Chapter 1473: No Suspense

The sun gradually fell and the night arrived.

For people living in the urban areas, the nightlife had just begun.

In stark contrast to the brightly lit urban area, the night in the suburbs came a little earlier.

The time had just passed 10 o’clock, the flow of traffic on the main maglev road had become slow. As for the small roads that went deep into the residential area, there were almost no cars coming or going.

However, at this moment, a truck drove slowly into the residential area along a small road.

An illegal activity was detected. The traffic police drone parked on the side of the road flew towards the truck.

However, just as the drone was preparing to persuade the driver in the truck to leave, it was hit by a light blue electric current.

As if it was short-circuited, the drone soon emitted black smoke and fell to the ground.

The robot put the EMP pistol back into his pocket. It pressed the button to open the cargo compartment door.

As the alloy door opened outward, robots with rifles in their hands walked towards the mansion next to them, surrounded by drones.

In front of the door, one of the robots took out a toolbox from the backpack and was about to open the door.

However, at this moment, the door in front of them opened by itself.

A string of characters appeared on the holographic window of the access control system.

[(⃔*`꒳ ́*)]

The moment he saw the string of characters, Chester, who was sitting in a van a few kilometers away, had a bad feeling in his heart.

However, he couldn’t tell where this bad feeling came from.

He clenched his teeth, thinking that since he had already reached this point, it was too late to turn around now.

He stared at the door on the screen, thinking that the enemy who killed his friends was inside. A bloodthirsty wave of anger suddenly ignited in his heart. He gave an attack command with a grin.

“I’ll see where you are hiding this time!”

The moment the attack order was issued, the dozen or so robots standing at the door immediately unlocked their weapons’ safety switches, then went into the open door with the weapons in their hands.

However, at this moment, something suddenly happened!

The dozen or so robot militants who stepped on the lawn suddenly felt like they had received an EMP shock. Light blue electric sparks burst out from the back of their necks and pupils one after another.

The momentum of the offense suffered a severe setback straight from the beginning.

Chester, who was sitting behind the screen and remotely controlling all of this, could only watch the robots being turned into metal scrap. He still didn’t know what happened.

“Sh*t…”

The cameras turned into white noise one after another. Chester panicked. He immediately tapped his hands on the holographic screen continuously, locking every window of the mansion.

Soon, dozens of four-rotor drones floated from the top of the truck.

Their cruise path and detonation time were set at the fastest speed. Chester decisively activated offline mode.

The drones that were shielded from all external signals were like cruise missiles. They dove and hit the mansion.

However, at this moment, an even more frightening scene appeared in front of Chester.

The movements of the robots that were hit by an EMP attack suddenly became flexible.

Not only that, the muzzle of each of them instantly turned and locked to the group of drones flying in the air, then they pulled the trigger.

The orange flames flickered in the sky. After colliding with the rain of bullets, the drones looked like dead flies. They were shot down to the ground one after another.

The light of the explosion lit up the lawn in the front yard of the mansion. Many robots were destroyed by the explosions; some were even blown in the air.

Chester watched the group of robots and drones killing each other through the holographic screen. His mouth was wide open. He had completely lost his words.

He couldn’t figure out what happened to those smart devices the moment he gave the attack command.

“This is impossible…”

Chester looked at the only robot soldier standing in the flames. A flame of hope ignited in his heart. His fingers tapped on the holographic keyboard quickly, trying to find out the loopholes in the program and regain control of this robot.

However, even though the ideas were beautiful, the reality was cruel.

Five minutes passed. No matter how hard he tried, the robot standing on the lawn with the rifle in his hand seemed to have not heard his orders; he stood there without saying a word.

“Damn, what happened?! Start moving! F*ck!”

An ominous premonition enveloped Chester’s heart.

For some reason, he had never been afraid of anything. But when he looked at the motionless robot soldier on the screen, he suddenly felt an unprecedented fear.

It was as if the person being manipulated was not the robot, but it was himself. Invisible lines tied up his hands and feet, manipulating everything from behind the scenes.

He tried one last time to obtain control authority of the robot. After seeing no effect, Chester decisively gave up the smart devices he had delivered to the battlefield and started the van.

[The intelligent navigation system has been turned on and is connecting you to the magnetic levitation road network…]

“Disconnect! Use road navigation mode!”

[Switched to road navigation mode.]

The reason why the maglev road network was not connected was that it was monitored by the Pan-Asian Cooperation Police Department and the Security Bureau.

As soon as the gunfire sounded, the maglev roads in this area were no longer safe for him.

After starting the van, he began to hit the road. As Chester looked at the scenery passing by the window, his nervous mood relaxed a little.

However, just as he turned on the holographic computer and was about to troubleshoot the previous malfunction, a string of characters of unknown meaning suddenly popped up on the holographic screen.

The moment he saw the line of characters, Chester was stunned.

[(⃔*`꒳ ́*)]

“…?”

What is this?

A figure suddenly appeared in the middle of the highway.

The man wore a raincoat and stood defenselessly in the middle of the road.

With the hood obscuring his face, even the high beams coming from the van could not allow Chester to see his eyes. However, an unreasonable intuition told him that this guy was looking at him and was coming towards him.

Chester immediately threw down the holographic computer and held the steering wheel with both hands.

“Activate manual mode!”

[Failed to activate.]

Chester: “???”

Like a wild horse running off the rein, the uncontrolled van crashed into the person standing in the middle of the road.

No, to be precise, that was not a person.

No person would ever be able to survive such a crash. It was like he crashed into a telephone pole.

The van that hit the man was completely totaled; debris and glass were flying everywhere.

Chester, who was stuck in the driver’s seat, had blood on his forehead.

Finally, he saw the steel body full of murderous air under the raincoat.

Chester watched the robot take the computer from his van. His heart was filled with despair; he gradually gave up his hope of survival.

“What a terrible guy I provoked…”

He sighed. His eyes slowly closed.

He’s an old man from 100 years ago, but he’s terrifyingly powerful…

At the door of the mansion a few kilometers away, the police came after hearing the gunshots.

The robot on the lawn thought for a while. He pointed the muzzle at his memory card, then pulled the trigger.

The heavily armed special police began to step forward and control the scene.

Although there were no casualties, a large number of weapons appeared in the Pan-Asian territory. This was undoubtedly a severe issue for the public security of the Yangtze River Delta city group.

Standing by the window, Lu Zhou watched the police officer, who he saw yesterday, walk towards the door of the mansion with two police officers. Lu Zhou cast his gaze to Xiao Ai, who was standing at his side, and asked, “How is Ling doing?”

“The guy who threatened Master’s safety has been dealt with! Ling found his personal computer from the car! There are many interesting things in it. Does Master want to read it now? (๑•̀ᄇ•́)و✧”

Lu Zhou thought about it and spoke.

“Wait until I meet the guests first.”

While he was speaking, a light blue holographic window was projected in front of him.

The police officer standing at the door rang the doorbell politely and looked at the monitor at the door.

“Hello, Academician Lu, we are from the Jin Ling City Security Bureau—”

Halfway through his words, the door in front of him opened automatically.

The police officer was slightly taken aback.

Then Lu Zhou’s face appeared on the screen of the access control system.

“The doorway is not a place to talk. Come into the living room.”
