Chapter 187: 176 forward four

The silhouette in midair was trailed by a set of thin, sharp, black wing-shaped knives.

It was none other than White Wax in her complete form—the Dark Eagle who had just departed!

Boom!

White Wax brake into an arc in midair, raising her guns and firing a shot at Rainbow Candy.

With a thud, the bullet slammed into the air a meter in front of Rainbow Candy and was deflected, flying off course by an invisible force field.

"We’ve used up a third of the backup energy! We can take at most two more shots!" Dragon Gate Crane shouted loudly.

"It doesn’t matter," Rainbow Candy lowered her hands, "it’s already over."

Several high-speed drones had already approached White Wax, swarming her from all sides like a hive of bees.

Boom!!

An explosion with a diameter of over ten meters bloomed in midair.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

Not just once, continuous violent explosions appeared in midair as if money were no object.

The massive sound waves and flames sprayed out a shower of sparks. Before they could ignite the surrounding forest, mechanical spiders on the ground sprayed pre-loaded venom to extinguish the fire.

"This is the victory of money," Rainbow Candy sighed. "I really spent a fortune on this one."

"But Sister Tang, I think you’re so cool!" Dragon Gate Crane earnestly said from behind.

"Do I need you to tell me I’m cool?" Rainbow Candy retorted with a slap.

"Hey, Sister Tang, you can’t be so violent. What if nobody wants you in the future?" His forehead rang with a thud from the slap, and he quickly followed up with a plaintive remark.

"If nobody wants me, I’ll have you castrated, turned into a girl, and thrown in a buy-one-get-one-free deal with me!" Rainbow Candy said impatiently.

Buzz!

Suddenly, a faint vibration came from the distant sky.

In the slowly dispersing smoke in midair,

A dark shadow burst forth with a whoosh, speeding directly towards the two.

"You two bastards! Die!!"

White Wax hadn’t died after all! Although her wings had been blasted off and she was littered with damage all over, the gun in her hand had been twisted and was smoking.

But indeed she hadn’t died, and the damage was only minor.

Overall, her functions were still intact, and her strength remained.

In that instant,

The nearly hundred-meter distance between her and the two shrank rapidly as she flew toward them.

From activation, to acceleration, to the diving leap.

One second.

"Blast!"

Rainbow Candy lifted her head, her red lips parting slightly.

In an instant, dozens of small spiders that had already climbed to the treetops leaped into action, hurtling towards White Wax like lightning.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

A new round of explosions commenced.

This time was different from before as if something strange was mixed in.

"Using an electronic device, it’s not a top-tier product from White Star, it has flaws, and you dare to show off in front of me?" Rainbow Candy watched the explosion in midair, reached into her pocket, pulled out a piece of bubble gum, unwrapped it, and popped it into her mouth.

"After all, it was mentioned it’s a victory of money." She turned and walked in the other direction.

"Let’s go."

Dragon Gate Crane, his head still buzzing from the blast—though protected by the dismantled Force Field Generator—felt it was a bit too much to handle.

"Oh... Okay," he hastily pulled out the generator and scrambled to follow.

Thump.

Behind them,

A mechanical torso, blasted to only half its size, tumbled down, its sharp broken surface piercing into the soil.

A small silver spider quickly crawled over, its crimson electronic eyes flickering.

"Master is too wasteful, this guy still has White Star imported modules on him. Pick them up and repair them, they might be useful."

The little spider emitted a faint electronic sound.

Immediately, two armed mechanical soldiers stepped forward, knelt down, and started to disassemble White Wax’s body.

"Sister Tang, where are we going now? We had agreed with Brother Cheng to split up, but what’s our plan of action? You’re the captain, give us some orders," Dragon Gate Crane asked carefully, following behind.

"Of course, we’re heading to our base here," Rainbow Candy said as a matter of course.

"Base? We have such a thing? Isn’t this in the middle of nowhere?" Dragon Gate Crane didn’t understand.

"Of course, there is, you fool! You didn’t think all the times I ran back and forth here were just a waste of time and effort, did you?" Rainbow Candy said impatiently.

"For this endeavour, I’ve put my entire fortune on the line! Whoever dares to mess with us this time is seeking death!!" She said fiercely.

"Sister Tang is so badass!!" Dragon Gate Crane, looking at the figure of Rainbow Candy walking in front, suddenly felt a deep sense of security welling up inside him.

That warm, strong, and solid sense of security made him involuntarily reminisce about his mother...

His face suddenly stiffened, and he quickly shook his head vigorously to discard the absurd thought.

"Follow me. In just three days with the help of engineering robots, I’ve carved out a decent underground base. But if we can do it, so can others. This place definitely has a base for that group just now, and it’s surely bigger than ours. So we must be careful!" Rainbow Candy said earnestly.

"Understood!" Dragon Gate Crane nodded firmly.

"Let’s go check on Xiao Zhong; he’s at the base helping me with the supercomputer."

"Huh? Supercomputer?"

"My dad gave it to me. He also threw in an extra three billion, which I’ve all spent here," said Rainbow Candy nonchalantly.

"Father-in-law..."

Bang!

Dragon Gate Crane was punched in the forehead, the pain rendering him speechless.

But pain couldn’t immunize him from the shock at that moment.

A supercomputer, given just like that?!

And an additional three billion in funds?!

What is this, a trip by a top-tier heiress from a wealthy family?!

He had thought his own family was quite well-off and had some money. But compared to her, it was just a drop in the ocean.

And then there was Da Xiong; he had always felt Da Xiong was wealthy, but compared to Sister Tang, it wasn’t even on the same level.

No wonder Da Xiong always took Sister Tang as the leader in everything.

In the midst of the fog.

Li Chengyi withdrew his hand.

He wouldn’t rashly choose this Flower Language Technique with unclear abilities before he fully understood it.

Standing up, he retracted his gaze and continued forward.

"Brother, it seems like the fog has cleared up a lot," Yserine said at this moment.

Li Chengyi paused, looked around, and indeed found it to be so.

The fog all around him was thinner than before, and he could now vaguely see the objects along the path ahead.

About two hundred meters ahead lay a wide asphalt road.

The road was quiet.

There were no vehicles, no pedestrians, no reptiles; apart from some scattered white tussocks, there was only grey-black soil debris.

Li Chengyi quickened his pace, and within a short while, he was on this road.

"This must be Kangshan Boulevard near Yunshan County, the only ground road in and out of this area," Li Chengyi took out his phone, trying to bring up the offline map.

But regrettably, the impact here on technological products was even greater than all the blind spots he had encountered before.

Aside from the main interface where he could check the time, he couldn’t access any other apps.

"Brother, look ahead. The fog has cleared! As soon as we got on this road, the fog in front completely dispersed!" Suddenly, Yserine cried out from behind him.

Hearing this, Li Chengyi quickly looked forward.

Indeed.

Far ahead, where there had just been dense fog, everything had now cleared.

A clear grey city emerged at the end of the road.

From here, he could only see the vague outlines of dense buildings.

Those houses were like distant mountains of varied heights, just faint silhouettes stretching from left to right, occupying the entire horizontal line of sight.

Li Chengyi lowered his head to look at the road under his feet.

The surface was clean, grey-black in color, with a white line dividing it down the middle.

"This blind spot is huge," Yserine exclaimed.

"Yeah... it’s very big," Li Chengyi nodded and quickened his steps forward.

He didn’t know how much longer his Flash Appearance would last, but a city within a blind spot was something he definitely needed to explore thoroughly.

This was an important opportunity to further understand the blind spots.

With his current speed, if he ran at full speed, he would certainly reach it very soon.

But this was a blind spot, where every step required constant vigilance, so Li Chengyi didn’t move fast.

It took a full fifteen minutes to cover about three hundred meters.

At this point, patches of white metal signposts began to appear on the left.

Some were covered in messy doodles of various colors, like the casual scribblings of a child.

But on others, there were clear writings, in a script that Li Chengyi could not understand.

He stopped beneath one that obviously had careful writing, looking up at the white sign.

"Yserine, do you recognize what’s written there?"

"It’s the Black Sea Script, I know it. Hold on, brother," Yserine stopped, and there were a few seconds of silence.

"I’ll read it to you, brother."

"Yun...shan... welcomes... you."

"Yunshan!?" Li Chengyi’s eyes narrowed. "Are you sure you read that correctly?"

"I can’t be wrong, those two characters are simple and clear on the sign," Yserine responded.

Yunshan...

Li Chengyi looked towards the city buildings in front of the road; this Yunshan seemed to have a much larger scale than the real one...

Suddenly, his vision began to blur and distort.

"We’re leaving," he warned Yserine, so she wouldn’t stray from him and be left behind alone in this place.

"Understood, brother!"

No sooner had the words left her mouth than Li Chengyi’s vision flickered, returning to a panorama of green... scorched black?

Scorched black??!

He looked around.

Surrounding trees were either broken off or charred.

Compared to the dense woodland further away, this area appeared as if ice cream had been scooped out of it, leaving a bowl-shaped depression.

"Garden Master."

Suddenly, a mechanical electronic voice came from behind.

Li Chengyi turned his head and saw a green drone flying towards him, stopping to hover in the air.

"After you entered the blind spot, there was another attack by a Dark Eagle complete form, which has now been resolved by Rainbow Candy," the drone reported.

Another complete form?!

Li Chengyi was startled at first, but then he was somewhat surprised and reassured to hear that Rainbow Candy had resolved it.

"Where are they now?"

"They have already headed to Flower Court. According to the original plan, after the layout here is completed, they will meet up with the other two," the drone replied.

"Good. Send me the constructed real-time map," Li Chengyi said.

"Alright."

Soon, a real-time war map, just constructed via the drone and spider swarm, was transmitted into Li Chengyi’s AR glasses.

He quickly scanned it; in the Wolf Cave area, a considerable number of life signs had already gathered.

And the mechanical spiders and drones had already scattered to surround the neighborhood.

"Good work, Cucumber."

"No need for thanks, it’s part of my duty," the AI responded. "Also, the master has given me a new name."

"Oh? What is it?"

"Rose. The master has also promised to make me a human body in the future," the AI answered.

"May your wish come true, Rose."

Li Chengyi turned and left in the direction of Wolf Cave. His figure swept quickly through the trees and disappeared into the woods in the blink of an eye.

"Thank you."

The drone’s electronic eyes flashed red as it turned and flew away.
