Chapter 873: Chapter 845: Raid!

House of Machinery, a colossal organization.

To many people, the name of this organization might not be very famous. In fact, compared to many major forces of the Dark World, the name of this organization might not have even been heard.

However, for certain existences, regarding this organization, it’s quite a headache.

Because not only do they not obey the rules of the Dark World, but their actions are also idiosyncratic and completely disregard certain unwritten rules.

If it were just this, it would have been fine.

What’s more important is that these guys are exceptionally strong.

Of course, this strength isn’t referring to the high-ranking scientists but to the successful research projects of these mad scientists.

Even some forces rely on some of the research results of the House of Machinery.

So to say, it’s a very troublesome force.

Very few people are willing to make enemies with this force for personal reasons, because being enemies with these madmen, could most likely lead to a loss greater than the gain.

Through exaggerations, the reputation of the House of Machinery spread within certain circles.

"But, they are still just a bunch of rats after all." Not far from the canyon, a man’s lips curled into a faint smile as he casually flicked the cigarette butt away.

The true strength of the House of Machinery, perhaps only those who have clashed with them will understand it fully.

And unfortunately, Li Chen is one of those who have crossed paths with the House of Machinery.

Moreover, he almost completely destroyed the entire House of Machinery.

"Last time I let you escape, I didn’t expect not only did you flee to Europe, but you even dared to harm my people, really a bunch of vengeful rats," said Li Chen with a light chuckle.

He waved to the Nether Army beside him, signaling them to put away the rocket launchers.

Now, in the canyon, the original narrow Shandong entrance of the House of Machinery had been completely blasted open by Li Chen’s men using rocket launchers, revealing the metallic doors inside.

Even the metallic doors had been bombed into a pitted mess, with many areas behind the door now exposed.

If this continues, if the House of Machinery’s people keep hunkering down inside, it won’t be long before the entire mountain could collapse down, completely burying the secret base that was hidden within.

By that time, they would truly be unable to get out.

"It’s about time." Li Chen waved to another group of people, and under his command, the Nether Army swiftly approached the direction of the metallic doors.

Li Chen himself also sprinted toward the direction of the doors along with the troops.

Next to Li Chen was a small figure.

Only this figure could barely keep up with Li Chen’s speed; the others were left far behind.

"Are you really going to do it yourself?" Li Chen looked at the person beside him, Lilith, and couldn’t help but ask with some surprise.

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Lilith nodded, "I’ve decided. Over these past few days, I also had some realizations and learned a lot."

"Previously in the base, what we received was merely some brainwashing education. Those people, they never really saw us as humans. In their eyes, we are just tools," said Lilith with an indiscernible expression.

At this moment, a touch of bright melancholy added to her originally somewhat naturally dazed face.

"Brother Li Chen, spending these days with you and Sister Lin Yi, I’ve come to understand what true life really is," Lilith said softly, her voice still clear even in the midst of moving.

"I want... to rescue those who have suffered like me." Lilith’s eyes were filled with determination: "Perhaps, they might not understand my thoughts for now. But I believe that one day, they will ultimately understand."

Hearing Lilith’s words, Li Chen’s lips revealed a hint of a smile.

He understood Lilith’s thoughts, because, once, he had done the same thing.

Taking risks for strangers, or even people he had never met, wasn’t his style, but Li Chen had never regretted anything.

He, too, was not accustomed to regrets.

In the past, during the battle with the House of Machinery, Li Chen had rescued quite a few brainwashed individuals, many of whom later became members of the Nether Army.

Of course, that was after they got rid of the influence of the House of Machinery and truly learned how ordinary people should live.

Chu Pojun, Monster Zu Gu, and Lion King William were among those brainwashed warriors from the House of Machinery, who later became capable Battle Generals of the Palace of the Nether King and also became good aides to Li Chen.

"I hope this time, you won’t let me down again!" Li Chen looked at the steel gate not far away, a blatant killing intent in his eyes.

Just as Li Chen was about to reach the gate, as he had expected, the gate opened!

A swarm of Mechanical Soldiers rushed out from the gate, raising their guns at the approaching Li Chen and Lilith and their companions, unleashing a mad barrage of gunfire.

"Still the same old routine?" A trace of disdain flashed through Li Chen’s eyes.

If it had been earlier, perhaps facing such overwhelming firepower, he might have dodged slightly, hiding a little.

But now, he didn’t even feel like avoiding anymore.

"Be careful!"

Lilith, on the other hand, her gaze shifted, and she was about to hide behind a large stone to the side.

However, seeing Li Chen still charging forward as if he hadn’t seen, Lilith hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and followed by Li Chen’s side.

Noticing Lilith’s small actions, Li Chen’s lips curled into a smile: "What’s the matter, not dodging bullets? Like this, you might die, you know."

Lilith pursed her lips: "It was you who showed me what it really means to be alive, and you taught me the meaning of life. Being by your side, even if it means dying together, it’s worth it."

Li Chen was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Lilith to suddenly say such words.

In Li Chen’s eyes, Lilith was just a somewhat naive and ignorant girl. Usually, apart from carrying out missions, she didn’t even understand the most basic societal norms.

But now, the fact that she could say such words surprised Li Chen a bit.

Pausing briefly, looking up at the bullets sweeping across the sky, Li Chen smiled slightly: "Don’t worry, we won’t die, neither I nor you."

"Those who will die are these guys!"

Saying so, Li Chen straightened his arm, spreading his fingers.
