Watching Kanako’s grim expression, Huang Feng’s face also underwent various changes.
"Did I cause you trouble?" Huang Feng’s gaze shifted to the chip on the table, and she extended her hand, "That idiot pointed a gun at me, then turned to look at Jialong Slope, exclaimed ’My god,’ and then said ’What a beautiful city, let’s go on a date,’ and I believed him."
"Indeed, you should enjoy life," Kanako said as she set up defenses.
"Had I known it’d be this troublesome, I might as well have blown my own brains out. I fought for my life several times with only a shotgun at my side." Huang Feng murmured.
"Hold on a little longer, life is very precious," Kanako said, taking Huang Feng’s hand.
"What’s so precious about it?" Huang Feng asked, puzzled, but did not pull away.
"Wait another 20 years," Kanako murmured as she gently caressed her belly, "Wait for one more generation, and we can slowly transform most of this world. We will live in a fairer, freer environment where everyone... can do whatever they want. You will be happy then too."
"You’re pregnant?"—Cough! Huang Feng said as she coughed.
She staggered to the bedside table, took out a tissue, and wiped away the blood she had spat out.
Scattered gunfire came from outside; Kanako helped Huang Feng to a large recliner in the room.
"We’ll try and see if we can hold off the pursuers," Kanako said.
"Would Nestor Corporation consider me an asset?" Huang Feng doubted.
"As long as you refuse to let us make money, we can’t consider you an asset. That’s been your strategy all along, hasn’t it?" Kanako said with a beautiful smile.
"Ha," Huang Feng looked down.
"Take the money first, you never know when it might come in handy, and you also need medical treatment," Kanako said as she stuffed a cash card into Huang Feng’s hand.
Huang Feng glanced at the number on the card, 1 million! It nearly induced a heart attack and then made her faint.
She calmed her racing heart, repeatedly caressing the smart chip on the table. A40, we are rich now.
"I’m honored to see the best Reality Manipulator standing before me. Once you reach us, we will protect you," Kanako said as she stood up and looked out the window.
On the other side, after receiving the message, 102 arrived on the ground floor with the Short Spear, ready to drive away those paramilitary personnel who had gotten too close.
In the torrential rain, dense raindrops pattered on 102’s Witch Armor, creating a series of crackling sounds, with the heavy downpour providing a sense of security to 102.
"The hotel has been shut down," 102 shouted, "Get moving!"
The soldiers and paramilitary personnel just silently advanced, and 102 quickly opened fire at them. The Gunlance roared, flames bellowed, and shells exploded among them, instantly blowing away dozens of armed individuals.
In the darkness, heavier footsteps approached. 102 sensed danger and retreated next to a flowerbed; there was no decent cover around.
Four Blazing Long Spears were suddenly hurled from the darkness. 102 enhanced her entire body and rapidly dodged; one of the spears hit her left shoulder while the rest struck the steps, igniting undying flames instantly.
Blackfire rose, burning away the skin, bones, and Armor on 102’s left shoulder.
Agony surged like a tide; she clenched her teeth, rapidly retreating, while the Armor’s built-in interfaces administered a Healing Injection.
couldn’t see the enemy, she clenched her teeth and futilely swung the Short Spear with her right hand. Behind her was the Xisheng Hotel; there was no escape.
Enduring the intense pain, 102 crouched behind a billboard. Four fire spears were shot from the darkness again, striking the entire billboard, which immediately began to burn and melt.
"102!" 101 shouted through the communication channel.
"Blackfire!" 102 looked down at the hit area; her left shoulder was a horrific sight, flames spreading along her wound. The high-temperature Armor stuck to her skin and the pain was unbearable. A second Healing Injection was used, followed by anesthetics and combat painkillers.
But it was useless; what she needed was to put out the fire, not treatment.
was sweating profusely, staring intently as more than 10 members of the Invisible Imperial Guard emerged from the darkness. Four had exited their Armor, existing in a completely floating Blackfire form.
The hotel’s security personnel and combat robots immediately opened fire on them. These phantom-like creatures raised their firearms, and the four wielded their flaming spears, silently shooting towards the hotel’s defenses.
It was an outright massacre!
only heard a series of dense screams and explosions, and then Xisheng Hotel’s defense line collapsed instantaneously.
After several rounds of firing, 102 turned to see every machine ignited or exploded, with personnel lying in pools of blood.
In the distance, the Invisible Imperial Guard were still advancing silently.
tried to touch her wound, but all she felt was a gaping hole. Blackfire counteracted all defenses, only burning and destroying until it exhausted itself.
"They’re after Huang Feng! We can’t afford to fight them here!" 102 said weakly.
What was needed now was a Reality Manipulator, and the most powerful one at that.
She kneeled, firing at the Invisible Imperial Guard; the Gunlance released shells that bombarded one’s Armor, only causing its steps to pause briefly. The Invisible Imperial Guard kept advancing. 102 retreated, operating the Gunlance single-handedly was inconvenient, and severe injuries impacted her ability to fight. Several soldiers from the Nestor Legion rescued 102 back into the hotel lobby.
Immediately after, the Invisible Imperial Guard raised their firearms and started shooting at the entire hotel; gunfire merged into a chorus, with the sound of shattering glass exploding continuously.
They intended to destroy the entire building.
teleported over, embracing 102 and taking her back to the security department. The soldiers of Nestor Corporation were on high alert, preparing for layered defenses.
