Chapter 1562: Team Members Online, the Special Models Online

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After watching the videos which Alfred pulled up, Luke basically understood the current situation in Grand Rapids.

The attack had actually happened at four in the afternoon, but it had been treated as a separate act of violence.

After all, there were too many violent crimes in America every day, and Alfred couldn’t keep Luke apprised at all times. Otherwise, there would be no end to it.

Alfred had been compiling online information over the last three hours, and in the end detected something suspicious and connected the dots.

Grand Rapids had fallen into chaos at that moment, to the point that Luke had to be informed.

But that was just Alfred’s speculation based on the information. Luke had to figure out the truth himself.

Looking at the dark clouds in the northeast, he murmured, “It’s going to rain.”

Grand Rapids wasn’t far from Chicago. It was on the east side, and Chicago was on the west. They faced each other across Lake Michigan.

Luke crossed a distance of 200 kilometers in less than ten minutes and reached the outskirts to the west of Grand Rapids.

Smoke and fire rose from many parts of the city, but there were no firefighters putting out the fire; there weren’t even any police officers to maintain order.

A lot of people were driving away from the city in a panic, and the roads were jammed, but the police didn’t care.

Luke didn’t bother with them. It wasn’t like they would die from a traffic jam.

Compared with that, he would rather solve the root cause of the chaos.

It was much easier to deal with bad guys than a bunch of quarrelsome civilians stuck in a traffic jam.

Luke released four mid-sized stealth drones and hundreds of mini drones from his inventory.

The four mid-sized drones scattered and took up positions to form a signal hub for the mini drones, which set up a complete surveillance network that covered all of Grand Rapids.

A lot of information started to flood in. After a quick analysis, Alfred gave an answer similar to what Luke had guessed. “The attack is mainly in the center of Grand Rapids. A lot of unknown creatures are attacking the citizens.”

Luke asked, “Has everyone been informed?”

Alfred said, “Bastet, Hammersmith, Iron Cage King and Lady Deathstrike are ready to go online.”

Luke nodded and landed on the roof. He opened the door and walked in.

Luke closed the door, and with a thought, he took out a large weapons cabinet from his inventory.

Then, five special model remote-controlled androids appeared around the

weapons cabinet.

With these androids that could be mentally controlled, it was very easy for his teammates to go online remotely.

Thus, when Luke went on missions nowadays, he would release two drones at appropriate distances to act as a signal hub for the mental control terminal in Nassau County.

As a result, the effective remote control range for the robots could be extended to about 1,500 kilometers.

Even at a range of 2,000 kilometers, a robot could still carry out basic operations; it was just that it would “jam” or “disconnect” easily, and couldn’t be used for combat or delicate tasks.

The difference between the special model android and the “common use” robot was that each special model was tailored for a specific team member.

The power and structure of each special model had been modified in line with each team member’s traits. It also had different armor and support equipment, as well as different appearances.

For example, Big Dipper still had the black and white skull mask. Frank had the white skull which he had designed himself on the chest. Angel’s special model still looked more like antique armor, and Selina still had a cat face, green eyes, and retractable claws.

Alice’s special model was the most ordinary, and looked similar to the original prototype.

The next moment, the eyes of the five androids lit up at the same time, and they went from standing mechanically to the team members’ customary stances. Frank said directly, “We don’t have enough information. We need more.”

Luke said, “Coming right up.”

Selina asked, “Where’s the enemy? My fists are itching!”

Angel subconsciously raised her hands. Fists? Apart from Big Dipper and Batman, was there anyone else in the team better at that than her? She had always relied on her fists to make a living.

Alice remained silent.

Anything was fine with her. In any case, she would just do whatever Luke said.

Luke pointed at the weapons cabinet. “I’m sorry, but there are a lot of enemies today, and they’ll be using all kinds of weapons. So, it’s best to use firearms.”

Both Angel and Alice were stumped a little. Guns? They weren’t good with these.

It wasn’t that they couldn’t, but compared with close-range combat, it was like the difference between passing an exam and scoring 90.

Luke didn’t waste any time. He simply said, “Don’t worry. This has a shooting support system. It’s enough for long-range support. Also, I’m not stopping you from close combat. It’s just that it would be more efficient when paired with guns.”

As he spoke, he opened the weapons cabinet and took out an assault rifle and an ammo belt.

Gesturing for Selina to turn around so that her back was to Angel and Alice, Luke slung the ammo belt over her shoulder and put the rifle on her back. In less than a second, the two components were locked in place.

The two women immediately understood.

The android had several support fittings on the shoulders and back.

In any case, given their shooting skills, it didn’t make a difference if the gunfire support was slower or quicker by two or three seconds. They also wouldn’t need to waste time reloading.

Selina had already played around with the special model before. She took off the assault rifle and the ammo belt, and tossed them to Alice. “This is for you. Since we have to use guns as much as possible, I’ll use something more fancy.”

As she spoke, she took out another weapon from the weapons cabinet and a huge backpack-style ammo box. She quickly assembled the parts together and put them on.

She pressed a button, and the six barrels started to spin.

At that moment, Selina transformed into the legendary Gatling Gun Buddha.

Alice: …

Angel: ..

Frank’s eyes lit up, before he immediately suppressed the impulse. He chose an automatic rifle that he had modified himself from the weapons cabinet.

He could be considered the best here at using guns — unlike Selina, he couldn’t willy-nilly choose a weapon of mass destruction.

His modified automatic rifle had sufficient mid-range precision and could provide ample firepower support. It was much more suitable.

As he quickly examined his gun, he walked out. “Our first objective is to eliminate the monsters in the city center and protect the citizens. Our second objective is to gather enough information and find the ‘key’ to resolving this matter. Is that clear?”

Everybody replied, “Understood.”

They had gone through this sort of basic team communication before in the Battle of New York. Alice and Angel, who were less adept at this sort of thing, had brushed up on this aspect after the battle and weren’t total newbies anymore.

Frank: “Knight will be the main attack force?”

He had to ask Luke for his opinion in order to avoid any undesirable changes during the battle.

Luke nodded. “Can do.”.
