177: Chapter 177 The Throne of Thorns: One Man Suppresses the Heavy Armored Group

The bulletproof SUV's engine roared, and sirens exploded into a cacophony outside the window!

Clearly, the transcendence ceremony just now had poked the entire underground force awake.

But inside the car, Chen Du was as relaxed as if he were going on a picnic.

He leaned back in the passenger seat, tallying up the attribute points gained from the previous wave.

"Captain~"

Xia Lai held the steering wheel.

Her peach-blossom eyes scanned the new arrivals in the back seat restlessly through the rearview mirror.

"Bringing back four at once, can your body handle it? Do you want Second Sister to help you share the load?"

"I took a look just now, they've all got great figures~ They'd definitely feel top-notch!"

Liu Ting and the others in the back seat all clamped their legs together, not daring to respond at all.

*Smack!*

Chen Du irritably flicked Xia Lai on the forehead.

"Drive properly."

"That's called labor force, understand? Can you fit anything serious in your head besides dirty thoughts all day?"

As he spoke, he held out his palm.

"Hand it over."

Xia Lai covered her forehead, looking aggrieved: "What is it?"

"Don't play dumb." Chen Du exhaled a puff of smoke. "The evil god embers."

"Oh my, you're really no fun, not even letting me hold onto them a little longer."

Xia Lai pouted and flipped her wrist.

The dimensional toolbox cracked open, spitting out the "evil god embers" sealed in a lead box.

*Sizzle, sizzle—*

Even through the thick lead layer, that cold, eerie fluctuation still made the interior of the car feel freezing.

Liu Ting and the others were so scared their teeth were chattering, instinctively shrinking into the corners.

This was the instinctive fear of living beings when facing a high-ranking existence.

Chen Du was calm, taking the box and examining it.

This thing was a good item; he needed to find a safe place to let the notebook Sacrifice it.

Just then—

*Screech—!!*

Xia Lai suddenly slammed on the brakes!

The tires left two scorched marks on the asphalt road!

The massive inertia caused everyone in the car to lunge forward, and An Nuonuo even slammed her head into the back of the front seat!

The Little loli let out an "ow" and covered her head.

"What's going on?" Chen Du steadied himself.

"Tsk, some good dogs are blocking the way."

Xia Lai put away her playful smile, her eyes turning cold.

Ahead, the path to the Dock was brightly lit.

Dozens of modified buses, dump trucks, and even armored cash transport vehicles were piled up haphazardly in the middle of the road.

It was the [Mammoth Convoy].

The ace heavy armored unit under the Blackgold Harbor Sky Dome Chamber of Commerce.

Several heavy machine guns were mounted on the roofs of the vehicles, their pitch-black barrels gleaming coldly under the searchlights.

"Chen Du!!"

A roar amplified by a loudspeaker exploded.

"Leave behind the living container of the godhead from the auction! And all your rare items! Hand them all over!"

"Otherwise, none of you will leave this street alive today!"

Same old routine.

Can't you come up with something new?

Chen Du sighed helplessly and rolled down the window, letting the night breeze disperse the smell of smoke in the car.

These players really never learn from their mistakes.

*Click.*

He pushed the door open and stepped out.

His pure white suit was glaring under the blinding headlights, looking just like a noble young master who had just finished attending a banquet.

Behind him, Xia Mo, Lin Keke, Xia Xin, and the others quickly stepped out.

The girls following behind the armored vehicle also stopped.

"There are so many people..."

An Nuonuo looked at the sea of heads opposite them, her little face turning slightly pale.

Visually estimating, at least three hundred people.

They were all fully armed Awakened Ones, relying on a steel defensive line; this was a perfect kill zone.

Charge straight in?

That would be feeding kills to the heavy machine guns.

Chen Du's golden eyes narrowed slightly as he scanned the scene.

Lots of people, heavy firepower, and heavy weapon suppression.

If he brought all the girls along, he'd be restricted in the fight.

He'd have to worry about protecting them, which was too much trouble!

"Xia Xin." Chen Du spoke decisively.

"Yes."

Xia Xin immediately tensed her body, the Recurve Bow already in her hand.

"Take Ye Qiu, Tang Ran, An Nuonuo, and the others, including the newcomers in the car, and go around through the commercial street on the side."

Chen Du lifted his chin slightly, pointing to a dim alley on the side. "That's a blind spot for their firepower. Li Yaozhi will guide you; return to the Dock and wait for us."

"But..." Xia Xin hesitated. "There are so many people opposite, you guys..."

"The more the better; with so many people, it's perfect for me to farm attributes."

Chen Du turned back and gave her a reassuring look. "If you're here, I can't let loose, and I might accidentally hurt friendly forces. Take them and go; that's an order."

Disdain.

Barefaced disdain.

But a warm current surged in Xia Xin's heart.

"...Yes!"

She gritted her teeth; this was not the time to be sentimental.

"Go! Everyone follow me!"

Xia Xin grabbed the still-stunned Liu Ting and signaled to An Nuonuo and Ye Qiu.

"Trying to run? Fire!!"

The Commander opposite was clearly not blind; seeing someone trying to slip away, he immediately roared.

*Rat-tat-tat—!*

On the two off-road vehicles on the flank, tongues of fire instantly erupted, and bullets swept toward the alley entrance like raindrops.

"Get lost!"

Xia Lai snorted coldly.

She suddenly raised that mechanical arm filled with violent aesthetics.

*Click, click, click!*

Metal engaged, parts reassembled, a miniature hand cannon formed, and a deep blue energy glow gathered.

"Eat a blast from me!"

*Boom!*

A high-explosive energy shell accurately slammed into the front-row SUV.

Fire soared into the sky!

The SUV was blown over, turning into a burning pile of scrap metal.

Billowing black smoke blocked the enemy's line of sight just right.

"Wind... Wind Wall!"

*Whoosh—!*

An Nuonuo's little face flushed red as she pushed her hands forward violently.

A violent current of air whipped up out of thin air!

It blew the remaining stray bullets off course, causing them to clatter to the ground!

"Go quickly! Don't look back!"

Taking advantage of this opening, Xia Xin led the girls into the alley quickly.

Before entering the darkness, Li Yaozhi looked back at the man standing in the middle of the road.

That white figure, aloof and upright.

She bit her lip and silently said, "I'll wait for you to come back."

By the time the last figure disappeared at the alley entrance.

Only three people remained on the scene.

Chen Du.

Xia Mo.

And an excited Lin Keke.

Facing over three hundred murderous enemies and dozens of heavy armored vehicles.

Chen Du was not nervous at all; instead, he let the shadow at his feet squirm and rise crazily!

Then it quickly condensed behind him into a pitch-black, ferocious throne covered in thorns!

He took a slow step back and sat on it with extreme arrogance.

He crossed his legs, took a puff of his cigarette,

his expression so lazy it was as if he were sunbathing in his own backyard, completely disregarding the hundreds of people opposite him.

"Keke."

Chen Du exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Play some BGM for these bumpkins who haven't seen the world."

"You got it, Captain! Big scenes like this need some flair!"

Lin Keke's eyes lit up with excitement, and she reached directly to the side of her thigh to pull out a card.

"System, Login!"

She snapped her fingers, and her school uniform flashed with light.

*Sizzle, sizzle!*

A tight-fitting, shimmering leather suit wrapped around her exquisite body, and a tactical visor full of technological sense appeared on her face.

She gripped the air with both hands.

Two laser swords emitting high-frequency buzzing sounds appeared out of thin air!

[Old Dreamer · Limited Skin: Cyber Swordsman]!

"Beat the dog while it's down! Transformation complete!"

Lin Keke performed a stylish sword flourish and then slowly reversed her grip.

"Ready? GO!!"

The people opposite were completely stunned.

Is this, what the hell, a movie shoot?

Acting so cool when death is at their doorstep? Where does this confidence come from?!

The Commander's face twitched violently, veins popping on his forehead.

Looking at the throne of thorns high above and the glowing cyber-psycho, he felt his intelligence had been greatly insulted.

In this blood-soaked Blackgold Harbor, someone actually dared to play cosplay in front of him?

"Damn it... do they really think I'm at an anime convention?"

The Commander yanked the bolt of his gun, spitting saliva far away:

"Everyone listen up! Don't care how flashy the opponent is!"

"Give me indiscriminate coverage! Blast the person sitting on that broken chair into smithereens! Fire!"
