Chapter 57: "The Factory Under Siege"

Location: Inside Colombo's Truck - Road to the Factory

The air is filled with dust and smoke from the explosions left by the robots, as the truck races at full speed towards the Zeros Factory. Marco and his companions are in a state of tension, their eyes watching the road behind them as the robots continue to pursue them.

Colombo (focusing on driving): "If we want to reach the factory before they activate the advanced robots, we need to get past this security barrier as soon as possible!"

Franco (staring at the screen in front of him): "It looks like things are going to get more complicated than expected."

Salvo: "Yes, and more intense too!"

At that moment, another bomb explodes nearby, causing the truck to sway slightly.

Lucino (pulling himself back into his seat): "Stop making wars in the truck! I haven't eaten yet!"

Rocco: "Sorry, I didn't know the truck had rocket power!"

Luca Ferri (frowning as he checks his weapon): "I won't let any robot stop me from getting there."

Marco (thinking): "If we keep going like this, we'll run out of gas before we get there, we have to change our plans."

Colombo (smiling pessimistically): "Plans? Looks like Zacrota is the one planning, we're just running."

As the truck speeds down the winding mountain road, a massive barrier of heavily armed soldiers appears a few meters away.

Salvo (surprised): "They... do they think they can stop us?"

Marco (defiantly): "I think they'll think twice before they do!"

Colombo slams on the brakes as the truck speeds toward the barrier at a terrifying speed.

Colombo (with a maniacal smile): "Perfect time for a test!"

In a flash, everyone jumps out of the truck at once, leaving the barrier full of soldiers behind.

Luca Ferri (running): "I think we're going to increase our hearts with this!"

But despite the speed, there was another group of soldiers waiting for them.

Franco (laughing bitterly): "What a great day!"

As the robots finally reached the area near the factory, everyone was trying to sneak towards the main entrance of the factory.

Marco: "We have to get to the heart of the factory, where the bombs and advanced robots are... otherwise all our attempts will be in vain."

Colombo (seriously): "If we enter the factory, we have to disable the security system quickly. If we do, we'll be able to stop the robots, but if we fail..."

Luca Ferri: "I won't fail. If you need backup... I can open the way for you."

Everyone sneaked through the dark entrance inside, where the dim lights revealed long corridors and laboratories filled with advanced equipment. The cold wind was blowing from the broken windows, adding an air of mystery and tension to the place.

Salvo (whispering): "Are you sure Zacrota isn't watching us?"

Marco: "He's watching us... but I don't think he thinks we'll get that far."

Franco: "I think we should hurry up, every minute that passes costs us a lot."

But at that moment, everyone was surprised by the appearance of advanced robots, which were more powerful and faster than their predecessors.

Ivan (appearing on the monitor): "Welcome guests, you're a little late, but you're still welcome to Zacrota's stadium."

Colombo: "The situation isn't under control yet... We'll need more time to manipulate the systems."

But suddenly, Luca Ferri fired a shot that destroyed one of the robots, while Marco and Franco were fighting with the other robots.

Marco (hitting the robot): "If this is the solution to increase our budget, we're going to need a lot of weapons!"

Franco (laughing): "These are the weapons of the future! We must buy these robots after the battle is over!"

But things will not be that simple, as Ivan has decided to activate more robots, and now the battle has become more complicated.

Marco: "We cannot continue like this, we must head straight to the control room."

At that moment, a powerful bomb exploded, causing a devastating noise in the factory, and the intermittent lights turned on.

Marco (running towards the control room): "Now... nothing will stop us!"

As they approached the control room, more than 10 advanced robots appeared, and while Columbo and his companions were on their way to a new confrontation, they knew that fate depended on the moment that would determine the shape of the game!
