From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Whoosh-whoosh-!

The sound of the arrow breaking through the air echoed throughout the underground garage.

"what!"

"my hand!"

The noise that followed was the soldiers' screams and cries of pain.

The three soldiers standing at the front, ready to shoot at Allen, had their right palms pierced directly by tracking arrows.

The guns in their hands fell to the ground and could no longer pose any threat to Allen in the short term.

! !

"what's the situation?!"

"There are enemies hiding in the dark!"

The sudden attack immediately caused the already frightened human soldiers and civilians to panic.

Allen took this opportunity to pick up the Gauss rifle hanging on his side.

At the same time, Xiaoqiang, who was standing on a scrapped van, removed the optical camouflage of his combat uniform and aimed three re-strung arrows at the soldiers and civilians.

However, Xiaoqiang simply loosened his right hand, allowing the arrow to fly out again.

Bang~bang~!

And in the next second, all the arrows exploded one after another, forming three hunting nets, wrapping up the confused people.

As the hunting net shrank rapidly, the soldiers and civilians were completely restrained.

"Ah! You guys are just machines in human skins!!"

A soldier whose palm was pierced by an arrow cursed angrily while enduring the pain.

Xiaoqiang was too lazy to respond. He was only thinking about how to ensure the lives of his compatriots and obtain information as quickly as possible. As for whether they were injured, it was not within his consideration.

As long as you are alive, that's all.

Even if the soldiers who were attacked by him were resentful, any resentment would surely disappear after they received comprehensive treatment from the Biological Department and had a safe and comfortable living environment.

“We are human beings.”

At this time, Allen stepped forward, half-crouched, and explained to a soldier in the hunting net:

“Those outside are the machines that are slaughtering our compatriots. Fighting among ourselves here will only allow the machines and the forces behind them to reap the benefits.

And! If our guys hadn't been holding you back from the outside, you would have been shot dead long ago."

Alan said, spreading his arms lightly: "If we are really machines in human skin, do you think we can still have a good chat here?

Time is of the essence, I just want to know who you are, who these machines are out there, and how we can help."

"Oh! You thought we would."

"I told you, time is running out." Allen interrupted the other party's stubborn words and continued:

"Only by providing effective intelligence can you resolve your current predicament. You don't want your friends and comrades to die at the hands of those machines out there, do you?"

Da da da!

As Allen spoke, the battle that broke out around the ruins of the mall intensified.

There were even two metal skeletons that passed through the fire blocking of AECS and David and others and came to the entrance to the underground garage.

Fortunately, Xiaoqiang knew the movements of the two metal skeletons through the helmet screen and the reminder of AECS, and arrived at the entrance in advance.

The moment Xiaoqiang caught them with his visual vision, he shot another two arrows at them.

"."

Seeing Xiaoqiang shooting them with bows and arrows, the two metal skeletons moved their jaws.

It could be a meaningless move, or it could be that they possess a certain degree of “wisdom” and seem to be “mocking” us?

However.

Ri——Boom! Boom!!!

However, the moment the two arrows hit their metal ribs, a fleeting blue light burst out, followed by the release of high-temperature, high-energy plasma.

With just two arrows, the two metal skeletons were melted and destroyed, and their metal jaws were completely unable to move.

You have to know that the advance team is treated very well within Atlas. How could the compound bows and corresponding arrows provided by the Research Department to Xiaoqiang and others be regular goods?

So in Yu Xiaoqiang's eyes, getting rid of the metal skeleton was an easy task.

Seeing this, the human soldier who had been stubborn before showed a conflicted look on his face, and after thinking for a moment, he finally spoke:

"We are the western branch of the human resistance army, and those outside are all puppets of Skynet."

At this point, the soldier looked at Allen suspiciously, and said in an increasingly excited tone:

"Are you really human? Don't you know about Skynet, the Resistance, and Judgment Day? It's Skynet that has brought us humans to this state!

The fucking artificial intelligence has gained self-awareness and wants to destroy all humans and become the master of the earth!"

Skynet?

Hearing this, Allen stood up and used his holographic glasses to upload what the soldiers said to the front-line base.

Then, when he was about to ask Xiaoqiang what to do next, a shrill cry came from the intercom of the soldier in front of him:

"This is Squad 13. We can't hold on here! But the civilians...! Squawk."

Before the person on the other end of the intercom could finish speaking, there was only a shrill busy tone.

! !

But the soldier who heard the content became even more excited, and seemed to want to take off the walkie-talkie hanging on his shoulder, but he was restrained by the hunting net and could not move. He looked up at Allen and said hurriedly:

"Team 13 is responsible for protecting a group of children! We resistance fighters can die, but the children...

Since you are also human beings, and you have more advanced weapons than us, can you rescue those children?"

Allen did not respond to the soldier, but glanced at the screen showing "Estimated time for support to arrive: 10 minutes", and then said to Xiaoqiang who was standing at the entrance:

"Lieutenant, please approve my temporary leave of absence."

?

Hearing this, Xiao Qiang turned his head and looked at Allen, as if asking silently, "Why are you leaving the team?"

"call"

Allen took a deep breath and explained:

"The team's firepower alone is not enough to deal with the group of machines outside, but it is more than enough to hold out until the support arrives.

Those kids didn’t have ten minutes.”

As Allen spoke, he freed his left hand to reach for the storage bag at his lower back and took out a bottle of light green medicine.

He then aimed it directly at the inside of his forearm and completed the injection.

Soon, Alan's veins began to pop and his pupils began to flash a light blue.

Temporary Compound No. 5.

As a backbone of the company, Xiaoqiang, who is familiar with many confidential documents, naturally knows that the drug Alan injected into himself is a temporary No. 5 compound improved by the Biological Department, which can allow the injector to gain super-human abilities in a short period of time.

But the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, each use will cause irreversible damage to the injector. If it is used more than ten times, there is a risk of direct death.

Seeing that Alan chose to inject temporary compound No. 5, Xiaoqiang nodded slightly and gave approval for leaving the team.

then.

After recovering from his shock, Alan stretched his neck and shoulders, making crisp "click, click" sounds, and said to the soldier:

"Where is Team 13?"

Although the soldier didn't know what was going on, he still replied:

"An abandoned elementary school 300 meters west. Please."

"it is good."

After receiving the information, Alan ran out of the underground garage at an extremely fast speed and returned to the outskirts of the abandoned shopping mall.

Just look at the low building where AECS, David, Lucy and the synths are located, which is under fierce attack from the machine army.

Fortunately, AECS’s firepower is equally fierce and it has sufficient ammunition, so there is no need to worry about anything in the short term.

Look west again

Several unmanned aerial vehicles are bombarding an abandoned primary school.

So, Allen took off his holographic glasses and focused his eyes on one of the aircraft, then.

Ri~——咻——! !

Two laser beams emitting blue light suddenly cut through the sky and pierced through the aircraft.
