I write obituaries for the gods

"What are you fighting for? You're still a child."

Lin Chen smiled and gently patted Litty's head, saying softly:

"Since Litty is better than before, can you do me a favor?"

"What kind of help?" the little bird blinked.

"Help me protect Huihui," Lin Chen said. "You all need to help each other."

"Such an easy task?" Litty puffed out her cheeks slightly. "I can do even better! I can shoot down a helicopter!"

"Where would you get so many helicopters to shoot down?" Lin Chen was amused.

At this moment, Li Zhanyi pushed open the door and walked in, moving closer to Lin Chen.

There's a problem outside.

Lin Chen frowned slightly, nodded, and looked at the two girls again:

"Stay here obediently, I have some business to attend to. Be a good boy, okay?"

“Okay!” Litty nodded.

"Brother, be careful." Huihui was still a little shaken.

Lin Chen nodded slightly, then followed Li Zhanyi out of the encrypted room and into the passage.

"What happened?" he asked Li Zhanyi as he walked.

“Sister Xuanyi said that an army of androids has appeared in the wilderness of the Southern Development Zone,” Li Zhanyi said. “There is currently a standoff, and we don’t know what the other side is here for.”

"An army of androids?" Lin Chen's eyelids twitched slightly. "Doesn't United Concrete have an agreement with them?"

"It seems Mr. Iron Face isn't a good businessman after all," Li Zhanyi said softly.

The two of them took the elevator together and went down to the ground.

Upon entering the command center, I saw Shen Xuanyi and a group of workers gathered in front of a large screen, watching the images on it.

Lin Chen looked at the screen and saw an army of androids approaching over the wilderness.

"Xuanyi," Lin Chen walked to Shen Xuanyi's side, "What's going on?"

“Mr. Iron Face is approaching,” Shen Xuanyi said. “We are trying to make contact.”

At that moment, accompanied by a piercing sound, the communication channel was connected.

In one corner of the screen, Mr. Iron Face's steel face occupies most of the screen. He seems to be standing in the pouring rain, as if he were personally on the front line.

“What do you mean, Mr. Iron Face?” Shen Xuanyi turned the microphone over. “I thought…you wouldn’t invade our territory.”

“The Shen family,” Mr. Iron Face said sternly, “you seem to be hiding our enemy, the enemy of the Foundation.”

“You can name names; we are not hiding anyone,” Shen Xuanyi said.

“You’ve hidden Lin Chen, and you’ve hidden the two little girls who evacuated from Guter Street tonight,” Mr. Iron Face said. “Want to offer some excuses?”

The next second, a photo was sent and appeared on the screen.

On the screen, Lin Chen was talking to Shen Xuanyi, while two little girls were being taken off the helicopter.

There's a mole...

“Impossible…” Shen Xuanyi murmured.

“We may need you to hand over Lin Chen,” Mr. Iron Face said in a low voice. “You don’t want to confront the Dead Iron Army, believe me, you never will.”

"Are you going to completely break ties?" Shen Xuanyi's face darkened. "If so, news will spread like wildfire that you're building an underground tunnel right under the Foundation's nose."

"You're still too naive to threaten me with something like that."

Mr. Iron Mask sighed, and a ghostly blue light emanated from the eyes of his steel mask.

"Just consider it as your infiltration of Yudu, is that not allowed? Don't you like tunnel warfare?"

"Anyway... you've almost finished fixing it."

After Mr. Iron Face finished speaking, he immediately shut down the communication.

The next second, the observer shouted:

"Miss! They've launched a rocket!"

Shen Xuanyi frowned and immediately switched to the outdoor camera: rockets shot into the sky, flashing continuously through the rain.

On the city walls of the southern development zone, anti-aircraft guns began firing, intercepting rockets with maximum efficiency, yet countless still managed to slip through—

"boom!!!"

"boom!!!!!"

On the screen, fireballs expanded across the open field, blasting several breaches in the city wall.

Over those gaps, rocket after rocket aimed directly at the large bunker—

"Lie down!" Lin Chen shouted.

The next second, a violent shockwave struck—

"boom!!!!"

The people in the command hall were thrown to the ground, and gray smoke spread throughout the hall.

"Cough...cough cough..."

Lin Chen stood up, helped Li Zhanyi up, and then grabbed Shen Xuanyi's arm:

"Zhanyi, take Xuanyi to the underground bunker! I'll handle things here!"

"How are you going to solve this?!" Li Zhanyi shouted.

"Counterattack."

Lin Chen recalled what he had seen and heard when he visited the bunker. He knew that there were many cannons in the bunker.

If Mr. Iron Face insists on a fight to the death tonight, he'll gladly oblige.

"He's here to arrest me. I can draw their fire!" Lin Chen said. "Take care of yourself, okay?"

“Okay, I’ll take Xuanyi to the underground bunker.” Li Zhanyi nodded.

After the girls left, surrounded by the workers, Lin Chen glanced at a corner of the command room:

The explosion created a huge crater. Outside, torrential rain poured down, and under the inky black sky, the android army was crossing the border and stepping into the territory of the United Concrete.

They shot down everything they saw along the way—cows, sheep, people—anything that was alive was their target.

Behind the army of androids, rockets were launched into the sky again and again, heading towards the bunker.

Lin Chen turned and ran out of the command center, rushed into the elevator, and pressed the button for the top floor.

The elevator was halfway up when another violent impact struck—

"boom!!!"

The elevator shook violently a few times, almost causing Lin Chen to fall.

At the same time, the elevator lost power.

Lin Chen projected a shotgun and pulled the trigger towards his head:

"Oh!"

He blasted open the roof, jumped up, grabbed the elevator cable, and began to climb up little by little.

During the climb, waves of tremors kept hitting the bunker—the combined concrete seemed to have started to fight back, with the fixed guns firing and causing the entire bunker to shake.

Lin Chen climbed a considerable distance up the elevator, then pried open the elevator door and jumped inside.

As soon as he landed, several guns were aimed at him:

"do not move!"

Lin Chen turned his head and met Shen Tianhu's eyes.

Upon recognizing Lin Chen, Shen Tianhu immediately lowered his gun.

"Good lad, you've climbed up here," Shen Tianhu exhaled. "I thought you were an android."

"A robot has entered the bunker?" Lin Chen frowned.

"They came from the underground passage. There were several rounds of fighting just now, but luckily we won," Shen Tianhu said. "It's just that we were careful during construction; the underground passage wasn't directly connected to the underground bunker, so we still have an escape route. Where's Xuanyi?"

"Back to the underground bunker," Lin Chen said.

"That's good, then let's go all out."

Shen Tianhu patted Lin Chen on the shoulder, signaling him to follow.

Following Shen Tianhu, Lin Chen entered a small room with a huge map hanging on the wall, marking various facilities within the territory.

“The androids have already broken in, and their quadruped mechs are being loaded,” Shen Tianhu said, pointing at the map with a stick. “The surveyors have located the quadruped mechs. Those guys are very cautious; the quadruped mechs are quite far away, out of reach of conventional artillery.”

"When we signed the contract with Peak Group, in exchange for the condition that we would not be invaded, most of our lethal weapons were sent into underground bunkers. It will take some time to deploy them."

"It now seems that Mr. Iron Face intends to eliminate us before we have time to make preparations, leaving us no chance to resist."

After listening to Shen Tianhu's analysis, Lin Chen nodded and said:

What are your plans?

"Destroy their quadruped mechs, wipe out their main force, and once our lethal weapons are brought up from underground, we can launch a full-scale counterattack."

After Shen Tianhu finished speaking, he pointed to the map:

"The MZ-300 Azure Power Cannon, a little toy from Mozhu Technology, a treasure we found in the blockade zone. Its range is enough to blow up their quadruped mechs."

“I’ve seen this before,” Lin Chen nodded. “Why didn’t you use it before?”

“Because the road to the upper floors has been destroyed,” Shen Tianhu sighed. “Several brothers tried to climb up, but it was too difficult.”

“I can go,” Lin Chen said. “Is there a rope ladder?”

"Yes," Shen Tianhu quickly replied.

He waved his hand, and his men immediately searched the tool shed and brought back a rope ladder.

Lin Chen draped the rope ladder over his shoulder and walked toward the elevator shaft without saying a word.

"Boom..."

In the distance, explosions could be heard, and on the open field, workers were exchanging fire with an army of androids.

Every minute, every second, someone is dying.

Lin Chen leaped up and climbed the elevator rope, continuing to ascend.

He climbed to the designated floor, leaped, and swung an axe at the elevator door—

"clang!"

The axe got stuck in the door crack, and Lin Chen used all his strength to force the elevator door open.

After opening the door, he turned around and threw the rope ladder down.

"Come on up!" Lin Chen shouted.

Then he turned around and walked toward the platform equipped with the MZ-300 Blue Power.

At this moment, the bunker had been blown to pieces, and the corridor was drafty, with sparks from outside blowing in from time to time.

Lin Chen quickly located the weapons platform, but when he opened the door, he only saw a scene of utter chaos.

This room had clearly been targeted for bombing by the android army. It seems that the Pinnacle Corporation's spies marked this room, making it a bombing target in the early stages of the attack.

"Damn...damn..."

Shen Tianhu led a team into the platform, and when he saw the dilapidated main cannon, his face immediately darkened.

"That damn bastard..."

He knelt down in front of the main gun and examined the shattered hull.

"The breech is damaged, but the main shaft structure is still usable..." Shen Tianhu murmured. "Xiao Sun, do you have a spare breech?"

“It may take time to transport them up from the underground bunker.”

"time..."
