Chapter 370 The Eternal Era
Eternal Era Year 0: 2330 AD.
Earth One:
Lin Xuan took a deep breath and pressed her finger on the sensor on the metal door in front of her.
Immediately, countless nanobots within his body began to work, seeping into the door little by little along his fingers.
Three seconds later, with a crisp "click" sound, the lock cylinder turned and the door was opened.
Behind the door was a long corridor that stretched as far as the eye could see.
"This is the seventh time. I hope everything goes smoothly this time."
He raised his hand into the air, and the nanobots condensed into a long metal sword in his hand.
However, looking at the long knife in her hand, Lin Xuan hesitated slightly before reconstructing it into a revolver.
Lin Xuan moved her wrist, and the watch on her right hand shook twice, displaying a number on the screen that was the same color as the emergency exit sign.
"7!"
Having prepared everything, Lin Xuan strode into the corridor.
The moment his left foot stepped into the corridor, it was as if some kind of mechanism had been triggered.
A red light swept across the end of the corridor in an instant, accompanied by a cold, emotionless, synthesized voice.
"Intruder detected. Execute the annihilation order!"
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the walls on both sides of the corridor began to move, like the conveyor belt of an elevator. The smooth walls that were originally empty now opened up to reveal hidden doors from the inside.
The moment each door opens, a humanoid robot peeks its head out from inside.
These robots are like mass-produced products on an assembly line; they all look almost identical. However, some robots appear to be defective, with errors in their joint connections that cause their bones to twist in a bizarre direction, making them look extremely unsettling.
Lin Xuan seemed completely unsurprised by the appearance of these robots. She raised her hand and pulled the trigger directly at the first robot that poked its head out.
"boom!"
With a gunshot, the robot fell to the ground, but Lin Xuan didn't stop and continued to fire several more shots.
"boom!"
"Bang bang bang..."
Every time he pulled the trigger, a robot that had just poked its head out would fall to the ground.
Surprisingly, Lin Xuan didn't seem to start shooting after seeing the robot; rather, a robot appeared just as his bullets were fired.
Fire in advance.
From an outsider's perspective, these robots look like they're trying to catch bullets with their heads, as if Lin Xuan could foresee the future and know in advance where these robots would appear.
Lin Xuan certainly didn't have the ability to predict the future. The reason he was so familiar with the place was because this wasn't his first time here.
"boom!"
As the last bullet of the revolver is fired, the nanobots begin to work, quickly re-condensing a new bullet within the revolver.
However, the number of robots is increasing, and even though Lin Xuan has never missed a shot, continuing to fight like this is definitely not a solution.
So he directly reconstructed the gun in his hand into countless tiny threads, like casting a net, and swung it forward with force.
"Squeak!"
After a series of metallic cutting sounds, the robots' bodies were dismembered by the threads, turning back into a pile of scrap metal.
But Lin Xuan dared not relax at all, because at this moment, an even more terrifying monster was rapidly approaching.
"boom!"
The walls on both sides of the corridor suddenly collapsed, and thick smoke billowed up. The narrow passageway that was just a second ago instantly became a platform.
Two tall figures could be vaguely seen emerging from the thick smoke.
"Intruder, you have entered the warning zone. Please retreat outside the warning zone immediately!"
The synthesized mechanical voice sounded again, but Lin Xuan showed no intention of backing down. She flicked the silk thread in her hand, and a long metal sword was instantly assembled.
"Whoosh!"
Two metal hooks, each as thick as an adult's waist, shot towards him, but just like before, Lin Xuan's body seemed to be on a script, dodging them before they could even make a move, causing the two steel hooks to miss.
Then, he grabbed the two steel cables with his backhand and used them as ropes, sparking as he rubbed them together, before charging towards the two giant figures with his knife.
As they got closer, they could see clearly that what emerged from the smoke and dust were two metal mechs, each a full three meters tall.
At this moment, a scarlet alarm was flashing on their screens. When they saw Lin Xuan approaching, both mechs simultaneously locked onto her as their target.
"boom!"
Electromagnetic sparks erupted on their bodies. Lin Xuan decapitated one of the mechs with a single blow, but as he prepared to cut down the second mech, a cold, mechanical synthesized voice suddenly rang out.
"Lin Xuan, you really haven't given up yet."
"Crack!"
As the metallic synthesized sound rang out, the nanobots on Lin Xuan's body began to collectively collapse, as if they had been forcibly shut down.
Not only the knife in his hand, but also the nanobots inside his body that were responsible for supporting his skeleton, all fell silent.
"Boom!"
This sudden change caught even Lin Xuan off guard, causing her to fall to the ground.
He has suffered from many old injuries over the years, but they haven't erupted because nanobots are responsible for repairing them.
Now, the nanobots suddenly shut down, and an intense pain instantly swept over his entire body.
Even so, Lin Xuan gritted her teeth, slowly got up from the ground, looked at the mecha in front of her, or rather... the person controlling the mecha, and revealed a strange smile.
"You, the ultimate producer, can kill me ten thousand times, but you can only make one mistake!"
"system!"
He had always been wary of the system in his mind, and Lin Xuan never used it unless absolutely necessary, but now, he couldn't care less about that anymore.
However, without the assistance of nanobots, his reaction speed was noticeably slower.
Before he could successfully access the system, the other party had already taken action.
"boom!"
A metal spear pierced through Lin Xuan's body, pinning him to the floor.
The other side seemed afraid that he could still come back to life, so the mecha struck him several more times until it completely killed Lin Xuan before it stopped.
"Ha, number four, we'll see."
……
When Lin Xuan opened his eyes again, he was lying in an abandoned campsite on the outskirts of the city.
Beside him, Simothers was tending a campfire, holding a string of grilled fish that he had somehow gotten his hands on.
Upon seeing Lin Xuan wake up, he quickly went over to her.
"you're awake!"
"My name is Simothers. Don't worry, I'm the leader of the Starfire Organization. I won't harm you!"
"Why are you all alone in this outskirts of the city?"
Lin Xuan ignored him and slowly raised her right arm. At this moment, the watch on her wrist was still there.
The only difference is that the number above has changed from 7 to 8.
