Embers Ad Infinitum

It’s not that Shang Jianyao and others haven’t thought about Jingfa’s response, but they believe that it is impossible for Jingfa to accurately judge their intentions at the first time, so they directly adopt this method to bypass the entanglement of the exoskeleton device. , continuing the strategy of chasing the jeep, they believed that it would take at least a few more circles before Jingfa could react.

Who would have known that Mechanical Monk Jingfa would grasp their most fundamental intentions right away, as if there was no limit to the scope of his mind.

Shang Jianyao didn't ask Bai Chen what to do, and dealt with the worst-case scenario as expected:

Around the inner line with car marks, drive the net method to the outer line, try to hold on for a while longer, and allow the jeep to enter the frequently visited areas of the Black Swamp Wilderness - the distance and range of the inner line movement must be smaller than the outer line, so it can be effective Reduce the deficiencies in response speed and smoothness of the exoskeleton device when facing a truly "intelligent" robot.

In this way, a human being covered with an iron-black metal skeleton and a mechanical monk with an iron-black metal skeleton ran wildly on the edge of the wilderness, woodland, and swamp, jumping and chasing each other, without sparing their own energy.

During this process, Shang Jianyao tried to launch grenades and electromagnetic weapon projectiles several times, but Jingfa changed the direction in time and distanced himself, and had no intention of breaking out a fight now.

Shang Jianyao, who was fully using the exoskeleton device, watched the battery power decrease little by little, and the distance to the possible location of the jeep shortened little by little. Although he was anxious, he had no idea what to do.

If Jingfa chooses to close the distance and fight him fiercely, he can still adapt to the situation and risk his life regardless of life and death. But now, he feels like he has a chronic terminal disease, the medicine and stone are ineffective, and he is walking towards death step by step.

"Don't be impatient." In this state of running and jumping at high speed, Bai Chen couldn't do anything, but she was keenly aware of Shang Jianyao's change in state.

——Jiang Baimian didn’t give her the grenade gun, and Bai Chen didn’t mind. In her opinion, the team leader was preventing the mechanical monk Jingfa from bypassing the exoskeleton device and heading straight for the jeep. Moreover, Bai Chen’s current position It is to lead the way, not to fight.

Shang Jianyao did not respond, but he significantly reduced the number of times he left the inside line and was no longer so impatient.

At the same time, the Jeep's wheel marks continued to change in this area, and it obviously made many turns. This made it difficult for Jingfa to rely on the prediction of the marks to lock the direction of the vehicle, and had to get closer to the inner line to look for the final car mark.

This allowed Shang Jianyao to find an opportunity.

He raised his left arm and launched a grenade in a certain direction according to the pattern prompts of the "Precision Aiming System".

The mechanical monk Jingfa who had just completed the change of direction seemed to have no way to escape.

His eyes were bright red, and the metal joints at his ankles and knees bent against the human structure. He forced another change of direction and jumped into the air.

Boom!

The grenade exploded like a blooming red firework.

However, its expansion was a beat slower than that of Jingfa, and it failed to engulf the mechanical monk.

Just when Shang Jianyao was annoyed that he failed to seize the opportunity, a grenade shot out from a nearby tree!

It is aimed at the Pure Dharma, which is in mid-air and its power has been exhausted.

Jingfa looked over subconsciously with his flashing red eyes and saw Jiang Baimian with a ponytail, gray camouflage and holding a grenade gun.

The leader of the "old tune team" didn't follow the jeep and hid in the tree!

Seeing that he could no longer dodge the grenade, the multiple metal covers behind Jingfa's back and feet opened on their own, revealing a deep, dark, fist-sized cavity.

In the sound of scoffing, streams of white gas spurted out from those holes, pushing Jingfa out in mid-air.

Boom!

The high-explosive grenade exploded not far from the mechanical monk. The violent shock wave caused his body to tilt, making it difficult to maintain his balance for a while.

Although Shang Jianyao didn't understand why the team leader appeared here strangely, he did not waste the opportunity. He raised his right arm and relied on the "precision aiming system" to aim the electromagnetic weapon of the exoskeleton device at the person who lost his balance in mid-air. A method that makes it difficult to erupt gas again for a short period of time.

Just when he was about to pull the trigger, he and Bai Chen suddenly saw a series of slightly unreal figures with their bellies protruding and wildly swallowing soil.

This makes them both believe that they are very hungry.

"The Way of Hungry Ghosts"!

Through the jumping and lateral movement just now, Jingfa reduced the distance between himself and the exoskeleton device to more than 20 meters!

Bai Chen eagerly put his hands into his pockets and took out compressed biscuits and energy bars.

This caused her to lose her balance and fall from the exoskeleton's energy pack to the ground.

But this didn't stop her from frantically tearing open the package and stuffing the food into her mouth.

At the same time, Shang Jianyao did not make any similar move.

His lower jaw area, which was not covered by the metal helmet, opened his mouth, revealing the scene inside:

A piece of compressed biscuit expanded with saliva and filled most of the mouth.

Shang Jianyao kept chewing and devouring the biscuit to quell his perceived hunger.

This prevented his hands from immediately retracting to look for food!

Before leaving the jeep, he stuffed a small piece of compressed biscuit into his mouth on the pretext of eating, but never swallowed it, just to gain a second or two under the influence of the "hungry ghost path"!

Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Shang Jianyao frantically devoured the biscuits in his mouth, showing a distorted smile as he pulled the trigger.

Amidst the sound of electric current, a projectile was wrapped in a silver-white arc, crossing a distance of more than 20 meters at an indescribable super speed, and accurately hit the iron-black metal on Jingfa's chest.

The banging and banging sounds sounded almost at the same time, and an obvious fist-sized depression appeared in front of Jingfa's body.

In the depression, the iron-black metal cracked and fell off, exposing the wiring and parts hidden underneath.

Around the depression, cracks spread radially, like a spider web.

Along with such scars, the kinetic energy of the electromagnetic weapon pushed Jingfa away, making him like a kite with its string broken.

At this time, Jiang Baimian on the tree had put down his grenade gun, pulled back his left arm, and threw out a metal pole wrapped with countless silver-white electric lights.

when!

This thunder dragon-like metal pole penetrated into the depression in front of Jingfa, knocking him down from mid-air and "inserting" him to the ground.

With the thumping sound, arcs of electricity bloomed in Jingfa's body like countless unfolding petals, following the parts and lines in the depression.

The monk's mechanical body suddenly stiffened, and his eyes lost their red light, as if they had turned into stone.

The "Hungry Ghost Path" effect that shrouded the surroundings disappeared.

Seeing this, Shang Jianyao hurriedly changed his direction and pointed the electromagnetic weapon at Jingfa's head.

Before he could take aim, another red light lit up in Jingfa's eyes.

His entire body made of metal skeleton suddenly bounced, and he jumped into the distance with the metal pole and the endless silver current.

Then, the mechanical monk changed directions continuously and ran away without looking back.

At this time, Jiang Baimian picked up the grenade gun again.

She couldn't hide her disappointment and said loudly:

"He indeed has an emergency backup system and a redundant airframe structure!"

Shang Jianyao originally wanted to respond to the team leader, but his throat and mouth were filled with the "remnants" of compressed biscuits, choking him so much that he almost rolled his eyes and couldn't speak at all.

Bai Chen, on the other hand, did not swallow the whole energy bar in one gulp. After swallowing the remaining part in his mouth, he asked loudly:

"Want to chase?"

She was asking for Shang Jianyao.

Jiang Baimian looked at the direction where Jingfa's back disappeared, shook his head and said:

"It's too late. Besides, he just wants to escape this time, which is much faster than the exoskeleton device."

After saying that, she jumped down from the tree lightly, walked towards Bai Chen and Shang Jianyao, and said comfortingly:

"But it doesn't matter, he has been hit hard by us.

"The emergency backup system and the redundant and isolated airframe structure must only have basic functions, otherwise they cannot be implemented at all.

"To put it simply, Jingfa cannot continue to chase us until he repairs himself. He should not be able to use the weapon system and monitoring system now."

Bai Chen breathed a sigh of relief:

"Then we have plenty of time to get out of his tracking range."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shang Jianyao had already finished swallowing the compressed biscuits in his mouth and blurted out:

"Team leader, why are you here?

"Aren't you going to meet at Wolulu Station? Where's the jeep?"

Jiang Baimian laughed when he heard this:

"The previous plan was a lie to you."

Her eyes curled up with laughter:

"If I don't deceive you all, how can I deceive the Dharma?"

"..." Shang Jianyao and Bai Chen were a little dull for a moment.

Jiang Baimian held the grenade gun, looked around and said:

"Since Jingfa was able to 'sense' the female voice at the gate at the blast furnace of the steel plant, I suspected that his monitoring system was stronger than we thought.

“This was later reflected to a certain extent in several aspects, which made me more and more suspicious.

“For example, how dare he go around in circles and put on a posture of long-term consumption, what if we have more than one spare battery?

"For example, when he attacked us for the first time, why did he choose the passenger seat instead of the more important driver's seat? He didn't know us, so how did he know that I was the team leader and the most threatening one on the surface? Me and Bai Chen had discussed in advance what she should do if she attacked the driver's seat: As soon as I raised the grenade gun, she lowered her body so that the grenade could pass through the driving area, fly out of the window, and shoot towards the target. As a result, this response failed. Can come in handy.

"With such suspicion, I deliberately led you to discuss and made a plan to meet at Yuelu Station to see if Jingfa would be deceived. In fact, even if he didn't 'hear' and was not deceived, through your performance , sooner or later he will find out that your purpose is to delay, to give Jeep time to get out of his tracking range.

"So, after completing the continuous turns here, I quickly stopped the car, hid in a tree not far away, and asked Long Yuehong to continue driving forward, and told him to stop and wait for us in ten minutes."
