I hadn't expected to become the target of these mechanical beasts.
Jiang Xiaohui wanted to rush out, but I grabbed him. With things like this, we really couldn't act rashly.
No matter how good we were at fighting, how could we possibly deal with more than a dozen laser guns?
These weren't ordinary firearms. A bullet's penetrating power could be affected by external factors, but lasers were different. At the very least, we had nothing on us that could block laser beams.
