Starting as a Mechanical Hunter
Chapter 680 - 205: S-Level Continent
If in the past, the danger levels of Radiation Zones were generally divided into three types: low danger zone, medium danger zone, and high danger zone.
In the high danger zone, there already exists a radiation ecology capable of adapting to A-level Radiation Beasts.
Beyond this, there’s nothing more.
The reason is simple. S-Level Radiation Beasts are no longer confined to specific areas but can roam the entire planet.
Just like the widely preaching ’Brain-in-a-Vat’.
But this Oudik Continent is the only place that can be called an S-Level Continent.
Every kind of danger here can reach the S-level.
"Wow, what a big bone!"
Xiao Yu opened her mouth wide. In front of her was a mountain-like White Bone, shaped like a beast. The long years had not calcified the bones. Instead, it seemed coated with a vibrant Radiance on its surface as if glued.
Under the influence of this Radiance, the entire White Bone mountain resembled a transparent diamond mountain.
"New mutating energy?"
Gao Gong looked at this ’small hill’ with interest.
It is often said that the most dangerous places are also the ones with the most opportunities. Gao Gong hadn’t expected that after walking just a few steps, he would encounter a potential ’new energy’.
The development of Energy Weapons depends on the discovery of ’new energy’. If this ’new energy’ is found to be replicable, then Energy Weapons will undergo significant Evolution.
This planet already has a stable energy, which is Radiation Energy, ranging from F-level to S-level. Each stage of the Energy State is stable.
But the mutating energy in front of them clearly wasn’t Radiation Energy because it lacked the unique ’Radiation Aura’ of Radiation Energy. It was pure, as pure as water.
"Collect some and take it back for research."
Gao Gong opened his palm, releasing a large amount of blood threads. The threads entered the luminous glow, slowly absorbing, while the palm membrane began to peel, expand, and wrap around these threads, forming a meatball with a diameter of half a meter.
Even so, Gao Gong still felt it wasn’t safe. He continued to spew out a lot of ’glass shards’, turning the large meatball into a small glass ball, and finally gently plucked it, putting it in his pocket.
Although integrating with the ’Purple String Space’ at high intensity caused Gao Gong to temporarily lose ’Great Serpent Mode’, it wasn’t without advantages.
The advantage is that in the current state, he is the ’Purple String Space’, and the ’Purple String Space’ is also him.
Therefore, Gao Gong can even directly use Folding Space for storage.
And the technology of ’Folding Space’ is widely used even within the Space Domain.
The most advanced ’Folding Space’ doesn’t fold an item or a city but an entire Star System. For instance, the top cosmic treasure, the ’Teras Ring’, appears to be a stunning diamond necklace, but it is also an entire Star System.
The other three silently watched Gao Gong’s actions.
After Gao Gong finished, Black Rose asked in confusion, "Why not just teleport to that place? We don’t have much time."
’Ms. Ye’ also rubbed a toy bear, its head looking around with a somewhat wary expression.
"Two reasons: first, there are too many weird things on this continent. If we modify the Space Parameters on a large scale, it might catch something troublesome."
Gao Gong paused, then said, "Secondly, based on the old creature’s memory, entering there requires some special means."
In Gao Gong’s view, after coming to the Oudik Continent, Xiao Yu’s Biological Magnetic Field has been undergoing subtle changes, as if calling something or attracting something.
The four continued forward and encountered all sorts of strange existences: a wriggling meat mountain, an abandoned ancient research institute, a group of beggar-like Robots. Each thing was very ominous. For example, Gao Gong sensed a hint of ’Space’ and ’Doomsday’ from the moving Ancient Robots.
The four stood on a small hill, watching the group of Ancient Robots pass by, then suddenly disappear not far away.
"Boss, where did they go?"
Xiao Yu curiously asked.
Gao Gong didn’t answer directly but said, "There’s a saying that when the energy intensity reaches an upper limit, it might tear Space, sending someone to the future in the form of ’Amber’.
"Boss, are you saying they traveled from the past?" Xiao Yu’s eyes widened.
"It’s possible, at least their attire very much resembles modified soldiers from the Second Mechanical War era," Gao Gong paused, then added, "But there’s another possibility, that they don’t actually exist now, and it’s just a Time Reversal phenomenon."
"Very interesting," Black Rose said with interest, "I sensed a lot of living human imprints from them."
"Every ’Amber’ carries everything from an era."
"Let’s go, these mechanical soldiers should be safe, as long as we don’t actively disrupt some of their operating Rules."
Indeed, there are too many dangerous existences on the Oudik Continent.
But with the strength of the four, as long as they don’t intentionally court danger, 90% of the trouble can be avoided in advance.
And during this process, Xiao Yu also gradually became silent, as if entering a certain state.
Finally, after getting rid of a special ’S-Level Radiation Beast’, Gao Gong and the others arrived between a barren cemetery and burial mounds.
All four of them had, to varying degrees, traces of battle on them.
The reason why the ’S-Level Radiation Beast’ is special is because it is not a single type of radiation beast, but an entire ’Radiation Land’. The land has developed a main consciousness and obtained S-Level bloodline. Thanks to Gao Gong’s spatial ability, otherwise, it would be really difficult to escape. Because not only does Gao Gong have the spatial ability, but the opponent also does. The opponent can unfold a large spatial domain, cutting off all perception of the outside world within this domain.
Under this ability, Black Rose and ’Ms. Ye’ both suffered significant losses.
"We’ll get them back sooner or later," ’Ms. Ye’ gritted her teeth and said. Two new cracks appeared on her skin. Just now, the enemy blocked space, directly severing her connection with all electronic brains, causing her abilities to regress to the level of an ordinary mutant, almost scaring her to death.
However, this also served as a wake-up call for her. The ’homogeneous transformation’ spiritual ability is not invincible. Once the enemy cuts off her connection with other electronic brains, it becomes extremely dangerous.
"I’m afraid you can’t do it."
Black Rose frowned and shook her hand. Her fair and slender fingers now look charred and unattractive, with joints cracked open, revealing high-quality bionic components.
This was the after-effect of enduring an S-Level Beast Tide.
Even with the ’Metabolism Queen’ ability, it can’t be repaired instantly.
What’s more annoying is that she paid such a high price and still couldn’t kill the opponent.
The reason is simple, the true body of the ’Radiation Beast’ is right under their feet on the Oudik Continent.
Although she scoffed at ’Ms. Ye’, Black Rose still looked at Gao Gong.
Gao Gong said helplessly: "Don’t even think about it, unless you use the celestial base cannon, completely breaking the entire continental framework. But the Mother City won’t let you do that. Blowing a hole in the continent and letting these S-Level monsters out, who knows what will happen."
"I didn’t expect that an S-Level Radiation Spirit would be born from this S-Level Continent."
At this point, Gao Gong’s words stopped abruptly, for good reason. The sword pattern on Xiao Yu’s forehead began to slowly light up. Affected by this, in the graveyard, an inconspicuous tombstone slowly sank, revealing a black hole.
"We’re here."
Gao Gong squinted his eyes. There is no doubt that this is where Xiao Yuanjun once sealed the Doomsday Armor.
And after the four entered the hole, it returned to its original state as if nothing had happened.
On the ground centered around the grave, a pair of eyeballs the size of a basketball court slowly opened, curiously examining this place.
It seemed to be dreading something, yet also expectant of something, as it closed its eyes once again.
...
"I can sense people, but these ’people’ feel a bit peculiar," Black Rose said.
"Not just people," Gao Gong looked towards the ceiling where several pinhole-style security cameras were located.
Underneath the tombstone, it wasn’t as dark as one would imagine, but much brighter. Moreover, past the downward staircase was a hall, with a dozen or so passages leading in all directions, clearly showing signs of human activity.
At this moment, Gao Gong directly used the skill ’Radiation Invisibility’, using radiation field refraction to create an invisibility effect, standing in the hall with the other three.
Gao Gong glanced at Xiao Yu. Ever since they entered the site of the Doomsday Armor, this little girl seemed to be in some sort of trance, dazed and absent-minded.
Soon, footsteps echoed from one of the passages, along with faint voices.
"The security system issued a warning... What strange thing from the outside again?"
"Not sure, anyway, we’ll just go check it out."
Soon, the two ’people’ revealed their appearances.
Not human, indeed!
With bodies nearly three meters tall, their faces filled with sharp teeth, corners of their mouths even torn to the temple area. The occasional tongue sticking out was nearly half a meter long. Despite this appearance, their speech was in unmistakably standard human language.
A detection sweep passed by——
