"It's turned around."

With a gentle wave of his hand, Tong created a city that never sleeps, shrunk to a factor of ten million, from countless data points in an instant.

At this moment, the two small red dots are rushing out of the city at supersonic speed.

"How can those two run so fast?" Chappie stroked his chin. "Ten times the speed of sound?"

The collider twisted its neck, turning its head, which had been twisted 270 degrees, back to normal.

"Hidden Guards!"

"Unit 1 reporting!"

"Unit 2 reporting!"

"Unit 3 reporting!"

Accompanied by the voices of three little girls, three enormous objects emerged from their stealth state. They were three super tanks, ten times larger than ordinary tanks, and looked like a mobile fortress.

A violent stream of energy began to shoot out in all directions. In almost an instant, the three "fortresses" were suspended in the air. The three cockpits opened, the anti-gravity technology was activated, and the three people were immediately sucked into the cockpits.

The three 'fortresses' were completely energized, a sign of interstellar flight. The next moment, three thick beams of energy flashed by, shattering the mechanical eyeliner's blockade without hesitation.

The eyes of countless mechanical octopuses flashed red, but in just a few breaths, they were left behind by the speed of 'interstellar flight'.

"They're all mechanical eyes and ears. This mechanical city only has a light unmanned army. It's too easy to deal with!" The collider laughed heartily.

"Number One thinks so too," a Tank Lolita in the holographic projection said, giving the middle finger to someone behind her.

Stealth, short for Stealth Ring Satellite Launcher, is a mobile vehicle for outer space travel created by combining Cybertronian flight machinery with Deep Web AI technology.

Tong frowned as he watched the two robots arguing heatedly about which brand of gasoline beer tasted best.

"Hidden Guard, activate the satellite monitoring station."

"Okay, Sister Tong."

Another tank loli, while connecting to the satellite station, sucked her fingers and looked longingly at the other side, a gasoline drink; she wanted to join the discussion too.

"Connection successful."

The next moment, a silver-white flying saucer appeared on the holographic screen, and countless modules were marked out.

"Sister Tong, it's an eighth-level aircraft, but it doesn't belong to any of the mother city models."

Looking at the 'silver-white tower' logo on the surface of the UFO, Tong muttered to himself, "Is it Arasaka Technology again?"

"It looks like it's based on ancient spaceship technology, learning from the mother city, and iterating out flight technology."

Suddenly, the collider's voice came through the communicator.

"What are you trying to say?" Tong keenly sensed something.

"What I mean is, it copied more than just this one."

Countless simulated data were reconstructed, revealing Chappie's figure, which was hovering outside the window.

"Tong, Arasaka's anti-hacking technology is interesting. If we continue searching, we might expose ourselves. Should we continue?"

"No need, just follow from a distance."

"All right."

Inside the flying saucer, in two enormous repair chambers, Heavy Hammer David and Roger were immersed in a large amount of silver nutrient solution, which was rapidly repairing their previous injuries.

"There's something wrong with that heavy robot," a deep electronic voice rang out, and Heavy Hammer opened its eyes.

"I can sense that it's not as weak as it appears. Is it a mechanical clone? An unmanned machine? Or a virus-infected machine?"

Roger, on the other side, remained calm. The shield in his hand was less a vibranium shield and more a high-tech version of the Flying Guillotine, with sharp serrations all around and a large, serrated mouth in the center that opened and closed.

"Perhaps the opponent was just not using their full strength."

"That's impossible. No one can survive my hammer."

Roger did not refute, but simply uploaded the information to a secret database. Not long after, an old electronic voice sounded.

"Ignore them. They have their own rules and won't easily interfere in the internal conflicts of Mechanical City."

Roger slowly closed his eyes.

About half an hour later, a world covered in snow appeared.

On a nuclear-bombed planet, the environment often presents two extremes: north of the Guanzhong Plate is an iron sand desert, while to the south is an ice field and snow pole.

Here, snow falls like it's free, and it's not just any ordinary "goose feathers"—the snow here has extremely high levels of radiation.

If the iron sand desert still has an "ecological environment" like an urban area, then the snow pole truly has no signs of life at all.

It is hard to imagine that two such extreme environments could coexist on a small continent.

The door to the repair bay opened, and two new figures appeared. Roger pressed a button, and soon, countless fist-sized miniature drones rained down and began to scout around.

An unusual sight caught his attention. As the camera zoomed in, a patch of dry, smoky ground appeared, and in the center of the ground was a giant crater about a mile in diameter.

"Excessive nuclear radiation detected; small solar sail activated."

On the surface of the spaceship, a triangular "mechanical sail" rises from above, with numerous energy patterns on each blade.

Compared to the radiation protection of planetary equipment, interstellar equipment makes more use of radiation. For example, this "solar sail" is a common device in interstellar travel, which absorbs various radiation rays in the universe to extend the spacecraft's range.

However, there is only one place that can enable this spaceship to activate its solar sails: the center of a nuclear explosion.

Soon, more and more of these "nuclear explosion centers" appeared, all of them giant craters.

"Someone bypassed the machine gunnery's monitoring system and dropped a dozen nuclear bombs here?" Hammer David asked, puzzled.

Roger shook his head. "Arasaka 14, prepare for long-range deployment."

The two delivery bays were removed by the robotic arm and wedged into the hatch area.

"Have you found them?"

Roger pointed to the center of a frozen lake, where a figure rose and fell amidst the layers of broken ice.

"I hate this environment," Hammer sneered. "I'm going to tear it to pieces!"

Roger stepped into the drop pod, followed closely by Hammer. With a deafening roar that could rip eardrums, the two drop pods were dropped amidst the snowstorm.

Amidst the countless blocks of ice, the senior engineer's consciousness became somewhat hazy.

There's no way around it; if you were subjected to a nuclear explosion a dozen times and then submerged in an icy lake, you'd also feel disoriented.

Even water, fire, poison, and dragon drills aren't this fierce.

However, after more than ten nuclear explosions, the will of the old friend, the Scarlet Queen, was once again destroyed, and she went to meet her old enemy.

The senior engineer could feel that the bright red blood cells were deeply merging with his own cells.

Once this fusion is complete, I will reach level 20, the pinnacle of my skill.

A quick glance at the system panel revealed that bioenergy had surged by another 10,000, reaching 39,810, successfully surpassing mechanical energy.

2kxs. la

Generally speaking, below level 30, neither biological energy nor mechanical energy is likely to exceed 30,000 points.

Unless you absorb equipment or bloodline from a higher-level civilization.

This is why both of his systems exceeded their limits.

However, even when he enters a state of enlightenment, he will still notice if someone gets close.

Nearly a meter long fins grew from his ankles, which were probably part of one of the five marine species. With a slight movement, the engineer felt as if he were floating on the lake. Once his feet left the water, the fins retracted back into his body.

After deeply fusing with the crimson cells, the wild mechanical hunter disappeared. His facial features remained the same, but he looked very delicate and refined. Red lines covered his entire body from both sides of his cheeks, and his original short men's hair became short women's hair, with crimson hair covering both sides of his cheeks.

With his pale face, the style of the wild hunter suddenly transformed into that of a perverted gentleman.

"Turns out he's just a pretty boy!"

David the Hammer's military aircraft approached step by step, each step creating numerous cracks in the ground.

This guy's arm has been cut off, and in its place is a military aircraft arm that is three times thicker than a gorilla's arm.

The overall look is like cutting off the limbs of a living person and then embedding them into a top-of-the-line mech.

"Be careful, this person is not simple."

"In the City That Never Sleeps, which one is simple!" Heavy Hammer David walked up to the senior engineer and looked down at him.

The next moment, a violent anti-gravity weapon was deployed, and the ground where the two were standing began to sink rapidly.

Ten times, fifty times, one hundred times...

"No response?"

David's copper-bell-like eyes widened, and the next moment, the military aircraft's arms roared out and slammed into the opponent. In that instant, the military aircraft's mechanical energy soared to 500,000.

Fists clashed silently.

Like a clay ox sinking into the sea, from David's perspective, he could only see more and more flesh crawling up through the gaps in the military aircraft.

"What the hell is this?!"

With a swift motion, David's left hand unleashed a high-temperature incinerating blade, unleashing a violent burst of flames that incinerated flesh and blood as he leaped forward.

A massive fleshy carpet followed closely behind, with one of its fleshy whips wrapping around his feet and slamming down with a loud bang, creating a deep crater. At the center of the crater stood the former First Guardian of Arasaka Tower, Heavy Hammer David.

The senior engineer thoughtfully extended his palm, which, in his eyes, consisted of countless flesh and blood cells that were constantly dividing.

"So this is what the Scarlet Queen's perspective is like."

On the system panel, rows of numbers appeared.

[You have mastered the S-rank talent 'Flesh and Blood Carpet']

The giant carpet of flesh and blood: devours everything, digests everything, and then, gives birth to everything.

"S-rank? How is that higher than the Crimson Queen?"

"What the hell!?"

With a roar, energy nozzles lit up on the military aircraft, a total of two hundred, far exceeding the limits of civilian aircraft.

The maximum number of civilian-use aircraft is 50.

This is four times its size.

The force of Hammer Adam's charge was no less than that of an aircraft carrier.

"That sounds interesting, let's give it a try."

The senior engineer took a step back, leaning forward with one leg and one palm, and once again switched to the 'Crimson Queen's' field of vision.

Sky, earth, soil, air, countless free-floating cells.

Under the influence of the advanced engineer, these cells converged at an alarming rate.

The bioenergy was consumed by 10,000 points at once.

Hammer Adam's charge was stopped once again, this time by a massive wall of flesh and blood.

The height and thickness of the wall are enough to stop not only military aircraft, but even giants.
