Chapter 187: Ambush by the Holy City
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the end, Peter still pretended to be a mutant and left the Mechanical City. This was not difficult for Peter because he had many abilities that were far from what ordinary Genetic Warriors could achieve. His heat ray ability alone could make many people think that he was a mutant.
After leaving the Mechanical City, Peter tried to contact Elina and Frank several times, but to no avail. The smart device always showed that he could not connect to their smart devices.
Peter could only rush back to the camp to meet Barker and the others. He also had to deal with Elise as soon as possible. Previously, they had suspected that Elise was a secret agent from the Mechanical City. However, after meeting Elina, he learned that Elise was actually Elina’s sister, and that Frank was her brother.
These three siblings had been separated when they were very young. Elise entered New York Base City and relied on her own efforts to successfully enter the Genetics College to study. She also became Professor Eugene’s right-hand man.
Peter had no idea why Elise had entered the Genetics College, but after meeting Elina, he learned that she had done so to save their adopted father, who had been kidnapped by the Virgin Mary. He was the man Peter had seen in the mysterious space, a mysterious warrior from the East.
In Peter’s storage space, there were also items that the man had left for him. They contained the mysterious power that the man had mentioned.
After Peter left the Mechanical City, he saw that it would be dark in more than four hours. Thus, he hurried to the camp.
…
There was originally a freshwater lake 832km south of the Mechanical City. Over 100 years ago, the lake water had dried up and formed a large crater. As there were no human settlements nearby, there were also very few mutated creatures here. Only a few mutated vultures flew over this low-lying land.
At the northeast corner of the low-lying land, a slight tremor occurred at the bottom of a small area. As the tremor grew larger, a mechanical roar sounded from outside the low-lying land.
In a short period of time, a mecha appeared at the high ground of the low-lying land. This mecha was more than ten meters tall and had a brand new silver coating. This made the surface of the mecha reflect a dazzling light under the sunlight.
When this mecha jumped to the ground, more mechas appeared. These mechas were very uniform in size, but they were not as large as the previous mecha.
As the mechas entered the low-lying area, a large number of flying mechas appeared in midair. This was a well-trained mecha army. From the crest on the mechas, it could be seen that the mecha army did not belong to any Federation base city in the surroundings.
There was a simplified S logo engraved on the badge. If Peter were here, he would have recognized at a glance that this mecha army belonged to the Holy City. This was an ace mecha army that belonged to the Bishop of the Holy City.
Looking down from above, the ground was quickly filled with various models of mechas. There were smart mechas operated by human consciousness, as well as fire support mechas used for long-range combat. At the back were the security mechas responsible for transporting energy.
Meanwhile, there were also many types of mechas that appeared in the sky. Only a portion of these flying mechas landed in the low-lying land, while the remaining flying mechas stayed in midair and were responsible for keeping a lookout.
At this moment, a small aircraft slowly landed in the center of the marshland. Then, a man dressed in the Holy City uniform walked out of the open hatch. He was General Oria, the highest-ranking commander of this mecha army.
Then, David appeared behind Oria. He was the President of New York Base City for only a few days before Peter had driven him out of the base city. He was now Oria’s adjutant. As much as Oria hated him, he could not ignore the power David was hiding in New York Base City. Only a few people knew about this. Other than the Bishop of the Holy City and Oria, no one else knew that in New York Base City, a team composed entirely of high-level smart mechas was hidden in the basement of the Federal building.
This was also the main reason why the Bishop of the Holy City did not punish David. After all, David had only run out of the base city alone and did not cause any damage to the advanced smart mechas. After they took down the Mechanical City, David would return to New York Base City and awaken the hidden mecha army.
After Oria alighted from the aircraft and arrived at the temporary command room, a secret agent sent him an important message through a special channel.
Oria immediately checked the encrypted information. David, who was beside him, also leaned his head over to see the contents of the information. However, Oria was disgusted by this. If the Bishop of the Holy City had not specifically instructed him to tolerate David, Oria would definitely control the insect in David’s body and let David feel what pain was.
Then, the insect in David’s body controlled David’s body and twisted, as if it had sensed Oria’s thoughts.
The pain in his back made David lose his interest in reading the message. Thus, he left the command center with a gloomy expression.
After David left, Oria began to check the message from the secret agent.
[At 8.47am today, there was an explosion in Area B of Mechanical City. The reason is that there was a small conflict between the heirs of the Virgin Mary. The third heir won and successfully controlled the mechanical body of the Virgin Mary.]
[At 1.12pm today, an unexpected incident occurred at the factory in Area C of the Mechanical City. As a result, mutated mecha beasts were deployed to destroy a fake smart mecha.]
[At 2.42pm today, at the factory in Area C of the Mechanical City, the Virgin Mary’s mechanical body was injured. The injured parts are in her head and chest.]
Oria was not interested in the first two messages. However, when he saw the last message, he finally smiled.
He knew that the attack on the Mechanical City tonight would go smoothly.
When the Virgin Mary’s mechanical body was at its peak state, Oria could estimate its terrifying ability. However, the message sent by the secret agent clearly told the commander of the mecha army that the Virgin Mary’s mechanical body had been severely injured.
After the annoying David left, Oria received another exciting message from a secret agent. This was a rare and blissful message.
Although it was very short, it did not stop him from opening a bottle of red wine that had been stored for a long time. Then, he began to enjoy the momentary good times that belonged only to him.
Meanwhile, outside the temporary command room, various models of mechas had already begun to gather. As Oria’s adjutant, General David raised his wrist and looked at the time. There were still three and a half hours before the attack on the Mechanical City. The mecha army would only need an hour and 25 minutes to reach the base of the Mechanical City.. Thus, they had less than two hours to gather.
