Don't look at the mechanical city, there are many colonized robots and mechanized combat soldiers, and the biggest threat to Link is the leader of the Mechanic God Cult, Dr. Zhao, who guards the mechanical city as a mechanical pioneer.

After encountering Dr. Zhao, normal people will definitely be deceived by his mechanized body and the appearance of the brain in the tank on his head, thinking that he is only proficient in the mechanical fighting style, and his weakness is the head without any protection.

But in fact, after Dr. Zhao replaced all the organs in his body with machines, the only native accessory, the brain, also achieved unprecedented development, and he actually activated his telekinesis. And there's a new path and possibility between machines and abilities.

This is why the Cult of the Mechanics did not evolve into a sapient creature that was completely controlled by the Purge Protocol program, but instead became a fusion of what is now half human, half machine.

Others don't know, but Link, as a six-year veteran player, still remembers the big boss's hole cards vividly. Many of the guild bosses present today were all pitted by Dr. Zhao's one-handed brain power in their previous lives, and even caused a fight between several major guilds at one time.

Now that Link has such a good thing as a spiritual crown, he naturally has to wear it, just in case of Dr. Zhao's way.

Link emerged from the chamber and walked through the hall on the first floor to the garden.

At this time, the players are no longer as restrained as they were just now, but more of them still dare not speak, for fear of leaving a bad impression on the painter.

Just kidding, a good impression of a legendary NPC can affect the future development of the game.

Only Dave, who is also an NPC, dared to come forward to talk to John, and there was a lot of admiration between words.

And because Dave is proficient in machinery, the conversation between the two has gone from the ecological maintenance box containing Martha to the scavenger mech.

"This mecha is something I saved by myself in the past few years. The chips in it are the five module chips of the mechanical fanatic, which is why Link and I met in the first place. I obviously just came to Shadu, but I seemed to know that I needed these five chips for a long time, and successfully found my weakness. ”

"So you're here to help us infiltrate Machine City at Link's request?" John asked.

Dave's eyes changed from excitement to suddenly became as firm as iron, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Ten years ago, there was a sudden power failure in the mechanical city, and I escaped with my granddaughter, but who knew that on the way to escape, we encountered a team of fanatics, and I fought desperately to get out of the siege, but Helen was recaptured by them." Not a single night in the past ten years has not been spent in longing and hatred, and I vow that one day I must return to Machine City and rescue Helen. ”

"And today, this is the day!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you had such a story behind it." John apologized, his palm rubbed lightly on the maintenance box, he didn't go to save his loved ones on this trip to the mechanical city, so he understood this feeling.

Dave smiled, scratched his head, and smiled on his face: "I thought it was just Link taking me this time, but I didn't expect the famous painter to be there, so I am more confident in this trip to the Machine City." ”

Chasing the wind, Leng Feng, Bombing Chicken, Lost Questions, Demon Spirit, and Tang Jiu, the six of them stood aside and listened to the story carefully, salivating for the scavenger mecha for a while, and tearful for the bitter story behind Dave.

Link returned to the garden and asked, "Are you all ready?" ”

The six players straightened their backs, like soldiers under review.

Dave climbed up to the scavenger mecha in three or two steps, and the core energy behind it was activated, and the red energy was injected into the center through the catheter, activating all parts of the mecha.

Bang Bang Bang!

Dave controls the Scavenger Mech and thumps it three times in the chest, indicating that he is always ready.

John also nodded slightly, indicating that there was nothing wrong with him.

As for the six players, Link completely ignored them.

Anyway, their main task this time is to block ...... Buying time for John and Martha makes no difference if you're ready or not.

Shout~

Link blew a whistle, and the Treasure Hunt Rat sprang out of the bushes and climbed all the way up to Link's shoulder.

Also appearing at the same time are the five younger brothers of the treasure hunting mouse, the five rat special team.

In addition to this, a large number of spy rats and self-detonating rats appeared from outside the garden.

The treasure hunt rat stood on Link's shoulder, one little paw on Link's shoulder, and the other little paw clenched into a small fist to tap his back, making an aggrieved humming sound in his mouth, and then complained to Link.

For this attack, the treasure hunt rat can be said to be tired and broken. I have to with dozens of self-detonating female rats every night, just to give birth to new self-detonating mice as much as possible.

Looking at the tens of thousands of self-detonating rats, the treasure hunt rat said to Link aggrievedly: "Look, this is the great country I fought for you!" ”

The Spy Mouse is designed to access the mechanical city system and obtain the code to the greatest extent.

As for the self-detonating rats, everyone who understands them understands it, so there is no need to go into too much detail.

John has seen big scenes, and there have been several rat galloping incidents in Shadu before, so he has long been resistant to this.

Dave was the same, although he was surprised, he was wrapped in a scavenger mecha, and a sense of security arose.

It was the first time for the six players to see such a scene, and the few people who had just taken a break and stood in a row were all hanging on Leng Feng and Chasing Feng at this moment, with wonderful expressions.

The only thing that makes Link regret is that he can't post on the forum, otherwise he would definitely have to take a screenshot of this picture.

"It's okay for you to be scared, but don't put your feet on the ground. Many of these rats are self-detonating rats, and when they step on a pressure change, they will explode instantly, blowing your legs off. As a veteran member of the Link Gang, Chasing Wind had heard of the horrors of self-detonating rats, and immediately explained it to the other five. He didn't want to be blown to pieces before he even went on the expedition.

Leng Feng, as a former special forces, had never been in any difficult environment, and when he saw this situation, he did not move, and let the rats run past his feet and crotch.

On the contrary, a few of them hung on the two of them, and they were all so frightened that they raised their feet, for fear that they would not be able to support their feet and fall to the ground, and they would step on the 'moving bomb'.

Self-detonating rats and spy rats are surging, and in a minute, they all enter a black hole with a diameter of five meters.

There was a low roar of thunder coming from the black hole, like the muffled thunder of a tropical rainforest before the rainy season, which gradually became lower and more silent as time passed.

"Alright, we're ready to go now. Everyone except Dave came here to get a Bluetooth helmet and a power car. ”

Dave began to tune up the mech, adjusting the chat frequency to the same as the Bluetooth helmet.

When did the bombing chicken on the side see this kind of scene, and couldn't help but whisper: "What does it mean to wear a Bluetooth helmet?" ”

Leng Feng replied expressionlessly: "Next we will enter the tunnel, no accident this tunnel should be directly connected to the mechanical city, if we use the usual voice to talk in the tunnel, the sound waves will diverge and propagate in the tunnel, and this tunnel is very long, our sound will be transmitted through amplitude, the energy will become larger and larger, and even cause the tunnel to collapse." ”

"If you don't want to be buried in the ground, it's best not to be surprised when you're in a cave."

Hearing this, Lost Mowen, Tang Jiu, Demon Spirit, Chasing Wind and Bombing Chicken all obediently put on Bluetooth helmets.

Each rode a power bike, and John carefully hung the maintenance box on the back of the power bike.

As the lights of the power car turned on, a huge cave with a diameter of five meters appeared in front of everyone, extremely empty and bottomless.

Both the six players and Dave were impressed by the smooth walls of the cavern, which had no mud in the slightest.

What kind of strength do you need to dig a hole from the Weeping Valley to the Machine City?

You know, from the Valley of Weeping to the Grand Canal of Gauria, it is more than thirty kilometers long. What a terrifying amount of engineering must be a huge hole with a diameter of five meters? The most important thing is that Wuthering Castle and Shenmu City are not far away, these players travel between the desert and Shenmu City almost every day, but they do not see any traces of construction in Wuthering Castle.

Through the Bluetooth helmet, John took in the shocked eyes of the six Inhumans.

If they knew that these were all excavated by Link's pet Touch Dragon God in the afternoon, their expressions would be even more exciting.

Players thought that after going deep into the cave, the space inside would be reduced, but they drove more than ten kilometers all the way, and the whole journey was four or five meters high, and they didn't feel oppressive at all.

"It's strange, it stands to reason that when we enter such a deep place, why don't we feel breathless and lack of oxygen?" Lost Mo Wen couldn't help but ask. The five players all set their eyes on the only one of the players, the Lin Consortium employee, who was chasing the wind.

But Chasing Feng didn't know anything about it, and he looked embarrassed.

The result was naturally a look of contempt.

At this time, Link, who was at the front of the team, spoke: "Because I have arranged in advance for the silver marching ants to dig air holes connecting to the ground along the tunnel, the entire hole will not be starved of oxygen. ”

After saying that, Link threw another topic to Dave: "Dave, you escaped from Machine City ten years ago, and you haven't forgotten the structure inside, right?" ”

"Every night for the past ten years, I have relived the memories of my escape, so that one day I can return to Machine City and rescue my granddaughter, Helen. And in the past few years, through the collection of Fanatic memory chips, plus my memory, I have a general understanding of the structure of the mechanical city. ”

Dave said a little on his chest, and a cloud of light emerged from his chest, forming a holographic scene in the air—a complex and exquisite city, the City of Machines.

"The Machinery City is mainly divided into five major areas, and the northeast is the energy area of the Machinery City, which is also my target area this time. All the human batteries are concentrated here, and through special energy conversion equipment, the dream energy is converted into real energy for the use of the mechanical city, which can be said to be a vital part of the entire mechanical city. ”

"To the southeast, the place where scientific research and experimentation are carried out in the Machine City, that is, the target area of the painter. The laboratory of the Dream Project is here, but the specific laboratory still needs to be investigated and found. ”

"To the southwest, the military factory in the Machine City, all the robots and cyborgs come from here. In addition to weapons, the production of breeding robots is also carried out. In addition to being a manufacturing factory, it is also a barracks for soldiers. Once we are exposed, a massive army of machines will be sent to surround us. ”

"To the northwest, the data storage base of the Machine City. The distribution center of all the data of the Cult of the Mechanical God can be understood as the CPU core processor of the entire mechanical city, which is heavily guarded all year round. ”

"And the most important middle, the very center of the mechanical city - the mechanical giant. In the center is a huge gear with a diameter of more than 100 meters, and the half-encased building is the territory of Dr. Zhao, the leader of the Cult of the Mechanical God, where his personal laboratory, research center, is located. The huge gear of the mechanical giant is the core hub of the entire mechanical city, and it is also the key to the power of the mechanical city to act on land. ”

Dave talks about the structure of Mecha City, and the six players are already confused.

Although they could hear the names of the Cult of the Mechanics and the Mechanical City every day, through the holographic lens, they realized that the actual Mechanical City was far bigger than they imagined in their minds.

A mechanical city five kilometers long and wide, hundreds of meters high, with a gigantic structure and ingenious design, combined to form the most high-tech product of Wasteplanet, it can also be driven and moved through the canals and the Gobi land, as if only in science fiction stories.

"Do you have any plans for entering Machine City?" John asked.

The corners of Link's mouth turned up slightly, and a confident smile appeared: "It's October 30th." At the end of the month, the Cult of the Mechanics of the desert will gather in the Mechanics City to pass along the way, select the zealots who are qualified to enter the Mechanic City, award the chips, and become the true Mechanic Apostles. All we have to do is find nine powerful fanatics to occupy the magpie's nest and enter the mechanical city in their place. Take on the role of a mechanical apostle and act in the mechanical city. ”

Listening to Link's plan, John finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought your plan was to go all the way to the Machine City."

Link shrugged his shoulders and teased, "No way, someone is only good at simple plans, and I had to delete and change the plan many times in order to accommodate it, and finally get to the point where you can understand it." ”

The players who followed behind did not dare to gasp.

In their opinion, a huge and high-level legendary NPC like the Painter must be stronger than Link.

However, Link is now joking with the painter at will, even at mutual expense, without the slightest hint of superiority or superiority.

Just when it was messy, the headlights of the power car shone on the hole in front of it, and a silver flash flashed into the eye, which instantly lit up the hole. If you look closely, you can see that all of this light is reflected from the metallic silver marching ants.

"Alright, we're now under the path of the Machine City."

Link looked at the silver marching ants crawling all over the burrow, and gradually slowed down to stop.

"It's time to surprise the Machine City."
