Chapter 397 The Attack

Forbidden Zone Mission (Prerequisite): Cover the exploration team entering Laboratory No. 3. Mission Reward: Basic weapon x1 carried by exploration team members.

Bai Ye felt utterly bewildered!

Why were there forbidden zones in the mirror world?

Alright, even if there were forbidden zones, why would they activate at this particular time?

How many chosen ones could there possibly be in this mirror world?

Let alone the mirror world, even in the City of Ruins, the number of chosen ones was not high, definitely not exceeding three digits.

"Yimi!"

Bai Ye immediately thought of that guy.

Given the current situation, the most likely person to have activated the forbidden zone in the mirror world was Yimi.

As Bai Ye pondered, he quickly peered around.

Looking for Yimi?

No, Bai Ye wasn't interested in that guy right now, even if Yimi was very likely the chosen one who activated the forbidden zone.

However, with the forbidden zone now active, one had to play by its rules. The first thing to consider should be the forbidden zone mission.

And the content of the forbidden zone mission was…

Cover the exploration team entering Laboratory No. 3!

What kind of situation required cover?

Naturally, it was when there was danger that cover was needed!

As Bai Ye pondered, he quickly scanned his surroundings, and suddenly…

Bai Ye's gaze landed on an armed robot by the roadside!

That armed robot was semi-humanoid, with a human-like upper body and a tank-like lower body, propelled by treads.

For a moment, Bai Ye saw the eyes of the armed robot flash with light.

This was absolutely impossible, because the mirror world couldn't replicate resources, which meant those robots had no internal energy source for power.

But, if it were a forbidden zone…

Then it was hard to say!

And the moment Bai Ye thought this, the eyes of the armed robot lit up with red light again.

This time, Bai Ye was sure it wasn't an illusion; the robot had truly moved.

The next instant, two grenades on the armed robot's back rose towards its shoulders!

Bai Ye shouted, "Jump out, jump out quickly!"

Bai Ye was the first to open the car door and leap out.

And at that very moment…

Two grenades were fired towards the car.

Bai Ye quickly waved his hand, and with a crackle, as Bai Ye's finger swept across the front, five currents intertwined to form an electric net.

Then…

Boom, boom!

The moment the two grenades came into contact with the electric net, they were cut by the current, and then, the deafening sound of explosions erupted.

Amidst the explosions, a terrifying shockwave pushed, and flames spread outwards, with black smoke billowing.

The immense force pushed the car sideways, flipping it onto its side.

Davis reacted quickly, leaping out of the car at the first sound of Bai Ye's shout, but others were not so lucky, crashing around inside the car until it hit roadside barriers and came to a stop.

The attack, however, was not over. The armed robot raised its hand, its fingers transforming into gun barrels, and then fired red energy beams one after another.

Bang, bang, bang…

Davis ran rapidly, the energy beams continuously hitting the ground behind him, shattering it.

Bai Ye seized the opportunity to leap forward, his figure flashing, transforming into a bolt of lightning and suddenly appearing beside the armed robot.

The next instant, Bai Ye raised his hand, and the Steel Slime condensed into the form of Yan Huang Fei Huo.

Clang!

With the sword in hand, Bai Ye swept it forward forcefully.

Where the sword edge pointed, the armed robot was instantly cut in half.

Boom!

After the armed robot was cut, its circuit boards and cables dangled out. Then, with a rumble, black smoke billowed from the ruptured armed robot, followed by an explosion.

But, things were clearly not that simple!

Because…

All the surrounding robots had come to life!

Putting aside the armed robots, those surveillance robots that resembled drones, though not powerful in firepower, were still equipped with small machine guns.

Even the robots responsible for cleaning were now joining in the chaos. Although they had no weapons, they charged headlong towards Bai Ye and Davis.

As for the car…

Bang, bang, bang…

The car door rang, and then the door was kicked open, revealing a large foot.

After kicking the car door open, Gonzalez quickly emerged from the vehicle and then reached in to pull Ji Ruyue and Allen out.

Allen climbed out of the car, drew his pistol, and repeatedly pulled the trigger, firing energy beams into the sky.

As he fired, Allen shouted to Gonzalez, "Cover Ruyue!"

Gonzalez nodded, letting Ji Ruyue get out of the car first. Then he reached into the car, pulled out two machine guns, a backpack, and a metal case, and quickly leaped to the ground.

He couldn't take everything out, so he took what he could. Immediately after, Gonzalez, dragging Ji Ruyue, ran towards the side, intending to find cover.

But at this moment…

From the second floor of a building on the side, an armed robot suddenly appeared, its shoulder rising with grenades.

Gonzalez was startled and quickly raised his gun to fire, but at this moment…

"Imperial Sword!"

Bai Ye let out a light shout, and then Yan Huang Fei Huo transformed into a flying fire, streaking towards the building like a meteor.

Boom!

The armed robot was hit by the flying fire, instantly exploding, its body blown to pieces.

"Go this way!"

Bai Ye shouted towards Gonzalez's direction. The mission was to cover the team heading to Laboratory No. 3, so Bai Ye naturally had to provide directional guidance.

At the same time…

As Bai Ye spoke, he moved closer to Gonzalez's direction, intending to support them.

The Steel Slime wriggled continuously, transforming into Jing Lei Zi Dian.

The moment the condensation was complete, Bai Ye immediately raised his sword and forcefully thrust it downwards into the ground.

Zzzzz!

The sound of crackling currents echoed, and large arcs of electricity appeared, spreading outwards from Bai Ye.

The robots around Bai Ye, which were closing in on him, immediately made strange noises. Upon contact with the arcs, they began to lose control, spinning on the ground, or even advancing erratically, crashing violently into each other.

"Quick, quick, quick…" Bai Ye immediately waved to the others, saying, "Come this way!"

Bai Ye had cleared a path, and the others naturally had no hesitation. While firing, they moved towards Bai Ye's direction.

The moment Bai Ye brushed past them, he signaled for them to go ahead, stating he would cover their retreat, and then quickly took out a spider bomb.

After fiddling with the switch, Bai Ye threw the spider bomb onto the ground. Its eight metallic spider legs sprang out, and then the spider bomb quickly began to move, crawling towards an armed robot.
