I write obituaries for the gods

"There are more than a dozen enemies in the hall, roughly at the three o'clock and eleven o'clock positions!" Litty said seriously. "Fully armed, with automatic rifles, and there are hostages!"

"So professional?"

Lin Chen muttered to himself, took out the subspace lens, and scanned the wall.

What Litty said is absolutely right.

"Where did you learn that?" Lin Chen glanced at Liti.

“The Responsible Telephone.” Litty said seriously.

Haha... a child's introduction to military studies...

Lin Chen chuckled and informed the guerrillas hanging beside him of the enemy's distribution, then began to assign tactics:

"We'll go in with the smoke bombs, prioritizing the protection of the hostages. These bastards are all celebrities from all walks of life in Rain City; their survival will be very useful."

"If they survive, won't it start another war?" asked the needle.

“Maybe, but if they all die, Yu will become a complete no-man’s land,” Lin Chen shook his head. “Even if they are a menace, we have to protect them tonight as a temporary measure. Of course, we will settle accounts with them later.”

"Understood." Embroidery Needle's fist clenched slightly.

“I’ll provide cover,” Li Zhanyi said, pulling out a grenade launcher. “Ready?”

"Prepare."

Lin Chen took out his shotgun and checked the magazine.

"Three, two, one."

"emission."

"Bang bang!"

Li Zhanyi and several guerrillas fired smoke grenades, and white smoke spread rapidly throughout the hall.

"Liti, stay close to me!" Lin Chen said. "Don't fire first. I'll try to draw everyone's attention. Only fire when someone notices you. Don't hurt the hostages."

"I play Rainbow Six Siege!" Litty retorted.

That's why I'm worried.

Lin Chen pushed off the glass with force, adjusted his direction, and rushed directly into the crack.

As soon as he landed, he cut the rope and rushed out with his shotgun in hand.

As the smoke spread, the celebrities bound in the room were thrown into panic. The android soldiers stood beside them, rifles raised, aiming motionless at the smoke.

Since a hole was torn in the outer wall, these androids have taken over the 79th floor, and it seems they are preparing to take them hostage.

The life or death of the hostages was not that important to Mr. Iron Mask, and even less important to the androids of the Dead Iron Army.

Just as the celebrities awaited the outcome in terror, suddenly, a burst of fire exploded amidst the smoke—

"Oh!"

Every time a gunshot is heard, an android will fall to the ground, shot in the head or chest.

The remaining androids continued to use their visual modules to locate enemies, but the warm smoke interfered with their heat source modules, forcing them to rely on outdated optical aiming.

Therefore, they are always one step behind.

"Oh!"

"Bang bang!"

Lin Chen ran at high speed through the smoke, constantly raising his gun to fire and continuing to run.

He quickly eliminated the first batch of androids, but more reinforcements followed.

"Liti, watch out for bullets!" Lin Chen shouted as he ran.

"You can't hurt me!"

Liti was holding up a small pistol, which she had obtained from Li Zhanyi through persistent pleading, under the guise of "protecting Huihui."

She followed behind Lin Chen, sometimes running, sometimes flying, but she never had a chance to fire a shot.

"I can't fire the gun..." Litty said anxiously.

When she played games with Huihui, she always played the first position and shot from start to finish. Now she felt like she was a burden.

So, Liti simply distanced herself from Lin Chen and continued searching for the enemy in the smoke.

Finally, she saw an android that Lin Chen hadn't had time to deal with.

"Shoot me!" Litty shouted, "Here, here!"

The android reacted, its pale face turning to Litty as it raised its gun.

Before it could even fire, Litty raised her gun and shot—

"Oh!"

One shot to the head and eye, instant kill!

"yeah!"

Litty gave a peace sign, and at that moment, several more gun barrels emerged from the smoke, pointing directly at her.

She flipped over, her wings flapping as she spun around, and flew away to dodge a burst of gunfire.

"Bang bang bang-"

Litty glided low past the three androids, firing three shots in the process, and the three androids fell to the ground.

She landed, looked up, and saw the embroidery needle staring at her.

Although this young lady was wearing a bronze mask, Litty guessed that her eyes were wide open.

"Impressive, right!" Litty exclaimed proudly. "Wasn't I spot on?"

"Oh!"

A bullet flew past her and hit the android who rushed out from the side to ambush her.

Litty turned her head and saw Lin Chen holding a shotgun.

"Don't chat while we're fighting!" Lin Chen shouted. "Follow me, follow me!"

"coming!"

Litty winked at the embroidery needle, then immediately followed Lin Chen.

Watching Litty disappear into the smoke, Embroidery Needle scratched his head.

"Your family even keeps a demon pill like this..."

"Oh!"

With Lin Chen and Li Ti focusing their attacks, all the androids at the elevator corridor entrance were wiped out.

Right now, the two men, one tall and one short, are pressed against the wall, reloading their guns.

"Why are you playing around like this?" Lin Chen glanced at Liti, who was still having a great time. "Didn't you say someone noticed you were playing?"

“A lot of people have noticed me,” Litty replied earnestly.

"You deliberately made yourself noticeable, didn't you..."

As Lin Chen was complaining, Li Zhanyi, who was leaning against the wall at the other end of the corridor, put down her tablet and nodded at Lin Chen.

"Senior Hana has already hacked into the surveillance system. She has turned off all the blast doors, so no more androids will get close."

"It seems Mr. Iron Face has been locked in a dead end," Lin Chen nodded.

He pressed the headset and said:

"Embroidery Needle, how is the hostage's condition?"

“We’ve taken over,” said Embroidery Needle. “We’ll hold this position, so you can proceed with confidence, senior.”

"receive."

Lin Chen adjusted the frequency of the conversation and continued:

"Sky Fortress, be alert for all flying objects. If Mr. Iron Face tries to escape, attack him immediately and notify us."

"receive."

“He wouldn’t be stupid enough to run away,” Li Zhanyi said. “Little Liti’s outburst just now must have scared him half to death.”

"Besides, he still has some self-respect," Lin Chen chuckled.

After checking their weapons, the two rushed into the corridor at Lin Chen's command.

"Oh!"

"Bang bang!"

After dealing with the last few androids guarding the corridor, Lin Chen arrived at the elevator leading to the 80th floor.

"A private elevator, how luxurious."

Lin Chen took out the black card that Mr. K had given him and swiped it in the elevator.

"drop!"

The elevator doors opened, revealing a spacious area.

The three of them entered the elevator together, and Lin Chen pressed the only floor button in the elevator: the 80th floor.

"Buzzing..."

The elevator began to ascend, and Lin Chen turned his head and gently patted Litty's head:

"how do you feel?"

"It's so much fun!" Litty exclaimed excitedly. "It's just like playing a video game!"

“This isn’t a video game,” Lin Chen shook his head. “You’re only facing androids this time, but what if you were facing real people?”

"A real person..."

Litty lowered her head, thought for a moment, and then raised her head very seriously.

“I’m a little scared,” she said honestly, “but if it’s a bad guy, I’ll beat him!”

Liti was much smarter than Lin Chen. She was neither the kind of innocent naiveté that was too clear to be foolish, nor the kind of reality that was permeated by worldly concerns.

Lin Chen nodded and then patted Litty's head.

"This is a battlefield, not a place for children. Even if Litty is very capable, she is still only a middle school student."

"It's ok."

Litty shook her head vigorously.

"I want to fight alongside Brother Lin Chen!"

Lin Chen felt that he couldn't do any psychological work on this girl for the time being. Since she had the Azure Coating, he might as well let her do whatever she wanted.

The azure coating is so strong that even whale-shaped projectiles can withstand it. Lin Chen really doesn't think anything on a physical level can harm Litty.

"Ding!"

The elevator doors slowly opened, and a stuffy atmosphere rushed out, like the scent of wood mixed with a hint of disinfectant.

Lin Chen stepped out of the elevator and was greeted by a huge vaulted space.

Lin Chen's first impression of the 80th floor, which had never been open to the public, was that it was an art museum.

But he quickly dismissed his own assumption: the exhibition here not only features paintings, but also many ancient artifacts.

These exhibits are placed in various cabinets, which are arranged in a very free manner throughout the hall, like stalactites in a cave.

"Stay vigilant."

Lin Chen raised his gun and led the charge forward.

“Van Gogh’s Sunflowers…” Li Zhanyi looked at the exhibits in the display case, “Munch’s The Scream, Dali’s The Persistence of Memory…”

"Are they all genuine?" Lin Chen frowned.

“I don’t know, these paintings all belong to major art museums,” Li Zhanyi shook his head, “but…would a place of this caliber really display fake paintings?”

"of course not."
