Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 253 252. Let’s put aside the red tape and other things

The machine was just as described in the communication. The moment he sat in it, Seifer realized its extraordinary features - no need to introduce it in detail, anyway, things in the vision cannot be counted.

The point is, the cockpit of this machine is very spacious. While Seifer sits in the main driving seat, there is a special position directly in front of him where Sanai can easily ride on the soft padding.

In this case, it looks a bit like she's actively bending over in front of the driver's seat, while Cypher, sitting in the back, has to spread his legs to use the pedals... huh?

This posture looked familiar, and Shengnai even realized something belatedly. His cheeks turned slightly red, but he didn't dare to speak up to remind him.

The moment he entered the fuselage and the hatch closed, Cypher noticed that the situation inside the cockpit suddenly became a little...light, as if some kind of anti-gravity damping had suddenly taken effect.

Shengnai was more familiar with this feeling. She reminded Seifer, "It feels the same as that warehouse."

Which... oh, a centaur-shaped machine.

Cypher uttered a "hmm," and the machine was quickly lifted up by the lifting device. Even the sounds above became louder, with all kinds of roars ringing in the ears.

He just waited silently. When he was on the last leg, the entire platform suddenly stopped and then immediately shot upwards!

The sudden acceleration did not affect the two people in the machine. Even at the moment of catapulting to the highest point in the sky, Seifer was still able to immediately lock onto the machines on the field.

And he reacted in an instant - in mid-air, he had already opened the thirty-barrel missile launcher X2 behind him, and the rockets fired like a progressive barrage covered the sky and the sun!

In other words, covering the ground of the performance venue.

The reactions and responses of those machines were also quite strange. Some were dodging, some took out shields to block, and some immediately fought back, not caring about being swept by the blast or even being penetrated by armor-piercing rockets.

Strange, aren't these people mercenaries?
No, they were mercenaries, but there was something wrong with their machines.

The machine flew over and then landed on the ground. The main body of the machine was a beautiful blue with occasional white and red embellishments. It looked completely like the "protagonist's machine". It even had a convenient but definitely powerful pistol mounted on its left arm.

The right arm is a particle generator that can release the incredible particle light sword "Sword Qi" without charging power and can be swung directly.

Several machines were entangled in a fight, dodging, jumping and chasing at high speed. Countless rocket barrages whizzed out and bombarded each other. The huge stands seemed to have turned into a fighting arena, and it was very lively.

The huge machines collided and impacted, slashing at each other with particle swords, but the 'protagonist machine' with a completely different paint color turned the tide. Under the attack of so many enemies, it successfully counterattacked and even killed a pursuing guy with its first swing of the sword.

After breaking through a fragile wall, Seifer left the venue, but instead of running directly to the street, he walked around the venue and suddenly turned around when the subsequent enemies also broke through the wall and rushed out.

While sliding backwards in a cool manner, he fired bursts of shots from the pistol mounted on his left arm, hitting the opponent's joints with precise shots, knocking the opponent off balance on the spot.

Then he slashed upwards, turned around and sprinted without caring whether the machine was dead or not. With a deafening explosion behind him, he had moved to the other side of the circular area of the venue.

Then came one beautiful kill after another, and with each move, the people watching nearby would let out strange cheers.

You're willing to sacrifice your life just to watch the fight, right?

Sefer wanted to ask these people, but unfortunately he couldn't.

As the last machine fell, Cypher slowly brought it to a stop, and at the same time, an external communication... or rather a communication from the 'bodyguard' came through.

"Wow! Red Crossbow, you're so awesome! You managed to take down this guy here by yourself!"

Cypher said modestly, "It's not all my own strength. Strictly speaking... it's probably because this machine is well made. It has a high output. I'm quite satisfied."

"No, no, it's mainly because you're awesome. I really don't understand how these guys managed to break in. This is clearly the entrance to the company."

There was a complaint from the other end, and then he suddenly remembered something: "Oh, right, Red Crossbow, since we are right at the company's entrance, then you wait a moment, we will drive over right away and send Miss Mimi to the company's headquarters first." He said that he didn't know when the next attack would come, but they actually dared to attack the company's pillar-level superstar. This kind of enemy must be dealt with heavily.

Until then, we must protect the star well and not make any mistakes. Saifu expressed his understanding and then glanced at the company gate.

"Is this the company's headquarters building?"

"Although it's not the central headquarters, it's still the core of this city. It's quite impressive, isn't it~"

Anyway, it is indeed a headquarters. Seifer nodded and thought for a moment: "Let me ask you a small question, that is... Have you ever protected a VIP before?"

The person on the other end was stunned for a moment and replied that there was none, because the company had hired many new bodyguards before, and when they came in, even the big stars promoted by the company had been replaced several times.

But every time the company promotes a star, they are extremely popular, although the previous retirements were a bit subtle.

"Why are you asking this, Red Crossbow?"

"Nothing, just... just chatting while we wait for the car to come."

Having said that, Cypher was not so honest in the body. He looked at the internal program of the body for a long time and contacted the communication personnel outside the vision at the same time.

According to them, the pilots of the machines that were blown up by Cypher were all corporate mercenaries.

But those people didn't show the strength of corporate mercenaries at all.

They said their bodies were locked and remotely controlled, which is why their movements were so stiff. It's obvious that someone is behind this series of events.

Judging from Sefer's experience of reading novels in his previous life, this should be a kind of...reality show-level hype.

The goal of spending so much manpower and material resources, and even causing heavy casualties among the audience, must be to launch a "grand curtain call".

Because Sefer had experienced this phenomenon before and had been tricked, he was so sure that the company must have evolved to the pinnacle for fun.

So what should we do now? Since the people on the other side of the hatch wouldn't be kind enough to accept our team members, Seifer decided to do something big.

Companies like to make things dramatic and big, so why not give them what they want?
A luxury car squeaked to a stop on the overpass facing the machine, and two bodyguards jumped out, one of whom was an old friend of Cypher's.

The other one looked anxiously at the front hatch of the aircraft slowly opening, from which walked out a female bodyguard with a delicate face and a great figure.

She asked, "Has the situation stabilized?"

Behind her, the beautiful 'Miss Mimi' was holding her arms dependently, looking at the two of them carefully.

The two bodyguards nodded immediately: "Yes! Come on, Miss Red Crossbow, let's move to a safe place!"

As they reached out their hands, Cypher raised his hand and fired a shot at close range, smashing one of them in the head.

Before the other man could react, he fired another shot at the weapon he was about to draw, forcing the man to stop.

Then, after thinking for a moment, he applied a game his colleagues used to play and said, "Hey, cowboy, are you still dreaming?"

"Let's burn this city to ashes together."
