622: Ele.me, Lord, am I laughing with you?
Lan Qi'er looked at the overwhelming barrage of comments on the screen, listened to the 'bang bang' of the door being battered nearby, and the hurried gasps hidden in the gaps between the impacts, and couldn't help but get goosebumps.
"What to do... what to do... what to do!"
The thought of what might happen after the door was broken down made her body go limp.
Although it hadn't happened yet, she believed that if the door opened, what would happen would definitely be a nightmare she would never shake off in this life.
As for seeking help from Subspace civilization?
Lan Qi'er, who had already stood by the window, cautiously peeked out half her head and looked at the cold mechs shuttling between the tall buildings outside the window, feeling a sense of powerlessness.
Indeed, Shen Qiang, outside the room, was not a good person.
But those guys flying in the sky were invaders from an unknown Alien Planet!
Asking them for help would be tantamount to a defection in disguise, acknowledging their status as enforcers?
"Should I still call the police?"
Just as she raised her phone, Lan Qi'er remembered the information she had just seen on the Rising Dragon Television official website.
"Is that information real, or fabricated by the Subspace civilization to intentionally drive a wedge between us and the United Army?"
While she hesitated, the banging outside the door grew louder.
Sparse dust fell from the door crack, and Lan Qi'er could even see the special door frame starting to bend and deform.
Although the door and door frame were specially made, Shen Qiang was also a gene-enhanced individual who had taken a Type II gene agent.
The door had already done its best to withstand so many impacts from Shen Qiang.
"Bang~"
With another crash, the door, pushed to its limit, finally let out a 'creak' of agony, and the entire door frame became warped.
Through the bent door frame, seeing Shen Qiang's cold and excited eyes in the shadow outside the door, and his slightly twisted face due to his excited emotions, Lan Qi'er unhesitatingly pulled open the curtains and shouted at a mech a hundred meters away that was patrolling the streets, seemingly observing the terrain:
"Help!~~~~~"
In her hoarse shout, Shen Qiang, who had already stretched out a hand and was prying at the door frame, was bewildered.
"You actually asked for help from an Alien Planet civilization in Subspace?"
A hundred meters away, the mech observing the street's terrain also turned around somewhat bewildered, extending a jet-black index finger that gleamed with a cold hue in the sunlight, and pointed at its own head with a hint of confusion.
Although he didn't speak.
But the bewildered emotion was evident.
Seeing that the Alien Planet being could communicate, Lan Qi'er immediately waved her hands frantically:
"Save me!"
"Someone broke in and wants to rape me!"
Upon hearing the word 'rape,' the blue light in the mech's eye visor immediately flickered with dangerous red light.
"Bang~"
With a short burst of air, Zhou Mo had already piloted the mech to Lan Qi'er's front.
Up close, Lan Qi'er's panicked expression appeared even more delicate and pitiful.
It also highlighted how hideous and hateful Shen Qiang's face was as he half-entered the room, full of malice, wanting to pounce on Lan Qi'er.
"Besides the Japanese, I hate rapists the most in my life!"
A somewhat cold roar, translated into Tiannan dialect by the mech's built-in translation software, reached their ears.
Then, Lan Qi'er only felt a gust of wind above her head, and the cold, ferocious, and highly sci-fi-impact future mech disappeared from her sight.
Before she could react, she heard an incredibly violent impact behind her.
Turning her head back somewhat bewildered, she found that her home's door was gone.
Of course, Shen Qiang, who had half his body inside the door, was also gone.
Looking through the large hole kicked open by the mech to the other end of the corridor, Lan Qi'er involuntarily trembled again.
Shen Qiang was truly gone.
Half his body was exposed, the other half was embedded in the wall by the door, and blood oozed out along the door frame, constantly pooling and winding in the corridor, leaving a chilling bloody trail.
'Subspace people are so brutal.'
But thinking that this brutality was to protect her, Lan Qi'er's pale face gained a hint of color:
"Tha... thank you."
"If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do."
"If I didn't want to be defiled by him, perhaps the only path left for me was to jump off the building."
Speaking of this, she glanced out the window again.
Her room was on the 136th floor of the building, over 500 meters above the ground.
Jumping from such a high place, even if she had injected a Type I gene agent and her physical fitness was three times that of an ordinary person, there was absolutely no chance of survival.
On the other side, Zhou Mo, who had vented his anger with a kick, turned his head at the sound and immediately saw the pitiful Lan Qi'er.
He was a virgin, had lived 23 years without even holding a Young Miss's hand, delivered food to soon-to-be-demolished residential buildings, and when a Young Miss, still lightly dressed in the cold wind, waved at him, he only dared to lower his head and walk quickly. Where had he ever encountered such a situation?
'Did I just play the hero saving the beauty today?'
In a daze, she saw Lan Qi'er, who, though an Alien Planet native, was aesthetically pleasing to him in every way, raise her head again:
"Um, thank you so much, I don't even know how to properly thank you."
Hearing that delicate voice, Zhou Mo only felt his body go soft.
It was only because he was currently operating a mech, a body of steel.
Otherwise, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to move his feet:
"I'm someone who cannot stand to see evil deeds occur."
"Punishing evil and promoting good, and helping those in need, are excellent virtues inherited from our Chinese nation since ancient times."
"No need to thank me."
Seeing that Zhou Mo was willing to communicate with her on equal terms, a light appeared in Lan Qi'er's eyes.
'The Subspace visitors don't seem as terrifying as the internet says.'
'If the information on the Rising Dragon Television official website is true, and the United Army is really that incompetent, perhaps letting the Subspace civilization rule us is also a good choice?'
Lost in thought, Lan Qi'er looked at Zhou Mo somewhat timidly:
"My name is Lan Qi'er, and I'm a third-year student at Tiannan University."
"Are you here to..."
At this point, Lan Qi'er remembered a new term she had learned on the Rising Dragon Television official website:
"Are you here to liberate us?"
Facing Lan Qi'er's eyes, which seemed to speak, Zhou Mo subconsciously wanted to swallow.
But thinking that he was currently a mechanical body and wouldn't show emotional fluctuations, his Aura, which had always weakened three points when encountering girls since he could remember, finally slowly hardened.
Recalling the information about the United Army he had received not long ago, he took two steps forward to the bedside, appearing somewhat commanding:
"The United Army's way of raising you like livestock, treating you as experimental subjects, consumables, and even as animals or sex slaves, ought to be judged, shouldn't it?"
Looking at the dark mech's back, standing by the bed, radiating a cold and powerful Aura in the sunlight, a hint of admiration appeared in Lan Qi'er's eyes:
"If the United Army is truly as incompetent as you say, then you are practically saviors."
"And also, you're so powerful, you must be a very strong person in your civilization, right?"
His previously spirited posture stiffened.
In Huaxia, his strength at the Mortal Body Realm Middle Stage could only be described as ordinary, a dime a dozen.
But thinking that this was on an Alien Planet, and an Alien Planet with extremely ordinary strength, he became resolute again.
In Huaxia, when others called him, 'That delivery guy, the community doesn't allow outside electric bikes,' he would honestly park his vehicle outside.
But on an Alien Planet?
Ele.me Celestial Venerable operating a mech, joking around with you?
