Without system targeting, the laser just grazed the six-legged robot and shot toward the horizon.
Seeing Sun Jack's attack fail, 4 Feng laughed, "Haha! Dumbass, still want to chase me? Dream on!"
However, everyone's attention was focused on Sun Jack, completely unaware that Sun Jack wasn't alone. In the next second, AA behind Sun Jack pursed her lips, aimed with one eye, and pulled the trigger.
Accompanied by a puff of smoke, a rusty gear shot out from the bizarre-looking muzzle of AA's gun as the gunfire rang out.
Although AA's firearm looked very ugly, it was undoubtedly powerful, which she promised for her weapons.
With an extremely piercing metal friction sound, the flying gear slanted into the base of the six-legged robot.
With the six-legged robot's center of gravity unstable, 4 Feng directly fell face-first into the snow.
When he managed to get up from the snow, he saw a pitch-black barrel pressed against his forehead.
"Ceasefire! Ceasefire!!" Along with 4 Feng's trembling voice, the intense gunfire and artillery of the entire junk snow mountain finally ceased.
Sun Jack pulled 4 Feng in front of him to use as a shield, then gently tapped the golden faceplate with the barrel. "Have your men make way."
Faced with life and death, 4 Feng complied obediently, and his men dispersed to create a path leading to Varanasi.
Seeing the situation getting under control, Sun Jack breathed a slight sigh of relief and glanced at AA, "You okay?"
AA beamed a smile at him. "Boss, you're amazing!"
Just as Sun Jack was taking 4 Feng away, another group blocked Sun Jack's path.
They were from the 1% gang, glaring at Sun Jack with their subcutaneous armors exposed.
Just as Sun Jack, with 4 Feng in front of him, was about to say something, a bullet suddenly shot over, directly aiming for 4 Feng's head.
Sun Jack pulled fiercely, saving his life, but soon more attacks came, not caring at all about the hostage 4 Feng's life.
"Damn it, this idiot's death would be better, damn, no need to pay! Kill them for me!"
More and more helicopters flew in from the snow, determined to encircle Sun Jack.
Seeing the increasing numbers, Sun Jack knew he had to think of another way.
Fortunately, there's always a way out. Compared to before, Sun Jack now had new options.
Next, hiding, he yelled while dragging 4 Feng, "See that! They're even trying to kill you! You idiot, still helping them?"
"I'm not holding against you for selling them information earlier! Help me escape! Whatever they pay you, I'll pay double!" Sun Jack's attitude shifted smoothly, fully grasping the world's rules.
4 Feng hesitated but seeing Sun Jack's dark barrel, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Triple!"
"Deal! No problem!" Sun Jack readily agreed. It didn't matter how many times, because he didn't have money anyway. Having replaced all his prosthetic bodies, his chips were almost sold out, so whatever he said was just learning from Old Six to make things up.
Soon the situation changed again. Originally here to hunt down Sun Jack, 4 Feng's subordinates quickly switched sides to fight the 1% gang, and the situation became chaotic.
As the situation got increasingly chaotic, no one noticed Sun Jack quietly began to retreat. His goal was survival, not a fight to the death with these gangs.
"Damn, this damn place Varanasi really can't be stayed in, we've offended both sides, we can't go back, we must leave here quickly," Sun Jack said.
About to say something, AA gently leaned her head on Sun Jack's shoulder and rubbed, "Mmm..."
"Don't come down yet, let's erase any traces first to avoid the enemy tracking us," Sun Jack said, diving into the thick snow and stealthily advancing.
However, he didn't head toward Varanasi; he skirted the garbage mountain heading for the wilderness since cities were dangerous, he'd go through the wild to the next city.
The wilderness was indeed dangerous, and radiation high, but compared to the harsh environment, the city full of people was scarier.
"Boss, why did you save me?"
"Cut the crap, my purpose is to protect you." Sun Jack's tone became much firmer.
"Your purpose is to protect the original AA..."
"The original AA has the original Sun Jack to protect, my purpose is to protect you! That's my reason for existence!" At that moment, Clone Sun Jack finally gave his answer.
AA didn't ask further, just felt warmth in her heart.
The two kept walking until the black snow stopped falling from the sky. Only then did Sun Jack pause, realizing this was safely far from Varanasi's reach.
Finding a barely stable ruin, Sun Jack sighed, patted behind him, "Come down, let's rest before moving on."
However, AA behind him didn't move, and at that moment, Sun Jack felt his hands a bit wet. When he lifted his hand and saw it covered in blood, he instantly felt his scalp explode.
"AA! AA!!" Sun Jack had just laid AA down when he saw the gruesome wound on her back, almost exposing the ribs.
Clearly, she'd been wounded in the earlier chaos but hadn't mentioned it.
"Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell me!!" Sun Jack panicked, rummaging for medical supplies.
However, most of his body comprised combat prostheses, relying on his programmed DNA for self-healing, even subconsciously not installing them when drunk.
Cradling AA, Sun Jack checked her pulse, gritting his teeth as he rushed back to Varanasi; the city had medical robots and hospitals, only there could he save AA!
Blue flames burst from under his feet, launching him high, rapidly navigating the ruins.
"Boss...can't go back...it's dangerous there..." AA strained to speak, keeping awake.
"Hold on! Hang in there!!"
Sun Jack understood that city was exceptionally dangerous for him, but at this moment, saving AA was all that mattered.
Lying in Sun Jack's arms, AA watched his chin, "Boss, you don't have to save me... just clone another AA..."
"Shut up! It's not the same!" Sun Jack shouted, blue flames from his jetpack propelling him through the dark wasteland.
"What's the difference... all clones..."
"Boss... if I die... can you clone another me to stay by your side... protect her like you protected me?" With that, AA's voice gradually quieted.
