242. Termoss and Rosenberg!

Hearing the other party's question, Rorschach slightly turned his metal helmet.

He looked down at the human child not far away through the eyepiece and said in a low voice:

"Child, I am not Iron Man, nor am I an angel who comes to save you."

As soon as the voice fell.

Rorschach, who retracted his sight, drove the blue power armor forward without hesitation.

However, before he took a few steps.

He suddenly turned his tall figure.

He walked slowly to the human child with a depressed expression with heavy steps.

"Remember, child, humans can only rely on themselves. If you want to get out of trouble, you must learn to resist!"

The low voice reached the other party's ears.

Rorschach's huge palm wrapped in a metal shell slightly reached the bottom of the power backpack.

A bomb with a cold light on the surface immediately jumped into the palm.

Then, he gently placed the bomb in the human child's subconsciously raised hand.

"Can I... can I know your name?"

The human child with a blank look grinned slightly.

Revealing uneven yellow teeth due to malnutrition.

"Astartes... you can remember this name!"

Rorschach whispered to the human child after a moment of silence.

Then, he drove the blue power armor through the terrified adults and walked forward without looking back.

After Rorschach and the Iron Man David, who made everyone scream again, passed the layers of garbage barriers nearby.

Rorschach suddenly said to the Iron Man David from the communication device:

"David, remember to send the outpost department stationed in the Empire Heavy Industry to recruit combatants here and improve their living environment... The people here may need a hope to survive. Instead of dying of hunger or drowning in drugs, it is better to die on the battlefield for humanity in the future."

"Understood, my Lord... your kindness is their only hope for salvation."

The Iron Man David, who had been following behind the blue power armor, shook his metal head.

Then, its eye sockets flashed blue light several times, and it continued respectfully:

"My Lord, we are still 800 meters away from where Miss Jessica disappeared, and we need to turn left ahead."

"Okay, got it."

Rorschach agreed without looking back.

-------------------------------------

Buzz buzz buzz——

The automatic bees with low engine hums patrolled back and forth in the dim night sky.

Like a dark night ghost waiting for an opportunity.

Five automatic servo robots also surrounded Rorschach's tall figure.

And they turned on the extremely bright searchlights one by one.

At this moment, Rorschach and Iron Man David have arrived at the location where Jessica's signal disappeared.

This is a dim alley sandwiched between low buildings.

It is filled with all kinds of worthless discarded debris.

The winding alley that can barely accommodate two people walking side by side continues to extend into the deep slums.

I don't know where it leads to.

And it starts from the top of the building three meters away.

There were all kinds of tangled wires everywhere, almost blocking all the light in the alley.

At first glance, it looked like a super tangled mess that was difficult to untangle.

It also looked like a metal spider web abandoned by some arthropod.

Accompanied by the continuous illumination of searchlights from the automatic servo robot.

Iron man David, with blue light flashing in his eyes, squatted down and lowered his metal back.

It stared motionlessly at any traces left on the wet ground of the alley, scanning and calculating repeatedly.

Not long after, Iron man David, with blue light flashing in his eyes, suddenly raised a metal palm.

It pointed at the messy and unrecognizable blurred footprints in front of it.

Turning the metal head, he said to Rorschach, who had his arms folded:

"My Lord, I think I have found some traces of Miss Jessica. She or her friend may have been seriously injured. Look, here are the messy traces left by two people supporting each other, and I think it is most likely that Miss Jessica was seriously injured..."

Rorschach, who was wearing a metal helmet, did not wait for him to ask.

The Iron Man David, who had been crouching with his metal back, quickly stood up.

It took cautious steps and walked a few steps into the depths of the alley.

Then, Iron Man David, staring down at the ground, continued to say to Rorschach:

"According to the footprints left at the scene, there may be two groups of people following them. One is a man wearing combat boots. Judging from the amplitude and strength of his steps, he is strong and powerful... The most likely possibility is that he is a soldier or a mercenary. Of course, it is not ruled out that he is an agent of a certain organization."

"As for the other group of people following the man, their origins are elusive to me for a while, because from the remaining footprints, this group has the largest number of people, including men, women, and even children's footprints... Could these be the human slaves rescued by Miss Jessica?"

Iron Man David, with blue light flashing in his eyes, returned to the front of the blue power armor.

It slowly spoke to Rorschach, who had remained silent.

"Tsk... David, that's not necessarily true. Don't judge whether the other party is a good guy or a bad guy based on simple physical evidence."

Rorschach, who had been staring at the countless complex lines above, suddenly lowered his two sturdy arms.

He drove the power armor deeper into the alley for more than ten meters.

Then he turned and faced the iron man David.

"I felt that there was something wrong with the distribution of the lines above, David. From this position, the wires above actually have obvious signs of being damaged, and from the edges of some of the lines that have melted, this should be caused by the plasma pistol..."

Rorschach, whose metal helmet was rotating upward, quickly captured some clues with the help of the eyepiece.

He raised a sturdy arm heavily wrapped in a metal shell.

Pointing out several holes penetrated by plasma, he said to Iron Man David:

"David, according to the analysis of the footprints you found, if the man in military boots following them was the pursuer, why did Jessica shoot into the air? Instead of shooting at the tail behind her?"

"If it was because Jessica was seriously injured, a plasma pistol that never overheats can be handed over to her friends to use, and there is no need for training, just keep pulling the trigger... I think no carbon-based creature within tens of meters can escape the terrifying high temperature brought by plasma."

"However, Jessica and her friends did not do so, or it can be said that at the moment of the incident, they thought that something was far more threatening than the pursuers behind them... Or maybe the one behind them was not the pursuers, but the helpers?"

Rorschach's voice was not finished.

As if he lowered his head and pondered for a while, Iron Man David stepped forward again.

It first scanned the surrounding environment again.

Then he immediately walked to a wall of the alley.

The next second, the two metal fingers of Iron Man David were inserted into the old brick wall and dug gently.

Soon after, a bullet with a silver sheen appeared on the metal palm of Iron Man David.

"My Lord, similar bullets are almost all over the nearby walls, and from the angle of this bullet and the restoration of the trajectory, I seem to have some other ideas..."

Iron Man David, who was talking to Rorschach, suddenly raised his metal head.

Blue light quickly projected from the depths of its eye sockets to the alley in front of it.

Ten seconds later, a group of virtual images restored by on-site traces and data reasoning simulation appeared clearly in front of Rorschach.

Accompanied by a large number of shaking blue light.

Two blue virtual figures supporting each other and limping broke into the entrance of the alley.

Just as the two virtual figures were running away in panic.

One of the blue virtual figures suddenly noticed something.

He quickly raised the plasma pistol in his palm and fired at the sky.

At the same time, a sturdy blue virtual figure also quickly entered the alley.

However, judging from his shooting action of raising the gun backwards and his agile simulated steps,

he was not chasing the two blue virtual figures in front of him at all!

On the contrary, this sturdy stranger was most likely buying time for Jessica and the others to escape!
