Chapter 449 -338: Infiltrator_1

For scavengers, nothing was more desperate than falling into the hands of the Mechanical Legion.

The man cowering in the corner at this moment was staring blankly at the prison door in front of him, unmoving. The room was small and dirty, filled with a stench. But no one cared about such trifles. They just trembled and huddled in place, waiting for their inevitable death to come.

These people were all scavengers. Not everyone had the courage to join the resistance. Many just wanted to survive, hiding in the ruins and living off the garbage and food found there. Of course, once these people were discovered by the Mechanical Legion, their fate would be grim. It was a blessing to be killed on the spot by those robots, but what was more horrifying was… many would be captured by these robots and sent to the prisons in the base.

No one knew what these robots wanted to do with them. They only knew that those who were taken away… never returned.

Now, they felt like pigs waiting to be slaughtered, only able to wait in despair for death’s arrival. Perhaps the next time their prison doors opened would be these scavengers’ hour of death.

“Boom!!”

But just as they were waiting in despair to die, suddenly, a violent explosion came from above. Hearing this, the people sitting in the cage were startled, their eyes wide open as they looked at each other.

“What’s going on?”

“Could it be the Resistance Army coming to rescue us?”

Soon someone spoke optimistically, but was immediately shut down.

“Don’t even think about it. How can that be? This is the territory of those damn robots!”

“But…”

“Boom!!”

Amid their debate, there was another series of explosions and gunfire from above. Hearing these sounds, the prisoners perked up.

“Sure enough, the Resistance Army is here. They are fighting!”

Reason told them that this was unlikely because they were imprisoned in a base located deep in the enemy territory. Normally, the resistance could not infiltrate so deep. But the sound of battle and gunfire was palpable. Robots have no hobby of training, so it must mean that a battle was taking place!

“Boom boom boom boom boom!!!”

Accompanied by a series of explosions, suddenly, the whole room darkened. Then, the prison doors automatically opened.

“Quick, quickly go!!”

Seeing the prison doors open, the prisoners rejoiced and rushed out. Although they didn’t know the situation outside, at this moment, their overriding desire to survive overrode everything else. They stumbled down the dark passage, screaming and cursing echoed, but no one paid attention to it. All they hoped for was to quickly escape from this dreadful hell!

“Up ahead, there’s the exit!!”

The scavenger running in the front crossed the corridor and saw the light at the end. He was overjoyed to the point of tears. He saw the scavenger speeding up again, running clumsily towards the end of the corridor.

However, the moment he dashed out of the corridor, suddenly, a massive hand holding the head of a mechanical soldier whizzed past his nose. Then it smashed a Terminator onto the wall, turning it into a pile of rubble.

“………”

Seeing this, the smile on the scavenger’s face froze instantly. He looked up fearfully and found a terrifying, towering figure standing outside the door. He was twice as tall as a man, wearing black armor all over his body. The shoulder pads and chest armor were adorned with white skull patterns. Even the helmet he wore seemed like an intimidatingly ferocious skull, emitting a bloody red light from the eye sockets.

“………”

The moment he was stared at by this figure, the scavenger blacked out and fainted on the spot.

“Huh, another one bites the dust.”

Duanmu Huai retracted his hand, looked at the twitching scavenger on the ground, and said.

At this time, Ann and Lorena also came over.

“Really, Sir Knight, I told you not to frighten people like this.”

“What’s the difference? If you guys went, these guys would only become more audacious. Don’t think they are pitiful because they were caught by the robots. People who are pitiful often have a hateful side.”

Duanmu Huai snorted coldly, looking again at the prisoners paralyzed in the hallway, hesitant to come in or go out.

“All get out! Line up quickly! Otherwise, I will smash you all into mincemeat!”

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s ferocious roar, the prisoners shuddered, but under his watchful glare, they still came out.

Seeing this, Axelle didn’t know what to say, but she could understand why Duanmu Huai did this. In fact, this wasn’t the first Skynet Base they had crushed. Along the way, they had beaten several bases of Skynet, and quite a few prisoners were caught in these bases.

At first, the girls did think that these prisoners were pitiful. But, to their surprise, the rescued prisoners turned on them!

As for these people, Duanmu Huai certainly wouldn’t indulge them. He pulverized them into a pulp with a few blows of his hammer and then drove away the other prisoners.

“These fellows have already given up on this world. They are alive merely out of primitive instinct. In fact, for many people, morals and order have completely collapsed. They now hope to have a little fun just before everything is destroyed.”

Faced with Duanmu Huai’s argument, the girls could only obediently listen.

So, after that, whenever they were about to breach Skynet’s base, they generally let Duanmu Huai play the role of the bad guy. He would scare the prisoners into compliance and then let the other girls play the role of the good cop, before finally letting them go.

Just like now.

“All of you, get out! Stand straight!”

Under Duanmu Huai’s roar, the prisoners timidly walked out of the passage to the outside. They looked around and were shocked to see that the towering steel walls that had enclosed this massive mechanical fort had been destroyed. There were mechanical soldier debris and drones everywhere, even the colossal machinery that had been guarding the fortress was now in flames, reduced to nothing but debris.

What on earth had happened?

Everyone looked around, too scared to even breathe. However, no one dared to disobey orders, they simply stood as ordered by the Steel Giant.

Duanmu Huai then looked up, staring at these people, and extended his hand.

“You can go now, and you, you, you…”

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai pointed at the prisoners. They were taken aback and stood unmoving at their spots, not knowing what to do next.

“What? Do I have to kick you out?”

“No, no…!”

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s voice, the prisoners who were pointed at quickly scampered away from the group. Many prisoners left, some of them ran through the gap in the wall without looking back, others just stood at the gap, anxiously looking around, seemingly waiting for their loved ones and companions.

Then, suddenly, an accident occurred.

“Mum…! Mum…!”

When the majority of the prisoners had already left, a little girl apparently could no longer bear the terror and ran to her mother screaming and crying. However, seeing this, Duanmu Huai’s eyes flashed with a spark of understanding. He then made a sudden move, stretching out his right hand towards the girl. The running girl then collapsed under some invisible force, Duanmu Huai then walked over deliberately, grabbed the girl and lifted her up.

“My child! My child, give me back my child!”

Seeing this, a woman standing at the gap ran frantically to Duanmu Huai’s side, desperately knocking on his armor. However, her attacks couldn’t hurt Duanmu Huai at all. He did not even glance at her; his gaze was fixed on the child in his hand. Then Duanmu Huai looked down at the woman.

“She is not your child.”

As his words fell, he reached out and grabbed the upper body and legs of the little girl, and with a jerk, tore the girl in half!

Seeing this, the prisoners were stunned!

However, as they were still in shock, Duanmu Huai suddenly tossed the torn body of the girl onto the ground.

At this moment, everyone looked intently and was shocked to see that the girl’s body was full of operating machinery!

“Mum… Mum… Mum…”

In fact, even though she had been torn in two by Duanmu Huai, the girl was still waving her hand, trying desperately to crawl to her mother. Watching this scene, the woman was speechless with her mouth wide open… Not just her, but other prisoners also stared in shock at this scene.

They had never thought that this little girl would turn out to be a robot!

“Skynet is really advancing by leaps and bounds.”

Watching the robot that had been torn in half but was still persisting, Duanmu Huai’s eyes were cold. Then he stretched out his foot and stepped on it —— crushing it into scraps.

A moment later, the prisoners had all disappeared, and only then did the other girls move in, their faces complex as they stared at the corpse in front of them.

“I never thought, those damned robots, they would actually go this far…”

Axelle tightly gripped her chainsaw gun, staring at the wreckage and murmuring. They had encountered this kind of infiltrator robot before – they blended in with the prisoners so well almost no one could detect them. Duanmu Huai and Bambi, however, were the exceptions, they could easily detect these infiltrators within the human ranks.

Moreover, they had also learned from the base how these infiltrators were made… All in all, it was not a pleasant process.

“Logically, it makes sense. Children are more likely to lower people’s guard, and also less likely to be discovered. If sent in as a spy, even if discovered, few people would have the heart to kill a child – even though she’s essentially just a cold piece of machinery.”

Duanmu Huai picked up his War Hammer, observing the scene ahead.

“I suddenly feel like letting Skynet die too easily isn’t such a good thing after all.”
