Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 126 125. How does that saying go? Intelligence is very important, right?

On the covered bridge, three people were dodging various shooting angles and running wildly in the cover.

There was a person hanging far behind them, sniping at all the autonomous machines that showed up, while they were responsible for the group that rushed over from close range.

After finishing a round and changing positions, Seifer could only feel that the stability of the gun in his hand was decreasing.

After firing continuously for so long, the gun is currently overloaded. It's possible that energy has started to flow wildly inside, ready to give the user a severe blow.

Sever paused. "I need to cool this delicate thing down. Where are you?"

After a while, Number Six's voice finally reached the line. His tone was a little vacant: "We're almost there. Just use the markings we left to cross the central axis..."

"...Okay, wait."

Sever swiftly threw his weapon onto his back and quickly moved between various shelters. It only took him a few minutes to rush from the sniper point to the other side of the pier.

Thick steam obscured most of the vision. The pier in front of us was hazy and seemed endless. On the other side, we could hear the movement of machinery, the "beeping" sound of alarms and the gunshots of No. 4, No. 5 and No. 6, indicating that the pressure ahead was not small.

After swiftly crossing the fence of the pier, Sefer had just stepped into the last section of the pier and entered the other side wall of the circular space when something unexpected happened.

A rope with weights at both ends cut through the steam and swept accurately towards Seifer's upper body!

Although I was prepared, to be honest, I felt a bit disrespectful towards him for using such a retro gadget.

Seifer let the rope wrap around himself, and finally wrapped around him a few times. As he quickly retreated, several long needles with electrode heads were fired at the same time.

Falling to the ground, just as Seifer was considering whether he should perform a few twitches to make himself look more realistic, the three of them couldn't wait to run over.

"Ha! Finally took the bait!"

Number Six was very excited, and then Number Four quickly grabbed him and said, "Wait! Don't get close yet. Her fighting ability is too terrifying. Be careful not to be deceived!"

Then the three of them stood not far away, carefully staring at Sefer, who had his back to them and was silent at this time, and looked like he had been electrocuted.

"I don't know what this girl's physique is like. The medicine we gave her is clearly enough to transform her, but she can still fight until now..."

The autonomous machines nearby were temporarily cleared out, and the sniper units could not be replenished for the time being, so it was unexpectedly safe.

I have to say they chose the right time.

But if they were allowed to get closer, they would probably find that the electric needles were not inserted into the flesh, but were hanging shallowly on the skin.

So, Cypher suddenly said, "Congratulations on your success. May I ask who hired you to do this?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the three of them immediately retreated in fear, and then several ropes were launched over, locking Sefer directly to the ground.

"H-How can you still speak?!"

"That's interesting. Why not? I can even operate that kind of machine. What do you think this little safety current can do?"

Not only did Sefer speak, he also tried to turn his head and look at the three people, but the rope with a pulling force enough to hang more than a dozen strong men on the wall at a ninety-degree angle was quite unreliable and could not be moved for the time being.

"...Forget it. Our mission is to capture you and bring you back to us. As long as you're alive, it's fine. I warn you not to resist meaninglessly any more. This will be good for all of us."

Cypher shrugged, which startled the three again.

He said gently, "How about this? Tell me who gave you this mission and why they specifically wanted to capture me. Then you can leave this place."

Number Five grinned, "No, Miss, you are mistaken. The initiative is in our hands now. You only have two choices: cooperation or death."

"The three of us will at most fail our mission, but it would be a shame to leave such a beautiful face like yours lying here."

The three of them discussed it, switched their weapons to the stun guns they had hidden in their bags, and continued to approach cautiously. But then they heard Cypher change his approach.

"Well, I might die here, so before I die, I want to find out who hired you, okay?" "No, we have professional ethics in this business."

Alas, why are these people unwilling to listen to advice?

Feeling like he couldn't get anything new out of him, Seifer suddenly turned his head—that is, his head suddenly turned 180 degrees behind his back.

"Alas?!"

The three were startled.

"Originally I just wanted to know who hired you, but who made you have such good professional ethics?"

As he spoke, his body had already changed from lying on his side to crawling. The most terrifying thing was that during this action, Sefer's face was always facing the three people.

This horrific behavior made the fear in the hearts of the three people overwhelm their reason. They couldn't even make an attempt to escape. They could only watch woodenly as Sefer continued to struggle against the ropes.

Those tough creations that could be used as climbing ropes and carabiners broke apart with crackling sounds, and even the metal grille ground was bent by the action.

The speed is slow, but the power is unquestionable.

The last rope broke, and Seifer calmly shook off the debris and stood up. The moment he finally looked at the three people normally, their numb bodies finally reacted.

run.

The farther the better, away from this monster!

Even their cold hands and feet could not stop their will to escape. The three of them turned around suddenly and started running away without hesitation.

Seifer rushed towards the slowest running No. 6, but before he could take two steps, he felt an attack from behind.

With a thud, he was knocked to the ground.

He fell uncontrollably to the ground, the weight of the metal base making him dizzy, the smell of rust in his mouth and nose and the terrifying glare in front of his eyes.

His brain was dizzy, and he was like a rag doll that was turned over. The blood on his face made Sefer hesitate for a moment - to take off the respirator from him.

"If you don't want to die, just tell me. Who gave you this commission?!"

“Ahhhhhhhhh?!”

Number Six screamed and tried to fight back in a panic, but he didn't expect that Cypher would not give him any chance at all. He simply knocked his arm off with a punch, and then punched him in the stomach. Even through the bulletproof plate, he woke up on the spot.

"Speak now, don't play dead."

Number Six spat out a mouthful of blood foam and finally spoke: "I, I don't know. It was a task given to us by the boss... Oh right! Ask Number Four, he'll definitely know!"

Cypher thought about it, then suddenly dropped him.

"Wait, wait a minute, can you take my hand back? I can still fight and can also help you find the way..."

"First of all, I'm only here to speed through Node City. Secondly, I was attacked by you. I'm being kind by not shooting you in the head right now."

Cypher stood up without looking back. "The bottom line is, you can't even afford to buy your own life. If begging for mercy worked, I'd be a billionaire by now."

Without hesitation, he pursued another passage, leaving a disabled person lying there - the sound of autonomous machines arriving could be clearly heard nearby.

But Sefer had already chosen his path and started running, not caring at all about what was happening behind him.

The second target was Number 5, who had entered a complex circuitous passage. He chose the most complicated route, firmly believing that doing so would allow him to shake off the "monster's" pursuit.

Because the other road is full of autonomous machines, if No. 4 chooses that road, his gunshots will definitely attract that guy over there. Take this opportunity to escape to the mezzanine area!

As long as we reach the other area of the mezzanine, we can leave here safely!
