Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 287 286. Why is it that when you can’t win, you set off fireworks?

The chase between the two sides came to an abrupt end after a relatively short period of time.

It’s not that Cipher finally couldn’t help but blow up the opponent’s engine with a shot, but...how to put it, if everyone hasn’t forgotten, this place is actually not a lawless place.

Each company has some industries here, and both large and small companies have certain assets. After just a short chase, the number of various communications and pursuit teams around immediately increased exponentially!
This guy might have figured out how to escape from these pursuits, but he certainly didn't think about what to do if there was a mercenary who didn't care about any benefits and just wanted him to die.

So after Cypher's explosive fire shattered the body he used as a trump card, this guy implemented plan B.

To put it simply, while firing at Cypher with the high-speed cannon that looked like a fire stick, the catapult was ready on the other side of the vehicle where Cypher could not detect.

Before Cipher was about to fire the first shot at the track, a thick smoke screen suddenly surged over the vehicle, obscuring its vision.

Pulling smoke during wartime is not a very wise choice, but this guy is obviously determined to do something in the smokescreen... What he sprayed was not train smoke, but a wide smoke screen that even covered the front of his own car body.

Cypher watched it gradually sink into his own smoke, and just as he was wondering whether to give it a shot to calm it down, a sharp whistle suddenly came from the smoke.

Then, something pierced through the smoke and rushed straight into the sky.

It spread its wings as gracefully as a swallow, and under the gaze of everyone, with the dark night as the background and the arc-shaped satellite as the backdrop, it lightly turned a circle to adjust its posture.

Then, it left the ground and fled into the distance, dragging a faint blue light, which was obviously caused by the jet-propelled nozzle continuing to work.

As for the car that was there...

Tien suddenly braked, the engine roared with dissatisfaction, and slowly released the excess power through pressure relief in various places.

Lin Shenxue in the engine compartment was wiping the sweat from her forehead with dissatisfaction. She thought she was going to be roasted just now... Fortunately, the technology in this area is very advanced.

"Why did you brake suddenly?"

"Ah... I have a bad feeling. My premonitions are pretty accurate, trust me."

The conversation lasted less than a second, and the car that had been running happily before and even planned to run all night to escape from danger... exploded.

The explosion was earth-shattering, so deafening that everyone in the area wished they could see it. The blazing flames shot up into the sky, instantly dispersing the still-bursting smoke.

A crimson light followed, activating the energy generated by the explosion, causing the entire stretch of sand to continuously transform into either silent or boiling light.

But no matter what, in the direction of the target that needed to be pursued... that thing really exploded, very thoroughly, and very much shattered. Even when the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, only a pile of completely unrecyclable twisted metal garbage was left in its place.

There were even some ammunition that had not yet exploded and were lying in the molten metal, about to explode after a while, making people afraid to get close.

The people in the car were silent for a moment, and Seifer sat up straight again. "So, from a normal point of view, this person escaped in a flying vehicle that took off from the spot."

"The rest were buried with him, and until now, none of us knows the true identity of the guy who caused such a problem, right?"

The answer is yes. Everyone is very unhappy that after working for so long, someone still ran away.

Feldrich snorted, "I've sent someone to investigate. Let's go back to the Node City first... Tsk, what a disgusting bunch of things. It makes me sick."

The result is just like this. I ran out excitedly to do something big, and then came back in disgrace. Although the loss of ammunition and the like is theoretically reimbursed, but... maybe it's just theoretically.

There is still one thing stuck. Feldrich is not like those guys in the car who eat and drink for free - even if he mentions Lin Shenxue, he is not that easy to fool. How should he explain it... On the way back, Sefer was always troubled by this problem.

Fortunately, the biggest troubles came after returning to the hotel. As the person with the highest status at the scene, Feldrich had to personally step forward to calm down those employees who were running around like monkeys.

As for whether there were remnants of the gang lingering inside, ready to retaliate at any moment, this wasn't a big issue. When the group came out to attack the fleeing vehicle, everyone still breathing in the hotel was captured, and at the same time, the Abian Company personnel entered the scene.

In just ten minutes, except for the nominal ownership, the entire hotel basically belonged to Abian - anyway, he could just return it after he was done with it.

In response, the owner of the hotel (currently out of town) said he was calm and would not make any protest remarks.

The vehicle, which had just experienced a battle and was only slightly stripped of sand and now had a bunch of strange bullet holes, was slowly parked in its previous berth.

Feldrich has left the car and is now 'cleaning up' the scene.

Everyone was equally exhausted after working in the car for half the night. Seifer asked them to get some rest, then left the main control cabin and headed straight for the scientific research cabin.

First of all, we need to add some skin, otherwise it will look a bit weird to walk around outside with such a mechanical body.

Secondly, I want to ask Dr. Mei... It's okay if I don't get any results. Maybe the omnipotent Dr. Mei has obtained the information at some point?
After all, it was she who passed on the information when Feldrich was assassinated.

As soon as he entered, Dr. Mei came over with a sofa that had appeared out of nowhere and had a revolving bottom. "Here I am. I want to know who the murderer is, right?"

"Yes, if I don't figure it out, I don't think I can sleep."

"You don't need to sleep anyway, so think about it."

It sounded like the residual heat from a recent exchange of blows. Cypher waited for a moment before Dr. Mei continued, "We'll need some time to compare the aircraft's model, detailed serial number, and so on."

"All of these have been deliberately erased of their proper identification numbers. This is theoretically very dangerous. We won't be able to figure it out in a short time. Why don't you go and rest now? I need some rest, too."

Seifer shook his head helplessly: "Then... help me make the skin first, and then... where do you plan to rest?"

"Of course it's the hot springs, where else would we go?"

Dr. Mei leisurely put down his work, took a bottle of paint from the table and drank it. His hair color instantly changed to black, and even his eye color changed.

"Rather than worrying about the enemy's quality, it's more important to quickly reach the Joint School Node City after resting."

Sefer was curious why?
"After the [Worms] campaign, some technology gave someone some inspiration. In other words, do you want to upgrade your car again?"

After understanding, Seifer asked cautiously, "Is there a fee?"

"Maybe, it depends on how you behave. If that guy suddenly comes to you during this time, maybe he wants to give it to you for free."

It’s quite... exciting.

The next step was to wait for the situation to calm down, resume the suspended rest, adjust the condition of the vehicle and personnel, and then set off again.
