Chapter 323
Soon, the only people left alive in the basement, apart from Chen Ye and Nami, were Amy and her father.
Seeing Nami covered in blood, Chen Ye frowned:
"Nami, clean yourself up a bit!"
Hearing this, Nami's surface rippled, and all the blood dripped off her onto the ground.
Her appearance returned to pristine, as if she were a goddess!
Chen Ye nodded in satisfaction, "Remember, always stay clean from now on."
"Yes, Master."
Only then did Chen Ye turn his gaze to Tom and his daughter.
Noticing Chen Ye's look, Tom quickly stepped in front of his daughter.
"What the hell are you?"
"Hey! Watch your language, sir!"
Chen Ye replied calmly, "I'm human. She's a robot, yes, but she follows my orders and never causes trouble. It was your friends who insulted her first."
Tom was silent for a moment, then asked, "What do you want here?"
"Just to borrow some clothes," Chen Ye shrugged. "I told your daughter that already."
"Really, just for clothes?" Tom seemed a bit incredulous.
"Of course, and preferably clean clothes!"
…
A few minutes later.
Chen Ye was now dressed in a clean set of clothes.
A classic leather jacket on top and fitted jeans on the bottom, perfectly showcasing his model-like physique and fitting him well.
Chen Ye nodded in satisfaction, "Great, thank you for the clothes... Nami, let's go."
"Wait!"
Amy bravely stepped forward, "Sir, you're so powerful. Could you take us with you?"
"Amy!"
Tom immediately pulled his daughter back.
These two gave Tom a dangerous feeling, and he didn't want to get too close to them.
Chen Ye gave the girl a gentle smile, then decisively said, "No!"
Just as he finished speaking.
A whistling sound suddenly came from outside:
"Whoosh!"
With his experience, Tom's face instantly changed, and he threw himself over his daughter.
"Get down!!"
The next moment.
A missile broke through the basement's ventilation glass and fell inside.
Without thinking, Chen Ye immediately used his telekinesis to form a protective shield around himself and the father-daughter pair.
With his Armament Haki, he didn't actually need the telekinetic shield for protection.
But he had just gotten a set of clean clothes and didn't want them to be ruined so soon.
"Boom!"
The explosion followed.
A massive shockwave swept through the entire basement, flames soaring high.
However, Chen Ye's telekinesis was now strong enough; the protective shield he formed was enough to withstand this level of shockwave.
So, Chen Ye and Tom's daughter remained unharmed.
Only Nami had a rougher time; her body disintegrated in the shockwave and flames, turning into a puddle of liquid.
Luckily, her body was made of liquid memory metal, capable of automatically regenerating.
Once the flames subsided, Nami reassembled herself and returned to her original form.
"Amy, are you alright?"
As a father, Tom immediately checked on his daughter.
"I'm fine, Dad."
Tom nodded, then looked at Chen Ye and said gravely, "The gunfire just now must have attracted the Terminator robots."
"Oh?"
Chen Ye smiled, "Leave them to me!"
His mission was to hunt Terminator robots, and he had traveled to 2029 specifically for this purpose!
Now that the Terminators had come to him, Chen Ye had no reason to let them go.
Then.
Chen Ye quickly climbed out of the basement and onto the street. Sure enough, he saw two Terminators descending from an aircraft.
Without hesitation, Thor's Hammer appeared in Chen Ye's hand.
Then, Chen Ye rushed forward and swung Thor's Hammer like a sledgehammer, smashing it with great force!
"Bang! Bang!"
In less than a few minutes, under the shocked gaze of Tom and his daughter, the aircraft and the two Terminator robots were reduced to a heap of scrap metal!
"You have killed Terminator T-800, current mission progress: 5/2!"
"You have killed Terminator T-800, current mission progress: 6/2!"
Only two Terminators? That was a bit disappointing for Chen Ye.
But he didn't mind.
He had Nami with him, and Nami should know where the main base of the Terminators was.
"Nami, let's go. Take me to find more Terminator robots."
Hearing this, Tom quickly spoke up, "Wait, sir."
"What is it?" Chen Ye asked with a frown.
Tom swallowed nervously and said with respect, "Sir, I was wondering if you're in need of food?"
Chen Ye was slightly taken aback.
He then remembered that this was a post-apocalyptic world where food was extremely scarce.
Unlike in peaceful times, where you could buy food whenever you had money.
Given Chen Ye's current physical condition, he could go several days without eating or drinking, but not indefinitely.
"Do you have food?" Chen Ye asked.
"I don't!" Tom said loudly, "But I know where there is! I only hope that, for guiding you there, you could spare us some food."
So that was his plan.
Chen Ye asked, "How much food are we talking about? And is it dangerous?"
"It used to be a food storage base, with enough food to last a lifetime. But… those damn Terminators have set traps there. Anyone who wants the food must first deal with the Terminators!"
"Oh?"
Chen Ye's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "How many Terminators are there?"
"No one knows the exact number, but there are many. Only someone as powerful as you could get to the food."
"Alright, I agree. As long as you lead the way, I'll give you a share of the food."
"Sir, thank you for your generosity!"
"Don't be happy just yet!"
Chen Ye warned, "If I find out you're lying, you'll die even worse than your friends!"
Tom hurriedly said, "Rest assured, I'm not deceiving you!"
…
That night.
Under Tom's guidance, Chen Ye arrived at the foot of a mountain.
"Sir, look over there, that cave entrance is the way into the food storage base."
Following Tom's direction, Chen Ye looked and saw a large cave in the distance, with a heavy iron door inside.
Although Chen Ye was strong, he wasn't arrogant enough to ignore all caution.
His previous experience in the *Transformers* mission, where he was nearly killed by several B-level reincarnators, had taught him a profound lesson and made him more cautious.
To play it safe, Chen Ye decided to send Nami in first to scout the situation!
