My future is invincible?

Chapter 341 The Night of the Hunt
The massive mobile city fortress, amidst a deafening roar, can move across the metal continent using crushing and absorbing devices located on its tracks. Simultaneously, it continuously absorbs matter through its enormous base, converting it into universal energy at the heart of the city.

If one wants to leave the continent beneath their feet and travel to other continents, the only way is to follow the Rainbow Bridge's trajectory and migrate via a temporary super-elastic metal floating bridge (anti-gravity technology).

Whenever a mobile city undertakes a transcontinental migration.

These are seasons when wild animals are extremely excited.

Because in this area, if you can get gold coins from the mobile city, it's much better than struggling to farm in the wild. After all, grabbing is always faster than painstakingly accumulating.

Once this spectacular city is started, it cannot be stopped.

Because stopping means total depletion.

Its concept clearly originates from that unscientific Snowpiercer. The apocalyptic and unscientific style of the movie doesn't seem unreasonable when placed in the megastructure world. However, compared to other areas, it seems somewhat outdated. After all, such bulky and crude structures are generally only seen in the steam age.

Supermicro Heavy Industry No. 114514.

This is a mobile city built by the organization Overclock Heavy Industries after it spread to the Metal Continent region.

The purpose of building this city is very simple.

Without the protection of city walls, it would be difficult for androids to gain a foothold in this area.

Not to mention their archenemy, silicon, the endless stream of silicon beasts that could spawn at any moment in residential areas would be enough to slowly wear down the androids. However, if they built immobile cities to isolate the beasts, they would face the dilemma of beast hordes and difficulty in obtaining resources. Thus, mobile cities came into being.

A mobile city can cover a very large area.

Its size is equivalent to four times the total size of Shanghai.

This level of steel city, with its walls reaching 500 meters high, is like a giant mountain rolling across the continent when it moves. Countless wild beasts that would otherwise avoid the continent are crushed into primordial debris along its path, which then becomes part of the city.

Even if silicon-controlled beasts use outer arc attacks and grappling hooks and maps to invade cities, they often can't cause much of a stir. They are all driven out by the androids in the sealed-off areas, who are armed with personal portable superweapons. They are never able to conquer the city.

Does that mean cities are impregnable?
Just like any fortress that will never fall, once a defensive structure is labeled as invincible, it is not far from falling. People think that because it will never fall, they don't need to worry about anything and that hiding behind the fortress is absolutely safe. Little do they know that when they are paralyzed by safety, danger has already quietly arrived.

When Lan Yi rode a feathered serpent of the futuristic form, following the fragmented clues provided by the beast followers, and broke through layers of mist to find this mobile city in a corner of the middle region, the city was like an old man on his deathbed, struggling to keep moving forward on the metal continent.

It moves very slowly.

Relative to its size, it's like crawling at a snail's pace.

Under normal circumstances, the movement of a mobile city should be at the pace of a rabbit running, while crawling at a snail's pace is usually seen when the Rainbow Bridge is being built.

Clearly, there's something wrong with the mobile city.

After dismounting, I patted the feathered serpent dragon, instructing it to carry some information back to contact the skeleton.

Fourteen kilometers away, the Blue Demon began to release reconnaissance-type Taoist techniques to scout the mobile city in the distance. One after another, electromagnetic clones, like ghosts, ignored the chaotic electromagnetic and gravity environment under the enhancement of the elongated Burning Heaven Thunder Soldier Prison, and moved toward the target with divine speed.

"Huh? Plague?" "Night of the Hunt?"

"Ancient gods are reviving? Something's off about the art style of this mobile city. It was supposed to be a futuristic, high-tech style, but suddenly it jumped to the Victorian era. Could it be that some old codger in this world wants to jump out of his coffin in the virtual layer?"

Lan Yi's conjecture is not without merit.

However, the information gathered by the electromagnetic stand-in overturned this conjecture and also told him how this mobile city gradually fell into ruin.

The cause of the fall was a plague, or rather, a bestiality disease.

It sounds bizarre, that androids can get sick? The answer is yes, they really can get sick, and this beast-like disease is likely caused by the information field, or more accurately, a field curse.

The mobile city is constantly crushing and reaping.

They were ambushed by silicon.

It was the group of silicon-like beings that Lan Yi saw in the whale-man's memory projection. After failing to conquer the mobile city by force, they came up with a particularly wicked tactic: throwing excrement into the mobile city's conveyor belts. This excrement consisted of all sorts of random wild animal carcasses, which were laced with something before being thrown into the conveyor belts.

This material refers to the concept of degradation.

Since ancient times, silicon-based organisms have degenerated into numerous wild beasts in the metallic continental regions.

This concept, like a toxin, has accumulated deeply within the information field, but under normal circumstances, it does not affect the reality layer. However, with the appearance of psionic cultivators, a certain unscrupulous merchant made a deal in the virtual layer, allowing the silicon beings to create something in the reality layer.

That's right, it's Jin, who has already died tragically.

It committed a sin, dragging a portion of the cesspool (subspace) beneath the giant world into reality.

Siliconware seized this opportunity.

Using this information, which resembles the evil of this world, they began to dump excrement on the mobile city. The androids in the mobile city, forced to accept the situation, did not take it seriously, and then disaster began to befall the city.

First, the mobile city began to become sinister and distorted.

For example, in an artificial night, a road that has never been recorded might suddenly appear, or an elevator in the city might suddenly turn into a gaping maw when no one is watching, or even a barbecue party might suddenly appear in the city center for no reason.

By the time the androids realized something was wrong and started keeping the lights on around the clock, it was too late.

Night has fallen.

Even when the city lights illuminate it like daytime, the night begins to loom over the city, as if deliberately reinforcing this concept. Whenever night falls, ghosts and monsters emerge from the city, as if the drain plug has been pulled, and many things begin to rush upwards in accordance with this concept!
The androids began to form hunters, armed with weapons and carrying daylight lamps, to hunt down monsters.

However, this was just the beginning of the real nightmare.

Forced to dance with monsters, the androids were quickly infected with the blood of beasts in the frequent and continuous killing. Their originally beautiful and well-proportioned bodies gradually became mutated as they wielded high-frequency meat saws and gravity shotguns. They got lost in the night of the hunt and eventually became beasts!
