Empty, deep, silent, and dark—these are perhaps the environments that humanity dislikes the most. When combined, along with a faint sound of clinking that seems to come from nowhere, it creates an atmosphere straight out of a horror film.
At this moment, the Underground Plaza is such a place, devoid of any light source, with air barely circulating, exuding the aura of an ancient tomb.
However, Lin Yuan does not spend much time in fear over this; for him, it makes no difference whether there is light or not. His Auditory Radar can clearly pinpoint every corner, and he can synthesize light spectrum data stored in his Intellect into his Auditory Radar. By adding a hint of sunlight to the mix, the eerie feeling dissipates instantly.
Moreover, he is quite busy at the moment. He is assembling a flying device that does not belong to any specific model and theoretically resembles nothing in particular. He has always preferred to be prepared, and this time is no exception.
Once the final part is secured, the flying device is successfully assembled. Based on the engine's output parameters, it can be estimated that it should reach a speed of five hundred kilometers per hour. Although this is not much different from his Second Form's speed, at least it can fly—especially advantageous when crossing the Ocean.
In addition to this, Lin Yuan has also disassembled many layers of Alloy Armor from two hovering armors and installed them onto the flying device all at once, adding three layers in total. This way, even if it were to be attacked by Firestone High-Explosive Armor-Piercing Rounds, it wouldn't collapse immediately.
After completing everything, Lin Yuan promptly injected 0 units of Standard Energy into the flying device he named Old Cat No. 1. After starting the engine and confirming everything was functioning well, he paused again to remove a simple yet crucial part from Old Cat No. 1. After all, caution is key.
Next, Lin Yuan left Old Cat No. 1 and approached the Core Pillar in the center of the plaza. Here stood two structures resembling elevators; however, they required Centrifugal Stone Energy to operate and had already been damaged. After some effort to repair them and inputting one unit of Standard Energy into one of them, he successfully activated it.
The moment it powered on, a sweet female voice began chattering away. Although he still couldn't understand it fully, Lin Yuan could roughly grasp that it required identity recognition and password confirmation.
"Here we go again," he thought with a cold smile. "This is nothing!"
Lin Yuan had already successfully repaired this Intelligent Elevator; how could such a trivial matter pose any difficulty for him?
After all, this so-called identity verification was merely a program running on machinery. As long as he had control over the machine itself, why should he care about the program? There's an old saying: without skin, what will hair cling to?
Machinery is fundamental!
A minute later, amidst the incessant chatter of the female voice, the Intelligent Elevator began to operate and descended rapidly. However, this device was indeed quite advanced; once it started descending, a circle of tempered Alloy glass immediately sprang up around it, giving it an upscale appearance.
At this moment, though, Lin Yuan had no time to dwell on that; he focused on observing the situation outside. As expected, it was an enormous base; just the area covered by his Auditory Radar was astonishingly vast. However, everything had now turned into chaos.
Continuing its descent seemed limitless until three minutes later when the Elevator finally came to a stop. From Lin Yuan's estimation, the depth from the initial Underground Plaza to this point must be around fifteen hundred meters.
It was truly an astonishing situation. This island housed a massive Active Volcano, and at a depth of fifteen hundred meters, wasn't that right in the heart of the volcano, surrounded by molten lava?
With this question in mind, Lin Yuan stepped out of the Elevator. His Auditory Radar quickly scanned everything around him, but the Three-Dimensional Projection he received nearly startled him. He found himself deep within the volcano, standing on a platform resembling a suspended basket. This platform was about three hundred square meters and was completely sealed by a special Transparent Glass. Outside the glass was an endless expanse of lava.
It looked incredibly spectacular. Lin Yuan couldn't help but wonder how the Earth Humans had managed to create such a structure, and what material this Transparent Glass was made from that could withstand such terrifying heat and the scorching lava.
However, Lin Yuan didn't have time to investigate further. With a low, rumbling roar, his Auditory Radar detected a shadow darting towards him. Before he could react, his entire Mechanical Body was sent flying! He crashed against the Transparent Glass, and in that moment, he realized what it was made of; according to the feedback from his Intellect, it was a very rare Phantom Alloy!
At the same time, Lin Yuan caught sight of the shadow that had attacked him. It was a humanoid figure about three meters tall, extremely thin—almost like a bamboo pole.
Yet, its legs were curled up like those of a large turkey, giving it remarkable jumping ability. Its arms had transformed into two sharp Bone Blades, while its head still retained some semblance of humanity.
"A Mutant Robot?"
In an instant, Lin Yuan thought of this possibility. But before he could react further, the Mutant struck again with lightning speed, far beyond Lin Yuan's control.
This time, one of the Bone Blades pierced through Lin Yuan's first Mechanical Arm while the other Blade came down directly onto his Energy Engine Armor. The attack felt like it had been forged through countless trials; it was something no novice like Lin Yuan could withstand.
However, Lin Yuan's Energy Engine Armor was indeed the strongest part of his Mechanical Body. Even with the Mutant Robot's Bone Blade attacking it, it held firm and even deflected the blow!
Seizing this rare opportunity, Lin Yuan launched his left Mechanical Leg forward and delivered a fierce Knee Strike to the Mutant Robot's lower body. Although this move seemed somewhat underhanded—after all, the Mutant Robot stood at an impressive three meters tall—he had no choice.
The Knee Strike packed quite a punch, especially with the twenty-centimeter-long Bayonet embedded in his left Mechanical Leg's knee, which proved to be immensely effective! The Mutant Robot let out a yelp as it jumped up in response.
Lin Yuan would not let this hard-won Battle Machine escape!
In an instant, both Mechanical Legs activated their Ejection Devices as he lunged forward forcefully, pinning the Mutant Robot to the ground with his First and Second Mechanical Arms while swiftly switching his Fourth Mechanical Arm to wield the Mighty Bull High-Explosive Pistol. He aimed for the Mutant Robot's temple and fired a shot that obliterated it completely—there was no chance for survival!
As Lin Yuan sighed in relief, an urgent message flashed through his mind.
"Beep! Mutant Robot detected. Intelligent Brain Encyclopedia data collection in progress. Data generated: Mutant Robot is a primitive Carbon-Based Life form from Earth that has mutated due to infection by Super Worm Virus. Danger level: four stars. Recommendation: This species possesses extremely high speed and is exceedingly brutal; approach with caution. Note: There is a % chance that it retains full intelligence; intelligent Mutant Robots have become high-ranking members of rebel forces and are extremely dangerous—maintain high alert."
"Beep! You have successfully killed a Mutant Robot. Would you like to activate the s-5 Sub-base special mission? This special mission requires an Elite level Mechanical Warrior to complete. Execution of Plan A, Dawn Slaughter A: locate and eliminate Mutant Robots. There are no limits on the number, no penalties for failure, and no time restrictions. Killing one e1 level Mutant Robot will reward you with Mechanical Coins 000 and Mission Points. Accumulate twenty kills of Mutant Robots to earn one point of Merit Points!"
...
"Damn!"
The kill notification sent a chill down Lin Yuan's spine. Although he had neither hair nor bones, he had already guessed that the Mutant Robot he had just defeated was one that lacked retained intelligence. That was truly fortunate; if he had encountered one that retained all its intelligence, he would have been dead for sure.
Moreover, it turned out that those Mutant Robots with retained intelligence were the high-ranking members of the resistance. This was hard to believe!
No wonder Mechanical City needed to eliminate them; they would never surrender because they were sworn enemies.
Lin Yuan even wondered how powerful those Mutant Robots must have become after thousands of years of evolution. He had previously felt quite proud of himself, but if he really drew out those ancient monsters, he would have nowhere to hide. Would he have to shout at them, "We're all on the same side, please show mercy," just because his soul was still human?
It was both laughable and tragic!
In this war, there was no choice!!
