Chapter 105: Chapter 88: Appearing
The three were stunned when they saw the tall woman who had just appeared command her Apple-Eating Deer to use the skill "Seed Entanglement." A single seed shot out, instantly transforming into countless vines that enveloped a Car Robot.
After easily subduing the Car Robot, the Apple-Eating Deer used another skill, "Thorn Stake." Two thick vines, like a pair of steel awls, pierced into the Car Robot’s body.
ZZT... ZZT...
After a shower of sparks and crackles of electricity, the Car Robot stopped struggling. It went completely still, and even the crimson light in its eyes went out.
’Just like that... it’s dead?’
Chujiang River, Zhu Guanyu, and Niu Aihua all witnessed this. Their eyes went wide in unison, their faces filled with disbelief.
Even though each of these robots wasn’t particularly strong on its own—the very bottom of the barrel among the Dominator Level—a weak Dominator Level was still a Dominator Level. In a one-on-one fight, even if their main Pet Beasts could gain the upper hand, they couldn’t defeat one so easily.
But what was this scene before them?
A Dominator Level robot had been defeated so effortlessly, so casually, by just two of the tall woman’s Apple-Eating Deer’s Skills!
If it hadn’t happened right before their very eyes, they never would have believed it.
Once they snapped out of their shock, joy appeared on all three of their faces. The fact that this suddenly-appeared tall woman was so powerful was definitely a good thing for them.
They already had their suspicions. Besides wondering about the mysterious tall woman’s identity, they were ninety percent sure she was from the Public Security Bureau. Another crucial point was that her Level had likely reached High-level Dominator!
Otherwise, it would be impossible to instantly kill a Tier One Dominator robot so easily, even if the Apple-Eating Deer was a dual-attribute Wood and Life Element Pet Beast.
Seeing a glimmer of hope for victory, the trio’s will to fight surged. Their teamwork wasn’t bad either. They commanded their respective Pet Beasts, unsparingly unleashing all sorts of Skills... and for a moment, they actually started to turn the tide.
Right now, they weren’t worried about whether they could sustain such an aggressive fighting style.
They just had to hold on for a little while. Once the tall woman’s fight was over, she would surely come to their aid.
That’s what they thought, and they were half right. The tall woman didn’t take long to deal with five Car Robots.
However, her next move after finishing off the five robots left them dumbfounded.
She didn’t come to help them. Instead, she rushed toward the reservoir at top speed.
"Holy crap, that woman! She’s just leaving us to die! She’s no good!" Zhu Guanyu couldn’t help but curse when he saw this.
Hearing this, beads of sweat formed on Chujiang River’s forehead. "Old Zhu, you’d better watch your mouth. Be careful she doesn’t hear you. Based on what we just saw, ten of you wouldn’t be a match for her."
"Watch my mouth? It’s a fact that she’s leaving us to die, and she’s supposed to be a public servant..." Zhu Guanyu had no intention of shutting up, still grumbling indignantly.
Niu Aihua couldn’t stand it and spoke up fairly, "It’s a good thing she’s rushing to the reservoir to check for any problems. Besides, she drew away two of the robots, which reduces the pressure on us."
It was true. Just now, as the tall woman was leaving, two of the Car Robots that had been attacking them had followed her.
The two Car Robots had clearly gone to stop the tall woman. While this greatly reduced the pressure on the trio, it also gave them a faint sense of unease.
The fact that two robots went to stop her was enough to prove that the enemy likely had plans for the reservoir as well.
And, just as they had guessed, the truth was revealed.
「Five minutes earlier.」
Inside the power plant building next to the reservoir, Niu Fenjin, who had just been discharged from the hospital, met up with Zhu Bingqing and Chu Xiran. The three of them had solemn expressions, ready for battle.
Niu Fenjin was supposed to stay in the hospital for a while longer—after all, his injuries hadn’t fully healed. But the situation had taken a sharp turn for the worse, forcing him to return to the front lines while still injured.
As the three of them lay in wait inside the factory building, they soon received reports about the chaos in the city. Seeing the news, Chu Xiran couldn’t help but frown. "It seems tonight won’t be a peaceful one."
"And we’ll likely be cut off and left without support," Zhu Bingqing added.
"We have a defensive line formed by three of our family seniors up ahead. The Mechanical Desecration Association shouldn’t be able to break through, right?" Niu Fenjin said, but his voice lacked confidence.
He knew full well that if the Mechanical Desecration Association was determined to break through, the blockade formed by the three seniors wouldn’t hold for long.
And as for them—three Commander Level Beast Masters who had just recently broken through—they were supposedly the last line of defense. In reality, this line was so fragile it could barely offer any protection at all.
Its main purpose was to serve as a bluff.
That’s right. The Unstable Rift wasn’t actually in this factory complex.
At the moment, only Chu Xiran knew this. She was the one in charge of the operation at the factory!
Inside the factory, while the three were still discussing, a loud explosion mixed with a distinct bird cry suddenly reached their ears.
"That’s the Firebird on patrol!" Niu Fenjin called out the instant he heard the sound.
The Firebird was his Pet Beast, a Tier Two Commander. He had positioned it to circle and stand guard above the factory complex.
The Firebird’s reaction at this moment made the situation perfectly clear... It had encountered an enemy.
Hearing the sharp, violent bird cry and the explosion, the hearts of all three skipped a beat.
"Not good! They broke through the defensive line formed by the three seniors after all!" After crying out in alarm, Niu Fenjin didn’t dare to hesitate for a second and immediately ran toward the factory gate.
When he reached the factory gate and saw the five helicopters hovering in the air, he couldn’t help but press a hand to his forehead.
’I knew it. The defensive line built by the three family seniors wasn’t going to stop all the attacks that easily.’
Then, before their horrified eyes, the five helicopters landed directly, then rapidly disassembled and reassembled. In the blink of an eye, they had transformed into five helicopter robots.
Chu Xiran was carrying an Energy Detector. After the five helicopter robots appeared, the detector began to emit a rapid "BEEP BEEP BEEP" sound.
She took out the detector and glanced at it, a cold sweat quickly breaking out on her forehead. "All five robots are Dominator Level!"
Even more terrifying, standing beside the five Dominator Level helicopter robots were five young men dressed in identical white lab coats and matching black-framed glasses.
"Those bastards from the Mechanical Desecration Association have finally shown their faces." Seeing the five men in white coats, a spark of hatred flared in Niu Fenjin’s eyes.
