Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring’
Chapter 350 - 350 350 Xin Yang

350: Chapter 350: Xin Yang 350: Chapter 350: Xin Yang “You need to run!”

Qian Chengxue gritted her teeth and shouted.

Su Mo certainly knew that every second he lingered, the risk of being caught increased.

But he didn’t hesitate and rushed straight towards Qian Chengxue.

Seeing Su Mo not heeding her advice and instead coming to rescue her, Qian Chengxue struggled even harder.

At this moment, Su Mo charged forward, wielding Ink Frost fiercely, and with two or three swings, he brought down the townspeople who had grabbed Qian Chengxue.

Qian Chengxue forcefully broke free of her restraints.

Then, the two of them bolted.

This area was dense with buildings, so the alleyways were interconnected, offering many possible escape routes.

But no matter how they tried to flee, their enemies always seemed to trap them with precision.

“How do they seem to know where we’ll run before we do?”

Qian Chengxue also realized something was amiss.

“This is the Mechanical Kingdom, and we’re right in their stronghold.

There are probably surveillance eyes everywhere.

If they couldn’t find us, that would truly be a miracle.”

Su Mo certainly understood the reason, but understanding was one thing; the feeling of helplessness was downright despairing.

At that moment, a clamor came from not far off.

“Go!

They’re catching up again.”

Su Mo, with Qian Chengxue in tow, turned into another alleyway.

But the moment they charged into this alley, Su Mo and Qian Chengxue both froze – they had run into a dead end.

Su Mo’s mind went blank.

Then, as expected, groups of townspeople and Slaughter Puppet Mechanical Dolls came rushing over.

But the narrow alley was empty.

…

The townspeople and Slaughter Puppet Mechanical Dolls continuously scanned the surroundings and, after confirming multiple times that no one was hiding, they dispersed to search other areas.

Beneath the deserted alleyway, Su Mo and Qian Chengxue lay motionless, breathing very slowly, with a dirty-looking boy crouched next to them.

Just when Su Mo and Qian Chengxue had nowhere to turn, the lid on the ground surface was suddenly lifted, and this little boy had saved them.

After listening intently and confirming that there was no movement outside, it seemed that those people had gone far away.

Su Mo and Qian Chengxue both let out a sigh of relief at the same time.

“Big brother, big sister, are you a couple?”

The boy squatting next to them suddenly asked with great interest.

This question instantly made Su Mo and Qian Chengxue very awkward.

Su Mo explained somewhat unnaturally.

“No, we’re not.”

“Oh, I thought you were because you seem so close, and your actions are so in sync,” said the boy cheerfully.

Su Mo couldn’t help but inwardly criticize.

Were kids these days so precocious?

But as much as he felt like complaining, Su Mo still politely thanked the boy.

“Thank you for saving us.

What’s your name?

Are you a survivor from here?”

“My name is Xin Yang, I’m a survivor, I guess.”

Xin Yang replied very happily.

“So, you’re human?”

Qian Chengxue asked in surprise.

Xin Yang shook his head, he touched his forehead and lifted his skull, revealing the mechanical parts inside as he replied.

“I am also a Mechanical Man.”

Su Mo and Qian Chengxue were also taken aback, their minds filled with confusion.

They could be sure that Xin Yang in front of them meant no harm.

If he was an enemy, there would have been no need to save them, but he was also a Mechanical Man?

“Then why did you save us?”

Su Mo asked, not understanding.

“That’s because I’m not like the other Mechanical Men outside.

I think independently.

Look at the back of my head, it’s broken.

My central conduction device was damaged in an accident, and I can’t receive signals from the terminal anymore.

So, my personality became independent, while everyone else outside is controlled by the central artificial intelligence, Engrossed.”

Xin Yang began to explain.

The more Su Mo and Qian Chengxue listened, the more astonished they became.

Qian Chengxue asked earnestly.

“Xin Yang, can you tell us everything that has happened here from the beginning?

What’s going on exactly?”

“Sure!

No problem at all.”

Xin Yang nodded emphatically.

“This is Praying Dragon City in Dragon Country.

Our Dragon Country was once the strongest nation on this planet.

As our technological civilization developed, our planet was plunged into continuous warfare, completely destroying the ecological environment, although the wars eventually stopped.

However, our living environment became increasingly harsh, and later, a terrifying virus outbreak happened.”

“How did you all become Mechanical Men, and what’s with the many Alien Species Monsters that fill the outside world?

Some don’t look like they were transformed from humans.”

Su Mo asked, not understanding.

“It was like this, our civilization was facing extinction.

An existence from a high-dimensional civilization extended an olive branch to us, giving us a new hope.

So, our entire nation entered the Star Ring and participated in the competition for the Earth Cup.”

Xin Yang continued to explain.

“What?

You participated in the Star Ring?”

Su Mo and Qian Chengxue were too shocked to speak.

“That’s right, we participated in the Earth Cup and even achieved quite favorable results.

Furthermore, we qualified for the Heavenly Cup.”

Xin Yang said proudly.

“Then later, did you participate in the Heavenly Cup?”

Qian Chengxue asked hastily.

At this point, Xin Yang shook his head, looking somewhat sad, “We didn’t participate in the Heavenly Cup.

To be precise, we were deserters.”

“Why?”

“Because the Heavenly Cup is different from the Earth Cup.

The Earth Cup was just a warm-up.

Win or lose, there was still a chance.

But the Heavenly Cup is completely different.

Although our situation was extremely bad back then, the upper-class nobles were living very comfortably.

They had money and everything they wanted.

How could they possibly be willing to take a risk?

So, at the last moment, they chose to avoid it.”

“I don’t know if it was because we deserted, or if we were being punished or something, but suddenly, many terrifying Monsters that we had never seen before just popped up in the world.

We could only keep resisting, but then the virus mutated again.

A large number of people got infected and died, and the dead began to turn into Monsters.

Our defenses in various regions collapsed, our territory kept falling, and the surviving people began to flee here.

We set up our last line of defense here and also established our final paradise, Praying Dragon City.”

Xin Yang seemed to sink into deep memories.

“And after that?”

“You should also understand, the so-called paradise is just an isolated island, its downfall was only a matter of time.

Panic spread among all the people’s hearts, and just when everyone was about to fall apart, a Mad Researcher named Luo De emerged among the upper echelons.

He presented a technological breakthrough won from the Earth Cup, proposing a terrifying concept.

Suffering in the flesh, ascend in machinery!

In his propaganda, as long as we discarded our bodies and converted into pure Mechanical Men, we could become a new race.

We would no longer have to worry about lifespan, viruses, or harsh environments.

We would be reborn and become the new Sovereign of this world.”

Xin Yang said in a grave tone.
