Interlude 244: Old man, watch carefully, this is how you use a bow and arrow!

Interlude 244: Old man, watch carefully, this is how you use a bow and arrow!

Wei dodged the attack by sidestepping, used his elbow to pry open the corner door, and fled into the depths of the basement.

As if guided by fate, the light bulbs along the way turned on one by one, and the signs of morbid psychiatric evaluation rooms, intensive care observation rooms, and other departments with rotten paint peeling off flashed by in the corner of the eye.

The underground floor of the new Peace Hospital was once used to treat patients with severe mental illness. Even if Qin Wei didn't know this before, these clues were enough to draw a conclusion.

Immediately, a plan to deal with mass-produced mechs took shape in his mind.

"Where is it—the MRI—?"

He kept running wildly, muttering to himself.

Persistence pays off, and the words "MRI Room" came into view at the end of the corridor.

But Wei didn't go in immediately; instead, he turned left into the next corridor.

The plan needed time to take shape, and before that, he had to slow down the speeding advance of several mechs.

The corridor was long and unobstructed. The mechs behind them raised their wrists in unison after scanning for suitable terrain.

"Activate remote firepower mode!"

After a series of unsettling mechanical sounds, the tracking missile launchers simultaneously popped out from the forearms of the three mechs. However, embarrassingly, two of them were empty, and the missile installed in the third launcher was rusty.

Is this thing still useful?

As it turned out, this thing was useless. When the order to fire was given, the limp bullets were like an old man's morning urine, which, after being squeezed for a long time, only dripped onto the feet.

And what about Qin Wei?

He didn't just sit and wait to die.

In fact, upon hearing the words "long-range firepower," he immediately stopped his forward momentum with a spin.

Yes, regardless of whether these missiles were duds or not, continuing to rush forward is not a wise choice.

Bats don't rely on their opponents' mistakes.

Qin Wei's sudden turn caught the three mechs off guard. These machines didn't know how to cancel in an emergency. In their original programming, long-range firepower was supposed to be constantly raised, otherwise not only would the aiming program fail, but the launched warheads would also explode at their feet.

Therefore, when the dense barrage of batarangs came flying at them, these mechs could only try their best to spread their five fingers and use one hand to protect the core of their faces.

But what flew towards them was not only batarangs, but also Qin Wei, who remained clear-headed even while running intensely.

Although he had used up all his projectiles and didn't have any suitable weapons around, don't forget that Oliver had given his retractable composite bow to the other party before he left.

Oliver only wanted to add credibility to the fake Green Arrow; he didn't expect the bow to be of any use. After all, without excellent archery skills, this thing was no different from a fire poker.

But what Qin Wei needs right now is a fire poker.

He drew his bow and arrows from his waist, pressed the telescopic switch in the middle, and held a black and green composite bow in his hand.

Meanwhile, after a long period of stunned silence, the viewers in the live stream finally erupted in cheers, welcoming the arrival of the new Green Arrow app with a barrage of dense comments.

"Here it comes, here it comes! Green Arrow has finally revealed his weapon!"

"Am I right? Archers are destined for melee combat."

"Old man, watch this carefully, this is how you use a bow and arrow!"

The V-Bat swept through the gap of several dozen feet in an instant. When the three mechs blocked the dart and attempted to retaliate, they were surprised to find that their prey had already rushed in front of them.

Wei lowered his center of gravity and slid to avoid the mech's counterattack, while simultaneously raising his longbow behind his head to gather power.

boom! ! ! ! ! !

Don't underestimate the quality of Oliver's equipment, and don't underestimate Will's strength, which is comparable to that of an enhanced human. The composite bow struck the first mech's ankle hard, sending its rusty and fragile parts flying everywhere.

The second mech was hit next, but because the force of the swing was weakened, it only tripped the opponent.

Finally, the third mech was about to strike. At this point, its attack was almost at its limit, so Qin Wei simply let go, slapped the ground with both hands to get up, and simultaneously drew arrows from the quiver on his back.

He gripped the arrow tip tightly and thrust it towards the core of the opponent's face.

The mech that had finally deactivated its long-range firepower mode was no pushover; it extended a rusty blade from its elbow and thrust it toward Qin Wei.

But Qin Wei, whose killing intent had already been set in, had no intention of dodging. He knew that this might be the best opportunity to weaken the opponent's strength. The first two mechs had gradually recovered from the attack, and he only had one chance.

As the blade pierced the shoulder, the arrow in his hand also pierced the core of the mech.

Qin Wei, having landed a successful blow, did not linger. His current physical condition was not optimistic, and even in a one-on-one fight with the mech soldier, he would find it difficult to gain the upper hand.

In a split second, he assessed the situation on the field, released the arrow in his hand, dodged the sneak attack of another mech, and turned to flee towards the MRI room.

"Target escape detected. Unit damaged. Emergency repair protocol activated. Replaceable parts detected nearby. Protocol in effect!"

The first mech with its ankle shattered had a red glint in its eyes as it locked its gaze on its comrade lying against the wall, its core blasted open.

It crawled toward its companion on all fours, and with a rusty creak, twisted off its companion's head, then stuck its own head in.

The emergency repair procedures for mass-produced mechs allow for the replacement of core chips, which is why Alfred was able to blow Mech Bruce's head off without hesitation.

After loosening their joints and getting their bodies fully adjusted, the two mechs continued their pursuit.

Waiting for their companions to grow stronger, so as not to be defeated one by one—this line of logic code was personally written by Lex Luthor for the mechs.

This might not be a problem under normal circumstances, but in the present situation, it gives the bats time to prepare and catch their breath.

Taking advantage of this lull, Qin Wei had already sneaked back into the MRI room and turned on the machine.

Of course, he had removed all the metal parts from his body before starting the machine.

The injured Qin Wei leaned against the corner, panting, and quietly listened to the footsteps that were gradually getting louder outside the corridor.

boom!

The gate was forcibly opened, and two tall mechs strode menacingly toward Qin Wei.

"Target located. Determined to be temporarily harmless. Backup expulsion procedures have been initiated!"

Although they said they would use a backup expulsion procedure, the two mechs still drew their blades without hesitation, clearly indicating that their logic code had been modified.

To protect the secrets of the abandoned hospital's lower levels, the Star City Court faction, represented by Ominic, never intended to leave any survivors.

"Everyone in the live stream!"

Now Qin Wei finally has another chance to greet the audience.

He removed the live stream camera, pointed his blood-stained face at the lens, and grinned smugly, as if his scheme had succeeded.

"Please remember, everyone, before you have an MRI, you must tell your doctor if you have any metal stents in your body and that you must have all metal devices removed, otherwise you will end up like them."

Qin Wei turned the camera around, bringing the two mechs struggling to stay afloat under the strong magnetic attraction into the frame.

"Expel them—expel them!"

The mech pilots continued to mutter incantations, but the MRI machine, running at full speed, continued to pull their bodies along like a black hole.

Boom!

With two muffled thuds, the mech soldier's body was finally sucked into the entrance, his limbs twisted off, and he was pressed tightly against the inner wall, completely unable to resist.

"All done! Now, it's time to show you the final truth."

Qin Wei tucked the camera back into his chest and, supporting his battered body, stood up again.
