Cough cough cough cough cough...

Chen Xiaolian struggled to get up from the driver's seat. He felt dizzy, which was a sequelae of shock.

As for the cough, it was not because the explosion of smoke and dust entered the mecha, but because Chen Xiaolian lifted it from the driver's seat during the violent explosion and shock just now. Fortunately, there was a fixed belt on his body, so he did not fly out. But despite this, his neck and chest also hit the joystick, making him unable to help coughing, and at the same time, there was a heart-wrenching pain in his chest!

Chen Xiaolian did not hesitate and immediately took out a healing potion and stuffed it into his mouth. He didn't want him to die in the explosion, but died of internal injuries and internal bleeding.

He climbed onto the bridge in a hurry and saw outside the monitor...

The body of the mecha was wrapped with a light golden energy defense shield.

This energy shield is already very thin, probably spending too much energy during the explosion. Chen Xiaolian could see that the energy bar on the mecha's console had dropped to the lowest area and turned red.

You can see outside the monitor that the entire equipment room has been turned into ruins.

Because it was not an ordinary explosion, but the result of energy shock, there were not many open flames in the entire underground factory, but the underground structure was torn and deformed violently during the explosion.

At the same time, the result of energy shocks has resulted in a huge destructive killing effect.

On the ground, there were so many destroyed electronic guards that were densely packed. These disgusting mechanical octopuses were all broken and turned into various fragments of large and small size. Their torso and tentacles had broken, and all the fragments fell to the ground. Looking around, there were hundreds of them.

In the explosion of energy shock, it is obvious that almost all the electronic guards rushing into the underground factory were destroyed in an instant! At the same time, a large number of instruments in the underground factory were also destroyed in the explosion, and some scattered flames appeared.

The ceiling has collapsed on a large scale, and the metal parts of the isolation layer above have also fallen down. In a short while, the underground space has not completely collapsed.

Chen Xiaolian observed in the mecha for a few seconds before finally breathing a sigh of relief.

The passage at the end of the factory had completely collapsed and disappeared in the explosion. It can be imagined that in such a violent explosion, the passage must have been completely collapsed and blocked.

Chen Xiaolian doesn't think that after losing the electronic guard, players outside can easily open up the isolation layer that is 500 meters deep.

What's more, there have been misalignment and faults after explosions underground.

"Zero City." Chen Xiaolian breathed: "Are you still here? What should I do now?"

Chen Xiaolian’s question received an answer from Lingcheng.

"Your life indicators are generally normal, that is, you have temporarily escaped this disaster." Lingcheng's answer was still so dry: "Now you have to come out of the mecha immediately. According to my calculations, time is still very tight."

"Well?"

"The explosion cleared the electronic guards in the area, which is safe for the time being. However, the energy release of the explosion caused great damage to this underground factory and the structure has been severely damaged. According to my calculations, the underground space will completely collapse in about ten minutes."

Chen Xiaolian was stunned for a moment, and opened the cockpit without hesitation, and then climbed out with his hands and feet.

After the explosion, the air outside naturally is not so comfortable and even a little choking.

"Is it only ten minutes? So what should I do? Since you have made this plan, you must have a way to get me out of here, right?"

Chen Xiaolian was not too worried.

"Yes." Zero City did not disappoint Chen Xiaolian. It answered: "According to the calculation, about eight minutes later, a temporary teleportation point will appear here, located fifteen meters above you, and I have marked it in your personal radar. This teleportation point will only appear for three seconds, but it is enough for you to leave. It will teleport you to the outside world.

And you are locked by the system, I will help you to release it within five minutes."

"...In other words, the crisis was resolved?" Chen Xiaolian breathed a sigh of relief.

"According to my calculations, it's like this. You now have eight minutes of free time. I have observed that some players are on the ground about 480 meters above your current location, but according to the effects caused by the explosion, they want to break through to the ground and cannot do it in a short time. As for the electronic guards, the electronic guards in Zero City have been cleared, and the system will transport more electronic guards, which also takes time. That is to say, you are safe now."

Chen Xiaolian nodded and suddenly said, "So... what about Blue Ocean and their retreat plan?"

"Because you attracted a lot of hunting, the Blue Ocean retreat plan was not damaged or disturbed. It was just that there was a little fluctuation in the explosion just now, but it is still going smoothly. However, the final result cannot be estimated. According to my calculations, their retreat speed is behind the schedule, so it may appear in the end. After the teleportation point disappears, there are still a small number of people unable to leave."

Chen Xiaolian was silent for a moment and sighed: "This is also impossible... We have tried our best to withdraw most of the people, which is the best result."

Chen Xiaolian jumped off the mecha and stood on the ground.

Eight minutes left...

He looked around and first determined the location of the temporary teleportation point that appeared eight minutes later. It was more than ten meters above him. It was tilted a little after the explosion. Fortunately, the space was still there and it did not collapse. Otherwise, if the teleportation point was buried in the collapsed ruins, it would be unlucky.

After looking at the mecha beside him, Chen Xiaolian suddenly felt a sense of emotion.

This is a good thing!

The cost is eight times that of Martial Angel, and it is definitely the top-level equipment!

Although it has not been completed, even Lingcheng said that its protective shield is superb, and it has been proven that such a thing has been proven in the explosion just now, so Chen Xiaolian will naturally not let it go.

"Can I take it away?"

"You are the one with the highest authority sequence in Zero City. Of course, you have the right to dispose of the ownership of all items in Zero City." Zero City's answer satisfied Chen Xiaolian.

Without hesitation, he put the mecha into the storage watch.

"Although there is protection from the energy shield, some components of the mecha were still damaged during the explosion just now, and many parts of it were not completed. Even if you take it away, with the technological level of the outside world, the possibility of you repairing it to the state before the explosion is zero. As for completely completing it, it is even more impossible."

"I'll keep it for the souvenir, can't it be?" Chen Xiaolian snorted.

He walked away, suddenly his feet slipped, looked down and saw himself stepping on the wreckage of an electronic guard mechanical octopus.

The torso was broken into three pieces, and there were scattered tentacles.

Chen Xiaolian squatted down and reached out to touch the thing. The touch felt cold. I don’t know what metal it was made of.

Chen Xiaolian suddenly felt a little moved!

Although these things have been destroyed, they... do not seem to be completely useless!

This is the electronic guard!

It's definitely a rare item.

If the wreckage of these things is brought back, Roddy, who has strong mechanical capabilities, will study it...

Well, even if Roddy can't find any results, throwing it all into the base's smelting furnace can still be converted into a lot of energy!

Thinking of this, Chen Xiaolian was delighted!

There are still seven or eight minutes left, which is enough to do a lot of things.

He immediately became busy and frantically picked up all the wreckage of the mechanical octopus that he could pick up on the ground into his storage watch.

He didn't choose at all. As long as he could see, no matter how severely the damage was, he would sweep into his storage watch.

And just after he quickly picked up more than a dozen wreckages, suddenly, Chen Xiaolian exclaimed!

He saw a mechanical octopus on the ground in front of his left, as if he was slowly squirming!

Chen Xiaolian immediately drew out the sword in the stone and pointed at the thing vigilantly!

"There is a fish that escapes the net? Didn't you say that they were all destroyed?"

"I mean to be destroyed, not all killed. Destruction means: it is damaged and cannot continue working."

Lingcheng's answer left Chen Xiaolian speechless.

He walked over and used the tip of his sword to pick up the mechanical octopus.

The damage to this thing is still very serious, but at least the main torso is kept intact, but a few of the tentacles are broken.

Chen Xiaolian noticed that the mechanical eyes on the octopus' head also had a faint light. Although it was weak, after all... it did not die.

"This thing..." Chen Xiaolian suddenly felt aroused in his heart: "Zero City, what is the function of this thing?"

"It is a low-level electronic life created by the system. It is not an intelligent product in the ordinary sense, but a real electronic life, although it is a low-level one. The one you captured consumes all its energy to defend in the explosion. It is in a dormant state at this moment. It is very lucky that the subject remains intact and the mechanical parts are seriously damaged, but it is not fatal."

Chen Xiaolian thought for a while: "I will bring this thing back, there will be no danger, right?"

"No, every electronic guard is a one-time consumable. After the energy is exhausted, it will go to sleep and restart, and the previous task commands will be reset, so even if you can fix it, it will not treat you as the 'priority target'.

But I would like to remind you that this thing is not something suitable for being a pet. The initial setting of the electronic guard will actively attack all life objects that can be seen in the area. This is the initial setting. In other words, even if you fix it, it will be an unconscious and will freely attack all targets... Well, I found an adjective: Mad Dog.

Of course, with your strength, a single electronic guard is not enough to pose a danger to you."

"Is there a way to control it?" Chen Xiaolian was a little curious.

"I don't know." Chen Xiaolian was surprised by Lingcheng's answer. Lingcheng continued: "Although I was once part of the system, I have never made an item like Electronic Guard, so I lack full understanding of its functions. If you are interested, you can take it back and try it."

Chen Xiaolian grabbed this thing and grabbed its tentacles and lifted it up. This thing was very heavy.

Just as Chen Xiaolian was about to throw it into the storage watch, suddenly, the thing changed.

The mechanical octopus' tentacles suddenly contracted and retracted into its torso and head.

Then, the entire torso and head continued to contract, and within a few seconds, it turned into an oval metal ball the size of a fist.

Well, to be precise, it looks like a metal egg?

"This is?"

"This is the electronic guard who goes into dormant state. Its energy is exhausted." Zero City replied: "You can take it back and study it slowly. Now it is safe and it will not wake up unless it is replenished."

Only then did Chen Xiaolian throw the metal egg into the storage equipment.

Chen Xiaolian looked at the time, and there were more than five minutes left.

He continued to search around, trying to find more electronic guards who were still "alive", but unfortunately he was never so lucky. Instead, the ruins collected a lot of them.

And just when Chen Xiaolian collected about fifty mechanical octopuses...

Suddenly, he suddenly stood up!

Because Chen Xiaolian heard a slight voice coming from behind him.
