As she spoke, Myrtle casually selected a spot that looked deserted from her scanned view.

A faint, almost imperceptible smile crept onto Su Rui's lips, which he quickly concealed.

Moreover, Suri kindly inquired:

"Do I need to remind you again? Are there any other additional attributes associated with the location you chose?"

Suri's tone was casual, as if they were having a normal chat, so Myrtle didn't become wary and simply waved her hand:

"No need. If there are things you don't know, you can treat them as surprises."

As she spoke, Myrtle reached out and picked up the juice in front of her, drinking it all in one gulp. Then she looked at Suri and tried to reach out to help him up.

"Wait a minute, don't pull me up too hard. I've eaten too much and I might throw up."

As Suri spoke, she reached out and grabbed Myrtle's wrist, then slowly stood up, pressing down on the chair.

"I just finished eating and don't want to move around too much, how about we walk a short distance like this?"

As Myrtle spoke, she moved closer to Su Rui, put her arm around Su Rui's arm, and began to stroll with Su Rui on the street leading to the other side of the city.

Hongxue, having eaten less, moved nimbly from a high vantage point, following at a distance.

Volume 8, Chapter 515: Hongxue Biting Her Handkerchief

Myrtle thought it best to spend some quality time with Suri on the nearly deserted streets, and then use this opportunity to bring the two of them closer during this ambiguous period.

At least at the beginning, Myrtle's progress was going well. Suri walked with her on the empty streets. Now, because of the summer festival, the Dulins were mostly gathered around the large pool, and there were hardly any people on the streets.

Suri and Myrtle strolled around the streets a few times, only occasionally encountering one or two Dulins who were swaying back and forth with wine glasses in their hands, seemingly either going home to get something or lost.

However, this was exactly what Su Rui and Myrtle wanted.

"It feels really nice to shop here~ It's so quiet, like we're the only people in the world."

Suri nodded. Compared to the lively celebration at the large pool on the other side, this place was indeed very quiet, which subconsciously calmed people down.

Myrtle reached out and grasped Su Rui's wrist, and Su Rui also grasped Myrtle's wrist, pulling her into his arms, feeling the girl's soft body, and gently sniffing her hair.

"Is it an orange-scented shampoo?"

“Yeah... Suri, this is a public place.”

Myrtle nestled shyly in Su Rui's arms, but didn't break free. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she glanced at Su Rui with a slightly embarrassed look in her eyes.

"Although it's a public place, there's no one here, so it's not much different from a private place, right?"

No, that's not true. In fact, Hongxue was hiding not far away, watching the interaction between Su Rui and Tao Jinniang, and could even hear their conversation.

Damn it, if she wasn't worried that throwing stones now might reveal her location and that she had been spying on him, Hongxue would have secretly taken revenge on Su Rui.

He was so happy holding her in his arms before, but now he's getting all affectionate with Myrtle without any hesitation.

Hongxue angrily took out a handkerchief from her pocket, biting it as if it were Su Rui herself, and wanted to tear it to shreds.

Suddenly, Hongxue's ears twitched, and she turned her head to look in the direction Su Rui and Tao Jinniang were about to head. A smug smile crept onto her lips as she silently watched Su Rui and Tao Jinniang.

However, although Hongxue was gloating, she still took out her heavy crossbow from behind her back and aimed it at the position in front of Su Rui and Tao Jinniang.

Suri had already seen what was happening with her scanning vision, and she deliberately slowed down her pace while holding onto Myrtle.

However, this speed wasn't slow at all. Soon, Myrtle began to hear some commotion in the street ahead, which sounded like...

"Suri~ I think I heard fighting up ahead. Could it be another one of the designers' plans?"

Myrtle turned her head and looked at Su Rui with a puzzled expression, asking with some concern.

"Hmm, but we don't need to get involved this time."

Suri reached out and pulled Myrtle toward the edge of the street: "Someone has already come to handle this matter. All we have to do is stay out of their sight, watch the show, and not get caught."

"Is it the anaconda and Gavial?" Myrtle immediately thought of the anaconda after hearing Suri's words.

Suri nodded: "That's right."

Just as Su Rui finished speaking, a huge sound exploded in Su Rui and Myrtle's ears.

A massive mech crashed through a roller shutter door and onto the street, its speakers blasting loud music as it swung its chainsaw sword, slicing every drone that came its way into tiny fragments.

The drones themselves don't have much combat capability, but the weapons they use are stun guns. Although they seem to be the kind of stun guns used only to capture people and temporarily incapacitate them, if there are enough of them, it seems that they can still be effective against the mech.

Myrtle and Suri hid behind a shelf on the edge of the street, watching the anaconda drive the Great Ugly and swing its chainsaw sword like it was swatting flies with an electric mosquito swatter.

"That's a serpent, Su Rui. Didn't you say there was no one here?" Myrtle whispered in Su Rui's ear as she lay on his back.

“I can’t predict everything that will happen. The scan you see is in real time, and there really weren’t many people here at the time.”

Suri shrugged and looked at the anaconda not far away, which was destroying drones with Gavial. It seemed that the two of them were having a good time.

However, while the anaconda and Gavial were wreaking havoc, a girl named Dulin, holding a data tablet, was jumping up and down in dissatisfaction:

"What are you doing? I'm doing this to save the city! The Originium mine is spreading; I'm going to stun everyone and send them out!"

But the anaconda and Gavial remained unmoved:

“We were commissioned by the city to stop you. The city doesn’t need your help. There will be an evacuation plan later, not now.”

"By the time those slowpokes make their decision, the Originium mines might have already surrounded our city! You all need to stop right now!"

The Dulin girl jumped up and down, trying to punch the anaconda's mech, but it was no use. The anaconda simply pushed her aside with its mech and continued clearing the drones.

"Now you're making things worse, designer, stop causing trouble."

After dealing with the group, Gavial reached out and grabbed the girl from Dulin by the back of her collar, lifting her up like a kitten.

"I know you're controlling those drones with the terminal. Make them stop right now!"

While speaking, Gavial also swung his chainsaw axe, smashing the drones that approached him.

But the Dulin girl wasn't afraid of the chainsaw axe in her hand at all; instead, she stood with her hands on her hips, glaring menacingly at Gavial.

"So what? I'm not stopping. I'm getting all the other production lines up and running. Let's get started now!"

As she spoke, the girl from Dulin tapped the data board a few times, and Gavial quickly snatched the data board from her hand.

But the girl from Dulin, standing to the side, wore a smug smile:

"Hmph~ I've already started all the production lines! You can't shut them down!"

Gavial tapped the data board in frustration, but to no avail. Somewhat annoyed, she threw the data board aside, intending to scare the Dulin girl, but the girl was not afraid of her axe.

Volume 8, Chapter 516: Hidden Camera

"I never expected to see such a scene here. Back in Rhodes Island, many patients and injured operators were afraid of Gavial."

Seeing Gavial's frustrated and helpless expression, Myrtle couldn't help but smirk as she watched the girl from Dulin.

"After all, they're not afraid of her axe or her strength."

Suri shrugged, then reached out and pulled Myrtle back: "Alright, don't get so engrossed in watching, or we'll all be discovered."

"Uh-huh."

Myrtle nodded, glanced around, and suddenly her eyes lit up. She then pointed to a high place:

"Su Rui, look, the view from that spot is great, we can continue spying from there!"

In fact, the location that Myrtle was pointing to was where Hongxue was. When she stretched out her finger to point to that location, Hongxue had already realized that something was wrong and began to prepare to move.

Upon noticing this, Suri couldn't help but smile happily: "Great, the view from there is excellent, and it's not easy to be spotted."

As Suri and Myrtle moved to a higher position, Hongxue also found a better spot to peek, where she could see Myrtle and Suri, as well as the Anaconda and Gavial.

The anacondas and their companions were caught in a fierce battle:

"There are so many drones! Where are her production lines located?"

"We can only search along the direction they came from, little by little. If Suri were here, we could find the production lines directly and then destroy these drones one by one."

"Stop thinking about your Su Rui, hurry up and help. I don't know about other places, but first of all, there's definitely a production line in front of us!"

Gavial charged out, brandishing his chainsaw axe.

Myrtle watched the movie-like fight scene with Suri from a secluded corner, while sharing drinks and snacks with her.

However, as she ate, Myrtle's attention drifted away from the food in her hands.

She started to get closer to Suri, even though she and Suri didn't have social distance to begin with.

"Myrtle, we're still watching a movie!"

Suri put her drink aside, almost spilling it because of Myrtle's earlier movement.

"It won't interfere with our movie viewing, and we can even grab a drink in the meantime."

As Myrtle spoke, she silenced Su Rui's lips with a kiss and pressed Su Rui down onto the cold ground.

This made Hongxue, who was hiding on a high place, grit her teeth. Didn't these two people know the occasion?

Across the street, a super exciting battle between mechs, chainsaw axes, and drones was unfolding, and Suri and Myrtle actually had the mind to hug and kiss each other!

What's even more infuriating is that she can only watch from here, which makes Hongxue so angry that she takes out her handkerchief again and bites it.

Meanwhile, with the background noise of the anaconda and Gavial constantly hacking at the drones not far away, Suri and Myrtle gradually became engrossed in each other, going from hugging and kissing each other to climbing the mountain together.

At this moment, the anaconda and her team had already cleared out one production line. The young designer was so angry that she stomped her feet and was immediately grabbed and taken away by the other staff. Now, all that was left was for the anaconda and her team to dispose of all the production lines.

Even after being captured, the young designer refused to say anything, leaving the anaconda and Gavial to slowly dispose of the drones.

This gave Suri and Myrtle plenty of time to be intimate, and under the cover of background noise, they engaged in increasingly intense duo games.

Myrtle suddenly exclaimed, "Wait a minute, Suri! Don't pick me up, we might get caught!"

"What's there to be afraid of? Don't worry, I've been watching over there the whole time, I definitely won't be discovered."

As Suri spoke, he picked up Myrtle and they climbed the mountain together, watching the anaconda and Gavial hacking at the drone.

Watching the intimate interaction between Su Rui and Myrtle from a higher vantage point, Hong Xue was angry, but she couldn't help but take out her phone from her pocket, wanting to record the scene before her.

For some reason, Hongxue felt that these images were very precious, so she thought she could enjoy the footage she had recorded today later.

Gavial suddenly cheered, "Great! There aren't many production lines left!"

Gavial's voice made Myrtle, who was in Suri's arms, tremble slightly. Fearing being discovered, she became nervous and instinctively hugged Suri tighter.

"Suri, can I turn around? I don't want to look anymore~ It's a little scary, I don't want to make eye contact with the anacondas~"

Myrtle begged Su Rui for mercy, but considering that Hong Xue was still filming behind them, Su Rui only curled the corner of his mouth and did not do as Myrtle asked. Instead, he lowered his head and whispered in her ear:

"Don't worry, everything will be alright. I promise you, I'll do you a favor later, okay?"

Myrtle's eyelashes trembled, and she leaned back, her cheek pressed against Suri's. Her voice was panicked, yet she didn't forget to try and secure more benefits for herself:

"If we are discovered, I have three conditions."

"Okay, no problem, I agree."

Su Rui nodded, and Hong Xue, who was high up behind her, also heard all of this conversation. She couldn't help but twitch her ears.

Since Suri can offer Myrtle one condition, or even three, he should be able to give himself the same treatment.

As the duo match between Suri and Myrtle intensified, the competition reached a fever pitch. Of course, it wasn't just the contest between Suri and Myrtle; the progress of the attack production line by Anaconda and Gavial in the distance had also reached its final stage.

The anacondas and Gavial are now attacking the last production line guarded by drones.

"Suri, be careful! Can we get out of the way? I have a feeling we might fall!"

As she spoke, Myrtle instinctively reached out and wrapped her arms around Su Rui's neck.

"Okay, I understand. Let's step back a little."

Following Myrtle's instructions, Suri took a few steps back, and then, when she saw the anaconda and Gavial hacking away at the last production line, they hid behind the concrete fence so that the anaconda and Gavial couldn't see them.

A moment later, Myrtle, having drunk her fill of warm milk, still refused to get up, nestled in Suri's arms and pleaded:

"Just show me the scanned field of view, okay?"

“Sure, no problem.” Su Rui glanced in the direction where Hong Xue had already slipped away and nodded.

Volume 8, Chapter 517: Taking a Different Approach

Suri and Myrtle hid behind the concrete fence, feeling the warmth and security of the moment. Suri then activated her scanning vision.
