Reboot: Mechanic

Chapter 161 Habitat

"Miserable fate?" Shi Tian was stunned to learn of this news.

"What happened to Hugo and Xavier?" He then asked, seemingly curious about their fate.

Reminiscing their miserable fate, Mary made a slight chuckle as she began recounting what they had received.

"Xavier, that bastard loves to fuck around with his tiny manhood. So I did him a favor and snipped that off in front of the woman he wanted to make love with." She said sinisterly, even making a cutting action with her fingers.

As for Shi Tian, he was quite astonished by the fact that Mary was able to do such a thing to Xavier.

He had recalled Xavier boasting about being a gold-ranked mercenary, and he knew being gold-ranked meant that he wasn't weak.

"How were you able to do that to Xavier? He was gold-ranked at least, so it shouldn't be easy to apprehend him." Shi Tian asked.

"Heh, I have my ways. Gold-ranked? Even if they are higher ranked, they are still nothing but ants." Mary exuded a cold aura, clearly enraged by such a person.

She might no longer feel saddened by Yolanda's death, but that doesn't mean she would forgive those that had led to her death.

"Do you still want to know what happened to him after we got his manhood snipped?" She then asked.

Shi Tian pondered for a few moments before shaking his head.

"No need, I don't want to hear about his pathetic fate." He then said, deciding that it was beneath him to enquire further. All he needed to know was that Xavier could no longer be arrogant and had suffered the consequences of his actions.

"Then do you want to hear about Hugo's fate?" Mary asked.

"Nah, if Xavier received such a fate, then I'm sure Hugo is no different. My heart is at peace knowing that these two bastards had got their punishment."

"I see…"

A few seconds later, Shi Tian changed the topic. "Given your response earlier, I'm sure that we are not trying to fight against a Tenceloras since it's a tough monster. We won't even stand a chance against its metallic skin and tentacles."

Mary nodded her head. "Tenceloras is a difficult monster and even with our current arsenal, it still won't make a dent to its metallic skins. And the

Tenceloras speed isn't fast enough, so it's pointless to test the boosters' suit on it."

"Hmm, then that means we are going to find the Gilaso.'' After some more process of elimination, Shi Tian finally recalled the Gilaso monster.

The Gilaso monsters were technically an evolution of the normal lizard Gila due to mutation, but the ones he encountered were at an advanced level. A variant to be precise, with its speed being insanely fast and adaptive to the environment.

And thinking back to the past, Shi Tian still wondered how he was able to take them down after learning a bit more about the Gilaso species.

Meanwhile, Mary smiled briefly and nodded her head.

"That's right, we are going to find the variants of Gilaso for practice." She then revealed.

Although Mary made it sound simple, Shi Tian found it suspicious that Mary was willing to go so far as to just assist him in getting familiar with the boosters' suit.

And why did he have such thoughts?

The answer was simple and straightforward.

Both of them had the boosters' suit equipped, so Mary could simply tell Shi Tian to attempt to catch up to her, equivalent to playing tag.

There wasn't a need to go so far as to encounter the Gilaso which are dangerous species due to their superior speed and venomous attack.

"What is your real intention, Mary?" Shi Tian decided to not overthink and just asked her directly.

"My intention was to help you get familiarized with the boosters' suit."

"Stop the cap, Mary. I might be ignorant, but I ain't a fool."

"Are you sure about that?" Mary raised an eyebrow, turning to look at him with a doubtful expression.

"The road, keep your eyes on the road." Shi Tian hurriedly said, pointing at the front view.

"It's on autopilot mode," Mary yawned and snickered.

"..."

A moment of silence occurred before Mary started bursting out laughing.

"Ahahah, now tell me you aren't a fool again?" She then teased, clearly enjoying his speechless moment.

"Alright, you got me this time. I forgot about the Iron Sentinel having autopilot mode function." Shi Tian sighed softly and admitted it. They were always driving manually, so he forgot that the Iron Sentinel could also operate by itself.

But who would have thought Mary was able to time her action so perfectly?

Time slowly passed by, and throughout the road, Mary kept laughing and repeating the scenario over and over again. It was as if she couldn't stop reminiscing about Shi Tian making a fool of himself.

"Why are you so childish?" Shi Tian twitched his mouth and said.

"Ahem, being childish is still better than being a fool." Mary coughed and corrected.

"Can you just stop it already?"

"Sure, since we arrived already." Mary suddenly changed her composure and said swiftly.

And again, Shi Tian was speechless at how fast Mary could change. From laughing constantly to suddenly giving a solemn expression.

Though, it was the same for Shi Tian because he also stopped showing a relaxed composure.

Putting on the gas mask, both of them subsequently exited the Iron Sentinel.

"Where was the place you encountered them previously?" Mary then asked, keeping her eyes on the watch that was constantly being transmitted real-time data thanks to Iron Sentinel's function.

"Over there by the east side," Shi Tian glanced around the environment before pointing at a particular area. Given that he had passed through here before, he could subtly remember the terrain.

Following Shi Tian's guideline, Mary made the Iron Sentinel focus more on the east side area, only to be stunned.

"Hmm, it seems like the Gilaso variants had changed their habitat," Mary exclaimed, seeing that there were no red dots anywhere on her watch.
