Restricted Zone Mission (Preliminary): Provide cover for the exploration team to enter Laboratory No. 3. Mission Reward: Basic weapons carried by exploration team members x1.
Bai Ye felt utterly stunned!
Why would the mirror world have restricted zones?
Fine, even if the mirror world had restricted zones, why would they open at this moment?
How many Chosen Ones could there be in this mirror world?
Let alone the mirror world, there weren't many Chosen Ones in the Ruined City either; the number definitely wouldn't exceed three digits.
"Yimi!"
Bai Ye immediately thought of that guy.
Given the current situation, the most likely person to have opened the restricted zone in the mirror world was Yimi.
As Bai Ye pondered, he quickly peeked 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 opened the restricted zone.
However, now that the restricted zone was open, they had to play by its rules. The first thing to consider should be the restricted zone mission.
And the content of the restricted zone mission was...
Provide cover for the exploration team to enter Laboratory No. 3!
What kind of situation requires cover?
Naturally, it's when there's danger that cover is needed!
Bai Ye thought as he quickly scanned his surroundings, and suddenly...
Bai Ye's gaze fell upon an armed robot by the roadside!
That armed robot was semi-humanoid, with a human-like upper body and a tank-like lower body with treads for movement.
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 restricted zone...
That was hard to say!
And just as Bai Ye was thinking this, the eyes of that armed robot lit up with red light again.
This time, Bai Ye was certain it wasn't an illusion; the robot had truly moved.
In the next instant, the two grenades on the back of the armed robot rose to its shoulders!
Bai Ye shouted loudly, "Jump out, jump out quickly!"
Bai Ye opened the car door and leaped out.
And at that very moment...
Two grenades were fired towards the car.
Bai Ye quickly waved his hand, and with a sizzle, as Bai Ye's finger traced 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 sliced by the current, followed by the deafening roar of an explosion.
Amidst the explosion, a terrifying blast wave pushed, and flames spread outwards, with black smoke billowing.
The immense force pushed the car sideways, flipping it onto the ground.
Davis reacted quickly, leaping out of the car at Godspeed the moment he heard Bai Ye's shout, but others were not so lucky, crashing around inside the car until it hit roadside barricades and stopped.
The attack 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, and he suddenly appeared beside the armed robot like a bolt of lightning.
In the next moment, Bai Ye raised his hand, and the Steel Slime condensed into the form of the Fiery Emperor Flying Fire.
Clang!
With the sword in hand, Bai Ye swung it forcefully forward.
Where the sword's edge pointed, the armed robot was instantly cut in half.
Boom!
After being cut, the armed robot's circuit boards and cables dangled out. With a rumble, black smoke billowed from the ruptured armed robot, and then it exploded.
But, things were clearly not that simple!
Because...
All the surrounding robots came to life!
Putting aside the armed robots, those surveillance robots that resembled drones, though not powerful in firepower, were still equipped with mini-machine guns.
Even the robots responsible for cleaning were now causing trouble, lacking weapons but charging headlong at Bai Ye and Davis.
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 car and then pulled Ji Ruyue and Allen out.
Allen climbed out of the car, drew his pistol, and repeatedly pulled the trigger, energy beams shooting towards the sky.
While shooting, Allen shouted to Gonzalez, "You cover Ruyue!"
Gonzalez nodded, letting Ji Ruyue get out of the car first, then reached into the car and pulled out two machine guns, a backpack, and a metal box, before quickly jumping to the ground.
They couldn't take everything out, so they took what they could. Afterward, Gonzalez, dragging Ji Ruyue, ran to the side, looking for cover.
But at this moment...
On the second floor of a building to the side, an armed robot suddenly appeared, with grenades rising on its shoulders.
Gonzalez was startled and quickly raised his gun to shoot, but at this time...
"Sword Control!"
Bai Ye uttered a soft cry, and the Fiery Emperor Flying Fire transformed into a streak of flying fire, streaking towards the building like a meteor.
Boom!
The armed robot was hit by the flying fire and instantly exploded, its body scattering into 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.
Meanwhile...
As Bai Ye spoke, he moved towards Gonzalez's direction, intending to support the two.
The Steel Slime wriggled incessantly, transforming into the Soaring Thunder and Purple Lightning.
The moment the condensation was complete, Bai Ye immediately raised his sword and forcefully plunged it into the ground.
Sizzle!
The sound of crackling electricity echoed, and large arcs of electricity appeared, spreading outwards from Bai Ye.
The robots closing in on Bai Ye immediately made strange noises. The moment they came into contact with the arcs, they began to malfunction, spinning on the ground, even moving erratically and crashing violently into each other.
"Quick, quick, quick..." Bai Ye immediately waved to the others, "Come this way!"
Bai Ye 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 while he covered their retreat, then quickly took out a spider bomb.
After fiddling with the switch, Bai Ye dropped the spider bomb onto the ground. Its eight metal spider legs sprang out, and the spider bomb quickly began to move, crawling towards an armed robot.
