Chapter 823

In the underground hub, Lin Yu finally saw the out-of-control turret.

Dark grey energy enveloped the gun, and the muzzle flashed red.

Walter's gravity field was shaking, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

"Do it!" Lin Yu leaped up and slashed the light blade at the dark gray energy.

"Swish!" The energy collided and then receded, and the turret stopped temporarily.

But the next second, more dark gray energy surged from the darkness and wrapped around another turret.

A cold and emotionless voice rang out, "It's useless. As long as technology exists, my pollution will never stop. Black Rock City will be your grave."

Lin Yu looked up into the darkness, "Who's there? Come out! Don't hide!"

A burst of energy condensed into the figure of Tiemu. His armor glowed coldly, and his red eyes stared at the three people without any emotion. "Destruction, no need for fair and square."

Blade frowned, "Who are you?

Tie Mu didn't answer, but just raised his hand and waved, and energy rushed towards the three people.

Lin Yu raised his blade to block it. The moment the energy collided, he felt his arm numb. "This energy...there's something wrong! Everyone be careful!"

The three of them were locked in a bitter battle. No one knew who the enemy was, let alone the bottom line of his strength.

While taking refuge, Lin Xueying suddenly trembled all over, and her face lost all color. "It's so cold..."

"Who are you?" Lin Yu's voice was a little hoarse, and the light blade trembled slightly in his hand. "In the Antimatter Corps, I have never seen a character who can control technology. What is your relationship with the King of Casting?"

Tie Mu did not answer immediately, but slowly raised his hand. The surveillance cameras on both sides of the passage suddenly turned to Lin Yu and the other two. Dark gray light flashed in the lens. The equipment originally used for recording now became the "eyes" aimed at them.

"relation?"

"I am Lord Nanook's 'Cleaner', cleaning up all civilizations. You are just clearing the obstacles on the road."

"Nanook?" Dan Heng's pupils shrank slightly. "Are you the Lord of Extinction?"

Ren stared at the gap in Tiemu's armor and said in a cold tone, "No matter who you are, it's impossible for you to destroy this place." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly jumped up and slashed Tiemu's neck with the sword.

But Tiemu just slightly turned sideways, and the dark gray energy condensed into a shield in front of him. With a crisp "clang" sound, the knife light was bounced away.

The blade was shocked and retreated repeatedly.

At the same time, Silver Wolf's rapid breathing could be heard over the communicator. "Lin Yu! I've found a clue! The frequency of this energy fluctuation is very similar to the residual energy from the Antimatter Legion's invasion of the Augur Star Ring! But in the end, the entire civilization of the Augur Star Ring was wiped out, and all the technological equipment was reduced to scrap metal!"

"Augur Star Ring?" Lin Yu's heart sank. "Are you saying that this guy in front of me is the murderer who destroyed the Augur Star Ring?"

"Highly likely!" Silver Wolf nodded on the other end of the line. "The company cracked an encrypted communication from that time. It mentioned the name 'Iron Tomb' and described it as 'the nightmare of technological civilization'! It can cause all inorganic devices to defect and even contaminate the core logic of intelligent computers, causing them to kill their masters!"

Tiemu's eyes flickered slightly when he heard the word "Iron Tomb." He finally spoke up, "It seems some still remember the 'glory' of the Orgul Star Ring. The intelligent computer there ultimately detonated the planet's core with its own hands. They're much more sensible than you stubborn 'carbon-based creatures.'"

At this moment, Liuying's voice suddenly came from the communicator. It was calm but could not hide its urgency. "Lin Yu, there is an abnormality in the shelter. There are out-of-control robots moving towards the civilian area. Their programs seem to have been tampered with. The attack instructions are directed at the core of the shelter. Xueying and I have stopped the first wave, but the number of guards is increasing. We need backup."

Lin Yu's heart sank again, and the thing he was most worried about happened.

The Iron Tomb is not only interfering with the underground hub, but is also controlling the mechanical units on the surface at the same time. It is obvious that it wants to use "double-line containment" to prevent them from taking care of each other.

"How is Xueying? Is she injured?" Lin Yu asked hurriedly.

He knew that Xueying was no longer a child who needed to be hidden behind him, but facing this unknown mechanical control, he still couldn't help but worry.

"I'm fine, Dad." Xueying's voice came through the communicator, crisp and clear, with the crisp sound of metal clashing. "There are traces of energy flowing through the joints of these machines. It should be the same source as yours. I tried to cut the energy lines with the dagger you gave me, but they were quickly reactivated. It's like they're being controlled by a remote signal."

"Where are Aglaya and the others? Didn't they help you?" Lin Yu suddenly remembered Aglaya, Tibao and others who stayed in the shelter. They should be able to suppress the mechanical units, so how could they put Liuying and Xueying in a difficult battle.

Liuying paused, "Aglaya and Tibao are strengthening the shelter's defenses, while Xilian and Fengjin are evacuating the people and moving them to deeper bunkers."

"Just now, a wave of robots raided the evacuation passage. Aglaya has exhausted most of his energy protecting the people and is unable to come to support us for the time being."

"Now it's just Xueying and I blocking the front. If we hold on for another five minutes, the defense gate will be breached."

"Also, no one knows where Cerydela and the others went. They said Aglaia asked them to go to another place."

Lin Yu's eyes swept across the iron tomb in front of him, and he made a decision in his heart. He shouted to Dan Heng and Ren, "Dan Heng, go back to the shelter to support Liu Ying and Xue Ying first! Try to delay the robot's attack speed and protect the people!"

"Then what will you do?" Dan Heng immediately objected, "You are the only one here who can barely withstand the energy of the Iron Tomb. If I leave, you and Blade will not be able to hold on."

Ren immediately stepped forward and stopped another wave of attacking mechanical arms in mid-air, "Don't waste time! Lin Yu and I can hold Tie Mu back! Don't forget, we have even killed the Lord of Extinction, so why are we afraid of this one?" He deliberately emphasized the four words "Lord of Extinction" and stared at Tie Mu with a provocative look.

This was both to irritate Tiemu and to reassure Danheng.

Tie Mu was clearly irritated by Ren's words. His energy suddenly surged, and the metal walls on both sides of the passage began to peel off. Countless tiny metal fragments floated in the air, transforming into sharp blades that shot towards the three people. "You reckless carbon-based creatures, dare to challenge the authority of the 'Cleanser'? I will make you die a more miserable death than the intelligent brain of the Augur Star Ring!"

"Now!" Lin Yu seized the moment when Tie Mu was distracted and suddenly wrapped Dan Heng's wrist with the vines of Abundant Catalysis Chu, "Go!"

Dan Heng looked at Lin Yu's determined eyes, and then at the bloody sword light, "Okay, I'll come back as soon as possible, you must hold on!" He turned around, and the spear drew a ray of light behind him, sweeping away the incoming metal fragments, and rushed towards the exit of the passage.

After running a few steps, he turned around and shouted, "Lin Yu! The Iron Tomb seems to rely on technological equipment. Try to destroy the surrounding machinery!"
