Chapter 423 Final Plan

The light stream fell, and the burning heat swept across the ground.

The blooming death engulfed the streets.

The spear gave him a life-saving blow but failed to penetrate the tyrant's heart.

The royal guards under the armor were also transformed like the soldiers. They held the spears and swung them down with great force.

It was not enough for him alone.

————

The Night Crow Manager dragged Ji Lin from the rubble to the roof, threw him beside the eaves, and looked at the miserable situation created by the other party in surprise.

The half-dissolved flesh and metal materials were completely fused together under the high temperature. Without giving the other party any time to react, the hot light stream poured firepower on the team with Ji Lin as the center.

There was no such item in their plan. Only Ji Lin's ability was a "surprise" for them.

"Is that your ability?"

"I guess so..."

Ji Lin felt the burning pain on his arm. The magic armor that was urgently deployed was obviously not able to resist a bomb detonated at a very close distance.

The temporary mage armor stacked up to form a diversion protection barrier, and the shock wave from the frontal explosion almost destroyed the arc-shaped barrier in an instant.

The pressure that arrived instantly evaporated all his stored mental power.

If Ji Lin hadn't used the timer to reset himself at the moment of calling for artillery support, he might have been paralyzed by the self-detonation attack from the opposite side.

At least he is not dead yet,

but his hands have temporarily lost their ability to move... and it hurts a little.

Looking at the flesh-destroying turbine rising in the distance.

Looking at the standing behemoth.

The thermite bomb is effective, but not effective enough.

There are still a considerable part of the mechanical structure that was not damaged in the fall.

The giant structure that stood up from the ruins is only 20 meters high. The steel content is much higher than the flesh content. It needs a lot of flesh to control, repair and correct itself.

This is it after being weakened by the thermite bomb.

Ji Lin should move another ten tons of explosives in addition to the thermite bomb until the explosive reserves can blow this thing to pieces.

But it was impossible. Smuggling thermite bombs in was the limit of what he could do. If he smuggled more, he would be entangled by those damn interest groups - they didn't want to give up the wonders they built.

And the people in the square, the knights in the square.

Their souls, their intellect, will become the fuel for the operation of this flesh and blood turbine.

Do they hope to create a commandable giant unit...

All the people present are sacrifices for its reshaping of intellect, and the steel stitched monsters are struggling to devour plasma and flesh.

The defense line is on the verge of collapse. If they rely on the steel defense line that has been arranged, they can still resist for a while.

But it's meaningless.

It's much better to save strength and prepare for subsequent response plans now than to let them face the more physically stronger transformers now.

They can stop the transformers, but they can't fight a slow-moving steel behemoth of 30 meters anyway... That's impossible.

When humans see a monster much larger than themselves, their first reaction is not to run away, but to stand still... The emotions of panic and fear instantly overload their thinking circuits and fall into a dead silence.

"Let them evacuate. They are not traitors and should not die here... We still have a final plan."

Ji Lin sighed. The time was too short and the preparations were not sufficient.

Even if there were artillery, it would not be enough. Small-caliber artillery was quite powerless when facing such a giant structure.

And his artillery support.

Ji Lin looked at the metal flesh in a semi-dissolved state on the street. He had to admit that the lethality of the arcane focuser to light armored units was simply devastating...

It was impossible to kill them all. The last round of thermal sweeping that lasted only three minutes destroyed only about 70% of the opponent's manpower. A team of nearly 500 converted people was evaporated in three minutes.

At an excellent face-to-face straight angle, the blazing white light swept across the ground and ignited everything within the range of fire.

And then, there was no more, his artillery support permission had been used up.

Three days of cooling.

Ji Lin took a long breath and his eyes fell on the metal sphere that had struggled to climb out of the pit and stretched out its deformed limbs. Only in its cracks could some bright red biomass adhesion be seen.

Really, it's a big trouble.

He does have a final plan, a plan that can break the deadlock with violence.

The only one who can defeat the monster is another monster.

There are only two large mechanical computers in operation in New London, one is a super-large mechanical computer next to the palace that provides computing power for the administrative agency.

The other is an experimental mechanical computer located in the New London Industrial Institute.

The computer with its own intellect.

He knew on the day he saw the "clock" that the other party's understanding of the flesh and blood turbine was absolutely extremely deep, with multiple detonation manipulations, designed sabotage plans, and targeted flesh and blood core screening.

As a human, Ji Lin can't do it, even with the help of magic, there is no way to defeat the monster.

But as a machine, the "clock" may be able to... But this means that the other party needs to burn his life and intellect together.

He is not sure, not sure whether this machine will make this choice.

Ji Lin will not die, but the death of everyone in this world means that their trajectory ends here.

The world finally stagnated.

"Ahem, I can still fight! Don't pull me..."

"Mr. Magician, good afternoon... Ahem..."

Don Quixote was carried by a night crow and gently placed on the ground. A lot of wounds on his body had been sprinkled with hemostatic agents to prevent a large amount of blood loss.

Ji Lin knew very well that he would not live long.

No ordinary human could survive after the lungs and organs were pierced. The fact that he could hold on here was the result of the powerful healing injections used by the night crows flowing quickly in his body to save his last breath.

"I still can't kill her, those guards are too strong... Ha... Hahahaha..."

They did not stop the infiltrating troops, nor did they successfully assassinate the tyrant under the interception of the Queen's Guards.

But the night crows still tried to drag him out of the forest of guns... The long spears of the royal guards were more advantageous than the weapons of the night crows, and they were stronger every inch longer.

They did not rashly use the explosives in their hands to launch a tentative attack, but dragged the knights back to retreat.

Ji Lin sighed, there was still too little time left for him.

But now was not the time to end the mission.

His body, Ji Lin did not want to confirm how many intact organs were still in his body... As long as he could move, there would be no problem.

The impact on the wall was really bad for him, and he didn't know how long his body could last... I hope he can hold on until the next round of charging is completed...

When his legendary equipment is fully charged, no matter how serious the injury is, it can be restored in an instant.

In the square not far away, a 20-meter-high flesh turbine crawled out of the tunnel, shaking off the fragments that were penetrated by the hot melt. It knocked down and tore apart a four-legged heavy steam machine responsible for transportation, and the extended joints once again fractal-swallowed the surrounding flesh fragments.

They are all creations of the same technology.

Ji Lin coughed up a mouthful of blood.

They didn't have much time, and they had to strangle this monster in the cradle.

————

"Good afternoon, Mr. Ji Lin, it looks like you have failed."

Zhong stated a fact to Ji Lin coldly.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Its consciousness landed on the mechanical puppet that was put together temporarily.

"I need you to stand up and help us fight the monster outside."

Ji Lin hesitated for a moment, and finally explained the whole story to it.

There is no point in deceiving.

If possible, Ji Lin would choose to let himself die, rather than let this miracle that was born with difficulty perish.

"I see... Your inference is completely correct. It is indeed possible for me to awaken myself and transform into a living body."

The steam gear turned, and the words fell gently on the blackboard.

"I have no emotions. I don't have any emotions that humans have because of their biological nature."

Whether it is fear or fear of death.

Whether it is enjoyment or desire for longevity.

"I must stay here. My huge intellect is enough to drive the activities of giant structures of my level... Although it will eventually return to an irrational state."

"And, I need a driver..."

It also hesitated and said to the crowd in front of it.

"I am a machine, not a human. My emotions and will... I cannot understand... But that is an indispensable and necessary factor."

It has no emotions, no strong desire to die for anything.

The art of synchronizing flesh and blood with machinery was built on the basis of humans. As a machine, it would be homogenized into the appearance of other machines at a very fast speed. It could not guarantee whether its intellectual ability could support the operation of a monster of its level.

It wanted to feel what it was to be a "human" at the last moment of its life.

This intellectual machine, born out of a miracle, reached out to them and opened its cavity large enough to accommodate a person.
