"You're a coward! What are you explaining for? Last time you almost died, it scared the shit out of you," Sun Jack said contemptuously, while quickly observing the surroundings.

At this moment, the car had passed the scan and entered the security checkpoint. The rich area was noticeably more spacious, with few people, and unusually, there was even greenery.

Villas were hidden within spherical rainproof covers, making it impossible for outsiders to see inside. From a distance, they looked like giant eggs.

"Don't think I did nothing. I spent a lot of money to find resources." Just then, Sun Jack noticed a spherical cover in the distance light up slightly, marking it.

"That's his place. The rocker kid chose Gao Feng Technology's Silver package. It's guarded by six robots, four regular humanoid ones, armed with M221 Salato, with R-46 Storm as backup. They have four regular defensive grenades and two flashbangs. Si Ai, Jack, and Taipai will handle this. Any problems?"

As Song 6 spoke, the robot models, their weapon parameters, and even their kinetic core weak points quickly appeared before Sun Jack.

Clearly, this guy had done some preparatory work, which lessened Sun Jack's dissatisfaction.

"There are also two AAB Beast Types. Priest, you dealt with this model when you were in the army. Will you have a problem cooperating with them to deal with it later?"

The Priest, wearing sunglasses, remained silent. He simply loaded his bullets and nodded slightly.

"Okay, as for the online stuff, it's all up to Vajra. We're almost there, get ready, the gate is opening."

As the rain cover rose, Sun Jack saw a warm artificial sun inside, emerald green grass, a villa constructed like a giant treehouse, and two young pet dogs playing ball on the lawn.

Even more special was the crisp and pleasant birdsong BGM. The tranquil and beautiful, almost heavenly scene within the rain cover made Sun Jack almost think he was dreaming. The contrast between the living conditions of the poor and the rich was too great.

"Fuck me, is this where rich people live?" Si Ai picked up a cigarette and leisurely admired everything around her. She seemed to be seeing it for the first time as well.

Just then, Sun Jack saw a person in a tailcoat walking towards them.

"Didn't you say there was no one inside?" With a "swish," a blade crackling with electric arcs sprang from Sun Jack's forearm.

"Relax, it's just the Butler AI, not a living person. The exterior is synthetic skin. Vajra has already broken through the villa's network firewall. It'll be done soon."

The butler robot arrived politely in front of the car. Just as it was about to say something, its body twitched as if it had jammed.

After twitching violently a few times, its body went limp and it collapsed onto the ground, continuously playing heavy metal Buddhist scriptures composed of various 0101s from its mouth.

Immediately after, the artificial sun hanging on the rain cover flickered on and off, and the pleasant BGM turned into low, solemn Buddhist scriptures.

Then, Vajra's virtual projection, dressed as Buddha, appeared from outside the sun. "Benefactors, I... have handled the internal network, surveillance auto-alarm, and hacker defense. The soundproofing is also on. Hurry up and act, but Gao Feng Technology's ICE is too strong. I can't hack the security robots, you'll have to deal with them yourselves."

As soon as the voice finished, four robots rapidly rose from the four corners of the villa and charged towards them, weapons in hand.

"Fuck this, acting all high and mighty." Taipai grumbled and was the first to rush out of the car.

Hearing the sound of gunfire outside, Sun Jack took a deep breath, picked up a Combat Potion, and forcefully injected it into his neck.

In an instant, everything around him seemed to slow down slightly, and Sun Jack's senses became incredibly sharp.

Sun Jack quickly pushed the door open and rushed out, directly placing his gun on Taipai's shoulder, using Taipai's sturdy body as a shield as he charged towards the security robots ahead.

"Let's take one out quickly! Don't let them coordinate!" Sun Jack continuously pulled the trigger, causing sparks to fly from the security robot's neck.

But Taipai was tough, and these robots weren't much softer. Even though they were being shot at constantly, they wouldn't fall. The metal material composing their bodies was clearly bulletproof.

Seeing this, Sun Jack directly raised his prosthetic limb. As his five fingers bent backward, a dark muzzle appeared in Sun Jack's palm.

With a "whoosh," a shell flew out, accompanied by a violent explosion. The robot was blown to pieces.

"This useless junk. You should have just bought a few rocket launchers back then," Taipai said disdainfully, shaking the submachine gun in his hand.

"Easy for you to say! Do you know how much rocket launchers cost? Can we afford them? Stand still, don't wobble," Sun Jack placed the muzzle on Taipai's shoulder and fired another shell at another robot.

Meanwhile, the robot that had been exchanging fire with Si Ai beside them also fell to the ground, sparks flying and twitching uncontrollably. The strange-looking long gun in her hand seemed to be a sniper rifle; a shot from it took off half of the robot's body.

Just as Sun Jack and the other two focused their attention on the last robot, the lush villa, shaped like a treehouse, slowly opened its garage door.

Four red lights illuminated the dark garage. Vajra in the sky immediately warned, "Careful! It's an AAB!!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, a black afterimage shot out from the garage, lunging towards Sun Jack and Taipai.

That thing was incredibly fast. If Sun Jack hadn't taken combat stimulants, he wouldn't have even reacted.

But even if his senses could keep up, his physical reaction speed couldn't. In the face of crisis, the only thing he could do was push Taipai hard.

Sun Jack's intention was to use the push to separate them both, but he had clearly underestimated Taipai's weight. This wasn't space.

He himself was pushed back, but Taipai remained standing in place.

With a "bang" and the sound of a violent metal collision, Taipai was sent flying by the afterimage, crashing through the canopy and creating a hole.

Sun Jack, who was skidding on the ground, felt a burning pain in his arm. Fortunately, because the ground was covered in grass, his skin wasn't scraped.

As he struggled to his feet, he finally saw what had attacked them.

It was a car-sized robot panther. Its entire body had a smooth, streamlined shape, and it was matte black all over. If not for some exposed joints, one wouldn't be able to tell it was a metal construct.

Even more bizarrely, its lower body, just like a normal male leopard, had a rod.

At this moment, the thing stared intently at Sun Jack's metal prosthetic eye with its red cybernetic eye, as if scanning and analyzing, or perhaps wary of something.

Before he could escape his predicament, another black shadow shot out from the garage again, streaking towards Si Ai beside him.
