Liu Yun stood before the Excalibur Brave starship currently under construction. This warship was not only a symbol of his strength but also his solid foundation for exploring the universe and protecting his home.

However, after confirming that the various systems of the warship had undergone preliminary testing, he began to consider leaving; the construction of such a vessel could never be completed in a single day. He reached out to the core of the new base, retrieved the fully charged Machine Race Clone, and began to plan for more distant goals.

Now that the base had been upgraded, the energy for the Machine Race Clone had also received a more powerful replenishment, with the energy in the Crystal Ball reaching one-millionth of its total capacity.

The original body of the clone was incredibly powerful, so one-millionth was already an excellent result. Moreover, this was energy accumulated after two months of continuous charging, and Liu Yun was already very satisfied!

Of course, Liu Yun could try to build some War God Class Combat Robots; building a dozen or so would be no problem. But if he wanted to supply them in large quantities and mass-produce War God Class Combat Robots and warships, the biggest problem he faced was the insufficient supply of raw materials.

As long as Liu Yun utilized his technological capabilities, he could soon reach the point of swaying the entire human society. This was what Liu Yun had always emphasized: his super-strong technological capabilities could quickly break the balance of power in human society. The ability to influence human society was the most terrifying aspect of the Mechanical Base.

In this process, Liu Yun would become the center of every storm, easily obtaining endless resources.

"Portal, activate to Monster Town." Liu Yun commanded softly. Instantly, the air around him rippled, and a beam of light enveloped him. The next moment, he appeared at the old site of the base in Monster Town.

In reality, this place had not been abandoned; it was just that, aside from the defense systems, most things had been moved away. At a critical moment, it would still serve as their important retreat.

"It seems this place needs some new planning." Liu Yun thought to himself. He had several Machine Race Clones maintain patrols and updated the fire points, just in case he couldn't make it in Jiangnan City and needed a place to escape to.

He then withdrew and left, passing the base's verification, and returned to the base city. He thought it was time to head back to his villa.

"What is Little Red doing now? Is she throwing another tantrum? I told her to watch the house, and I don't even know if she listened to me."

Liu Yun thought of his battle pet, the Undying Bird Little Red, and felt a bit amused. He hadn't brought her along on this trip, and she had thrown a tantrum, completely ignoring him.

Before leaving, Liu Yun had told Little Red to watch the house, but he didn't know how well she had carried out the task. He had Cell Evolution Fluid, which was also useful for the beast race, and in the future, he could slowly help her evolve to the point where she could speak.

"How can the female lead of this book not even be able to speak human language!"

Liu Yun laughed at the thought of Little Red and walked straight back. At this moment, the crystal on his chest transmitted a message.

"Warning: Your residence has been attacked, and the stationed combat unit, the Undying Bird, has been killed!"

Liu Yun's smile froze instantly, and his heart tightened violently. The news from the crystal on his chest was like a bolt from the blue, leaving him in disbelief. The Undying Bird Little Red, his most cherished battle pet, had actually been attacked during his absence, and... killed?

While a stormy sea of rage surged in Liu Yun's heart, a fierce battle had just concluded on the battlefield at his villa.

The battle began on a quiet afternoon, with the Undying Bird Little Red circling above the villa, guarding this territory. However, suddenly, several uninvited guests arrived at Liu Yun's residence under the instructions of the HR Alliance.

Little Red saw this and thought, how dare they break in! She lunged down viciously, intending to drive these people away; she didn't understand what the HR Alliance was.

"Chirp..."

Little Red attacked the four people relentlessly. The four of them recognized Little Red and frequently called out her name, but unfortunately, Little Red was not familiar with them.

"It's just a battle pet, probably something Liu Yun had left over. Let's attack together and kill it!"

Yang Xiaolong was provoked into a rage. Little Red was going for the kill, and the others showed strong agreement.

Thus, Ruby made the first move. Her Red Great Scythe drew a brilliant arc in the air, carrying the power to tear through space as it headed straight for Little Red. Little Red flapped her wings and soared high, avoiding the fatal blow, while simultaneously spitting out scorching flames in an attempt to force the enemies back.

But the battle was far from over. Yang Xiaolong followed closely, her figure like golden lightning. The Arm Gauntlets on her fists flashed with dazzling light, and every punch was accompanied by a deafening sonic boom, striking directly at Little Red's vitals. Little Red dodged nimbly, her wings beating against the air to stir up waves of heat, attempting to force back this powerful melee opponent with a firestorm.

Blacka searched for an opportunity on the side, her black tight-fitting combat suit blending into the night; only her cold eyes and the Straight Blade gripped in her hand revealed her presence. She moved like a ghost, approaching Little Red silently, and swung her blade, aiming straight for its heart. Relying on her keen intuition, Little Red dodged to the side at the last moment, her wings of fire slamming into the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust and sparks.

Finally, Xueni gently waved the Rose Rapier in her hand, and a complex carved pattern appeared in the air, like an invisible net, slowly closing in on Little Red.

Poor Little Red sensed the danger, but she was already trapped. The power of the carvings gradually restricted her movements, and her flames grew dim.

Just at this life-or-death moment, Little Red erupted with unprecedented power. She let out a long cry toward the sky, and her wings of fire spread out violently, as if to ignite the entire sky. A powerful force surged from within her body, instantly breaking free from the shackles of the carvings. The flames surged once more, enveloping the surrounding enemies.

However, this was merely a final flash of brilliance. Under the tacit cooperation of Ruby, Yang Xiaolong, Blacka, and Xueni, Little Red was ultimately defeated and tragically sacrificed!

Ruby felt a bit embarrassed; she hadn't intended to kill it, as the battle pet was, after all, Liu Yun's property.

"Isn't it bad for us to do this? We should have left it with a breath of life!"

Her words made the other three shake their heads repeatedly; they didn't think they had done anything wrong.

"Even if this Liu Yun is a War God, he shouldn't be raising such a ferocious beast general within the base. What if it rushed out and killed someone? We killed it in self-defense. Don't worry, we won't be in any trouble!"

Xueni said this, and while the words weren't entirely wrong, Little Red had always been obedient to Liu Yun and, aside from throwing tantrums, had never attacked humans! This time, fighting the group of four was simply a matter of duty. No matter what, Liu Yun would not let this go.

The "green tea" ancestor Glinda was next door. She stepped over quickly in her high heels, looking at Little Red, who lay on the ground and had already breathed her last, with an ugly expression on her face.

"You came to ask for favors, so how could you do this? Forget it, I'll pay for this loss on your behalf!"

She certainly didn't think it was a big deal, but after all, a battle pet was a martial artist's property, and many of the flowers and plants in this villa had been burned as well. She prepared herself to pay for the damages.

Liu Yun rushed to the villa, his heart burning with anxiety. The scene before him made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. Little Red, who should have been full of vitality and soaring in the sky, now lay quietly there, her feathers stained with spots of blood. Those eyes that once shone with scorching light were tightly closed, never to open again.

"Little Red..." Liu Yun's voice trembled. He walked over slowly, unable to believe everything before him. He knelt on the ground and gently picked up Little Red's body, feeling only the cold touch and the life that no longer pulsed.

Tears welled up and blurred his vision. He hugged Little Red tightly, as if trying to pass all his warmth and strength to her, but he could no longer wake the friend who had fought alongside him and spent countless days and nights with him.

Even with the Machine Race Clone, he could not save Little Red. The female lead of a generation had perished, and Liu Yun let out a furious roar!

"I will make you pay in blood!"
