Reef laughed wryly on the other side.
“You probably need to hold on for a while longer. The group that the T-1000 sent to create chaos around LA had returned and joined up with the two T-910s that climbed out of the rubble. Two other Terminators that were hidden among the humans had also joined the fight.
“In conclusion, what we’re facing now are not two pieces of junk that had just crawled out of the rubble, but four T-910 that are armed to the teeth plus two TOK715 Terminators with pretty decent long range attacks.”
“What’s more disgusting is that one of the infiltration type TOK715 Terminators possesses maintenance capabilities. Not only did it bring some spare parts with it, it’ll also dismantle some unimportant parts of itself to repair the T-910s. The T-910s combat effectiveness is slowly recovering as a result. We’re in a deadlock right now.”
Sheyan’s heart sank when he heard that. He immediately knew that he had made another miscalculation. In his plan, the Terminators who were sent to attack the key locations in Los Angeles were smokescreens and also discarded pawns; they should not have escaped.
However, Sheyan forgot to take into account the existence of the concealed TOK715 Terminators which could act as moles inside those places. The T-910s could attack from the front, grabbing the humans’ attention, while the TOK715s could assist from the dark.
And that’s how the current awkward situation came to be!
“The firepower of six Terminators….” Sheyan instantly understood the difficulties faced by the others.
Based on the powerful firepower he experienced just now, Sheyan knew that Zi and Mogensha could not be exposed to the attacks. After all, the attacks of storyline characters were not weakened by 40% like they were for contestants. It would only take only a few seconds for six guns to eliminate them.
As for Reef, although he could withstand the enemies’ long-range attacks, he did not dare to rush into the midst of the enemies to attack. The Terminators were also completely immune to the ‘Cardiac Shattering Roar’ ability. Once Reef got close, he would have to face six high-frequency daggers directly. It was a scary prospect.
The other group would probably not break the stalemate anytime soon.
When Sheyan thought of this, he inhaled a deep breath, because he knew that the danger he faced had become a little stronger, and the burden on his shoulders had become a little heavier!
A ruthless gleam suddenly flashed across the T-1000’s eyes. It raised his arm and hacked down at Sheyan, its palm turning into an axe.
Sheyan extended his hands to grab the T-1000’s untransformed forearm while the various parts on his gloves began to spin at high speed in multiple direction. He pushed the gloves to their full operational capacity, causing them to spew dense, dark smoke under the pressure. He would throw the T-1000 far away with ‘Tactical Throw’ to win himself a chance to take a breather.
However, the part of the T-1000’s wrist that was held by Sheyan unexpectedly lost its solid form, almost overflowing out from the cracks between his fingers. The next instant, the wrist turned into an ankle.
When Sheyan flung the T-1000 with full force, the Terminator had already transformed into an upside down pose where its feet were on top and his head was at the bottom.
At the exact instant of being thrown away, the T-1000 extended its hands at the speed of lightning and tightly held on to Sheyan’s wrist! It made use of the great force of being thrown away to drag Sheyan down!
Both of them tumbled to the ground at once. In this close combat situation, not only could the T-1000 discharge current, every part of its body could also transform into various lethal weapons to hack at Sheyan. This was undoubtedly a highly dangerous moment for Sheyan!
A cold glint flashed! Sheyan, caught off guard, had three deep wounds made on his chest by the T-1000. The scarlet muscles around the wounds rolled up, looking frightening and terrible, as if he had been dissected. The Terminator then turned three of its fingers into a sharp razor-like shape, appearing ready to rub some salt into Sheyan’s wounds.
The T-1000 did not care about Sheyan’s retaliation at all. Sheyan had grabbed its head and forcefully twisted its neck by 180 degrees. This kind of injury, while not necessarily fatal to Terminators, would normally still cause great harm. However, the back of the T-1000’s head simply turned back into its face as if nothing had happened. This kind of bodily distortion was totally useless on the T-1000! Let alone 180 degrees, even if its neck was twisted by 1800 degrees, it would still be futile!
In just a few short seconds, Sheyan had already suffered several severe blows. Blood gushed out from his body like fountains, instantly dyeing the surrounding land crimson. On the contrary, the T-1000 looked none worse for the wear. It even had the time to flip a middle finger at Sheyan, as if it was mocking and ridiculing him!
The T-1000’s finger suddenly grew longer and flew straight towards Sheyan’s eye. Sheyan tried turning sideways to dodge it, but it still pierced through his shoulder blade, creating a terrible, bloody, hole.
Taking advantage of the moment Sheyan was injured, the T-1000 reached out and grabbed both of Sheyan’s feet. Sheyan’s legs were instantly electrocuted. Not only that, he was also lifted high and hurled towards a huge tree to the side!
The T-1000 had planned for this move for a long time. The reason it needed to hurl Sheyan away was because it needed some time and space to transform its hands into something big that could give Sheyan a lethal blow. During the process, it was best left undisturbed. The high-voltage electricity it launched just now was to ensure that Sheyan’s legs were paralysed to prevent him from running away.
The power of the T-1000’s processing capabilities was evident from this move. It was the kind of logic flow that could only be achieved after a huge amount of calculations. What’s more, every step was seamlessly connected like a series of gears, without any flaw in between!
The T-1000 clasped its hands together and they slowly fused into each other, forming a gigantic hammer! He proceeded to rush towards Sheyan, the ferocity and menace with which it did so completely toppled the Terminators’ usual chilly impression. It made its target feel as if he would be completely smashed into smithereens if he was hit!
But no matter how meticulous a plan was, there would always be unexpected occurrences.
There was no way Sheyan could run away at the moment. High-voltage electricity flowed all over his body still, and he was completely numb from the waist down. His fingers were also trembling violently. However, he still had the strength to fight back!
He only had enough strength to hurl a tiny bottle, but that was enough!
With blood all over his head, Sheyan, who seemed to be paralysed on the ground, suddenly raised his head and looked towards the charging T-1000 which was about seven or so meters away at the moment. With a cold smirk, he raised his hand and threw out a bottle. At the same time, he rolled back and hid behind a park bench nearby.
The T-1000 had never been afraid of any form of attack; it simply continued to rush forward without any intention of dodging! Even if the object thrown by Sheyan was a nuclear grenade, the Terminator would not be stopped.
However, when the seemingly ordinary bottle smashed on the ground, what came out from inside was a strong silvery-white light that illuminated a large piece of the surrounding area.
It was currently summer in Los Angeles, so the temperature was warm, and the air was hot and humid, but when the light came out, the surprisingly pleasant sound of the air freezing could be heard. A large area of the ground was instantly covered with ice, which rapidly spread to the surroundings. Although Sheyan had taken cover behind something, he still felt his limbs turning stiff. Even the blood flowing inside them felt like they were freezing!
The bottle Sheyan hurled was the liquid nitrogen compression tank that Dolittle gave him! It displayed its might in this instant, freezing the T-1000 into a rigid humanoid form, and even condensing everything around it! The heavy hammer that was formed from its hands immediately broke off at the handle with a crack. The gigantic hammer fell to the ground and shattered like a fragile porcelain piece.
The T-1000 tried to move forward, but its feet were frozen to the ground. It forcefully exerted strength on his feet, but that resulted in its legs breaking at the ankles. It lost its balance and fell down, and suffered the same fate of shattering like porcelain!
Sheyan heaved a long breath of relief. He could still see some faint blue electricity flowing through the wreckages of the damaged T-1000. The cold was also rapidly dissipating. The Terminator obviously would not die so easily. Right now, it was using its own reserve energy to quickly drive away the cold. Sheyan mockingly flipped a middle finger back at the T-1000, and then made haste to deal with the injuries on his body.
During the dozen odd seconds Sheyan took to give his injuries some emergency treatments, the ice on the ground was fading away rapidly. Large drops of liquid metal, shaped like dewdrops on lotus leaves, were rapidly merging. Sheyan narrowed his eyes at the sight, and sighed.
And then into the party communication channel, he spoke, “Reef, how much longer do you guys need to end the battle on your side?”
Reef sighed heavily before he replied, “It’ll probably take at least half an hour, boss. If you can’t hang on any longer, let’s group up.”
“No way,” Sheyan narrowed his eyes and said in a serious tone.
A stick could be easily broken but a bundle of sticks were hard to break. Sheyan understood this theory. If they let the other six Terminators join the T-1000, they would just be adding oil to fire. Even if Party Ace could somehow gain the upper hand in the exchange, the Terminators might still be able to escape with the T-1000 as the spearhead. It would be really difficult to get another chance like this in the future.
After a moment of contemplation, Sheyan quickly made up his mind and earnestly said, “Don’t worry about me. You guys keep up the attack on that side. Just leave the T-1000 to me.”
