Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 159 Request for Assembly!

The hovercar, trailing a bright flame, sped past the hunter squad and headed back in the direction they had come from.

The hunters looked at each other in bewilderment.

The people at the signal station were just moments ago dismissive and refused to help rescue Captain Mark. What happened to make them change their attitude so drastically?

It seems like nothing much, except that Vatican mentioned Bai Yuetian's name.

White Moonlight —

Upon hearing the name, the mysterious ground beings pressed for details before hastily setting off without speaking to them again.

"He was truly protected by the Lord of Light and Shadow."

"Vatican murmured."

The reason she mentioned Bai Yuetian's name earlier was without any objective reason; she simply felt that if Bai Yuetian had truly gained the favor of the Lord of Light and Shadow, then the Lord of Light and Shadow would surely respond in a life-or-death situation!

If Bai Yuetian returns alive, it will definitively prove that he is blessed by the gods!

The hunters hesitated.

Given Bai Yuetian's situation, without rescue, facing the mutated Devouring Beasts and the ever-reinforcing Pan-Devouring Beasts with just a few people, it's practically certain death.

But a miracle happened.

Not only was there a rescue, but it was also an aerial rescue, and the rescue was brought by Vatican speaking Bai Yuetian's name.

"Could there really be a Lord of Light and Shadow?" someone whispered.

Were the hunters who died in battle before not protected by the Lord of Light and Shadow because they were not devout enough to him?

As hunters of the wilderness, they have long been exposed to countless dangers on the ground, including Devouring Beasts and Old World traps. They are used to sudden death and their faith in the Lord of Light and Shadow is very vague.

Not devout enough, therefore they will not receive protection.

That makes sense.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, the fact that the Lighthouse uses light and shadow to replace the law enforcement department can't be decided by self-interest, right? Maybe there really is a Lord of Light and Shadow!

I heard that the head of the association, Charles, has personally seen the Lord of Light and Shadow.

"The Lord of Light and Shadow naturally exists!" Vatican sneered.

"The hunters' faith in the Lord of Light and Shadow is not strong enough, which is why they suffer heavy casualties every time they go down to the ground. I think it's time for you to reflect on this!"

The hunters' expressions shifted between anger and uncertainty.

At that moment, Ran Bing's voice came through the communication channel: "Lord He Guangzhe, you are not one of us, how do you know that our faith in the Lord of Light and Shadow is not firm enough?"

"Furthermore, most of the supplies that the hunters risked their lives to bring back for the Lighthouse were supplied to other departments."

Ran Bing said methodically, "The heavy losses suffered by the Wilderness Hunters are not good for anyone. Could it be that some people who are closer to the Lord of Light and Shadow did something wrong and angered the Lord of Light and Shadow, which affected the Wilderness Hunters?"

The hunters' expressions softened somewhat.

Yes!

We hunters are the most dangerous profession in the Lighthouse, supporting all the followers of the Lord of Light and Shadow. Although our faith in the Lord of Light and Shadow is not as devout as that of the followers of the Light and Shadow Society, it is not entirely nonexistent.

If there truly is a Lord of Light and Shadow, and the Lord of Light and Shadow does not protect us, then it is the Lord of Light and Shadow punishing the entire Lighthouse.

It was other believers who angered the Lord of Light and Shadow.

Let's leave it as it is.

"Then how do you explain why the people at the signal station were unwilling to rescue Mark, but immediately set off after hearing Bai Yuetian's name?" Vatican said coldly.

Ran Bing chuckled lightly: "Because they don't know Mark, but they do know Bai Yuetian. As for why they know each other, we'll have to wait until Bai Yuetian comes back to find out."

“Isn’t this also a blessing from the gods?” Vatican countered.

Ran Bing continued, "I didn't say this wasn't divine favor, but I just find it really baffling that you're asking us to reflect on our faith in the Lord of Light and Shadow."

Vatican sneered.

She retorted sharply, "Based on what you said to me, I know you are not devout to the Lord of Light and Shadow. Be careful when you go on missions. If the Hunter's lieutenant dies, it will have a significant impact."

Ran Bing did not respond further.

The reason she spoke up earlier was because Mark wasn't there, and she couldn't let Vanti disrupt the morale of the hunters.

If morale is low, it will be difficult to bring it back later.

Compared to the ethereal Lord of Light and Shadow, hunters should trust their teammates, weapons, and skills more. If they blindly believe in the Lord of Light and Shadow and neglect what is truly important, they may suffer heavy casualties in the future.

The airship bounced and swayed in the airflow.

There was no conversation, not even breathing, inside the car; only rows of eyes emitting white light.

This is a truckload of robots.

They bear the stamp of "Kuchuan Defense".

These are engineers from the Hisakawa Defense Corps. They built a signal station, and then stayed inside it after running out of energy.

Dragonbone Village resolved the beast tide crisis and arranged for people to replenish their energy, which restored their mobility.

If all goes well, they will leave one engineer at the signal station to perform maintenance, while the other robots will move on to the next location to build a new signal station.

As robots, they do not attract Devouring Beasts, and they will not malfunction as long as they do not get close to Devouring Beasts that possess special biomagnetic fields.

This allows them to move freely in densely populated ecological areas.

This is also why they prevent the hunter squad from getting close.

Human life essence attracts the Devouring Beasts, which eventually cause the Devouring Beasts to destroy the signal station, rendering their efforts futile.

But now, they no longer need to worry about the signal stations.

Because there are higher priority tasks.

Search and rescue suspected apocalyptic survivors from Baiyuetian!
As early as when Bai Yuetian had just mistakenly entered the apocalyptic spacetime, Bai Jingyu had sent a large number of robots into the apocalyptic spacetime. However, as soon as those robots landed, they were recruited by Bai Yuekui, and the mission to search for and rescue Bai Yuetian was canceled.

This brought the search and rescue operation to a standstill for a period of time, and it has only recently resumed.

"We've arrived near the target location!"

"Prepare for airdrop!"

"The hovercar is circling above the ground, waiting for the opportune moment to provide support!"

Click— The side doors of the hovercraft slid to the sides, revealing the ground below.

Hundreds of snake-dogs and thorny eels ran wildly on both sides of the rock wall, guarding the mountain-sized double-jawed beast and the molten Devourer.

Two gravity machines were engaged in a struggle with the massive creature, while gunshots echoed continuously from the bottom of the canyon—some were exceptionally fast and frequent, others were slow and muffled, and still others were neither fast nor slow.

White Moonlight, Mark, Erica, Flying Snow, Afu.

All five people are still persevering.

But they couldn't hold on much longer. Bai Yuetian's fuel was limited, and its mobility was rapidly declining. Mark was exhausted from fighting the Double-jawed Beast, and the other three were running out of ammunition quickly, like a small boat on a stormy sea.

However, this is not the worst-case scenario.

On its way to the airship, the robot captured images of the gathering of Devouring Beasts from the air.

The commotion here has already alerted the Devouring Beasts in other areas. Several mutated Devouring Beasts are leading their own species of phylogenetic Devouring Beasts toward this place, with the total number of Devouring Beasts of all sizes reaching several thousand.

"Airdrop!"

The robots stood up in unison.

The robots in the front row near the door turned around in unison and jumped out of the car in pairs.

Without taking any measures to slow down, they crashed into the herd of beasts like solid cannonballs, creating bursts of blood.

These robots are pure engineers sent out to build signal stations; they are nothing more than steel-clad soldiers.

The weapons and ammunition they brought with them to this time and space were all left in Dragonbone Village for the use of the villagers and soldier-type robots; they were not intended to carry out emergency rescue missions.

But Bai Yuetian might be here, so they have to come, even if they're empty-handed.

Because this is the highest priority task.

"White Moon Sky!"

A robot stood up and announced loudly through a megaphone: "We are the Jiuchuan Defense Corps, on orders from Mayor Bai Jingyu of Jiuchuan City to carry out a search and rescue mission. If you are here, please signal us immediately!"

The sound contained a hissing electrical crackling.

There are mutated Devouring Beasts on the battlefield, which affects the robots' functionality.

As the robot spoke, some robots sprinted toward the source of the gunshot, while others ran toward the two gravity bodies that were maneuvering around the large robot.

The Devouring Beasts did not react in any particular way.

They were simply puzzled by the sudden falling of rocks from the sky and did not attack the robots.

Bai Yuetian was completely absorbed in the battle against the mutated Devourer, so much so that he didn't even notice the robot parachuting down.

He only woke up with a start when he heard a sound.

what? !

He looked up sharply.

Several hovercrafts were suspended in the air not far away, their gray-black shells painted with the emblem of Hisakawa Defense, gleaming in the sunlight.

There were also many Hisakawa Defense Robots running around nearby.

Depend on!
Dad finally found me!

Bai Yuetian was overjoyed, thinking to himself that it had come at just the right time!
Just then, the mutated Devouring Beast slapped him.

Bai Yuetian activated the thrusters, but his fuel was exhausted, and only a few sparks were ejected.

Bai Yuetian's heart skipped a beat.

He raised the chainsaw sword and held it horizontally in front of him, and immediately felt an overwhelming force that was difficult to resist.

Bang! ! !
Bai Yuetian was sent flying.

He rolled several times on the ground, enduring the pain as he quickly got up. Then he heard a huge roar coming from afar, the sound making his chest feel tight.

A new big guy has arrived.

Bai Yuetian snapped out of her daze, not having time to think further.

"family!"

"I'm here!"

He mustered all his strength and shouted at the top of his lungs.

All the robots turned their heads at the same time, looking at Bai Yuetian, who was encased in a gravitational body.

Bai Yuetian opened her faceplate.

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

Beep!Beep!Beep!

The moment the White Moon Sky Armor rose, a dense barrage of notification sounds echoed across the battlefield.

"Target located!"

"Target confirmed!"

"Assembly notice has been sent to nearby units!"

The antenna on the distant signal station paused for a moment, then spun rapidly at several times its original speed, so fast that it left an afterimage on the human retina, like a violently flashing white ball of light.

The signal travels at the speed of light along the invisible network.

"Top-level mobilization order received!"

"Proceed to provide support!"

"Top-level mobilization order received!"

"Proceed to provide support!"

"Top-level mobilization order received!"

"Proceed to provide support!"
