Chapter 1543 - The Only Way to Communicate with Them (2/2)
She was there for two purposes: to confirm the status of N-6 and take it back if she could, and to cover a few members of the team while there were retreating, so that they could tell the rest of the camp to get away from the place as soon as possible. Now that there was no way to bring back N-6 on the spot, and the goal of covering the retreat of others had been achieved, then she would withdraw…
As soon as N-4 had the idea of retreating she was stunned by a lightning ball falling from the sky.
Hao Ren watched the female soldier in the distance who was stunned by the lightning ball and froze for a moment. “Didn’t we say we try to communicate with them first…”
Vivian looked a little embarrassed, too. “The gravity on this planet isn’t quite the same as on earth, and the bats didn’t figure out their path — I was just going to throw the lightning ball right next to them to scare them so they’d be quiet and listen to us…”
Hao Ren covered his forehead and said, “… Well, it’s not a big problem. It seems that there’s no peaceful communication this time anyway.”
Vivian conjured up a new bat. The little bat then released the bright electric light, like a dazzling lightning ball. Vivian tossed the little bat up and down and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve found that electromagnetic attacks work especially well for these guys… But then again, Nolan said half of them had retreated into the woods soon after the firefight. Are we going to go after them?”
“No, just get some of them back.”
The sudden fall of N-4 caused a brief moment of confusion among the crew. They found that the aliens in the spaceship were launching a counterattack, so they immediately switched to a defensive retreat. One of them wanted to take N-4 back but another lightning ball hit him in the face when he was halfway there.
Then came a lightning storm, like cannon fire plowing the ground.
Vivian’s electromagnetic attack was very effective for these attackers. Hao Ren had no chance to help at all. He just watched as Vivian floated in the air throwing balls of lightning and knocked all the attackers unconscious.
Several of the attackers were quickly tied up and taken to an empty cabin on Petrachelys.
N-6 looked at her former teammates and asked worriedly, “Are they… all right?”
“Don’t worry, they’re not dead. They just passed out.” Hao Ren could not figure out what they want and why did they attack them. And what surprised Hao Ren more was that: each of them, like N-6, was a robot — a team made entirely of robots.
No wonder Vivian’s electromagnetic attack was so effective on them. Although these high-tech artificial fighters also had protection against electromagnetic strikes, such as core systems with the electromagnetic shielding protection layer, to be honest, it was nothing to Vivian’s lightning balls.
N-4 and several members of the operation did not remain unconscious for long. The EMP shock only triggered the emergency protection mechanism of their logic circuits but did not cause much damage to their bodies. The data terminal commanded a few autonomous bots to give these robots electrotherapy and then successfully restarted all of them.
As soon as N-4 opened her eyes, she saw a man with short hair with a smile on his face and a woman with scarlet eyes standing in front of her. N-6 was standing with them, and behind them also stood a couple of men and women, watching her.
And she was firmly attached to a metal chair by some kind of strong binding device.
Captured, captured by a group of human-like aliens.
N-4 ran her logic circuits at full speed, analyzing the situation and planning an effective escape plan, or a self-destruct plan if it did not work. But before she could speak, the smiling man said, “I’m sorry to have to say hello this way, but you won’t talk to us in a calm way, so we have to force you to.”
N-4 stared warily at the man in front of him and said nothing.
Hao Ren got a little headache. Another robot. And this robot looked far less easy to communicate than N-6. He remembered that N-6 had come to a happy agreement with them shortly after waking up, but this robot was not even willing to talk to him…
He could not blame N-4, after all, the two contacts were very different. N-6 was saved by him, but N-4’s situation was totally different. She was attacked by electromagnetic rifle bullets, 10000 volts of high voltage, and subsonic bats…
