Chapter 1219 Humanoid Mech?
This merciless warning, like a bucket of ice water, instantly brought the tribespeople, who were immersed in joy, back to their senses.
Looking at Du Wenyuan's serious, even somewhat cold, expression, and recalling the hardships they had endured since the end of the world and the humiliations they had suffered just yesterday, they all suppressed their excitement and became solemn.
"Big brother (uncle) is right! We will definitely keep that in mind!" Everyone responded in unison, the fervor in their eyes fading, replaced by a heavy sense of responsibility and vigilance.
Seeing this, Du Wenyuan's expression softened slightly, but his tone remained unquestionable:
"Remember, what we need to do now is to be steady! To be calm! To quietly accumulate strength and wait for the right opportunity, instead of rushing out to show our presence."
“Keep this ‘luck’ in your heart and transform it into motivation for each member of the Du family to do their job well. Only in this way can we truly live up to Wanying’s contributions and truly enable the Du family to go further.”
As Du Wenyuan finished his reprimand, the atmosphere in the courtyard gradually shifted from the previous excitement and noise to a restrained, contemplative quiet.
The joy of moving was still there, but there was also a greater sense of caution and planning for the future. Du Wenyuan's admonition was like a stabilizing force, keeping the Du family ship, which had just entered a new course, stable and preventing it from capsizing due to sudden storms.
However, at that moment, a burst of intense engine roar suddenly sounded outside the door.
Buzz buzz————
The dense roar of engines grew louder as it approached, finally coming to an abrupt halt outside the Du family's courtyard gate.
Immediately following was a series of neat, powerful footsteps, like the heavy thud of metal boots on the bluestone pavement, carrying a heart-pounding rhythm, interspersed with low, short commands and the rapid mobilization of the troops.
'One two one, one two one! ! '
"Report your numbers!!"
"One! Two! Three! Four!..."
...
The sudden sound of the arrival of elite troops made the Du family members, who had just been calmed down by Du Wenyuan, jump into their throats again.
Joy and caution were instantly replaced by tension and a hint of unease. Could something have changed again?
Boom boom boom!
Just as the Du family was filled with doubt and uncertainty, there was a light knock on the courtyard gate, the sound steady and clear.
A young nephew near the door glanced at Du Wenyuan instinctively. Seeing his uncle nod slightly, he took a deep breath, quickly stepped forward, and carefully opened the heavy black lacquered wooden door.
The moment the door opened, a chilling wind, mixed with the scents of steel, engine oil, and a faint energy, rushed out.
The young nephew's gaze first fell on Chang Zhiwei, who stood at the very front, bearing the insignia of a major general, his face dark and resolute. He recognized this highest-ranking military officer in Lin'an, and feeling somewhat reassured, he was about to speak—
However, the next second, his gaze was involuntarily drawn to the figure behind and to the side of Chang Zhiwei, and something seemed to suddenly block his throat, turning all his sounds into a short exclamation:
"Mech—!"
There stood a giant steel spirit that was almost humanoid!
He was nearly two meters tall, and his unusually robust body was tightly wrapped in a heavy, angular, matte black armor that covered his entire body.
The armor's lines are cold and powerful, with the shoulder armor protruding outwards like a dragon's head, featuring a ferocious curve; the chest armor is thick, with faint dark red energy patterns visible on it, like solidified magma; the armor on the arms and legs is full of mechanical beauty, with reinforced armor covering the joints, and hydraulic rods and energy conduits peeking out from the gaps.
What is most striking is the slightly raised structure behind him, which glows with a faint blue light. A deep, steady hum of energy emanates from there, as if it contains boundless power.
A Tang-style horizontal sword, with an antique design but noticeably longer and thicker dimensions, lay silently in its magnetic scabbard behind him, its cold guard reflecting a chilling glint in the sparse light.
The full-coverage helmet enveloped his entire head, and the visor was made of dark lenses that completely obscured his face. Only two barely perceptible, almost tangible gazes pierced through the lenses and fell upon the person who opened the door, carrying an inhuman calmness and a sense of oppression.
This isn't a human! It's clearly a walking, humanoid war machine born for slaughter! A mecha warrior that only exists in science fiction!
The young nephews and nieces were so frightened by this unbelievable sight that they backed away, their faces flushed, unable to utter a single word.
The others in the courtyard were also stunned by the scene at the entrance. The women instinctively covered their mouths, while the men stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.
Even the well-informed Du Wenyuan's pupils contracted slightly, and he was greatly shocked. This scene, which resembled a science fiction movie, was beyond his comprehension!
Seeing this, Chang Zhiwei immediately put on a smile, stepped forward, and spoke in a tone of unprecedented politeness, even with a hint of barely perceptible respect, loudly addressing the courtyard:
"Director Du, don't panic! This is Captain Du Wu of the Jinling Military Sub-district. He has been ordered by Chairman Gu and the Central Plains War Zone to lead a team here to take charge of the security of you and Captain Yang's family!"
He stepped aside and reached out to guide the towering crystal warrior:
"Captain Du Wu, this is Director Du Wenyuan."
Upon hearing Chang Zhiwei's introduction, Du Wenyuan instantly suppressed his shock, quickly put on a warm yet measured smile, and strode forward to greet him.
He knew very well that the "mecha captain" in front of him represented the direct will of Chairman Gu and the Central Plains War Zone!
"Captain Du Wu! You must be exhausted from your journey all the way from Jinling. Please come in, please come in!"
Du Wenyuan's voice was full of just the right amount of enthusiasm. He took the initiative to extend his hand, and his gaze fell on the other person's armored palm, pausing slightly.
Du Wu lowered his armored head slightly as a gesture of greeting, but he did not remove his hand armor to shake hands with Du Wenyuan. Instead, he responded with a slightly programmed, cold voice that came through his mask:
"Director Du, it's a pleasure to meet you. It's just my duty, nothing too arduous." His tone was calm, devoid of much emotion, carrying a businesslike detachment.
