Rings of futuristic blue light emanated from the giant steel pillar, resembling surging waves converging towards the top.
Once the blue light reached the top of the giant steel pillar, dazzling rays of light emanated from it.
Ultimately, it transformed into countless beams of light shooting towards the horizon.
These beams of light seemed to be alive, winding and converging at the top of the city after they were launched.
The entire city looked as if it had been covered by an upside-down basketball hoop.
As the beams of light slowly faded, they transformed into a barrier, completely enveloping the entire city.
If Hela could see this scene now, she would definitely find it incredibly familiar.
After all, it was this barrier that initially trapped Hela and prevented her from leaving City A in District A.
"The barrier was set up to prevent [Summer] and [Spring] from arriving early to rendezvous, so it seems they don't have any reinforcements."
Ye Yiqing analyzed the situation to himself for a moment, then silently breathed a sigh of relief.
He leaped to the ground like the wind, heading back towards the direction of the Yuliu.
At the same time, Yuliu and the others also noticed the slowly rising shield.
Looking up at this familiar barrier, [Winter]'s beautiful eyes furrowed slightly.
"Looks like we've probably been discovered."
Her elegant tone showed no panic as she calmly glanced at Yuliu, "Inform your companions."
Yuliu, on the other hand, had already started fiddling with his phone, but his brows were furrowed.
"The network in this area has been monopolized by the Night Star; we are now completely cut off."
"Oh, is that so? Then there's no other way but to wait here for them to reunite."
After saying that [Winter] calmly patted [Autumn]'s head to soothe his nervousness.
Yuliu lit a cigarette. "I have a bad feeling about this."
After saying that, he paused in his act of lighting a cigarette, then quickly lay down on the ground and pressed his ear to the ground.
"Have you discovered anything unusual?"
[Winter] gazed at the Yuliu with those cold eyes, while the Yuliu listened intently to the ground.
The next second, he suddenly stood up, then quickly jumped back, shouting at [Winter] and [Autumn].
"Get out of the way!"
The moment the words left his mouth, an energy blast imbued with immense power shot out from beneath the ground.
The spot where Yuliu had just been standing suddenly exploded, and the towering heat wave and air currents made Yuliu's clothes and hair flutter wildly.
He shielded his face, steadied himself, and hurriedly looked toward the source of the explosion.
[Winter] and [Autumn] appeared dozens of meters away from the explosion, surrounded by a thick layer of blue ice that shielded them from the aftershocks.
At the site of the explosion, a huge crater nearly ten meters in diameter appeared.
Flames danced in the giant crater, and two robots, one black and one white, glowing with blue light, stood silently amidst the smoke.
"So it was a robot. No wonder I couldn't sense any killing intent."
Yuliu spat, quickly pulled out a pistol from his waist, and pulled the trigger at the two robots without hesitation.
Bang--!
A burst of fire erupted from the tiny muzzle of the gun, like a meteorite hurtling towards the robot.
After the two robots rapidly calculated and transmitted information, one of the white robots opened its arms, revealing a light blue shield that enveloped both robots.
Meanwhile, the other black robot turned around, raised its hands, and unhesitatingly fired a high-energy cannon shot into the sky, heading straight for [Winter] and [Autumn].
boom--!
boom--!
Two explosions rang out, one from the Yuliu bullets hitting the robot, and the other from the robot's high-energy cannons striking the ice wall that [Winter] had raised.
Two figures, one in black and one in white, burst out of the thick smoke, ignoring the Yuliu and charging towards [Winter] [Autumn].
Sharp laser blades extended from the robots' arms, and the thrusters on their backs propelled the two robots toward the two men in the blink of an eye.
Two pairs of sharp blades drew four dark blue arcs in the air, slashing down at different angles.
[Winter] Her eyes still showed no sign of panic as she lightly stomped her heels on the ground.
A thin layer of ice quickly formed on the ground.
Just as the blade was about to strike him, he pulled [Autumn] backward and slid him away.
The deadly laser blade grazed past her eyes.
At the same time, [Autumn] gripped the chains tightly and swung them forcefully at the two robots in front of her.
A powerful force traveled along the chain to the sickle attached to the top of it.
The scythe on [Autumn]'s back was instantly pulled, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air as it slashed at the two machines, one black and one white.
The robot, still in attack mode, had no chance of withstanding this fierce attack.
At that very moment, the powerful AI computing power was pushed to its limit, and in just 0.001 seconds, it found a way to minimize the loss.
The white robot's attacks didn't stop; instead, it immediately deactivated its laser vibration and punched the black robot next to it.
The powerful force sent the latter flying backward, crashing heavily into a nearby house.
That's why the attack, which should have hit both robots, only managed to cut a huge gash in the white robot's chest.
[Autumn]'s little face was filled with horror.
Not only were they surprised by the robots' swift reaction, but they were also taken aback by their formidable defenses.
In his naive assumption, these inanimate objects should have been sliced in half by his powerful series of strikes.
But the result was merely breaking through the opponent's defenses.
These two robots are top-tier in terms of combat reaction speed, combat experience, attack power, and even defense.
Its overall strength has reached the upper-middle level of ' Starlight '!
"It looks like Ye Xingye's latest combat machine, much more powerful than the ones assigned to the squad."
Standing not far away, Yuliu calmly lit the unlit cigarette he had been holding in his mouth.
Without hesitation, he pulled out his pistol and fired at the white robot that had been slashed.
And in the very next second, Yuliu's keen peripheral vision detected a blue light shining from the ruins beside him.
The bullets originally aimed at the white robot were immediately deflected by the Yuliu and fired at the blue figure.
Bang--!
A towering flame collided with a blue energy blast.
It produces a large amount of gunpowder smoke.
Through the smoke, Yuliu could clearly see that the culprit that fired the energy blast was the black robot that had been knocked away.
"They even coordinate with each other, it's really difficult."
Although he said that, there was no fear or even seriousness on his face.
He simply stretched his neck a couple of times, then pulled a dagger from his waist and held it in his left hand.
With his other hand, he continued to raise his gun and fire three shots at the black robot.
Bang--!
Bang--!
Bang--!
