In the blink of an eye, the team came to the endless ice field, surrounded by a white expanse except for the ice path left by the migration of the iceberg under their feet.

If it weren't for the wonders of the auroras in the sky that could serve as part of the scenery, I am afraid that it would be depressive in such a place.

"Oh my God...... How long are we going to have to walk here? I can't see the end at a glance, if this extremely cold country is very big, wouldn't we have to leave it for a few years? Someone in the team grumbled.

Indeed, everyone also has such a complaining idea in their hearts, after all, they are all walking on foot, and there is no transportation in the team, and they are all tired and tired.

"No way, this place shouldn't be that small, I ...... when I was in the Land of Machines the other day"

Gong Piqing wanted to speak and stopped, he suddenly didn't want to say what happened to him when he was in the country of machines, although that mission was a very unsuccessful mission for him, he was a person who was difficult to accept failure.

"What's wrong boss? What's wrong in the land of machines? One of the team members was intrigued by him.

"Forget it, don't talk about it, it's miserable, keep walking, just say it when you're tired, stop and eat something, don't be in such a hurry." Gong Piqing said.

"Don't be like this, Captain, if you have anything to say, you can just say it, the processes you have in the mission are all top-secret files, we didn't want to know before, and now we are all thrown into other worlds, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't hold it in your heart, now except for our brothers, no one can help relieve the boredom!" A member of the team walked over and comforted.

Gong Piqing lowered his head and fell silent.

"Like, what exactly did you and Hades go through in the Land of Machines? I went to ask them and said that it was classified and couldn't be said, and now it's just us humans here, if you don't want to say it, then rotten in your stomach, and in the end there will be no one to share until you die. Zhang Yuemei gave him a blank look and said.

"I'm not afraid of affecting our morale, besides, that mission failed, the whole process was miserable, and it played some negative roles, so it's better not to say it." Gong Piqing said with a long sigh.

"Mission failed? Who said that, isn't it, isn't it a big win? Didn't you both give the award back? Someone wondered.

Gong Piqing was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, why did he still present the award...... The level of this mission is second only to the SSS-level mission, and you actually have some so-called awards, he immediately smiled bitterly, "No, the award is to reward me and the Hades for returning from the country of machines alive, but are you sure you want to listen to it?" ”

"Sure, boss, you can rest assured, everyone is walking here, and it's easy to be depressed if you're idle for a long time, so we'll tell us a story, okay?" One of the team members said.

"Yes, big brother, we have all fallen to such a point, just say it, and tell us stories." The other team member reconsidered.

Gong Piqing nodded helplessly, "Okay, as long as your psychological pressure is big enough, if someone is depressed at that time, don't say it's the pressure I put on you." ”

After he finished speaking, he wanted to judge the current state of the players by their faces, but the team members were all wearing masks, and he couldn't see anything, so he simply said directly.

"I don't know how big our current country of extreme cold is, I only know that the area of the country of machines is terrifying, and Gaia, who is in charge of the country of machines, should have also received relevant information before leaving, that is, the area of the country of machines is too big." Gong Piqing thought about it, and said the fear of the demon realm in his heart......

"Before we went there, the legend was that the country of machines was a country full of machinery and steam power, and in the center of the country of machines there was a tower that I don't know how high, and the king of the country of machines, that is, the lord of the entire country of machines, was in that tower, but it wasn't until I went with the king of Hades that I found out that the legends were all wrong, and the real country of machines was actually a super large tower, and each floor of the tower was the size of a city, Immortal and I ran for four or five hours on one level and couldn't get to the other end, enough to see how big each floor was. ”

"Big brother, do you mean that the entire country of extreme cold is a tower?" One of the team members asked in surprise.

"That's right, according to my judgment and that of Hades, it's like this, each floor of it is about eighty kilometers high, and we don't know how many layers there are, and even the height of that tower may be comparable to the distance between our earth and other planets in the solar system, but this is all speculation, and we didn't have time to measure there, only that the height of the high-rise building we were on at that time was about three thousand meters, and that building looked similar to our earth's building, but the height was three thousand meters high, There's also a drawer-like sliding terrace at the top, which allows the entire floor to slide out of the building to form an open-air deck. ”

"Three thousand meters? How deep does this foundation have to be laid? You're already going to break the laws of physics, right? One of the team members was skeptical.

Gong Piqing nodded, "That's right, this height is very shocking, but the country of machines relies on complex and sophisticated mechanical structures to do this, and the floor where I went to Hades for the second time is a modern city, everything in the city is made of machinery, a mechanical giant that is also more than three thousand meters tall controls everything in the city like a puppeteer, and the way this giant controls them is through countless transparent silk threads, and those silk threads seem to have some kind of magic attached, Normally, you can't see it at all, and Hades and I didn't find those threads until the end. ”

After speaking, he paused for a few seconds, "In short, there is a trap prepared for me and the Hades, and we stepped on these traps all the way to the head, and finally escaped from death, directly smashed the ceiling of that floor and flew to the previous floor, and then teleported back through the portal." ”

When he said this, someone gasped, what he said has become a thing of the past, but now Gaia should be in the country of machines, experiencing similar things to Gong Piqing, in terms of ability, Gaia and Gong Piqing are indeed more adaptable, but even Gong Piqing said that he almost died there, so can Gaia really complete his mission in the country of machines......

"Okay, then it's time for me to put pressure on you, which is what I didn't say at first but you asked me to say, that is, I'm worried that the area of the country of extreme cold is about the same as that of the country of machines, although each floor of the country of machines has the area of a large city, but its overall structure is still a tower-like structure, and the conditions of the country of extreme cold are not enough to support such a high-rise tower-like structure, so its plane area should be quite large, what I mean by this is, We're probably going to have to walk a long, long way here. Gong Piqing said.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, more than half of the team members' heads immediately drooped, as if they were doubting life.

Yes, they are all young adults in their twenties and thirties, although the mission headquarters has been preparing for more than ten years, some people have boiled their heads white just in the preparation stage, if they also become some middle-aged people or even gray-haired elderly people after they go out, then wouldn't they be equivalent to spending most of their lives in the demon world?

After Gong Piqing said this, the whole team remained silent for a long time, and finally Gong Piqing laughed first and said: "Look, everyone has behaved so bravely before, and their hearts are impeccable and have the right to listen to the story, why don't you speak now?" ”

One of the team members sighed, "It's just a pity, now that we've all come here, I don't care if it's auspicious or unlucky, for example, we've really been here for more than ten years, and we're about to become little old men when we get out, and I haven't found a partner yet...... It's a long difference with the family, and I still can't let it go......"

"This point is calculated by the headquarters for us, send us singles, if everyone has wives and children outside, it is really tormenting to come out now."

Listening to the team members comforting each other in this way, Gong Piqing also shook his head helplessly, "Okay, then I won't scare you here, the headquarters has long taken into account this point of ours, and has added several rush functions to our suit, you try to wake it up with voice, I haven't tried it either, but it is estimated that it will be very easy to use." ”

After Gong Piqing finished speaking, he whispered in the suit: "Turn on the auxiliary walking function", and there was a sudden sound of machinery operating from the suit on his body, and then several hard special alloy rods and some hydraulic devices appeared, and the alloy rods were connected to each other along the outside of his two legs, and finally formed something similar to a simple prosthetic limb to wrap his legs in it.

"The assisted walking function is turned on, I will adjust the speed according to your walking needs, you just need to keep walking normally." Gong Piqing heard the voice from the suit assistant, and then he tried to jump lightly, and those exoskeleton-like metal rods instantly exerted force under the function of the hydraulic device, making him jump out of the distance seven or eight meters away, he let out an exclamation in the air, and finally landed steadily, leaving his team members behind him in one step.

In the rear, the team members chose different assisted walking schemes, some of them were similar to Gong Piqing, the exoskeleton leg armor composed of special metal rods greatly reduced their power consumption when walking, and some of the team members directly adopted the "lazy walking mode", those metal rods were directly connected to their backs, forming a recliner-like thing for them to lie there, and then several small wheels popped out of the equipment box inside the suit to the designated position, forming a simple electric wheelchair......

The exclamations of the team members were immediately heard on this vast ice field, and with the blessing of various auxiliary walking functions, their forward speed had made a qualitative leap, but they also knew that all this they had done was just to find the capital of the Demon Realm faster, and the real battle was still to come......
