Chapter 476: Attack
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Herlous received approval. He sat opposite Alvin, arranged his card set, and sneered, “Since you want to give free money, I shall grant you your wish.”
“Haha, it’s still uncertain who will lose.” Alvin laughed loudly.
His laughter could be heard in the entire cabin. The other passengers looked over.
The two of them started the round, which quickly beca intense. Alvin was very quick to familiarize himself with others and spoke in a tone as if they were already very close friends. After the initial awkward stage, the atmosphere soon beca harmonious as they chatted and joked with each other.
Han Xiao stared at Alvin from start to finish, preventing him from having any ulterior motives. At the sa ti, he discreetly activated the tal detector and wave detector in case he had so devices on him.
However, Alvin did not make any strange movents at all; everything that he had on him was normal. He was just playing cards excitedly along the way, shouting and joking, seeming very forthright.
Two hours later, the train arrived at the station.
Alvin took a deep breath of the fresh air, turned around, and slightly bowed toward Han Xiao and the others. “It was a short trip, but the ti spent was amazing. It will be engraved in my mind as a beautiful mory. I sincerely thank you guys for your company. We are friends now. I hope that we will have the chance to et again in the future.”
Then, he waved, turned around, and left with his bag.
“Strange guy,” Sylvia murmured.
“Such an amiable guy,” said Feidin with a smile.
“He’s probably just an honest passerby. We might have been overthinking,” Herlous said.
Han Xiao glanced at him and did not comnt. Although he still did not know Alvin’s motive, he rarely believed that anything was coincidental. Even if this guy called Alvin did not do anything abnormal during the trip, he still did not let his guard down. He patted Phillip’s tal head and said, “Captured his looks?”
“A total of 372 photos, hum... There’s one for every angle, hum...”
“Let’s not care about him for now. We shall go search for our target.” Han Xiao nodded and walked forward. Then he casually asked, “By the way, I did not see earlier, did you guys win money in cards?”
Herlous scratched his head.
“That guy is quite good; he won a few hundred from ... I lost a lot, so I let Feidin help . He won a few rounds, and then we arrived. In conclusion... hmm? It happened to be a tie. No one won or lost any money.”
Han Xiao’s footsteps suddenly paused, and he rubbed his chin.
“Alvin, never heard of this na before... interesting...”
...
As Han Xiao did not know Alvin’s motive, he put the matter to the back of his mind, followed the clues from the intel, and found the last place that the target appeared.
It was a narrow, rural street surrounded by tall buildings. Between the tall buildings, there was surprisingly a comparatively short villa. Its construction style fitted the aesthetic of humans—smooth, symtrical, and with a yard. It looked like a private mansion.
The alloy door was sealed shut, so the inside could only be seen through a small window in the door. There was no one in the yard at this ti.
Han Xiao looked around and noticed a button beside the door, likely the doorbell for visitors.
“We’re here to search for soone, not to kill... ahem, sneak in. It’s best to knock. The target has foresight anyway. If he wants to see us, he will walk out himself.”
After pressing the doorbell, they waited at the gate. They were used to climbing over walls, so now that they had to walk the front gate, they felt uncomfortable.
After a while, Han Xiao pressed the doorbell a few more tis, but still, no one responded.
“There might be no one in, or the person inside doesn’t want to open the gate. What do you say, break in?” Herlous shrugged.
“Since no one responded, we shall go in and take a look before...”
Boom!
Han Xiao’s sentence had yet to finish when a loud bang suddenly ca from above. He was way too familiar with this sound—it was the sound of a cannon being fired. Han Xiao could analyze the cannon’s model with just the sound. “Dodge!”
Everyone there was a Super, so their reaction speed was extrely fast. They imdiately jumped away from their initial spot.
Boom!
A chain explosion happened on where they initially stood, and black smoke filled the air—this was the effect of an exploded rocket.
Looking up following bullet trajectory, it was from one window in the building opposite the villa. Quite a few vertical creatures were extending their heads out of the window and looking down. One of them was still holding the rocket launcher.
The next mont, ten or so creatures jumped out of the window and fell right onto the ground from dozens of ters high!
The thick smoke dissipated in the wind, showing the true face of those creatures—a group of stone creatures. They had four arms, two legs, and one head, wearing simple and plain battle suits, and had so firearms in their hands. So even had lee weapons like chanical axes, war hamrs, and the like. They gave off a rcenary vibe as they were on the verge of attacking.
Han Xiao and gang were just looking for soone; they did not expect to be attacked, so they were surprised.
“Why did you attack us?” Sylvia asked.
“Soone paid us to teach you a lesson,” a stone man said.
Teach us a lesson?
Sylvia was about to reply, but suddenly, her face changed, and she yelled, “No, Phillip!”
Han Xiao looked over following her voice. Around the feet of these stone rcenaries, broken parts were spilled all over the floor.
Phillip had been too slow and could not dodge the earlier explosions. It had been blasted into pieces and beco a pile of scrap tal.
At this ti, these stone warriors struck. They growled with a weird voice and charged toward Han Xiao and the others.
Han Xiao tutted. He pulled out a compressed orb from his necklace, threw it onto the floor, and it rapidly expanded into the black Amphiptere chanical suit. However, he did not wear it—it stood beside him.
This ti, Han Xiao said with a deep voice, “Beat them up!”
Hum!
The eyes of the Amphiptere chanical suit suddenly lit up!
This chanical suit moved on its own. It swung its leg sideways like a black lash, whipping the foremost stone warrior on his chest.
Pa!
The huge strength blew him away and smashed him against the wall, shattering a huge pile of pebbles. It was unknown whether it was from the wall or from the stone warrior’s body.
“Order effective, hum... Combat Mode activated, hum... The enemy is blown away, hum...”
The empty Amphiptere chanical suit was in combat mode, and Phillip’s voice ca out of the helt.
Phillip was an artificial intelligence, so it lived in computer systems. Machinery was just what he controlled. When the shell was destroyed, it would not be damaged with it. Its core was behind layers of protection. With the computing speed of an artificial intelligence, it could simultaneously control dozens more chanical beasts than before. Furthermore, with the combat simulations in the database, it could improvise on the spot and battle independently with a high standard!
This ant that Phillip could replace him and pilot the chanical suit, and it could pilot more than one!
The smart chips before this had limited computing speed, comparatively weak combat capabilities, and could not react quickly. These were the most necessary attributes in the everchanging battlefield, so the smart chip could only be used as an assisting feature in combination with Han Xiao’s nerves connection. However, with the new smart system built with [Advanced Artificial Intelligence Technology], like the improvent from gunpowder weapon to electromagnetic weapons, it was a complete update and enhancent!
Han Xiao’s Hound Style had very limited effectiveness against enemies at the sa Grade, but together with the strong chanical suits operated by an artificial intelligence, it would make an entirely different level of impact. His chanical suits were high quality chanical weapons, so this made up for his shortage of robot warriors! Even if it was against soone at the sa Grade, it would still last very long!
All High-End Knowledges were useful. The artificial intelligence technology that had powerful computing speed was one of the prerequisites of completing the Army Style!
Han Xiao turned around to Sylvia and said, “Go back and copy the theory for smart chips five tis.”
Sylvia’s face imdiately dropped, completely downcast.
Buzz!
chanical Force gushed out from Han Xiao’s fingertips and entangled with Amphiptere chanical suit, providing it with his bonuses.
There was no need for him to fight; Phillip controlled the chanical suit and dealt with the enemies. It analyzed all the movents of the enemies and accurately dodged all their attacks. Its heavy punches cracked the rock skin of the stone warriors, making suppressed loud noises.
Dong, dong!
Pebbles spurted everywhere!
“Don’t hit too hard. We can’t randomly kill people on Noriosse.”
Han Xiao leaned against the wall and watched the one-sided battle. His eyes flickered. “Furthermore, these stone n were probably hired by that Oracle to wait for us. It looks like he indeed knows that soone is looking for him. Humph.”
