Creepy Pharmacist: All my patients are scary!
Chapter 719: How About We Make a Run for It?Little One bared her teeth. Even though she still hadn't figured out what exactly was going on here, if these bastards dared to lay a finger on her doctor brother, then they couldn't be allowed to do that!
Eat them all!
Lynn's eyes flickered.
He knew that even with the Colossus's Brain joining them now, their overall strength was still far inferior to those three factions.
There are no permanent allies, only eternal interests.
And now that the Colossus's Brain had just fallen and disintegrated, bearing the curse of hell, she was already extremely weak. Sir Aiwen had likely reached his limit as well. If they continued, the only consequence would be the acceleration of memory erasure, leading to complete madness.
And Little One...
She was still just a child!
If a fight really broke out, their side would absolutely gain nothing good.
"Big Brother Aiwen, how about we make a run for it? I think the situation isn't looking too good here."
Sir Aiwen's eyes shifted slightly as he transmitted back, his expression unchanged:
"Run where?"
Lynn cast a glance and transmitted quietly:
"Back to our headquarters in Nightfall City. If they dare to chase, let the Matriarch deal with them. By then, it'll be four against three. If a real fight breaks out, our chances of winning would skyrocket. What do you think?"
Sir Aiwen still maintained his expressionless demeanor as he transmitted:
"That's a good idea, but there's one problem."
"What?"
"Where is Nightfall City?"
"...'"
No doubt about it. Lynn knew that Sir Aiwen had truly reached his limit this time.
A team of the weak, the young, and the sick—there was simply no way to fight!
Lynn cast another glance and conspired: "Then listen to me. I'll notify the Colossus's Brain. As soon as I give the signal, we bolt!"
"Fine. I'll follow your lead."
Sir Aiwen was very straightforward about this matter.
Because their objectives had actually already been achieved. His first goal was to protect Lynn, and his second was to take in the Colossus's Brain. Now that both were done, there was absolutely no need to stay here and fight to the death with them.
Fortunately, he still vaguely remembered this mission.
Without any hesitation, Lynn turned his head slightly, glancing up at the silver-haired girl.
Da...dammit!
This damn angle really made it way too easy to see some inappropriate things!
But Lynn quickly restrained himself from indulging his eyes any further, transmitting gravely:
"Brain, I think we should run. There's no point in fighting to the death here—the loss outweighs the gain!"
The silver-haired girl frowned slightly, clearly displeased with that address, but she still stared straight ahead. After a long silence, Lynn finally heard her transmission.
"I have never retreated on the battlefield."
Her voice was calm and firm, just like her personality.
Lynn glanced around and transmitted: "I know that. You're a powerful warrior. You even dared to charge into the border of hell—what wouldn't you dare to do? But as the saying goes, a wise man knows when to retreat. What you need most right now is rest, not a battle. Once you've stabilized your strength and your curse, I'll take you to tear through them. What do you think?"
The silver-haired girl was silent.
Crack, crack, crack—
The hand gripping Lynn's made a distinct sound of his finger bones grinding back and forth.
It clearly showed her attitude at this moment.
Lynn was exasperated. He absolutely did not like a girl whose grip strength was even greater than his own.
He rubbed his forehead and finally transmitted:
"Just do it for me. I still have your heart growing inside my body right now. If a fight really breaks out, I'll definitely be the first to die. You don't want your Queen to fall into the hands of those Roots, do you? You don't want your Queen to suffer cruel humiliation and torment, do you?"
The grinding force on his finger bones stopped.
Lynn finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat off his forehead, calmly put on his monocle, adjusted it, and tested the waters:
"Agreed?"
Crack—
A crisp sound came from his finger bones.
Sss!
Lynn knew that this time, his finger bone was completely fractured.
But this also meant that even though the Colossus's Brain was reluctant, she had accepted his idea. It was just that her way of expressing herself might be a little... unique.
Now only Little One was left!
"Little One! When I say run, you follow the doctor brother and run! Got it?"
"Ugh! (✪ω✪) Got it!"
"..."
She didn't ask any questions. She was very obedient.
Clearly, even at this point, Little One probably still didn't understand the situation at all.
Lynn's expression turned serious. His gaze darted toward the direction of the three Roots, sensing the increasingly heavy hostility and killing intent around them. He didn't hesitate for even a second.
And at that very instant.
Lynn let out a fierce shout:
"Run!"
Boom—
Across the vast wasteland, the four figures shot off almost simultaneously in the direction Lynn had indicated.
Even in the air, a series of massive sonic booms rang out as they broke the sound barrier. In the blink of an eye, they were nothing more than four silhouettes, completely vanishing from sight.
And barely visible high in the sky was one silhouette's gleaming middle finger, fluttering in the wind as it disappeared.
The breeze blew softly.
At the original spot.
The three Roots stood frozen stiff.
"..."
The silence was as still as death.
And then, in the next moment, the God of All Machines finally snapped. It roared in fury to the heavens, letting out a deafening mechanical dragon's cry.
Clearly, even they hadn't expected that in this state of war, on the verge of erupting at any moment, an honorable Root would disregard all face and dignity and so brazenly turn tail and run!
This was simply too much!
There was no doubt about it!
This was absolutely not a decision that Cyber or the Colossus would ever make. This was entirely the shameless, chaotic behavior of that one human with no face whatsoever!
This was basically treating them like monkeys!
"Too much! After them!"
A furious roar tore across the sky.
Rumble—
The rift in the sky sealed shut. Except for the Desire Mother Tree, who had descended in her true form, they were all acting through manifestations or barely manifested projections. If they really let these shameless bastards escape now, finding them again would be nearly impossible!
Crack—
A spatial rupture.
In less than ten seconds of their mad dash, the space behind them exploded. The God of All Machines' furious steel claw tore through the void, reaching out to rend them apart.
In the raging wind, the silver-haired girl spun around, her gaze icy cold.
Boom—
From her petite frame erupted unimaginably terrifying power. As her silver hair whipped wildly, she threw a punch that collided heavily with the sky-covering claw.
The terrible energy from the explosion sent the entire ground flying dozens of meters into the air.
One strike, then retreat.
Without any hesitation, she used the immense impact force. Her toe tapped the ground, and as she lifted her head, she grabbed Lynn's hand and leaped once more, shooting toward the distant sky.
"Colossus!! You won't escape my grasp this time!"
