Military Titan

Hearing this arguably insane bounty, every member of the Pilot Army nearby felt their eyes burn with fervor, their spirits stirred by greed.

For them, as long as they could capture the gold-haired girl, no matter who finally claimed the Sovereign Key of the Oasis, they would effectively achieve a leap in social class. They might even rely on their Oasis status to become high-level executives of mega-corporations in reality, securing a worry-free life for the rest of their days!

Xu Xiaoyou did not hesitate, immediately retreating behind the mesh wall with the four girls.

【Player ID 0E3604, you have entered Fire Street.】

The moment they stepped into the underground boundaries of Fire Street, the notification box appeared.

Countless Pilot Army forces followed Xu Xiaoyou, rushing into the area of Fire Street with loud shouts. Just as Nanjiamu thought the other side was merely struggling in a death throes, he noticed Chun Sanyue's face looking exceptionally grim. She was staring fixedly at the retreating back of the red-haired girl, biting her thumb so hard it nearly bled.

"Aren't you going in?" Nanjiamu asked.

"I can't," Chun Sanyue spat, turning her head away. "Fire Street only allows bionic humans of a single gender to exist within it at any given time. It is currently daytime, so only male bionics can conduct work there. Disciplinary officers are no exception."

Nanjiamu was dumbfounded; he had thought she was joking with him.

"This is a rule of the highest priority in the New Gospel Book. If I trigger it, Hera will not hesitate to fry my brain with an electrical current."

"How can there be such a bizarre rule? Why didn't you tell me just now?" Nanjiamu questioned her.

"Who are you asking? I just found out about this rule myself! I'm already annoyed enough. If you dare say one more word to me, I'll blow your head off with the Forbidden Twin Slayers, do you hear me?"

Chun Sanyue pulled out a pair of handguns engraved with black and white patterns from somewhere, pressing them fiercely against Nanjiamu's forehead. The latter flinched slightly, and as he recalled her previous words, he realized something and suddenly fell silent.

At the same time, looking at the members of the Pilot Army who were pursuing into Fire Street one after another, an ill omen began to rise in his heart.

The other side had been heading here with a clear purpose from the very beginning. It seemed they had long since realized he was using Chun Sanyue to track their position...

Once they entered Fire Street, it meant Chun Sanyue would lose her connection to the Hera Network in this area, thereby losing their real-time coordinates.

Nanjiamu cursed again in his heart.

The rules in the New Gospel Book were getting more and more ridiculous.

What on earth was wrong with Sky-Father!?

Calming himself briefly, Nanjiamu knew that the Pilot Army's morale was currently at its peak. The arrow had been fired; there was no way to take it back. Even if he had to turn Fire Street upside down, he would find Dark Gold Rose!

"Mechanical units above, advance on Fire Street immediately! Don't worry about the sin value, just open fire! I'll personally pay to help you clear the sin values afterward!"

Assault Hawk armed helicopters roared overhead, the sound of continuous explosions never ceasing. The district, which had only recently been rebuilt and was still in a state of revival, suffered under the devastation of artillery fire. Buildings that looked like heaps of scrap construction materials were blown up one by one. White light bloomed, and intense flames instantly swallowed the pedestrians on both sides of the road.

"Let's see what—wait, Vice President Nanjiamu has completely lost his mind! Does he not care about sin value at all? Am I seeing this right? The Pilot Army is carpet-bombing Fire Street, and the bionic citizens here haven't even been evacuated yet!" Ince shouted with an excited tone.

"Let's look at Light-Chaser Garden. They have reached the surface. The main force of the Pilot Army is still pursuing them. They seem to have nowhere left to run and are about to be cornered. Wait, they've turned into a small alleyway. How did they know there was an alleyway here?"

"My goodness, they've taken two disciplinary officers hostage! They can even play it like this?"

The screen showed the five members of Light-Chaser Garden. Cervantes was constantly providing the most optimal escape routes for the group. After winding through a section of an abandoned industrial zone, they quickly shook off half of the main force pursuing them, leaving only the other half sticking to them like a persistent plaster.

All the viewers were shocked by Xu Xiaoyou's maneuvers. At first, they didn't understand why Light-Chaser Garden would take two disciplinary officers while they fled, but only now did they realize her intention.

"Even this works?"

"I have to say, as expected of the great Dark Gold Rose. She always thinks of angles common people wouldn't!"

"Even though I don't know what she's doing, her methods are always the wildest and most creative!"

The dense bullet screen flew past quickly. The emotions of the audience were now tuned to a high point, with many people staring unblinkingly at the screen, afraid of missing any subsequent frame.

"I think I understand what they're actually trying to do!" Ince's tone rose, but he deliberately paused, keeping everyone in suspense.

Seeing the targets duck into an alley in the abandoned industrial zone, Nanjiamu, sitting in the rear, decisively deployed all self-destruct drones and armed helicopters to conduct a carpet-bombing of the area. Countless black dragonfly light transport aircraft deployed fast-ropes from below. Special operations team members in exoskeleton combat armor landed on high points, assembling firearms and setting up defensive lines.

The five below continued running when suddenly, Angelina's hair stood on end. Her pupils narrowed into slits and her ears perked up.

She instinctively looked toward a nearby abandoned building.

In the next moment, the rust-covered metal walls ruptured. Flames surged out like wild snakes, and glass shattered completely, melting instantly. A violent wind poured in, and a blazing stream of golden fire flashed briefly before vanishing, revealing a pair of glowing red mechanical eyes within the billowing smoke.

It was a military titan!

This steel beast crashed through the building, roaring as it tore apart the cage that confined it. Its crimson gaze stared fixedly at the girls running below. With the popularization of unmanned technology, titans no longer required any pilot. Aside from their high cost, nothing could stop these ultimate weapons born for war from rampaging on the battlefield!

The steel storm formed by armor-piercing rounds could easily tear even a divine endowment to shreds!

Several Vulcan heavy machine guns emerged from the military titan's back, auto-locking and beginning to spin. Their rotation accelerated until the muzzles turned glowing red, and a fire net of torn metal erupted, sweeping violently toward the group!

"Watch out, don't get hit!" Xu Xiaoyou warned in a low voice.

Angelina reacted, darting toward the flank. She scooped up Tang Xin, who was slightly slower, and began to bolt. Amidst the ruins, cold and sharp silver lightning flashed for an instant, leaving the bullets trailing behind her!

"Please draw this guy's aggro!" Angelina shouted at Bai Youyou.

Bai Youyou understood. She raised her heavy hammer and smashed it into the ground, flipping up a massive rock. With a horizontal swing of her hammer, the boulder roared toward the military titan like a cannonball.

The titan's eyes flashed with red light. White steam hissed from its body, and the thick spring mechanisms on its mechanical arms retracted rapidly. It threw a heavy punch, shattering the incoming rock into powder.

Immediately after, the military titan lowered its posture slightly and stomped twice, like a sumo wrestler about to pounce on its prey. The micro-cold nuclear reactor in its chest lit up, and the engines in its legs rose and fell rapidly like pile drivers. Blue flames were compressed to the limit in the air chambers and then exploded outward, venting from every gap in its armor!

The military titan suddenly transformed into a roaring meteor, hurtling toward Bai Youyou's direction. It accelerated at high speed, the sonic boom shattering the buildings on both sides as it destroyed everything in its path!
