At this time, Max repeated his words. "Hands up!"

Keagan’s face twisted with rage.

He refused to raise his hands. Instead, he gripped his metal bat tightly and charged forward.

Normally, he would only use this bat to punish the workers he didn’t like. He wouldn’t bring other weapons, like a knife or blade, but now he had no choice but to rely on it.

"Do you think I’ll bow to you?" he shouted, swinging the bat at Max .

But Max didn’t move. He already knew he didn’t need to fire.

Bang!

The shot

    The survivors were stunned as the latest notifications appeared before their eyes.Jett’s hands trembled as he held up the first glowing orb."This... W-we did it!!" he exclaimed, though his grip was careful, unsure how fragile it might be.Ryan and Xander quickly joined him, prying open the other two fallen Sentinels. Within minutes, three identical cores had been gathered, each one radiating a steady glow of blue light..For a moment, no one spoke. Then Ryan broke into a grin. At this point, his voice was shaking with excitement. "We finally found it... the way forward! This is how we break past Level 5!"Xander laughed, unable to contain his relief. "I thought we’d be stuck here for days. I even wondered if the Mech Siege’s reward would be the breakthrough method. But now... now we can actually level up." He clutched the empty Plasma Rifle tightly, silently thankful for the weapon that had made this Jetty possible.Jett’s pale face also lit up with pride. "I knew salvaging that

  • Chapter 45: The Secret of Leveling Up

    Max didn’t want to collapse another tunnel. He felt that it was too early and there were too few enemy units. It was not worth it!There must be another way...Then, as Max was trying hard to come up with a plan to deal with this, Jett appeared, clutching one of the salvaged Plasma Rifles.His face was pale, but his eyes were filled with resolve."I managed to charge it," he said quickly. "Well... I swapped the energy cell. It’s unstable, but it should fire three times."Max ’s eyes widened. "Three shots?"Jett nodded. "No more. Use them wisely."Without hesitation, Max handed the weapon to Xander . "You’re the best shot we have. Sharpshooter’s Focus...make it count."Xander swallowed hard, gripping the heavy rifle. He didn’t have time to think as the enemies were coming.He crouched behind the smoke and steadied his breathing...’I can do this...’ Xander reminded himself.The closest black-plated Sentinel stepped forward with its shield raised, and sword ready...At this time, C

  • Chapter 44: The New Type

    The reason why Max wanted to know more about their past was simple... They lacked information.The existence of a nearby shelter, the surrounding territories, the location of the A.I. Army’s base, the talent they possess, and even random things about this world that could be helpful... All of these were vital to understanding their situation.They knew too little about their enemies and their surroundings.After all, they needed to find a method to deal with each type of Mechanical Soldier. The Sentinels no longer seemed invincible after learning the limitations of their sensors, their rifles, and their turning rate.Surely, the Hounds, Swarmers, and other Mechanical Soldiers must have weaknesses they could exploit if they wanted to survive the three days, or even just the remaining hours, of the Mech Siege.’But not even five hours passed from the Mech Siege... The difficulty will definitely increase as time passes. We have no time to rest.’ Max thought as he checked his current st

  • Chapter 43: The Visitors

    Xander and Ryan , still catching their breath, didn’t waste time. First of all, they secured the high‑tech rifles, hoping they could be repaired or used later.Under Max ’s orders, they and the others also began breaking apart the fallen Sentinels. Hatchets and improvised tools pried open their plating, hydraulic joints were pulled free, and whatever items they could remove were carefully detached.Every piece mattered.The storeroom would soon be filled with salvaged materials that Jett could repurpose into weapons, armor, or traps."One... two—"Xander and Ryan lifted the torso of a broken Sentinel. The mechanical remains were heavy, but together they managed to haul them back toward the shelter.Nearby, the bodies of the three men who had fought so bravely lay still. Their revolvers had already been collected, and their pockets searched for anything useful.Yet Max hesitated before giving the final order."Take them to the furnace," he said quietly. Then, after a pause, he adde

  • Chapter 42: The Second Wave

    Max was focused on the rifles of the Sentinels.His team used various baits within the smoke to make them waste their rifle energy. As soon as he noticed the light in the rifles dimming, he knew it was time.They’re empty."Charge!" As soon as he gave the command, his team of six Survivors moved closer to overwhelm the Sentinels with their guns.There was also a group of five more people led by Rene, who was busy reloading revolvers and waiting for their chance. They had already learned from the previous battle, so Max had created a small team assigned specifically to reload the guns.Meanwhile, the Sentinels lowered their weapons, switching to melee. Their arms extended as blades snapped out from hidden compartments."Now it’s our turn," Max muttered as he raised his revolver, firing point‑blank into a Sentinel’s optic.Since they were no longer hiding in the smoke, they could finally focus on shooting from a distance.Clang! Clang! Clang!This time, their shots were more accurate

  • Chapter 41: Charge

    As soon as the group of people ran towards their shelter’s area, it was immediately noticed by the scouts monitoring the surroundings.So even without Rene’s information, Max was already aware of what was going on."Good decision..." Max muttered after realizing that Rene chose to deploy those smoke grenades.He then watched as plumes curled across the garbage field through the periscope."Six humans... and eight Sentinels, huh."Max frowned as he saw the silhouettes of the Sentinels advance. He had no time to hesitate. They need to quickly prepare for battle."Ryan , Xander ... revolvers ready. Inform Rene to keep the smoke grenades going. We’ll lure them into the traps." Max ordered as he also readied himself to join the battle outside."At least those Sentinels weren’t carrying human captives." Aya muttered as she looked through the periscope."That’s true. We can just focus on shooting them." Jett added.He had actually just finished analysing some of the materials they loote
