Chapter 142 - 109: Why Would the Invincible Me Need to Lie_2
“Negotiating excessively with the local civilization along the way clearly seems like a thankless task that takes more effort than it’s worth.”
Considering the troubles related to negotiations,
Jiang Chen would rather follow in Senior Yano’s footsteps, directly obliterate the catastrophe, complete the mission, leave behind the seeds of mecha pilots, and then leave promptly.
Therefore, he temporarily ignored the stability forces and did not waste words on them.
Instead, he focused all his attention on teaching the survivors and sharing information.
During this process, due to the presence of the survivors, the stability forces hesitated, fearing collateral damage, and because Jiang Chen didn’t make any special moves, there seemed to be hope for communication.
So, the situation weirdly came to a standoff.
During this process,
Jiang Chen also had Xiang Hui go on a zero-dollar shopping spree at the mall, copying the video data onto other hard drives and mobile phones as a backup.
To prevent the seed information he left behind from being easily destroyed.
Time quickly passed by one hour.
In full view of everyone, a dark rift abruptly opened beneath Xiang Jing’s feet, completely swallowing her up.
The trial begins!
Since this world had traditional martial artists and super ability gene warriors, many survivors thought the creatures emerging from the ground were products of some genetic research institute.
They did not truly believe what Jiang Chen had said.
Not until they witnessed this scene did many survivors finally realize that what the gold-red mecha had mentioned might actually be true—
They frantically searched their bodies, wanting to see if they had awakened an Abyss Rune.
While they were searching, several more survivors consecutively fell into the abyss.
Only Xiang Hui looked on enviously.
Why had so many people awakened, yet he hadn’t?!
For a full hour,
the stability forces were trying to arrange negotiators, persuading the pilot of the gold-red mecha to abandon the hostages and get out of the mecha.
However, when the captain of the stability forces saw one survivor after another fall into the dark rift, he was completely furious.
What abyss rift, what basic trial…
All were just cover-ups and excuses.
A rift that could swallow humans could also be created with supernatural abilities.
Unwilling to negotiate, taking hostages, and using superpowers to kill them…
This was clearly the actions of a heinous criminal!
The captain suppressed the anger in his heart and asked his deputy in a low voice.
“Has Mr. Cui arrived?”
“Yes, he’s already in position nearby.”
“And the snipers?”
“They’re all in position as well.”
A cold glint flashed in the captain’s eyes.
Originally, considering the other party had dealt with the monsters, he wanted to negotiate and find out the origin of this mecha…
Now, there was no need.
Once they deal with the pilot, they could take it to the armed forces for analysis; although it was a bit troublesome, it felt more reassuring to use.
He gave a low order.
“Be careful not to use explosive weapons; that would destroy too much of the mecha’s structure…”
“Just killing the pilot will suffice.”
“Take action!”
The captain’s command was swiftly conveyed to everyone’s ears through the walkie-talkie.
In front of the mall, a magician-like man in a top hat suddenly appeared, gave a slight smile to the gold-red mecha, and threw a red cloth backward.
All the survivors gathered together, all covered by the red cloth.
The next moment, along with the man in the top hat, they all disappeared instantly.
Another spatial ability, huh…
Being born with such a high-tier ability, I’m really envious.
With Jiang Chen’s reaction ability, he had locked onto the man in the top hat the moment he appeared.
However, he wasn’t some villain.
What needed to be explained had already been conveyed to these survivors.
So, he didn’t stop the man in the top hat’s actions.
As the man in the top hat took the survivors away, eight red dots locked onto the central and several other parts of the gold-red mecha—
“Bang!!!”
The moment the gunshot sounded, eight special armor-piercing bullets were fired at the gold-red mecha from eight different angles!
The captain smiled.
Such armor-piercing bullets, mixed with super technology, were very valuable.
Even a heavily armored tank would be penetrated by a single shot!
This mecha, although it appeared powerful, couldn’t possibly withstand it…
Wait, it actually withstood it?!
The captain’s eyes widened.
After the gunshot, the surface of the gold-red mecha showed no damage; the armor-piercing bullets seemed completely ineffective!
No…
The truth was even more terrifying.
In full view of everyone, the gold-red mecha lifted its finger, and eight special bullet heads slid from its palm, falling onto the ground with a clinking sound.
This four-meter-tall steam mecha had actually caught the special bullets with its hand!
“Fuck!”
The captain exclaimed in shock.
This seemingly bulky and cumbersome device was capable of doing that?
Those were bullets!
Well, they were just bullets after all.
Jiang Chen, piloting a primeval mecha with over one hundred agility, was able to combine with the Bio-organic Force Field to achieve one mach in flight speed.
Now that he had nearly fifty thousand agility, plus the computational power brought by the Bio-organic Intelligence,
Bullets traveling at around a kilometer per second appeared incredibly slow in his eyes.
Just by briefly activating the mecha soul boost, he could use nearly thirty thousand agility to pluck these bullets from the air.
Of course, these bullets were also unlikely to penetrate the thick armor of the steam mecha; he could have ignored them outright.
Jiang Chen chose not to ignore them but to demonstrate the agility of the mecha,
Primarily to showcase his own formidable strength.
Because, just as he had entered the cave of monsters to investigate, Zero, through the special connection of traits and bonds, conveyed a message to Jiang Chen.
