Chapter 9, Infiltration

The person who was struck curled up on the ground, crying out in pain, as the device transmitting the brainwave chip signal was severely hit, causing blood to flow from his ears, and the actions of the newly activated robot came to a halt.

This should be a water purifier

Previously, observing it from a distance, I thought it was just so-so; however, upon observing it from such a close range now, this hunter robot indeed appears much more ferocious

Two men, dressed in garments resembling the long robes of researchers and wearing helmets akin to hospital gas masks, are busily working in front of several box-shaped computers

Young people are all like this

Perhaps there are invisible information waves scanning, and those electromagnetic waves are rolling around Jiangxia, locking onto the information frequency bands emitted by every chip that steps into this area

Crouching in the ugly brown vegetation, Jiang Xia advanced while locking onto that position, searching back and forth in the "grass" as he moved towards it

The robot's head does not have the shape of eyes

He held a pulse rifle in his hand, carried an electromagnetic sniper rifle on his back, and had a large-caliber revolver tucked into his waist. After taking a few deep breaths, he stepped forward into the outside world

The town is engulfed in swirling sand and dust, with shadows flickering indistinctly, and no signs of human activity can be seen. Apart from the low rumble and vibrations of the ground caused by the patrolling robots, this place is almost like a dead zone

The gray exterior perfectly blends with the sand and dust at this moment; not to mention the rigid optical devices of the robot, even a vigilant living person nearby would find it difficult to detect him

bang

This time, exert all your strength

Its shape resembles that of a desert town in the Middle East, built around an oasis, often adorned with palm trees and similar decorations

Rog casually remarked

There!

In addition to the situation observed by Jiang Xia just now, it is estimated that this girl does not possess such high authority.

In the sandstorm, the motorcycle silently stopped at the edge of the oasis. Jiang Xia put away the purple circuit board in his hand and said casually, as if in conversation:

The two individuals exhibited a certain level of agitation, occasionally inputting commands on the keyboard or touching the area of their temples with their fingers, issuing instructions to the hunter robots through brainwave chips

After several attempts, Jiang Xia finally set his mind at ease

The child named Su seems to trust you very much

Although Roger did not elaborate on what their "evil research" entailed, Jiang Xia was not a fool; just by hearing the name, he could somewhat guess what it was about

Alright, it is my turn to take the stage

Like a walnut, even more like a clod of earth

This caliber, with two fist-sized objects, can instantly reduce Jiangxia to powder once fired

The dual arms with joints can move in four directions, and the hands are designed to resemble a fierce six-barreled cannon, with exposed ammunition belts connected to the heavy external armor.

Click

It is covered with an armor layer resembling the external armor of a main battle tank, painted in a rusty red color, and features a peculiar emblem that is poorly designed, resembling a snake wagging its tail

If we launch a frontal assault, the firepower of this robot alone is sufficient to annihilate them completely

Unfortunately, Jiang Xia does not understand a single word

A few seconds later, he saw the fruits of the vegetation before him

@ ! % @ ! ! ! ''

Several hunter robots patrolling the town responded swiftly, while the robot at the town's entrance had already fired a rocket, igniting a raging sea of fire amidst the sandstorm

Filled with ominousness

It is not an exaggeration to call itself the Eternal Life Society

Jiang Xia blew the blue smoke from the muzzle, performed a flourish with the gun, and inserted the revolver into the holster, with his superficial understanding of such things as the authority tree system

On the clothing of these two individuals, there is also the emblem of the Ouroboros

What is this lovely little thing called in your language

This range has already been exposed to the robot's field of vision

However, there is nothing in this town at the moment

The safety of the pulse rifle was disengaged. Rogge glanced back at the soldiers behind him, said nothing more, and simply waved his hand, prompting everyone to disperse.

The Ouroboros symbolizes the continuous cycle of life and death, the rotation of existence, and the eternal and indestructible nature of being

However, he did not do so immediately

However, Roger has said.

But in the next moment, the still-smoldering barrel of the gun was pressed against the left eye of his helmet

At the sound of a gunshot, the operator curled up on the ground had his head, along with his helmet, blown apart

He looked down and saw three people in the room

A barrage of over 60 rockets can be unleashed at any moment, capable of delivering devastating force

It may be begging for mercy, or it may be persuasion

It may be the mouth swallowing fragrance

Really not well-behaved

She is also wearing a similarly styled outfit, but both in terms of design and texture, it is somewhat inferior to those of the two individuals, and her face lacks the fully protective helmet resembling a gas mask.

Jia Gong

Previously, it seems that I saw Su and others eating this kind of thing over by the temple

He has stopped the motorcycle and is taking out his weapon and observation equipment

He had seen the power of this thing before; during the explosion, it would unleash a plasma that had astonishing lethality

Jiang Xia suddenly asked

This is the victory cigar, to be smoked only after winning, serving as a blessing from the battlefield

As several small heat shields around the bodysuit were activated, the lines surrounding the bodysuit emitted a faint glow, transforming Jiang Xia's appearance, who was carrying two guns, into a sci-fi spectacle.

This intangible confinement is utterly inescapable in this world

As the warriors of the Black Hand Society gathered around in Jiangxia, he stretched lazily, rose from the truck bed, took the thermal imaging suit handed over by Su, and offered a gentle smile to the young man

However, it is now confronted with a fellow who has not been implanted with a chip at all. This layer of the sky net is utterly useless. The thermal imaging suit on Jiang Xia has been functioning continuously, concealing all the heat he emits

In the next moment, he leaped down from the eaves, rolling upon landing to dissipate the force. As he rose, the revolver at his waist had already fallen into his hand

Jiang Xia held it in his hand, sniffed it under his nostrils, placed it in his pocket, made an OK gesture to him, and then turned around, moving in a stealthy, agile manner, like a monkey, slipping into the oasis from the side

But as Roger said, the robot seemed to have not noticed him at all

Only some brown, peculiar vegetation

The reason this place is referred to as an "oasis" is likely due to the ugly and bizarre plants that have mutated because of radiation. Additionally, there are small ponds in the town, which are probably the only sources of water in this desert.

Both senior manipulators are dead, and their permissions have been locked.

However, one cannot simply rush in like that. After surveying the terrain, Jiang Xia climbed up the low wall and, like an Assassin, sprinted along the top of the wall, eventually stopping above a house in the center of the town

Two men and one woman

As the brainwave chip issued commands, the two hunters stationed outside received the orders. However, before they could break through the wall, Jiang Xia raised his pistol and struck fiercely at the temple of the Eternal Life manipulator.

Jiangxia is also under the lens of the windscreen, gazing at this oasis town before him

Replaced by a Y-shaped helmet, within which dark red light spots wander, likely representing the optical information and infrared targeting device mentioned by Rog.

Jiang Xia complied with a statement, pulling a black grenade from his belt. Its design was quite unique, very sci-fi, easily gripped with one hand, and slightly smaller than an egg

Barren

He shouted a phrase

Occasionally, I would be reprimanded by those two for the slow speed of information transmission or for not inputting commands quickly enough

Before the three people in the room could react, a low gunshot was heard

Jiang Xia curled his lips

Then, with swift movements, he put on this rather old gray bodysuit and also donned a hood.

On the screen of optical projection, several images are displayed in a straight line, depicting the fierce battle outside the town

Like an assistant, but more like the servants of two people, amidst the incomprehensible scolding in Jiangxia, she was directed back and forth by those two, busy to the point of not having her feet touch the ground

He moved slightly and said to Roger in a muffled voice.

He is just too young and occasionally tends to be impulsive

Tsk tsk, how refined

The manipulation system of the hunter is quite outdated

Fu

They have fled here, losing so many brothers and companions, and only then have they found this glimmer of hope. At this point, there is no need for further words.

Hundreds of places away, one can already see the entrance to the oasis town. Through the clouds of dust, a rust-red painted hunter can be faintly seen, standing on its four legs, in a defensive mode, ready for action

By the pond, there stands a very punk-styled machine, resembling a device for drawing water, yet featuring a rotating wheel akin to a centrifuge, along with several valve-like components

That place is certainly where the robot operators sent by the Eternal Life Society are located

Jiang Xia said a word, then turned back to glance at the frail girl. She was also a member of the Eternal Life Society and possessed a brainwave chip, so she should also be able to control these several hunters

Blood splattered, the closest guy to Jiangxia, the helmet of the gas mask exploded from the center of his eyes, warm blood splashed up, scattering onto the goggles of the girl beside him, causing her to scream in terror

Hiring child labor is truly garbage

It is the type of machine mentioned by Roger and others, which is used to purify polluted water to a level that is safe for drinking

However, even amidst the obscuring winds and sands, Jiangxia could still see the color of the water, which was exceptionally strange

He will definitely be a good warrior in the future

He was being pointed at by a gun, yet the small light at his temple flashed more urgently.

Before long, the sound of intense gunfire erupted amidst the dust at the edge of the oasis

Rog expressed his sentiments with great emotion

This action caused his body to stiffen in place, and as Jiang Xia raised the muzzle of the gun, his previously crouched body stood up, with both hands raised, performing a universally recognized French salute.

Jiang Xia chuckled softly, casually took two pieces, and quickened his pace, resembling a monkey skimming across the ground, as he dashed into the center of the town, concealed by the wind and sand

His other hand gripped the pulse rifle, the muzzle aimed at the terrified girl. According to his and Roger's plan, this should kill two people, then replace the circuit board and restart the defense turret

The tracked quadruped has already risen, resembling a fixed artillery platform, with four opened rocket pods angled towards the sky behind the humanoid shoulders

Two robots advanced from two directions, moving on tracks to provide support, while the remaining two Hunter robots stood guard in the center of the town, remaining motionless

But men are not obedient

Simply wearing goggles and covering the mouth and nose with a scarf

Now, this girl's permissions should be sufficient

In any case, it is sufficient for her to create some chaos at critical moments

The girl beside them appears somewhat superfluous

Having lost their target guidance, they are also unable to launch the rockets into this small house

The girl was very obedient, being threatened by a rifle, and thus did not dare to make any movements, her body trembling uncontrollably

Well, Su is an orphan who was adopted by the Black Hand since childhood. He regards this place as home. If I were to unfortunately die, Su would become the third leader of the Black Hand.

Another person reacted quickly and immediately went to grab a weapon

It is necessary to break open the shell to eat.

Do not drop the ball

He was hiding in the shadows of an alley, about ten meters away from a hunter.

They no longer have a second path to choose from

The permission tree is quite rigid

It resembles the classic appearance of frogmen warriors

The latter made a gesture, signaling him not to worry, and took out the last two cigars from the cigarette case on his belt, giving one to him
