacuation toward the exit.
Fu Mou grabbed Qu Xingzhou by the collar and rushed out of the side room, leading the way.
Qu Xingzhou stumbled as she pulled him, his expression one of utter helplessness, as he tried his best to maintain his balance and keep up.
Two heavily damaged armored vehicles were parked in the grove.
The Fuhman squad was the first to jump onto their armored vehicle, followed closely by the Zero squad.
The roar of the engine instantly filled the air.
As soon as Yun Zhao settled in, the two armored vehicles shot off like arrows.
Xie Tu climbed onto the roof of the car to give directions.
Tao Haohao went to the passenger seat to provide fire support.
With two team members missing, only she and Qi Ling were left in the back seat, making the space feel exceptionally empty.
"This is fucking damn bad! This goalkeeper doesn't give us any breathing room at all."
Tao Haohao pointed the cannon out of the vehicle and couldn't help but curse, "We've all been made such a mess of things, are you sure there are any survivors in this contaminated area?"
The sniper is missing, the scout is wounded and missing, and the guide's abilities are completely suppressed.
"And what's with this 'Safe House 03'? Where's it safe?" Tao Haohao kept complaining.
Yun Zhao said, "Perhaps it was safe before the mirror shards appeared in the cellar."
The robots are attracted, most likely because they are using their abilities.
Qu Xingzhou's mental energy was captured by the robot's device, which in turn attracted all the robots to chase after him.
If it were an ordinary person, they could probably stay there for a long time.
"Who put those mirror shards inside?"
Song Liang was very concerned about this point, "Safe House 03 looks like a trap no matter how you look at it."
Xie Tu observed the surroundings from the roof of the car, trying to find a new way out, when a voice came, "These two gatekeepers can't possibly get along peacefully."
"They should be in a balance of power now, with none able to devour the others. Our arrival has disrupted that balance."
Xie Tu continued, "The gatekeeper of number 249 didn't know where the other one was at the time, which suggests that the gatekeepers were hiding their tracks from each other."
He slowly revealed his speculation: "The robots may not only be looking for us, but also for another gatekeeper."
Yun Zhao was taken aback, then realized, "You suspect that another gatekeeper has appeared? Is that why all the robots were mobilized?"
Based on her previous guesses, one of the gatekeepers was Han Dadao, and the other should be Jingzi.
But now it seems she guessed wrong.
The mirror... is that Han Da Dao?
"It's just a suspicion," Xie Tu said.
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time had a vague sense of unease.
Han Dadao won't kill Rabbit, Duan Xi, or Lin Yu, but why did he pull them into the mirror?
The sound of metal clashing grew closer.
The mechanical footsteps echoed through the empty city, sending chills down one's spine.
Xie Tu looked up at the city hanging upside down above him, his gaze finally settling on the tops of the buildings.
The gears turn at a steady, uniform speed.
According to the original plan, they were supposed to find a way to destroy the gears.
But now three team members are missing, disrupting the plan. The most urgent task is to find them.
Xie Tu informed Fu Heng ahead, "First, shake off the robots and find a mirrored building to hide in."
The streets are the robots' domain.
Previously, I was afraid of getting close to the mirror because I was worried about something happening.
But now, for them, the mirrored buildings are a must-see.
"good!"
Fuqi responded.
She has raised her Gatling gun and launched an attack.
A barrage of gunfire erupted.
Aim at the robot's knee, which is hurtling towards you.
The bullet, accompanied by a scorching jet of air, sliced through the air and struck the target's joint with pinpoint accuracy.
The robot, struck, froze, a faint spark escaping from its knee. It lost its balance and collapsed to the ground.
The cold robot, its eyes glowing blue, quickly used its arms to support its heavy body and slowly got up.
No matter how they attacked, they only slightly slowed its approach.
The armored vehicle suddenly accelerated, intending to force its way through.
Just as they were about to enter within ten meters, and brushed past each other, the robot's arm's energy beam was aimed at the armored vehicle.
"Lie down!" Xie Tu shouted into the car.
Yun Zhao and Qi Ling bent down at the same time.
The car body started shaking violently.
"Damn it!" Song Liang cursed.
The energy beam struck an observation window, shattering the glass instantly.
Glass shards, like sharp blades, flew into the car, making a crackling sound.
Xie Tu jumped into the carriage at some point and rushed over to protect the person who was lying on the seat.
Qi Ling waved her hands repeatedly, turned her head and said, "I'm fine..."
He was a mutant and was wearing a cloak made of special materials, so these glass shards couldn't possibly hurt him.
But it seems he was just being presumptuous.
The person being protected by the captain was not him.
Qi Ling: "..."
The two armored vehicles passed through smoothly.
Xie Tu pulled Yun Zhao up to check if she had any wounds.
He calmed down after finding that she was not injured and climbed back onto the roof of the car.
Yun Zhao sat up straight and looked up to meet Qi Ling's gaze.
They remained silent.
The mirrored city overhead acted like a dynamic navigation map, guiding the two armored vehicles along their route.
Safety left all the robots behind.
Just when everyone thought they could get out of the crisis for the time being.
Fuyu discovered that the city, which hung upside down in the sky, suddenly split into three irregular geometric shapes.
Ahead lay a straight street; the city's structure had suddenly undergone a dramatic change.
Zhuo Yu quickly swerved the steering wheel to avoid it.
The two vehicles were forcibly separated amidst a sharp screech of brakes.
Song Liang watched helplessly as the car in front of him changed direction and drove onto another road...
