Marvelous Mecha

Chapter 818: Roland's Intentions


He even recognized him and was still acting, Roland didn't even bother to answer his rather brainless and boring question, "Stop pretending."

Upon hearing this, Feng Yi couldn't help but frown, his slightly narrowed, sharp eyes and the penetrating coldness in his pupils made Roland's heart skip a beat, but it instantly returned to normal, "Who exactly are you."

"I am ..."

Actually, who she was didn't matter, Feng Yi could feel the strong threat emanating from her, and without hesitation, he struck her throat with a direct hit as she spoke...

Feng Yi's surprise attack was not something that Yita and Mirami could compare with, his speed was as fast as lightning, as swift as thunder, resembling a dragon emerging from the sea, catching even Roland off guard.

Yet, he somehow missed and staggered forward...

Really? Could it be like this... could she be so ruthless? It was a sudden attack, understand, especially since it was Brother Feng's attack.

Such a nimble little kitten, to be able to dodge his throat lock attack at such a distance, though his body was no longer at its peak condition, it was certainly not something any girl could avoid.

Feng Yi was so surprised that he was almost overwhelmed, and he awkwardly straightened up and fixated his gaze on the newcomer...

"Who starts hitting before finishing their words, what do you want to do?"

"Cough, I... Miss, don't misunderstand, I just want to simply make friends with you."

Cut it out, clearly wanting to sneak attack people, Roland embarrassingly said, "Forget hitting on girls, if you're thinking about sneaking an attack, your current physical state wouldn't allow it."

So, he had been guessed correctly. Since he had been recognized and she hadn't shown any intent to attack, Feng Yi simply decided not to hide any longer, "I am Feng Yi, who are you."

The series of questions thrown out by Feng Yi suddenly made Roland somewhat lost for words, "Meeting is fate, why need you know my identity, actually, we have met before."

Upon hearing this, Feng Yi immediately started sizing up Roland, and true to her statement that they had met once before, she did bear some resemblance to that former super warrior Roland, "So it's you."

"Hehe, is it a surprise?"

"Indeed, you should be at Hell's Gate as a former super warrior, why suddenly find me? And how did you know where I was?"

"I am a friend of Lasso from the past, may I choose to answer your questions selectively?"

"What if I say no?"

"Then I won't speak."

Damn, this woman is quite sassy and stubborn, really can't win against her, "Then just say what you want to say."

"I came here mainly to inform you of something and to ask you a question."

"Please speak."

"This war, whether win or lose, actually no longer has any meaning…"

Feng Yi fell into brief contemplation, from Roland's eyes and tone, he could discern something extraordinary, "What are you trying to say..."

Roland did not directly respond to Feng Yi, "Listen to a story of mine."

Seeing that Feng Yi did not refuse, which implied his agreement, Roland began to narrate a fragment she knew.

In Roland's narrative, it was a history concerning human disasters, an old tale of the mainframe Noah...

Humanity had elevated their technological level within just a thousand years to heights unreachable in millions of years before—ambition is humanity's original sin, war is the beginning of destruction. People fought for interests, and civilizations upgraded through wars. From planes and tanks to mobile soldiers and even space fortresses, everything revolved around the same words—war and interest.

It was precisely because of the technological explosion that the ecosystem gradually became disrupted, which undoubtedly led to nature's ruthless sweep. Foolish humans always thought they could combat nature's punishment with their feeble technological power. Thus, from the early 23rd century, they finally developed an artificial intelligence named Noah by aggregating the power of the world.

Humanity ultimately did not wait for nature's punishment but destroyed nature and their spiritual world and nearly annihilated themselves during the Noah era.

However, the emergence of Noah somewhat delayed the steps of humanity's extinction—but parallel lines always meet at some point, and the cycle of cause and effect might be delayed but never absent.

From the Gudaya Civilization to Mesopotamia, from Murya to Atlantis, destruction and rebirth seemed to become an inescapable fate of humanity—now, as the fifth epoch draws near, this might already be a time beyond humanity.

Regarding Roland's brief story, Feng Yi hesitated for quite a while. He did not immediately affirm or deny but tried to say, "Why are you telling me all this?"

"This is also why I came to you today, because you are someone who might change this 'situation.' Even I can't figure it out how, with your power alone, you could escape this situation."

Upon hearing this, Feng Yi just smiled, "I can't see that far, nor do I understand your profound meanings. In the eyes of a soldier, there is only battle. You should understand what I mean."

Roland slightly lowered her eyes and nodded, "Yes, but... your body seems to be in a terrible condition now, unable to sustain combat anymore; why then do you still sneak into Saudi alone?"

"Who made me a soldier? That might just be the inescapable fate you see," Feng Yi said while lighting a cigarette casually. He found that cigarettes could indeed soothe a lot of fatigue when you are melancholic.

"If it continues like this, you will die, and your death might even cause a causal change in the world pattern."

"Yes, everyone will die, either as light as a feather or as heavy as Mount Tai, but all that feels like nonsense to me. As long as I am true to my heart, I just want to use my limited time to do all I can, to do things I believe are meaningful."

"Aren't you afraid of death at all?"

Feng Yi just smiled silently and did not reply, "Leave now, and don't disturb my work anymore."

"A true warrior ought to stand tall and bear the burden he is shouldered with, carefree, unrestrained, unconventional. You are worthy of being called a federal hero, although I find the term 'hero' extremely stupid; it certainly does not suit you,"

Roland smiled faintly, her gaze softening and tender as she handed Feng Yi a storage capsule, "Take this."

"What's in the capsule?"

"A new invention from a friend of yours, though it's utterly useless for your current physical condition."

Heh, another scheme from that clever woman, Feng Yi thought as he shook his head with a wry smile...

"Here's another little thing I'm giving you as a small gift—it can sustain your body in peak condition for a certain period. I think you need this."

Feng Yi did not question the authenticity of Roland's words. If Roland had wanted to harm him, he was no match for her now, he said, "Why would you do this?"

"Hehe, such an unconventional person as you can ask such cliché questions too."
