Chapter 10: Odysseus's Dog

Looking at this old man with a Mediterranean hairstyle with a big eyes and a small wrinkled face, Andy always felt very weird....

Why is it that a guy who looks like a mad scientist leads a group of GIs to raid an automated prison with the apparent goal of helping the inmates escape?

Although many people had this kind of question, but no one had the heart to express any doubts, everyone ran in all directions, and ran wildly towards freedom, no one dared to fight the old man's idea, and the soldiers with loaded guns gathered around the old man and stared at him, although they wore gas masks, their fierce eyes were revealed.

Andy was tempted to have a few words with him, but as soon as he took a step forward, a bullet landed at his feet.

"Get out."

A rude voice came out of the mouth of a sturdy soldier on the side, and the automatic rifle in his hand could continue to spit out tongues of fire at any time.

Even if V-mode gives Andy strong self-confidence, there are so many people in front of him that it is enough to easily kill him.

So Andy wisely chose to turn around and run.

"Goodbye - thank you, good Samaritan! ~”

The old man and the soldiers looked at the guy who was running away a little speechlessly.

"Ignorant fools."

A soldier muttered indifferently, and the old man waved his hand.

"Don't be so mean, shouldn't he thank me? He really should. ”

The old man stretched out a hand and put the gap between his fingers in front of his eyes to clamp the figure in the distance that was running farther and farther, and his inexplicable expression looked a little crazy.

One of the GIs behind the old man suddenly pressed the headset on his ear, communicated something with the others remotely, and then came to the old man's side and said a quick word.

"The scout said he saw a big guy coming this way."

The old man didn't respond, just turned away, and the attention of the others turned to the distance behind him, because the terrifying ground tremors had been transmitted from far and near.

"Boom-boom-boom-boom——....."

A GI took out his binoculars and looked in that direction, then lowered them in disbelief.

"Hell, that's it..."

The old man snatched the telescope from his hand and looked in that direction, and on the distant horizon, a huge object of astonishing size was slowly approaching here.

The huge black metal body glittered in the sunlight, several meters wide and more than ten meters high, and four thick metal limbs drove the entire body forward in a lizard-like way, but it seemed to have been damaged in many places, and it was constantly flashing with electric light, and its movements became not smooth and a little clumsy and slow.

The old man looked at the scene in the telescope and smiled sickly.

"Look at everyone..... One of the greatest creations of the Old World, Argos, the Fortress Robot, the dog of Odysseus.... Those little surprises we put around seem to have succeeded in causing it some trouble, hahaha~"

The GIs weren't so easy, and a huge wobbly metal monster was approaching them, something that would have a huge visual impact just by looking at it.

The huge robot is almost a metal structure with long legs, and a diamond-shaped "head" in front of it should be its detection device, which is densely covered with complex sensors, but unfortunately this complex structure is also the most damaged part of its body, and it looks like it is disfigured.

The rolled metal and black burn marks confirmed that there had been a violent explosion in its vicinity, damaging its sensors and leg servers, which was why it had been belated.

In layman's terms, this thing is blind and lame right now.

The rear of the body is covered with various firing tubes and armor, the most conspicuous of which is the huge antenna device in the center of the rear of the torso, and the thick metal limbs cause the ground to shake with every step.

It is Argos, the dog of the mythical Riodysseus, the most powerful caretaker of Tibbetts prison.

The deep, deep male voice that had been in prison was now on Argos' loudspeaker.

"Terrorists, you have the audacity to attack Tibbetts Prison, and in accordance with security regulations, I have activated emergency security mode."

The GIs didn't react otherwise, but directly began to attack the huge robot, long spears and short cannons fired together, and some even took out rocket launchers to launch rockets, Argos's heavy armor and broad body withstood those attacks, and at the same time, there were also rectangular giant laser generators sticking out of its sides.

As the power of the internal reactor was charged, the laser was generated from it, and it was rapidly shot out through the crystal matrix in front of it, which was definitely not comparable to the lasers fired by those small robots before, it was simply two pillars of light.

"Hum—"

The laser swept over, and there were two more deep grooves in the concrete floor that melted down, and the scrapped cars along the way melted on the spot without a snort, and then a small nuclear explosion occurred.

It's a pity that this powerful counterattack was actually crooked, because Argos's sensors were badly damaged, and for him, at this moment, it was a blind man with a sledgehammer to hit a pack of wild dogs.

Although they missed, the terrible heat and destructive power still frightened the GIs, and they retreated again and again while attacking and pinning down Argos, but the old man had no fear at all, holding the strange firearm and continuing to shoot powerful pulse waves, the pulses fired by this energy weapon obviously caused Argos more serious damage than those soldiers' guns, and under his constant attacks, Argos even began to struggle.

The old man lifted his gas mask, laughed wildly and let out a frantic cry, and staggered a little towards the behemoth in the distance.

"Come on, you big dog, come and kill me, I am the messenger of fate, I am the opener of a new world, you think you can.... Kill me?!!! ”

A strong pulse slammed into one of Argos's front legs, knocking him to the ground.

Argos opened a row of launch slots in his back, and threw the cylinders forward in a parabola, slamming into the concrete, and then with a bang, the cracks in the falling cylinders began to quickly spew black smoke into the surrounding area.

A soldier rushed over and grabbed the old man, who was not alive or dead, and forcibly put a gas mask on him, and then ran wildly towards the rear, and as soon as the two of them left their position, a half-human-sized cylinder was inserted directly into the ground.

"Dr. Prester, it's pretty much over, the scout says that the robots at Tibbetts Prison are already pouring in, and all the inmates who can run have already run..... That's it! ”

The old man shook off the GI and looked back at the huge robot that couldn't move for the time being, he knew that it wouldn't last long, and the Tibbetts prison maintenance robots would be able to complete the initial repair of Argos in a few hours, but this was already the limit of what he could do.

The first step of the matter went well.
