Safe Zone
Suddenly, the triangular patterns on the chests of their Smart Soft Armor emitted beams of red light that shot towards Xiao Fan and his group.
Because of their previous battle with the Mechanical Overlord, upon seeing the red ray, Blade Shadow and the others instinctively wanted to dodge.
Remembering what Xiao Fan had said in the current game channel, the group forced themselves to remain still.
"Scan complete, no abnormalities found."
The patrolman's voice wasn't the electronic kind from robots; it was more like a human's, only cold and emotionless.
After the scan was completed, the five patrolmen turned and left.
Once they were far away, Xiao Fan relaxed a little when he saw that Shasha and the other person were still alive.
He couldn't understand why the two of them were so tense; their Smart Soft Armor could clearly evade the Underground City robots' scans.
Xiao Fan quickly found out why.
They hadn't walked far after getting off the elevator when an iron gate appeared in front of them.
Shasha took out a black remote control-like device and stuck it on the iron gate, her finger constantly tapping something in the air.
Three minutes later, after she took the black remote control, the iron gate opened from both sides.
Stepping through the iron gate, the scene before Xiao Fan left him speechless with shock.
Azure sky, white clouds.
A huge, transparent sphere floats in the air, its surface shimmering with complex lines.
The surrounding area is filled with towering skyscrapers that reach into the clouds. Various aircraft shuttle among them.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Xiao Fan would never have believed that this was an Underground City.
The group of Blade Shadow behind them were equally shocked. If they weren't afraid of being discovered by Yuan Yi, they would have screamed in alarm.
As Xiao Fan continued walking with Shasha, he realized that they were in the middle of this Underground City. There was an elevated road under their feet, and looking down, they could only see a complex network of roads weaving between various tall buildings.
This secret realm is so rich in content!
Putting everything else aside, just looking at this Underground City, if it weren't for the fact that he had entered a secret realm, Xiao Fan would have thought he had traveled into a real world.
That's amazing!
Xiao Fan and his companions followed behind Shasha and her companion. Along the way, they encountered several patrol teams, who kept scanning them. Xiao Fan guessed that Yuan Yi had figured out they had entered the Underground City and had already ordered a manhunt for them.
The further Xiao Fan went, the more he realized that the Underground City was not simple.
The roads may seem chaotic, but they actually have no pattern whatsoever; a normal person would definitely get lost.
However, Xiao Fan felt relieved when he realized that these roads were for robots.
Shasha and the others seemed to be very familiar with the Underground City's routes, leading Xiao Fan and his group left and right, occasionally even taking an elevator down.
Finally, they saw a silver city wall made of steel.
Shasha pointed to the city wall in front of her, without saying a word.
Xiao Fan guessed what she meant.
Once you cross the city wall, you'll be in the Safe Zone!
Although the city gate was open, many patrolmen could be seen both on and off the city walls.
Getting out won't be easy.
"I'll distract them, you guys run first."
Dingding suddenly spoke.
Before Xiao Fan and the others could react, the voice of the Mastermind Yuan Yi, came from above the city.
Warning! Warning! Complete Human detected. Everyone, eliminate immediately!
Warning! Warning! Complete Human detected. Everyone, eliminate immediately!
"You guys run!"
Dingding saw the patrolmen on the other side of the city wall running in this direction and, sure enough, spoke up.
Be careful.
Dingding tapped his head with his index and middle fingers together, striking a cool pose.
"Hmph~ Come on, chase me!"
Seeing the approaching patrolmen, Dingding whistled at them, and then four wheels appeared on his shoes, turning them into roller skates.
Dingding immediately took off his helmet and threw it aside, then stepped on his roller skates and ran in the opposite direction from the city wall.
Warning! Warning! Complete Human detected. Everyone, eliminate immediately!
Warning! Warning! Complete Human detected. Everyone, eliminate immediately!
Yuan Yi's voice kept ringing out.
All the patrols on and around the city walls chased after Dingding.
Shasha turned around and gestured to Xiao Fan and the others to hurry up.
He then ran towards the city wall, with Xiao Fan and the others quickly following behind.
Boom~
An explosion came from the direction Dingding had left. Blade Shadow couldn't help but turn around and look.
Many Cleaner and aircraft in the sky were rushing towards the direction Dingding had left.
The figure of the Blade Shadow slowed his pace.
Dingding lured the enemy away to cover their escape; wouldn't it be disloyal for them to just leave like that? Would they even be considered men?
"Jiu Chen, is it really okay for us to just leave him like this?"
The moment Blade Shadow opened his mouth, Xiao Fan knew things were going to get bad!
Sure enough, Yuan Yi's voice rang out the next second.
Warning! Warning! Complete Human detected. Close the city walls!
Warning! Warning! Complete Human detected. Close the city walls!
The city wall was less than a hundred meters away from them. As Yuan Yi's voice rang out, the city wall slowly closed.
"Run!"
At this point, Shasha no longer cared about concealing her identity.
With a shout, four wheels appeared on her shoes, and she sped towards the city wall at incredible speed.
Blade Shadow finally realized the enormity of his mistake and dared not mention saving anyone again, his face flushed as he followed behind.
Xiao Fan dared not hold back any longer and immediately activated the skill <The Gift of the Saint>, causing the entire team to accelerate and run towards the city wall.
When Shasha saw Xiao Fan and the others suddenly accelerate, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes behind her mask, but she didn't have time to think about it further.
The city gates closed slowly; in just a few seconds, Xiao Fan and his group had already reached the gates.
Just then, a patrol arrived and blocked the city gate.
"Grass!"
A Shasha curse came from ahead.
She clenched her fists, raised her hands, and then suddenly lowered them, two Light Sword appearing in her hands.
With a casual chop, the two patrolmen in front of her were instantly torn to pieces.
The movements were clean and efficient!
This was in stark contrast to the previous time when a single Blade Shadow nearly killed him.
Xiao Fan looked at the Light Sword that suddenly appeared in Shasha's hand.
The sword's blade is composed of blue light, making it very beautiful.
Importantly, these swords can easily damage the robots in the Underground City.
The situation was critical, and another group of patrolmen arrived. Xiao Fan didn't have time to think further.
Shasha's Light Sword was powerful, but it was still struggling to deal with so many robots.
With only about a meter of width left at the city gate, Xiao Fan used the skill <Sun and Moon Rotation> on the pile of robots.
The combination of light and fire attributes can easily destroy a robot's system.
"What... what is this?" Shasha swallowed hard, staring in shock at the group of wrecked robots, even forgetting to swing her Light Sword.
"Could it be a superpower of humans from the future?"
Although Xiao Fan's skill didn't disable all the patrolmen, it did open a path, enough for them to escape.
"What are you standing there for? Run!"
Xiao Fan rushed towards the city gate, but saw that Shasha was standing still, so he shouted at her impatiently.
Bang~
As the city gates closed.
Everyone was bent over, panting heavily.
"I'm sorry, this time it was my fault." Blade Shadow lowered his head, not daring to look at the crowd.
If he hadn't spoken, they wouldn't have been discovered by Yuan Yi.
What if a teammate dies because of his mistake... Blade Shadow doesn't even want to think about it.
Fortunately, they are all alright.
Xiao Fan remained silent, and the atmosphere within the group became tense.
"It's not safe here. Let's leave the city gate first," Shasha said.
Where's Dingding? Aren't we waiting for him?
Xiao Fan suddenly spoke.
"Don't worry, Dingding will be fine. Those robots in the Underground City are just playing him for fools. If we hadn't brought you guys with us, we wouldn't have been chased so badly this time."
Xiao Fan noticed that Shasha's tone was relaxed, and she didn't seem to be lying.
Thinking about it, Dingding was her companion; if she weren't truly safe, she probably wouldn't have left.
After pausing for a moment, Xiao Fan and the others followed Shasha and continued walking until they came to a cliff ahead.
"We've arrived," Shasha said.
Xiao Fan:???
What do you mean? Don't tell him this cliff is the so-called Safe Zone. Is that even plausible?
Besides, isn't this underground? How can there be a cliff? Does that make sense?
Cloud Sea has been deteriorating lately; even this kind of vulnerability can appear.
Blade Shadow and his group clearly didn't want to believe this was Safe Zone either.
"Hey girl, isn't this a cliff? Where are we? Stop messing around."
Brave Ox Ox stepped forward, glanced down at the cliff, and took two steps back in fright.
"Oh my god! It's so deep! It scared me to death!"
Shasha rolled her eyes.
"Yuan Yi's perception range is very wide; only by going down a cliff can one escape its detection."
"But... this cliff is so deep, how are we going to get down?"
"There's a steel chain below this spot. We just need to slide down it; it's very simple."
Shasha pointed to the ground beneath her feet.
"Hehe, that's not difficult at all. Is it guaranteed?" Brave Ox Ox asked shyly.
"Smooth."
After players enhance their attributes, climbing down the cliff is not difficult.
"This is Dr. Ai Zone. Dr. Ai is the most knowledgeable among all the doctors. I'll take you to see him. You can ask him any questions about history."
Shasha led the way.
Hearing her say that, Xiao Fan quickly thanked her, his eyes constantly scanning his surroundings.
The environment below the cliff is worlds apart from that of the Underground City.
The house was small, the ground was wet, and overhead were thick, old pipes with white smoke rising from the joints.
Is this the Safe Zone for Complete Human life?
That's so tragic!
What exactly is happening in this world? Why is the Cyberpunk city a desert, while the robots live in magnificent, technologically advanced Underground City?
The humans who created them, however, lived like rats in a sewer, beneath this dilapidated cliff.
As they walked, Xiao Fan's expression grew increasingly somber.
The so-called Safe Zone was practically deserted; it was so empty you could even hear the dripping of water.
Along the way, Xiao Fan only saw a few children, around seven or eight years old, cautiously observing them from the shadows.
I heard from Shasha before that Yuan Yi ruled half the planet.
Xiao Fan originally thought that the other half of the planet belonged to a world inhabited by Complete Human.
It turned out he was overthinking it.
No wonder Shasha didn't answer him back then.
"Perhaps Complete Human was nearly wiped out by Yuan Yi long ago."
Dr. Ai's residence is just ahead.
Shasha pointed to a dilapidated laboratory in front of her and explained.
The metal sheeting on the exterior wall is rusted, and some of the pipes above are leaking.
It's hard to imagine that this is the lab of the most brilliant PhD in the Safe Zone.
The living environment for Complete Human is even more difficult than Xiao Fan imagined.
There was a security checkpoint-like frame at the entrance of the laboratory. Watching Shasha pass through the frame, Xiao Fan followed.
"No God Demon Stone detected in the body. Complete Human, pass!"
