Chapter 222: Calamity “I’ll go.”

Initially, Lin Hai wanted to go, but Wai stepped forward before him.

“Wai, you…”

Lin Hai wanted to stop him, but Wai said firmly, “Someone has to go. Even if I die, Lin Hai, you’ll retrieve my corpse, right? Haha, actually, it doesn’t matter if my corpse isn’t retrieved. We’ve already come this far in this Operation Wall Breaker. No matter what, it’s time for me to show my capabilities.”

Although Wai was humorous, Lin Hai could not bring himself to smile.

In the end, it was still Wai who walked to the door of the control room. Everyone quickly retreated, leaving him alone.

Beep. After setting up the highly concentrated bomb, Wai ran desperately towards the back. When he reached the cover, the bomb suddenly exploded.

Boom. Flames soared into the sky. There was no doubt about the prowess of the highly concentrated bomb. The terrifying aftershock of the explosion spread in all directions. Even behind cover, everyone felt as if they were about to suffocate.

Fortunately, the aftershock of the bomb quickly dissipated. When the dust settled, the door to the control room had already been blasted open.

“It’s blasted open. We can enter the control room now.”

A smile appeared on many people’s faces, while Lin Hai looked at Wai. Fortunately, although Wai was in a sorry state, he was not dead.

Lin Hai hurriedly ran over and helped Wai up. “You’re quite lucky. You’re fine save for a few scratches.”

“Pfft, what can happen to me? Haizi, the door has been blasted open, right? Haha, hurry up and enter the control room. Turn off the defense mechanism and wait for General Long to bring people over. The mission can be considered complete.”

However, Lin Hai was a little hesitant. Although many people had died along the way, it did not seem like there were too many twists and turns. They simply blasted open the control room. Were things going too smoothly?

Could this ruin really be so easily cracked?

Lin Hai had some questions, but before he could think carefully, someone had already walked into the control room.

Beep-beep-beep. Suddenly, red light flashed through the entire ruin. Sharp alarms sounded, and some incomprehensible voices seemed to be saying something.

Even though they could not understand what the voice was saying, everyone could sense that this was definitely not a good thing. There was an extremely strong sense of premonition.

Crunch.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded.

At the same time, one, two, three…

In the blink of an eye, countless footsteps appeared, as if many people had appeared in the ruins.

Thump. A red light flashed. The soldiers who were the first to enter the control room felt as if their bodies had been pierced by a beam of light. Then, their entire bodies turned to ashes.

It was as if they had been “vaporized”.

Lin Hai and Wai’s eyes widened. They saw that there were robots, about 1.6 meters tall, walking out of the control room. That’s right, those were robots. Their entire bodies glowed with a metallic luster.

These robots were practically covered in offensive weapons. The densely packed holes on their bodies could all shoot out lethal lasers. These was probably some kind of terrifying weapon that far exceeded the current understanding of human technology.

If there were only one or two of them, it wouldn’t be a big deal. However, when Lin Hai and Wai saw the large horde of robots walking out of the control room, both of them despaired.

Far exceeding one or two, there were at least a hundred of them, or even more. There were literally hundreds or even thousands of them. There seemed to be no end to to the robots surging out all at once.

“A robot army!”

A terrifying thought appeared in their minds. What exactly was this ruin? Were they wrong to excavate this ruin? Perhaps this ruin was the armory of the ancient civilization.

And those robots were terrifying weapons of war!

“Flee!”

Lin Hai did not hesitate at all. He and Wai quickly fled backward. They frantically entered every path they came across, not caring where it led. They knew that it was over. It was all over.

General Long, who was outside the ruins, did not know what had happened inside.

They were paying close attention to the movements in the ruins from the outside.

But there was suddenly a violent explosion in the ruins. General Long was shocked. Was something wrong? Or had they found the control room and blasted it open with a highly concentrated bomb?

General Long was very nervous. In the military base, the researchers who had studied the ruins for a long time were equally nervous.

Soon, the explosion subsided, and the ruins seemed to return to silence.

However, not long after, ear-piercing alarms sounded from the ruins. At the same time, in the valley where the ruins were located, a small stream was shaking violently. A crack gradually appeared in the depths of the stream.

Rumble. The entire valley was in chaos. No one had expected that metal cabins would be buried below the valley. These metal cabins opened one after another.

Crunch. Metal robots walked out of the metal cabin one after another. One, two, three… Almost tens of thousands of robots appeared, and their numbers were still increasing.

How many robots were there? Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Or even more?

No one could have expected this, but these robots were undoubtedly the most terrifying weapons of war. After they appeared, their only mission was destruction.

Destruction. Destruction of everything. All life would be destroyed.

The military base was discovered by the robots, and they began to attack. As the weapons used were very advanced, even the weapons of an ordinary robot could easily kill a Metamorphic Realm martial artist.

The military base quickly fell.

“What exactly did we open up?”

General Long’s face was as pale as a sheet. This was no relic of a technological civilization. It was clearly a war armory. Moreover, they were the ones who took the initiative to open this terrifying war armory.

If they could not control the situation, the threat posed by these robots would be even more terrifying than that of dire beast Predators in the past.

This would be a calamity for humanity!

…

Lin Feng rode the airship for about ten days before finally arriving at the frontline base in the depths of the Outland.

Along the way, everyone took this rare opportunity to ask the two Sages questions. Even Lin Feng asked questions about life transition.

This might also be the question martial artists were most concerned about.

However, the Sages’ answers disappointed Lin Feng somewhat.

As the first human to undergo four life transitions, Sage Kang gave a clear answer. There was no shortcut to life transitions. One could only rely on their own comprehension.

When the time was right, life transitions would occur.

However, there was no pattern to this at all. There was not even any systematic guidance. Even Sage Kang probably would not be able to undergo another life transition.

Lin Feng was not the only one who was disappointed. The other martial artists were also very crestfallen.

“If life transitions are that simple, the universe would long be flooded with planetary lifeforms. However, in reality, compared to the dust-like ubiquity of ordinary lifeforms in the universe, planetary lifeforms are far too rare.”

Longbetham words also made Lin Feng completely give up on the idea of “taking a shortcut”.

There was no shortcut at all to life transitions.
