Chapter 234: Chapter 234: I am the Train King_1

"Is this... your trump card?"

Looking at the off-road vehicle parked downstairs, "Heavy Cannon" couldn’t help but ask.

He admitted that when Song Lan said he was going to pull out all the stops, he did have great expectations. He imagined that the other party would produce some super awesome weapon that could blast a hole in Wild Bone’s chest with one shot.

He immediately had "Heavy Metal Rock" disconnect, then called back "Ghost," who was on the rooftop on lookout duty. However, after they made their way downstairs in a swaggering procession, they realized that what Song Lan referred to as his trump card was actually just an off-road vehicle.

And it looked like one of those Rebel Clan styles from over two or three decades ago.

"Exactly,"

Song Lan nodded, "The greatest skill of every lone wolf is the ability to scoot no matter how complicated the situation becomes."

Just now, he had let Infected enter free play in a form that could carry six passengers for the mission.

After consuming several parked cars nearby, Infected had successfully evolved, completing the transition from a sedan to an off-road vehicle.

Song Lan’s explanation made everyone both laugh and cry.

While the explanation made some sense, the current situation clearly couldn’t be neatly summed up as "complicated." In a moment, they might be pursued by both the Rebel Army and the United Government’s Humanoid Weapons.

What could they possibly do with just an off-road vehicle?

To think that Wild Bone’s operating system was installed with an "Overload" system. By accelerating itself, it could easily catch up to them on foot alone.

Could it be that this off-road vehicle had some hidden tricks?

Thinking this, "Heavy Cannon" tentatively asked again, "Where did you get this vehicle from?"

If it was a vehicle secretly developed with military technology, perhaps it could also...

"Junkyard."

These three words were succinct and powerful, seemingly containing endless force.

"Why don’t we just go back?"

"Heavy Cannon" felt darkness looming before his eyes.

Rather than stiffly dying in a little box picked up from a junkyard, it would be better to fight to the death at the stronghold against Wild Bone. There were surveillance systems in the stronghold; at the very least, they would be able to spot Wild Bone approaching their district. Then, with rooftop sniper cover and his fire support, even if they couldn’t kill Wild Bone, they’d at least leave marks of bullet casings on his body.

Or perhaps...

"Or you take Dr. Bai Zhu with you, and we’ll try our best to hold Wild Bone back."

"Get in the car, there’s no time to explain!"

Song Lan stressed as he spoke.

He remembered that before he left, the icons on the first screen had almost all faded away. If the one killing them was Wild Bone, it could mean that he already knew all the mercenaries’ movements. It was only a matter of time before he would come knocking.

Before Wild Bone caught up, these people had to at least all stay in the vehicle to give him some room to maneuver.

"This is definitely a mistake."

Although he said this, "Heavy Cannon" still got into the vehicle with his people. Deep down, he didn’t have any confidence in the off-road vehicle picked from the junkyard, but Song Lan’s earnest tone somehow swayed his judgement to a certain extent.

At least, the other man’s eyes and tone didn’t seem like those of someone heading off to die.

"Retreat!"

The moment he closed the car door, Song Lan issued the command to Infected.

The mechanized Horn Bug squad had already scouted the road ahead, temporarily taking on the role of navigators.

"Didn’t expect the car to have an autopilot system!"

The hacker in the team clicked his tongue in admiration; he seemed to have a fair bit of research on intelligent navigation systems.

Over thirty years ago, self-driving systems were not at all common.

"I picked it up from a junkyard and made a few modifications."

During the conversation, the Infected number had already approached the main gate, and the mechanical Horn Bug unit up front reported that the Rebel Army’s forces had finished assembling. It seemed they were aware of Wild Bone’s arrival and planned to make a decisive stand against them.

In an incident two years ago, Wild Bone had obliterated an entire city’s Rebel Army; Song Lan felt that Esinvig’s eagerness was not solely due to the chip from the Deep Web but was also tinged with a personal vendetta.

"We’re about to leave the city, Dr. Bai Zhu, hide yourselves!"

"Heavy Cannon" whispered, fortunately, the sporadic gunfire throughout the city had disturbed the local citizens. With the events of two years ago as a warning, many people had gotten up overnight and were driving away from the city, making their off-road vehicle look less conspicuous.

If they could just deceive the eyes of the Rebel Army and temporarily escape the city...

However, his thoughts were once again interrupted by the astonishing sight before him—he clearly saw two automatic turrets being mounted on the front of the off-road vehicle!

Installing turrets on off-road vehicles was not uncommon; not to mention military technology, many armored vehicles in circulation on the black market were equipped with automatic turrets.

What was truly shocking was that these two automatic turrets aimed at the open space in front of the Rebel Army’s formation. Before he could utter a word, flames burst from the gun barrels, lighting up the night sky, and the crackling sound made everyone in the vehicle’s scalp tingle.

"What are you doing!?"

Only after a full round of ammunition had been expended did "Heavy Cannon" roar out his question.

The Rebel Army hadn’t come looking for trouble with them, but Song Lan had fired a barrage at the open space in front of their formation. Although it hadn’t harmed any Rebel Army soldiers, this provocative action immediately prompted a response from the other side—after frantically searching for cover, the annoyed Rebel Army quickly pursued them with several armed armored vehicles.

I now have ample reason to suspect you want to kill Dr. Bai Zhu!

"You don’t get it at all."

Song Lan interrupted "Heavy Cannon," saying, "Think about it, if there’s only our car on the highway later, Wild Bone will surely chase us to the ends of the earth. But if the Rebel Army is also there, he’ll have to spare time to tangle with them. Wild Bone’s overload system has an interval between uses, so he’ll have to choose between pursuing us and dealing with the Rebel Army."

Of course, these were all excuses to placate the others.

Theoretically, as long as he wished, Wild Bone would never catch up with them in his lifetime.

But ever since hearing about Wild Bone’s strength from their hacker friend, Song Lan had been formulating some ideas.

Six Stars rescuer, the United Government’s currently highest masterpiece in cybernetic bodies.

It sounded as though Wild Bone was an invincible being.

No wonder the United Government wasn’t worried about the increasingly powerful Rebel Army because they had several rescuers of Wild Bone’s caliber.

And since just now, he had been secretly contemplating one thing.

The operating system in Wild Bone’s head could even accelerate time, a technology he had never heard of before. It sounded very high-end.

As the saying goes, since I’m here already.

I like your chip; let me borrow it for research.

Ge Fu, the philosopher and engineer from District Seventeen, once said, what’s borrowed need not be returned.

After all, District Seventeen is now under the United Government’s control. If they grow stronger, it equates to the United Government growing stronger—undoubtedly a win-win deal.

The only problem was that the United Government clearly couldn’t accept Wild Bone being defeated by a few obscure mercenaries.

But if he fell victim to a treacherous ambush from the Rebel Army in the process of pursuing Dr. Bai Zhu, everything would make much more sense.

"You want the Rebel Army to hold Wild Bone off for us?"

"Heavy Cannon’s" eyes brightened as he grasped Song Lan’s idea, "Brilliant, counter-terrorism expert."
