Chapter 315: Chapter 222: Mechanical Graveyard, A New Virus_2

Chunming Spring was very close to that island, and it wasn’t only Chen Qing who discovered the exploitation of the BUG in the Mechanical Relics. The natives from the Red and Blue Camp had likely begun using it a long time ago.

No one expected that the spoils would be picked up by two non-mechanic factions.

This was really a case of ’he who plants trees may not enjoy their shade, and he who plants willows may inadvertently create a shelter’.

The invitation from the reef island’s residents seemed to need postponing.

With the ship traveling at top speed and the Mechanical Fish following behind, Chen Qing arrived at Qing Xian and her group’s location in less than five hours.

This was the first meeting between Chen Qing and Qing Xian, although they had known each other for quite a long time.

Qing Xian and her companions looked just as Chen Qing had imagined, a group of youths who still carried a trace of childishness.

"Sister Chen Qing!"

Qing Xian was thin and small, much shorter than Chen Qing, but her smile was very charming.

There was always a vigorous Life Force about young people that could easily infect those around them, making it hard not to join in their laughter.

In modern terms, after spending time with them, even a corpse would feel warm.

"Qing Xian."

Chen Qing disembarked, nodded at Qing Xian, and appeared quite indifferent.

Qing Xian and her peers weren’t put off by Chen Qing’s cold demeanor and excitedly greeted her one by one.

It’s the living Chen Qing!

Chen Qing’s reputation among the survivors grew more and more bizarre, with many legends and news stories that she herself wasn’t even aware of.

Those close to Chen Qing certainly didn’t believe these stories, but there were too many survivors; a lot of unconfirmed tales were directly attributed to her.

Although Qing Xian knew Chen Qing, they hadn’t communicated much.

So, these youngsters were truly curious about Chen Qing, especially since she had saved their lives!

"Sister Qing, the Mechanical Graveyard is right ahead. They used a shielding device, so it’s hard to detect."

A young person pointed at the seemingly ordinary island ahead and eagerly gave directions to Chen Qing.

"We’ve been watching that island for a long time, and there have been more people landing on it these last couple of days."

"Yes, yes, yes, there used to be only two or three people on the island, but recently the number has increased by several!"

"They must be plotting something; that Sword Dance Mantis was their doing!"

The youths surrounded Chen Qing, excitedly sharing their findings, all talking over one another.

Qing Xian got squeezed to the side, glowering resentfully at her comrades.

If you’re going to talk, don’t push me away.

That’s too much.

The youths shamefacedly grinned at Qing Xian—hehe, weren’t they just a little too excited?

After all, Chen Qing was the most famous and most mysterious of all the survivors!

The youngsters’ descriptions were a bit disorganized, but Chen Qing still managed to get a clear picture of the situation on the island.

There were seven people on the island now. One of them was from the Beixing Family, and the rest had unknown identities. Once anyone entered the island, even if they were from the blue camp, nobody could escape and would be attacked by the island’s machinery.

Those people usually moved around the perimeter, monitoring the mechanical situation on the island.

The island looked lush with greenery, but in reality, it was full of machinery. Even a flower or a stone could potentially be disguised machinery.

And the level of danger was extremely high.

One of them had been swallowed by the island’s machinery. They had killed the machinery immediately, but their companion still had an arm shredded.

That was just the machinery on the periphery.

"Sister Qing, could you please take a look at An’an? She got eaten by that machinery trying to save us."

A young person with short hair looked at Chen Qing with embarrassment and asked in a low voice.

They had all heard about Chen Qing installing Mechanical Prosthetics; the natives and the survivors whose prosthetics were installed by Chen Qing had their strength increased by more than thirty percent!

They had originally planned to pool money to buy a growth potion for An’an, but after much effort, they consulted Doctor Gui Shu on Wind Charm Island to check An’an’s arm, only to receive bad news.

An’an’s arm had residual Energy that made even the most expensive growth potions useless.

Only by removing this unknown energy could the growth potion be used.

Moreover, the price of limb growth potions was beyond their current means.

Extremely expensive.

To save money, Qing Xian and her group had been planning to secure a territory for themselves.

"I can."

Chen Qing did not refuse; the residual energy on the girl named An’an’s arm might have something to do with the virus from the Sword Dance Mantis that Chen Qing had previously been infected with.
