Chapter 5

With Huang Quan’s strength, he was naturally not afraid of ordinary steel beasts. He fought as many as they came and killed them with a single punch.

He was only afraid that there would be too many steel beasts but no one around him who could protect his friend’s life.

“Then let’s go find Yang Feng now. He’s very smart. If he isn’t at his residence, he must have run toward the police station.”

Lin Qing asked, “What if he’s not at the police station?”

“Then we’ll search again. In short, we’ll do our best.”

Lin Qing admired Huang Quan’s loyalty to spend so much effort just for a friend. “You can’t look for him like this. Although the city isn’t big, there are hundreds of thousands of people. And he won’t be able to recognize you since you look like this. He’ll miss you even if he happens to see you from afar.”

“Then what should we do?”

“Instead of searching all over the city, why don’t we get him to find us? Does he know your company’s logo?”

“He even signed a contract yesterday, so he definitely knows!”

“Then that’s easy. Follow me.”

After finding the largest building in Ping’an City, Lin Qing took away the flagpole by the roadside and collected a few white bedsheets. He then asked Huang Quan to paint his company logo and hang it on the flagpole.

“That’s a good idea. Should I leave it by the roadside?”

“Who can see it if it’s by the roadside?” Lin Qing rolled his eyes at him and looked up at the tall building. “If you want to put it somewhere, you should put it in a conspicuous place.”

“What do you mean?”

“Send me up.”

Huang Quan understood and was even more shocked. Lin Qing actually wanted to go to the roof and stick the flagpole there.

This building had more than ten floors, and it was almost fifty meters tall. With their bodies, they definitely couldn’t get on the elevator. So the only way was to climb up.

His body weighed hundreds of tons, and the building would collapse if he climbed it, so Lin Qing was the only one who could do it.

Lin Qing held the flagpole with one hand, retreated dozens of meters, and then shouted, “Just turn around so that your back is facing the wall. Stand firm.”

“Alright, go ahead. I can handle it.”

“I’m coming!”

The ground rumbled as the sprinting Lin Qing created a huge pit with every step he took.

The distance of tens of meters only took a few steps. He arrived in an instant.

Boom!

He stepped on Huang Quan’s shoulder, and Huang Quan’s 20-meter tall body sank a few meters.

The two of them were 35 meters tall in total, so it wasn’t difficult for Lin Qing to jump more than 10 meters and touch the roof with his hands.

In less than two seconds, he could see the entire city.

More than half of his body was above the roof. He took the flagpole and stabbed it downward, piercing through the edge of the roof and sticking it in firmly.

Then his body fell!

What did it mean for a truck that weighed several dozen tons to fall from a height of 50 meters? Huang Quan wasn’t good at math, but he could still guess the result. He immediately dodged to the side.

“F*ck! How disloyal!”

Lin Qing turned his body in the air. When he crashed on the ground, he twisted his body to disperse the impact.

The moment he landed, the ground quaked, and a large area collapsed with him at the center. Smoke and dust rose up, cracks spread out for over a hundred meters, and the utensils in nearby restaurants bounced up half a meter high.

“Cough, cough, cough!”

Lin Qing walked out of the deep pit with a face full of dust and blue sparks flying all over his body.

After falling from such a height, it was impossible to say that nothing happened. However, this small injury wasn’t a big problem for him.

“Are you alright?” Huang Quan ran over from the side.

“Try it next time, bastard. Why didn’t I stab you from behind with the flagpole earlier.”

Huang Quan cupped his fists and said embarrassedly, “I’m sorry. You’re just too freaking tall. I’ll treat you to a drink later.”

Lin Qing pointed at Huang Quan’s steel body. “Do you think we can still drink now?”

“Yeah, we can’t. Why don’t I treat you to gasoline?” Huang Quan suddenly had an idea. “At the end of the day, we Motorbots are still vehicles, so our energy supplement should be gasoline.”

Lin Qing admired his imagination. But since they were already Motorbots, why was he still thinking like a human? What was he thinking when he wanted to drink gasoline?

Regardless of whether it was Motorbots or steel beasts, crystals were their hearts that supported the activity of their limbs. There was no need to drink gasoline, as their only supplement was eating crystals.

“Sure, I remember that there’s a gas station ahead. Let’s go and drink a few buckets. Yang Feng probably won’t be able to come for a while anyway. When we finish drinking gasoline, he’ll be here.”

Huang Quan nodded thoughtfully. “I have a big body. After a few battles, I’m actually a little hungry.”

Lin Qing held back his laughter.

In his previous life, there seemed to be someone who was so hungry that he couldn’t help but eat a steel beast. He swallowed it along with its crystal, leaving his mouth full of sparks.

However, he realized that he was no longer hungry.

That was how everyone survived during that time. They only understood when they saw a steel beast take out the crystal of a Motorbot and swallow it.

Twenty minutes later…

“Hey, brother. Are you going to drink some gas?”

“I’m not thirsty. You go ahead and drink.”

“This gas is a little off. It feels like it’s been watered down.”

“That’s normal.”

“That’s not right. Why do I still feel hungry? My stomach is rumbling when I walk. Could this be fake gas? How do I get it out?”

“You probably haven’t digested it yet. Let’s find a few steel beasts to practice our skills while you digest it.”

…

“F*ck! That gas was poisonous! F*cking evil boss.”

Huang Quan was sitting on the ground weakly at a chicken farm in Ping’an City. There were dozens of dead black steel-winged chickens around him, each about a meter tall.

At this moment, he felt his strength decreasing and his body becoming heavier.

Then a huge rooster flew over and aimed its sharp beak at his chest.

Crack!

A large hand descended from the sky and grabbed the rooster. Its five fingers exerted some force, and the sound of machinery cracking rang out.

Lin Qing smiled as he held the rooster. “Do you want to eat chicken heart hotpot later?”

“Aren’t you afraid of your mouth breaking?” Huang Quan was speechless.

“Forget it if you don’t want to eat. Don’t say that I didn’t ask you.”

Looking at Lin Qing collecting the dead chickens, Huang Quan asked, “Where did you go? Why are you only here now?”

“I went to the pet shop!”

“Haven’t I already swept through that area?”

“Yeah. But how else can I eat dog meat hotpot?”

“Those things are all steel. Can they really be eaten?”

Lin Qing tore off a chicken drumstick and threw it to Huang Quan. “Definitely. Why don’t you try it?”

“This thing can be eaten? Don’t scare me.”

Huang Quan picked up the half-meter-long drumstick and smashed it against a stone. The stone shattered. Then he bit into the drumstick half-heartedly, and his teeth almost broke.

It was steel!

But when he looked at Lin Qing, he realized that he was eating very well.

“That’s not right. What are you eating?”

He realized that Lin Qing was eating something different from him.

“I’m eating the chicken heart.” Then Lin Qing quickly swallowed a few more crystals. His cheeks were stuffed full like a squirrel.

Picking up a chicken, Huang Quan took out the ‘chicken heart’ and tried to eat one.

A few seconds later…

“F*ck you, Lin Qing! I’ll kill you!”

“Brother, let’s talk nicely. Don’t hit me.”

“You big liar! You lied to me and even tricked me into drinking gasoline. No wonder I feel that you’ve grown taller and look much more handsome. Moreover, you aren’t hungry either.”

In the morning, Lin Qing was only 15 meters tall. He looked like a country bumpkin with a few big wheels on his body.

Now that Huang Quan took a closer look, Lin Qing was over 16 meters tall with bright colors and a sturdy body. Furthermore, most of the car elements had disappeared from his body, making him look like a mecha from a movie.

After eating the ‘chicken heart’, Huang Quan felt warm, and his hunger lessened a little.

Needless to say, this was the food of the Motorbots, not some rubbish gasoline.

Furthermore, Lin Qing knew about this secret but didn’t tell him. Lin Qing even asked him to do some post-meal activities and find steel beasts for practice.

After that, Huang Quan worked himself to death while this bastard ate a full meal behind him.

“Cough, cough. It’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I called you over when I was eating, but now you’re blaming me because you didn’t eat?”

“You gave me a few pieces of f*cking steel. How am I supposed to eat them?! Why didn’t you say that the hearts could be eaten?”

“Because you didn’t ask!”
