Chapter 802: The boss appears in person
Li Ke was very fast. He drove the motorcycle that transformed into a spaceship and quickly headed to his base with Sona on board.
But before he reached the base, he saw countless explosions and the pungent smell of gunpowder in the air.
“Has it started yet?”
Looking at the lights in the distance, Li Ke quickly connected to the base's surveillance. Then he heard a very recognizable voice and saw countless strange mechas.
Rushing in the front were scorpion-like mechas, their bodies emitting light blue light. Behind them were mechas shaped like the deep-sea monster Urgot, also emitting light blue energy.
And above the sky, there were big-eyed monsters waving their tentacles, constantly firing various beams and missiles at the base's shields to reduce them.
Of course, the counterattack from the base was also swift. Countless drones quickly took off and started fighting with those... or octopus-like mechas. The originally plain steel ground also became angry with sentry guns, which began to continuously release missiles and machine gun bullets, and under the defense of the shield, they continued to attack those mechas.
However, the effect was not very good. When hundreds of sentry guns attacked the scorpion mechas in the front, the blue light that lit up on their surfaces could greatly absorb the damage, so the battle line was basically advancing step by step.
However, Li Ke knew that Rambo had not yet made any serious moves, and his ultimate combustion rocket had not yet been released. This thing could artificially create a magma pool on the earth. If it had not destroyed his underground network pipelines, he would have released it immediately.
but……
Li Ke watched helplessly as a shell hit the location of the network pipeline directly. The next moment, countless flames shot up into the sky, and in the deep pit, the broken line was so obvious.
"The master is going to get mad."
Li Ke complained about it because Rambo had a game account that was idle and would be disconnected from the Internet. The game could successfully increase its strength as long as it was connected to the Internet, but once it was disconnected, it would be gone. Rambo's efforts for the past five or six years would be in vain.
So the next moment, Li Ke heard Rambo's angry roar.
"Scorching Hell!!!"
Countless rockets suddenly fell on the group of mechas. The next moment, those mechas that were still able to advance quickly in the storm of bullets were all submerged in the red lava.
Rambo was also driving his own small mecha, operating the drone turret while constantly using flames to burn those mechas that looked like monsters. The sounds of machinery and explosions continued to echo on the battlefield. However, Sona, who was held in Li Ke's arms, trembled immediately after seeing the machine on the screen.
"Those machines, they have psychic powers..."
Sona's voice sounded without any emotion, and Li Ke understood one thing.
The people who experimented on Sona were the same people who attacked their base.
"Really? I haven't even gone to look for you guys yet, and you guys are already looking for me!"
Li Ke increased his speed, and the speed of the small airship became faster and faster. Li Ke also directly called out the artillery system on the airship and prepared for the battle in advance.
The moment he approached the battlefield, Li Ke entered a combat state. Everything in the world began to slow down. His hands quickly started to move, continuously launching attacks on the densely packed robots.
This small airship did not carry any powerful weapons. He took a look and saw that it only had some pulse energy cannons and a few Hellfire missiles.
Therefore, the energy missiles released by Li Ke only produced blue ripples on the bodies of these mechas, and then disappeared.
"interesting……"
Li Ke looked at the mechas that were slowly aiming their electronic eyes at him, quickly raised the altitude of his spaceship, dodged the missiles released by the octopus mechas in the air, and then quickly looked for the commanders around him.
Although the weapons on this spacecraft are mediocre, it has a positioning system connected to the missile launch system of the base. This is what Rambo originally planned to use to fight against official personnel, so its power is quite exaggerated.
However, all he could see were densely packed mechas and a huge hole leading deep into the earth.
Looking at the endless holes being dug by some special four-legged mechas, Li Ke narrowed his eyes.
There might be a traitor among the teacher's acquaintances.
However, just when he thought there was no one else here, Sona's hand suddenly touched his head, and the next moment, Li Ke clearly sensed everything around him.
He could feel the changes in psychic energy and the thoughts of the creatures here. He even felt that he could influence the forest energy shields below!
This was not an illusion; it was Sona in his arms who had opened her abilities to him!
But Li Ke didn't do that. Doing so would not be a good thing for Sona. It would put great pressure on her brain and make her brain feel great stress.
And most importantly…
Someone has entered the base!
Li Ke could feel that three cold consciousnesses were heading towards the place where they stored the mechas in the base! And in front of them was a foreman who was a new teacher to him!
These mechas are just baits, the real killer is the traitor!
"Teacher! The enemy has entered the base!"
So Li Ke immediately contacted Rambo and operated the airship to fly towards the base.
"What!?"
Rambo screamed, he quickly turned on the surveillance camera and immediately realized something was wrong!
Because there is no problem with the monitoring!
Including the bad ones he deliberately left behind!
Obviously, someone hacked his surveillance!
“Damn it!”
Rambo also realized that there was a traitor, and immediately activated the countermeasure program and backup surveillance, and then he saw three strange creatures.
An iron man who has been modified almost completely, a woman in a dress, and another woman who has covered her eyes with a strange mask, as if she is attending a dance party.
And at the front is his foreman, who hates deep-sea monsters the most and has always regretted that the weapons made by Rambo cannot kill deep-sea monsters due to route problems!
“Damn it!”
Rambo slammed the keyboard hard. He guessed the reason for the other party's betrayal. It was simply that he had never fought the monsters. But it was too late to say anything now!
There were two other people who were equally angry.
“Victor!!”
Leona, who worked as a chef in the base and assisted Rambo in collecting data, originally did not want to get involved in this matter, but the moment she saw Victor's image, she lost her mind and ran to Rambo's laboratory without hesitation, rushing towards the armor and weapons that were debugged according to her combat style and data.
"Leona! Wait a minute!"
Atreus was also filled with rage, but his armor had just been disassembled, so although he caught up with Leona, he could only watch Leona, wearing her armor still plugged in, crash through the glass window with her shield, and then rush towards the opponents who invaded the base.
Rambo didn't say anything. At this time, he could do nothing but support Leona.
While locking all the programs and joints of his Tyrant Sword Demon and Li Ke's Assault Freedom, he mobilized the drones and guards inside the base to intercept the three people who broke in.
"Leona! Be careful, your armor only has five minutes of power left! Also, the pulse energy shield is not yet fully debugged. Over-activation may cause an explosion! Be careful!"
“That’s enough!”
Leona responded gratefully and then rushed over.
At this time, Li Ke finally returned to the base.
But for these invaders...
"We have been discovered. The being marked as Leona is coming here wearing a power armor of unknown material. According to the information I obtained during the invasion, this plan is called the Source Project. It also includes human body modification. Although the technology cannot be compared with yours, it is indeed as you said. The materials of these things are enough to make up for the generation gap in technology."
The woman wearing the strange device on her head suddenly spoke, but the mechanical device under her feet did not stop, and continued to carry her forward.
In response to the news, the man who lived with a cane and an arm behind his back spoke up.
"That's normal. Rambo is not a scientist who specializes in human body modification. It's normal that he is not as good as us in this aspect. Leblanc, stop her, but don't kill her. If possible, take away the mecha from her for research."
The name called was another woman who was wearing a dress and holding a strange scepter in her hand. She rolled her eyes and asked in dissatisfaction.
"You, the leader of the Black Rose, have troubled me to personally take out the things here, but I can't even take a look at them?"
She was talking about the two mechas. These two mechas were undoubtedly what they wanted. Rambo's mature control system was a hot commodity for any organization now, especially an organization like theirs that had gone too far in automatic AI. After Sean's rebellion, they naturally needed sufficient counterattack force.
"Our mission is to obtain sufficient material samples, Leblanc."
"So why don't we just hack into the database?"
"Because this part is the most confidential, there is no surveillance or paper records. If there were no official data, we would not even be able to determine whether it is true or false. But judging from the resistance we have encountered so far, this is true."
The woman with the eyepatch spoke up.
"I think it's because you can't break the defense code written by Li Ke and Rambo, right? Lissandra."
Lissandra looked at LeBlanc expressionlessly, but the leading man spoke before Lissandra could.
"Stop fighting among yourselves. The mission is more important. Li Ke and Rambo are both geniuses who are not inferior to me. We only have this one chance, so we must act decisively. If we fail, I will re-evaluate your performance."
His meaning was very clear. If this operation went wrong due to internal strife, he would kill both of them.
LeBlanc stopped talking and snorted coldly before heading towards the path they had to take, while Viktor and Lissandra continued to move forward.
They quickly came to the place where the mechas were parked under the leadership of the foreman. Looking at the two Gundam mechas, Victor, who quickly invaded Rambo's computer, couldn't help but praise them.
"What a genius design. Apart from the useless decorations and unnecessary life-support devices, these are indeed the most suitable mechas for humans to pilot. Especially the mecha named Strike Freedom. Its internal design obviously requires a modified human to be able to afford it and fight. Unfortunately, he is still not proficient in human body modification and cannot design a more ingenious design."
He looked at the harsh conditions that would be created when the Gundam was operating, which was obviously not something that normal humans could enter. He just lamented that Rambo was still not proficient in human transformation, otherwise he would have been able to design a better plan!
"But they are all locked. I can't break into these programs."
Lissandra on the side poured cold water on the situation.
"That's normal. After all, this is a defense program designed by Rambo, so it can't be cracked using conventional methods."
As Victor spoke, he pointed his hand at the Tyrant Sword Demon who was the first to assemble the weapon system.
It's not that he didn't want to take Li Ke's Gundam in one go, but because the operating system of the Tyrant Sword Demon relied more on programs rather than manpower, allowing Lissandra to use it directly after entering.
"He doesn't know the power of psychic energy!"
In an instant, a huge amount of psychic energy swept through the entire base. Rambo's brain was instantly connected to Victor's brain, and the two people's memories began to link instantly.
Rambo opened his eyes wide, and he saw the wailing of countless people, the 'gate' at the pole, and the fact that Sion was not the first machine with useful self-awareness.
But just when he was shocked by this fact, he suddenly realized that he suddenly remembered the information of the key to unlock the locked password!
"not good!"
He reacted instantly, but it was too late.
Because everything around him began to turn into phantoms! He was shocked to find that he was the one who opened the door and the energy shield to let Victor and the others in!
He had already been affected by Victor's psychic power, but the other party had not yet launched it. Instead, he launched it when the mecha outside attacked!
This oversight could have been easily detected, but the enemies outside were real, so Rambo didn't notice it for a while, which led to this loophole!
He hadn't made any equipment to defend against psychic energy before! If he had, these people wouldn't have been able to get in!
This made him unable to help but curse.
"Despicable villain!"
If Victor was a mercenary he wouldn't curse, but from what he remembered, Victor was also a scientist!
He cursed with full confidence!
Feeling Rambo's unwillingness, he used his modified brain to open the program lock and joint lock of the mecha in an instant. At this time, Lissandra also opened her arms and slowly sent the Overlord Sword Demon controlled by her into her cockpit.
And Victor in Rambo's mind also spoke.
" Rambo, this isn't mean, it's just a simple performance difference."
Rambo also responded directly, because in the previous memory exchange, he also obtained Victor's research results and knew what was going on with his body.
"What nonsense! Are you still a human being now?!"
Victor looked at Rambo, feeling his resistance to transformation, and shook his head helplessly.
"It seems that you don't like this kind of thing very much."
