Chapter 1314: I’m afraid he will beat me

Translator: _Min_ Editor: Rainystars

The sofa in the study of Xin Embassy in Ecuador was now occupied by a girl about twelve or thirteen years old. Just like an Internet Addict, she had a Phantom Helmet on as she laid there motionlessly.

Since she arrived at the embassy more than a week ago, she claimed her territory in the study as her own.

Footsteps could be heard coming downstairs.

When Lilith heard the movement downstairs, she moved slightly, twisted her neck, and turned to the door.

Unlike ordinary people, she still retained her senses to the outside world when she was connected to the Phantom Helmet.

When she saw Zhu Yu and the others enter the study, Lilith’s expression suddenly froze. It was as if she had guessed why they came.

Zhu Yu walked next to the sofa and looked at the little girl in front of her. It was difficult for her to draw the connection between a powerful individual who “killed four supernatural beings on her own plus a squad of SEALs” with her.

She just looked like a NEET?

Zhu Yu let out a sigh, kneeled down, and gently persuaded Lilith.

“I’m here to take you home… When this mission is over, will you come home with me?”

Lilith shook her head, and a scared expression appeared on her face.

Although humans were no different from insects to the artifical intelligence, there was an exception; the man named Jiang Chen.

As the only individual who stood out from many samples, Jiang Chen’s quality as a “sample” was undoubtedly the best among the many “samples” she had seen. Although his combat power and IQ were not necessarily the best among the people she encountered, he was the “most interesting” for her.

After they met again at Line 0, she was surprised by Jiang Chen’s growth, but there was a hint of fear that she started to feel.

Would artificial intelligence feel scared?

Intermediate artificial intelligence may not, but advanced artificial intelligence certainly would.

“If there is any difficulty, you can tell me, I will try to help you solve it,” Zhu Yu sighed as she watched Lilith who refused to get up from the sofa, then she patiently explained, “Jiang Chen is worried about you, so he hopes you will go back soon.”

“Then can you make him not be upset?” Lilith immediately asked, “I’m afraid he will beat me.”

“Mr. Jiang is not that kind of person,” The female agent behind Zhu Yu immediately retorted.

Like most Ghost Agents, they deeply respected, or even longed for the man who took them away from hunger and war and gave them a second life…

“You are too naïve.” Lilith eyed the woman, and then let out a sigh that was uncharacteristic for her age, and said slowly, “You don’t know how much that man is—”

“Ahem,” Zhu Yu felt that she had to interrupt her, and coughed hard, “Miss Lilith, I will report every word you say to Jiang Chen. I can guarantee that he did not get mad because of the incident in Bogota. However, I can’t guarantee his attitude won’t change if you continue on this silly topic.”

Obviously, the last sentence worked.

Lilith closed her mouth immediately.

When she saw Zhu Yu’s uncompromising expression, she knew that she couldn’t stay here anymore, so she had to make a reluctant compromise.

“Well, I can go back, but I have a request.”

Zhu Yu motioned her to continue with her eyes.

Lilith slowly crawled up from the sofa, and then looked at the two at the door.

“You are going to Colombia for a mission? Take me with you.”

“Little girl, we are not going to travel,” The female agent behind Zhu Yu teased.

“I know.”

Lilith nodded blankly and raised her right hand.

In the horrified expression of the two, two silver metal balls flew out from her cuffs. Under the interference of the special force field, they rose from her palms and flew up and down, separated then condensed. Gradually, the flying speed of the metal ball became faster and faster, and it formed a flashing silver ring above her palm.

A touch of splendor appeared in Zhu Yu’s eyes.

“You also have superpowers?”

Although Zhu Yu didn’t know about her special ability, but since Lilith was able to defeat the senior Kurofune members’ trump cards, then it must be through the help of this silver metal sphere.

“Well, it’s not wrong to interpret it this way,” Lilith said with her emotionless state after she recalled the balls into her sleeves. “It’s very troublesome to explain specifically. In short, I can easily take care of a battalion. What do you think?”

Advanced artificial intelligence and digitalized humans, all of which were considered the top secrets of Celestial Trade. Lilith of course would not disclose these secrets. As long as they believed her capability, the identity of someone possessing superpowers seemed more convenient.

As for why she decided to follow Zhu Yu and the others on the mission, instead of waiting for them to come back to the embassy…

Okay, Lilith was still a little worried that Jiang Chen is angry with her, so she thought it was an opportunity to make up for her mistake.

Since she had nothing to do anyway.

…

After Zhu Yu requested permissions from Jiang Chen, she finally agreed to Lilith’s request.

Just as the group set off from the embassy and took a vehicle to the border between Colombia and Ecuador, another major incident occurred on the front line of the Colombian government army and FARC.

That morning, the FARC guerrillas deployed north of the Andes suddenly launched a fierce offensive attack against the Cucuta area.

Hundreds of mortars bombarded the city of Cucuta, where government troops were stationed. The FARC, which previously abided by international law, completely disregarded humanitarianism and international conventions.

Thousands of FARC soldiers, like evil wolves, pounced toward the government forces under the cover of shelling. Smoke filled every corner of the city, and the gunfire never stopped for a second from the moment it began.

The FARC’s attack lasted for an entire day.

The attack that started at five o’clock in the morning did not subside until the next morning.

In just one day, both sides left thousands of corpses. There was no way to obtain the number of civilians killed in this battle.

FARC surrounded the Colombian government troops stationed near the airport. Under the frenzied attack that disregarded casualty figures, victory may only be a matter of time.

However, Timoshenko was not pleased with the results of this battle. He ordered the officers responsible for besieging the city of Cucuta to fully control the Cucuta region and the border between Colombia and Venezuela within twelve hours.

Obviously, the landing of UA soldiers in Colombia stung his sensitive nerves, otherwise, he would not order this irresponsible or even manic battle.

In order to get those anti-aircraft missiles and anti-aircraft artilleries as soon as possible, he no longer cared about civilian casualties and his international image. If these anti-aircraft missiles were not deployed in the rainforests of the Andes as soon as possible, once the airstrikes began, it would be his real hell.
