Chapter 692: Chapter 578 Jialong Slope_2

"My sister is calling for me," 101 saw the message in the communication channel.

It turned out that two hours ago, 102 had already come ashore from the territory of the Southern Territory Rubber Company, informing 101 to meet up and return to the safety zone together.

"Are you leaving us?" A40 watched as 101 turned to leave without hesitation.

"Huang Feng is your problem. If there’s a risk of her being taken back, kill her." 101 drew an Anonymous Cash Card from her chest, "There are 100,000 funds on the card, find a way to keep her alive."

"..." A40, just a robot, would be suspected even for holding money to spend, and such a large amount would immediately attract the attention of local gangs.

But what could A40 do? Without money, Huang Feng would starve to death.

It grasped the cash card tightly with its pincer-like arms.

"Can you stay and help us?" A40 asked.

"Coming to save you already involved great risks," 101 knew she had to leave this place of trouble quickly, so she did not speak further.

She immediately activated her armor and hurriedly left the Jialong Slope area, intent on meeting 102.

Dawn was approaching, but A40 wished it wouldn’t come. If time could just stand still at this moment, it would be better; daylight was too dangerous—someone was bound to come.

A40 awkwardly bent down, hearing the dry friction sound from its own body bearings.

It needed batteries, lubricant, and a pair of more dexterous arms, but now it could only lower its power consumption, driving the creaking mechanical arms, trying hard to lift Huang Feng off the ground.

A40 went to the abandoned campsite where 101 had rested the night before, placed Huang Feng on the discarded red and green checkered tablecloth, then clamped the cash card in its mechanical arm and went on patrol around the area.

On the mountain path outside the woods, A40 actually saw someone.

That was a green-clothed enhanced human, and also of the more advanced kind.

His walking was incredibly fast, almost imperceptible, as his feet alternated steps, smoothly traversing flat ground, gravel, tarred roads, and highways alike, his pace was astonishing.

The green-clothed man moved along the edge of the forest on an athletic track and was about to enter the woods.

A40 panicked; if the stranger entered the woods, he would see Huang Feng.

It hurried back to the previous campsite.

Running back, A40 scanned and enlarged the image of the man. His brown cheeks, long eyebrows, rigid expression, dressed in an emerald green tank top and shorts, with a red laser shotgun on his back, resembled a normal local resident.

His feet had been modified, allowing him to glide easily over the ground and swiftly reach the abandoned campsite, spotting Huang Feng lying there instantly.

"Eh?" The green-clothed man approached Huang Feng curiously.

Despite her dirty appearance, he noted her shapely form and pretty face, which sparked a reaction in him.

The Blackfire secret script on her body looked like something from a tattoo shop in Jialong Slope, nothing unusual for this place.

The green-clothed man approached, pinched Huang Feng’s cheek forcefully and patted her face, confirming she was unconscious, which only heightened his excitement. He couldn’t wait to rip Huang Feng’s T-shirt off, remove her white vest, and her dark blue hot pants.

He scanned her, and his eye camera took an image of Huang Feng, comparing it with the general database, and immediately linked to a secret agent from Black Fire Innovation.

Through a specific mechanism, as soon as someone saw and searched Huang Feng’s facial features, the database would trigger an alert, notifying the secret units of Black Fire Innovation.

Accordingly, the green-clothed man received a communication invitation from Black Fire Innovation.

He realized he had stumbled upon something big.

Merely uploading her facial data had attracted the attention of a giant corporation; the answer was clear—she was either an escapee from Black Fire Innovation or a missing combatant. Either way, this was a big deal for him.

The green-clothed man felt pleased with himself.

"Hello!" A40 now clumsily caught up.

Seeing the man crouched next to Huang Feng, A40 hurried, the cash card in its grasp nearly snapping, its rifle aimed at the man’s head.

"Oh ho, Spearman," the green-clothed man confirmed the pair’s Black Fire Innovation connections, "No problem, don’t worry, bro, we know all the gun-runner shops here."

He stalled A40 while also connecting to the Black Fire secret agent’s communication channel, quietly responding.

"Buddy, I found your target. Shall I deliver her in person or drop her at a transit point? There’s also a Spearman here, pointing his gun at me," he whispered.

"That Spearman is a traitor, be careful," the secret agent replied urgently, "Whoever you are, as long as you cooperate with us, you will be handsomely rewarded."

The green-clothed enhanced human looked down at Huang Feng. If one ignored the dirt, she was still quite beautiful.

Well then, a broken Spearman, a mysterious little beauty, all related to the big deal with Black Fire Innovation.

The man in green had a plan set in his mind.

First, he needed to dismantle the Spearman, play with this little beauty a few times, then contact a third party to sell her off, to a rival of Black Fire Innovation.

"Put the shotgun down! Otherwise, I’m shooting!" A40 advanced step by step.

"Alright... alright..." The man in green placed the shotgun on the Ground first, and then started to activate his hacking software, preparing to hack this broken Spearman.

"I’ll give you all the Funds, just leave her alone!" A40, worried about Huang Feng, pushed the Anonymous Cash Card forward, "There’s 100,000 in it!"

"Wow, brother, you’re really generous." The man in green laughed, then without a change in expression sent a hacking trojan to A40’s communication module.

Immediately afterward, his feet slid across the Ground, dodging bullets, while stretching his hand toward the Ground, ready to grab the shotgun—just two shots would be enough to blow A40 away.

Just as his hand reached for the shotgun, he suddenly saw something white flash by.

Huang Feng also reached for the gun.

With force, she dragged the shotgun over, flipped over, released the safety of the gun, and pulled the trigger at the man in green.

Bang!

A massive red energy blast shot out, the man in green quickly jumped back, his body turned into a mash in midair, blood splattering everywhere.

His insides were instantly melted by the high-temperature energy, leaving only two small arms and half a leg on the Ground.

"..." Huang Feng, holding the shotgun, gasped for air nonstop, then started coughing loudly.

She should’ve taken her medicine at this time, otherwise the cancer cells would keep spreading.

"Huang Feng!" Seeing the man in green eliminated, A40 was overjoyed, staggering over to Huang Feng’s side, "You’re not crazy! That’s great... I’ve waited for you so long... When did you..."

Huang Feng didn’t speak, just sat exhausted on the Ground, holding the red shotgun, her body covered in blood.

"We should go now, Huang Feng, it’s great, Huang Feng..." A40 moved in front of Huang Feng.

"Jialong Slope?" Huang Feng saw the city in the distance.

"We’re starting a new life, it’s great, Huang Feng, it’s great, we’re going to live here. I’m going to live with you now. You’re back to normal, that’s great, that’s great..." A40 rambled on.

Huang Feng looked up at A40.

Her eyes were vacant.

"Let’s end it here, don’t keep going." she said.

A40 froze.

"Ah, Huang Feng, ah." It couldn’t find the words.

"I’m tired of walking, help me, A40."

"I don’t know."

"Living is just too hard. The best ending for me would be death. All the corporations... they only see me as an asset, Nestor Corporation included."

"I can’t do anything." A40 was desperate about all this.

"You’re the only one who can bring me relief." Huang Feng knelt on the Ground, pressed the muzzle of A40’s gun to her forehead, holding its barrel with both hands, "Don’t let me cry anymore. Please, A40, this is the last chance, kill me. Don’t take me any further, I’ve had enough."

"Me?" A40 looked at Huang Feng kneeling in front of it.

Huang Feng’s head was pressed tightly against the muzzle, her final tears dropping from her eyes.

"I’m entrusting you with my life." Huang Feng sobbed quietly.

Tears fell to the Ground.

The barrel of A40’s gun was pressed against Huang Feng’s forehead, it chambered a round with a click.

In that moment, it knew that only a fair death could end all tears.

It turned its head, the sun had already risen, the morning light shining over the city of Jialong Slope, it was now clear to see, the grey-yellow clouds covered the bridges, towers, and the man-made lake. On the edge, the azure light rail station stood like a diamond, hovercars rapidly shuttled on the tracks, lush green gardens dotted the tops of pretty shopping malls and apartments, adorned with brass lion fountains and infinity pools. Casinos, hotels, and shopping centers at the top emitted huge advertising projections, promoting luggage, jewelry, and vehicles.

"My God." A40 said.
