Chapter 1025: Divide

Sheyan’s eyes narrowed when he saw the bus on the sidewalk and the innocent civilians screaming miserably under its wheels. The non-stop gunshots from the bus proved that the one who had the intention of taking lives was not just the bus driver; the passengers on the bus obviously shared the same mindset.

Mogensha easily judged the opponents’ numbers from the amount of muzzle flames. This was a necessary skill for survival that he had already acquired at the age of five.

“Including the driver, there are six of those bastards, but we can’t rule out the possibility of more remaining hidden in order to launch a surprise attack.”

Sheyan stared at the corpses and blood on the street. These Terminators were very skilled in shooting. Although the bus was constantly moving, they were able to find either the head or the heart every time they pulled the trigger. They left almost no survivors.

Zi came over and stood beside him. Her face hardened when she saw the scene in front of her.

“These murderers!” she exclaimed coldly.

“Something’s wrong with this new batch of Terminators. They’re not like the Terminators we met before,” said Sheyan with a frown.

As soon as she heard Sheyan said that, Zi immediately felt the same way.

“You’re right. The Terminators we’ve met before were all mechanical monsters that only have their targets in mind. Everyone who stands between them and their targets will be eliminated without mercy, but those who stand at the side will just be ignored. They prioritise efficiency, so they won’t even waste half a joule of energy on irrelevant people if they don’t have to.”

“But these Terminators in front of us aren’t just coming to kill us, they’re also killing the passers-by! These Terminators are indiscriminately shooting at them regardless of whether they’re threatening or if they’re in the way! And the driver — it clearly knows that driving on the sidewalk is not only inefficient for the implementation of their task, it will even delay them for a few seconds, but he still chose to do that…. It’s as if the objective Skynet gave them is to kill all the humans they see! ”

Sheyan nodded .

“You’re absolutely right. Seems like Skynet has made some changes to these Terminators. Maybe it’s an opportunity we can take advantage of.”

In the blink of an eye, the ferocious bus arrived at Ms. Adess’ house. The driver braked hard right then. The rotation of the rubber tires stopped abruptly, and the huge inertia of the bus caused the tires to drag long braking trails on the street.

Before the bus had completely come to a stop, several Terminators had already rushed out of the bus at an alarming speed. They did not get out of the bus through the door. Instead, each of them swept through the side of the bus next to them with a machine gun, then kicked a hole open and jumped down!

In just ten odd seconds, these horrible killers from the future surrounded Ms. Adess’ house from all directions. It should be noted that Ms. Adess was not staying in the villa-like suburban house commonly seen in the movies, but in a seven-storey reinforced concrete building.

On the first floor was Ms. Adess’ floral shop. The second floor was the office of the company her husband ran. Their house was on the top floor. The building had only two exits, and there were no adjacent buildings within thirty meters of it. As such, four Terminators were already enough to prevent the people inside from coming out.

The Terminators used their infrared vision to lock on to the humans inside the building. Unfortunately, the cold weather had made the people inside turn on their heaters or light up their hearths, so the temperature inside the building was quite high. A few heat sources thus easily interfered with the normal operation of the Terminators’ detectors.

The T-1000 appeared. He walked to the front gate, extended his finger, and inserted it into the keyhole. The terrifyingly versatile liquid metal instantly turned into a key which fit snugly inside the keyhole. The gate opened with a gentle flick of his finger. It seemed that the Terminator would still opt for the most economical and efficient choice of action as long as the task did not involve human beings.

Three T-910 Terminators immediately rushed into the building. The shattering of porcelain vases and the hoarse sound of furnitures being knocked away were instantly heard from the inside.

The T-1000 first looked around with cold eyes akin to a hawk’s, then followed the T-910s inside.

Sheyan witnessed all this through a night vision telescope from a building 300 meters away. He made some quick calculations. After five seconds, he felt the Terminators that entered the building should have arrived at the established detonation position, so he gave Mogensha a nod.

“Give them the present.”

The violent explosion happened instantly!

Before this, the “mastermind behind the scenes” had used a pre-set explosion trap to ruthlessly ambush them once. This time, Sheyan decided to borrow his idea to give this group of formidable Terminators a welcome gift!

At that moment, the powerful modified explosives prepared by Dolittle displayed their might!

The explosives called octogen was divided into three parts, and the amount that was buried in Ms. Adess’ house totaled up to 20 kilograms. Octogen consisted of an eight-membered ring nitramine structure and was usually used in high-powered missile warheads, as well as a component of the detonation charge of nuclear weapons and solid rocket propellants. From that, one could imagine its terror. More importantly, Dolittle had taken into account the abnormally strong endurance of the Terminators, so he had amped up the destructive heat and impact of the explosives!

The first to detonate was the explosive planted in the floral shop on the ground floor of the building. Thanks to Sheyan’s previous calculation, the timing of the detonation was perfectly controlled. The four Terminators who entered the building were less than three meters away from the core area of the explosion.

In that instant, the temperature of the core area reached up to 5,000 degrees Celcius, and the pressure exceeded 300 times the atmospheric pressure! Under such horrible impact, the outer layer of skin of the T-910 nearest to the core of the explosion was immediately scorched and carbonised. Then, its eyes burst. Although the precision cameras that were its eyes had been strengthened into the hardness of tempered steel, they could no longer keep themselves intact under such a high temperature.

Even its internal metallic skeleton was distorted and deformed. Under the action of the high temperature, it was twisted into a pretzel. The final thing to be ignited was its CPU chip that was soaked in tissue fluid. In the intense heat, a small flame lit up on the CPU chip like a burning mosquito-repellent mat, then went out shortly after.

The T-910 was terminated.

However, the death of the T-910 also blocked most of the power from the explosion. Although the two accomplices behind him were damaged to varying degrees, with the skin on their outer body burned away, the injuries only looked terrible — in truth, they had not lost their combat capabilities.

As for the T-1000, it just dissolved. The high temperature could only soften and liquefy its body. In this process, as long as there was not enough molten metal “infiltrating” into its liquefied body, its core would not be threatened.

Just seconds after this explosion, two more dull explosions rang out.

The two explosions were not aimed at the Terminators, but at the seven-storey building!

The whole building suddenly shook and, like a giant who could not bear the burden of its own weight, it groaned and collapsed!

The building, which had its main support structures destroyed, fell down quick under the pressure of its tremendous weight. The intact pillars and walls broke down and shattered completely. The building collapsed to the ground, rousing the dust and debris high into the sky!

To explain the whole process in steps, the whole building of tens of meters high first looked like a section of it had suddenly sunk into the ground. Then, its exterior glass windows and doors shattered and sparkled down like a torrential rain. The whole ground floor and the underground parking lot completely caved in!

The Terminators in the building had just tried to escape, but the violently collapsing pillars sealed off their paths. Then, thousands of tons of bricks and stones rumbled down and buried them underneath! Dust covered the sky.

Witnessing this situation, the four T-910 blocking the exits outside went into a confused state, because at that moment, a large amount of information from the outside flooded into their CPU chips. The calculation volume was too much for them to handle and there were simply too many aspects to be considered, so their programs, to put it crudely, “hung”.

But right at that moment, Party Ace appeared from the darkness. There was no doubt that the best choice when fighting against this group of Terminators was to reduce their long-range advantage as much as possible. So, Sheyan and co. rode a commercial MPV, accelerating to an amazing speed in an instant, rushing ahead at a distant Terminators!

However, the low roaring noise of the engine caught the attention of the T-910 Terminator and snapped it back into reality. It turned around at once and fired at the MPV with a cold gaze! The Terminators’ accuracy and precise control of guns with their strong wrists were perfectly put on display. A neat row of bullet holes appeared on the windshield. If the one sitting in the driver’s seat was an ordinary person, he would have been hit by a few bullets on his neck for sure!

However, the one there was Sheyan. When he saw the opponent opening fire, he stepped on the throttle more heavily, then raised his left hand to shield the fatal part that was his throat. Even though the Terminator’s weapon had been reinforced, the bullets it shot could only penetrate Sheyan’s flesh. They were rejected by his tough bones.

A few seconds later, the MPV reached the T-910 Terminator. It leapt to the side dexterously to avoid the vehicle. After Sheyan halted the car with a beautiful drift, several doors flew away accompanied by loud bangs as if the whole MPV was disintegrating. Out came a few silhouettes. Ace Party instantly started focusing their firepower on the T-910 Terminator. Mogensha’s bullets, Reef’s giant claw, Sheyan’s long saber, and Zi’s powerful Force immediately kissed the T-910’s body!

After they divided the powerful Terminator team into two with the explosions according to Sheyan’s plan, they knew time was going to be tight. Therefore, they must kill one of the enemies as quickly as they could, then face off against the remaining three Terminators on lookout duty with the full power of the Ace Party. Only in that way could they ensure a higher chance of winning!
