387 The arrival of the pioneers
John was silent for a moment before opening the nutrition chamber on his body.
Masha took a deep breath and opened her eyes.
When she saw her husband, she could no longer hold back her tears and hugged John.
Johnâs eyes were gentle. He didnât mind Marshaâs wet body at all. He patted her back and comforted her, â âAlright, itâs all in the past now. Itâs fine, Yingluo.â
The legendary killer who had just reaped lives with a murderous aura had now become a gentle, delicate, and considerate husband.
the six players looked at each other.
This mission was too much!
The players were like tools throughout the whole process. They didnât get much exp from killing monsters and were completely reduced to the background for link and John.
Now, he was playing this trick again. He was simply tricking the dog into coming in to kill it!
Wuwuwu ~
His mouth was already full. This entire piece of Qingqing dog food was too big and he couldnât eat it.
john gently wiped the tears from the corner of his wifeâs eyes with the back of his hand. there was no hurry or impatience in his tone. Masha, you and Dave will leave the mech city later. Wait for me at the castle of wind howl.
masha was stunned.ââYouâre not coming with us?â
âI still have some matters to settle. Iâll immediately return to find you after Iâm done.â
mashaâs expression gradually eased. she did not pester nor cry, but just reached out and dusted off johnâs shoulder.âCome back soon, Iâll wait for you.â
âEn!â
John nodded heavily. He had tried every possible way to extend Marshaâs life for five years. No matter how desperate the situation was, he couldnât give up. Finally, he had been waiting for this â Iâll wait for you â.
John looked at Dave again, his expression solemn and sincere. âIâm counting on you.â
Dave knew that he had a heavy responsibility. donât worry. As long as Iâm still breathing, I will never let your wife get hurt.
âAlright, you guys should hurry up and leave now, or you wonât be able to leave later.â
Link rolled up his sleeves, and the multi-functional combat suitâs claws popped out, fastening itself to Daveâs mech. take your men and go down quickly. Iâve already arranged for the spy Mouse to pick you up.
dave knew that now was not the time to be sad and sad. carrying the nutrition chamber, he held onto masha with his mech arm and jumped out of the gap.
Linkâs hook rope could withstand several tons of weight. The weight of a mech and three people was nothing.
Soon, the number on the monitor on the armâs hook reached 121, and the number stopped increasing. It had clearly hit the bottom.
Link waited for ten seconds before retracting his hook. He was extremely fast and did not encounter any obstacles.
Ding! Ding!
With a crisp sound, the hook sank into the container.
Linkâs gaze focused on the six players. âYou guys should leave too. The following scene is not something you can handle. Your next task is to escort Dave and his men back to howling heights.â
As link gave the mission, some players were ecstatic, but some were still unsatisfied.
When they were hiding behind the cover, they saw the strange scene of the mechanical giant in the center of the city. It was obvious that the leader of the machinery faith was coming out. What came next was an evenly-matched battle, which was the most exciting part of todayâs infiltration.
Wind-chasing Piao Rou took the lead and said, âPresident, Iâm a member of the Lin Financial Group and the leader of the Qilin Hall. Iâve been following you since the time of the link gang. I canât leave you at your most dangerous time! You can say that I disobeyed your order, or that I canât complete the task. Today, Iâll stay and advance and retreat with you!â
The other cold blade also stood out with his gun, â â although i have nothing to do with president lin, i still want to stay and gain some knowledge. anyway, we can be resurrected even if we die, so itâs not a big deal. â All of Leng Fengâs equipment had been covered by insurance. If he died, he would not lose anything. However, it would be a huge loss if they missed a battle between leaders.
â iâll stay too. elder lin is an elder of the moon shadow council. iâll follow you no matter what. â Bombarding chicken raised his hand and said hurriedly. After all, he was now a photographer who had to record everything that happened in the city. with the quality of the video, it would definitely attract a lot of attention if it was posted on the forum.
If there were people who wanted to participate, there would naturally be people who wanted to leave.
The Guild Master of the sentimental Guild, Tang Jiu, had upgraded his mechanical equipment to green grade after his Ascension.
As a mechanic player, it was beyond his expectations to be able to obtain a green grade mechanic modified weapon. After entering the floating mech city, Tang Jiu had been trying to buy weapon insurance from the game store. However, the system kept telling him that he was in the middle of a high-level mission and that he could not buy it.
If he could buy weapon insurance, Tang Jiu would leave it behind no matter what.
But now, he had chosen to stay. He did not have the confidence to survive in the face of the mech Warriors that were as vast as the sea and had fierce firepower.
Moreover, he was the only mechanic among the six of them. Now that he had obtained a green grade mechanical weapon, it would make his future path much easier. But if they stayed, there was a high chance that they would lose everything.
The one who wanted to leave was also the Vice President of the jialan heart Guild, Yaoyao Ling. He was an Esper with telekinesis, and he had used up all his energy in the battle just now. A telekinesis master without energy was not even as useful as a robot, and they would only be a burden if they stayed.
As for lost mo Wen, he didnât say anything about the team. Although link had said that his choice would not affect the mission reward, he could not confirm whether his choice would affect Linkâs favorability.
Looking at the players âconflicted thoughts, fighting over all kinds of choices like walking on a tightrope, link waited anxiously. He really wanted to kick them all off the game.
When link spoke, he didnât think about it at all. He just felt that the players would only be cannon fodder and wouldnât be of any use. Instead of dying in vain, it was better to go down and protect Dave and Masha. He didnât expect that with such a simple sentence, these players would act like they were walking on tightrope. None of them dared to answer, and they even expressed their loyalty.
It seemed that sometimes, nine years of compulsory education was not a good thing! These players had thought much more than the original author when it came to reading comprehension!
seeing this, link decided, since the three of you have spoken, then drifting, cold blade, and bombarding chicken will stay behind. The remaining three will immediately protect Dave and his team. Do it now, and those who disobey will have their mission rewards canceled!
linkâs words prompted the players to act immediately.
if you donât hand in your reading comprehension paper now, you wonât even get any marks ~
Link hooked Tang Jiu, lost mo Wen, and Yaoyaoâs spirit system, then quickly lowered the three of them into the desert.
âwhat i said just now is the truth. i wonât give you any extra rewards if you stay here. And I wonât be able to take care of you guys when I get into action, so youâd better find a safe place to stay.â
The three remaining players did not complain after learning that there were no additional rewards.
The three of them discussed for a while and prepared to go to the rooftop of the laboratory building.
Firstly, there was a path from the building to the rooftop. There was only a staircase, so they would be safe as long as they could guard it.
Secondly, they had a good view from the rooftop. They could see further from a high place. When link, John, and the leader of the machinery faith started fighting, they would be able to see the situation better.
Thirdly, the escape hole was also in the laboratory building. If anything happened, they could jump down from the corner of the first floor at any time.
after the players left, link retracted his claw and looked at john.âDidnât you come here to resurrect Masha? why didnât you leave with us? why did you stay?â
john chuckled. â thatâs because i also want to meet the leader of the machinery faith. itâs not easy for me to come here. itâll be a pity if i donât get to meet him. â Iâd like to see what the pioneer who created the eternal life plan looks like.â
although john said that, link knew that he did not stay to meet the mechanical pioneers but to protect him.
Link chuckled. He thought that if Marsha was still around and John had the high damage from the [ match wings ] talent, he wouldnât be safe. but now that masha was gone and [ match wings ] couldnât be activated, johnâs strength was greatly reduced. it was hard to say who would protect who!
Link glanced at John and used his consciousness to open his information card.
But the next second, link was dumbfounded.
F * ck!
the [ match wings ] talent was gone, but john had another talent called [ yearning ].
[ longing ]: when John and Marsha are separated, John regains power from his longing. All damage dealt is increased by 50%.
Good fellow! Iâm f * cking direct, my good fellow!
This person must be a bug. In short, he didnât lose out in both front and back hands, but he insisted on adding this 50% damage?
Link finally understood why Masha had been killed. This was a plot kill.
âBuzz-!!!â
The two of them felt a strange spatial tremor at the same time, accompanied by a heavy landing sound on the ground. The ground trembled with a rumble.
Hu ~
a strong gust of wind blew in from outside the laboratory building, and the door was blown open. link and john, who were in the corner, could even feel the strong wind blowing in their faces.
The two of them looked at each other and saw the seriousness in each otherâs eyes.
The voice and the pressure just now were definitely the leader of the machinery faith, Dr. Zhao.
âThe Iron Councilâs elder is yours,â said link.âIâll take professor Zhao.â
john immediately nodded. he had no interest in dr. zhao to begin with. the main reason he stayed behind was to protect link.
After all, they were causing trouble in the base of the machinery faith, and the other party might have some trump cards that were difficult to deal with. At this time, two people were definitely better than one. The iron dukedomâs elder was much easier to deal with. This way, he could also divert his attention to Linkâs situation.
Link and John walked out side by side.
Under Linkâs control, the silver army ant sneaked into the ground like a time bomb, waiting for the best time to appear.
The two of them walked out of the laboratory building. Many of the mechanical Warriors that link had previously rewarded with a pulse signal bomb were still lying on the ground or leaning on the side. The Battlefront had been filled with new combat robots and mech Warriors, and this time, they finally sent out the mechanical elders of the steel Council. Some of them were piloting mechs that were seven to eight meters tall, some of them were of normal height but had an exaggerated and disproportionate mechanical fist assembled on their arms, and there was even a bi an who was stepping on an aircraft.
In front of them was a flying saucer-like device.
In the open cockpit in the center of the flying saucer sat a humanoid creature wearing a terrifying skull metal helmet. Purple energy radiated outward from the eye sockets and mouth of the skeleton. The humanoid creatureâs entire body was made up of machinery, but other than the metal material, the size and proportion of its limbs were no different from that of a normal human. It looked as if the surface of its skin was covered with a film of metallic luster.
In the hands of the humanoid creature, there was a golden scepter.
the top of the scepter was protected by a purple energy core made of metal. its shape was unique, like the stars in the night sky and the full moon.
What was even more unbelievable was that there were four scaly metal tentacles on the back of the humanoid creature. The tip of each tentacle had a sharp tip, like the poisonous sting on the tip of a scorpionâs tail.
This was the leader of the entire machinery faith, the pioneer professor Zhao.
Link was expressionless, but John couldnât help but frown. He couldnât help but ask in a low voice,âIs this the leader of the machinery faith, professor Zhao? Why is it so different from what I imagined?â
âWhat did you imagine it to be?â asked link.
in my mind, Dr. Zhao should be similar to the machinery elder I saw in the laboratory building today. His brain should be placed in a glass container, followed by dense data lines.
âthe so-called brain in a jar is just the most basic way of placing it. The mechanical pioneer in front of us can already place his brain under a specially-made helmet, and the base of the brain is directly connected to the digital circuit board.â
Hearing Linkâs explanation, John finally understood. He had still underestimated the abilities of the mechanical creatures and the technological level of the machinery faith.
Such a precise design and structure far exceeded the technological level of the other countries. It was worthy of being the highest technology on the entire wasteland.
Professor Zhao, who was sitting in the flying saucer, scanned Johnâs body and quickly recognized him.
itâs an honor for the former number one assassin on wasteland planet, John, to visit the city. The mechanical pioneer professor Zhaoâs voice only had a slight mechanical feel to it, and the rise and fall of his voice was no different from a normal personâs.
he escaped from Shandu 40 years ago and built this mech city from scratch. Itâs magnificent to see it here today. John replied.
Hearing this, link couldnât help but laugh.
One could only say that it was rigorous or the mechanical pioneers were rigorous. The use of the word before was very essential.
The next second, the mechanical pioneers were attracted by Linkâs laughter and began scanning.
However, this time, the mechanical pioneers did not say Linkâs name immediately.
âYou canât guess?â Link asked arrogantly.
The mechanical pioneer was not shocked at all. He was not angered by Linkâs words at all.
although youâre using a fake identity, â the mechanical pioneer said after a while, â based on your behavior, language, and combat habits, you match up to 99.5% with the new king of the Shudu, link.
Link was stunned for a moment. He turned off the mask and said, â âItâs boring,â
P.S. Recommended a book by a friend,âSenior Sister is so poisonous.â Author: Iâm a little Shami.
The little monk who had entered the spirited mountain with great difficulty was suddenly brought down the mountain by a Senior Sister.
his senior sister, who was infatuated with him, was a female monster that couldnât be more poisonous.
Senior Sister, youâre so vicious, what should I do?
