Chapter 1264 - 1262: Quick, Save the Person!
"So that’s how it is!"
"Our senior sister’s status? The Locke Group wouldn’t dare provoke her!"
"Turns out this guy is smart, using her as a shield!"
...
The four women finally understood what the other party meant. With their status when traveling, even if the trail led back to the Cloud Fund, the opponent wouldn’t dare act against them. The Cloud Fund’s power was too overwhelming—Jack using it as a lifeline was entirely reasonable.
"Junior Brother, so tell me, should I go or not?" Chu Meng shifted the topic to Lin Feng, wanting his opinion on how to handle this. Was it worth taking this risk for Jack?
"Don’t worry. There’s no harm in meeting him! Only then can all the mysteries be unraveled," Lin Feng said with a smile, looking at Chu Meng. It was just a trivial matter—seeing him would clarify everything.
"Alright, Junior Brother, I now know what to do." Chu Meng smiled at Lin Feng, relieved. This matter was finally resolved, and her heart was genuinely uplifted.
"What activities do we have this afternoon?"
"Nothing much; let’s go shopping!"
"Sure, shop first, then watch a movie!"
...
With the earlier situation handled, the four women started chatting casually. Since the afternoon had no pressing tasks, taking a stroll and shopping sounded appealing. Lin Feng didn’t oppose the idea and soon joined the women on their shopping trip.
......
On the other side, under Lin Feng’s orders, Leng Hao took two children on a plane and quickly arrived in a city not far from Shang Yi. After a brief phone discussion, a military truck picked up Leng Hao and the kids, taking them straight to the military base.
Once inside, Leng Hao smoothly introduced the children to Shang Yi. After a brief conversation, Leng Hao finally understood what had happened here. He was particularly curious about this Iron Man-like robot that suddenly appeared. When did technology advance so much to produce such marvels?
After discussing further, Leng Hao found a place for the children to rest, planning to go out at night to scout for clues and recapture that critical arms dealer.
Late at night, Leng Hao and the children prepared to sneak out of the base and investigate the area Shang Yi had described. But to everyone’s surprise, before they even set out, the same Iron Man-like robot from yesterday stormed the base once again!
"Alert! Enemy attack!"
The sudden alarm blared, and Leng Hao and the children darted out of their room, eager to confront the intruder in person.
When they reached the base courtyard, the sight before them left them stunned—a humanoid robot, armed to the teeth, rampaging through the base. It killed on sight, and wherever its laser beams hit, even armored vehicles were left with massive holes. A human struck by the beam disintegrated instantly!
Bullets from the soldiers merely sparked on the robot’s surface, leaving it unharmed. Even a direct rocket hit only made it stagger briefly. In short, this humanoid robot was practically invincible, and no one could figure out how to deal with it!
"Everyone, stand back! We’ll handle this!"
Leng Hao was furious at the sight of so many fallen soldiers. He roared loud enough for the entire base to hear. The soldiers froze momentarily, but Shang Yi’s voice quickly followed: "All personnel, retreat immediately and avoid direct combat!"
Shang Yi’s commands were crystal clear, and the soldiers promptly obeyed, evacuating the robot’s attack range while covering one another.
The humanoid robot seemed to notice something, turning its gaze toward Leng Hao and the two children. It then made a universally understood downward-pointing gesture—a mockery directed at Leng Hao! Seeing a robot taunt him like this, Leng Hao was enraged. He pulled out the short dagger given to him by Lin Feng and charged straight at it!
"You two, cover me! Don’t let it escape! It’s mine!" As he passed Xia Jianping and Xia Jianwu, Leng Hao quickly assigned tasks to the children. Without hesitation, they drew their short swords, taking positions on either side of the robot, ready to strike.
Leng Hao moved with incredible speed, leaving behind trails of afterimages in the air. The robot’s targeting systems couldn’t lock onto him, missing several laser shots before retracting its cannon into its armor. Instead, it drew two folding long knives over a meter in length from its legs—ready for melee combat!
This... this can’t be real!
Leng Hao had assumed the robot relied purely on advanced weaponry. He never expected it to possess its own melee weapons. This gave him an unsettling feeling, as if the robot wasn’t just cold steel but a battle-hardened expert—a superhuman master wearing armor!
This is going to be tough!
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Leng Hao became tense. He knew the night ahead could be fraught with danger, but retreat wasn’t an option. He had to capture this robot for research purposes, regardless of the personal risk.
And so, an ethereal blur lunged toward the humanoid robot...
"Boom!"
"Rat-a-tat-tat..."
"Boom!"
...
Leng Hao and the robot engaged in fierce combat. Despite his blinding speed, even with Gang Qi enhancing his dagger, he couldn’t penetrate the robot’s armor. Ultimately, Leng Hao abandoned the weapon, but without it, he was at an even greater disadvantage. The robot’s defensive capabilities were absurd, and its speed matched his. A deadlock ensued...
Everyone in the base was left speechless. They hadn’t imagined anyone could go toe-to-toe with such a robot. Who was this young man? How was he so powerful? But Shang Yi frowned deeply—he could see that while Leng Hao was impressive, the robot was superior. If this continued, Leng Hao would undoubtedly suffer.
As expected, it didn’t take long for the robot to change tactics. Seemingly dissatisfied with the pace of close combat, it secretly deployed a few gun barrels, firing them during a momentary opening!
"Rat-a-tat-tat..."
The sudden gunfire startled Leng Hao, his body instinctively twitching. Judging by the sound, the rounds were of large caliber—he wasn’t confident even Gang Qi could block them. With no other choice, he dove to the ground to evade the bullets.
Fortunately, Leng Hao’s lightning-quick reflexes saved him. However, cold sweat dripped down his face. A robot employing such cunning tactics was unnerving. Just as he thought this, he noticed six glowing rows of objects rising from the robot’s shoulders!
No good!
Realizing the danger, Leng Hao dodged with all his might. He barely escaped, but the spot where he had been seconds ago was now carved with six bottomless trenches. If he had been hit, he would’ve been torn apart!
The robot swung its arms, aiming to finish Leng Hao with its built-in firearms. The flawless transition of movement left no chance to counter. In a split second, the bullets struck Leng Hao’s shoulder, sending him flying and coughing up blood in midair!
"Move! Disable its weapons!"
"Understood!"
Just as the robot aimed to deliver a fatal blow, Xia Jianping and Xia Jianwu rushed in. It didn’t matter what kind of metallic monster this was—they’d already decided to stop its attack. They relentlessly assaulted the robot as long as it posed a threat to Leng Hao!
The trio barely managed to keep up with the robot’s attacks, proving its terrifying combat capabilities...
As the fight dragged on, exhaustion set in for Leng Hao and the children, while the robot remained untiring. Gradually, the three became the hunted. This reversal alarmed Shang Yi, who called in two snipers for support to cover Leng Hao and the children.
After half an hour, for reasons unknown, the robot suddenly flew into the air and departed boldly under everyone’s gaze...
As relief flooded in, Leng Hao collapsed unconscious, while the children’s faces were ghastly pale. Deep, bone-revealing wounds covered the trio, startling Shang Yi with their severity!
"Quick, get medics!"
Shang Yi shouted, ordering emergency treatment for Leng Hao and the kids. However, his mind was troubled—how could he explain this to Lin Feng? He was at a loss...
The next morning, Leng Hao and the children finally stabilized. Only then did Shang Yi decide to call Lin Feng.
