#524 - Chapter 524: Escape in the Snow
“Cheep, cheep, cheep~”
The remaining three battleships increased their firepower, unleashing a barrage on Jingxi.
Jingxi's speed was too fast, leaving afterimages on the snow, making it impossible to lock onto him.
“Boom~”
The second battleship was destroyed by his palm strike.
“City Lord, the opponent is too fast, two battleships have been damaged. Requesting deployment of mechs, please advise.”
“Approved.”
“Roger!”
The damaged battleships barely hovered above the snow, and two mech warriors quickly flew out from within.
“Cheep, cheep, cheep~”
“Cheep, cheep, cheep~”
The two battleships were only equipped with a total of four mechs.
They all pounced towards Jingxi.
“Sacred One, let's retreat quickly. If we continue fighting like this, our stamina will definitely not hold out!” A follower shouted.
They needed to constantly use their abilities to maintain flight on the snow.
In addition to constantly dodging and maneuvering, their physical exertion was very high.
Moreover, they hadn't eaten anything for three days, and were already extremely weak. Continuing to fight like this would definitely lead to exhaustion.
However, escaping would also be very difficult.
Because the mechs' flight speed was also very fast, it wouldn't be easy to shake them off.
Jingxi ignored him, and turned around to strike the nearest mech with his palm.
Unfortunately, this palm strike had no effect whatsoever.
The mech was equipped with a protective shield, and his attack was quickly dissipated, emitting a faint blue halo.
“What?”
Jingxi was shocked.
This was truly impossible to fight.
Your attacks were ineffective against them, leaving you only able to passively take a beating.
“Follow me!” Jingxi shouted.
They stopped counterattacking and began to flee at full speed.
“Cheep, cheep, cheep~”
The mechs relentlessly pursued from behind.
“Ah!”
A follower was hit in the arm by a laser, and the wound instantly carbonized.
But fortunately, he was at the 2nd rank, so he could still endure the pain.
This was the most aggrieved they had ever been.
They had no presence throughout the entire ordeal, and now they were running through the mountains in nothing but their underwear, being chased by people.
“Cheep, cheep, cheep~”
The mechs' attacks were too dense, making it difficult for them to dodge.
Continuing like this was definitely not an option.
“Down!” Jingxi shouted.
After shouting, he took the lead and dove into the snow.
The three followers, after a moment of stunned silence, also quickly dove down.
Diving into the snow in underwear, anyone who has experienced it knows how refreshing it is.
“Cheep, cheep, cheep~”
“Cheep, cheep, cheep~”
The four mechs unleashed a frenzy of attacks on the surrounding snow.
The snow surface was riddled with dense holes, with heat faintly rising from the openings.
The mechs lost their target and began searching the vicinity.
“Report to the City Lord, the opponents have burrowed into the snow. Due to the thickness of the snow layer, we have lost them.”
“Expand the search area and completely seal off the surrounding snow. I want to see how long they can stay under the snow.” Lingluo replied.
“Yes!”
This blockade lasted for another three days.
For three days, countless flying robots patrolled the sky day and night, but they didn't discover any clues.
Helpless, Lingluo could only order a withdrawal.
Meanwhile, Jingxi and his group of four were struggling to tunnel under the snow. The three followers took turns clearing the path ahead, and they had now reached Haidong City.
“Sacred One, it's been three days, shouldn't it be safe now?” A follower said weakly.
Having not eaten anything for six consecutive days, and constantly being under the snow, the loss of body temperature had increased their energy consumption.
He had no strength left.
The other two were the same.
Moreover, one of them had injured his right arm and was now very pale.
“Haidong City is ahead. Let's find a place to rest there.” Jingxi said.
“Yes!”
30 minutes later.
The group entered a building.
Jingxi rummaged through the abandoned supermarket and found many cans, which he distributed to the others.
These were the few remaining, unspoiled foods that could be found in the abandoned city.
The others, seeing the food, completely disregarded their image and devoured it ravenously.
Jingxi also found some rotten clothes and told them to put them on for now.
After eating and drinking their fill, one of the followers sighed and said:
“Ah! If only we had brought the food they sent when we left. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been so miserable along the way.”
“You don't know anything. Do you know why the Sacred One didn't eat or drink a single bite?” Another follower retorted.
“Why?”
“Are you a pig? Can't you use your brain?”
“Oh, right, right, right! We can't eat it. If there's something in it, we're done for.” This follower understood.
“What exactly is that barrier of theirs? How is its defense so strong?” The follower continued to ask.
“I don't know. But it looks like an energy shield from a science fiction movie.” Another follower replied.
“This Lingluo is something else, being able to create such awesome things.”
“I don't think it's possible that it's him. Haven't you heard? Now, most of the technology in China is exported from the Ulan Neutral Zone.”
“What kind of force is this Ulan Neutral Zone? How is its technology so advanced?”
