Chapter 691: Chapter 578 Jialong Slope
By the time the Auspicious Water Level reached the coast, they discovered those coastal defense installations.
Dense barbed wire, steel anti-landing grids, high-grade searchlights, and scanners covered the beaches around Jialong Slope, encircling three-quarters of the nearshore area like a fence, forming an ever-ready guard.
had heard that Jialong Slope was cautious of stowaways, but she hadn’t imagined the defenses to be so rigorous; normal vessels simply couldn’t approach from the unmanned coast, as all unofficial entry and exit points were blocked.
Jialong Slope was the gem of the Southern Region, with millions of immigrants queuing up day and night, eager to enter this resplendent corporate city. Although it wasn’t the most advanced or safest city in the world, it was far better than the Taiya Archipelago and other places in the Southern Region.
For this reason, Jialong Slope maintained extremely strict management of personnel movements.
"We’ll be safe once we get to Jialong Slope." 101 maneuvered the Auspicious Water Level to a position flush against the anti-landing structure, which, superficially, resembled a series of interlocking spears pointing out to sea. Any ship or submarine trying to forcefully break through would be impaled; civilian sampan boats didn’t stand a chance.
A40 patiently waited, its intelligent chip partially melted from overheating, with too many issues now requiring its consideration.
Black Fire Innovation was enraged and would not rest; Huang Feng had gone mad and was also seriously ill; they were trapped among the Spearmen and still owed a huge favor to the boss, with the chance to repay it seeming far off.
All these events accumulated into a sequence that deeply troubled A40.
Taking out the Farsight Orb, 101 surveyed the situation on the shore, grabbing Huang Feng’s shoulder with her left hand and one of A40’s iron arms with her right hand. Then, she activated her Magic Power, moving through a distance of 100 meters to appear on the other side of the anti-landing grid.
That was all the Magic Power she had left.
"..." 101’s Magic Power had reached its consumption limit. She activated the Power Engine in her Witch Armor, a move that was more energy-efficient. Propulsion devices at each joint of the limbs worked efficiently, allowing her to move swiftly without exerting herself, thereby easing the burning sensation in her muscles.
By midnight, they had stealthily climbed the beach and entered the jungle on the coast.
sat under a damp large tree, staring at the dark sea waters and dim night scenery.
Huang Feng began to make strange noises again. 101 signaled A40 to control Huang Feng, and though A40 was reluctant, it held Huang Feng down.
Seeing Huang Feng in such a weakened state, A40 couldn’t help but feel sad.
took a Pale Cure Injection from her military carry-on and injected it into Huang Feng’s upper arm.
An overwhelming drowsiness overtook Huang Feng, and she offered no resistance, enveloping herself in that sweet, sticky sleepiness as if it was her heartfelt wish.
Huang Feng closed her eyes, breathing evenly.
"What did you give her?" A40 asked.
"We’ve used a Healing Injection mixed with Magic Medicine Technology. She’ll keep sleeping unless someone deliberately wakes her up." 101 explained.
"Will it help her recover to normal?"
"Yes, she should become lucid again." 101 was quite confident in the Pale Cure Injection.
"That’s great." A40 was pleased.
"Perhaps we should execute her. Her very existence is a sin." 101 knelt down halfway.
"You are despicable." A40 said.
"Let her agonize for the rest of her life? Eve Anak had her tongue pulled out and was stuffed into a bio-sealed chamber to decay—that’s the fate commanded by Command Reality. Tragedies just morph and repeat, they never disappear." 101 said coldly.
"No." A40 spoke, lifting its mechanical arm as if to shoo 101 away.
Without anything to say, 101 thought of her missing younger sister and also harbored anger in her heart.
She checked the communication channel. The condition of 102’s beacon was out of range; she’d only have a chance to re-establish a connection from a location with a stronger signal.
"Hold the beach." 101 walked deeper into the forest, hoping to find a suitable place to spend the night.
She found an abandoned campsite in the forest that seemed to have been visited and abandoned, littered with used condoms, aluminum cans, drink bottles, plastic bags, and plates. In the center lay a soiled red and green checkered picnic tablecloth with a broken folding stool beside it.
dragged the folding stool over, sat on it, and rested her hands on her cheeks. She missed Nestor Corporation and everything in the Northern Archipelago.
The city lights of Jialong Slope twinkled in the distance. From afar, she could see some aircraft skimming rapidly over the top of the city, as conspicuous as birds with full golden wings.
It was like a seductive city of sin, waiting for criminals and entrepreneurs to spend lavishly. The glaring neon tubes interlaced colors, red as fire, green like phosphorescence.
watched the city’s nightscape and gradually fell asleep.
At five in the morning, 101 completely collapsed the shabby folding stool, plopping onto the ground, barely able to stand up.
remembered the Jialong Slope she saw before falling asleep. Now looking at the city again, she viewed the urban skyline, shrouded in morning fog and photochemical smog, as if Jialong Slope was nestled in a semi-transparent giant cocoon.
She got up and walked toward the beach. A40 hadn’t moved, vigilantly watching the ocean.
"Any enemies?" 101’s gaze followed the length of A40’s conical camera, seeing the slowly undulating tide. The continuous anti-landing grids and the seawall still isolated the nearshore from the deep sea.
"Two warships approached but then veered off." A40 said.
"Black Fire Innovation might want to attack Jialong Slope." 101 pressed her forehead, suffering a pounding headache due to poor sleep.
A40 made no comment on that. Its camera refocused on Huang Feng, who was still asleep beside them. A40 hoped she would be safe from now on; she was so dirty, so weak, and certainly very hungry.
