Chapter 270 - Barrier

TL: xDh20, LifeisaJourney

Zhang ShengLi must have been feeling the worst by this point. He felt that it was all his fault that Yin He and Liu Gan had landed in this predicament. If he hadn't been caught, he wouldn't have needed to be rescued. Now both their lives might be forfeited here. It just wasn’t worth the trade.

Liu Gan still hadn't heard anything from Yin He. It looked like she wasn't able to come out unscathed either. With so many armored warriors hunting her down, and the vast difference in their strength, even her guerilla tactics wouldn't be enough to help her fight off one. It was fortunate that she had been able to last this long.

The higher the risk, the higher the reward. However, this difficulty was much harder than expected.

Kingler’s roar echoed as it drew near the piles of bodies. It rammed into the research building, which caused it to collapse. Perhaps due to the prior fighting, the whole foundation had weakened. The building didn't tremble at all, it just directly fell.

The first floor lobby fell with rubble covering a large half of it. Two armored warriors went to the collapsed areas to play the perverted game of smashing watermelon. The other armored warriors cooperated to move away the chunks of cement and rescue their comrades.

Liu Gan was laying just outside the edge of where the building had collapsed. He was completely coated in cement dust. Even the surrounding air had a layer of white powdery dust. The dust, along with the dim lighting of the oncoming thunderstorm, was enough to blur the outlines of the bodies.

After it rammed into the research building, Kingler jumped back onto the other rooftops of the nearby warehouses. After they rescued their comrades the armored warriors didn't immediately return to the courtyard to check the rest of bodies. They shifted their focus to fighting off this monster. Laser barrages started poking more holes into the shell of Kingler.

Kingler felt that the situation wasn't good. Even with its simplistic brain, it knew that it wasn't able to face these miniature warriors, so it launched itself high to jump over the high wall and escape.

That would've been possible for Kingler... had it not been so heavily injured. The high wall which was dozens of meters high, was now an obstacle that it could no longer jump over. It was the last barrier that separated it from freedom.

With its back to the high wall, Kingler was forced to continue battling the pesky miniature warriors. It sustained more injuries as black substances continued to ooze out from its body. It became weaker and weaker, and its attack became less powerful and the accuracy had dropped. It seemed like the Kingler would fall again at any moment.

Liu Gan looked around with minimal movement as he continued playing dead. He was looking for the next suitable hiding spot. He saw a spot in the collapsed rubble of cement and steel frames that could be a suitable hiding spot for all of them. They quickly ran over into the man-made cave, and used a cement sheet to cover up the opening. Even if the armored warriors searched the collapsed building, they wouldn't find Liu Gan and the rest unless they examined the area closely.
