Reboot: Mechanic

Chapter 330 OG 5

Upon the Iron Sentinel’s roof, Shi Tian readied himself.

His mechanical right arm glowed with a dense blue light as he charged the Light Beam.

The enhanced power of the emitter made his arm feel increasingly heavy. His tension mounted as he watched the battlefield, searching for the perfect moment.

“Come on, move out of the way already.” Shi Tian muttered softly. The Light Beam was going to be powerful, so he did not want to accidentally injure any of the soldiers.

He merely wanted to gain their attention, and not their enmity. But the only way to attract their attention was the center of the battlefield.

Continuously charging up the Light Beam, Shi Tian was beginning to feel a slight strain on his body, but he preserved. 𝙞𝒃𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝓸𝓶

“Just a little bit more…” He mumbled, his eyes narrowing as he glanced at the battlefield.

For some reason, even though he was quite far from the battlefield, his vision was still perfect, almost as if his eyes were equipped with binoculars.

After waiting for quite a while, Shi Tian finally found the opportunity.

With a deep breath, he unleashed the supercharged Light Beam, sending it right into the empty center of the battlefield.

The brilliant beam pierced the smoky air, rising high into the sky, visible to all. The soldiers on both sides, momentarily distracted from their fierce battle, gazed upward at the unexpected spectacle.

Once the Light Beam was released, white smoke began emitting from his mechanical right arm, and Shi Tian dropped down. Sitting at the top of the Iron Sentinel, Shi Tian was sweating profusely.

He had overestimated his strength and ability, and the backlash of producing such a heavy and powerful Light Beam was immeasurable.

And while he was recovering from the shockwave of the Light Beam, Mary subsequently drove the Iron Sentinel ahead to the battlefield.

Now that both sides of the soldiers realized there was a third party, they had temporarily stopped their battle.

As for Benedict and Phoebe, both of them held a solemn expression at the Iron Sentinel. It was clear that they had finally noticed the appearance of an unknown vehicle.

However, it didn’t take long for them to recognize the vehicle, given that they had done their own research beforehand.

“You’ve brought backup too?” Benedict glared intensely at Phoebe and asked in disbelief.

Having recognized the vehicle and that it was near Theobold’s camp, Benedict was utterly shocked that Phoebe would be so shameless to call for backup as well.

Was she really trying to bring out all their alliances on the battlefield?

“Hey, don’t you dare accuse me!” Phoebe raised an eyebrow and retorted. “Does it look like I’ve called for backup? This is private fighting, and I’m not shameless enough to need someone else to back me up.”

“Hmph, maybe if it was back then I would believe you. But who knows now since you have decided to ally with Theobold.”

“That was not my decision for the nth time I have told you. It was an order from the higher-ups and I can only comply.”

“Save the excuses to yourself.” Benedict snorted coldly. “Damon is already in ruin because of you two, and I can’t believe you’re willing to side with Theobold against us. We were the OG 5!!!”

OG 5, a simple term meaning the original gang of 5 people, namely Benedict, Samantha, Nancy, Phoebe, and Damon.

However, that OG 5 seemed to have been ruined now with Phoebe defecting to an outsider, and Damon’s reputation and position being at risk.

Phoebe rolled her eyes at the mention of OG 5. Of all the people on the list. It was only Benedict who actually cared about it and constantly mentioned it time and time again.

“Can you just stop it with the OG 5?” Phoebe asked irritatingly. “It’s cringe and no one uses that kind of terminology anymore.”

“For you, it’s cringe because you’re a traitor. But for me, it’s a great memory.” Benedict crossed his arms.

“Whatever, I’m going to see who shot that Light Beam earlier. Had it actually landed on my soldiers, then I would have suffered more casualties than needed.” Phoebe ignored his remark and focused her attention on the arriving vehicle.

Meanwhile, Benedict felt offended, given that he believed Phoebe was proclaiming that his soldiers were trash and couldn’t cause her to suffer more casualties.

“Hmph, with or without that Light Beam, you would have lost severely tonight,” Benedict shouted loudly, clearly wanting to showcase his ego and pride.

Unfortunately for Benedict, Phoebe had long gone ahead to meet with the arriving vehicle, completely ignoring Benedict.

Realizing he was being ignored, Benedict angrily signaled his soldiers to temporarily stop the fighting and to take a rest. As for the injured, they shall be healed by the medical team swiftly.

With the series of commands made, Benedict subsequently followed up ahead, temporarily putting the fight with Phoebe aside.

“Who are you people?” Phoebe, who was already up ahead, questioned with a hint of hostility in her eyes.

She didn’t order her soldiers to outright detain or shoot at them, mainly because of the Light Beam earlier. The forces in that Light Beam were no joke. She was positive that if the Light Beam were targeted at her soldiers, then they would have been obliterated or severely injured.

As Phoebe asked such a question, she noticed a person was sitting on top of the vehicle, seemingly exhausted.

Narrowing her eyes, she was able to increase her perception and recognize that person.

“Gavin– no, it should be Nathan… the mechanic of the Claymore Mines?” Phoebe murmured softly.

On the surface, Shi Tian used his alias Gavin to deceive the public, but for them with sufficient manpower, they only needed to investigate a little to realize his name was Nathan.

As for his actual name Shi Tian, no one else knew about it.

The Iron Sentinel continued to advance forward for a bit more before stopping, with almost all soldiers’ eyes on them.

A few minutes later, Mary got out of the vehicle with an aura of confidence.

“Rest assured, I’m not your enemy, but I’m just here to give you a word of advice.” She said in a cool manner.
