Chapter 690: Lightning is what I ordered

After all, Betus was a sixth-level Star Soul powerhouse, and at the critical moment, he continuously used multiple energy shockwaves to block the surprise attack of the swarm forward. And Robin, who claims to be superb in archery, indiscriminately releases arrows in a style that is more cool than actual combat, and even accidentally hits and has a blocking effect.

After 1 minute like this, everyone retreated into the mecha without danger. Once the mecha enters the mecha, it is immediately temporarily isolated from the external environment, and the mecha's various powerful killing methods can be used without reservation.

Robin returned to the temporary Titan Mecha's hiding room and said to the communication panel: "Master Bei, let the team attack and move, don't stay put!" Otherwise, it's easy to get dragged on. ”

Betters didn't have a lot of experience as a front-line field commander, but he had basic judgment and knew that Robin's words were reasonable, so he immediately followed suit. The gathering team's numerous mechs and vehicles formed a torrent of steel, crushing the small swarm of insects blocking the road and advancing in the direction of Midtown, firing at the same time with various weapons they carried.

The collection team dragged a large tail composed of a swarm of insects for dozens of kilometers, and finally fell into a siege. More than 100,000 guards and insects surrounded the Arhats and piled them up into a circle of iron walls tens of meters high. Between the iron wall and the collection team, it is a three-dimensional interlaced firepower network of lasers, bullet rains, electromagnetic beams, etc. Hundreds of bugs are killed in this net of fire every second, so that the corpses are stacked higher and higher.

Suddenly, 2 rotatable laser launchers and 4 cannons mounted on the Titan were dull fire at the same time. A technician reported: "Commander, the weapon system is overloaded with energy and cannot attack for the time being. ”

Beckoned, Betters asked, "How so?" The Titan had only been firing for a few minutes. ”

Robin, who was in the makeshift hiding room, said coolly, "Such a high-intensity firing can only last a few minutes at most; Otherwise, can bugs still be so rampant? ”

"You seem to know a lot, can you tell me how to kill insects in the event of an overload of the weapon system?"

"It's very simple, if the weapon system can't be used, just punch and kick." Robin said, "The Titan is such a big size and tonnage, even if you step on it, you can kill insects. ”

Bertus suddenly realized, and immediately ordered the Titan to switch to anthropomorphic mode of action. Its four thick, muscular metal hands and feet began to fly up and down, knocking the approaching insects into the air and scattering them.

In the makeshift hiding room, Li Yan, Chen Gengxin, and Robin checked the surroundings through the miniature monitoring panel on the wall, their bodies swaying back and forth with the Titan's movements.

"Wow", Chen Gengxin couldn't bear this burden, and clutched his throat and vomited.

Robin, who had expected this, found a plastic bag out of nowhere, caught Chen Gengxin's vomit drop by drop, and threw it out cleanly. patted Chen Gengxin on the back and teased: "Artist, you should strengthen your proprioceptive adaptation training. ”

Chen Gengxin pulled the handrail on the wall and stood up straight, and replied, "I seem to feel much better all of a sudden." ”

Li Yan's face was full of concern, "Xinxin, you have to hold on." We will definitely return to Midtown safely! ”

Chen Gengxin sighed, "I'm really useless, the fight outside is so fierce, I can't even help anything." ”

"You don't have to blame yourself. Your role is to help me faithfully record and broadcast the facts, and to inspire the citizens of Midtown with my writing and art. You're not a warrior, so you don't need to demand your own combat power. ”

Chen Gengxin was silent at first, and then asked Robin, who was also doing nothing in the hiding room, "This old man, do you think we non-combatants can do something about fighting bugs?" ”

"Of course." Robin looked confident.

"Listen to me."

"Pray for everyone." Robin's face was solemn, and his hands were folded.

Chen Gengxin scoffed: "If praying to the Divine Immortal Buddha worked, the insect would have ceased to exist a long time ago. Since the bugs are still alive and are besieging us frantically, it means that prayers are useless. ”

"Mr. Artist thinks prayers are useless, does he?" Robin's gaze turned to Li Yan, "What do you think of the beautiful reporter?" ”

"I only believe in the facts that I can witness with my own eyes." Li Yan's gaze was firm.

"Sure enough, there are principles." Robin stared at the surveillance panel and muttered, "Unfortunately, what you see with your own eyes may not be the truth." The more you learn about the way the world exists and works, the more you realize that the so-called facts are just the appearance that is constructed and presented. ”

"No matter how deep your lines are, they can't change the basic fact that we're under siege by bugs." Li Yan sneered again.

"Don't say it so absolutely, maybe I just need to recite a few special lines, and the swarm besieging us will be wiped out." Robin muttered in his mouth: "Heavenly spirit, earth spirit, come to a thunderbolt to kill insects; Smurfs, purple elves, manifest when it's time to manifest. ”

The swarm of insects outside continued to surround and storm like a tidal wave, and the mechs returned fire and opened fire. The firepower of the gathering team has weakened, and the swarm has grown in size and the offensive has become stronger.

Li Yan sneered at Robin, "Fortunately, we don't have too many gods like Your Excellency in Midtown; Otherwise, everyone would have soared to bliss. ”

"Hehe, if everyone had my strength, we would have rushed out of the earth to the advanced plane a long time ago." Robin is obviously unself-aware, and can't even distinguish between praise and disapproval from others.

Li Yan really didn't bother to pay attention to this kind of person, and asked Betters in the communicator: "Commander, is there anything you need our help with?" Even if it's to reload the cannon. ”

"You wait." As if he had seen something unusual, Bates pointed to the outside of the mech and exclaimed, "The weather is changing too fast!" When did these two strange clouds appear? ”

A sturdy level 7 guard bug rushed to the Titan's feet and pounded hard at the door of the makeshift hiding room. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck and turned the bug to ashes. Then, the electric light outside the mecha continued, and the two clouds that suddenly overpowered the top released thousands of powerful lightning bolts, hitting the ground and the swarm of insects in mid-air in patches.

"I'll go!" The crowd inside the mech was almost all stunned by what was happening outside. It was almost the first time in their lives that they had seen a swarm of lightning swarms, and what made them even more incredible: the lightning bolts were like they had eyes, blasting at the bugs indiscriminately, ignoring the human mechs that were close at hand.

"This ...... What the hell is going on? Li Yan looked at the surveillance panel, then at Robin, and began to doubt her eyes.

"This dude must have been lucky with shit." Chen Gengxin explained.

One minute later, the 100,000-odd swarm of the besieging collection team was wiped out, and the rest were basically severely damaged, and it was difficult to attack the mecha.

Seeing that the opportunity could not be missed, Betters hurriedly ordered a breakthrough and retreat.

"How did you know there would be lightning?" Li Yan asked Robin excitedly.

"Because I ordered that lightning." Robin triumphant.

"I think this Brother Luo may have the ability to sense the weather." Chen inferred, "It's not a big hit, but at least it's useful. There will definitely be some Midtown bigwigs who are interested. ”

"So my employment problem is settled?"

"If you want to be successful, you'd better have a strong combat ability; Otherwise, you will have to wait to be protected like me. ”

"Being protected by a beautiful woman like Mr. Artist is also an enviable benefit."

"Brother Luo is so 'versatile', 'handsome and handsome', I believe that there will be many Midtown beauties who are willing to provide you with their warm and thoughtful 'personal protection'."

"Haha, Brother Chen's auspicious words." Robin smiled happily.

Li Yan frowned, she really couldn't "appreciate" a straight man and a stupid man like Robin. At this time, the remote communicator she carried with her rang, and it was a signal from her uncle Huo Qiankun.

"Yeon-yeon, are you in a safe situation now? Are there any injuries? ”

"Uncle, I'm fine, I'm not hurt."

"Who are you with?"

"I'm with the gathering team."

"I mean, who's around you? Will they be able to protect you in time for an emergency? ”

"Chen Gengxin is by my side."

"He? What protection can a weak chicken that can't protect itself provide you? Hurry to Bettes, I've reminded him to bring you back to Midtown unscathed. ”

"Uncle, I'm safe now, so don't worry about it." Li Yan hung up the communication and looked at Chen Gengxin apologetically.

The latter heard the conversation just now, including Huo Qiankun's contemptuous call for him as a "weak chicken."

"Xinxin, don't take it to heart, my uncle just has no heart."

"How can a dignified midtown top boss say anything? What he said was the truth, and I was a weak chicken that everyone could bully. Chen Gengxin's expression was calm, but his eyes were on fire.

"If Brother Chen wants to become stronger, I may be able to help." Robin interjected.

"Oh? Do you have any good ideas? ”

"I've heard that the Dreadnought is the best at turning the weak into the strong, and can transform ordinary people into fearless, intelligent and brave warriors. Why didn't Brother Chen consult them? ”

"Dreadnought?" Chen Gengxin snorted disdainfully and turned his gaze to Li Yan. The latter's face was reddish at first, then pale.

"So you don't look down on the Dreadnought." Robin sighed.

"We didn't look down on the Dreadnought. The Dreadnought are the most heroic and rare survivor force in the post-apocalypse. Li Yan hurriedly explained, "It's just not convenient for us to interact with them. ”

"I see." Robin touched his chin, "It seems that Sun Zhenghong is really not good at public relations." ”

"Mr. Luo, are you familiar with the Dreadnought team?" Li Yan put away her mocking tone and asked solemnly.

"Emmnn, what do you say? With my Robin's name and identity, ahem, at least I'm familiar with the two dogs of the Dreadnought team. ”

"Joy and joy?"

"Not bad."

"How's the Dreadnought doing?" Li Yan had a concerned look on her face.

Before Robin could reply, a Bates announcement sounded in the room: "Distinguished members of the collection team and two reporters, I have good news for you: we have arrived at the cordon north of Midtown. This means that we are back under the protection of the powerful forces of Midtown. It's 16:15 in the afternoon and it's expected that at 17 o'clock we will be able to enter the city. Please cheer up and stand on the last shift. Have a great trip! By the way, I almost forgot the hitchhiker 'Master of Archery', as a new stranger to Midtown, you can only go as far as the outer part of Midtown, where you will have to go through a strict quarantine. I give you a piece of survival advice: raise your Star Soul to level 5 as soon as possible. ”

"Ha, that's a reminder to me." Robin smiled, "Isn't my superb archery skill more popular than that of a fifth-level star soul?" ”

Chen Gengxin laughed and said, "Brother Luo, if you can't evolve a fifth-level star soul in a short period of time, don't forget to quickly find a big family to be your son-in-law." Anyway, your beard is still handsome. ”
