Black mountain peaks flew past below one after another. The four Mechs slowly flew over the continuous black mountain range, heading quickly in the designated direction.
On the mountain peaks below, between the stone platforms on the mountainsides and peaks, they could vaguely see black and gray abandoned ruins. Some of them were even abandoned bases. There seemed to be creatures moving around in them, but their shadows could not be seen clearly.
The ruins were scattered sparsely. Some of them even had huge yellow gears of different sizes exposed outside. The gears rotated slowly, puffing out white smoke from time to time.
Garen lowered his head and looked at the scenery and ruins below.
"Are there people in these ruins? How can they continue to rotate now? "
The Mechs flew automatically. Their pilots did not control them, so they were completely independent passengers. Naturally, they could talk freely and do other things.
A red symbol lit up on the control panel in front of him. Linda's voice came out.
"Garon, this is your first time out here. You don't know this place very well. No one lives in these ruins. They can rotate automatically mainly because of some geothermal energy. However, because this is the radiation belt, although the geothermal energy here is great, the radiation pollution is even greater. So, even the radiation people don't dare to come here easily. Firstly, the radiation is too strong. If you're not careful, you'll be infected with more troublesome diseases. Secondly, there are many mutated beasts and radiation corpses here. Normal people can't deal with them at all. "
"Radiation corpses?"
"Yes. After the corpses have undergone some radiation mutation, they'll develop an instinctive desire to hunt. From there, they'll become active again and wander on their own. Radiation corpses can move around freely to hunt when there's enough radiation energy. However, once the energy is depleted, they'll fall to the ground and become corpses again. So, entering the ruins depends on luck. If you're lucky, you might be able to find some valuable documents or materials. " Linda smiled and explained, "I've entered the ruins once. However, it's very dangerous. Normal pilots are just going to die if they go in. It's better not to think about going in if you're not Level Three or above."
Garon acknowledged and thanked Linda for her explanation. Then, he carefully observed the various ruins below.
As they continued to fly forward, Anda's voice came from the communicator after a while.
"Attention, there's a flock of mutated birds in front."
Right in front of the four mechs, a large flock of black birds was rushing towards them.
These birds were all about a meter long. They were not much different from ordinary birds, except that they all had two or four pairs of furry fox ears. Their beaks were not straight like ordinary birds, but like hooks, they were very sharp.
Croak croak croak …
There was a burst of ear-piercing screams.
Anda's body suddenly released a circle of invisible sound waves.
As the ripples spread out, the group of mutated birds immediately revealed traces of panic. Most of the birds scattered and fled in all directions. Only a portion of the strongest birds continued to rush over, appearing even more ferocious.
The high-energy ray gun in Anda's hand lightly tapped a few times, and a dozen white lights shot out, accurately hitting the heads of the birds flying over, smashing them into pieces. The corpses fell down, and before they hit the ground, they were surrounded by flying insects that looked like blood-sucking mosquitoes that appeared out of nowhere. After a few hits, only bones were left on the ground.
Garon was at the back of the team. As he watched Anda take care of the mutated birds so easily, he gradually relaxed his initial vigilance.
"In front of us is the largest battlefield ruins around here, the Battlefield Ruins. We need to search around here, maybe we'll be lucky enough to find some newly condensed mutated metals." Anda's voice came from the communicator.
"Be careful, there are many radioactive corpses hidden in the Battlefield Ruins, and there are also very strong mutated beasts. There are even Level Four mutated beasts. Don't make too much noise and cause trouble," Anda warned carefully.
The few of them agreed, and slowly began to adjust the altitude of their mechs, flying towards the largest black mountain range in front of them.
The black mountain was far taller than all the other mountains around it. Compared to the surroundings, it was more like the difference between an adult and a child. Even if the three of them scanned left and right in their mechs, they could not see the edge of the mountain in their field of vision. They could only see a large black rock mountain.
"This place has a pretty good name, it's called the Sleeping Forest. If we don't wake it up, everything will be fine. "Avis whistled loudly. "I heard that the engineers have even found very valuable ancient energy furnaces and nuclear weapons here. Those things can be exchanged for a whole set of custom-made mech services!"
"If it's a slightly better nuclear weapon, it'll be enough to exchange for a decent small battleship," Anda replied with a smile. "Be careful, the radiation contamination is about to reach the warning level. We need to expend extra energy to form a shield to avoid contamination when moving around inside. I've installed anti-radiation devices on all three mechs, but these things consume a lot of energy. If you can't find anything in an hour, come out and gather quickly. Don't stay inside for too long, or else you'll get radiation sickness. Don't blame me for not warning you."
"Understood!" x3
The four mechs instantly split up and flew towards the peak of the mountain, towards the vast black-gray metal city.
The closer Garon flew, the stranger he felt the city on the peak of the mountain was.
It was dead silent, without any signs of life, but there was a huge pressure that could explode at any time. There were floating metal pieces and spinning giant yellow gears everywhere.
The ruins of the city were getting closer and closer, bigger and bigger. After splitting up, he flew directly towards the east of the city.
The city was huge, comparable to Blackboard City. Garon flew towards one of the three big blocks, and randomly found a block of color to land on. There were more than ten blocks like this in the whole block, and each of them was as big as Flying Batoid City.
The wide streets, the old bumper karts, and only the yellow canopies were left. The Ferris wheel with many broken support pillars was like a broken windmill, moving inexplicably from time to time, making crisp creaking sounds.
The angle that Garon flew in was just like an amusement park. The mech landed slowly, and on the right was a wooden carriage. The rotating red wooden horse was spinning slowly, making crisp music.
'Lalala … Lalala … The kite is flying … The little fish is swimming … A peaceful life needs more to be satisfied, lalala … Lalala …'
Garon could actually understand the music of the wooden horse. Although the accent was a little weird, it was a little girl's voice, but he could still understand the meaning.
Gusts of cold wind blew, and looking around the whole city, there was no sign of life in the amusement park. Other than some things that were moving automatically, it was just like a wasteland.
Bang … Bang bang bang …
Garon lifted the mech's feet and walked forward. The heavy mech's body walked in the amusement park, and the sound of its footsteps kept reverberating, and the empty echoes were suddenly transmitted back.
"This place … is really desolate." Garon frowned. He didn't know why, but he always felt an inexplicable sense of danger here. It was faint and looming, as if there was something here that could threaten his life.
The empty amusement park gave him a very uncomfortable feeling.
Creak.
Suddenly, there was a sudden sound behind him. Garon quickly pulled out the sensor behind him, and saw that it was a rocking chair placed in an empty space that was shaking slightly, as if someone had just stood up from it.
Retracting his gaze, Garon continued to move forward slowly.
Soon, the entrance of the amusement park was in front of him. It was a white painted arched door, but most of the white paint had been rubbed off by the erosion of time.
On the side of the door stood a clown model that was five meters tall. It was dressed in red, with bright red curly hair, and two red round cherries stuck on both sides of its cheeks. It looked like a smile that children liked very much.
Crash!
Suddenly, there was the sound of glass shattering in the distance.
Garon frowned, and opened the communication device. In that direction, it should have been Avis who went over just now.
"Avis?" He tried to call out, but there was no answer.
There was a hissing sound in the communication device, and it was all noisy noise.
Turning off the communication device, Garon knew that there was no way to use communication here. It seemed like he could only wait until he got out of here.
The moment he walked out of the amusement park, Garon intuitively felt that the clown's eyes seemed to have moved.
He couldn't help but turn back to take a closer look at the clown model. It was obviously made of stone and metal, but the eyeballs were clearly drawn on.
"Was it an illusion?" Garon, who had always trusted his instincts, couldn't help but feel slightly doubtful.
He turned and walked out of the door. Outside the amusement park was a dark and gloomy street. There were tall buildings on both sides of the street, blocking most of the light. Above them were the leaden clouds of Silver City, and below them were the streets shrouded in darkness. The ground was clean, and there were no signs of damage. It was just that there wasn't much light, and it looked a little eerie.
"There should be some materials here that can be used …" Garon thought for a while, and turned on the Mech's detector. But the trouble was, the radiation interference here was too strong, and it couldn't be used at all. On the detector, there were dense red dots everywhere, and it was obviously malfunctioning due to the interference.
Suddenly, he seemed to feel that something was aiming at him.
The Mech stopped abruptly, and took a step to the left.
Bam!!
The spot where he was supposed to walk out of suddenly had a deep crater in the ground.
"Who!"
Garon looked in the direction of the crater, and just happened to see a blurry figure disappearing quickly.
He was about to activate the Mech to chase after it, but suddenly a creepy feeling came from the side of his body.
"Not good! It's the one just now … "
Boom!!
In the intense explosion of green light, the entire street, and the two buildings surrounding it were all shrouded in a gloomy green color.
Super Corrosive Bomb!!
A large amount of green mucus splattered, and even though Garon's reaction was extremely fast, and dodged most of it, there was still a small amount that stuck to the Mech's anti-radiation shield.
The transparent shield was corroded by the green mucus, and sizzled.
Garon flew back far away, and entered the amusement park. Only then did he check the condition of the Mech. The guy who ambushed him just now was definitely not an ordinary person. Such a super corrosive bomb might not be very useful outside, but in such a high radiation environment, its effect was very impressive. It could greatly deplete the energy of the anti-radiation shield, but he couldn't remove the shield here, or else the strong radiation pollution would corrode the pilot and the Mech in the shortest amount of time, and he would become a radioactive person, and that would be a real living hell. From a high and mighty person, he would fall to an ordinary, lowly radioactive person!
The Mech didn't suffer much damage, but the explosion of the corrosive bomb had depleted at least 20% of the Mech's energy.
Garon carefully recalled the person who ambushed him just now. His movements were very fast, and his Willpower couldn't even lock on to him. That guy was at least Level Three. Most importantly, the opponent's technique was very experienced, and he didn't even look at the consequences of the attack before retreating. This was the key to him being able to avoid his detection with only Level Three Willpower.
