The Most Random System

Chapter 1045: Chapter 473: I’m Standing Right in Front of You, So Why Pretend You Can’t See Me

"Hmm, these ’Black Insects’ can’t fly. If we go higher, they can’t reach us. However, we should be careful; if these ’Black Insects’ return to their nest and relay the information, we might be watched throughout our journey."

Zhu Ning nodded but gritted his teeth and said.

"Then is it best to kill them?" Lin Li halted his escape abruptly upon hearing this.

"But getting close is even more dangerous. To kill them, the most suitable weapon at the moment is the ion blade. Conventional firearms can cause damage, but making a fatal shot to prevent escape is difficult." Zhu Ning, who could see the mecha’s weapon module data, quickly replied.

"Maybe we don’t have to get close." Lin Li looked at the system. "The panel isn’t everything I have. I also have a sniper rifle."

[Death’s Sigh Type 4: For use with designated mecha, generating a perfectly adapted weapon, the Death’s Sigh Type 4 heavy sniper, with amazing power.

Upon generation, it may perform non-detrimental modifications to the mecha itself, making it easier to use this weapon with the mecha. Additionally, it comes with 100 rounds of ammunition.]

There are two more of these in the warehouse.

With a flash of thought, Lin Li materialized it.

——When piloting the mecha, system-generated objects can only be materialized inside the cockpit, not in the mecha’s hands. However, ’Death’s Sigh’ can be used after designating a target, so it does not hinder.

A shadow appeared with the mecha’s hand, began compressing and molding, and finally transformed into a nearly three-meter-long sniper rifle entirely composed of energy.

"Where is the weak spot?" Without waiting for Zhu Ning to comment, Lin Li asked.

"The gap in the head’s carapace. If you can aim along the gap and hit the brain, it could be a one-shot kill."

Lin Li, relying on neural-linked sensory integration, instantly locked the gun sight on the gap in the carapace on a Black Insect’s head below.

Bam—!

Unlike a grand sniper scene, Death’s Sigh didn’t produce a deafening roar, just a dull, soft sound like a sigh echoing across the world.

A beam of tightly compressed pure purple energy almost instantly hit the target the moment the trigger was pulled.

The extremely hard black carapace of the locked-on puncturer’s head, which did not even explode upon being struck by the purple light, collapsed, decomposed, and shattered inward peculiarly like a punctured balloon.

In the span of a breath, the Black Insect silently decomposed into a thick mass of dark green liquid mixed with fragmented remains.

"Damn, that’s so brutal," Lin Li couldn’t help but click his tongue slightly.

Perhaps the death of their companion was too swift, the remaining two did not even register it, and they were still trying to spit acid at Lin Li.

When another companion was sniped, only the last one considered escape, but it was too late.

"Boom—"

A sudden start, an abrupt end.

"Seems like there’s no ambush," Lin Li observed the tranquil ground after the death of the three Black Insects and spoke softly.

Still, he had no interest in checking. After cleaning up these possible informers, Lin Li immediately dashed toward the clouds, trying to conceal his presence.

...

Possibly, the previous elimination was quite effective.

The subsequent time was very stable; after checking the direction a few times, no Black Insect attacks occurred.

When there were only forty minutes left before forced return, Zhu Ning’s excited and slightly fatigued voice finally sounded:

"The frequency has picked up the alliance’s automatic sensing alert tower, Mr. Lin, we are at the edge of the outpost buffer zone."

Almost simultaneously, the mecha also provided a notification.

[Signal source ’Undefined1’ has responded to the signal.]

[Communication established.]

"Azure Alliance Third Exploration Legion Driver No. 097 Zhu Ning, requesting identity verification and initiation of Level 1 wartime response protocol!"

"Carrying top-secret intelligence and S+ grade strategic resources. Request direct liaison with the national core—this information takes precedence over all existing orders!"

"Coordinates have been synced to the operational network. We are heading to these coordinates. Please send someone to connect immediately, I repeat, the situation is urgent! Please send someone to connect immediately!"

Before the other party could ask, Zhu Ning quickly rattled off the words with an urgent tone.

After a brief silence on the other end of the signal, a clear female voice responded: "Acknowledged, we’ve notified [Light Core Two] to proceed to the coordinates to confirm basic information and respond to your request."

"[Light Core Two] has responded. They are on their way to the designated coordinates."

"Please maintain contact."

"Alright!"

No need to emphasize again, Lin Li, who was listening all along, fine-tuned his direction and set off for the coordinates Zhu Ning had just sent.

During this time, Zhu Ning kept explaining the situation to the other side.

It wasn’t too far, and after a few minutes, they successfully arrived, from a distance spotting eight mechas swiftly flying towards them.

"Mr. Lin, you can let me out now."

"Mr. Lin, your... your..." Zhu Ning was placed on the ground as Lin Li opened the hatch, and looked at Lin Li, wanting to say something but hesitated.

"Young Lab, everything’s here."

Lin Li naturally knew what Zhu Ning wanted to say, glanced at the distant mechas that still needed a while to arrive, then opened the cockpit and materialized all the containers of young labs stored in frozen form in the Qiankun Ring onto the ground.

"The smaller the number, the older the age, possibly more mellow, just kidding. I took these out and stored them in a place where time doesn’t flow, so they should all be intact."

Seeing the containers releasing cold air after being brought out, Lin Li returned to the mecha, also reminding:
