Chapter 246: Chapter 135 Death Mark_2

"The vertical eye appeared for the third time in relation to it, and its specialized ability is the underground surge, capable of resisting the powerful earth pressure, creating sturdy temporary pathways in the earth’s crust, leading a small group of Blade Beasts past our defenses,"

"Moreover, it is the seventh independent King-level Blade Beast clan, and the six King-level Blade Beasts we previously monitored are not of this type."

"It is quite targeted, isn’t it?"

Daoist chuckled, pondering continuously in his heart.

Deep Sea asked, "So what do we do now?"

"Has Fortress 82 begun evacuating?"

"It has already started, with high-value production equipment and technicians being relocated earlier."

Deep Sea said gravely:

"However, our rear transport capabilities are limited, almost all resources have been diverted to various frontlines, and the strategic significance of the outer defensive lines is greater. Now it will still take about six days to evacuate everyone, but the Blade Beasts’ attack is predicted to start in four days."

"According to our wartime evacuation laws, children, scientific researchers, females with reproductive capability, high-tech workers, and general industrial workers are evacuated in order of priority."

"Thus, when the Blade Beasts launch a full-scale offensive, Fortress 82 will retain some of the industrial population and the residents of the Lower City."

"Additionally, 89 percent of the elderly from the Upper City Sanatorium have jointly signed a voluntary document to guard the fortress, applying to be the last to evacuate."

Wang Jixuan: ...

Lingtong added, "One point of concern now is that the seventh King-level might directly attack you or Fortress 82, presumably identifying you as a Spirit Cultivator, their nemesis, and considering Fortress 82 as your lair."

Deep Sea continued, "Also... the activity level of the main Blade Beast Group has increased by nine percent."

Wang Jixuan remained silent.

He had earlier thought that if he couldn’t stay in the fortress, he would just take off and try his chances at survival in the wild.

But now it seems...

’The wilderness is too dangerous; better to advance and retreat together with human civilization.’

Even if there were no Black Storm misidentifying him as a Spirit Cultivator, the test of human civilization dealing with the Brain-eating Worm incident alone, as long as he went hunting Blade Beasts for their Crystal Cores, the Blade Beast Group would eventually take notice of him, his various cultivation techniques coincidentally similar to those of the Spirit Cultivation Civilization."

Concerned about the pressure on Wang Jixuan, Lingtong stepped forward, her mechanical hand resting lightly on his shoulder, and said softly,

"Don’t worry too much, the Commander has decided to initiate part of the reserved measures intended to eradicate the Dominion Faction of the Spiritual Ability City. We can win this war, and humanity will also win this war."

"Mm, thank you for the encouragement, Officer,"

Wang Jixuan smiled and said:

"Actually, I was thinking about how to kill this King-level Blade Beast."

"With a large-scale attack from the Blade Beast Group on the periphery, as long as we hold this off, wouldn’t the environment in the D5 Battle Zone be much better afterward?"

"These are all interrelated."

"This time, we might actually utilize this item."

He pointed to the tracking drone and black box over his head.

"Utilize?" Deep Sea asked, puzzled.

"Fishing, really. I’m now the bait, and the big fish has taken the hook; it’s just a matter of whether we have the capacity to swallow this big fish or not,"

The Daoist rose, pretending to be casual as he patted his palms, looking at the three individuals before him.

Lingtong, Wu Man, Deep Sea.

"Time is pressing, we will assume that after the Blade Beast Group completes its assembly, they will attack, and the seventh King Beast will strike me and Fortress 82 once the D5 goes into full war mode. Then we will use all the firepower we can muster, all available resources, to ambush them, to crush them,"

Lingtong hummed lightly: "It won’t be easy to fight; the Horror Mecha can only defend the frontlines, we might as well go to the frontlines and give up Fortress 82 altogether."

Deep Sea explained, "The security of the frontlines affects five regional battle zones, sixteen mega-populated fortresses, and over forty industrial fortresses."

"Without the Horror Mecha, then use... the Spirit Cultivation Technology whose principle I can’t reveal to you all just yet!"

Wang Jixuan almost laughed at himself.

The identity of a Spirit Cultivator is quite useful, endorsed by the Blade Beasts, allowing human civilization to accept it quickly.

"Wu Man, you now have half an hour to learn how to make this paper talisman; it’s an important offensive tool of the Spirit Cultivation Civilization."

"Brother Deep Sea, next you and Red Snake will join me in the forges; we need to hasten the production of more Crystal Core Weapons, which are different from the non-Crystal Core Spiritual Power Weapons that Uncle Tai and the others are developing."

"Lingtong, Officer, I will teach you how to tune these Array Plates."

The three nodded in unison.

Wang Jixuan said earnestly, "These artifacts were supposed to be passed on to you when I became more powerful because in the hands of Spirit Ability Users, they could lead to catastrophic consequences."

"Don’t worry," Deep Sea chuckled, "our mechanical arms are like mini nuclear bombs, capable of self-destruction."

Wu Man also said, "I have already applied to have a self-destruct chip installed in my neck."

Wang Jixuan: ...

"Actually, it doesn’t need to be that extreme..."

"This is a necessary precaution."

Lingtong’s delicate face was serious:

"I will protect this hope of human civilization with my life and faith."

The door to the workshop opened, and Combat Girl Chi Snake, dressed only in a bikini, walked out, frowning at the people and complaining:

"How much longer are you going to discuss? Everything is ready over here! You really want me to do all the hard work by myself? There’s no door!"

"Hey! Wife!"

Deep Sea leaped forward energetically, swiftly taking off his own T-shirt and putting it on Chi Snake.

"Hey, what are you doing, this is normal beachwear!"

"This isn’t a beach!"

"It’s super hot inside!"

"Then I’ll bring over an air conditioner!"

"You’re so tacky," Chi Snake rolled her eyes and turned back to continue working on the ore.

Wang Jixuan and Lingtong exchanged glances, and he instinctively eyed Lingtong’s figure before quickly looking away.

Well, as long as she doesn’t wear such beachwear openly, it’s fine.

"Wu Man, come with me first, I’ll teach you how to make two types of paper talismans that we’ll be using a lot later. This involves the use of Qi."

Half an hour later, the clanging sounds of forging filled the workshop.

Inside the D5 battle zone, a large amount of resources converged towards 76 and 82 fortresses in the Middle Ages Basin Battle Zone.

The vertical eye above Fortress 82 coldly watched over these remnants of humanity.

...

Ji Xiao woke up with swollen eyes from crying.

He curled up in a corner of the cell, constantly sobbing and wailing, enduring torture as if thousands of ants were gnawing at his heart, past memories piercing his heart like sharp blades, tormenting him every moment.

Bang!

Ji Xiao slammed against the alloy wall again, blood spurting from his forehead.

Outside the cell, Deep Sea arrived hurriedly, his face grimy and frowning at Ji Xiao, his facial muscles twitching.

Deep Sea looked at a nearby warrior: "He starts banging his head as soon as he wakes up?"

"As soon as he wakes up!"

The warrior swallowed:

"Like he’s gone mad, keeps slapping himself, crying loudly. I heard him saying he’s really worthless, not even human, just a scoundrel, seducing so many respectable women..."

Deep Sea rubbed his temples.

The continuous forging was also beginning to wear him out.

Deep Sea was starting to doubt whether Wang Zheng was even human.

Wang Zheng worked nonstop day and night without rest!

Every time Wang Zheng got tired, he would meditate cross-legged for a while, at most half an hour, then he’d spring back up, full of energy and bouncing off the walls!

As a married half-human mecha, Deep Sea was initially worried, hypothetically speaking, whether Wang Zheng could keep up with Lingtong’s stamina if they ever married. Now...

Deep Sea was actually worried that Wang Zheng’s excessive vigor could lead him to stray, potentially hurting Lingtong’s feelings.

However, for half-human mechas, love is just seasoning; their destiny is atop the mountains of Blade Beasts.

Bang, bang, bang!

Ji Xiao continuously slammed into the alloy wall, blood spattering, flesh blurred.

"Commander?" asked the warrior, "Should we stop him?"

"Knock him out and inject him with a sedative to stabilize his emotions quickly," Deep Sea said in a low voice:

"The battle is about to start, and if we can fully control this A-grade Spirit Ability User, he would be a good asset. If it comes to it, just let him die in the Blade Beast Tide to atone for his sins."

The soldier dared to ask a question he shouldn’t: "Why is he like this, Commander?"

"Because he is kind-hearted," Deep Sea replied, patting the soldier on the shoulder:

"Keep an eye on him, don’t let him really kill himself. I’m heading back to do more grunt work."

How could the words "grunt work" be associated with a half-human mecha commander?

The warrior’s forehead creased with more question marks, but he really didn’t dare ask anymore.

When Deep Sea returned to the workshop, he just caught the sound of a clear sword clang and Chi Snake’s somewhat exaggerated praise.
