Chapter 357 201: Battle, Awesome!
"Thank you, Brother Zhan, for telling me this. I know you care about me, but even if the City Lord overslept and forgot to order our retreat, that's not a reason for us to leave our post. If he is negligent, that's his business, and the relevant departments will naturally hold him accountable. But I cannot betray this military uniform, I cannot desecrate the military spirit."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xun couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.
He truly admired these brave and fearless warriors, who, knowing it's unreasonable, knowing the upper echelons are incompetent, yet willingly sacrifice themselves without complaint or regret.
Are they fools? Or suckers?
No, that's called faith.
But it's limited to admiration.
Lu Xun really liked heroic figures, whether it was historical national heroes like Yue Fei and Wen Tianxiang from his past life or the ordinary soldiers he met in this life from the Human Federation who defended their country. Some died gloriously and became household names; others died quietly with no one remembering their names, whether in tragedy or heroism...
They implemented their beliefs throughout their lives with immense courage.
Worthy of song and tears.
But Lu Xun himself did not like being a hero.
Because people like that have obvious weaknesses.
Shi Yanxin and others didn't care if the City Lord was negligent; they just wanted to do their duty as soldiers, not letting down the countless families under the lights.
But if it were Lu Xun, he'd just want to go back and twist off the City Lord's head, seeking revenge!
While I'm fighting for my life on the front lines, that bastard City Lord is flirting with girls from behind, treating my brothers' lives as a joke. Is there any justice in this? Without killing him, I can't even sleep.
Heroes often have a spirit of self-sacrifice, can endure great grievances, are in darkness but keep their hearts toward the light... like Grandpa Yue.
So Lu Xun has self-awareness; he's not fit to be a hero because he can't stand such grievances!
If anyone dares to put him in a situation of injustice, casting him into darkness, Lu Xun absolutely won't keep his heart toward the light; instead, he would immediately turn to darkness and annihilate those who wronged him, leaving none alive.
"Everyone must bear the consequences of their actions; what goes around comes around. Don't count on the City Lord; he definitely won't bother with you."
Lu Xun said to Shi Yanxin, "But as a friend, I won't let you die in vain. Life is precious and should have more meaning. Strive to live on; today is not the day to sacrifice everything."
"Brother Zhan, you don't need to save me a second time, I..." Shi Yanxin began to persuade but saw Lu Xun wave his hand, interrupting her.
"Although I don't like being a hero, this kind of help I can still offer."
Lu Xun stood tall and unmoving like a mountain, his silhouette imposing.
He gazed at the vast Imperial army like a sea or tide in the distance and laughed heartily, "I will fight alongside you."
Seeing this, Shi Yanxin was deeply moved and stopped persuading.
Invincible Zhan is truly loyal, willing to fight alongside her in such a dire time.
Having such a friend, life is worth it!
But Shi Yanxin felt a bit ashamed, because even though they were friends, it had always been Invincible Zhan helping her, and she had no way to help him, which felt very unequal.
Friends are supposed to help each other, yet she felt she owed him too much.
Lu Xun knew what she was thinking, so he smiled and said, "When I, Mr. Zhan, make friends, I never look at how much value they can provide me, because friendship is not a commodity; having a sincere heart is enough. Go and fight to your heart's content, I am right by your side, and I guarantee you won't die."
As he said this, he waved his hand, unleashing Strong Healing Spirit Light, instantly repairing all the injuries she had previously sustained. Her broken ribs rejoined, damaged internal organs regrew, restoring her ability to move.
With such words said, Shi Yanxin stopped dwelling on anything else.
Adversity shows true friendship, and now she completely regards Lu Xun as a comrade through life and death, having absolute trust in him.
"Brother Zhan, do you know what the strongest weapon on my Mecha is?" she suddenly revealed a mysterious and mischievous smile and asked.
Lu Xun: "Sword Wheel?"
"No." She shook her head and said solemnly, "It's the BGM!"
Boom!
As soon as she finished speaking, the Immortal Slayer Mecha's built-in music station played a fiery battle anthem.
Then the Mecha's engine roared, spewing thick particle streams from its bottom, launching like a steel beast with an unstoppable momentum, single-handedly charging into the Empire's Biochemical Corps!
"Because no one can defeat me with my BGM on!"
Shi Yanxin shouted as she brandished a ten-meter-long Plasma Giant Sword, slashing and maneuvering the sword wheel, with thousands of swords flying, making the scene vast.
Seeing this, Lu Xun shrugged his shoulders and quipped, "Already a twenty-eight-year-old woman, can't we drop the theatricality?"
Saying that, he also brandished the Wolf Fang Club and followed her into the enemy ranks.
The vast battlefield provided Lu Xun a stage to showcase his immense power.
Though just a King-level Puppet with not many grafted traits, its combat power was terrifying, acting with unmatched bravery.
Mountain-Shaking Strength, Fire Dragon Tornado, Gravity Field... fully armed and completely explosive.
The Biochemical Corps fell en masse, and the battlefield quickly turned into a sea of corpses and blood.
Occasionally, generals above King level appeared, only to be smashed to death by Lu Xun's few strikes, leaving no bones behind.
This was an extreme display of violence and slaughter.
"Hahaha!" Lu Xun, covered in blood, couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Fighting, exhilarating!"
...
Until a Saint King-level bigwig appeared in the enemy's ranks!
It was a massive biochemical monster over sixty meters tall, covered in large, disgusting lumps of flesh, with sixteen gigantic arms adorned with countless eyes like a demon.
"Humph! Mere King-level, dare to act recklessly?" The biochemical monster spoke human language with a sinister and violent tone, "I am the Grand Commander of the Empire's Biochemical Corps, Thousand-Eyed Holy Monarch, and I'll let you die with understanding!"
It was so ugly and disgusting, like a monstrous creature from the Cthulhu mythos; just looking at it made one feel nauseous.
It's hard to believe this thing was actually human-modified.
But no matter how ugly it was, it was an Extraordinary Saint King with a life level reaching Saint King Tier Two.
"Saint King?!"
Shi Yanxin showed horror, and quickly said to Lu Xun, "Brother Zhan, run quickly, you're no match."
"Don't panic." Lu Xun was calm, "Just an Extraordinary Saint King, nothing to worry about, I have a way to kill it."
Hearing this, Shi Yanxin's hope rekindled, looking at him full of expectations, thinking Invincible Zhan might power up, surpass the limits, and have a thrilling cross-tier fight.
But to her surprise, Invincible Zhan suddenly shouted to the sky:
"Cousin, help me!"
Shi Yanxin: "???"
