Chapter 485: Backup
Translator: _Min_ Editor: Rundi
When Jiang Chen returned to the apocalypse again, he was completely stunned.
All the Reptile robots’ machine guns stalled and the Pythons drones crashed.
[What the fu*k! What kind of cheat is more powerful than mine?]
Jiang Chen immediately looked in the mansion’s direction. He saw Lin Lin with a dagger in one hand while she waved at him with the other.
[It was it… or her.]
Jiang Chen’s expression was perplexed.
Tingting was a spy sent by Harmony. Even if the “Antenna” was no longer there, he didn’t have an idea how he should take of it as he has been hesitant. She seemed to like him but his impression of her was far less.
And she just saved him.
[Whatever… I’ll think about it later.]
Jiang Chen let out a sigh. Just then, his pupils suddenly contracted.
The dagger from Lin Lin’s hand slid down. The swaying body slowly fell to the ground.
“Lin Lin!”
Sun Jiao saw that something was odd and immediately jumped to that direction. But because the distance was too far, she was just inches away.
With hands hanging in the air, Sun Jiao watched Lin Lin fall to the ground as she screamed out a cry.
“No!”
Just then, a shadow broke through the air as Jiang Chen caught Lin Lin falling to the ground head first. He rolled on the ground with her in between his arms and smashed into the wall.
His head was dizzy from the impact, but he shook it off and looked at Lin Lin in his arms anxiously.
The helmet opened as Jiang Chen put his head closer. When he felt the faint breath, he finally felt relieved.
“Pervert… do you want to kiss me again?” Lin Lin’s eyes opened a line and looked at Jiang Chen as she said feebly.
“Could you not say that every time?” Jiang Chen wryly replied.
Lin Lin smiled and looked away. A red hue covered her pale face.
[Switch to me.] Tingting’s voice surfaced in her head.
[No, let me stay for a bit longer,] since she already controlled the technique to speak with her, Lin Lin said in her head.
“You lied to me!”
[How could I? I said I would lend you the body, but, but this is a princess hug!] Lin Lin’s face blushed even more.
Although a layer of steel was between them.
[So switch to me!]
“What are you murmuring to yourself about?” Jiang Chen had a genuine smile on his face when he saw Lin Lin with continually changing expressions.
“No, nothing—”
Bang—
The bullets fired at Jiang Chen and hit his back.
“Ouch!”
Jiang Chen let out a painful roar and covered Lin Lin in his lap.
The back was the entrance to the power armor and the weakest point of the power armor. It was the most foolish choice to face the enemy with his back, but he was hugging Lin Lin.
Warning: Power module damaged.
[Fu*k! Too careless!]
Jiang Chen didn’t dare to hesitate. He swung his hand with a steel hook and fired it into the smoke, sticking to the Reptile Robot. His hand shook and the steel string along with the robot disappeared into thin air.
Just then, Jiang Chen’s expression changed again.
The power model being damaged meant that the entire power armor had collapsed and the 300-kilogram weight was being held on by his pure muscle strength. His entire body felt like it was injected with lead.
Afraid to stay any longer, Jiang Chen stood up with Lin Lin still in his arms. Dragging his heavy body, he jogged to the side of the mansion.
“I will cover for you!’
Right now, Sun Jiao was already on the top floor with the sniper rifle aimed at the collapsed mansion wall. But then, her eyes widened.
Ten Reptile drones and ten Python drones swarmed into the broken wall again.
Regardless of how skillful her shooting was, she could not take out 20 targets in an instant.
“Dammit.” Jiang Chen raised the machine guns on his right arm and fired at the robotic force.
The bullets sparkled on the mechanical surface, but the enemy’s firepower was no inferior. To protect Lin Lin, he had to take the shots.
“Ahhhh—”
With finger locked on the trigger, the machine guns revolved rapidly. With one hand holding Lin Lin and covering her on the side, Jiang Chen moved toward the edge of the mansion with difficulty.
As long as he could circle to the other side.
Warning: Armor damage 80%, please exit the power armor as soon as possible.
“That’s enough, just put me down.” Lin Lin put her hand in front of Jiang Chen’s chest and gave him a feeble smile.
“Enough my a*s!” Jiang Chen gritted his teeth as he locked onto the mechanical force rushing in without consideration for loss, “I fu*king said that I would take you to try all the puddings in the world.”
Although he used derogatory words, Lin Lin felt a stream of warmth flow inside her.
She felt the vibration in the front of her chest and gently closed her eyes.
[What to do?]
[The storage dimension is full.]
With the energy of the nitrogen armor nearly depleted and the increasingly powerful force attacking him, Jiang Chen clenched his teeth and used his spare hand to fire back.
Suddenly, at where his crosshair aimed, dust erupted and interrupted the bullets coming at him.
Jiang Chen paused and raised his head as his expression turned ecstatic.
[It was the Type-51 helicopter! The Second Corps finally made it!]
“Direct him.”
“Reloading… completed.”
“Fire!”
“This is Gunship 1, we have arrived at target airspace. General, are you okay?”
The calm voice rang in Jiang Chen’s ears. The electromagnetic cannon destroyed the communication hijacking device, and the communication returned to normal.
“I’m very… not good. Thank you all. You finally made it.” Jiang Chen sat on the ground, on his butt, and forced a bitter smile.
Finally made it.
Six black dots dropped down from the sky, and the airborne power armor landed in the backyard of the mansion as they spread out, in formation, to protect Jiang Chen. At the same time, the electromagnetic pulse cannon hovering in the sky unleashed its power against the enemy and smashed the robotic force. The victory was beginning to tip towards NAC’s side.
The communication returned to normal and the teams that fought independently united again.
Han Junhua in the community center immediately executed the battle plan through the map. She ordered the remaining force in the base and the paratroopers that entered the battle to launch retaliation attack against the remaining mechanical force.
The outcome of the battle was determined.
In the space station, Lin Chaoen looked emotionlessly at the pawns disappearing one by one.
He still didn’t understand how Jiang Chen made the robots disappear.
And the ability to suddenly disappear and appear.
“Could it be the hidden genetic code? No, that’s not possible… The anti-physics ability is not something that the hidden genetic code can achieve.” Lin Chaoen slowly closed his eyes.
On his face, there were no more expressions that mimicked a human. All his computation power was used to analyze the event. But some of the things could not be solved by just computation.
He let out a sigh and opened his eyes.
“Father, I need your intelligence.”
He muttered and pressed the control interface a few times. The antenna he just fixed was pointed to a location in Wanghai.
The plan half failed. Harmony left the battle, but Jiang Chen was still alive. He wanted to know what he should do next. And Lin Lin was still alive. The outcome from Fallout Shelter 05 was no longer as disastrous as they had thought.
Just then, Yao Yao who was busy working in front of a computer without much effect finally felt relieved by the fact that the communication returned to a normal state. She suddenly realized an odd wave.
A wave from space.
Directed toward…
Without any hesitation, Yao Yao moved her nimble fingers and quickly pressed on the screens to track the target of the signal.
The hologram surfaced as the target appeared as a red dot on the map.
Yao Yao was fixated on the map. Her eyes widened and slowly gulped.
“Yao Yao finally achieved something…”
