Chapter 690: I ordered the lightning

After all, Betes is a sixth-level star soul powerhouse. He continuously used multiple energy shock waves in a critical moment to block the squad forward's surprise attack. Robin, who claims to be superb archery, shot arrows randomly in a style that is more cool than actual combat, and even accidentally blocked the effect.

After one minute of this, everyone retreated into the mecha without any danger. Once they entered the mecha, they were immediately temporarily isolated from the external environment, and the mecha's various powerful killing methods could be used without reservation.

Robin returned to the temporary Titan Mech's hiding room and said to the communication panel: "Bay, let the team attack and move, don't stay in place! Otherwise, it will be easily dragged."

Betes has not had any experience as a front-line battlefield commander, but he has basic judgment. He knew that Robin was right and immediately did so. The collection team's numerous mechas and vehicles formed a steel torrent, crushing the small group of insects that blocked the way forward towards the Central City, and the various weapons he carried opened fire at the same time.

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

Suddenly, two rotatable laser emitters and four cannons loaded on the Titan were dumbfounded at the same time. A technician reported: "Commander, the weapon system is overloaded and cannot be attacked for the time being."

Bets asked in surprise: "How could this happen? The Titans only kept firing for a few minutes."

Robin, in the temporary hiding room, spoke sarcastic, "The fire at such a high intensity can only last for a few minutes at most; otherwise, can the bugs still be so rampant?"

"You seem to be very understanding. Can you tell me how to kill insects when the weapon system is overloaded?"

"It's very simple. If the weapon system is not available, just punch and kick." Robin said, "A Titan's size and tonnage can kill insects even if it is stepped on with its feet."

Bets suddenly realized and immediately ordered the Titan to switch to anthropomorphic action mode. Its four thick and strong metal hands and feet began to fly up and down, killing the insects close to it, scattering all over the sky.

In the temporary hiding room, Li Yan, Chen Gengxin and Robin viewed the surrounding situation through the miniature monitoring panel on the wall, and their bodies swayed and bumped back and forth with the movement of the Titan.

"Wow", Chen Gengxin couldn't bear the burden and vomited heavily while covering his throat.

Robin, who had expected this, took out a plastic bag from somewhere, caught Chen Gengxin's vomit without falling, and threw it out cleanly outside. He patted Chen Gengxin's back and joked: "Artist, you should strengthen your proprioceptive adaptive training."

Chen Gengxin stood up straight with the armrest on the wall and replied, "I suddenly felt much better."

Li Yan looked full of concern, "Xinxin, you must hold on. We will definitely return to midtown safely!"

Chen Gengseng sighed, "I'm really useless. I can't help at all when I fight so fiercely."

"You don't have to blame yourself. Your duty is to help me faithfully record and report facts, and use writing and art to inspire the citizens of the city. You are not a warrior, so you don't need to use combat power to demand yourself."

Chen Gengxin first said silently, and then asked Robin, who was also doing nothing in the hiding room, "Brother, do you think we non-combatants can do something about killing bugs?"

"Of course." Robin looked confident.

"Let me listen carefully."

"Pray for everyone." Robin looked solemn and his hands were closed.

Chen Geng mocked: "If praying to the holy immortal Buddha works, the insects will no longer exist. Since the insects are still alive and are sieging us madly, it means that praying is useless."

"Mr. Artist thinks praying is useless, right?" Robin turned his eyes to Li Yan, "What do you think of the beautiful reporter?"

"I only believe in the facts that can be witnessed with my own eyes." Li Yan's eyes were firm.

"It's true that there are principles." Robin stared at the monitoring panel and muttered: "It's a pity that what you see with your own eyes may not be the facts. The more you know about the way the world exists and operates, the more you can feel: the so-called facts are actually manifestations that are constructed and presented."

"No matter how deep your lines are, they cannot change the basic fact that we are being besieged by insects." Li Yan mocked him again.

"Don't say it so absolutely. Maybe I just recite a few special lines and the insects that besiege us will be destroyed." Robin muttered: "Heavenly spirit, earthly spirit, come to lightning to kill insects; Smurfs and purple spirits will appear when they should appear."

The insect swarm outside continued to surround and attack like a tide, and the mechas then fought back and fired. The firepower of the collection team weakened, and the size of the insect swarm became larger and stronger, and the offensive became stronger and stronger.

Li Yan sneered at Robin, "Fortunately, there are not many charlatans like you in our midtown; otherwise, everyone would have ascended to the Pure Land long ago."

"Hehe, if everyone had the strength of me, we would have rushed out of the earth and reached a high-level plane." Robin was obviously unaware of himself, and could not even tell the praises and criticisms of others.

Li Yan was too lazy to pay attention to such people and asked Bets in the communicator: "Commander, do you need any help? Even if it's just loading ammunition for the machine cannon."

"You wait first." Betes seemed to have seen something abnormal. He pointed to the outside of the mecha and exclaimed: "The weather has changed too quickly! When did these two strange clouds appear?"

A strong level 7 guard worm rushed to the foot of the Titan and poked the door of the temporary hiding room hard. Suddenly, a lightning bolt came, turning the insect over and burning it to ashes in an instant. Then, the lightning lightning outside the mecha continued, and suddenly the two clouds pressed over the top released hundreds of powerful lightning bolts, hitting the insect swarms on the ground and in the air in groups.

"I'll go!" Almost all of the people in the mecha were stunned by what was happening outside. This was almost the first time they had seen a group of lightning struck a swarm of insects. What made them even more incredible was that these lightnings were like eyes, bombarding the insects indiscriminately, and ignoring the human mecha that was close to them.

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

"This guy must be lucky enough to be out of here." Chen Gengxin explained.

One minute later, the 100,000-scale insect swarm that was besieged and collected by the collection team was wiped out 70% or 80% of them, and the rest were basically severely damaged, making it difficult to attack the mecha any longer.

Seeing the opportunity, Bets quickly ordered a breakout and retreat.

//////////////

"How did you know there would be lightning at that time?" Li Yan asked Robin with great enthusiasm.

"Because I ordered that lightning." Robin was proud.

"I think this brother Luo may have the ability to sense the weather." Chen Gengxin inferred, "Although this ability is not a big hit, it is at least practical. There will definitely be some midtown big shots who are interested."

"So my employment problem is settled?"

"If you want to be high, you should have powerful combat abilities; otherwise, you can only wait like me to be protected."

"Being able to be protected by a beauties like Mr. Artist is also a welfare treatment that is not exchanged for a daughter, which is enviable."

"Brother Luo is so 'versatile' and 'handsome', I believe there will be many beauties in the city who are willing to provide you with their enthusiastic and thoughtful 'needle protection'."

"Haha, please tell Brother Chen Jiyan." Robin smiled happily.

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

"Yanyan, are you in a safe situation now? Are you injured?"

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

"Who are you with?"

"I'm with the collection team."

"I mean who is around you? Can they protect you in time when an emergency occurs?"

"Chen Gengxin is by my side."

"He? What kind of protection can a weak chicken who cannot protect himself provide you? Come to Bets quickly, and I have reminded him to take you back to Midtown without any harm."

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

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

"Xinxin, don't take it to heart, my uncle just talks but doesn't care."

"How could the top big guy in the city be nonsense? He said everything he said was the truth. I am a weakling that everyone can bully." Chen Gengxin's expression was calm, but his eyes were on fire.

"If Brother Chen wants to become stronger, I might be able to help." Robin interrupted.

"Oh? Is there any good way for you?"

"I heard that the Fearless Team is best at turning weak into strong, and can transform ordinary people into brave and fearless warriors who are both wise and brave. Why don't Brother Chen ask them?"

"Fearless Team?" Chen Gengxin snorted disdainfully, and his eyes turned to Li Yan. The latter's face turned slightly red at first, then pale.

"So you don't like the Fearless Team." Robin sighed.

"We don't look down on the Fearless Team. The Fearless Team is the bravest and rare survivor power in the end of the world." Li Yan hurriedly explained, "We just don't have the convenience to interact with them."

"So that's it." Robin touched his chin, "It seems that this guy Sun Zhenghong is really not good at PR."

"Mr. Luo, are you very familiar with the Fearless Team?" Li Yan put away her sarcastic tone and asked solemnly.

"Emmnn, how do you say it? With my Robin name and identity, ahem, I'm at least very familiar with the two dogs of the Fearless Team."

"Lele and Huanhuan?"

"good."

"How is the current situation of the Fearless Team?" Li Yan looked full of concern.

Robin had time to answer, and Bets's radio announcement rang inside: "Dear members of the collection team and two reporters, report to everyone good news: we have arrived at the cordon line in the north of Midtown. This means we are back under the protection of the powerful force of Midtown. It is now 16:15 pm, and we are expected to enter the city at 17 o'clock. Please cheer up and stand on the last shift. I wish you a happy journey! By the way, I almost forgot the free-ride 'arrow master'. As a new stranger to Midtown, you can only reach the outer city of Midtown at the farthest, and you will have to undergo strict quarantine. I will give you a survival advice: to upgrade your star soul to level five as soon as possible."

"Ha, this is a reminder." Robin smiled, "Isn't my superb archery more popular than the fifth-level star soul?"

Chen Gengxin laughed and said, "Brother Luo, if you can't evolve into a level 5 star soul in a short period of time, don't forget to find a big family to be your son-in-law. No matter what, your beard is still very handsome."
