Chapter 148: Betrayer 4412 Elowin
"Calling... 4412. Please return to the team immediately... Calling 4412... immediately... team. Otherwise, you will be considered a traitor...
repeat……."
"Huh...huh..."
While running frantically, Elowin frantically operated her tablet, trying to hack into the armored mecha's logic center. She ignored the communication calling her code name.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Otherwise, we'll...
Huh?! It worked! But this distance…"
Elowin looked up at the high-risk Yi Hai, visible in the distance. A resolute expression crossed her otherwise ordinary face. Ignoring the high concentration of active aether surrounding her, she strode towards Yi Hai.
At the same time, the advance team had already encountered Yi Hai head-on and was fighting hard.
As a research institute that masters the most advanced ether technology, it is not only wealthy but also has researchers equipped with the latest and most sophisticated equipment.
But in the final analysis, the members of the advance team are mainly academics, and their physical fitness and combat effectiveness are far inferior to those of truly well-trained soldiers.
They lacked the ability to engage a large, high-risk Ikai head-on. Therefore, the researchers in the advance team relied on the short-term, powerful firepower they could maintain to temporarily slow the Ikai's advance, fighting and retreating as they went. They intended to find a sturdy shelter and escape the Ikai's attack.
Unfortunately, the location where they encountered the battle was very unfavorable for them. The nearby fault structure did not have any strong structures that could withstand such a large-scale attack without being damaged.
Many team members who were responsible for the escort had sad eyes but chose to stay behind without hesitation, just to give more team members more opportunities to escape danger.
Unfortunately, this operation ended completely before it even started for long.
The damage caused by guns and ammunition to the large Yi Hai was very limited, and such an attack only angered Yi Hai. Just when Yi Hai broke through the suppression and was about to attack the advance team.
A black shadow, which was very small compared to the large skeleton that was several stories high, flashed through the floating rubble.
The snow-white blade light formed a sharp and terrifying flower, blooming from behind Yi Hai.
Yi Hai's shrill screams echoed throughout the entire area.
Compared to the damaging bullets, the pain of having one's weak point breached at close range attracted Yi Hai's attention more quickly.
So Yi Hai, driven by his attacking instinct, turned around without hesitation and threw a piece of ether crystal in the direction of the advance team. After forcing the research team members to cease fire and hide, he gave up on the advance team members and began to look for the figure that actually caused the harm to him.
"What was that just now? Was it a human figure?! Am I dazzled?!" The guard holding the machine gun looked at the hot weapon in his hand, squinted his eyes, and barely looked at the jumping black shadow through the dust in the battle area, and began to doubt his life.
"It's a person! And one with a long sword?!" The team leader, who had taken out her binoculars, was equally shocked. But as the team leader, she quickly calmed down and began to direct the team members to retreat.
"Hurry! While Yi Hai is being held captive, quickly find a safe route to retreat. The weakest technicians should go first!
The combatants organized their equipment and set traps. "We'll wait and see while we prepare to provide fire support!" the leader issued orders methodically. "We don't know who's helping to contain Yi Hai, but we can't just abandon him like this."
However, this kind of large-scale corpse cannot be dealt with by one person, unless he is the youngest [Hunter] Miss Hoshimi Masa.
Use all the equipment that can be used to set traps. Once ready, send a drone to broadcast the retreat route to the other party.
Take action now!"
"Understood!" Under the command of the team leader, the members of the advance team regained their composure and began to divide the work and evacuate in an orderly manner.
"...I hope these arrangements can really come in handy." The seemingly calm and collected leader looked at the battle in the distance, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Bai Zhi had no energy to pay attention to these things for the time being. He was completely immersed in this dangerous battle.
Bai Zhi jumped around among the rubble and ruins like a monkey, trying to fight back at every opportunity, but with little effect.
Yi Hai, being large and able to fly, was much less restricted by the terrain than Bai Zhi. It attacked with its vine-like tentacles, each strike shattering one of Bai Zhi's footholds and sending up countless flying rocks.
On the other hand, Bai Zhi no longer had enough time to accumulate strength and inflict a critical hit on Yi Hai's weakness as before.
Without the [World Technology] cheats "Sound Engine" and "Ether Technology Weapons," pure physical attacks could inflict far too little damage on Yi Hai. Bai Zhi's ability to counterattack was entirely due to his incredibly high stats and inhuman physical fitness.
"That should be about right, right?!"
Bai Zhi was breathing heavily and took some time to look in the direction of the team that had just been attacked.
"Although they don't appear to be the military team we suspected, they are likely officials sent here to investigate and research the void.
I've already lured Yi Hai away, so those people shouldn't just sit there waiting there like idiots, right?!
I can't take it anymore, I have to find the right time to escape.
Wait! Is that a military armored mecha?! ! "
Just when Bai Zhi was about to slip away, several tall, unmanned armed mechas brushed past Bai Zhi and rushed straight towards Yi Hai.
Bai Zhi stopped in surprise and looked back, but was blown away by the airflow generated by the strong explosion.
Bai Zhi twisted his waist and flipped backward in mid-air, stabbing the tip of his knife into the ground as he landed. He slid backward for a distance before coming to a stop. He squinted against the bright light, listening to Yi Hai's brutal roar, secretly shocked.
Before Bai Zhi could sort out his thoughts, more armed mechas gathered from a distance and approached. After Bai Zhi activated the scan, he finally found human biological signals behind a ruined wall.
Ellowin held the tablet, and the high concentration of active ether easily penetrated her protective suit and corroded her. But the continuous explosions told her that the plan had been successfully completed and her team members were safe.
She bit her lip, her entire body trembling from the erosion reaction. As her vision blurred, a black figure gradually grew larger, moving so fast that Elowin even thought she was hallucinating.
Until a large windbreaker hood wrapped her whole body.
Ellowin was so confused that he didn't even have time to struggle out of his coat to see who was coming. He was grabbed by the knees and carried on the shoulders like a sack.
Elowin's head fell forward, and she bumped into the warm, strong back of the man. The bumps forced her to hold on to the weapon straps on his back to steady herself.
Through the narrow and shaky vision below the hem of his clothes, Ellowin could only see the rapidly receding ground and the occasional suspended scenes.
The sound of the explosion was still loud, but the fishy-sweet smell that had filled the nasal cavity due to erosion was gradually replaced by another cool sweet smell.
Elowin was half-conscious and confused, wondering: When did it start snowing in the cave? But it didn't seem cold at all...
Small Theater
Video paused.
Jane Du slammed the table and complained: Why can you just carry her and run away?!
Bai Zhi: ...just because she's wearing so much. The protective suit hides her chest and buttocks, and unless you look at her face, you can't tell she's a woman.
Ellowin:…….
