#386 - Chapter 386: Energy Shield Demonstrates Power
“Master, you believe it now, right? This circle is really strange!” Ling Tian finally had a chance to prove himself.
Master nodded but didn't answer him.
What's the use of believing? We can't leave now.
Rather than this, he'd rather believe it was all fake.
“You two, get on the tank and fire at that iron tower, blow it up!” Master ordered.
The two modified humans obeyed, jumping several times, transferring through several circles, and finally jumped onto the tank.
Opening the hatch, they climbed inside, and the tank started.
The huge muzzle adjusted its direction and angle, aiming at the direction of the iron tower.
“Bang~”
A huge cannon sound rang out, and a shell shot out from the muzzle, flying towards the iron tower.
Everyone looked over.
All their hopes were pinned on this shell.
Since the distance was still a bit far, Master took out binoculars to observe carefully.
“Hiss~”
Many people were shocked.
Just as the shell was about to approach the iron tower, a faint light screen appeared. This light screen was like a罩子 covering the iron tower.
After the shell hit the light screen, it exploded. However, the fragments of the explosion, including the shock wave, failed to enter the area covered by the light screen.
“This…” Ling Tian was dumbfounded.
Although he kept saying that this protective circle could defend against all attacks, he had never actually tried a cannon attack. When his master ordered to fire the cannon, he was still a little nervous.
If the iron tower was blown down with one shot, then he really wouldn't be able to explain it. Now that it was safe and sound, he was relieved.
However, after a sigh of relief, new worries arose. He didn't expect this iron tower to be able to defend to such a perverted degree, even blocking the shock wave. Did they still have hope of escaping back?
Last time he was let go, if he was caught again this time, would the other party still let him go back?
“This…, this…, could this be the legendary energy shield?” someone suddenly shouted.
This person was the one who threw the stone into the circle just now. Judging from his appearance, he should be a researcher or something, not a modified human.
“Energy shield?” Master asked.
“Yes! But how is this possible? Shouldn't this be something made up? How could it exist in reality?” The expert looked incredulous.
“Is there a way to deal with it?” Master asked.
This was the reason for bringing the expert over, wanting to crack the protective circle, they still had to rely on knowledge.
“If I guessed correctly, the shield must have a control core, and this core must be in that iron tower.” The expert thought for a moment.
“Old man, aren't you just saying the obvious? We can't even get out of this circle now, how are we going to find that control core?” Ling Tian retorted.
“Wasn't the rabbit that was let go just now alright? We can try using pikas.” The expert said.
“I'm telling you, it's a waste of effort. Last time countless dung beetles didn't enter this circle one step, will these pikas work?” Ling Tian was tough at the moment.
He had been lectured for too long, he needed to vent.
“Dung beetles are dung beetles, pikas are pikas, I only believe in experiments!” The expert was not polite with him either.
“Whatever!” Ling Tian leaned over and sat in the circle, no longer stopping him.
The expert took out a portable controller he was carrying and started operating it.
“Clang~”
The carriage door of an armored vehicle opened automatically.
A group of pikas swarmed out of the carriage.
They came to the expert's side and stopped.
Obviously, these pikas were all controlled by the expert.
“You grab one and throw it in.” The expert ordered the modified human next to him.
The modified human bent down, picked up a pika, and threw it hard into the circle.
The pika landed and rolled a few times, stood firm, and ran back.
Safe and sound.
“Throw a few more in.” The expert ordered.
The modified human did as he was told.
Without exception, all these pikas ran back safe and sound.
The facts proved that these circles were ineffective against pikas.
Everyone was very happy, they saw hope.
The expert finally had no more worries and operated on the portable controller.
When the last button was pressed, these pikas began to gather and charged towards the iron tower.
Just a few meters away, there was movement on the ground. A very large circle was slowly appearing, surrounding the pikas.
“Damn!” The expert felt something was wrong when he saw this scene and quickly picked up the controller to prepare to terminate the order to attack the iron tower.
But it was too late.
After a moment of hesitation, many pikas had already run out of the circle.
Unsurprisingly, they were instantly decomposed.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
They didn't understand why it was okay to release one or two pikas, but it wouldn't work if all of them were released.
“No! No! Who is it? Come out! Come out for me!” The expert was furious and shouted loudly.
“What happened?” Master asked.
“There's a problem here. Someone is manipulating these circles behind the scenes, we are being played like monkeys!” The expert said.
It seems that this expert still has some brains.
