S-Class Continent
In the past, radiation zones were generally classified into three levels of danger: low-risk zones, medium-risk zones, and high-risk zones.
Within the high-risk zone, there are already radiation ecosystems capable of adapting to Class A radiation beasts.
Beyond that, there's nothing.
The reason is simple: S-class radiation beasts are no longer confined to a certain area, but can roam freely throughout the entire planet.
It's like the "brain in a vat" that was widely preached.
But this continent of Odick is the only place that can be called an S-class continent.
Every danger here qualifies as S-level.
"Wow, what a huge bone!"
Xiao Yu's mouth dropped open. Before her stood a mountain of white bones, shaped like a beast. The long years had not caused the bones to calcify; instead, as if glue had been applied, a dazzling light had been smeared onto their skin.
Under the influence of this light, the entire mountain of bones resembled a crystal-clear diamond mountain.
"A new mutated energy?"
The senior engineer looked at the "small hill" with great interest.
The most dangerous place is also the place with the most opportunities. The senior engineer did not expect that he would encounter a possible "new energy" after only a few steps.
The development of energy weapons is inseparable from the development of "new energy". Once it is discovered that this "new energy" has the value of replication, then energy weapons will undergo a great evolution.
There is already a stable form of energy on this planet: radiant energy. The energy levels are stable, from F-class to S-class, and the energy state is stable at each stage.
The mutated energy before us, however, clearly does not appear to be radiation energy, because it lacks the unique "radiation aura" of radiation energy. It is very pure, as pure as water.
"Collect some to take back and study."
The senior engineer opened his palm, and a large amount of blood spurted out from his palm. The blood spurted into the glowing light and was slowly absorbed. At the same time, the palm membrane began to peel off and grow larger, wrapping around the blood spurs in reverse, turning into a fleshy ball with a diameter of half a meter.
Even so, the senior engineer still felt uneasy. A large number of "glass shards" continued to be ejected, turning the large fleshy ball into a small glass ball. Finally, he gently picked it off and put it in his pocket.
Although the intense fusion with the "Purple String Space" caused the senior engineer to lose his "Orochi Mode" for a short period of time, it was not without its benefits.
The advantage is that, in this current state, he is the 'Purple String Space,' and the 'Purple String Space' is also him.
Therefore, advanced engineers can even fold the space directly for storage.
The technology of 'folded space' has a wide range of applications, even in the field of space.
The most advanced "folded space" is not folding an object or a city, but an entire galaxy. For example, the top cosmic treasure, the "Teras Ring," appears to be an extremely beautiful diamond necklace, but it is also an entire galaxy.
The other three watched the senior engineer act silently.
After the senior engineer finished, Black Rose asked in confusion, "Why not just teleport to that place? We don't have much time."
Ms. Ye was also rubbing the toy bear, its head looking around warily.
"There are two reasons. First, there are too many strange things on this continent. If we make large-scale modifications to the spatial parameters, it could get contaminated with something, which would be very troublesome."
The senior engineer paused for a moment, then added, "Secondly, according to that old man's memories, the method to get in there is a bit special."
In the senior engineer's view, after arriving on the continent of Odick, Xiao Yu's biomagnetic field had been undergoing subtle changes, as if it were calling out for something, or attracting something.
The four continued onward, encountering all sorts of strange entities, such as a writhing mountain of flesh, an abandoned ancient research institute, and a group of robots that looked like beggars. Each of these things was incredibly sinister. For instance, the senior engineer sensed an aura of 'space' and 'destruction' emanating from the group of moving ancient robots.
The four stood on a small hill, watching the group of ancient robots walk by, and then disappear in an instant not far away.
"Boss, where did they go?"
Xiao Yu asked curiously.
The senior engineer did not answer directly, but said, "There is a theory that when the energy intensity reaches a certain limit, it may tear through space and send people to the future in the form of 'amber'."
"Boss, are you saying they came from the past?" Xiao Yu's eyes widened.
"It's possible. At least their attire is very similar to that of modified soldiers from the Second Mechanical War," the senior engineer paused, then added, "But there's another possibility: they don't actually exist, and this is just a time-travel phenomenon."
"Very interesting," Black Rose said with great interest. "I sensed a great deal of human imprinting in them."
"Every piece of amber carries with it everything from the previous era."
"Let's go. These mechanical soldiers should be safe, as long as we don't actively disrupt some of their operating rules."
Admittedly, there are too many dangers on the continent of Odick.
But with their combined strength, as long as they don't deliberately take risks, they can avoid 90% of the trouble in advance.
During this process, Xiao Yu gradually became silent and withdrawn, as if she had entered a certain state.
Finally, after getting rid of a special 'S-class radiation beast', the four senior engineers arrived at a desolate graveyard.
All four of them bore some traces of battle.
The reason why that "S-class radiation beast" is special is that it is not a certain type of radiation beast, but an entire "radiation land". The entire land has been nurtured with a main consciousness and has obtained the S-class bloodline. It was only thanks to the senior engineer's spatial ability that it was able to escape. This is because not only the senior engineer has spatial ability, but the other party also has it. The other party can open up a large spatial domain and cut off all perception of the outside world within this domain.
Under this ability, both Black Rose and "Ms. Ye" suffered considerable losses.
"I'll get my revenge sooner or later," Ms. Ye said through gritted teeth. Two new cracks appeared on her skin. The enemy had just sealed off the space, cutting off her connection with all the electronic brains and causing her abilities to regress to the level of an ordinary mutant. It almost scared her to death.
However, this also served as a reminder to her that the psychic ability of "homogeneous conversion" was not invincible. If the enemy severed her connection with other electronic brains, it would be extremely dangerous.
"I'm afraid you can't do it."
Black Rose frowned and shook her hand. Her fair and slender fingers were now charred and unsightly, with cracks at the joints, revealing high-quality bionic components.
This was a side effect of her enduring an S-class beast tide.
Even with the abilities of the "Metabolism Queen," it wouldn't be able to be repaired in a short time.
What's even more disgusting is that despite paying such a high price, she still couldn't kill her opponent.
The reason is simple: the true form of that 'radiation beast' is the continent of Odick beneath their feet.
Although she made a sarcastic remark about "Ms. Ye," Black Rose still kept her eyes on Engineer Gao.
The senior engineer said helplessly, "Forget about it. Unless you use a space-based cannon to completely break the framework of the entire continent, the mother city will not allow you to do that. If you break through the continent and release these S-class monsters, who knows what will happen?"
"I never expected that an S-class radiation spirit would be born in this S-class continent."
At this point, the senior engineer abruptly stopped speaking. The reason was simple: the sword pattern on Xiao Yu's forehead began to slowly light up. As a result, an inconspicuous tombstone in the cemetery slowly sank, revealing a black hole.
"Arrive."
The senior engineer narrowed his eyes. Without a doubt, this was the place where Xiao Yuanjun sealed the End Armor back then.
After the four entered the cave, the cave returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.
On the land centered around the tomb, a pair of eyes, each as large as a basketball court, slowly opened, curiously surveying the scene.
As if it were wary of something, or perhaps expecting something, it closed its eyes once again.
"I can sense that there are people, but these 'people' have a rather peculiar feeling," Black Rose said.
"It's not just people," the senior engineer said, looking up at the ceiling where several pinhole surveillance cameras were located.
The area beneath the tombstone was not as dark as I had imagined; it was much brighter. Furthermore, going down the stairs led to a large hall with more than a dozen passageways leading in all directions, clearly showing signs of human activity.
At this moment, the senior engineer directly used the skill "Radiation Invisibility" to create an invisibility effect by refracting the radiation field, and stood in the hall with the three of them.
The senior engineer glanced at Xiao Yu. Ever since entering the location of the End Armor, Xiao Yu seemed to have fallen into some kind of state, confused and absent-minded.
Soon, two sets of footsteps sounded in a passageway, along with a faint voice.
"The security system is issuing a warning... what strange external device is it this time?"
"I don't know, but I'll just go and take a look."
Soon, the two "people" revealed their appearances.
He's definitely not human!
Their bodies are nearly three meters tall, their faces are full of sharp teeth, and their mouths are even torn open to their temples. Their tongues, which are sometimes sticking out, are nearly half a meter long. But even so, the words they speak are perfectly standard human speech.
A probe swept across—
Name: Strong Colony Guardian
Species: Top life forms
Level: 50
Health: 3.2 million/3.2 million
Stamina: 99000/99000
Bioenergy: 1.7 million
Biological attributes: Strength 950, Agility 531, Stamina 1030, Intelligence 300, Perception 340
Skills: Weaponization of Hypnotic Bodies (Tier 2 - lv5), Hypnotic Blood Attack (Tier 2 - lv8), Strong Biological Domain (Tier 2 - lv5)...
Template: Neogene Life, Species Destroyer (Incomplete)
Goodness, both templates are super weird, even though one of them is a defective product.
With 3.2 million HP, it's several times stronger than a typical A-rank character—a true tank!
However, this super monster, which could be defeated anywhere as a final boss, is currently wearing a security guard uniform.
