Holding the hologram, Hayashi River opened the warehouse map and pointed at the innermost part of the warehouse. "Let's go to the Level 2 warehouse area. Is it stable there?"
"Alright."
The worker led the way and assured him, "The Level 2 warehouse area has been stable for the past two years. The mechanical marionettes that went out of control have been cleared long ago …"
Hayashi River nodded but did not think much of it. The Level 2 warehouse area was equivalent to the Mechanical Beehive's garbage cave.
There were regular armed forces to clean it up, and it was much safer than the Mechanical Beehive's cave.
However, it would be an amateur to say that it was stable.
A place like this could cause disturbances at any time, causing the mechanical marionettes to activate and go berserk.
Of course, since the armed forces of the Foka Tower were strong enough, these malfunctions were quickly cleaned up.
After swiping the pass, the heavy door of the Level 2 warehouse area opened slowly. Hayashi River, wearing a protective suit, walked in with the worker.
At the same time.
The warehouse door opened, and Fei Yu and the rest walked in. They were surprised to see the door of the Level 2 warehouse area open from afar.
"Eh … That young Mechanic …"
Fei Yu's eyes moved. With her eyesight, she could see Hayashi River clearly. She also recognized him as the passenger on the same hover car.
She had seen Hayashi River on the dining car. Although he was wearing a Mechanic's robe, she did not know that he was a Mechanic.
After all, all the maintenance workers, be they low-level, mid-level, or high-level, wore something similar to a Mechanic's robe. Anyone who was not an expert would be able to tell them apart.
This young man alone had the right to enter the Level 2 warehouse area?
Fei Yu was surprised. Before this trip, she had carefully studied the qualifications to enter the Level 2 warehouse area. It was not difficult, but it was not difficult either.
As long as there were more than three Mechanics and a representative from a Mechanic Organization, these people's passes would allow them to bring a team in.
Or, on her side, she had received a large order and had a pass from the Machinists Guild, a trade pass from the Foka Tower, and a pass from the Chamber of Commerce of the Eastern Continent. She was also allowed to enter.
However, to enter the Level 2 warehouse area alone, the authority of the pass was a little too big.
Just as she was thinking, she saw a group of people walk out of one of the smaller warehouses. They were also walking towards the level-2 warehouse area.
"Baron Swett … Why is this trash here …" Fei Yu frowned slightly and muttered to herself.
…
Level 2 warehouse area.
On a hovering roulette, Hayashi River and the staff members stood on it, moving forward in a well-lit pipe. Below them was a mountain of mechanical wreckage. From time to time, there would be a sizzling sound of electricity, and occasionally, they could see black shadows moving quickly among the wreckage.
The surrounding walls and the metal dome at the top reflected a cold and sharp luster.
From the outside, the Level Two warehouse area looked like a sphere, and the metal covering it was all four-star alloy.
"It took a lot to build this place …" Hayashi River sighed softly.
The staff member nodded repeatedly. It was not just a huge price. The original purpose of building this place was to build an unbreakable underground fortress in order to fight a drawn-out war with the Oceanic Beast Army.
At that time, the requirement for the construction of this place was that even if the entire Foka Plains were destroyed, this place must still exist.
It was said that just the metal plates on the walls cost an entire year's income of a first-rate empire in the Great Eastern Continent.
At that time, the situation was very urgent. The Oceanic Beast Army had attacked from the White Nightmare Sea, and all the countries in the Great Eastern Continent were panicking. If this place was lost and the Foka Plains fell, the borders of all the countries in the Great Eastern Continent would be greatly threatened.
The defensive equipment here had reached the peak of that era. Even now, in terms of defensive strength alone, it was still one of the best in the Great Eastern Continent.
Hayashi River looked around, and his gaze wandered. He spread out his mental energy, searching for everything in this place bit by bit.
Of course, the purpose of coming to the level-2 warehouse area was not as simple as mechanical research. It was for the secret treasure, the Blood Spirit Eye.
The location of the treasure on the map left behind by Winlington pointed to this place.
Hayashi River had investigated the situation of the Foka Tower hundreds of years ago, and there had not been so many mechanical wreckage here.
Suddenly, Hayashi River found a deep mark on a wall, as if it had been scratched by something.
The mark was covered in mottled rust. Through the perception of mental energy, Hayashi River sensed a very powerful aura.
"This mark was scratched by a hand …" Hayashi River's heart skipped a beat.
Then, he transmitted this scene to Mossy Bone for rapid analysis.
"What terrifying power?!"
Mossy Bone quickly responded. This was the first sentence that popped out, and it was filled with shock. "This is a trace left behind by a cultivator close to the Ninth Realm. It's at least a thousand years old, and he scratched it with his bare hands. This person's strength is a little terrifying …"
Hayashi River curled his lips. Was there a need to say more?
The walls here could withstand the attacks of unparalleled powerhouses, and they were unparalleled powerhouses equipped with Heart Yuan Equipment.
Scratching a deep mark with a bare hand, of course this person was terrifying …
Swish swish …
Mossy Bone quickly analyzed this place, and combined it with the structure map that Hayashi River had obtained before, he analyzed that there was a passage there.
However, it had been sealed off for some unknown reason more than two hundred years ago.
"The alloy wall there is more than a hundred meters thick, and the reason for the seal is unknown." Mossy Bone informed him of the results of his analysis and the previous information.
Behind the sealed wall, huh …
Hayashi River deduced that the location that Winlington's letter had pointed to was near that wall, and it was likely to be in the sealed passage.
But why was this place sealed off …
It seemed that he had to find the seniors of Foka Tower to understand more …
As he pondered, Hayashi River came out of the transparent pipe and entered a laboratory.
This was the stronghold of the level-two warehouse area, and many mechanical devices were researched here.
Looking at the Heart Yuan Equipment displayed in the transparent cabinet, Hayashi River marveled. It was as if he had come to a museum that displayed Heart Yuan Equipment from all over the continent from ancient times to the present, as well as the similar Heart Yuan Equipment of the sea beasts.
"Is this the high-level Heart Yuan Equipment of the sea beasts …"
He came to a transparent cabinet that contained a boxing glove. The patterns on it were very strange, and there were carvings that looked like fish scales.
The energy crystals of the boxing glove were produced in the deep sea. The inside of the boxing glove was soft like a gel, and once one put one's hand in, something like a tentacle would connect to the body.
This was the structure of the sea beasts' Heart Yuan Equipment.
To be precise, this kind of weapon could not be called a Heart Yuan Equipment. The power of the sea beasts was not the Psychic Force, but a different kind of power.
The power of the sea beasts could directly use the energy in the energy crystals and perfectly fuse it with their own power.
In terms of innate ability, the sea beasts had an advantage over many races on the continent. With this kind of equipment, the military power of the sea beasts had been above the continent for a long time.
It was not until the development of the Heart Yuan Equipment and the perfection of the Psychic Force system that the creatures on the continent obtained great power that the balance of power between the sea beasts and the sea beasts gradually shifted.
Touring around the laboratory, Hayashi River soon got carried away. Everything here was exactly what he needed. If he stayed here for a month or two, his mechanical skills would improve qualitatively.
Pointing at the Heart Yuan Equipment one by one, Hayashi River casually pointed out the pros and cons, causing the staff member to be even more shocked.
Holding the light screen and comparing the Heart Yuan Equipment one by one, the staff member's jaw dropped. This young Mechanic was actually able to point out the pros and cons of these Heart Yuan Equipment as if he was familiar with them. This was simply impossible.
One had to know that the Seven-Star Mechanics who had been here before were all stunned by the various Heart Yuan Equipment and could only look at the information. How could they be like Hayashi River, as if he could not be more familiar with these Heart Yuan Equipment?
"Err …"
Hayashi River came back to his senses and noticed the gaze of the staff member. He understood that he had been too engrossed and had forgotten to restrain himself, so he did not say anything else.
After staying here for an hour, Hayashi River was still not satisfied. Looking at the time, he decided that today was his first day here, so he should go back first.
Suddenly, the laboratory shook, and a sharp alarm sounded. It was extremely ear-piercing.
"This is … a berserk mechanical wreckage …"
The staff member was shocked. He originally wanted to say that it was fine and that it was just a berserk mechanical wreckage. The alarm light was still yellow, which meant that it was in a state of alert and was not serious.
However, in the blink of an eye, the alarm light turned red. Then, there was a blood-like glaring light …
Instantly, the staff member's expression changed. The bright red alarm light meant that the number of berserk mechanical wreckages had exceeded a hundred.
Furthermore, to be able to cause such a state of alert, it was equivalent to a sneak attack by a Level Six or above powerhouse.
"Mr. Chuan, let's go …" the staff member shouted and rushed to the small door of the laboratory. He opened the emergency passage and rushed in with Hayashi River.
"Didn't you say that this place is very stable?" Hayashi River asked.
"I …"
The staff member's face was bitter. His lips trembled, but he could not say a word. He had been working here for five years, and not to mention a bright red alarm, he had not even seen a red alarm once.
In the past five years, this place had indeed been very stable, and there had been no accidents.
Together with the staff member, Hayashi River stood on a floating disc and sped through the emergency escape passage.
A moment later, he saw shadows scuttling through the mechanical wreckage below. Their speed far surpassed that of a Level Five powerhouse.
So many Level Six mechanical wreckage …
Hayashi River's scalp went numb when he saw this. He really did not know how these mechanical wreckages had become so violent, and why so many of them had appeared all of a sudden.
At this time, he suddenly saw Gu Teng, Sweit, and the others standing on a floating disc in another emergency escape passage. They had increased the speed of the device to the limit, and were desperately flying toward the exit.
In Sweit's hand was a small box. If Hayashi River remembered correctly, this baron had not brought a box with him before this.
