Battle Memory

Sun Jack's bluff failed. Before he could utter a word, he saw the nine AABs pounce on him like Mount Tai crushing down.

Seeing his body about to be torn to shreds, Sun Jack's mind went blank. In this certain death situation, some vague memories resurfaced in his mind.

Just then, Taipai rushed up from behind, embracing Sun Jack and using his metal body as the last line of defense.

Sharp claws, accompanied by a piercing friction sound, carved three deep cracks on Taipai's armor, revealing the circuit boards underneath.

Looking at the specks of sparks dancing in the air, dense bloodshot lines instantly filled Sun Jack's pupils. A strong emotion surged uncontrollably in his heart. "Hilda!!"

Taipai's sensors suddenly detected a sudden decrease in pressure in its embrace. When it looked down, it found that Sun Jack, who was in its arms, had disappeared.

A piercing metal friction sound erupted from the left. Taipai's entire head spun 180 degrees rapidly, its camera instantly locking onto the source of the sound.

To its left, Sun Jack swung his arm, wielding his long blade like a scalpel and plunging it into the power unit of an AAB.

As the AAB's red camera dimmed instantly, Sun Jack yanked it out forcefully, dodged an attack by shifting his body sideways, and the incoming cold light grazed his skin.

Before the AAB hit the ground, Sun Jack pushed off the ground with his feet, retreated rapidly, and fired a cannon directly at the AAB's chest.

Using this recoil, Sun Jack, half of his body blackened, quickly adjusted his posture in mid-air and leaped onto another AAB like a fierce tiger.

Sun Jack's movement speed wasn't terrifyingly fast, but every inch of his movement was precise, without any wasted motion.

Si Ai, Vajra, and Taipai watched everything unfold before them in utter shock, seeing Sun Jack twist his body, dancing with the metal behemoths with his mere flesh and blood.

Seeing how troublesome Sun Jack was, the remaining AABs' systems automatically began to optimize their tactics. They used one AAB to expose a weakness, deliberately luring Sun Jack into attacking.

The moment Sun Jack attacked, an AAB darted out from his blind spot and bit down fiercely on his fleshy left arm.

It didn't exert full force to bite it off, but instead dragged Sun Jack, intending to make him lose his balance and allow the other AABs to attack.

However, Sun Jack, without hesitation, brought down his blade, directly severing his restrained left arm.

The next moment, the sharp blade in his hand plunged into the AAB's power core at an extremely tricky angle.

His bloodshot pupils rapidly scanned the AAB's data. As Sun Jack controlled the blade to quickly sever three circuits inside the AAB, with a bang, the AAB, deprived of energy, erupted in a ball of fire.

Using the AAB's corpse as cover, Sun Jack dodged the incoming attacks. He extended his severed arm and plunged it directly into the flames to quickly stop the bleeding.

During this time, Sun Jack's actions were without any tremor or delay, as if it wasn't his own hand being roasted.

Once the bleeding from his arm stopped completely, Sun Jack saw the remaining AABs before him. Without any hesitation, he forcefully pushed off the soft grass with his feet and charged towards the Mechanical Leopard.

"What are you standing around for? Hurry up and help Sun Jack!" Taipai immediately charged forward with his gun, followed closely by Si Ai's drones.

To confront metal with flesh and blood was undoubtedly a fantasy, especially with such a vast disparity in strength.

But at this moment, Sun Jack had done it. When the last AAB, with the help of its companions, managed to bite off Sun Jack's prosthetic limb entirely, With both arms severed, Sun Jack opened his mouth wide and bit down hard on the severed arm in mid-air, using all his strength to press the non-arcing blade deep into the AAB's chest.

When the scarred Sun Jack finally pierced and disabled the last AAB, everything within the rain shelter fell completely silent.

The first to rush to Sun Jack's side was Taipai. Sensing lines quickly extended from his hand, rapidly stitching up the ruptured blood vessels within Sun Jack.

At this moment, Sun Jack just stood there blankly, his eyes unfocused, staring ahead.

"Are you okay? Jack! Look at my finger, how many is this?" Taipai asked, supporting him.

Sun Jack opened his trembling mouth, about to say something, but his body went limp, and he completely lost consciousness.

Just as Taipai was about to rush out with Sun Jack, a shout from behind stopped him, "Do you want him to die like this? Let me!"

Si Ai walked over, limping from her leg injury. She glared at Taipai, then squatted beside Sun Jack. A drone flew down from the sky and shot out several light spectra, quickly scanning Sun Jack's injuries.

As Si Ai looked at the data transmitted from the drone, her expression turned grim. "Body temperature 43°, creatinine in blood elevated, atrial rate 1/540, atrial fibrillation..."

Following her rapid commands, the drone quickly extended its metal claws and lifted Sun Jack, flying towards the car.

Just as Taipai was about to follow, Si Ai stopped him, "Don't follow! Go to the basement and complete the commission! And check if the Priest is still alive, and if he is, bring him back!"

"Jack is dying, and you still care about a commission?! My duty is to stay by his side at all times!" At this moment, the edges of Taipai's display turned completely crimson and were flashing rapidly.

"Hey! Iron Lump!" Si Ai poked Taipai's chest metal plate forcefully with her finger, her tone stern. "If you want to save his life! Then find a way to complete the commission! You can't save his life! Only money can save his life now!!"

Watching Taipai turn and walk silently towards the villa, Si Ai looked up at the sky. "Vajra! Help me rent the nearest operating room! It must have a Life Support System, immediately! This kid can't hold on for long!"

"Already found it, sending the location to your UI now. This Monk has already hacked into the car's driving system, I'll drive for you." As Vajra's avatar turned into a data stream and disappeared into the artificial sun, the door of the SUV in the distance automatically opened.

As the car carrying Sun Jack sped away, the entire rain shelter fell silent again, and Taipai froze in place for a moment.

Three seconds later, it rebooted its logic system, began self-diagnostics, and walked towards the villa's main entrance.

Beep... Beep beep..." Sun Jack was woken up by overdue reminders from loan software. A countdown to a final repayment deadline appeared before his eyes.

If the countdown reached zero and he still couldn't repay, Sun Jack knew the consequences clearly, but now, this was not the time to worry about it.

Sun Jack lowered his head with difficulty and saw that he was lying naked on a hospital bed, with tubes for various fluids inserted all over his body.

Just as he reached out and pulled out a few tubes, the door on the left opened, and Si Ai, smoking an e-cigarette, walked in from outside. "Awake?"

"What did you do to me?" Sun Jack asked, a little dazed, his mind still foggy after just waking up.
