Chapter 86

"Leigong and I will go down to provide support, Kantu will snipe from above, and Taohuayan will help clear the remaining monsters." Five minutes later, with the help of the Cleaner, the werewolf broke through the encirclement with the little girl. The monsters that kept surrounding them on the upper three floors were also mostly cleared out. The Cleaner rushed downstairs with Leigong.

"Set up magnetic mines." Running downstairs, the Cleaner gave an order and jumped into the werewolf mech, charging towards the werewolf and the little girl.

As the name suggests, magnetic mines are mines that can attract metal with their magnetic force. These mines are specifically designed to deal with mechanical monsters; other creatures can step on them without any danger. However, once a mechanical monster steps on one, the mine's trigger mechanism will activate, causing the mine to explode.

"I know you can understand me. If you want to survive, you must cooperate with me. Otherwise, both you and Sangsang will be captured by these monsters." Seeing the Cleaner approaching, the werewolf stopped, looking at the werewolf mech with hatred. Noticing the werewolf's expression, the Cleaner immediately shouted loudly.

The werewolf showed a hesitant look but, seeing the monsters getting closer, quickly made a decision and ran towards the Cleaner with the little girl. The Cleaner controlled the werewolf mech to cover their retreat.

First, the werewolf howled at the moon, instantly clearing a large area of monsters. The Cleaner only let the skill's forward distance go halfway before retreating. If he had charged 20 meters into the monster crowd, he wouldn't have been confident in breaking out of the encirclement. These monsters were no longer influenced by hate values but had commanders who could coordinate their attacks.

"Enough, come back." When the Cleaner was preparing to hold out for a while, he received a message from Leigong. Without hesitation, the Cleaner retreated, but as he did, he glanced at the mine locations marked by Leigong. In a few places, the magnetic mines were more densely packed, and the Cleaner made the werewolf mech jump over them.

"Go upstairs." The Cleaner shouted to the werewolf standing at the building's entrance, while the little girl, Sangsang, hid behind the werewolf, looking at the Cleaner with fear and curiosity. It seemed she hadn't interacted with humans in a long time, making her feel uneasy and confused.

Boom! A mine exploded in the monster crowd, causing chaos in the middle of the advancing monsters, and several were killed. The mechanical monsters were agile, so they were in the middle of the crowd during the pursuit.

The mutated monsters that stepped on the mines earlier were fine, but when a mechanical monster stepped on one, a disc-like object attached to its foot, and the mine exploded. Several nearby monsters were killed, causing more chaos in the middle of the advancing monster crowd.

The werewolf hesitated but, seeing the overwhelming number of monsters, had no choice but to follow the Cleaner's orders and run into the building with Sangsang. Leigong and the Cleaner stayed behind to cover their retreat. Leigong released some mechanical puppets that could shoot and self-destruct, while the Cleaner guarded the building's entrance with the werewolf mech, giving the impression of a lone warrior holding the line.

More and more mechanical monsters entered the magnetic minefield, and the intense explosions caused chaos in the monster crowd. The three monster commanders at the back seemed to have given some orders, and the monsters stopped attacking and blocked the building's entrance.

"What are they doing?" Leigong asked, puzzled by the monsters' behavior.

"Get up here quickly. All the monsters in the area are heading this way. They want to trap us here. We need to leave as soon as possible." After a three-minute standoff, Taohuayan shouted in the team channel. The surveillance footage showed a massive wave of monsters surrounding the building.

"Go up, breaking through from the front is impossible. Has Fatso found the boss yet?" The Cleaner instructed Leigong and asked Taohuayan.

"No, the entire area is under surveillance, but I can't find where it's hiding." Taohuayan said, sounding frustrated.

Just as the Cleaner and Leigong were about to retreat, the monsters blocking the entrance suddenly charged into the building. The staircase was too narrow, so the Cleaner put away the werewolf mech and threw a few grenades from his belt. He then drew his pistol and started shooting. Leigong controlled the mechanical puppets to self-destruct, blocking the monsters' advance.

"Leigong, go down first, Fatso second, you take the girl third, Kantu fourth, and I'll be last." On the balcony, the Cleaner took out a rope from his military backpack, secured one end, and threw it down. The rope was long enough to reach the ground from the rooftop.

Leigong didn't hesitate, took out a safety clip from his waist, attached it to the rope, and grabbed it with both hands. He kicked off the balcony edge and slid down a considerable distance. After falling a bit, he kicked the wall again and continued sliding down. After a few repetitions, he landed on the ground and started clearing the monsters behind the building. Kantu provided fire support from the balcony edge.

"Don't forget, there's a safety clip. Wear gloves and hold the rope tightly to control your descent. Hurry, we don't have much time." Seeing Taohuayan pack away his computer, the Cleaner helped him with the safety clip and patted his shoulder.

Ah... Taohuayan mimicked Leigong, leaned back, tightened the rope, and kicked the balcony edge. However, his first attempt was clearly not standard, and with a scream, the rope quickly slipped through the clip, causing him to fall freely.

"Grab the rope with your hands." The Cleaner shouted in the team channel. Taohuayan, hearing the Cleaner's voice through his headphones, instinctively followed the order. He tightly grabbed the rope, and the intense friction, even with gloves, made his palms burn. However, his descent slowed down, and he landed on the ground with a thud, though his buttocks felt like they had split into three pieces, he was otherwise unharmed.

"You take Sangsang down." The Cleaner attached a safety clip to the werewolf's waist and said. The werewolf needed one hand to hold Sangsang and the other to grab the rope, so a safety clip was necessary.

As the Cleaner helped the werewolf with the safety clip, the werewolf's body tensed, and he looked wary. However, when he saw the Cleaner give him the safety clip, his expression changed. The Cleaner, however, didn't pay much attention to this and turned to throw more grenades at the monsters below.

"Go down." The Cleaner took a few more grenades from Kantu and patted his shoulder, pointing to the rope.

"Be careful." Kantu attached the safety clip to the rope, gave the Cleaner a thumbs-up, and jumped down. Although his movements and the tension on the rope weren't perfect, it was much better than Taohuayan's free fall.

The Cleaner threw all his grenades, picked up a meter-long steel pipe, and wrapped the rope around it twice, securing it in the middle. He grabbed both ends of the pipe and jumped. The rope, wrapped around the pipe, created intense friction, slowing his descent. After a few kicks against the wall, the Cleaner landed on the ground from the rooftop.

"The monsters are fewer in that direction." The Cleaner asked Taohuayan, who was working on his computer.

"The fewest are at the seven o'clock position, but it's the opposite direction of the safe base. Also, come look at this footage." Taohuayan quickly made a judgment and showed a video to the Cleaner.

The footage showed the monsters entering the building, followed by the three intelligent monster commanders, a zombie, a werewolf, and a pig-headed man. The camera focused on the zombie. As the massive crowd of monsters surged forward, the three intelligent commanders followed closely. However, when the zombie stepped on a patch of ground that hadn't been hit by a mine, a missed magnetic mine triggered, attaching to its ankle and exploding.

The three intelligent commanders were instantly thrown back, and the werewolf and pig-headed man were injured to varying degrees. The zombie, who stepped on the mine, suffered the most severe injuries, with its entire leg blown off. What shocked the Cleaner and the others was that the exposed parts of the zombie's body, including the severed leg, were not bones but metal. The severed leg had exposed coils that were still sparking.

"Robot!" The Cleaner exclaimed in surprise. Indeed, the zombie was a robot covered in flesh, and it was a highly intelligent one.
