Xia Chujian felt a pang of tension.
But Seven Lù typed on her eyepiece display.
[Seven Lù]: Master, directly behind you at eight o'clock, there's a two-headed Shang Person holding two sniper rifles, aiming again.
Xia Chujian widened her eyes in disbelief.
A Shang Person holding sniper rifles?!
This shock was no less than seeing a Wild Rhinoceros Pig driving a Starry Sky Cruiser in front of her! And they were planning to aim again from the same spot?! Did they know how to snipe or not? Xia Chujian's body moved faster than her brain.
Without even turning around, her right arm, still equipped with the Xia Zhi 085 Assault Rifle.
This type of gun was considered a simplified sniper rifle on land.
It's just that the power of the bullets wasn't as great as a Sniper Bullet, and the aiming system wasn't as intelligent as a real sniper rifle.
But in Xia Chujian's hands, it was no different from a sniper rifle.
She reached back and fired two shots! A muffled boom echoed from the eight o'clock direction behind her.
Someone seemed to be lifted by something, falling backward with a thud, crashing heavily to the ground.
Xia Chujian quickly turned around, the Shao Siming Mecha activated, and with a whoosh, flew towards where the heavy object had landed.
Behind the dense ferns, a two-headed Shang Person lay on his back.
He had two heads and four arms, no wonder he could operate two sniper rifles at the same time.
But now, each of his heads had a round bullet hole in the forehead.
This was caused by Xia Chujian's Assault Rifle bullets, which directly blew out his brains.
In the face of unerring bullets, no amount of heads was useful.
Xia Chujian didn't look at this strange-shaped Shang Person for long. She bent down, picked up a sniper rifle, and examined it closely.
Although the sniper rifle had been modified, Xia Chujian recognized it at a glance as a modified Adjudicator No. 7 Sniper Rifle.
But the barrel was thicker and shorter, and the scope was just an ordinary optical scope, not the current intelligent scope.
Judging by the length, thickness, and level of intelligence, it was clearly modified according to the Shang Person's physique.
Which armory was so considerate? Xia Chujian scorned in her heart.
As usual, after taking a video as evidence, Xia Chujian called people over to collect the corpse of this Shang Person.
This was a Shang Person who knew how to use conventional Thermal Weapon, and couldn't be burned in a fire like the previous Shang People.
Because this meant that the danger faced by them, the outsiders on this planet, had escalated.
Previously, Xia Chujian only thought that the Shang People were primitive natives who only knew how to use wooden sticks and stones. Even if they stood still and didn't fight back, these Shang People couldn't do anything to them in their Mecha.
But now, these Shang People had weapons that could penetrate conventional Mecha, and none of her soldiers were safe! Xia Chujian waved her hand, dismissing the people who came to collect the corpse, and continued walking alone through the dense ferns.
Until she had walked far into the woods, Seven Lù quietly typed on her eyepiece display.
[Seven Lù]: Master, there are no bipedal creatures within ten miles. You can speak now.
It seemed to understand that Xia Chujian was walking deep into the forest to find a place where she could talk to Seven Lù without being discovered by others.
Xia Chujian switched back to her original voice somewhat uncomfortably.
She said, "Does 'no bipedal creatures' mean there are still reptiles here?"
Seven Lù said, "Yes, there isn't much surface water accumulation in this area, only half a meter deep."
"So there are some reptile mutant animals around, for example, a crab as big as a fully grown pig is scuttling behind you."
Xia Chujian: "..."
She turned her head, her mind racing, and the Mecha's mechanical arm instantly equipped an Assassin 110 Hand Cannon.
With a casual shot, the crab that was as big as a pig, which was sneaking behind her and trying to attack her, was hit in its small head.
No matter how small the head was, it was still its fatal point.
Xia Chujian turned back and walked over, looking at the crab as big as a pig, and clicked her tongue: "This crab isn't particularly big, the meat should be quite delicious."
Of course, this was in comparison to the three-meter-tall crab from before.
Unfortunately, the radiation content was simply too high.
Even though it was dead, the crab shell still emitted a faint green glow from the inside out.
Xia Chujian turned and left.
A dark, long, and narrow creature suddenly darted out, dragging away the dead, pig-sized crab.
Xia Chujian didn't mind.
After these things die, they become food for others. It's survival of the fittest, nothing to fuss about.
Once she reached the depths of the forest, Xia Chujian stopped and leaped up.
The Shao Siming Mecha's kinetic energy was fully activated, instantly breaking through the dense branches of the Coral Trees and fern trees, arriving at the treetop of this marine plant forest.
The tallest trees here were close to a thousand meters.
Standing on the treetop and looking out, she no longer saw dense stems and branches. She could see very far, and it felt like she was especially close to the sky.
It was dusk, the setting sun was like molten gold, and the evening clouds were like conjoined bi jade. The sunset glow in the sky was like a heavily colored oil painting.
Large patches of deep, almost black, violet were divided by chunks of dazzling gold and orange.
In the distance, the multicolored Coral Trees, illuminated by the sunset glow, looked as if the colors of the sky had flowed down, dyeing them the same colors as the sunset glow in the sky.
The magnificent scene was dazzling.
Xia Chujian took a deep breath, her pent-up feelings eased, and even the tension in her brain relaxed.
She ran back and forth on the thousand-meter-high treetop, her steps light, as if treading on clouds.
After a while, she stopped, covered in sweat, and sat down on a soft, fluffy treetop.
"Seven Lù, our plan has to change."
Seven Lù's childish voice was a little timid: "Master, what is your plan?"
Xia Chujian: "..."
Seven Lù truly lived up to being a high-level Mechanical Intelligence. That stab was almost fatal.
Xia Chujian sighed and said, "Seven Lù, you're right, I don't really have a plan."
"Or rather, my plan was based on the information the base provided."
"Now the base's information is so wrong it's like it's from Guiyuan Star, so of course it can't be used."
"So my plan is also ruined, it has to be changed."
Seven Lù still asked in a childish voice, "Then what was Master's original plan?"
Xia Chujian rubbed her neck and said, "My original plan was to find the location on this Senze Star where the Longevity Flying Fish had appeared, and directly capture the Longevity Flying Fish ridden by the Shang People."
"But you saw it too, that Longevity Flying Fish was exchanged by the Military a month ago..."
Seven Lù obediently said "Oh," and asked, "So Master thinks that we can't catch a second Longevity Flying Fish here?"
Xia Chujian said, "I don't know, because my previous judgment was wrong. This is probably not the nest of the Longevity Flying Fish."
"Also, those Shang People are not as primitive and backward as we thought."
"They even have secret deals with the Beichen Empire's Military, or traitors within the Military."
"Those traitors not only provide the Shang People with human stock to help them improve their offspring, but also provide them with weapons."
"In this situation, how can I feel safe releasing those Starry Sky Marines directly?"
"Even if they have Mecha, the Shang People also have sniper rifles."
A Sniper Bullet from the Beichen Empire, one ordinary type that can't penetrate conventional Mecha, but two or three, or even five or ten, and it's not certain.
And as soon as the Mecha is damaged, these Starry Sky Marines will be completely unable to resist the nuclear radiation here.
Xia Chujian closed her eyes, anxious.
Seven Lù praised her in a cute voice: "Master is right! Then our plan has to be changed."
Xia Chujian said, "Seven Lù, do you have any plans?"
Seven Lù was silent for a moment, then said, "Seven Lù has no plans, only a goal."
Xia Chujian was curious, "Seven Lù has a goal? What goal is it?"
Seven Lù said, "To protect the master's life."
"No matter what happens, I must protect the master's life."
Xia Chujian was both touched and amused, and said, "Seven Lù is just a one-month-old child. You don't need to protect me, I should be the one protecting Seven Lù!"
Seven Lù: "..."
Its established program suddenly went into chaos.
Because no one had ever said they wanted to protect the safety of a Mechanical Intelligence.
This not only violated its underlying logic, but also made its processor operate so fast it was about to burn out.
It was frantically searching its database to see if there was any similar data to provide logical assistance, so it could generate a proper response.
But it couldn't find it...
Xia Chujian didn't expect Seven Lù to say anything. She looked up at the sky, which was gradually darkening after being extremely bright, and the full moon that was gradually revealing its outline. Thoughts swirled in her mind.
She pondered, "Seven Lù, the female Starry Sky Marine who sacrificed herself earlier gave me a coordinate address, saying it was the nest of the Longevity Flying Fish. Do you think it's credible?"
Seven Lù said, "Does the master want Seven Lù to verify the coordinate location?"
Xia Chujian knew that Seven Lù also "saw" the coordinate location through the helmet's built-in camera.
She said, "Check it out and see where it is."
As a result, after Seven Lù searched its database, it frowned and said, "That coordinate location is in the south, basically at the South Pole of this Senze Star."
"It's too far away from here, a straight-line distance of 100,000 li. Seven Lù's radar system can't scan that far."
Xia Chujian frowned, "We only have two weeks, we should still scout the area first."
She suddenly looked up and said, "Seven Lù, do you know what the Longevity Flying Fish eat?"
Seven Lù's childish voice was a little confused: "...Food? What do Longevity Flying Fish eat?"
"Yes!"
After a while, Seven Lù replied in a childish voice, "In Seven Lù's database, Longevity Flying Fish eat Alligator Dragons."
Xia Chujian was surprised: "...Alligator Dragons?! What kind of creature is that?"
Seven Lù's childish voice was serious, "Alligator Dragons are the mounts of the Haidagong Deep Divers in the seabed."
Xia Chujian said, "Where are the Alligator Dragons?"
Seven Lù said, "The Alligator Dragons are of course on the seabed, that is, the seabed below the accumulated material on the water surface."
This is the second update. There will be a new update at 0:05 tonight.
PS: I saw a treasure put a "Anti-PUA Expert" label on our Xia Chujian's character, haha, it's quite interesting, treasures, go and give it a like?
