Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr "Little Four, mecha B's attack path," said Ling Lan calmly. "Send the second hover car into the air at the same time." The more dangerous the situation was, the more she could not panic — Chamberlain Ling Qin's safety depended on her.
Ling Lan was incomparably grateful that she had such a capable companion like Little Four to help her. After Little Four had taken care of the hover car holding the line, he informed Ling Lan that the other two hover cars were also under his control. This news allowed Ling Lan to find a precious sliver of hope in the midst of her unsolvable predicament. This meant that she and Ling Qin might be able to hold on until reinforcements arrived.
Ling Lan was both grateful and disappointed. For the first time, she felt that she was too weak, that she could only watch helplessly as her loved ones fell into danger. This time, if not for Little Four, Grandpa Ling Qin would probably have been bloodied on the spot by now.
At that moment, Ling Lan did not notice that a seed of strength had sprouted in her heart, beginning to grow strong. This seed would allow her to persevere even in the face of future setbacks and exhaustion...
Little Four's performance was very impressive. Not only had he given mecha B's attack path, he had also automatically moved the second hover car into position to block the opponent's attack path.
Little Four was a studious child — after Ling Lan's first order, he had committed it to memory. Without needing Ling Lan to instruct him a second time, he had already completed what Ling Lan wanted him to do perfectly.
"Little Four, well done." Even though she had never raised a child before, Ling Lan knew that children loved to be praised. She generously showered Little Four with praise, causing his little face to flush red instantly, his eyes narrowing into crescents as he smiled.
The hover car had once again blocked the opponent's attack path — even a less intelligent person would have noticed that something was wrong.
"No! Something must have gone wrong. "Mecha B put down the sniper rifle in his hands, his expression solemn.
"Boss, I remember that the people in the other two hover cars had all come out. There's no one inside." Mecha A had also discovered the truth — the original people in the hover cars were currently engaged in a bloody battle with the opponent.
"Oh no, we've been discovered!" Recalling that their attacks had been blocked, mecha B broke out in cold sweat. He knew that his every move was probably being monitored by the opponent.
"Ah … then, what should we do?" Mecha A panicked. If their identities were really exposed, they definitely wouldn't be able to live. Although he didn't know who the person above was, he understood from the few words that he was definitely someone who could overturn the seas and rivers. Dealing with them was as simple as crushing two ants.
"Take down those two hover cars." Mecha B gritted his teeth. If they were to withdraw like this, they wouldn't be able to get anything out of it even if they went back. They might as well take a gamble. Perhaps they would be able to achieve something.
"Yes, Boss." Mecha A didn't dare to disobey, raising his sniper rifle once more to aim at one of the hover cars.
"Little Four, come back quickly." Ling Lan knew that they would not give up when she saw them raise their guns. She was afraid that Little Four would be in danger, so she quickly called for him to come back.
Of course, Ling Lan also felt a tinge of regret. Mind you, she had wanted to use this method to warn the opponent, letting them know that they were being monitored all the time. She had hoped that they would have some misgivings and choose to retreat. Unexpectedly, this plan didn't work — the opponent was clearly a ruthless character who wanted to fight until the very last moment.
Since that was the case, then bring it on! Ling Lan clenched her small fists, her face resolute. "Little Four, place the last hover car in a path that can block two mecha's attacks at the same time."
Ling Lan had barely finished speaking when two loud explosions rang out.
"Bang!" "Bang!"
The two sounds rang out almost at the same time. The enemy had indeed pulled the trigger, hitting the two hover cars at the very front. However, because the hover cars had been modified, they were very sturdy. Although there was a very deep dent in the body of the car from the sniper rifle, and even one side of the car had caved in, there was no damage to the optical computer system inside, so the hover cars were still standing strong.
"That's great, the modifications are really sturdy." Ling Lan saw that the hover cars were still hanging high in the air, dutifully protecting Ling Qin, and was overjoyed. She had been worried that the hover cars wouldn't be strong enough and would be destroyed in one shot, but now it looked like they could still hold out for a while longer.
Calculating the time it would take for Chamberlain Ling Qin to release the signal flare, Ling Lan knew that if they could hold on for another three to four minutes, reinforcements would probably arrive.
Hover car, you have to put in more effort, hang on. Ling Lan couldn't help but pray.
"Goddammit, who modified the hover cars to be so sturdy?" Mecha B couldn't help but curse. He turned to continue ordering, "Don't let up, keep shooting. You must take them down as soon as possible."
"Yes, Boss!" replied mecha A, and then he pulled the trigger on his sniper rifle.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The sniper rifle fired shot after shot. After who knew how many shots, cracks finally appeared on the hover car, and in the end, it became a tattered wreck …
Bang! One of the hover cars was once again hit by the sniper rifle. This time, it had completed its mission — it instantly turned into a cloud of fire, burning as it crashed to the ground.
Following closely behind, another hover car took a few more shots before exploding as well, burying itself in the sea of fire along with its companions.
"F * ck, why is there another one? When did it get there?" Mecha B had finally taken care of the hover car blocking his path. He had just breathed a sigh of relief and was about to adjust his sniper rifle to finish off Ling Qin, when he found that he couldn't find Ling Qin in his video feed anymore. The reason was that another hover car had appeared near Ling Qin.
And this hover car wasn't completely empty. When they saw the two hover cars explode and crash, how could they not know what was going to happen to them? Terrified, they began to beat and kick at the windows. Unfortunately, the windows of the hover car had already been sealed up by Little Four, so they had no way of opening them.
Of course, they had thought of smashing the windows open, but the hover car had been modified too thoroughly. Even the powerful sniper rifles on the mechas had to fire dozens of shots before the hover car was destroyed, not to mention these people who were unarmed.
And in this period of time, Ling Qin had seized the opportunity to finish off two more people, leaving only the team leader and his team members hiding at the back.
Ling Lan was very nervous. She hoped that this hover car would be able to withstand the attacks from below, so that Chamberlain Ling Qin would have more time to finish off the last two enemies. By then, even if there were no more obstacles to block the sniper rifle, they would still be able to find a suitable place to hide, such as that patch of shrubbery.
Right then, the hover car suddenly reversed direction, and the two laser cannons suddenly fired, shooting up into the air.
Ling Lan was shocked. "Little Four, what's going on?"
Little Four immediately replied, "Hehe, I didn't waste any time just now. I've finally figured out the structure of this world's A.I.'s. Who would have thought that you humans would be able to use this kind of numerical method to create an A.I. life form similar to us. Of course, it's just a little bit similar, but compared to us, it's still a long way off … "Little Four was very smug, his face full of pride, proud of his uniqueness.
Ling Lan's forehead bulged with anger, and she said angrily, "Get to the point!" Dammit, can't you see what time it is? Why are you blabbering so much nonsense?
"I've designed two little A.I. systems. Then I put it on the navigation system of the laser cannon. "Little Four felt wronged. He threw out these two sentences with a face full of resentment, and then turned around to ignore Ling Lan. Fine, looks like this little brat is getting cocky.
