Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 248 The celebration begins

"It's a little stronger than I thought."

Song Shi leaned on the iron railing and raised his head.

The color of the sky at that moment was reflected in the young man’s pupils—

The dazzling light dyed the clouds like flowing gold, and from the gaps between the undulating clouds, pieces of sunlight poured down, coating the world with a layer of shining gold.

Airships painted in brand new orange are sailing around the city. On the advertising screens on both sides, huge holographic banners are dazzling, welcoming the arrival of passengers.

The flags that had long been hung all over the streets fluttered in the breeze, printed with golden patterns that symbolized the sun, one of the most traditional patterns in Rocard.

The flag is mixed with special reflective materials, and every time the sun shines on it, it will create a layer of brilliant ripples - they rise and fall in the wind, reminiscent of the undulating golden sea at sunrise.

The streets had already been filled with vendors, and the huge crowd was moving slowly, almost squeezed into a ball, but contrary to usual, there was no bloodshed.

Because there was a security policeman standing every hundred meters. These guys rarely appeared in the outer city area, fully armed and keeping a close eye on the surroundings.

Anyone who starts a conflict and cannot help but want to fight will be stared at, mainly by the latter who will begin to clench their weapons.

Upon seeing this, most of the former exchanged a few words in anger and then quickly disappeared into the crowd.

During the three-day Sun Celebration, Fubo Energy lifted a portion of the [Macro-State Light Energy Matrix] and opened up sunlight to the City of Forged Light, mainly the outer city area. All the people in the entire City of Forged Light could enjoy Groden's mercy.

"Maybe." Lapis Lazuli's voice sounded from the headset: "There is still one hour before reaching the target."

"Tsk, you Omnics, do you really have no artistic talent?"

Song Shi looked down at the street scene below. At this moment, he was standing in a cabin on a suspended iron trestle. "I have to say, this scenery is quite beautiful. Don't you have any feelings?"

"First of all, I am an omnic, and I don't have a cell structure." Lapis Lazuli said calmly, "Secondly, in sculpture, AI painting, instrument playing, literature, photography, etc., a total of twelve projects, my level should be 973% higher than yours."

Song Shi was choked, but didn't take it seriously.

He withdrew his gaze from below, and paused for a moment on a hovering bee drone in the distance before continuing to speak.

“It’s quite well laid out.”

The core of the Sun Festival is not located in any specific venue.

As per convention, a large stage airship will travel around the city within seven hours, escorted by Fubo Energy’s armed aerial formation.

——At this moment, there is still one hour before the stage airship called "Bordeaux" arrives here.

Bordeaux is the name of the sun god's chariot in Rocard mythology.

Of course, Fubo Energy will not wait until the stage airship arrives before deploying protection. They will clear obstacles on the route in advance and deploy security forces. These bee-like drone swarms hovering in the streets and alleys are one of the most obvious monitoring measures.

And apart from that.

Song Shi could feel it.

In the past half hour, at least three different gazes had lingered on him, causing his skin to feel a slight tingling sensation - they were probably snipers who had secretly taken up positions, made ready positions, and patrolled the entire area.

However, after standing in this pod for such a long time, I had a rough idea of ​​the positions of these people, so it was not a big deal.

Song Shi stretched slowly, then grabbed a handful of doughnuts from the bucket next to him and stuffed them into his mouth. At the same time, with the help of the temporarily implanted communication body, he was able to achieve a conversation that transcended language and directly transformed "consciousness" into "communication".

——Lip recognition is a basic function of monitoring. Of course, you can’t speak directly in front of so many drones.

"What do the others say?" he asked. "Everything is ready." Lapis Lazuli wrapped around Song Shi's wrist and replied through the same communication method: "This is also their problem. Half a minute ago, Myron asked me to ask you for the second time if you need help."

Song Shi chuckled.

To put it more bluntly, what the other party meant was, "If you have an accident and cannot break through the third ring on the spot, there is someone nearby who can help you out."

——Except Song Shi and Lapis Lazuli, this Sun Celebration sabotage team has a total of four people.

They were all masters with the strength of a fourth-level unit. There was no doubt that this was a powerful force that was enough to decide the situation on a medium-sized battlefield. However, if they wanted to destroy the stage airship in front of the entire city and retreat safely, this force seemed a little insufficient.

Myron was the leader of the group.

They did not gather in a group, but dispersed in an area with a radius of one kilometer, waiting for the arrival of the stage airship - for extraordinary units of this level, a distance of one kilometer is not much farther than one hundred meters.

Within easy reach.

"Should I say that they trust Chakoro too much, or too little?"

This kind of mission is to dance on the edge of a knife covered with boiling oil, and they are willing to choose to believe in the incredible plan of "promotion to the third ring on the spot" because of Chakoro - they believe in Song Shi's combat power, and admit that the latter's second-ring psychic power is enough to reach the strength of a fourth-level unit.

If Song Shi simply went into battle, they would not have any doubts at all, but would be extremely happy. However, on this basis, if they proposed the plan of "advancing to the third ring on the spot", it would be very likely that the action would be led in an uncontrollable direction.

Trying to advance while surrounded by so many enemies? If you fail to advance, it's not something that can be easily resolved by trying again next time. The power of the psychic will definitely decline severely in a short period of time!

This is why, even with Chakoro's endorsement and the operation about to officially begin, Myron still couldn't help but ask in a tactful way.

"What about you, Lapis Lazuli, do you want to join in the persuasion?" Song Shi clapped his hands.

Lapis Lazuli said simply, "It's not necessary."

"You have so much confidence in me?" Song Shi said with a smile: "Then I really am——"

"That's what you said to me when you fought Yu Jiyi." Lapis Lazuli said, "-'To be honest, can you have a little confidence in me?'"

At this moment, Song Shi raised his eyebrows and was really surprised.

The words that were about to be said turned around and were taken back.

Suddenly, Lapis Lazuli's voice sounded again, but this time, the omnic's tone was a little more serious.

"Song Shi, the 'Bordeaux' is coming! According to the speed assessment, it will reach the raid range in three minutes at the latest!"

No notification from Lapis Lazuli is needed.

There was a sudden burst of violent sound.

From the end of the distant sky, a fleet of specially modified and magnificent ships slowly broke through the sky, with the sacred and solemn statue of the prow opening its arms and heading towards this place in the sun.

Song Shi chewed the last piece of doughnut slowly and then threw the paper bucket down the cabin.

"Wait a moment." The young man pressed his index finger against his chest. Perhaps it was because the sun had appeared and the frost had dissipated, but from the touch of his fingertips, he could feel the scorching temperature gradually boiling there.

He chuckled and closed his eyes.

"I'm going to go see how 'I' will die, and I'll be right back."
