Chapter 149 - Li Ling Is Amazing At This

Zhihao chuckled as he raised his hands up in a surrendering manner and spoke, "Okay, Captain! Lead me to victory." He smirked. 

Li Ling smiled as he stood up and looked at Zhou Xinyi, "You can unblock the street now." 

"Hmm..." Wang GuiYing looked at Zhou Xinyi who was completely stuck and continued, "I don't think he can."

Li Ling shook his head as he crouched down and there was suddenly bright blue light coming from under his feet as he held onto Zhihao and warned, "Hold on tight." 

Even without his warning, Zhihao was already holding on tightly to him. 

In the next second, Li Ling jumped up and his shoes boosted his speed and distance.. 

For a second there, Zhihao wondered if this suit was like Iron man's costume cause it sure looked like one. 

The buildings that covered the alley were high and even with the help of the big boost the shoe had given them, Li Ling was still unable to jump all the way on top of the building in a single leap. When their speed decreased, Li Ling grabbed onto the side of the building and made a small dent in the building that he used to clutch and push down and climbed all the way to the top. 

Once they were standing on top of the building, Zhihao couldn't help but comment, "Impressive." 

"I got used to this suit," Li Ling responded as he looked down at the street where Wang GuiYing was still standing as he looked up to them and Zhou XinYi was still stuck between the two building walls. 

"Just tell him to break the wall!" Li Ling yelled in order for his voice to reach all the way down to Wang GuiYing. 

BBtrash nodded as a response and climbed on top of Hulk0_0 and sat on his shoulder before tapping his head twice and when Zhou Xinyi got the signal, he expanded his two arms and broke the building walls that had trapped him. 

"Can you jump all the way up there?" Wang GuiYing asked and Zhou Xinyi shook his head. 

He was too heavy and still not used to this robotic body so it was only natural that he won't be able to jump that high. 

"You guys go ahead! We'll follow!" Wang GuiYing shouted and Li Ling nodded. 

Zhihao had never done rooftop parkour and he was sure that Li Ling had never done it as well, but at this moment, Zhihao had the gut feeling that he was going to witness something amazing and his expectations weren't disappointed in the least. 

Li Ling glanced around and calculated the distance between each building and how much speed he'd need to jump over them. He also calculated the time it would take for them to reach their destination and when he had calculated everything, he turned something on and the structure of his robotic hands changed into becoming two big chunks of circular-shaped objects. 

"Explosion," Zhihao commented and at the same time, Li Ling put his hands behind and positioned himself in a certain pose before yelling something that Zhihao couldn't understand. 

[Wait!] 

Alvi yelled out but it was rather pointless since Li Ling didn't listen to her.

His hands suddenly heated up and with a blast, they were thrown forward. 

Zhihao felt his heart beat insanely as the wind hit his face and Alvi who had somehow managed to clutch on tightly to Li Ling had her half body flying as she used all her strength to not let go of Li Ling's belt. 

If someone else were to see this, they would certainly be mistaken that Alvi was an extension of his belt. 

Li Ling's hand changed again and the blasting thing went away and in its place came five fingers that were positioned in front to help break the velocity at which they fell onto the other rooftop. 

Just as they landed, the rooftop of the other building had a rather big dent as Li Ling rolled once and continued to run. 

Zhihao was amazed at how natural this all felt. It was as if Li Ling was a professional stunt man or something and Zhihao wasn't worried about anything since this man was so skilled. 

Zhihao looked ahead at the city that was clearly visible from the top. The isolated city looked beautiful and a bit creepy at the same time. 

Li Ling was running and jumping fast. In just a few minutes, they were already on top of the blue dot that they were going after. 

Li Ling directly jumped down from the building and although Zhihao knew this was just a game and he was absolutely safe, he still panicked a bit at the speed at which they fell down. 

Li Ling landed on the ground and the ground cracked. 

Zhihao's heart almost had a heart attack. He tried to joke around and laugh to calm himself down as he commented, "You remind me of Iron man." 

Li Ling smiled as he stood up straight and spoke, "I always wanted to be as cool as him." 

"You're much cooler than him." 

Li Ling chuckled, "That's too much. I feel a bit offended as his fan." 

Zhihao smiled but said nothing. 

[Don't drag Iron man into this. He's already dead.] 

[Let him rest in peace.] 

"..." For some unknown reason Zhihao had the urge to say sorry but he fought against the urge and remained silent. 

Li Ling zoomed in on the map and the area shown on the map was now more expanded and clear for them to see. 

Li Ling, "The underground parking lot." 

The first Ribot they were after was located inside the building, in the underground parking lot. 

Zhihao climbed down from Li Ling's shoulder and so did Alvi. The two of them walked ahead and headed inside only to be pulled back by Li Ling, who reminded Zhihao once again, "I'm leading." 

"Oops~" Zhihao chuckled, "Old habits die hard." 

Li Ling shook his head as he made his way to the front and started leading them. 

This building was an office building and just like the rest of the buildings in the city, it was completely empty with only signs of humans and no actual human in sight. 

Li Ling was moving calmly but his whole body and mind were alert. He didn't forget to glance around and Zhihao also kept a lookout to see if there was anything that would try to harm them.

[There are no Ribix around here but... There is some incoming trouble.] 

"How long?" Li Ling questioned. 

[Four minutes.]

"That's enough for us to collect what we came here for." 

Zhihao nodded as he heard that. Four minutes was surprisingly long enough for them to get the job done, however, that was if they had managed to find the Ribot they were looking for. 

They could only pray that the Ribot wasn't hidden and it seemed that God had heard their prayers. 

In the middle of the parking lot was a bunch of cars that were piled on top of a Ribot as if the cars had been either thrown at the Ribot or the Ribot had gathered the cars around itself to protect or hide itself from something. 

If one were to not look closely enough, they would have surely not noticed the Ribot but for Li Ling and Zhihao who were alert and tried to scan through every nook and cranny, this Ribot was hard not to notice. 

Li Ling gestured for Zhihao to stay behind as he suggested, "Wait here. Let me." 

Zhihao listened to the man and stayed on the spot along with Alvi. 

Li Ling carefully stepped towards the Ribot and called out to it a few times to see if the Ribot would respond or not. When he got no movement from the Ribot, he was sure that the Ribot was shut down. 

He lifted the cars off and threw them away. There were only four cars covering the Ribot and when they were all removed, the destructed Ribot was visible. 

Zhihao and Alvi came over and curiously looked at the Ribot that didn't look too good. 

"Is it still working?" Zhihao asked. 

Li Ling kneeled down and took off his helmet as his hands reached down to open the Ribot's chest and inside the chest were a few buttons, out of which Li Ling turned the red one up. 

As soon as the button was turned up, the Ribot's hand twitched and Li Ling closed the chest cover again as he took a few steps back and pulled Zhihao along with him. 

There was light inside the Ribots head as it started working once again. It folded its leg and stood up in an instant before looking around and scanning its surrounding in confusion. 

Zhihao stood in his place as he looked at the piece of amazing machinery. 

The Ribot scanned them as well and it seemed that it immediately recognized one of them as it kneeled down and tried to say something along the lines of 'Captain' however, its voice box was broken and whatever it was trying to say was hardly audible. 

Zhihao glanced at the Ribot and then at Alvi as he mocked, "Looks like this thing is more loyal than you."
