Chapter 67: Priority Levels (Part 2/2)

“Target A’s vehicle has been destroyed.”

“Significant fluctuations in the target’s vital signs……”

The indistinct and pitch-black unmanned drone flirted past at low altitude. Its robotic eye locked to the burning flames below:

“Switching to targeting mode. Confirming the second attack……”

“Beep!”

The warning signal was formed. The wingless drone ascended upwards, but it was still a step too late.

A roar sounded forth from within the surging flames on the shabby road. Suddenly a mass of shining flames split from it. The mass of flames seemed to solidify under the enormous pressure. It leaped through the skies like a backward shooting star of fire.

The wingless drone performed a dodging maneuver, but it couldn’t avoid it completely and burst into flames. Its metal composition warped in an instant and it fell to the ground.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

Crag Burst roared madly as he charged from the raging flames, his buff body wrapped in a layer of fire.

The clothes on his body had already been burnt clean while his hair and eyebrows had turned into scorched masses under the high-temperature roasting. But no matter how much the flames burned, there existed an invisible divide to his skin.

And so, not a bit of the fire stuck to his body even though his skin was very red from the high-temperature roasting.

“BREAK!”

Crag Burst adopted a stance and all the muscles of his body rippled like a wave. An invisible wave of air exploded from his body, forcefully blowing apart the layer of flames on his body and scattering sparks into the air.

Crag Burst, with a completely naked body, swept his sights onto the distance crash zone of the drone. He let out another howl; the breath he stifled from a moment ago was vented a bit.

And at this time, Luo Nan transmitted over the HexaEar somewhat incoherently: “F**k F**k! Damn it all! Crag Burst, I thought you……. You’re still alive?”

Crag Burst spat and said: “You think my nickname is just for show? The crag rock has been split by the heat and I did as per my name. You’ve met what lives under the clouds of explosions, haven’t you? It is I, Crag Burst!”

“Also scout, you need to go take the society’s junior level seminars. The wording of your warning was extremely nonstandard. In the case of a long distance attack, the direction, the drop point, and nature need to be provided. These basic factors need to be first said……”

But then Luo Nan came with another warning before Crag Burst could finish chattering: “Dodge quick! Get off the roadbed!”

The warning was still nonstandard, but this time there was some relatively effective information inside.

Crag Burst did not speak any further. He flipped and rolled off the public road, but he was half a second too late. Another surge of flame exploded along with a powerful shockwave. The glass windows on both sides of the public road, which weren't really intact in the first place, shattered from the vibration.

It was yet another wingless drone and this small-scale unmanned device was being used as a weapons platform. It had clearly learned a lesson from the last drone as it held a distance of over a kilometer. It relied on radar and satellite to position and lock on accurately to the target’s location.

The range of Luo Nan’s mental senses made it so that Luo Nan could only discover and warn Crag Burst after the weapon was launched. The pressure right now was enormous.

Crag Burst withdrew underneath the roadbed to protect his body from being consumed by the flames. This was the most he could do right now. He couldn’t help but curse loudly: “Is this mofo a gangster? He’s more like an arms dealer……”

Luo Nan spoke coldly: “Isn’t Quantum Corporation the world’s number one arms dealer? This has been set in stone after they launched their Deep Blue Platform.”

“That’s right! Quantum Corporation!”

Crag Burst should have thought of this way earlier, but the impression that Quantum Corporation was the world’s number one company in advanced technology ran too deep. It was very hard to make the mental connection between Quantum Corporation and a gangster of the recycling stratum.

Even if he did make the connection, it wouldn’t have been to that degree.
