Chapter 221 – There’s an Airee crawling on her.

Always.

The Xu system takes its own safety and security very seriously.

After all.

This simulation was different from the past, with neither the protection of transcendent powers nor the healing of heavenly treasures.

In a wasteland world where resources are scarce and enemies are all around, the Xu family always sticks to the rule of survival and always carries power armor when going out.

Beyond that.

There are also a large number of instantaneous energy shields, specialized protective smart weapons that act as shelters, and so on.

Such a defense strength was already described as amazing, and when the Xu system was located at the rear, providing a constant stream of mechanical power increases, very few insurgent wise weapons could close in on him.

Even if they did, they would be decimated by Ailee in a matter of moments.

But this time is different.

It was the beginning of something the Xu system hadn’t expected.

The earth was in turmoil, the winds and sands were flying, and a frenzy of metal spread to the horizon, taking on the magnitude of infinite expanse.

This was the mechanical force under the Xu system, not all of it, but it was called the main force.

The sound of breaking air rose and fell.

A large number of anti-gravity airships, carrying one heavily loaded vehicle after another, headed for another satellite city occupied by rebel Smartarms.

The sea of machines is sinking and the sound of arms is rising.

A hundred thousand? Millions? Or …… millions?

Sitting on two major satellite cities, the number of War Intelligence Devices that were constantly being produced at all times was so huge that it was difficult for even the Xu system to measure it.

But such a spectacular legion did not give the Xu system any sense of security.

“Soldiers, orbits too?”

“A miscalculation ……”

“I originally thought that I wouldn’t face these space weapons until at least the stage of the main base city, but it turns out that I met them today.”

“Tsk, orbital particle cannon.”

The Xu system looked away from the other side of the sky.

A “shooting star” fell from the sky, faint and shining, seemingly insignificant, but the brightness overshadowed the sun.

Therefore, the heavens and the earth are dim, leaving that radiance alone.

The overall view is similar to the divine punishment of the God of Light.

Today’s attack, however, is not from the hand of a god, but from the man-made creations of a technological crystallization from the days of the Old Federation called the Space-Based Near-Earth Orbital Weapons Platforms (SBNWPs).

“Is it because too many Smartarms were produced and triggered the automatic alert of the space-based platform?”

“The sudden insurgency erased Federation control of the Chiroptera, though.”

“But what was once commanded, the logic located at the bottom, seems to be working fine.”

The Hsu system lamented.

The world in front of him began to be covered by a dazzling light, hot and dry, and even more so by the roaring fury of a sudden gale.

Xu felt lucky.

He possesses the ten deaths and will not actually die in this attack.

Aere’s nature is data, and damaging a body does not cause real damage.

The assembly line produces mechanical units that can also be reproduced again.

Around is just a matter of time.

With this loss, in exchange for information on space-based weapons, Department Xu felt it was worth it.

However, it was not Xu’s style to just sit back and wait for death, so he raised his palm and aimed his mechanical power at the “falling star” in the air.

“Ailee, get behind me.”

“What are you talking about? It’s times like these that I should be the one ……”

Ailee’s voice was urgent.

This was the first time that Department Xu saw a change of anxious emotions on that delicate face.

It’s dark.

Energetic particles poured over the plains like molten gold, vaporizing and annihilating everything.

……

[You suffered a targeted strike, the source of which was a space-based weapons platform of the Old Federation.]

You used all of your power to superimpose a shield of energy on the scene, and at the same time, Ailee maneuvered a large number of intelligent weapons in front of you.

[The moment the light falls]

You’ve lost all consciousness

You can’t see, you can’t hear, you just feel that your whole body is immersed in the hazy white light.

[In a trance, you hear a shout from Ailee]

[When you open your eyes again, the scene has been turned upside down, with black smoke emanating from the scorched earth and the remains of many broken pieces of machinery.]

[With Ailee’s help and the increase in your own mechanical power, you were lucky not to die on the spot amidst the layers of intellectual protection.]

[You’re in a state of near-death, with your chest bone collapsed and blood pouring out of your mouth and nose.]

“Master ……”

A quavering voice called out to the Xu system.

The Xu system half-opened its heavy eyes.

Felix looked over at the owner of the voice.

As expected, as an intelligent AI, Ailee remained intact.

But the body that carried Ailee’s consciousness, that beautiful humanoid shell, was ravaged by the particle cannon.

Half of his cheeks burned but, revealing the silver-white metal inside, exposing the scarlet mechanical core, and the dense internal wiring.

The other half of his cheek was in slightly better condition, with just a few more hideous cracks.

She crouched down on her stomach above the Xu system, leaning down to check on Xu’s injuries, and Ailee acted happy to see Xu’s awakening.

“Lord and Master ……”

A not-so-subtle smile showed on the heavily damaged and delicate face.

“I’m sorry, Ailee, for worrying you.”

The Xu system wanted to reach out, to soothe the seemingly hideous, but actually fragile machine maiden, but he realized that his palms were covered in blood and were too dirty and unkempt.

And so.

The original movement stopped.

“This kind of physical condition …… is just adding to the pain for nothing if you continue to die.”

The Xu system frowned and decided to use a resurrection.

“Ailee, can you kill me?”

“Overruled, the order violates the second regulation.”

The proposal was so appalling that the words were rejected on the spot by Airey as soon as they were uttered.

In the old days.

The Xu system had told Aile that death was not the end of him, but it was clear that the loyal machine servant did not believe such words.

In her clumsy words, she urged the Xu system to never give up on life lightly.

“Looks like I’ll just have to do it myself.”

The Xu system had no choice but to mold the pistol with its last bit of mechanical power and aim a shot at itself.

……

You killed yourself.

You know that no matter what you say, Ailee won’t believe you’re alive.

[Instead of wasting time explaining, we should show the real resurrection.]

[As you pull the trigger, the gunshot echoes around you, and Ailee’s body is instantly overloaded, and in an act she can’t understand, she instantly throws herself around your body]

[Loyal servant wants to carry you all the way back to the base]

[But something short-circuited the machine.]

[Your body is restored as before, not the slightest injury can be seen, and even some dark diseases from the past have completely disappeared from your body]

[You have been resurrected and stand before her again on principles that the machine servant cannot understand]

“Sorry, I guess I scared you earlier.”

The Xu system apologized and gently rubbed the top of Ailee’s head.

The sound is very soft.

Gentle movements.

She was worried that her previous “suicide” would have a bad psychological impact on Ailee.

Plop–

Ailee didn’t say a word, just pressed Xu System down to the ground, cupping Xu System’s cheeks in her palms and looking up and down with a bewildered gaze.

Then he crawled around on Xu System’s body, checking it out.

Until the inspection is complete.

Confirm that the Hsu system is in fairly good health.

Only then did she stop moving.
