Chapter 1283: Chapter 1283: Another Artificial Intelligence

Everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief as the bullets all plunged into the lake, ripples spreading across the surface, followed by splashes of water this time.

It was so realistic; even Gu Fan almost started to doubt his previous speculations.

Su Hui remarked, "The bullets didn’t leave a single mark on these screens; it seems that ordinary strength is not enough to break through them."

"What do we do, the screens are catching up, and we have nowhere to escape. Big brothers and sisters, can you think of something?" Lu Yi was anxious. He glanced at Gu Fan and then at Su Hui, seeing the pessimism on their faces, and suddenly Lu Yi’s heart sank.

Gu Fan sighed, "We do have a method, but it requires us to be on the brink of death to find a way to live."

Hearing this, everyone felt a surge of do-or-die determination and turned their eyes to Gu Fan.

Gu Fan continued, "I’m wondering, if I fall down there, whether I’ll be able to climb back up."

Su Hui understood, "These special screens, in their effort to engulf you, will definitely widen the gap to let the body sink through when they touch you. But once you’re below, if you try to get back up, they will surely become solid without any gaps, preventing you from coming up. That’s when you can attack."

"Exactly. I must go down first, then attack." Gu Fan rolled up his sleeves, ready to strike, while everyone looked at him with admiration, placing their hopes on him.

Suddenly, Gu Fan turned to Zhuo Hang, "Big brother, with your abilities, you can’t fail. You do it."

As expected, Su Hui, Lin Xi, Lu Yi, Ouyang Jin nearly couldn’t help laughing.

Zhuo Hang looked speechless. Gu Fan had been acting all heroic and self-sacrificing, and now what? They could have just let Zhuo Hang do it from the start.

"Alright, I’ll be right back." Zhuo Hang took a deep breath and then leaped down, using the falling force to stomp downwards vigorously.

As expected, Zhuo Hang’s body quickly passed through the lake surface as if he had really fallen into the water.

Su Hui watched the lake, then said, "It looks like our conjecture is correct. Zhuo Hang hasn’t come back up; this lake surface is really just an image projected by the screens."

Lu Yi, however, thought differently, "Maybe Zhuo Hang just can’t swim?"

"He’s lived for so long and can’t swim? That would be pretty useless." Though Su Hui made sense, the words sounded odd to hear.

Just when everyone was eagerly waiting, suddenly, with a loud boom, a hole was punched through the lake surface, and Zhuo Hang broke through one of the screens from below and immediately jumped out, gasping for air.

"Nicely done, I knew you could do it." Gu Fan and Su Hui cheered Zhuo Hang on in unison, and everyone else felt more secure.

And just like that, after Zhuo Hang continued to break through several screens, the lake seemed to sense something and immediately stopped rising, all screens shattering at the same time.

In an instant, the lake disappeared, the surrounding mountains vanished, the stars faded, and even the trees were gone.

Everyone was standing on pieces of columns, baffled, not understanding what was going on, where this place was.

In front of them wasn’t any kind of woodland; there was no sky, no earth, nothing at all. All there was a giant enclosed space, feeling as though they were inside a huge dome.

Gu Fan frowned and then was the first to leap down to the ground to thoroughly inspect the surroundings, but it was empty as far as the eye could see.

"When did we enter such a place, and we didn’t even notice?" Su Hui and Lin Xi also landed on the ground, their eyes full of caution.

Gu Fan shook his head, "I don’t know either. It seems that the screens created an environment almost identical to the original wilderness, causing us to enter here unwittingly."

"What do we do now, how do we get out?" Lu Yi was getting worried, and the mercenaries behind him all wore expressions of terror.

Irina also expressed her thoughts, "Such a level of technology, as far as I know, doesn’t exist in the world yet. Who could have created this place? It couldn’t be Organization X."

"It’s not Organization X. If my guess isn’t wrong..." Although Gu Fan only said half of it, his intention was clear to Su Hui, Lin Xi, Zhuo Hang, Lu Yi, Ouyang Jin, who had the phrase "ancient Super Civilization" flash through their minds.

Irina was clueless and pressed, "Gu Fan, what are you saying?"

"It’s nothing," Gu Fan dismissed her and continued walking. Now that they were trapped on the ancient Super Civilization’s turf, they had to explore and slowly find a way out, as they did before.

Irina felt slighted and obviously felt Gu Fan was keeping something from her, not treating her like a true companion.

"Hey, Gu Fan, wait for me!" Lu Yi was the first to catch up, and the others followed.

The Hunter’s Guild sought Irina’s opinion, "What do we do now, how should we proceed?"

"What else can we do, if you want to leave alive, of course, you stick with them, stick to them closely." Irina believed that Gu Fan and his group knew the secrets here, which meant they were the real deal to follow.

But when Lu Yi turned to smile at Irina, she suddenly felt a chill, instinctively distancing herself from Lu Yi. If Gu Fan was the real deal, then Lu Yi, the doomsayer, could negate his effect entirely.

Irina couldn’t help but lament, "God, this group has a real deal and a doomsayer; whether they’re lucky or not, I’ve never come across such a combination in my life."

However, soon after, Irina’s attention shifted to Zhuo Hang. Gu Fan hadn’t been sure of coming out unscathed just now, but Zhuo Hang was very confident. What was the story behind Zhuo Hang, who seemed to carry secrets with him?

In fact, although Irina had been in touch with the big boss, she only knew that the big boss had incredible power and an even stronger recovery ability, not knowing that the big boss actually possessed immortality.

Because if Irina knew, the Hunter’s Guild would also learn the big boss’s secret and would undoubtedly treat him as a research subject. So the big boss kept his immortality a secret from the Hunter’s Guild.

As Lu Yi looked around, he couldn’t help but speak up, "Since this is a high-tech place, logically, there should be an artificial intelligence to welcome us, right?"

Just as they continued walking forward, suddenly a woman in water-blue clothes popped out, startling everyone.
