Lan Jue sat on the bus with her eyes closed. She seemed to be in a world of her own. The Pharmacist sat beside her, holding Jun 'er.
Jun 'er was strangely well-behaved today. She lay in her mother's arms.
Finally, they were out of the traffic jam. The maglev bus made its way to Luo City's public hangar. This was the largest hangar on Planet Luo, and was capable of docking all of humanity's larger ships.
It was also the largest commercial airport on Luo.
The road ahead opened up. The hangar came into view.
Suddenly, the Gourmet's eyes popped open. He peered through the windshield at the front of the bus.
Up ahead, at the end of the road, rows of mecha suits appeared. They were coming down the slope. At the head of the line were heavy duty mechas. In the sky above them were flying suits, and behind them were a host of other mechas.
There were at least a thousand of them.
A thousand mechas, that's a standard mecha pilot.
Since they had appeared on the road leading to the civilian spaceship base, it was obviously not a simple exercise.
The maglev bus was rented, so when the driver saw the situation in the distance, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded. He hurriedly stepped on the brakes to stop the maglev bus.
The Gourmet's lips curled into a cold smile. "What a display."
The Barber's eyes flashed murderously.
The Beautician picked at her nails, as though she hadn't heard the Gourmet.
The Driver had snatched the flask from the Bartender's hands. The Coffee Master's fingers moved rhythmically, creating a series of afterimages.
"Open the door," the Gourmet said to the driver. "Then get as far away as you can."
The driver hurried to open the door.
He didn't know what was happening.
But he had a hunch.
It wasn't good.
There had to be something wrong with these people.
The mecha pilots in the distance were already in formation. The heavy suits at the front were poised, their cannons raised and ready to fire at a moment's notice.
In the sky, the flying suits formed an arc, facing the Skyfire Avenue crowd.
They didn't attack, but waited for orders.
The Skyfire Avenue crowd, as well as Jun Yongye and Xuanyuan Shishi, filed out of the bus.
Xuanyuan Shishi shrugged and said, "It doesn't look too good!
I didn't know there were so many dangers with you guys. "
"Shut up." Jun Yongye glared at him, his voice low.
Xuanyuan Shishi seemed to be afraid of him and immediately stopped talking.
Lan Jue said apologetically, "I'm sorry, we didn't know this would happen.
However, it seems like we don't have a choice now. We can only face it. "
Jun Yongye smiled.
"Fight together."
The Driver walked over to Lan Jue's side, his arms folded across his chest.
"I like this scene. I like liveliness."
Everyone lined up in a row and looked at the mecha operators in the distance. They knew that these mechas did not just appear out of thin air. A mecha operator was indeed very strong. If they fought them head on, they would not stand a chance.
But don't forget that there was a Paragon among them.
Moreover, why would an Adept fight a mech head-on?
They had plenty of ways to deal with these mechas.
A single mecha operator wasn't enough to stop them all.
Perhaps it was because of the sheer number of mechas, but the wind picked up. Everyone's clothes flapped in the wind.
Lan Jue looked at his friends. It was good to fight shoulder to shoulder, and even better to have companions.
In this moment, there was no longer any division between them. They were one.
"The tournament has just ended. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?" A low voice boomed from all around them.
The originally bright and beautiful sky suddenly darkened.
An enormous figure descended from the sky, landing not far in front of them. It was the Terminator.
The Gourmet's eyes narrowed when he saw him. He took a slow step forward. "Terminator, what is the meaning of this?"
"I don't like to beat around the bush," the Terminator replied. "Today's events surprised me. I didn't expect your Jewelry Master to be a hero who saved so many lives.
We have a common goal, and we will all fight to protect humanity.
I don't want to make things difficult for you.
Leave Jun 'er behind, and I'll let you go. I promise the Northern Alliance will not stop you from returning to the Eastern Alliance. "
Jun 'er?
His target was Jun 'er.
The Terminator's goal wasn't just Jun 'er. There were others. However, after Huali's announcement of Lan Jue's heroism, there was no way he could stop the Jewelry Master.
However, he quickly spotted Xuanyuan Shishi and Jun Yongye among the crowd on Skyfire Avenue. He nodded to them. "You two stay as well.
I won't make things difficult for you, but I hope you'll join the Major League.
Here you'll have access to the best resources. With your talents, you'll become Paragons. The future of the Major League will belong to you.
If you agree, please come to my side. "
Xuanyuan Shishi laughed heartily. "Don't think you can threaten us just because you're big, big guy. You think you can stop us?"
The Terminator chuckled. "Of course I'm not alone.
I didn't want to hurt our friendship, but as a member of the Northern Alliance, I have to plan for the future of the Northern Alliance.
What do you say, Gourmet? "
Skyfire Avenue only had one Paragon, the Gourmet. Only the Gourmet was on the same level as Lan Jue, so Lan Jue spoke to the Infernal Vanguard. Xuanyuan Shishi, who was a little cocky, was ignored.
The Gourmet's deep eyes fixed on the Terminator. "Jun 'er said you weren't a bad person. Are you going to disappoint a little girl?"
The Terminator sighed. "I'm sorry, but for the sake of the Northern Alliance, I have to do this.
Skyfire Avenue is strong enough as it is. If another Clairvoyant were to appear, there would be no place for us in the future. I have no choice but to ask her to stay. But don't worry, we will treat her well. Fate has brought us together.
Although the Northern Alliance doesn't have a Clairvoyant's legacy, we do have a lot of knowledge about them. We will do our best to teach her, and I can guarantee that we won't force her to fight the Eastern Alliance.
Gourmet, I don't want to hurt our friendship. Leave Jun 'er, and you go.
In the near future, we'll be comrades fighting side by side. "
Everything he said was well thought out.
If it weren't for their enemies, for the sake of the Northern Alliance, they would have wanted to kill all the young Adepts on Skyfire Avenue.
It's been so hot these days, it's irritating.
Everyone, stay away from the heat.
Let Tang Bingyao rest a bit, then we'll continue.
