At the same time, but the crazy

Chapter 545 Breakthrough of Tianyuan
Night, in the wilderness

By the dim firelight, Zhang Qi looked at the thin animal hide in his hand. The supplies marked on it with charcoal were crooked and glaringly obvious.

It's almost empty again.

He exhaled a long breath, the stale air carrying a sense of oppression, dissipating across the desolate wasteland.

How much longer do we have to wait?
How long until Simon, the savior, appears?

He raised his head and looked up at the sky.

After watching this unfamiliar starry sky for ten years, I should be getting used to it by now.

It's been ten years.

He has been in this messed-up world for a full ten years.

When I first arrived, I was just a teenager, not quite grown up. Not only had my body shrunk, but I also suddenly had a younger sister named Yuko.

Their village, Lituna, is a village that has been nestled underground for generations.

After he painstakingly extracted this information from the villagers, and combined it with his memories from his previous life, Zhang Qi's face turned green on the spot.

This is undoubtedly the world of Gurren Lagann!

Rogerium the Spiral King drove humans underground like rats and created a race called Orcs, who piloted giant robots.

The goal is to kill all humans who can see the sky, which is why humans in this world can only live underground.

Until a hothead named Simon, who stole the show with his dazzling skills, defeated the Spiral King, and liberated all of humanity...

Then there's an even more powerful anti-spiral race that almost rebooted the universe.

The protagonist, Simon, naturally led his friends to use drills to destroy the heavens and ultimately save the universe.

Thinking about all this, Zhang Qi felt as conflicted as if he had been screwed over.

If that's the case, his adopted sister Yuko is very likely to be one of the future leading ladies.

What the hell is this!

He settled down temporarily in Lituna Village, his belly full of curses.

I thought I could survive until the main story started, cling to the protagonist's coattails, and retire behind the scenes to live a peaceful life.

Who would have thought that their peaceful life would last only a few days before the orcs, like a demolition crew, blew up the ceiling of their village.

The Spiral King's order is that any human who sees the sky must be killed without exception.

What else can I do?
To survive, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and, relying on his pitiful precognition and his knowledge as a modern person, lead the surviving villagers to escape.

Thus, relying on his foresight and the knowledge he possessed as a modern person, he led the surviving villagers to safety and unknowingly became the backbone of this group.

But that's all he can do...

After all, he's not some hot-blooded anime protagonist.

Go and fight the Spiral King to the death?
To wrestle with the Anti-Helix?

Let the main character handle this kind of thing...

"Zhang Qi-ge! How's the situation?"

The rough voice interrupted Zhang Qi's thoughts.

Dayaka's honest, dark face came closer, his eyes filled with a cautious inquiry.

"There's not much food left, so the hunting team will have to make another trip."

Zhang Qi sighed and replied.

In this godforsaken place, orcs swarm around like flies drawn to the smell of blood, making it impossible to peacefully engage in any agricultural activities.

For now, everyone's food depends on hunting by hunting teams.

"Don't worry, Zhang Qi! Leave these things to us!"
And Yuko is quite skilled now, her marksmanship is excellent!

Upon hearing this, Dayaka's dark face revealed a set of white teeth, and he patted his chest vigorously.

He paused, then, as if remembering something happy, grinned and said:
"Besides, don't we still have that big thing we snatched from the orcs?"

Things will definitely get better and better from now on!

Maybe……

Hearing this, Zhang Qi nodded. Thanks to his foresight, he had indeed managed to seize a Face from the orcs during a chaotic moment and miraculously made it work.

This thing did indeed give these desperate exiles a tiny, elusive hope.

however--

"Boom!"

A violent explosion suddenly came from in front of the camp, and the ground even began to tremble!

Zhang Qi's expression changed drastically, and his pupils contracted instantly.

"Orcs! It's an orc attack!"

He practically yelled, shoving the still-stunned Dayaka aside:

"Quickly! Organize everyone to evacuate! Quickly!"

Before the words were finished, several menacing black shadows appeared at the end of the darkness, accompanied by a grating metallic scraping sound.

One, two, three... a total of five enormous faceplates!

They were like demons crawling out of hell, blocking all their escape routes from several directions!
"How...how...how can there be so many?!"

Dayaka's face drained of all color instantly, and her voice trembled.

In the past, the orc patrols we encountered only had one or two enemy soldiers at most. When had we ever seen such a force!
Just then, the most menacing-looking unit emitted a processed, hoarse, and piercing electronic sound from its face and chest:
"Listen up, you scum of humanity!"

"Hand over the dignity you've been hiding!"

To surrender face?

Dayaka subconsciously turned her head to look at Zhang Qi, whose face was ashen.

"Oh shit!"

Zhang Qi spat angrily, his heart sinking to the bottom.

No matter how much they planned, they never expected that these beasts were after their beat-up car!

"Dayaka! Lead your men and break through through that back path! Get as many as you can!"

I'll go buy some time..."

Zhang Qi roared as he gave the order, his eyes fixed on the several enormous robots radiating a chilling killing intent in front of him.

He then turned around abruptly and ran madly toward an inconspicuous tent in the corner of the camp.

Inside the tent, a pungent smell of engine oil and metal welding filled the air.

A similarly enormous robot, but clearly repaired multiple times and looking rather shabby, stood there quietly.

The slender and flamboyantly dressed Li Long was holding a wrench and tapping on the robot's exposed mechanical arm.

"Zhang Qi? He's finally here..."

When Li Long saw Zhang Qi rushing in, a look of joy appeared on her face.

"Is it fixed?"

Zhang Qi, panting heavily, got straight to the point.

"We don't have enough materials, dear. The core of its right hand joint is too badly damaged; even a skilled cook can't make a meal without ingredients."

However, I took emergency measures, so there shouldn't be any major problems in the short term..."

Li Long frowned slightly, raised her delicate fingers, and said with a hint of helplessness.

"As long as we can move, that's fine! As long as we can buy some time!"
Lilong, you should leave as soon as possible too…

Zhang Qi nodded, said no more, and jumped directly into the dilapidated cockpit.

"Om-"

Accompanied by a somewhat labored mechanical whirring sound, Yanmian's single eye suddenly lit up.

Zhang Qi gripped the control stick tightly with both hands, maneuvering the machine to grab a huge iron rod as thick as a child's arm from the side.

With a somewhat worn-out face, he staggered out of the tent step by step.

Ahead, five menacing enemy vehicles stood ready to pounce...
