Lottery and Backup! / Justice from Above!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At that moment, two RPGs and one particle cannon shot rammed directly into A2 and his companion.

This veteran of the YoRHa Unit, whose energy was nearly depleted and whose system was damaged in many places, directly activated the ion shield on his back at full power and withstood three attacks.

A dull thud followed, and the swaying ion shield finally shattered, sending the two A2 figures, like drifting catkins in the wind, crashing heavily onto the concrete ground.

After vomiting a large amount of bright red liquid, A2 saw that Sarah in his arms had only suffered internal organ shock and was otherwise unharmed, which reassured him somewhat.

But after locking onto the two men's location, some of the Terminator robots, who seemed to know no fear, continued their long-range sniping while others jumped off the five-story building.

A2 pushed Sarah away, gripped his battle sword tightly in his right hand, and struggled to support his body with his legs, which had lost all feeling. Knowing that he couldn't escape much with Sarah as a burden, A2 prepared to fight with all his might!

More than a dozen Terminators of various models crashed onto the ground of the residential area like dumplings, leaving behind spiderweb-like cracks. But the impact was negligible to them.

In a mere instant, the Terminators, their eyes flashing red, gathered around A2 and Sarah, their cold and hot weapons aimed at their mortal enemies, the members of the YoRHa Unit and their target— the Mother of New Humans.

As the particle cannon's arc of light flashed and coalesced, a greatsword wreathed in blazing flames flew across the sky, severing the particle cannon's arm and embedding itself deeply into the ground in front of A2 and his companion.

A man with black and white wings also gracefully arrived!

P. S.: Among the Terminator 2 and Alien series, these were among the few classic films featuring tough men and women in the lead roles.

Chapter 259, Section 273: Lottery and Calling People!

It's him again!

After receiving a portion of Skynet's consciousness, a silver-gray nanostructure Terminator T-3000 frowned emotionally, a surge of anger rising within him, causing the entire mechanical legion's attack to halt.

Kevin, who arrived at the last second, took off his Bluetooth headset, smiled, and reached out to pull A2 and Sarah, the Mother of New Humans, up from the ground.

However, because A2 had absorbed all the impact during her previous jumps, she was repeatedly injured and had never received any medical care.

Therefore, after several attempts, A2 was unable to stand steadily on both legs.

Sarah, who was standing to the side with an anxious expression, saw the Terminators raise their guns again after they had been lowering them, and beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

"Hand over Sarah Connor, and I'll let you take away this crippled remnant of the YoRHa Unit!"

At this moment, the T-3000, transformed into the appearance of a popular Hollywood porn star, walked over gracefully. Although her voice was as cold as ever, it carried a hint of negotiation.

Have they even learned this?

Kevin muttered to himself, but did not turn around. He simply bent down and picked up A2, whose eyes were filled with determination.

However, during the exertion of force, the commander's originally calm smile froze, the veins in his arms bulged, and his face turned from white to red.

Damn! I forgot about this 300-plus pounds... overweight. If I hadn't used my Mental Power, I almost crashed.

Moreover, carrying such a burden while simultaneously ensuring Sarah's safety amidst a hail of bullets...

Kevin was deeply troubled by this thought.

Feeling humiliated by being ignored, the T-3000 immediately raised its hand, and dozens of Terminators surrounded it from all sides, unleashing a barrage of light and heavy firepower.

Kevin immediately erected Mental Barrier to protect the three of them and gradually retreated. His 40 points of Mental Power were rapidly depleted under the violent attack.

Sarah, who was gradually becoming accustomed to gunfights, immediately grabbed the gun from the ground, skillfully pulled and lifted it, chambered a bullet, and blasted the nearest T-1000's head open.

At this moment, A2 in Kevin's arms did not struggle. A strange sense of security made her, who had originally planned to self-destruct, relax greatly, and the data stream in her pupils began to flash.

Subsequently, the auxiliary robot POD042, hovering behind the three, launched all the miniature missiles it carried, clearing a path for their retreat.

Although it was their first time working together, the three of them worked together with remarkable coordination in the face of a life-or-death crisis. They quickly broke through the iron gate and retreated to a street filled with abandoned vehicles.

"Son of a *****!"

Sarah, who was crouching behind Kevin, casually tossed aside the Remington she had missed, and then burst into profanity in anger.

This woman, who was once even somewhat timid in life, became rough and resilient after a series of changes.

But for some reason, Sarah felt a sense of shame, as if her bright exterior had been stripped bare. She felt that swearing in front of an "angel" was incredibly vulgar.

Well, she had to admit that every woman has a hero complex to some extent.

If the scenario were different, she wouldn't mind having a cross-cultural activity with the handsome guy next to her.

However, the conflicted feelings only flashed through my mind for a moment.

The new mother immediately pulled a Colt revolver from a private car whose roof had been blown off and slammed it into the head of a T-800 that appeared behind her.

Praise democracy! Praise freedom!

Because in American history, Title II of the Bill of Rights legalized the possession of firearms, the circulation of firearms is not merely rampant; they are practically everywhere if you look around.

Looking around, the entire street where the two lived had been almost completely emptied due to the previous popularity of Tokyo.

Hatsune Miku and her friends' crowd evacuation plan was very successful. Hopefully, the military and police in Las Vegas won't come here to get themselves killed.

Kevin leaped away from the public phone booth, only to be blasted to pieces by a particle cannon. A hint of relief flickered in his eyes as he looked around.

Meanwhile, major roads leading to the incident site in Las Vegas were experiencing frequent breakdowns, with red lights constantly on, suspension bridges hanging precariously, and vehicles breaking down, causing severe congestion.

For a time, military and police forces arriving from all directions were stranded on the road.

Not only were there no obvious problems with the vehicles along the way, but even with strenuous towing, the volunteers struggled to move an inch.

Left with no other option, the Las Vegas military and police departments had to escalate the situation, mobilizing helicopters and fighter jets to airdrop emergency troops to the scene to suppress the unrest.

However, a series of undecided military orders and demands from S.H.I.E.L.D.. to maintain the existing order followed.

The assembled military and police forces decided to establish a cordon, impose martial law on the entire city, and begin clearing out rioters who were taking advantage of the chaos.

These hot-tempered guys were already seething with anger from the frequent incidents, and nobody knew what Las Vegas would look like tomorrow morning, or whether they would be held accountable.

Therefore, any rioters who dared to stir up trouble at this time became perfect targets for venting their anger, and large areas of Las Vegas, the city that never sleeps, were unusually quiet tonight.

Savage Axis!

The Buzzer Octave!

Kevin temporarily placed the A2, then flapped his Wings violently, and the two T-1000s that had climbed onto the roof to observe were hit by the Skyfire Greatsword, instantly melting into a pool of scattered molten metal.

But there are too many!

After a series of actions, the three of them eliminated twenty or thirty Terminators of various models, but there were still more than fifty remaining.

Worse still, the most threatening Knight Tier T-3000 remained silent throughout, seemingly waiting for its opportunity.

****!

Sarah, who was barely managing to keep up thanks to the assistance of the robot POD042, was suddenly in trouble. When she saw a rocket hurtling towards her with a long trail of flame, she cursed under her breath and fell backward.

However, without Kevin's Mental Barrier protecting him, the rocket struck the abandoned vehicle directly, causing a violent explosion that sent shrapnel flying everywhere.

One of the iron pieces, shaped like a slanted triangle, pierced the muscle of Sarah's right leg, pinning her firmly to the ground.

"Then, checkmate!"

The T-3000, which had been lying in wait for a long time, led the remaining fifty or sixty Terminator robots to surround and advance on Sarah, who was groaning and struggling.

The Mother of New Humans must die, but before that, they must read and replicate all the memories and emotions in Sarah's brain.

This is an order from [Skynet], because both the evolution of the [Red Queen] and the future transformation of the [White Queen] are inseparable from the analysis and imitation of her thinking.

"Laugh!"

The dark red Skyfire Greatsword slashed down directly. Kevin, whose face was pale, gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, glanced at Hatsune Miku and Scanner Unit 21 who were dragging A2 away in the alley, and felt relieved.

Although he hadn't expected Skynet to mobilize almost its entire force for this, fortunately he still had a backup plan.

The beeping watch transformed into radar mode at that moment, and a group of flashing lights rapidly approached.

"So what if there are a lot of people? That's amazing!"

The commander listened intently to the sharp blast of air overhead, and saw the black dot growing larger in his pupils. He breathed a sigh of relief and parted his lips slightly.

P. S.: Beep! A new SR card pool is open. Please draw!

Chapter 260, Section 274: Justice Descends from Heaven!

Tokyo, Japan; Virtual Reality Technology Research Institute under the SCP Foundation.

Asuna Yuuki saw the black metal bracelet light up, took a deep breath, solemnly pulled down her VR glasses, and lay down in the silver-white life support pod.

In the adjacent cabin, the siblings Kazuto Kirigaya and Kirigaya Nao exchanged a glance, then closed their eyes and shut the hatch.

The Crawford family castle in County of Surrey, England.

Koichiro Yuuki gently zipped up the zipper of his bodysuit, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Shino Asada let her long hair down, took off her glasses, lay down with her arms crossed, looking uneasy.

Aiko Konno and Konomi Konno showed curiosity about the equipment they were in. They had been isolated for too long, and anything interesting made the sisters feel the beauty and wonder of the world.

"Mental Frame loading complete..."

"A two-way interactive loop of thought and perception is formed..."

"Nerve reflexes are good..."

"Synchronization rate improved...70%...80%...90%...100%!"

"[World Tree] -- Activate!"

Rinko Shinjo and Akihiko Kayaba, who respectively took over the virtual reality research institutions in Tokyo and County of Surrey, solemnly pressed the switch in front of the main control panel, constantly monitoring the flow of thought data.

As the various icons on the screen gradually lit up, Rinko Shinjo and Akihiko Kayaba clenched their fists simultaneously, their hearts pounding with excitement.

If this experiment succeeds, they will gradually change the nature of warfare! This is an unprecedented revolution!

Meanwhile, in Las Vegas, USA.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

With a dull thud, five 1.8-meter-tall objects, their outer structures resembling the armor of the "Thor's Hammer" series, crashed into the path of the Terminator Force.

"Laugh!"

The lead humanoid mechanical creature, painted in black, gripped his hands behind his back and drew a black and white metal greatsword, sweeping it across the two approaching T-1000s.

The sharp blade cleaved the T-1000s in two, embedding itself deep into their abdominal cavities.

The disguises of the two T-1000s as Latin Americans instantly shattered, and the silver liquid metal wrapped around the longswords in their abdominal cavities.

Even more surprisingly, the mycelium-like liquid metal began to spread along the sword's blade towards the strange humanoid mechanical creature.

However, when the mechanism at the hilt automatically engaged, a layer of extended dark red light blades shot out from both sides of the blade. Under the high temperature, it effortlessly melted away the body of the T-1000.

The two T-1000s screamed and retreated. Despite their best efforts to repair themselves, they had suffered extensive damage to their internal organs and were temporarily rendered harmless.

"Unit 1, Kazuto Kirigaya, ready!"

The humanoid mechanical creature that had severely damaged two T-1000s was now facing a T-800 that had revealed its grenade launcher. With a moment of hesitation, the blade of the sword actually cleaved the grenade in mid-air.

"Unit 2, Kirigaya Nao!"

Then, a small, light green humanoid mechanical creature charged out from the side, its battle blade cleaving through a particle cannon that a TX Terminator was assembling.

"Our turn! Unit 3 Asuna Yuuki, Unit 4 Koichiro Yuuki, in position!"

The humanoid mechanical creature, resembling a knight with a round shield and chain sword, roared excitedly as it slashed and smashed at a T-800 that had just pulled out a lamppost and was sweeping across the battlefield.

"Unit 5, Konomi Konno; Unit 6, Aiko Konno, reporting for duty!"

Two slender, humanoid mechanical beings, each wielding a light sword, began to weave in and out from the left and right.

At that moment, a T-1000 that had been sneaking up on Kevin and his two companions from the flank had just closed the distance, slightly crouching down in preparation for its charge, when its head suddenly exploded.

Hmph... this kind of damage... can heal in just ten seconds...

As the T-1000 staggered backward, it tried to expel the bullet that had pierced its head, but strange, purplish-red crystals began to spread from the wound outwards.

"Unit 7, Shino Asada, battlefield suppression complete! SCP Foundation Squad 2 - [World Tree], all personnel present!"

"Sir, this place is not safe. Please remain vigilant and evacuate immediately!"

On the distant church Clock Tower, a blue-white humanoid mechanical creature with a huge sniper rifle mounted softly loaded another bullet with a purplish-red crystalline tip into its magazine.

Kevin listened to the reply through his earpiece, relieved, and calmed down to provide battlefield first aid to Sarah had lost a lot of blood.
