Last Totem Novel - Chapter 52

Chapter 52 Sparring
At noon in the middle of winter, there were faint snowflakes floating in the sky, and the repair shop at the foot of the low mountain was completely silent. At this time, the floor of the tin shed was filled with all kinds of locomotive parts, and in the middle were the skeletons of three locomotives. The old bull was buried in the pile of parts covered in oil. Sometimes, he looked at the blueprints on the LCD screen in a daze, and sometimes, he silently fiddled with the parts in his hand.

Three motorcycles, a red comet, a flying fish, and a Harley 5 were all dismantled and reorganized by him. Alice’s body transformation work has entered the final stage. In just a few days, a brand new, unique and legendary motorcycle would be born in his hands.

This locomotive takes Alice’s intelligent module and three on-board computers as its core, Sandfish’s frame as its main body, Immortal Warhawk’s high-power engine as its power source, twelve jet airbags, rocket fuel thrusters, quantum power amplifiers, high wear-resistant tires with black gold wire mesh, holographic scanners, global positioners …

Old Niu was infatuated with the pleasure of assembly and transformation. He no longer had the concept of day and night. Other than eating and sleeping, he only had motorcycles. This was the first time in his life that so many excellent parts had been gathered in his hands, allowing him to create miracles that belonged to him. The craftsman’s soul stirred in his heart. It was as if he had opened a window to the future. In that place, he had a premonition that this would be the pinnacle of his life! Perhaps from now on, he would never be able to surpass today and create such a perfect thing.

Every part seemed to have a soul, and when it was cut and modified, he seemed to be able to hear their voices. All the modifications were incomparably accurate, and when they were put into the frame, he seemed to be able to hear the sound of a tight and perfect fit.

[Mechanic Old Niu, Alice requests to speak]

Call? A thought flashed through his mind, but it was quickly forgotten by him and he continued to immerse himself in his thoughts …

[Mechanic Old Cow, there’s an emergency, Alice requests to speak]

Half asleep and half awake, the voice of the young girl suddenly rang out from the main computer’s loudspeaker.

[Mechanic Old Niu, Alice’s image generator has detected three armored personnel carriers heading towards Captain’s stronghold.]

What stronghold? Balancer? Or a shock absorber? The old bull stared blankly at the ceiling of the tin shed …

[Mechanic Old Niu, Alice requests to speak]

Brother Niu! Captain is in danger! Three fully armed armored vehicles drove towards the captain’s short hill stronghold! ]

The armored vehicle was painted with the symbol of the Silver City Ground Force # 13! ]

Danger? Ground troops? Silver City! Silver City’s troops!

A few words flashed through his mind. Old Niu immediately woke up from his shock and turned to look at the monitor. Inside the LCD screen, three armored personnel carriers roared towards the dwarf mountain stronghold with billowing smoke and dust!

“Heavenly Bull to Iron Eagle! Heavenly Bull to Iron Eagle! Intruder attack! Intruder attack!” Old Bull rushed to the walkie-talkie. He pulled down the microphone and shouted, “Heavenly Bull to Iron Eagle!”

There was no reply from the other side. Although it was only a few seconds, he only felt that it was extremely long. Finally, a faint voice from the iron slag sounded, “Iron Eagle has received it! Iron Eagle has received it!”

Old Niu heavily exhaled, turned around and walked into the basement. He suddenly pulled open the tarpaulin in the corner! A shiny heavy machine gun appeared! Old Niu held the crane gun and pulled on the heavy bolt to check. Immediately after, he hung a string of bullets on his body, and finally carried a crane gun as he strode towards the short mountain stronghold!

At the same time, a pair of eagle-like eyes stared fixedly at the incoming armored personnel carriers. The owner of the gaze crossed his hands and stood on the wall of the short mountain stronghold. That upright figure was like a strong pine standing against the wind, standing proudly between heaven and earth.

The engine roared, breaking the serenity and laziness of winter. As for the ice residue and black smoke that the steel crawler rolled up, they mixed together and completely tore the beautiful snow scene to pieces!

The armored vehicle suddenly stopped in front of the stronghold and let out a sharp sound of its fingernails scratching through the glass. It was the noise of steel crawlers rubbing against ice. It was so sharp that it made one feel uncomfortable. Afterwards, dozens of soldiers filed down and half knelt on the spot, pointing their guns at Tie Zha, who was high up in the sky.

After controlling the scene, the lieutenant jumped out of the armored vehicle and raised his head to shout at Tie Zha, “Kid, do you remember me?”

Tie Zha narrowed his eyes and stared at the lieutenant below. He had no intention of answering. Although he crossed his hands, his entire body emitted a murderous aura that was like a sharp blade that was unsheathed at any moment.

The lieutenant seemed to feel uncomfortable from being stared at by him. He turned his head and spat. Then, he waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to put away their weapons. Then, he said, “Brother Tie, the fourth young master saw that you are a talented person and wanted to pull you. Therefore, he did not hold you accountable for the serious injuries! If you are sensible, go to Base 13 and say thank you in person.”

‘”Thank Lord Karl for his favor. I am the executor of Tieshan Town and a member of the Sand City’s garrison. I cannot leave my post to follow Lord Carl for the time being.” Tie Zha explained. His words were still ambiguous, neither rejecting nor explicitly replying. Although Tie Zha had no intention of going to Base 13, he didn’t want to offend the nobles of Silver City.

“Alright, I hope we have a chance to be robes.” With that, the lieutenant approached the wall and signaled for Tie Zha to come down and speak.

Tie Zha jumped down and landed beside the lieutenant. His idea of the last incident was to settle things peacefully. After all, they were branches of Silver City 13. If they wanted to stay in Tieshan Town, it was best not to offend them.

The lieutenant lowered his voice and said, “Brother Tie, I heard that you have a Golden Sandworm egg. Fourth Young Master likes this. Do you think you can transfer it?”

Tie Zha frowned slightly and said calmly, “Yes, but everyone picked this up together. I have to discuss it with them first, and then I’ll give you an answer.”

Just as he finished speaking, the lieutenant snorted coldly. The other party’s words were watertight, unable to find any flaws. However, he did not have a clear time or attitude. Clearly, he did not have any sincerity.

Tie Zha pretended not to hear this cold snort, and even yawned, as if he was about to take his leave.

The lieutenant frowned and said in a deep voice, “Alright, I’ll wait for your news, but …” He paused for a moment and suddenly raised his voice. “Brother Tie, I heard that your fighting technique is very good. It’s so cold now. Let’s sparring. How about exercising?” Although he had been subdued by the iron slag that day, he had always felt that the iron slag had only ambushed the black man while he was unprepared. Therefore, he didn’t think that the iron slag was that powerful. Moreover, there were more than a dozen heavily armed soldiers guarding by his side. Iron slag would definitely throw away a rat’s weapon and wouldn’t dare to go all out.

The lieutenant was scheming in his heart, but the other party expressionlessly asked him, “I only know how to kill people. Do you want to try?”

“Come on!” Facing this rubbish, the lieutenant finally couldn’t control his emotions and roared angrily.

Tie Zha grinned and suddenly drew his saber and chopped down!

This saber strike came without any warning. It was simply a slash without any hesitation. Before the lieutenant could react, the machete was already stuck to his forehead. He stood there stiffly and didn’t dare to move. Traces of blood mixed with the cold sweat that had just flowed out slid down his face.

The change in front of them was too sudden. All the soldiers stared blankly at Tie Zha and the lieutenant. Someone came back to his senses and shouted, “Let go of the captain!” The soldiers then reacted and raised their submachine guns to aim at the iron slag.

The air instantly solidified, and both sides fell into a stalemate …

“Who dares to shoot!”

A furious roar suddenly sounded from behind, and the soldiers involuntarily turned to look. A swarthy man rushed over with a heavy machine gun that was half a man’s height in his arms! The thick barrel of the gun in his hand was incomparably ferocious, as if it would let out a heaven-shaking roar at any moment.

“From now on, I hope we won’t disturb each other, okay?” Tie Zha asked indifferently.

The lieutenant nodded with difficulty. Tie Zha moved his machete away and made a gesture of “sending the guests off”. After that, the lieutenant left in a hurry with his subordinates without saying a word, as if he was mistaken. When they left, even the sound of the engine was much quieter …

Tie Zha and Old Niu Yao glanced at each other before returning to their respective houses.

After returning to the repair shop, Old Niu opened his mouth wide and yawned several times. He was already very sleepy. After pulling down the gate of the alarm system, he fell asleep in the pile of parts. After a while, a heavy snoring sound could be heard. After all, he had not slept for three days and nights.

However, not long after Old Niu fell asleep, Alice’s voice sounded again …

This time, the alarm sounded even more urgent and the situation became even more critical. However, Old Niu was too sleepy to hear anything. No matter how Alice shouted, his response was only heavy breathing. At this time, if he wanted to wake up this sleeping bull, he would probably have to use a broken grenade to explode!

At the same time, three pure white, round-robed motorcycles quietly swept past the repair shop and flew towards the dwarf mountain stronghold. The motorcycles formed a triangular formation and advanced at a constant speed in the snow. At this time, the engine has been switched off and the electricity stored in capacitance is used to operate, so the noise is especially low. Even when standing beside the locomotive, only a slight “chirp” sound can be heard.

On the leading motorcycle sat a graceful knight. Her entire body was covered in light yellow armor, reflecting a translucent glow under the sunlight. The back is a small backpack-like object with several slender pipes connecting all parts of the body. This was the third generation of psionic power armor. Currently, the most sophisticated technology used liquid memory metal as armor sheets. Normally, the armor would be stowed away in a backpack-like object. When activated, the armor would automatically cover the entire body. At the same time, the knapsack-shaped object was also equipped with psionic energy registers, psionic energy injectors, power amplifiers, and other enhancement equipment.

Following closely behind the female knight were two red-robed riders. They’re wearing crimson psionic power armor. Compared to the female knights, the armor on their bodies was somewhat bulky. Apart from the thick nails made of tempered ceramics, the pipes on his entire body were also thicker. In addition, the backpack-like object on his back was the size of a mountain climbing bag, and there were obviously four bowl-sized jets at the bottom. This was the first customized version of Notre Dame’s Psionic Power Armor, commonly known as the Twilight Armor. Originally, this was also a rare high-tech product on the ground, but compared to the armor on the female knight, they were simply like the products of the previous era.

However, even in Silver City’s military, third-generation psionic power armor was extremely rare.

Because the third generation psionic power armor could not be mass produced, apart from the scarcity of memory metal, it also needed to be tailored. Each set of armor could only correspond to a single owner, so only the person with the most special status could possess it.
