Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 253 Forward! Forward! Forward!

Millions of people surged out at the same time, and several main roads leading out of Jiuchuan were completely blocked. People in the traffic were swept along, moving slowly and laboriously. In some places, accidents caused complete blockages, and people behind could neither move forward nor backward.

"Hurry up and get out of here! Stay in the city and wait to die!"

"Anyone who dares to cut in line, I'll beat them to death!"

"Hurry up and get out of the city!"

"Don't block the way if you're not moving!"

"Robot Sir, this guy cut in line!"

"."

Chaos was everywhere.

However, with a large number of robot police patrolling the streets and in the air, no outlaws have yet committed murder and robbery.

All residents of Hisakawa City have had brain chips implanted that are connected to ASH. ASH scores each person's behavior in real time, and the scores are linked to citizen welfare mechanisms, serving as a more humane disciplinary measure to maintain order.

"You can't fight city hall. If you ask me, Mayor Bai would have been better off selling ASH to the Hela Empire sooner, and things wouldn't have come to this."

In a slow-moving traffic flow, drivers opened their car windows and chatted.

Another driver chimed in, "ASH is indeed powerful. It's just that Jiuchuan is too small. If Jiuchuan were as big as Heluo, ASH could definitely crush Hela. After all, ASH's side only has unmanned machines, while the main force of the Hela Empire is still living people."

Just then, a vendor's cart passed by: "Sunflower seeds, cigarettes, mineral water, beer, peanuts, apple pie!"

The driver laughed and scolded, "You've got a head for business, buddy, coming all the way here."

The vendor walked past without looking back.

He can tell at a glance whether someone is a customer or not.

"I don't know what the final outcome will be. I hope Mayor Bai can win, but it's unlikely that Mayor Bai can win," a white-haired driver said with a sigh.

"It's a pity about my house."

"I just finished paying off my mortgage and this happened."

After countless hardships, I finally paid off the mortgage for the next thirty years, ending my days of financial hardship. I thought I could finally relax for the rest of my life, but...
“It’s nothing, right?” another driver said. “If the house gets vandalized, you can apply for compensation from the city council, and the money will arrive very quickly.”

"It's not as simple as you think," the white-haired driver replied. "If it gets smashed, you'll only have to pay the market price. All the effort you've put into running this property is worthless, and it might not even get smashed."

"The worst thing is that the property price drops because of some other random reason, even if it wasn't smashed." The city council won't compensate for that.

The drivers looked disheartened.

Jiuchuan has a good economic level and housing prices are well controlled. Almost everyone owns at least one property, either paid for in full or currently paying off a loan.

But in any case, nothing good is likely to come next.

If you're lucky, the house was damaged by falling metal debris, and the city council took it back and compensated you for the damage.

Those who were unlucky didn't have a problem with housing prices themselves, but because of this war, housing prices plummeted, and everyone who owned a house became a bitter wretch.

"what is that?"

"Why is it all alone? Just that one?"

Suddenly, a driver noticed a star rising in the sky.

The star flew upwards, emitting a soft, captivating light.

"Another unmanned combat aircraft, I suppose." The other drivers didn't think much of it.

It's just an unmanned combat aircraft, isn't it?

They all witnessed ASH launching its drones from the shelter; tens of thousands of Swift drones took to the air one after another—it was truly spectacular.

This lone aircraft was probably going to fill a gap somewhere. The drivers shifted their attention and continued their previous discussion.

"Where are you talking about?"

Kolova sat in the driver's seat.

She had ridden in a Swift with Bai Yuekui before, but the Swift in the village was more advanced than this one, and she had never sat in the driver's seat.

"Kolova, are you ready?" Ash asked.

Kolova looked down at the thing hanging around her neck, a black cube about the size of a fist.

This block has two functions.

The first function is explosion.

Explosions are art. This bomb looks ordinary, but it is actually a small nuclear bomb.

The explosion occurred in a critical location and could destroy part of Loki's structure, preventing Loki from emitting neutron plumes.

This is also the primary goal.

If the landing deviates from the target location, then the second function of this black cube is used: signal intrusion.

Loki's communication system is completely closed to outsiders.

ASH wants to wage an AI war against SITA, but SITA has hidden its tail very well.

ASH occasionally wrests control of one or two thousand drones from SITA, but this poses no threat to SITA itself, nor does it affect Loki. It is of little use and is quickly taken back by SITA.

There is a big problem here. The main venue for the ASH Internet of Everything is Jiuchuan. Space is too far away from Jiuchuan. The computing power that ASH can transmit to space is far less than that on the ground. Moreover, the Swift at the forefront is also quite a distance away from Loki.

If this black cube can be placed inside Loki, ASH will have a signal base station located deep within enemy territory, allowing signals to be directly inserted into Loki's interior.

As long as the Hela Empire doesn't discover them immediately, Ash has a good chance of controlling the entire planet Loki.

At that time, not only will they be able to stop the Hela Empire from launching neutron nuclear plumes, but they will also be able to capture an entire Loki planet, giving Hisakawa a space base in the future.

Kolova took a deep breath: "I'm ready."

With the boss away, she wanted to protect the old home for him and let him know that they had grown up and could stand on their own.

"I'm piloting the Swifts fleet. We can get to about 1,500 meters outside of Loki. For the remaining 1,500 meters, you'll have to rely on inertia to move forward, staying in a liquid state the whole time, and bring what I gave you to Loki."

ASH and Kollova checked the plan.

Kolova nodded slightly: "I understand."

After testing, her source potential underwent a further transformation at the critical moment of life and death.

Now she can not only turn any part of her body into liquid, but the liquid she turns into can also shield electromagnetic waves and other beyond-line-of-sight detection methods. She is simply born for this kind of destructive mission.

"I'm counting on you," Ash said solemnly.

The Swift broke through the atmosphere and entered the space battlefield. Kolova got up and went to the hatch to wait for launch.

Inside Loki, an observer looked at the radar and shouted, "ASH is back!"

Prior to this, ASH had attempted to break through the defenses several times.

From a bird's-eye view of the entire space battlefield, the Swift drones, which were originally evenly distributed in space, began to converge on a single point, spinning like drills and piercing into the drone swarm protecting Loki.

A cone-shaped area of ​​flashing lights appeared on the radar.

The cone pierced the tight defensive formation of the drone swarm inch by inch, and the drone swarm became more and more solid under the piercing of the cone, and the lights symbolizing the friendly forces almost formed a solid wall on the radar.
