Starting as a Mechan Chapter 66 - 57: Special Rescue

Chapter 66: Chapter 57: Special Rescue

Daisila seed to have had a very long nightmare. In the dream, a raging Fla Giant wielding the Twilight Sword fiercely destroyed all her weapons, reducing her entire being to ashes and annihilation.

"Uh, cough, cough."

Daisila opened her eyes in confusion. Above her was the stark white light of a sterile room, and a breathing mask hung over her mouth, producing a faint mist with each inhale and exhale, which explained the slight stuffiness she felt.

Her two Prosthetic Bodies no longer had sensation. This didn’t surprise her, but her left hand also had no response, which made her feel a bit empty.

She struggled to turn her neck, and sure enough, her left hand had been cut off at the base.

"You’re awake," a cold electronic synthesized voice sounded.

Daisila looked over, and saw a brand-new chanical Body lying on a nearby operating table, with very little flesh content.

The chanical Body was motionless, but the electronic screen above the operating table descended, flipped over, and lit up, revealing Huang Wen’s face.

"How are you—"

"Just like you, but I wasn’t as lucky as you. The electronic virus destroyed all my Prosthetic Bodies. This isn’t unexpected, as Cyber Hackers in Nightless City can do this. After all, the Electronic Defense Wall I installed was just a basic version."

"But what surprised

was that these electronic viruses could even invade the physical part of , rendering my new Prosthetic Body in standby mode. Once the Prosthetic Body reboots, the virus will instantly revive."

Huang Wen’s face filled the screen, but his expression was unexpectedly calm.

Daisila was stunned. She knew about the power of Cyber Hackers, but invading the flesh too was just too exaggerated.

"Electronic viruses can invade the body? How is that possible?"

"Ordinary viruses can’t do this, naturally. Judging from my deductions, the Electronic Knight must have uploaded her virus to the Cyber Network and activated it. The activated virus could directly interfere with the Neural System, you could understand it as her opening a back door in my brain."

"That’s why I’m in this state now, similar to paralyzed individuals using brainwaves to read and make sounds."

Daisila’s face twitched, "You’re really unlucky."

"No, actually I’m quite lucky, because not every Prosthetic Doctor can reattach my damaged Prosthetic Body. It’s a large project."

"As for the electronic virus, it’s beyond the Prosthetic Doctor’s scope, so I’m very grateful to Mr. Gao."

"Gao Gong is the one who helped ? He found a Prosthetic Doctor?"

"You misunderstood, Mr. Gao himself is a Prosthetic Doctor, and his surgical skills are quite exquisite."

"He’s a Prosthetic Doctor?"

Daisila was stunned. She had never heard this news. She knew that the value of a hundred chanical Hunters couldn’t compare to a single Prosthetic Doctor.

If Gao Gong really was a Prosthetic Doctor, how could the Security Corps let him go? They wouldn’t stop until they brought him into the Legion.

The role of a Prosthetic Doctor is not just to replace parts but to truly treat and save people on the chanical level.

As if seeing through her thoughts, Huang Wen’s electronic voice sounded again, "Perhaps that is the reason. Not everyone wants to join the Legion."

"Of course, there’s another possibility. A Prosthetic Doctor can rally a large team anyti they wish."

"From what I see, this one has grand ambitions."

Daisila said in confusion, "The Gao Gong I know is a Lone Wolf, not really fond of partnering with others."

"People change. I’ve already had my chanician Squad join in. All the Prosthetic materials I’ve collected over the years, along with chanical repair tools and weapon systems, will be shipped over in batches."

"I’ve already transferred 300,000 chanical Coins to his account."

Daisila was once again stunned. After a long ti, she finally asked, "How did he convince you? Does he have so great and ambitious plan?"

’Huang Wen’ replied flatly, "No need for persuasion, because without his periodic adjustnts to my chanical Body, I would surely suffer brain death."

"I’m afraid of death, so I invested."

"..."

"DAISILA!!!"

Outside, Matsushima Keiko was the first to rush in after hearing the commotion, followed closely by the remaining five mbers of the Fire Grass Squad.

"Daisila, it’s so good that you’re alright, wah wah wah wah..."

Matsushima Keiko hugged her and cried.

Daisila forced out a slight smile, intending to comfort her for a few words, but as her gaze swept across, her expression imdiately changed.

"Where are the others?!"

The few mbers of the Fire Grass Squad looked at one another, and finally, one vice-captain braced herself and said, "Only us are left, Daisila. Just like you, we were also attacked by a large number of unknown people."

"Keiko eventually forcibly drove the Combat Chip ’Chaotic Cherry Blossom Frenzy’ to lead us out."

"Daisila, don’t lose hope. As long as you’re okay, we can rebuild the Fire Grass Squad anyti."

Daisila’s half face trembled uncontrollably, Fire Grass Squad once had over fifty elite close-combat chanical Hunters at its peak. Even after the great defeat, it retained more than thirty combatants.

They were all comrades she could entrust her life with.

Now, including herself, there were only seven mbers left.

"If it comforts you, my chanician Squad’s loss is no less than yours. In fact, had it not been for us detonating those virus-infected teammates as Biological Weapons at the last mont, we wouldn’t have survived."

"You actually used your comrades as human bombs!" Matsushima Keiko looked at the other party in disgust.

"In a control system, any electronic component’s damage needs tily replacent, or it will cause the entire system to collapse. I believe after being my deputy for so many years, you should understand this principle, Matsushima Keiko."

Daisila pressed down the incensed Matsushima Keiko, taking a deep breath.

"Gao Gong, no, I want to see Mr. Gao."

"He’s not here," Huang Yuanli walked in, curiously glancing at Huang Wen on the electronic screen.

"He asked

to tell you that if you want to know where he is, open the Battlefield Recorder."

"Who would carry that damned thing? The Security Corps betrayed us! All the ambusher’s weapons are targeted!"

"That’s right, the Security Corps uses and discards us, they won’t die a good death!"

Seeing the outraged crowd, Huang Yuanli shrugged, taking out a ’High-tech Walkie-Talkie’.

"He knew you didn’t have it, so he prepared ahead of ti."

This was a ’Recorder’ from the early days of the war, which, besides real-ti recording, only had the function of refreshing rankings.

But now, the ’handcuff version’, besides refreshing rankings, also has real-ti broadcasting capabilities.

It’s said this was modeled on the Civilization Era’s ’live selling’ operation mode, which, through real-ti reward feedback, can inspire the chanical Hunters’ desire to go to battle.

As soon as the Hunting Leaderboard opened, a certain individual’s ranking skyrocketed, rising a place every few minutes.

At a visibly discernible speed, a certain ’Hunter Gao’ burst back into the top ten.

...

An hour ago, on the western defense line of Automobile City

In fact, since the battle conference in Scavenger City ended, the so-called four main defense lines were ’in na only’.

Outside the Oasis, only small and large new Radiation Circles remained, with no living people in sight.

More troubling is that the new Radiation Circles are rging; once complete, it marks the beginning of the Oasis’s full assault.

If the Oasis falls, unsurprisingly a new tropolitan Area will imdiately arise in its place.

In the Uninhabited Land, behind walls and shooting platforms, lay vast amounts of abandoned supplies, guns, and ammunition.

If the chanical Hunters’ organization is ’Pseudo Army’ level, then the Security Corps is standard ’National Army’.

In favorable conditions, they achieve greater kills, but once faced with adversity, they collapse faster than anyone.

The chanical Legion can achieve a 100% battle damage ratio, yet the Public Security Corps loses morale if they suffer over 10% losses, and over 30% leads inevitably to collapse.

At this mont, a tactical squad is fighting while retreating, clad in exoskeletons more advanced than ordinary chanical Hunters.

Customized blue tallic shells, streamlined armor structures, with weapon systems conforming to sports dynamics, mounted with various sized weapons.

On the exoskeleton’s palms and shoulders are installed ’Small Beam Emitters’ and ’Small Multi-functional Missile Launchers’.

The ’Small Beam Emitter’ needs no ntion, it’s the predecessor of energy weapons, also known as the ’Close Combat Air Cannon’.

And any exoskeleton equipped with a missile launch system is at least ’Fine ’.

However, inside these weapon systems, each is empty; obviously, all these wide-range weapons have been exhausted.

At this mont, these Exoskeleton Warriors can only rely on assault rifles and machine guns to fight and retreat.

At this ti, the advantage of Radiation Beasts is evident; these monsters charge headlong. Whenever they’re about to die, their radiation organs begin to glow, followed by a terrifying explosion.

The battlefield’s two-ter-deep, three-ter-deep mud pits are all caused by these explosions.

Even the most advanced exoskeleton will suffer damage from a single hit.

Two hits, and the internal organs of the user inside will be injured.

Three hits an the exoskeleton and its user will both et their end.

The Major’s squad, fighting and retreating, had dwindled to less than a dozen under the continuous explosions.

However, at least a hundred Radiation Beasts still eyed them.

Not even the most resolute Major Zhou Cong could help but despair at this point.

Just then, the roar of an engine erupted.

At the edge of their vision, an armored vehicle sped forward, with machine guns flipping out from both sides of the vehicle’s body, beginning to scour the Radiation Beasts.

The firepower line resembled two invisible long whips; wherever it swept, both n and beasts were overturned.

"Beast Makino Type Three, our people!"

The Major’s eyes brightened, imdiately issuing an order.

"Everyone, defend your positions, buy ti for our allies."

The Beast Makino Type Three, true to its status as the latest heavy armor vehicle, crashed into the beast swarm almost without slowing.

The explosions imdiately engulfed the vehicle, yet the machine gun’s sound never ceased.

Finally, after the last dozen Radiation Beasts fled in panic, the battered and blackened vehicle rolled out from the pile of carcasses, stopping in front of the Major.

In the plus of smoke, the car window slowly rolled down, revealing a young face.

Gao Gong lit two cigarettes, handing one to the other.

"Mind telling , where are the most Radiation Beast swarms around here?"
