Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 79 79. Some people should be sent away but are still alive, while some people should not be sent away but are still dead
Before the two were about to leave, a strange vision suddenly surged, then turned into a stream of light and dissipated.

There was nothing in the portal, but something was being sent out - a halo of light swirled before Cypher's eyes.

It’s not like there’s going to be another guy coming to eat… Although there’s plenty of space in the car, we can’t drag people out of the vision every day.

While complaining in his heart, Sefer raised his hand and touched the halo.

It immediately expanded into a huge ball of light, then condensed into a sharp-edged structure. It had a somewhat bloated upper body, legs that seemed heavier than ordinary two-footed feet, and arms used to mount weapons...

The light quickly solidified and faded away in a silent glow. Finally, what appeared in front of the two was a huge machine with a chain-like holographic projection surrounding it.

It is about ten meters tall, and no light can be seen on it. The most puzzling thing is that it only has a rather complicated melee weapon mounted on its left arm.

This thing... is it the same machine I flew out to search for the enemy in the vision? But why is it so quiet?

"Ms. Red Crossbow, is this your vision reward? It looks like its power supply is damaged."

Cypher turned his head: "Can you see the problem with it?"

"Just barely? I often follow the medical vehicles around to provide assistance, and I've seen a lot of similar situations, so I occasionally have some intuition."

After Shengnai made sure that he had secured it, he didn't care about the reward or anything like that. The small tricycle immediately burst out with power and quickly carried the two of them away from the second urban area.

On the way, Cypher could only pass the time by looking at the passing cityscape and the gray helmet of the petite girl driving in front of him.

There was silence in the communication. It seemed that the only way out was to get out of the underground node city... Thinking of this, Sefer found a topic.

"Oh, I was just trapped in a vision so I'm not very clear. How many hours until dawn?"

"Two hours, we have to speed up."

"That……"

Shengnai's voice was calm, and even his driving was steady. "I'm not very clear about the battle. As soon as the medical vehicle arrived at the city gate, we dispersed into the city to search for the wounded."

You looked as if you had sprinted straight to the vision door, waiting for me.

But was it really for him? If he said it out loud, she might think he was being sentimental. It wouldn't be a good idea to have an antagonistic relationship with a field doctor.

Sefer pretended to be seriously injured and unable to move temporarily. He glanced outside and saw that there were indeed traces of people and vehicles moving around in the city. They were all wearing uniform and brightly colored clothes.

This is so that people can see them immediately and they don’t have to worry about being targeted by people with ulterior motives.

"Don't worry about the medical team. We've been traveling in the desert for so long, we're familiar with many things... By the way, when I came in just now, your car didn't seem to be in good condition."

"what?"

The heart that had just been relieved was immediately lifted up. Sefer turned over with difficulty. With only his two arms able to move, he lay in the truck bed. The metal head that was twisted due to the melting looked particularly hideous.

Then, Shengnai took out his hand and put a paper bag over Sefer's head, and even dug two holes in the paper bag.

Well prepared!

The tricycle rushed towards the entrance that was slanting upwards, bringing with it smoke and dust. Faintly, Seifer heard the not-so-clear sound of gunfire, and even the white noise in the communication finally had some valuable noise.

Soon, he received various orders from command units in various parts of the node city, including the expansion of the defense circle.

They've actually counterattacked? Were those strange missiles he'd temporarily captured, and those long-range support vehicles and mobile bases he'd shot down, truly any use?

He had no idea that he had paralyzed the vehicle of the person in charge of a region, just as that person had never thought that a mercenary who disappeared from the map could actually walk from the south to the north and come out from behind him.

It's a case of good luck meeting bad luck.

The multi-dimensional encirclement, which was not very complete to begin with, had a large command point and rear support line severely eroded. The panicked mercenaries in the front row were even more defeated after fleeing.

After weighing the income, the remaining people chose to retreat. In the end, the only ones left at the front were those mercenaries who would be in big trouble if they failed to complete the mission.

But the armored combat at night was already over. After the two sides fought to this point, they had to take a truce for the rest of the time to repair and patch up the already riddled vehicles.

The situation was unprecedentedly chaotic, but it was still developing in a positive direction. Cypher didn't care about it because he saw his own car. Strictly speaking, it wasn't his yet, just someone 'loaned' it to him. However, even such a new car had a large hole torn in its side armor.

“I just picked up a new car!”

He shouted this subconsciously, and Sefer became furious!

Tien's voice, having just finished giving orders to his men, came over the comms: "Hey! You're back? How's the situation in the city? I see the medical vehicle has gone down, so everything should be alright, right?"

"I didn't hear any communication. I dealt with two strange machines and came back. I guess the city management..."

"It's probably all gone, ha! They didn't believe me and thought the city was safer than outside. They deserve it!"

Tien laughed a few times. "Hurry up! If you don't finish it by the time the sun comes up, everyone will turn into worm meat in the oven!"

Cypher: "Your side?"

"Nothing much, just a few nicks on the car, and a few guys are dead. We'll probably have them fixed before daybreak, but your car just took a hit and stalled. Go check it out."

As he spoke, Sheng Nai had already escorted him to the Silent Base, and then said apologetically: "I really want to escort you to the base, but..."

"I know, this body is too heavy."

Seifer unbuckled his safety buckle, got out of the car, and manipulated the vehicle to open the hatch.

The noise from the mechanism's operation is not loud, and the overall damage to the vehicle should be just that.

"Anyway, thank you. Are you going to help others next?"

"Yes, there are too many injured people. We can't just leave them alone."

This is what is meant by a doctor's compassionate heart. Sefer nodded with emotion, and after watching her drive away on her tricycle with dust in her wake, he turned around and saw Dr. Mei standing on the steps.

She looked quite mysterious with the light from the car shining on her.

"Why do you have a paper bag over your head?"

Cypher pulled himself up the stairs one-handed, grasping Griphook and standing.

"The first thing to question is the paper bag... Dr. Mei, is everything okay in the car?"

"Well... not very good. Wait here for a moment."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left. Seifer could only drag his broken body into the car. The moment he closed the hatch, he wanted to take a deep breath and relax.

Unfortunately, the mechanical body does not have this function.

Soon, Dr. Mei came running over in a chair with four mechanical legs that could only accommodate one person.

"Lend it to you for a while, and return it to me later."

Sitting on it and feeling it clearly, Dr. Mei said coldly: "Your only crew member was lost in the battle just now. My condolences."

It seems that Lin Shenxue has remained silent until now because she was right in the path of the shell that penetrated the vehicle?!

Cypher let out an "Ah..." and Dr. Mei leaned against the wall of the warehouse with his arms folded. "So, where are the people on my research team? Did you see them in the city?"

"They may have sought refuge in enclosed areas."

"Oh, what a pity."

The answer was different from what was expected. Dr. Mei turned around and left calmly and naturally, ending the conversation.

As for Cypher, he gripped the chair tightly with both hands and directed it to rush towards the main control section.
