Chapter 60 Enemy Attack
Seeing that the atmosphere was beginning to develop in a direction that was not suitable for children, Amber spoke up in time to stop it:
"That's enough, Lilith. Haven't you had enough role-playing?"
"Tsk, you're so boring."
Lilith's voice returned to normal, and at the same time, an 8-bit style villain appeared on Amber's tactical mask.
This was the virtual image that Lilith generated for herself based on the limited computing power that Amber opened to her.
Amber naturally couldn't let her have the entire high-precision 3D model dangling in front of her all the time.
The consumption of energy and computing power is secondary.
The main reason is that it is easy to be distracted.
"Amber, I am increasingly suspicious that you are a pervert."
"What do you mean?"
Amber has gradually become immune to Lilith's venomous tongue.
"Why else would you go to such great lengths to control me? Are humans no longer able to satisfy you?"
"Or do you want to force me to do those things that are not suitable for children in the folder of '3D Modeling Accuracy Research'!"
The outrageous degree of Lilith's remarks did not decrease due to Amber's restriction on her computing power, but instead had a tendency to become more outrageous.
"Okay, thank you for giving me such a good suggestion. When I have time, I will make a high-precision 3D model of your image just now, and then find an empty room to do this and that."
Amber responded to Lilith with the same outrageous words, while standing up from the ground and walking towards the door of the room.
He had checked the room that blocked Lilith, and there was indeed nothing else except the metal round body in the middle.
The metal cylinder was only used to store the data carrier, and it had no other value in itself. It just seemed to have the effect of power supply, but Amber didn't have the time to find the source for a while.
Since the biggest 'treasure' of this research institute had been taken by himself, there was naturally no need to stay any longer.
After all, the two hours agreed with Major Randall and the others were almost up.
And just now, when Lilith invaded the exoskeleton, this guy hijacked a lot of computing power in order to maintain her image, and consumed nearly 40% of the power of this light exoskeleton in one go.
Amber even suspected that Lilith's violent invasion may have caused hidden damage to many components of the exoskeleton.
If these hidden dangers are exposed in battle, it will be fatal.
So Amber planned to let the mechanics in the team help maintain the exoskeleton after reuniting with the team.
Thinking of this, Amber also quickened her pace to leave.
It took almost no effort for Amber to return to the previous emergency personnel entrance.
"Lilith, you are leaving here, what do you think?"
Before leaving the institute, Amber asked subconsciously.
But after waiting for a long time, she did not wait for Lilith's response.
The 8-bit man on the tactical mask was still there, but he seemed to be sluggish.
The data monitoring window used to monitor Lilith also indicated that everything was normal.
"Lilith?" Amber asked again.
And this time, Lilith finally responded.
"Amber, promise me that you won't lock me up in a place with nothing anymore, okay?"
"Hmm, otherwise why would I take you out?"
Amber stepped out of the door of the emergency personnel entrance.
On the way to the temporary stop of the convoy, Lilith kept curiously "looking" around.
Because the microprocessor in Amber's body was connected to his modified superconducting fiber nerves, his "five senses" could be directly read.
So Lilith, who was temporarily "living" in the microprocessor, could almost have the same feelings as Amber.
"Amber, walk slower! Look at the bird on the tree on the right~"
"Ah! Amber, what animal just ran over?!"
"Is this the feces of a wild Brob beast on the ground?"
Lilith, who has been in the research institute since her birth, has only a channel to understand the outside world, which is the personal terminal left in the laboratory by the researcher that year.
As a result, Lilith did not get any serious information about the outside world, and successfully studied a bunch of messy knowledge.
So when she really came into contact with the world outside the institute, Lilith was full of interest in everything she saw.
"When we leave this planet, I will find a chance to take you to the largest planetary ecological museum, and then you can see it all at once."
Amber coaxed Lilith patiently. He decided to find a way to correct the character of this artificial intelligence, which was like a "problem girl", in the future.
"But now, you just stay here honestly. If you are really bored, help me keep an eye on the alarm module. The corresponding operating instructions are also stored in the processor. You can learn it by just taking a glance."
As Amber spoke, he quickened his pace and found the frequency band of the communication relay vehicle in the channel of the communication module.
For some reason, he felt uneasy since he just walked out of the institute.
This feeling comes from the sixth sense of the psychic agent.
Although this sixth sense can only be said to be "sometimes effective and sometimes bad", based on the principle of "it doesn't cost money anyway, trust it a little bit", Amber still decided to issue an early warning to the team.
The communication with the communication relay vehicle was quickly connected, and Isabel's familiar voice came from Amber's headphones.
"Amber?! Are you back?"
The female spy's voice was slightly joyful, so Amber couldn't tell whether she was serious or acting.
Amber was about to reply when Lilith's excited voice came to her ears.
"You, you have a woman outside?!"
"No, what do you mean by having a woman?"
"Amber? Are you talking to me? Hello." Isabel's somewhat puzzled voice sounded in the communication channel.
"Ahem. Maybe the signal in the forest is not very good."
Being interrupted by Lilith, Amber felt his blood pressure rise.
But fortunately, he calmed down in time, temporarily "turned off" Lilith, and then continued:
"Captain Margaret, let everyone in the team be alert, and then notify vehicle No. 4 to increase the alert level and battlefield surveillance level! I will issue the corresponding command in the command terminal at the same time, and then quickly meet up with you"
Amber's serious tone made Isabel suppress the doubts that had arisen in her heart when the call was just connected.
From Amber's tone, she felt that this might not be the time to joke.
"Got it, I'll notify everyone now!"
After the communication with Isabel ended, Amber issued a command on the command terminal at the same time.
Then he quickly checked his equipment and ammunition, and confirmed the remaining power of the exoskeleton again, and ran directly in the direction of the convoy.
Lilith's "mute microphone" was also lifted by him. This artificial intelligence also realized in the previous conversation that it seemed that this was not the time to joke.
"I will help you keep an eye on the warning module!"
"Yes."
Since the temporary stop of the convoy was not far away, Amber didn't spend much time running back again.
From the gap between the trees in front, he could already see a "Mongoose 4" covered with camouflage nets, and several mobile infantrymen hiding behind the trees on alert.
When the enemy identification is turned on, a small green triangle will be marked on their heads on the HUD of the tactical mask.
So even if they intentionally hide themselves during the alert, Amber can find them quickly.
But the closer to the convoy, the more uneasy Amber felt.
A mobile infantryman on alert also saw Amber through the markings on his tactical visor, and stood up and waved.
At this moment, Lilith's warning came to his ears at the same time.
"Warning! High-energy reaction detected! Location"
"Boom!"
Before she could finish, a blue-white 'beam', with a power that seemed to destroy the world, crossed the mountains and forests.
When the beam dissipated in the blink of an eye, the mobile infantrymen in Amber's field of vision also disappeared.
The 'Mongoose 4' armored vehicle farther away also 'melted' into two pieces like butter cut by a hot knife.
"Fuck! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
