"Mo Xuan, where did you run off to? We've successfully recovered the grabber machine."
When Mo Xuan returned to the battle site, Anton greeted him with the same enthusiasm as before. Behind him was the giant four-legged machine. The expression on the machine's screen had changed from fierce to docile.
"I saw you guys were fighting intensely, so I went to check the situation on the side."
Mo Xuan said with a smile. These words sounded nice. In fact, it sounded like he had hidden because he was afraid of being affected.
"Good! Thanks to you for keeping watch, the Ethereals weren't attracted by the sound."
The expression on Anton's face did not change. He was still praising Mo Xuan. At a time like this, it wasn't about high EQ or low EQ. In Anton's view, for Mo Xuan to be willing to come to a dangerous Hollow to help was already a model of benevolence and righteousness. No one would pick a fight at a time like this.
"It's quite strange. Usually, the Ethereals would have surrounded this place long ago."
Corin said with confusion, holding a hammer on her shoulder. Looking at her, it was clear that this was not her first time in a Hollow. For a construction worker, Hollow adaptability was also a hard indicator. A Hollow wouldn't care if you were under construction or not. It would come whenever it wanted.
"Maybe they were scared away by the child I created. Look at its strong body, its beautiful lines."
Grace hugged one of the long legs of the grabber machine and rubbed her cheek against it and said. Mo Xuan felt that he seemed to have discovered something. This unusual XP must be the legendary mechanophilia.
This was not a joke or a disdainful statement. After robots had intelligence that was not weaker than humans, of course there would be humans who fell in love with robots. They were a minority group. But it was one thing to like an android. If Grace had this fetish before the machine developed intelligence, then it would be a little hard to say.
Under Fairy's self-proclaimed perfect pathfinding system, Mo Xuan followed Corin and the others and soon found the second Hollow-use machine. This thing was called a tunneler. Just from the name, you knew it was for excavation work.
After the three from Belobog Heavy Industries found the tunneler, they also carried out the necessary persuasion. Mo Xuan was watching the show on the side. Not to mention, this show was really good. The general meaning was that this tunneler had found its true love, a dilapidated building. To be with its true love, it refused to go back to work.
This was the disadvantage of a machine being too smart. With intelligence, of course it would want more. It would think about why it couldn't do what it liked to do and had to work for humans. As for who had created it, that was not important.
"I told you long ago not to install an intelligent program in these things. You just wouldn't listen. You wouldn't listen."
Corin, who had tamed the tunneler, was exceptionally annoyed. She stood in front of Grace and forcefully hammered her abdomen. It wasn't because she wanted to hit there, but because she could only reach this position. The height of an elementary schooler had been bothering her for a long time. But she was an elementary schooler who could smash an Ethereal's head with one hammer.
"I'm sorry. But they're really super cute after they have intelligence."
Grace apologized verbally, but you could tell from her expression that she was definitely the type to do it again next time. Mo Xuan looked at the family-like interaction of Belobog Heavy Industries and couldn't help but laugh.
After letting the tunneler return to the Belobog Heavy Industries construction site on its own, Corin began to look for the third Hollow engineering machine. But this time, the journey was not so smooth. The Ethereals, probably having recovered, had begun to appear continuously on the road.
"What kind of Ethereal is this? I've never seen it before."
Corin's hammer hit the head of a four-legged Ethereal, splashing out a large piece of sparks. But this Ethereal just shook its head and then continued to attack. The reason was that the exposed parts of this Ethereal were all covered with metal.
If it were just normal metal, it would be the type like an armored Hati. Mo Xuan had seen it before. But this time, it was not the same. These four-legged Ethereals seemed to have fused with the abandoned construction equipment in the Hollow, giving a sense of being one.
These construction machines were left by the former Vista Engineering. They were originally for starting work. Later, the company went bankrupt, and these things in the Hollow were not recovered. Without anyone knowing, they were used by the Ethereals as an exoskeleton armor. This was something no one had expected.
"Corin, we're not here to fight. Let's find the last pile driver first."
Mo Xuan did not participate in the battle. This was a vacation. He had no handy weapon around him. He just stood on the spot and waved at Corin and said.
"I know. But won't this kind of Ethereal chase relentlessly?"
Corin's hammer smashed the metal shell on the Ethereal's head, then kicked the Ethereal away and took a moment to reply. It's unknown where this child got such strength. Now to say she was the king of all beasts was not an exaggeration at all.
"We can shake them off. This way."
Mo Xuan pointed to the small alley behind him and said. Corin also knew that she shouldn't waste time on the Ethereals, so she immediately led the two people beside her and ran towards Mo Xuan.
"As expected of a brother. Your judgment is really professional."
Anton ran to Mo Xuan's side and patted his shoulder, then quickly ran forward. Mo Xuan, on the other hand, stayed where he was. A Bangboo appeared beside him, jumped up, and high-fived him.
Stand-boo quickly turned into Mo Xuan's appearance and followed the team. Mo Xuan himself stayed behind to cover the rear. It was not that simple to shake off the Ethereals. A more convenient choice was to kill them all.
"Henshin."
[Complete!]
Kamen Rider Delta appeared in front of the Ethereals. This made the chasing Ethereals pause for a moment. They suddenly felt that Corin and the others were not so attractive and all flocked towards Mo Xuan.
'BOOM!'
Mo Xuan then pulled out the combined Delta Blaster, aimed, and pulled the trigger. After the energy light bullet was shot out, it instantly killed a four-legged Ethereal. Although it had a solid outer armor for defense, no matter how strong the outer armor was, it couldn't be stronger than a heavy tank. This was the advantage of having a high armor penetration line. The protection of an ordinary Ethereal was just a layer of paper. A heavy-armored Ethereal was equal to a stack of paper. As long as the armor penetration line was there, what should be killed would be killed.
Mo Xuan did not choose to empty his bullets. Seeing that he was surrounded by Ethereals, he thought about the most reasonable way to fight. Although he only had one long-range weapon, it didn't mean his close-combat ability was weak. With Delta's stats here, it was impossible to show weakness.
A heavy-armored Ethereal pounced towards Mo Xuan. When it was in the air, its claws were already covered with an excavator's bucket. It's unknown where it had fused from. Mo Xuan, on the other hand, raised his leg and side-kicked. When the tip of his foot collided with the heavy-armored Ethereal, a wave of air appeared and blew away the surrounding dust. The Ethereal's head shattered like glass. The alloy helmet was like a fake, not giving it any defensive bonus.
