Chapter 112: Squirrel Squad vs The Robots

The small robots began to retreat toward the elites, while the Squirrel Squad could only stare at them and the Squirrelbots then approached each member to provide protection and assistance.

"The controller, huh?..." Wuxia muttered, staring with a serious expression.

Tiko emerged from behind a tree 50 meters behind the Squirrel Squad, running frantically.

"R-RAVEN! FINALLY YOU APPEAR—SAVE ME!!!" Tiko shouted.

"Haa~... I thought he was already in prison..." Black thought to himself with a frustrated expression.

"ALRIGHT~, GET INTO MY LINES AND FIND A PLACE TO HIDE" Black said lazily.

"O-Okay!"

Tiko began to run into the line of robots. The Squirrel Squad didn’t stop him—their focus was on the robot.

Wuxia began to advance.

"ARE YOU THE BOSS OF THIS PLACE?" Wuxia shouted.

"YES, I’M THE SAME PERSON WHO FIGHTED YOU NEAR THE LAKE" Black replied.

"SO YOU’RE THE ONE WHO PLANNED THE REGENT’S ASSASSINATION?"

"HMM... SO TIKO TOLD YOU?" Black asked.

"YES" Wuxia replied.

"YES, I CONSPIRE WITH HIM, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, I FAILED TO KILL THE REGENT," Black said.

"IT SEEMS THE REGENT ALREADY KNEW OF THE PLAN AND FLED... I DON’T KNOW WHO TOLD HIM"

"SO, THE CONCLUSION I COME TO IS THAT YOU COLLABORATED WITH HIM BECAUSE YOU CAN ILLEGALLY TAKE THE LAKE WATER SO YOU CAN DEVELOP AIC-UNITS FOR FREE?" Wuxia asked.

"YES, THAT’S RIGHT, YOU’RE SO CLEVER, AHAHAHAHA~" Black replied.

"BY USING THE LAKE WATER, I CAN CREATE VARIOUS ROBOTS THAT CAN BE CONTROLLED BY THE AI. THAT WAY I CAN DESTROY THIS COUNTRY AND CONTROL ITS NATURAL RESOURCES, HAHAHAHA~!" Black continued in an excited tone.

"Well..." Wuxia muttered.

Wuxia began to crouch and assume her fighting stance.

"I WILL CAPTURE YOU!" Wuxia said with a stern expression and a heavy tone.

Black grinned.

"GO FOR IT IF YOU CAN!"

All the robots reactivated and immediately attacked them.

"SPIKE PLAN!" teriak Wuxia.

Squirrel Squad took 10 steps back, and each of them (the SquirrelBots too) immediately threw 10 spike bombs.

"BOOM!!... BOOM!!... BOOM!!..."

The explosions sent dozens of metal spikes flying in every direction, piercing the robots’ bodies. As the smoke began to clear, it became apparent that the robots hadn’t been destroyed. Instead, their bodies were riddled with spikes.

The Squirrel Squad members were shocked to see the robots’ eyes still glowing.

"AHAHAHAHA~ YOU THINK A BOMB WITH LITTLE IMPACT WILL EFFECT ON MY TROOPS?" Black asked condescendingly.

"NOW, IT’S MY TURN TO ATTACK!" Black said.

"CHARGE!"

As they took a step, several robots short-circuited.

"W-WHAT!? WHY ARE THEY NOT MOVING!?" Black asked in surprise.

Wuxia smiled.

"Looks like the paralyzing fluid is working," Wuxia said condescendingly.

"FLUID?—WAIT, DON’T TELL ME!" Black said in surprise.

"Yup, that’s right. It’s a salt solution mixed with a special chemical. Even a single drop can cause a short circuit in a robot because it can penetrate the protective coating wires" Wuxia said.

"FUCK!!! YOU BOUGHT THAT ITEM AT INDODARKSIDE, HUH?" Black asked angrily.

"Bought? No, we made it ourselves," Wuxia replied.

"WAIT A MINUTE... DON’T TELL ME YOU..." Black said.

"Looks like you know our organization, huh?" Wuxia said with a smile.

"HAHAHAHAH... SO IT’S SO, YOU’RE FROM THE DARMIA ORGANIZATION..." Black said.

"WHAT A COINCIDENCE, WE’RE ALSO LOOKING FOR YOUR HEAD. OUR FAMILY HAS BEEN DEVASTATED BECAUSE OF YOU!..."

"Family, you say?... Looks like they’re still hiding the truth, huh?" Wuxia muttered.

"... THAT’S WHY I’M GOING TO KILL YOU ALL!!!!" Black said with a grin.

There were 35 active robots left, and the robots began to move. The two large robots began throwing punches at the Squirrel Squad.

"EVERYONE DODGE!!!" Wuxia shouted.

All the members dodged, but the small robots soon attacked. The members quickly destroyed the small robots with their attacks. However, because the small and medium-sized elite robots were surrounding the small robots, the Squirrel Squad’ attacks were successfully blocked by the elite robots.

"I ALSO HAVE ELITE ROBOTS THAT CAN READ ALL ATTACKS" Black said.

The elites began to attack. Their speed was comparable to a Cheetah, making it difficult for the members to fend off their attacks.

"If they have robots, that means they have controllers..." Black muttered.

"...Alright, Let’s send some elites to attack their backline!"

Black began activating the AIC feature, then he spoke into the mic to give commands according to the robots’ names.

"HATORI AND KARASU, FIND THE CONTROLLERS USING THE H-CONTROLLID OBJECT!" Black commanded the two ninja robots.

Hatori and Karasu, humanoids with ninja designs and wearing demon masks. Hatori jumps onto his jet-powered flying saucer. The saucer detects Hatori’s leg sensors and activates its leg-locking feature. Karasu jumps and grabs the right leg of his crow drone.

"THIS IS BAD! BLOCK THEM!" Wuxia shouts.

Because they were so fast, the Squirrel Squad members couldn’t reach them, but four Squirrelbots managed to catch up with them from behind with their jump boots.

Hatori and Karasu stared at the Squirrelbots. They locked onto their targets with their eyes, then pointed their right hands at the Squirrelbots. From the tops of their wrists, they activated Hot Shuriken. The Hot Shuriken, having received a signal from Hatori and Karasu’s eyes, shot straight towards the Squirrelbots’ necks.

The two ninjas managed to escape their pursuit.

"Shit!" grumbled Jantho, who was controlling SL-7.

"SIS, SB-5, SB-6, SB-2, AND SB-7 HAVE BEEN DEFEATED!" Jantho announced over the earpieces.

Wuxia, who was fighting, was forced to retreat 10 paces to communicate.

"DAMN!... LAVENTIA, SEVERAL ENEMIES ARE COMING YOUR WAY, PREPARE TO FIGHT!" Wuxia shouted in panic.

Laventia and six others stepped forward to protect the controllers.

"LEAVE THEM TO US, SIS!" Laventia said enthusiastically.

Wuxia charged back into the battle area. As the 6-minute mark approached, she suddenly heard a shout come through her earpiece

"KYAA!!!... GYAA!!!... UGH!!!"

Hearing the scream, Wuxia was shocked.

"OI, ARE YOU GUYS ALL RIGHT?!—"

"BOOM!!!" an explosion sounded from the east.

Fire began to engulf the eastern area, making that side appear to be blazing. Wuxia was stunned to see it, while at the same time a groan was heard.

"U-UGH!... M-my arm is injured!" Lunaris said weakly clutching her right arm.

Wuxia gritted her teeth and immediately threw a smoke bomb. After that, she quickly retreated and hid behind a tree.

"YOU THINK YOU CAN HIDE FROM MY ROBOT?" Black asked.

Black began activating the Wall-Penetrating Radar, but unfortunately, the robot’s vision immediately blurred.

"Tch! Jammer+, huh?"

After that, she quickly looked back at her wristband and pressed the heart rate feature. Her eyes widened, seeing that four of her comrades had fallen, and then she also saw six Squirrelbots disappear from the radar, indicating they had been defeated.

"TCH! FUCK!!!" Wuxia said furiously.

She immediately emerged from her hiding place and charged back into the battlefield.

While Lunaris was cornered under a tree, an enemy attacked from his blind spot—her back.

"BANG!"

The bullet hit the enemy’s head, and Lunaris turned around.

"Oh my~, your speed is slowing down, my sweetie~" Calestina said over the radio.

"SHUT UP!..." Lunaris said in annoyance.

"UGH!!!... ARGHH!!!"

"Fuck Fuck Fuck!..." Wuxia grumbled, hearing the screams from her members.

Wuxia continued swinging her spear, struggling to move as the large robots continuously pounded the ground.

"Wuxia, leave it to me. I’ll take down that bigs" Calestina said.

"Okay, I’ll leave it to you" Wuxia said.

Calestina, who was in the middle row, was seen standing on a tree. She put on her long-range detection goggles. She stared at the robot’s head, and her vision allowed her to see inside. She saw a cuboid-shaped object.

"Brain location found!"

She then loaded a Garuda bullet. Once loaded, she aimed her sniper rifle at the robot on the right side.

"Alright, LET’S DESTROY YOUR HEAD!!!"

"BANG!... BANG!... BANG!"

Six bullets flew at high speed. All six managed to penetrate the head of the large robot on the right side. Black began to lose control of the robot, and the monitor displaying the robot’s vision began to slowly fade to black.

"DAMN!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT! I HARD TO BELIEVE THAT BULLETS CAN PENETRATE MY ROBOT’S THICK SKIN!" Black shouted in annoyance.

"B-Brother, are you okay?" White asked.

"BANG!... BANG!... BANG!"

Calestina didn’t stop, she fired at another robot. Black was even more shocked to immediately lose control of two of his large robots.

"BASTARDS!!! I’LL KILL YOU ALL!!!"
