From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 169: The Escapers’ Contact Method
After escaping from the Mechanical Colosseum, the three finally saw this prosperous cyber city.

It's completely different from the cyber wasteland I've seen before.

The skyscrapers in the cyber wasteland are all dilapidated, the entire city is shrouded in a layer of gray fog, and even the blue and purple neon lights exude an air of decay.

However, the planet we are on now is the second Gaia star in the capital star circle of the Sykes civilization and one of the most prosperous planets of the Sykes civilization.

In a city full of tall buildings, vehicles are not limited to driving on the ground. Many vehicles appear in the air and fly over people's heads.

It was the first time that Su Muyu and Lin Zeyu saw a vehicle flying overhead and they were stunned.

Lu Heng looked calm because he had seen it before in his previous life.

"Are those flying cars? Why are they flying?" Lin Zeyu opened his mouth so wide that an orange could fit in.

"Anti-gravity technology belongs to the technology of 2.0 stellar civilization, and the Sykes civilization has already mastered it. However, ground vehicles have not been completely abandoned, and anti-gravity equipment is very expensive." Lu Heng explained.

The Sykes civilization has indeed lit up the anti-gravity technology tree, but this technology has only just begun to be commercialized, so there are not many flying cars.

"Do you think Blue Star will become like this in the future?" Lin Zeyu found everything new and interesting.

"If humans can develop into a stellar civilization, it will probably be like this." Lu Heng was actually not sure because he had never seen human civilization develop to level 2.0.

Today's human civilization is only level 0.8, which is far from level 2.0.

"Where are we going now?" Lin Zeyu was like a questioning machine. He was completely confused when he came to this "future world".

"We only have 15 days to complete the Abyss Battlefield this time. There are many things to do and not a single day can be wasted, so we must find a force to help us." Lu Heng has already thought of the direction.

"How to find him? Capture a faction leader, put a gun to his head, and order him to do things. How about this method?" Lin Zeyu asked with a grin.

"Not so good. The moment you pull out your gun, you will be blown to pieces by the micro fusion bomb." Su Muyu directly suppressed his idea.

When she was exploring the structure of the Colosseum just now, she also saw the battle between the mechanical beasts and the Winged Demon Leader.

The Winged Demon Commander of the same level was so powerful when he was at the Evil God's Burial Ground.

But even such a powerful commander-level demon, after being captured by the Sykes civilization, became a toy in the Colosseum.

"What fusion bomb?" Lin Zeyu didn't think in that direction for a moment.

"Nuclear bomb." Lu Heng told him the answer.

"What is that? Can a nuclear bomb be used casually?" Lin Zeyu widened his eyes.

"Controlled nuclear fusion is 1.0 technology. Nuclear fusion to the Sykes civilization is similar to how humans view TNT," Lu Heng explained.

"Is it so powerful?" Lin Zeyu only regretted not studying hard. He could never imagine that the nuclear bomb that humans feared so much was just a conventional weapon in the Sykes civilization.

He still felt that it was a bit beyond his imagination: "No, aren't you afraid of radiation?"

Lu Heng smiled and said, "I am afraid, but not too much. Besides, the micro-fusion bombs made by the Sykes civilization have very little residual radiation, and the Sykes civilization has very complete radiation cleaning technology.

“Even if there is residual radiation, we can just push a machine over and sweep it away, and it will be cleaned up.

"However, these are not the most important things. The most important thing is that the Sykes civilization has completed the mechanical transformation. 99% of the citizens are mechanical and are not afraid of radiation."

What is really afraid of nuclear radiation is organic life forms, because nuclear radiation can cause organic diseases in organic life forms.

Robots are different. If a part is damaged by radiation, they can be taken back to the factory and replaced.

Therefore, the use of miniature nuclear weapons by the Sykes civilization has become normalized.

"That's outrageous." Lin Zeyu finally understood how dangerous this world is: "Then what should we do? Where should we go now?"

"Come with me."

Lu Heng led the two along the street, looking for a way to contact a faction.

Because they did not have visas, the three were considered unknown alien species in the city of Sykes civilization. Once discovered, they would be arrested by mechanical guards.

Fortunately, there is a mechanical tiger.

The mechanical tiger is a real mechanical fighting beast with a Sykes account.

Moreover, mechanical beast fighting is something that only the upper nobles can afford, so the "household registration" level of mechanical beast fighting is very high.

Therefore, when encountering mechanical guards for inspection, mechanical tigers would come to rescue them.

……

After crossing several streets, Lu Heng found a computer terminal that could contact the faction.

In fact.

In his previous life, Lu Heng had come into contact with a faction of the Sykes civilization, which was the Escape Faction.

After the abyss descended, differences began to emerge within the Sykes civilization.

The three most powerful factions are the Adventists, the Salvationists, and the Escapers.

The Adventists believe that the power of the abyss is great, and that choosing to accept the baptism of the abyss can gain power that surpasses civilized technology.

The purpose of the Advent Sect's existence is to welcome the coming of the Abyss, and they don't even mind handing over civilization to the rule of the Abyss.

Therefore, the Adventists are the agents of the abyss in the Sykes civilization.

The Salvation Faction hopes to save civilization from the quagmire of the abyss, and this faction firmly believes that with the technological power of civilization, it can easily resist the invasion of the abyss.

The Salvation Faction is also the faction with the most supporters.

This shows that the vast majority of citizens of the Sykes civilization have not gone crazy.

The escape faction is another special group. They believe that the abyss is invincible and that they should escape from their current star system and develop in another star system before the abyss completely devours civilization. The civilization level of Sykes civilization is 2.1, which has taken the first step towards galactic civilization and does have the ability to travel between stars.

If they choose to flee, the Sykes civilization does have the ability to continue the flame of civilization.

However, once you choose to escape, it means giving up your homeland.

This is something that most Sykes people are unwilling to face, so the number of supporters of the escape faction was very small in the early days of the abyss invasion.

……

In the Sykes civilization, these three factions have other nicknames.

Adventists were considered "extremists," Salvationists were called "arrogant," and Escapists were ridiculed as "cowards."

When Lu Heng was recruited into the Sykes world in his previous life, he once joined a faction, which, unfortunately, was the Escape Faction.

Therefore, Lu Heng knew the internal communication method of the fugitive faction.

Lu Heng is in urgent need of the power of a faction to do things. Even though the number of people in the escaped faction is relatively small, it is enough.

After all, it is impossible to really control a large faction in such a short period of time.

Lu Heng contacted the regional manager of the Fugitive Faction through a computer terminal using the Fugitive Faction's internal communication method and agreed on a meeting time and place.

The agreed time was in the evening and the meeting place was on the bank of the artificial river.

night.

The whole city is immersed in blue and purple neon lights, which has a unique beauty.

Lu Heng and the other two came to the bank of the artificial river, but did not go out to meet them immediately. Instead, they observed from the shore.

The banks and embankments of the artificial river are all lit with neon lights, looking like a winding blue-purple dragon, very magical.

Su Muyu leaned on the guardrail with both hands and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful."

It is indeed very beautiful, but the water flowing in the artificial river is industrial wastewater, although it is treated industrial wastewater.

In fact, this artificial river is more like a canal as big as a river, and its function is to discharge wastewater.

The time came to nine o'clock in the evening.

A cylindrical robot appeared on the river bank.

When the robot arrived at the agreed coordinate location, its head began to rotate 360 ​​degrees, looking for the contact person.

Its location is the exact coordinate agreed upon, without a deviation of even a centimeter.

"Is it that robot?" Su Muyu asked.

"It should be. I'll go over to make the connection. You stay here. If the situation is not right, retreat."

Although he had joined the escape faction of the Sykes civilization in his previous life, Lu Heng decided to go to the streets alone for the sake of caution.

"Okay." Su Muyu nodded and opened the invisible curtain to cover both the mechanical tiger and Lin Zeyu.

Lu Heng walked towards the river bank and stood in front of the cylindrical robot.

This cylindrical robot is about one meter tall, has no legs and moves on wheels.

After seeing Lu Heng appear, the cylindrical robot emitted a scanning beam, scanning Lu Heng from top to bottom, and then began to ask questions: "What kind of creature are you?"

Lu Heng answered frankly: "Humans come from another civilization."

Cylinder Robot: "What is your purpose in contacting us?"

Lu Heng had already thought of a statement before he came: "I have a deep understanding of the Abyss. I think the Sykes civilization needs to make plans to preserve the spark of civilization, so I hope to meet with the leader of your faction."

In daily spoken language, this faction is referred to as the "escape faction", but within this faction, they do not call themselves that.

This faction has another official name, called the "Civilization Spark Continuation Plan."

The cylindrical robot continued to ask questions: "You need to provide more information so that we can consider whether you are qualified to see the leader."

Lu Heng had joined this faction in his previous life, so as long as there was enough time, it would not be difficult to convince the managers of this faction.

Just as Lu Heng was about to speak, dozens of miniature missiles suddenly appeared in the sky and shot towards him at a speed that broke the sound barrier.

Lu Heng's eyes focused, and he immediately saw the micro missile appear. He immediately used the source skill [Shadow Travel] and disappeared into the shadows.

The speed of these micro missiles was so fast that it exceeded the speed of sound. In the blink of an eye, they hit the place where Lu Heng and the cylindrical robot were standing.

boom! boom! boom……

The violent explosion instantly plowed dozens of large holes in the ground.

The cylinder robot was reduced to ashes in the explosion.

Su Muyu and Lin Zeyu saw this scene from three hundred meters away and were so anxious that they almost cried out.

Fortunately, the next second, Lu Heng rushed out from the center of the explosion.

Su Muyu immediately controlled the Divine Feather Eagle to fly up and released an invisible curtain to make Lu Heng invisible.

Lu Heng had just entered stealth mode when the place he passed by was bombarded intensively by micro-missiles.

Then, more than a dozen mechanical guards rushed up and began searching around.

After the three of them reunited, they immediately evacuated the riverside area to avoid the search by the mechanical guards.
