Book 6 Chapter 39.10 - Silent
After stopping his coughing with great difficulty, O’Brien gripped Eileen’s hand, giving her an apologetic smile, and then looked below the mountain. The mont his eyes shifted, he suddenly saw an enormous black cloud currently surging from the horizon! The dark cloud moved extrely quickly, and it headed almost straight for Arthur Family’s territory. When they were a bit closer, one could see that this wasn’t so dark cloud, but rather countless chanical bugs! The bug swarm’s close to a hundred kiloter radius clearly told them that this was a bug swarm that was on an even larger scale than the last. anwhile, the last battle was faced with Arthur Family’s complete defensive facilities, ample preparations, and a net supported by the crossfire of nurous allies, and only then did they last until today. However now, a chanical bug swarm that was almost ten tis larger appeared without any warning!
This place was deathly still, only the loading trucks’ engines still ignorantly rumbling. Everyone else stood there silently, looking towards the sky. They didn’t do anything, not resisting, not running, and not hiding either. Dazzling searchlights lit up the factory sites as bright as day, the brilliant lights visible even from several dozen kiloters away. Everyone had experienced the last battle, so they also knew what the sky-covering chanical units signified. All actions were aningless, even if only 1% of the combat units fell, they could still blast these several hundred people to death.
O’Brien laughed bitterly, and then coughed violently again, but didn’t take action to attack. Right now, apart from the Spider Empress’ strengthened Doomsday Storm, he definitely didn’t think there was any chance of winning against an enemy of this scale, only able to ensure his own survival. Since attacking was useless, then what was the point of making the first move? This was actually already despair.
“Eileen, if there is a chance, you and older sis should go first, don’t worry about .” O’Brien ordered.
“No!” Eileen directly refused.
“Eileen! You know my body...” O’Brien frowned and berated. Right now, he already possessed great awe when he displayed anger.
“No!"
O’Brien began to cough again, no longer trying to hold it in, instead raising his head towards the night sky. At this ti, the chanical bug swarm’s front line already arrived at the edge of their firing range. Based on past knowledge, they should have already seen specks of flickering light in the night sky, the sign of high energy light beams’ arrival. However, the night sky was still an expanse of darkness, the chanical bugs at the vanguard quickly entering miniature guided missile firing range, but there wasn’t a single missile fired. They only silently flew past, as if they didn’t see the several hundred people gathered beneath at all. When the bugs in the front flew past less than a hundred ters above the ground, a young man finally couldn’t endure this invisible pressure, pulling out his automatic rifle with a scream, and then firing crazily at the chanical combat units in the sky! Clusters of bullet shot into the air, hitting at least three chanical units. However, when they reached a hundred ters in the sky, the power already decreased substantially, only producing a string of sparks, not blasting down even a single one. The mont the young man went crazy, a few seasoned old soldiers already noticed that sothing wasn’t right, but they still couldn’t stop the youngster who suddenly went crazy in ti.
The attack finally drew the chanical units’ reaction, several dozen familiar lights appearing in the night sky. Then, dozens of high energy light beams shot at the youngster, instantly blasting him into a charred corpse. Several hundred chanical combat units stopped, circling about slowly, and then the large bug swarm passed over their heads. The chanical units’ high energy light beam firing devices released a bit of light, but they didn’t charge all the way.
The survivors on the ground stood there, stupefied, not daring to move anymore. They gripped the weapons in their hands tightly, but didn’t dare raise the muzzle even slightly. This was a death-like stillness, death-like pressure. Thick sweat continuously tumbled down from their foreheads, but no one thought about wiping at it.
A low buzzing sound could be heard in the sky. Countless chanical units flew past the sky like a great river that rushed into the distance, as if it would never end.
Following a cha sound, a match was lit from the mountain top not too far away, the flickering fla clearly not matching its surroundings. Over a hundred chanical units raised their vigilance level, aiming their high energy light beam firing devices at the match that was lit. However, the match only lit a single cigarette. O’Brien took a deep breath, and then he began to cough intensely again, his body even bending.
When the coughing settled slightly, he straightened his body, looked towards the massive chanical bug swarm that gradually departed into the distance, and then asked, “Sis, where do you think they’re headed?”
Persephone remained silent for a mont, and then said, “Perhaps the southern continent.”
“That’s what I think too. However, what important objective is there in the south that is worthy of such a large scale chanical swarm moving out? I have a feeling that this target might be soone the two of us are quite familiar with.” O’Brien slowly said.
Persephone frowned, and then she sighed. The sister and brother were of the sa origin, actually the sa in many areas. Her Mysterious Fields Domain was higher level, her premonition and intuition stronger. The instant she saw the bug swarm, she already sensed sothing. The more she thought about it, the stronger this feeling beca. This was a feeling that lacked all reasoning. Being impossible to explain was a trait unique to the Mysterious Fields, as well as the greatest difference from Perception Domain ability’s ‘Clairvoyance’.
The cigarette quickly reached its end. O’Brien faced the cold night winds, took a deep breath, and then said, “Older sis, have you carefully thought to yourself about what kind of person Su really is? Or, what is he really?”
