"Captain Lu, give me all the grenades."
The laboratory's defensive wall was being blasted apart continuously. The enemy could break in at any moment.
Captain Lu was fully on guard and had not noticed that Lin Xiao had recovered.
Hearing his voice now, he turned around in surprise and hurriedly said,
"Major General Lin, it's wonderful that you're all right! But leave the fighting to us soldiers."
Lin Xiao frowned. The situation was dire, and he did not want to explain too much to them.
"Major Lu, I may only be a Major General of the Science and Technology Department, but I am still a major general. Carry out the order immediately."
"Yes, sir."
There were twenty members in the laboratory's special operations squad, and Captain Lu brought over only twenty high-explosive grenades.
As the laboratory's internal guards, each of them was allowed to carry only one grenade. Their firearms, however, were top-of-the-line automatic rifles.
"Give me a gun too!"
"Yes, sir."
Captain Lu saluted again and handed the rifle on his back to Lin Xiao without the slightest hesitation.
Lin Xiao nodded. The gun was good, and so was Captain Lu.
On the battlefield, a gun was a soldier's life, yet he had handed it over without hesitation.
Boom!
This tremor was especially violent. A huge hole had actually been blasted into the defensive wall at the main entrance.
Before the smoke and dust had even cleared, figures were already rushing inside.
"Fuck, open fire! Save ammunition and aim for their heads!"
Captain Lu cursed and pulled out his pistol as he gave the order.
Gunfire immediately erupted throughout the laboratory. The heads of the figures charging in first were all blown apart.
"As expected."
Lin Xiao looked at the corpses on the ground. They were dressed like mercenaries and had Western features.
He had probably caught the attention of some major foreign power. Perhaps certain great nations were pulling the strings behind the scenes as well.
No matter the world, China's rise would always make other countries afraid. He needed to speed up his own plans too.
"Watch out for grenades!"
Captain Lu had sharp eyes. Seeing several grenades fly in through the breach, he hurriedly shouted a warning.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Lin Xiao raised his gun and fired three precise shots. The grenades were hit and detonated in midair.
Because the explosions were so close to the breach, the enemy's grenade attack instead caused casualties among their own men. A wave of wails came from outside the opening.
"Holy shit, that's insane! A sharpshooter!"
"Stop talking. Watch for stray bullets."
After reminding Captain Lu, Lin Xiao continued firing. Anyone who dared show their head had it blown apart. For a time, the breach became a death zone.
Click!
Lin Xiao replaced the magazine, but he did not continue shooting.
There were hundreds of enemies. Although they had the advantage of defending, their numbers were simply too small.
The special forces soldiers were elite, but the ammunition they carried was limited. Unless every shot killed someone, there was no way they could win.
"Save ammunition. I'll treat them to a few grenades too."
Taking advantage of a lull in the enemy's fire, Lin Xiao took out a high-explosive grenade, pulled the pin, and threw it toward the breach.
The grenade he threw traced a strange arc. It first struck the ground, then bounced several times, somehow ricocheting deep into the corridor.
Boom!
Screams came from deep within the hallway, and more than a dozen energy bodies vanished from Lin Xiao's sight.
Piercing cries echoed from the corridor. Besides those killed outright, many more had been injured.
Hundreds of people were packed into that narrow corridor. One Geometric Grenade from Lin Xiao had caused terrifying damage.
The Geometric Grenade's results were outstanding, so Lin Xiao naturally pressed the advantage and threw three more grenades.
Panicked curses came from the corridor, followed by chaotic footsteps. The enemy had been scared back for the moment.
"Captain Lu, take this chance to let the soldiers rest. They paid too great a price to give up easily. As long as we stall for time, we win."
After saying that, Lin Xiao turned and walked to a corner of the laboratory, where two glass chambers were covered by black cloth.
Pulling off the two black coverings revealed two robots inside the transparent glass chambers.
Lin Xiao went to the chamber marked Terminator T-1, opened a control panel, entered the password, and activated the startup sequence.
This was the prototype of the robots outside. Lin Xiao had originally kept it as a collectible, since this model's defenses were not particularly strong and its intelligence was quite weak.
With hundreds of guns outside, along with RPGs meant for dealing with tanks, a single robot was of very limited use.
The dozen or so T-1 units activated earlier had not stopped the enemy's advance either.
Lin Xiao planned to strap a cluster bomb to it and send it out to self-destruct. That would at least be somewhat useful.
The remaining high-explosive grenades were tied together, and Lin Xiao also strapped on a test tube filled with red liquid.
It was the product of a pointless experiment: ultra-concentrated pepper water compressed countless times. It would vaporize when exposed to high temperatures and give the mercenaries outside a real taste of hell.
Boom! Boom!
Two more violent explosions shook the laboratory as if an earthquake had struck. Two massive holes split open in the defensive wall.
The enemy's final assault had begun. Their time was running out. Nearly an hour had passed since the incident began, and with such a huge commotion, the Chinese military should have fully responded by now.
Yet Lin Xiao sensed something unusual. Why had the reinforcements been held up by mercenaries for an entire hour? It was truly baffling.
They were merely a band of desperate outlaws. China was known as a forbidden land for mercenaries, so the fact that so many had managed to infiltrate was already terrifying enough.
Lin Xiao set those thoughts aside for the moment and entered the command into the control panel. The robot's blood-red electronic eyes lit up, and activation was complete.
The glass chamber opened. Terminator T-1 clutched the cluster bomb in its arms and sprinted at full speed toward the breach.
Terminator T-1 was very fast at full speed. A robot suddenly charging out caught the enemy off guard.
T-1 did not attack. It crashed through the crowd, rushed into the corridor, and ran toward the densest cluster of mercenaries. The safety on the cluster bomb had also been pulled.
"Fuck! Run!"
A mercenary spotted the cluster grenade in T-1's arms and shouted in terror, but it was already too late.
Boom!
The flames from the explosion swallowed a long stretch of the corridor, while grenade fragments spread even farther.
In that single blast, mercenaries filling the corridor fell in great numbers. At least a third of them had been taken out.
"Fuck! Fuck! Charge! Charge!"
The mercenary leader shoved away a corpse pinning him down and looked toward the blast center, which was littered with severed limbs and mangled bodies.
His eyes went bloodshot. Grabbing a rocket launcher from the ground, he charged toward the blasted breach first.
"Bitch! Die!"
The mercenary leader rushed through the opening, roaring as he prepared to fire the rocket.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two sharp sounds cut through the air, and two huge bloody holes appeared in the mercenary leader's forehead.
Seeing their leader collapse dead, the other mercenaries' morale instantly plummeted. At that moment, the red mist vaporized by the heat began to spread as well.
"Ah!"
"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough..."
"Water! Water!"
Chaotic screams came from the corridor. Lin Xiao curled his lips into a smile. Intelligence was a good thing—it depended on how one used it.
Giving Captain Lu a thumbs-up, Lin Xiao returned to the other glass chamber.
Just now, an idiot carrying a rocket launcher had rushed out, and both he and Captain Lu had fired at the same time.
Captain Lu's reaction speed was excellent, and Lin Xiao found him quite pleasing to the eye. Perhaps he was worth cultivating.
Lin Xiao walked to the glass chamber marked Terminator T-600, opened the control panel, and began activating the robot.
Lin Xiao's sense of danger had not faded. He had a feeling that an even greater crisis was approaching, and he needed to make preparations.
Terminator T-600 was a prototype robot developed only recently. Its intelligence and the strength of its metal skeleton had both improved tremendously.
However, because of energy issues, it could not fight for extended periods. But inside this laboratory, it could be connected to an energy line, making it a useful emergency measure.
Terminator T-600 received entirely different treatment from T-1. It had two Gatling guns mounted on its hands, with ammunition belts wrapped all around its body.
Terminator T-600 also had silicone skin. Although it still looked like a doll,
it was at least far more pleasing to the eye than a metal skeleton. Lin Xiao had used the Governor as the facial model. If he changed the face, it would no longer be a classic.
Once activation was complete, Terminator T-600 strode directly out, giving Lin Xiao a trace of reassurance.
"Go clear out the cannon fodder outside!"
Lin Xiao gave the order directly. The enemies outside were being tormented half to death by the pepper spray, making this the perfect time to harvest them.
Soon, the roar of Gatling guns and the enemies' shrill screams echoed through the corridor.
"Captain Lu, don't let your guard down!"
"Rest assured, Major General Lin. You should get some rest too!"
As a researcher, Lin Xiao's performance just now had already stunned him, but after such prolonged intense fighting, Captain Lu feared that he would not be able to endure it.
"I'm fine."
Boom!
A thunderous sound erupted again from the corridor, where the screams had begun to weaken.
A huge bulge rose from the defensive wall, as though something had slammed into it.
Lin Xiao frowned and stared into the corridor. Two figures with extremely powerful energy flows had crashed into the defensive wall.
One of them was connected to several energy lines and was definitely Terminator T-600. As for the other, Lin Xiao could not tell what it was.
Crack!
The battle in the corridor was fierce. The section of defensive wall struck by the impact was smashed apart directly. A body of steel truly could not be compared to one of flesh and blood.
After the defensive wall shattered, the two figures rolled into the laboratory. The figure fighting Terminator T-600 made Lin Xiao's pupils contract.
"I-Iron Man? Iron Man exists in Super Seminary? No, why is he black?"
The opponent wrestling with the Terminator also had a body of steel. The reason Lin Xiao thought it was Iron Man was the miniature nuclear reactor in the enemy's chest.
That thing was simply too iconic. Yet Lin Xiao had doubts, because both its appearance and color differed from what he remembered.
"Captain Lu, come with me!"
Before crossing over, Lin Xiao had watched Super Seminary, though not very carefully. At most, he could recognize the main characters and remembered only the general plot. He vaguely recalled that there seemed to be a Hate People Alliance in Super Seminary.
But regardless of where it had come from, that thing was now an enemy, and Terminator T-600 was definitely no match for it.
"Fall back! Follow Major General Lin!"
The twenty special forces soldiers obeyed orders without hesitation. All of them followed behind Lin Xiao and retreated to the deepest part of the laboratory.
Lin Xiao felt around the wall. A hidden compartment opened, revealing a red button inside.
Swish!
Lin Xiao did not hesitate. He decisively pressed it, and then a sheet of glass descended from the ceiling, sealing off this area.
"Major Lu, I need to apologize. So many soldiers have died because of me. But no matter the outcome, your actions have earned my respect."
This glass was an ultra-synthetic defensive glass specially made by Lin Xiao, stronger than the steel defensive wall.
But this was also the final line of defense. If it broke, these soldiers would all die, and he would not fare any better.
Since things had reached this point, he wanted to thank these soldiers who had fought for him.
"Major General Lin, when the commander sent us here, he told us that you are China's future, China's hope, and the person who will lead the era. So we are not afraid of death. We are fighting for China."
Captain Lu's words rang with conviction, leaving Lin Xiao somewhat stunned. Was this what Chinese soldiers were like? Was this the soul of the military?
"Hahaha, no one's dying. Believe me, you're all good men."
Lin Xiao gave them a military salute, surprised by his own emotions.
Ever since opening the God's Forbidden Zone, his powerful brain had brought powerful rationality, and his emotions had been completely suppressed.
But at this moment, Lin Xiao felt his blood begin to burn again. These lovable soldiers had moved him.
