Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 422 421. This is just a beginning

To fill the gaps in his plan, Cypher had the mechanical monsters develop their own operational limits and dig underground.

It didn't matter if they encountered hard concrete, they could hardly hear any sound from it... The root cause was that the sound of gunfire was simply too loud.

The entire fortress defense area was shaking, so this kind of home improvement-level movement naturally couldn't cause any waves.

Miss Nana's singing voice, like a spiritual pillar, is extremely effective, so she was invited to the fortress's broadcasting station, hoping that she can continue to comfort and inspire those who are fighting with her unique voice.

Of course, she was happy to respond to this request, so the morale of the entire fortress continued to rise - although their defense line was shrinking.

At this time, Leica, who was monitoring the fortress, had a strange look on her face.

How should I put it... If I were in a fortress and was inspired by such an environment, I would surely become a part of it.

Because people are naturally able to empathize with others, this empathy can even blur certain thoughts or ideas - it's like becoming part of them.

This tendency was extremely effective at any time...but now, she was sitting in a place that didn't look like a human being, doing things that didn't look like something a good person would do.

And, follow a beautiful girl whose role seems to be to destroy the human race on this planet.

She looks like a beautiful girl, but it’s hard to say what kind of character she is inside.

In short, no matter how Laika thought about it, she felt that the place where she was now was the place that should be covered by artillery fire and left with no land left to grow...

But she quickly regained her composure—this level of entanglement was actually quite unimportant. Because across from her was the guy who was now controlling the fortress and making it somewhat entertaining.

Those guys are some core members of the entertainment company. They are scheming and even want to throw the entire college city into the lava just to satisfy their own selfish desires.

This kind of person is the real, most disgusting "evil person." In comparison, the so-called evil person that Alu pursues is just a good kid who doesn't want to follow the rules and is willful.

Unaware that she had been suddenly taken along, Ah Lu was concentrating on adjusting the formation of the mechanical monsters so that they wouldn't be shattered to pieces by a single round of bombardment...

As Cypher looked up, the preparations were complete.

"Leica, help me monitor the situation in the fortress, Shengnai..."

As soon as he started, he saw Shengnai sitting upright in a chair. In front of him was a form related to the biological activity information inside the fortress, which had been prepared long ago.

"...Okay, five seconds."

Seifer stretched out his hand, his white palm and five long, slender fingers making one want to hold it in his hand or put it in his mouth.

The people in the fortress were still roaring machine guns, and every second someone fell down due to excessive tension, having to be replaced by others.

But they didn't know that many unprecedented mechanical monsters were already crawling on the outer walls of the fortress.

These things fixed themselves to the walls, the weak firing windows, and even the ceiling which was thick enough to withstand the bombardment of powerful missiles...

The drill in its body, which was specially designed to drill through concrete, armored steel and other mixed defenses, had already quickly drilled through the wall during the stalemate, and was just one step away from the final blow.

Beneath the ground, the mechanical monsters that had already dug a tunnel were also retreating, connecting the pipes connected to their bodies to the foundations embedded in the solid rock...

A full-scale shower (non-lethal) is already in place.

Seifer slowly closed her palms, and the moment she clenched her fists, the people who were fighting were shocked to find... the wall was broken!

There weren't many breaches, and they were all in places unrelated to the support. The breached walls hadn't even been penetrated by lethal ammunition or explosives, but what came out was even more terrifying than explosives!
Green-yellow gas emitted from the pipes with a deathly hissing sound and continued to spray into the fortress. Not only on the walls, but also above the head and under the feet... In all directions, this gas was gushing everywhere!
The air, which was just a little stuffy just now, became turbid in an instant. The strange gas with a hint of fruity sweetness made many people cover their mouths and noses immediately.

Even though these mechanical monsters have never used poison gas, perhaps they have evolved and become smarter? Because people didn't build fortresses like this before!

At first, some people just felt unwell, but soon some people were coughing, found it difficult to breathe, and even had dizziness (mainly due to the effect of the anesthetic).

The singing was interrupted and drowned out by panicked shouts and cries for help. The green and yellow gas that filled the entire fortress continued to spread, causing chaos wherever it went.

This sturdy fortress suddenly turned into a deadly den!

The people from the entertainment company, hiding in their rooms, were able to react at first. They quickly checked for any possible consequences of this strange phenomenon, and were shocked to discover...

There is no such development, it does not exist at all. These black machines have never used poison gas attacks in the past, present or future.

So what happened?

Even the instigator who was passionately commentating on the scene was stunned for a moment.

If the development in the vision is not so conventional, how can we predict the future, and how can we attract investors and make money with "time travel" and "immortality"?

But how he smooths things over has nothing to do with Cypher. The number of active personnel in the entire fortress is decreasing rapidly, and in the end, the only ones left are... the people in the machines.

There are also those people in the Academy City who were coaxed into wearing winter clothes and were about to set off but were blocked, and are now stubbornly staying awake in the fortress.

They were carefully checking the fallen people, and they would probably soon find out that these people were just unconscious and not killed on the spot by the poison gas.

So we have to be quick next.

The fortress's resistance disappeared in an instant. Those people from the entertainment company who were hiding in the room put on filtering breathing masks and prepared to escape temporarily through the safe passage that had been prepared long ago.

Anyway, there are so many gathering places in the world. You can get through freely as long as you use the company's identification badge. There is no need to stay in such a place!

In the tunnel, when this group of people were retreating, several mechanical monsters with sickle blades squatted quietly in the passage and met them.

These people immediately turned around and were about to go back to find another way, when a mechanical monster with sharp melee weapons also walked out from behind them, blocking the entire underground tunnel.

Pitiful screams echoed throughout the underground tunnel, and in the end, only the sound of metal cutting through flesh and bones remained.

However, after conquering the fortress, Seifer was not happy. She was busy letting the mechanical monsters enter the fortress, knocking down the unsuspecting students of the academy city and then taking them in.

By the way, identify which ones are students, which ones are guys who have infiltrated from the entertainment company, and... the backstage employees.

At this moment, Xiaotao suddenly cried out.

"It suddenly occurred to me, does this mean that we are now closest to Miss Nana? In other words, we can take a photo with her later—"

I've already been mesmerized, but you only want to take a photo?

Seifer looked at her for a moment, slowly shook his head, and then continued to ask Laika how to end the vision early now that they had taken control of the fortress.

Xiaotao felt like she was being treated like a fool.
