Embers Ad Infinitum

Hearing the team leader's shout, Long Yuehong hurriedly turned to Gnawa and said:

"Follow me."

After saying that, he turned around and jumped out of the broken window.

Gnawa glanced at the law robot on the ground and followed closely behind.

At the same time, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao ran across the green lawn along the route they came from, towards the Jeep parked not far away.

The door of the jeep was open and the vehicle was moving slowly.

With a strong push of their feet, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao jumped into the passenger seat and the other rushed into the back row.

Bai Chen stepped on the accelerator hard, causing the jeep's speed to increase suddenly.

The car quickly returned to the spacious road, and after a slight circle, Long Yuehong and Gennava, who were confused by the multi-functional surveillance camera, just arrived here, passed through the door deliberately left by Shang Jianyao, and drove directly onto the road at a high speed. Less Jeep.

Bang!

The car door is closed.

According to the pre-made plan, Bai Chen did not let the jeep return to Hedong, but drove to an area west of Hexi where few robots live.

This was the route they took into Tarnan, except now they were traveling in the opposite direction.

Just a few dozen seconds after the jeep was driven, the siren sounded, echoing throughout Tarnan.

Immediately afterwards, the multifunctional surveillance camera on the roadside made a sound:

"Stop immediately or risk the consequences!"

Bai Chen seemed not to have heard the warning. Not only did he not press the brakes, but he also stepped on the accelerator harder.

From the simulated engine sound, the Jeep was driving as if it was about to fly off the ground.

"Stop immediately or risk the consequences!"

The multifunctional surveillance camera issued two warnings in a row.

The "Old Tune Group" ignored it completely.

The next second, part of the camera extended its muzzle and started firing.

Bullets shot out one after another, or hit the car window glass, or hit the rubber tires, or were blocked by the thick armor, but they failed to cause effective damage to the modified Jeep.

Amidst the hail of bullets and sparks flying, the Jeep, which had not slowed down at all, rushed out of Hexi and out of Tarnan.

"Exciting!" Shang Jianyao praised.

Gennava, who was sitting in the middle of the back row, looked at him with some confusion, not quite understanding why he felt this way:

"They'll catch up soon."

This refers to the members of the Law Robots, Tarnan Robot Guards and the corresponding auxiliary battle robots.

"Don't worry, we have a plan." Jiang Baimian comforted Gnawa.

Then, she smiled slightly and said:

"But, we still need you to give us some guidance. You must know the terrain around Tarnan better than we do."

"Okay." Gennava responded.

Next, although the road was not very smooth, Bai Chen still drove the jeep very fast.

This made Jiang Baimian couldn't help but praise:

"Xiao Bai, if you participate in the mountain cross-country competition in the old world, you will definitely win the championship."

"Don't talk." Bai Chen replied expressionlessly.

"Oh." Jiang Baimian didn't distract her anymore.

At this time, Long Yuehong had only one idea:

"How does the team leader know about any mountain cross-country competitions in the old world?"

Shang Jianyao lowered his voice and said quietly:

"She secretly watched a lot of Old World dramas at night while we were sleeping, wearing headphones."

Long Yuehong suddenly realized.

"Ah? What did you say?" Jiang Baimian raised his hand and pressed his ear.

The silver-black intelligent robot Gnawa looked left and right, and couldn't help but ask:

"Aren't you nervous?"

Shang Jianyao immediately answered his question:

"Everything is a fantasy, why take it seriously?"

He also imitated Zhou Yue and Zhou Guanzhu, half-lying his body and raising his arms slightly to pay tribute to the "broken mirror" in the void.

"..." Gennava suddenly felt that this group of people was not very reliable, well, except for driving money.

As expected of the captain!

Jiang Baimian, who was in the passenger seat, did not look back and simply explained:

"At this time, tension is of little significance. It is enough to keep it within a certain level so that the corresponding hormones can be secreted."

"Indeed." Gennava briefly analyzed and accepted this statement.

Shang Jianyao looked back and asked curiously:

"You intelligent people don't feel nervous?"

"Our core module will simulate a similar feeling, but the main purpose is experience." Gnawa answered truthfully.

While they were talking, the stumbling Jeep rushed to the bridge upstream and quickly crossed it.

Driving some distance further, you will reach the Chiral Mountains.

Long Yuehong glanced at the slightly thin bridge behind her and couldn't help but suggest:

"Team leader, do you want to blow up this bridge?"

He felt that this could effectively delay the Robot Guard's pursuit.

"No need." Jiang Baimian replied quickly, "They should all have jet devices and can fly directly across the river without the help of a bridge. Moreover, the bridge is not high and the water is not deep in winter. They are completely Can climb down and cross over.”

Of course, if the robot guards adopt the latter method, it will indeed delay a certain amount of time, but not too much.

On the other side, if the "Old Adjustment Team" wants to blow up the bridge, it cannot be done by firing two or three rockets from a single rocket launcher. It needs to install explosives at the corresponding positions and finally detonate them together with the rockets.

This will take quite some time.

To sum up, it is not necessary.

As soon as Jiang Baimian finished speaking, Gnawa suddenly said:

"accelerate!"

He relied on his "comprehensive early warning system"-like device and his understanding of the robot guards to discover some clues in advance.

At the same time, Jiang Baimian also sensed the arrival of his pursuers.

Bai Chen didn't ask. Regardless of the dilapidated road ahead and the numerous rocks, he just kicked the accelerator to the bottom.

In the simulated sound of "Woo", the Jeep jumped forward a lot.

During this process, the vehicle was almost hit by a stone and sent flying.

Almost at the same time, firelight flickered, and artillery shells rose from the other side of the river, densely covering the area.

Boom! Boom!

Most of these shells landed far away from the jeep, on the bridge.

Amidst the huge, serial explosions, the bridge could not withstand such a blow and shook violently.

Finally, it broke into several pieces and collapsed.

This... Long Yuehong was stunned when he saw it, and for a moment he doubted whether the intelligent robots that were chasing him were all infected with the virus, so that their positioning was wrong and their attacks were a little inaccurate. The biggest threat to the jeep was the air wave that spread over.

They even accomplished what Long Yuehong wanted to do but failed to do:

Bring down that bridge!

Shang Jianyao turned around, looked across the river through the rear window, and said with a smile:

"It's Alpha and the others who are coming."

Shang Jianyao’s friend Alpha Stuart.

Upon hearing this, Gennava turned his neck 180 degrees.

He saw familiar faces and familiar machines.

The members of the Robot Guard seemed to be arguing about something while rushing towards the collapsed bridge, and they did not make up their mind to cross the river directly using jet equipment.

This method is indeed easy to be shot down in mid-air.

Gennava looked at this scene in silence and didn't speak for a long time.

These intelligent robots really look like humans... Jiang Baimian sighed secretly.

At this time, Bai Chen had let the jeep enter the Chilar Mountains, and the terrain became increasingly complex.

Gennava finally withdrew his gaze and made his own suggestion:

"You can send a rocket over there."

He was referring to a stretch of road that looked a bit fragile.

The direction of the jeep's driving is to go around the fork road.

Jiang Baimian understood Gnawa's thoughts as soon as he thought about it, and nodded immediately:

"good."

Gnawa was trying to mislead the pursuers, making them think that the "Old Tune Team" was running in that direction, and destroying the corresponding roads to delay time.

While Jiang Baimian nodded, because of the orientation problem, he could only hand the "Reaper" individual rocket launcher to Long Yuehong.

Long Yuehong, who was wearing a military exoskeleton device, easily picked up the rocket launcher and fired a shell to the side and front with the help of the "precision aiming system".

Boom!

In the light of the fire, the mountain road collapsed, and rocks fell from the rock wall above.

Bang bang bang, Shang Jianyao applauded Long Yuehong.

Gennava turned off the self-positioning module and said again:

"It's night now, and the mountainous terrain is complicated, so we don't need to consider drone searches...

"Going deeper to the northeast, Tarnan's base station will no longer be able to cover it. People chasing after it can only communicate through functions similar to walkie-talkies and telegraphs. The connection with the 'Source Brain' and the commander is no longer so close... "

He explained the restrictions that the robot guards would face in the Chilar Mountains in a way that Shang Jianyao and others could understand.

This effectively enhanced Long Yuehong's confidence.

In this way, under the command of "terrain expert" Gnawa, the jeep moved forward and backward, left and right, sometimes to create doubts, and sometimes to actually destroy the formation.

In the middle of the night, they actually left the Chilar Mountains. In front of them was Tarnan, where the street lights reflected the stars.

Long Yuehong looked around and said:

"Is this the intersection we were guarding before?"

"Yes." Gnawa nodded, "We go around and enter the mountainous area from another intersection. If there are no accidents, we will basically get rid of the pursuers."

"This is unlucky." Shang Jianyao reminded sincerely.

Gennava responded seriously:

"We intelligent people don't believe this."

"Then do you believe in fate?" Shang Jianyao asked with interest.

"Destiny..." Gennava chewed the word and did not respond.

Jiang Baimian saw this and asked thoughtfully:

"Do we need to hide in the mountains and find a chance to come back and rescue Susanna and Reds?"

The blue light in Gennava's eyes suddenly became much brighter.

After a few seconds, he slowly shook his head and said with some pain:

"Not for the time being. This may not be a good thing for them, especially Reds. She still has many modules that have not been loaded, many algorithms that have not been unlocked, and a lot of data that has not been obtained...

"As long as they are out of contact with me, they should be able to pass the follow-up review. At most, they will forget my existence. In the future, I will look for opportunities to see them again..."

At the same time, Gnawa also knew very well that with the strength of himself and this team of ruin hunters, it was impossible to snatch Susanna and Redeth from Tarnan from the "Mechanical Paradise", which would very likely result in a large number of casualties.

At this time, Bai Chen had already bypassed the previously guarded intersection and headed towards another entrance into the mountain.

Soon, the jeep entered the Chilar Mountains again, and the road became complicated again.

Gennava noticed this situation and turned his body and head to the back, looking through the car window at Tarnan who was gradually moving away.

The rows of street lights in this small town are so vivid in the night.

While other parts have fallen asleep in darkness.

"The stars light up the lamps and illuminate my future..." (Note 1)

Shang Jianyao suddenly sang a song.
