Evolving infinitely from ground zero

Chapter 240: 166, it’s time to make a move_2

Zhang Kai ignored him and turned to look at Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan, asking, “Zi Chen, Xiao Shen, what do you think?”

Lin Zichen: “I’ll go with Han Han’s opinion.”

Shen Qinghan hesitated for a moment before saying, “Why don’t we give it a try? Maybe we’ll make it through.”

It was a surefire way to clear the level.

With Lin Zichen present, failure was not an option.

But Shen Qinghan couldn’t just say that outright.

She could only pretend to be hesitant and suggest to everyone to give it a try.

Seeing Shen Qinghan suggest trying, Zhao Yuanzhong’s mouth twitched, and he looked at Zhang Kai and shouted, “I, Shen Qinghan, and Lin Zichen all agree to try. The vote is 3 to 2, the minority follows the majority!”

Zhang Kai had no choice but to agree.

Zhao Yuanzhong began to formulate an attack plan, shouting at the top of his voice:

“I and Lin Zichen are in the best condition, so we’ll attack the robots. Zhang Kai is in a worse state, so he’ll cover with the two girls. How does everyone feel about that?”

“No objections!”

“I have no objections either!”

“…”

Everyone agreed to this attack plan.

Once everyone had agreed, Zhao Yuanzhong shouted out loud:

“Begin the action!”

The moment his words fell, he picked his moment and rapidly approached the robot from the left flank.

Lin Zichen, understanding the plan, flanked from the right without hesitation.

Zhang Kai, a Mechanically Modified Human, timely launched a special smoke grenade from behind to cover them.

The purple smoke emanating from the smoke grenade effectively shielded their heat signatures from the robot’s sensors.

Shen Qinghan and Shangguan Yueying, the two girls, were also busy.

The former remotely controlled the liquids inside the robot’s body.

The latter tried hard to create distractions, aiming to attract the robot’s attention and draw its fire.

Under their cover.

Soon, Zhao Yuanzhong and Lin Zichen successfully got close to the robot.

Zhao Yuanzhong gave Lin Zichen a signal, indicating that they should go together.

Lin Zichen nodded, signaling that he understood.

1!

2!

3!

Zhao Yuanzhong sequentially raised three fingers, then gestured “go”, and his whole body charged out, heading straight for the robot in front of him.

Almost at the same moment, Lin Zichen exploded with the speed of an ordinary eighth level, rushing towards the robot as well.

“Bang!”

Zhao Yuanzhong fiercely punched the robot’s head, producing a crisp impact sound.

Then, a loud “ah” was heard.

Zhao Yuanzhong felt his finger bones break, and he cried out in pain, his face contorted with agony.

The robot’s head was extremely hard; ordinary eighth-level strength could not cause it any significant damage.

“Bang!”

Another sound quickly followed.

Lin Zichen’s foot swept across the robot’s waist, causing the robot to shift slightly.

But that was all; it caused no substantial harm.

The power of a newly-attained ordinary eighth level was completely insignificant in front of the robot, no different from a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

“This robot’s strength is at least at the peak of the ordinary eighth level. We can’t break through its defense right now; we need to recover our strength first!”

Having retreated to take cover, Zhao Yuanzhong called out loudly to Lin Zichen.

Just now, during the second level, he was electrified too many times. His muscles were damaged and hadn’t fully recovered, so he could not perform to his full strength.

His thought was to keep engaging the robot slowly, wait for some strength to recover, and then attempt another attack.

While he was thinking this.

The robot lowered its arms, stopping the barrage of fire, and instead pulled out the large machete from behind, switching to melee mode.

“Whirr!”

A sound of air bursting echoed.

The robot activated two reverse airflow propulsion devices on its feet, and in a flash, it charged in front of Zhao Yuanzhong and swung down its blade.

“F*ck!”

Zhao Yuanzhong cursed, quickly dodged to the side to avoid the blow.

The metal cover he was behind was not so lucky and was cleaved into two pieces.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yuanzhong broke into a cold sweat on the spot.

“Whirr!”

Once more, the sound of air bursting was heard.

The robot shifted its target and charged fiercely toward Lin Zichen, bringing its blade down in a swinging motion.

Lin Zichen’s reaction was incredibly fast, and he dodged out of the path of the blade just before it could land.

“Whirr!”

The robot once again flashed its form, rushing towards Shen Qinghan in front.

Shen Qinghan wasn’t fast enough to dodge and couldn’t avoid the attack.

Seeing this, Lin Zichen immediately flashed forward, charging over with a flying kick that sent the robot reeling back two body lengths, causing its strike to miss.

“Buzz!”

The robot, after adjusting, immediately charged toward the nearby Shangguan Yueying, choosing to target her.

Its attacks were designed to hit everyone equally, never attacking the same person in succession.

“Be careful!”

Zhao Yuanzhong shouted loudly.

At the same time, he forcefully pushed off with his calf, catapulting himself forward like a cannonball.

Then, with a loud “bang,” he slammed into the robot, sending it flying several body lengths away and successfully saving Shangguan Yueying.

After the robot adjusted, it charged toward Zhang Kai on the other side, with its knife ready.

Zhang Kai, being clever, immediately rolled into a nearby cloud of purple smoke, blocking the robot’s thermal sensing and causing it to lose its target.

“Captain, we can’t make it through, let’s just give up!”

Shangguan Yueying didn’t want to play anymore and considered surrendering.

Zhao Yuanzhong thought back to the scene where the robot had split a barricade in two with a single slash and also felt a bit scared.

But, after thinking it over and not willing to give up yet, he shouted to Shangguan Yueying, “Let’s try one last time. If it still doesn’t work, then we’ll quit!”

“Fine!”

Shangguan Yueying agreed reluctantly.

The other three had no objections, agreeing to this final attempt.

They quickly coordinated their attack with an unspoken understanding.

They launched their offensive at the robot.

However, before they were fully organized, the robot preemptively struck.

A valve suddenly opened on the robot’s chest, revealing a suction device that instantly absorbed all the surrounding purple smoke.

Without the cover of the purple smoke, the robot’s thermal sensing was fully restored.

“Buzz!”

The sound of whistling through the air resonated.

The robot, moving faster than ever, lunged at Shen Qinghan, who posed the most threat to it.

It could distinctly sense that Shen Qinghan could manipulate the various liquids inside its body, causing no small trouble for its operations.

“Be careful!”

Zhao Yuanzhong yelled as a warning.

As he shouted, he took a large step forward at lightning speed, darting toward the robot to prevent it from attacking Shen Qinghan.

But the robot was too fast, and he simply couldn’t make it in time to save her.

“It’s over!”

Zhao Yuanzhong thought to himself.

Zhang Kai and Shangguan Yueying felt the same.

Just as the three of them thought Shen Qinghan would be chopped down by the robot’s fierce slash,

Lin Zichen miraculously appeared beside Shen Qinghan, pulled her away with one hand, and she narrowly dodged the slash.

The three observers were shocked by this scene. Lin Zichen was that fast?

“Buzz!”

The familiar sound of slicing air rang out again.

This time, the robot switched its focus to Lin Zichen, leaped high from the ground, and viciously swung its large cleaver down towards him mid-air.

Facing this explosive slash, Lin Zichen didn’t even try to dodge; instead, he threw his fist out powerfully.

He felt it was about time.

It was time to clear this level.

“Bang!”

A thunderous noise sounded.

Lin Zichen’s fist struck the robot squarely in the chest.

He punched it so hard that it flew backward,

and with a “bang,” smashed into the ceiling,

creating a hole above and leaving its head poking through, its half body stuck and swaying precariously.

Down below the ceiling,

Zhao Yuanzhong, Zhang Kai, and Shangguan Yueying all stood there stunned.

Their eyes were wide open, faces filled with shock.

What just happened?

A simple punch sent the robot flying?

How could that be possible?!

They all thought they were seeing things or dreaming!

The three refused to believe what they were seeing.
