I write obituaries for the gods

"Oh!"

"clang!"

Lin Chen suddenly raised his hand, his trench coat blocking the cold gunshot coming from the darkness.

Sure enough, it's here.

His brow furrowed, and then he vanished into the darkness in a flash.

"..."

From the darkness, figures wearing bronze masks emerged, each holding a pistol.

"Tiedan, the target is missing. Is there any trace of him?"

"Searching... on my end..."

Tie Dan disappeared before he could finish speaking.

"Tie Dan?"

"Three o'clock! Embroidery needle! Ahhhhh!"

The embroidery needle suddenly turned its head and saw that its companion had fallen to the ground, motionless.

"Baiyun! Are you alright?!"

The embroidery needle, holding a pistol, slowly approaches the white clouds...

The cold muzzle of a gun was pressed against the back of her head.

"Don't move."

Lin Chen stood behind the embroidery needle, holding a shotgun.

"Throw away the gun," Lin Chen said softly.

The embroidery needle remained silent for a moment, then released its grip, and the pistol fell to the ground.

"Did you kill Dr. Andy Grant?" Lin Chen asked.

"none of your business!"

The next second, Embroidery Needle suddenly turned around, grabbed the barrel of the shotgun with one hand, lifted it up, and at the same time punched Lin Chen's elbow.

But her wrist was almost immediately gripped tightly by Lin Chen—

"Uh!"

The embroidery needle stared painfully at those dark blue eyes in the darkness, its body trembling uncontrollably.

"you..."

"If I wanted to kill you, you'd already be dead," Lin Chen said softly, "The Rain Town Guerrilla?"

"You...kill me..."

They really are unyielding to the death.

Lin Chen stared at the girl in front of him and said softly:

Do you know Old Catfish?

"Old... um?"

She stared at Lin Chen for a long while, then whispered:

"Oh! You're that...that Commander-in-Chief's good friend? The one who killed Rambo!"

The embroidery needle looked at Lin Chen, as if it recognized him.

Lin Chen let go of her hand, and the girl awkwardly took two steps back, rubbing her wrist repeatedly.

"Ouch...it hurts so much!"

The embroidery needle flicked its wrist, revealing its true form.

She was fairly pretty, with some of the facial features of the people of Rain Town that Lin Chen didn't know how to describe.

"The flood washed away the Dragon King's temple, oh dear, you've hit the wrong person, senior..."

“You attacked me first,” Lin Chen sighed. “Luckily, I saw the mask and didn’t kill him, otherwise the bronze mask would be blaming me.”

"Bronze mask? Oh right, that kid became your godson, huh?"

The embroidery needle chuckled and stretched out its hand towards Lin Chen:

“Embroidery Needle, leader of Team V of the Rain Town Guerrilla Team, reporting for duty! We came to the hospital to collect supplies. We learned from the survivors how evil the hospital director was, so we killed him.”

"You guys are pretty good. You managed to kill him secretly, and the soldiers at the gate didn't even know he was dead." Lin Chen nodded.

"Of course, I pretended to be a patient and took care of him on the operating table."

At this moment, the two guerrillas who had been knocked unconscious by Lin Chen stood up in a daze, somewhat confused about the situation.

Embroidery Needle quickly explained to them, while Lin Chen walked over to Grace Brown's body and checked the phone.

The hacking process has ended, and information about a "high-power subspace transmitter" has been successfully retrieved from the database.

Lin Chen stared at the screen for a while, his brows gradually furrowing.

"Damn it," he muttered under his breath.

Grace's personal database shows that after the civil war between Peak Group and Mozhu Technology ended, all the high-tech equipment was transferred to the Yudu Star TV Tower.

In other words, all the "high-power subspace transmitters" were also transferred there.

This is truly the worst-case scenario; under the current circumstances, the Rain City Star TV Tower is probably the most dangerous place in the entire Rain City.

If it were just Mr. Iron Mask and a few demigods, Lin Chen could handle them, but the problem is...

"Senior, it's raining! Those with umbrellas need to go into the village!"

Lin Chen turned his head and saw the embroidery needle running over.

He understood the meaning of the guerrilla code: the enemy is coming.

"The Dead Iron Army?" Lin Chen asked.

"Yes." The embroidery needle nodded vigorously.

The Dead Iron Army, Mr. Iron Face's private army, is a mechanized, bionic force controlled by AI.

This legion is the biggest obstacle to entering the Rain City Star TV Tower.

“It seems that Peak Group has already discovered us,” Lin Chen said. “Let’s go and make a few holes in their umbrellas.”

"Oh, you even know the secret code. You're definitely one of us."

Led by Lin Chen, several guerrilla fighters and he took the elevator to the first floor.

"Ding!"

The moment the door opened, a densely packed army of androids came into view.

"Zhanyi, assemble at the evacuation point in five minutes." Lin Chen pressed his earpiece.

"receive."

"Guerrilla fighters, let me see what you're capable of."

Lin Chen turned his hand, and the muzzle of the shotgun pointed forward.

"Show them your strength."

Chapter Nine: Recruiting/Forming Alliances (6000 words)

"Oh!"

"Bang bang!"

Lin Chen pulled the trigger at the android at his feet, and its head was blasted into a pile of green fragments.

He flung the magazine aside, a glint of dark blue flashing in his eyes, and six super-alloy armor-piercing rounds were projected into the magazine.

The battle ended in two minutes, without any suspense.

Lin Chen looked around and saw five guerrillas checking their weapons, seemingly quite at ease.

In the battle just now, they demonstrated excellent teamwork – the two guerrillas who were on lookout at the door had set up traps in advance, and together with Lin Chen, they wiped out the android army in one fell swoop, cleanly and efficiently.

"This is good stuff."

The embroidery needle cut open the android's arm and pulled out a circuit board from inside.

"The aiming module uses visual image recognition to achieve automatic adsorption. Haha, they're incredibly accurate."

"Just like Nikita's AI, its accuracy is inhuman," Baiyun muttered to himself.

"You still play 'You Can Never Escape Novinsk'?" Lin Chen asked in surprise.

"Come on, we're not all old fogies like Old Catfish," Embroidery Needle chuckled. "Let's go to your evacuation point and find a place to exchange intelligence."

"Let's go."

Lin Chen slung the shotgun over his shoulder, then suddenly turned around and threw the super-alloy axe towards the door—

"Om-"

"Crack!"

The axe struck the android who rushed into the doorway squarely in the forehead, causing it to slip and fall backward to the ground.

"Go through the back door," Lin Chen said.

He reached out and beckoned back the axe, then led the guerrillas toward the hospital's back door—

"Bang!"

After breaking down the door, two helicopters were seen parked on an open space not far away, and androids were jumping off the helicopters in an orderly fashion.

They spotted Lin Chen and his group almost simultaneously and raised their guns—

"Bang!!!"

A bullet accurately hit the helicopter's fuel tank, and a violent fireball exploded instantly, engulfing all the androids that were nearby.

As for those further away, they lost their balance and fell to the ground.

Lin Chen raised his head and looked at the buildings in the distance: a flash of light quietly appeared between the buildings.

"This way."

Lin Chen and his guerrillas charged through the streets and alleys, firing their guns from time to time to deal with the seemingly endless army of androids.

After passing through a pile of ruins, the group rushed into a small basketball court.

"Zhanyi, we've arrived." Lin Chen pressed the earpiece.

"coming!"

A figure descended from the roof using a rope—it was Li Zhanyi.

As she approached Lin Chen, she slung the sniper rifle over her back.

"Huh? Why are there so many people?" Li Zhanyi was taken aback.

“The people destined for the Rain Town guerrillas,” Lin Chen said, “let’s take them into Water Ditch City first.”

"Waterlogged City?" Embroidery Needle's eyes widened slightly. "Really? You're hiding in that kind of godforsaken place? Won't you get corrupted?"

"There's always a way out, let's go."

Lin Chen walked to a dilapidated telephone booth and knocked on the door five times.

Then he opened the door, and a cold light burst forth from it—

"Buzzing..."

Led by Lin Chen, the group passed through the phone booth and entered the cold, waterlogged city.

The embroidery needle looked around curiously and found that it was a dilapidated basement with various broken wooden barrels, oil cans and the like.

"I suddenly feel a tightness in my chest," the embroidery needle muttered. "Shall I take a break?"

“It depends on whether you need it or not,” Lin Chen looked at Li Zhanyi, “Zhanyi?”
