220: Chapter 220 The Hunt Never Ends!

"My god, with this formation, anyone who didn't know better would think aliens were attacking Blue Star."

Lin Keke squatted by the island, still clutching half an energy bar in her hand.

She stared at the red light surging like a tide on the distant horizon, curling her lip in slight disdain.

There were over a thousand bizarrely shaped mechanical synthetic beasts.

Some resembled cheetahs, but with two six-barrel rotary machine guns welded onto their backs.

Some looked like giant apes, their arms modified into hydraulic crushing hammers, smashing a deep pit into the ground with every step.

"Second Sister, how many has the radar locked onto?"

Chen Du exhaled a puff of blue smoke.

"Reporting to the Captain, there are a total of 1,284 energy reaction signals."

Xia Lai's voice carried a hint of excitement; she was currently sitting in the main control cabin, operating the entire fortress's weapon system.

"My, these Stitched Monsters really spared no expense. It looks like we've truly stirred up a hornet's nest this time!"

Chen Du tilted his head slightly, looking up at the sky.

Deep within the clouds, a blinding silver spot of light was rapidly expanding.

"One with wings is coming."

As his voice fell, a deafening explosion erupted from the sky.

A man wearing silver streamlined heavy armor, with eight laser longswords emitting cold light floating behind him, slowly descended.

He hovered in mid-air, looking down at the massive fortress, No. 0819.

"Ignorant ants, how dare you destroy our outpost."

"That was the ladder of redemption bestowed upon you by the Mechanical Divine Court."

The man's voice was devoid of emotion, echoing over the forest through a loudspeaker.

"Surrender obediently, and I shall grant you a whole corpse!"

Hearing this, Chen Du almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He fished a lighter out of his trench coat pocket and lit a cigarette with a click.

"You think you're Ultraman just because you're wearing silver leather armor?"

"If you want my life, get your ass down here and take it yourself!"

The moment he finished speaking, he abruptly waved his hand.

"Hit them, hit them hard!"

Boom—!

The main guns of No. 0819, which had already preheated, suddenly spat out two ten-meter-long tongues of blazing fire!

The recoil of the twin-mounted heavy naval guns shook the entire fortress.

Two armor-piercing shells whistled shrilly, instantly blooming two flowers of death within the beast tide below.

"Sisters, time to work!"

Tang Ran roared, her [Blood Rage] state fully active.

Gripping a cable with one hand, she leaped directly from the deck dozens of meters high.

"These iron lumps are just right for me to grind my fists!"

The moment she landed, she slammed both fists into the ground, and the powerful shockwave instantly shattered the mechanical leopards within a ten-meter radius into spare parts.

"Wind Blade — Hundred-Man Slash!"

An Nuonuo's crisp shout followed.

The Little loli was currently standing on the fortress's side-hull bracket, the energy ring on her right arm spinning to its limit.

She gave a casual wave!

Dozens of translucent high-pressure wind blades swept out like a fan!

Before these wind blades, those mechanical beasts were as fragile as paper.

The sound of squelching and tearing was incessant.

Large patches of green slime and lubricant sprayed across the black earth.

"Keke, it's up to you!"

Xia Lai shouted over the channel.

"Understood! The Brave One's curtain call — Shield of Holy Light!"

Lin Keke performed a graceful spin on the spot, and a layer of sacred white-gold armor quickly covered her body.

[Cosplay Role: Guardian Knight · Atheria]!

A massive hemispherical light-blue barrier quickly enveloped the entire No. 0819.

Bang bang bang!

Countless lasers and bullets slammed into the barrier, stirring up ripples.

"Hahaha! These guys' attack power is only so-so~"

Lin Keke patted her chest with a relaxed expression.

At this time.

The female crew members responsible for logistics were not idle either.

Xia Xin led them in small groups, operating the close-in weapon stations to frantically harvest the stragglers that had rushed onto the fortress's giant legs.

This was simply a one-sided firepower suppression.

The survival game had been played into tower defense!

"Seeking death!"

Seeing this, the silver-armored man in the air was clearly infuriated by the tenacity of these ants.

The eight laser swords floating behind him all pointed at Chen Du on top of the island.

"Sentence — Fall!"

Eight deep-blue laser beams converged into a massive pillar of light, striking straight down!

Chen Du stood his ground and flicked his cigarette ash.

Buzz!

An incredibly terrifying divine pressure erupted from him.

The shadow behind him suddenly burst apart, transforming into a pair of pitch-black wings with a span of over ten meters.

With a flap of the wings!

Chen Du soared into the sky, meeting the laser pillar head-on!

"Judgment!"

Blinding white light coiled around the bone gold cleaver.

That laser pillar, capable of melting through armor, was actually split down the middle by Chen Du's blade!

"What?!"

The silver-armored man's pupils shrank, and he instinctively tried to pull up for altitude.

"Get... down there!"

Chen Du's voice echoed faintly in his ear.

A massive shadow hand reached out from the void, firmly clutching the man's neck.

And then!

Chen Du took this so-called divine general and slammed him violently into the ruins on the ground.

Soil flew everywhere, and the airwave sent all the surrounding mechanical beasts flying.

Chen Du's foot was planted on the man's chest.

The other's silver heavy armor had shattered inch by inch, revealing nauseating flesh inside.

"Heh, only this much strength?"

Chen Du's tone was contemptuous as he casually flicked the man's silver metal mask away with his blade.

The mask fell.

Revealing an elderly face with half of it already rotted and withered.

Those cloudy eyeballs were filled with madness and resentment.

However.

What truly made Chen Du's gaze freeze was the string of tattoos on this person's forehead.

[Player No.: 0017]

An unprecedented sense of absurdity surged into Chen Du's heart.

"You're... a player?"

The tip of the blade in Chen Du's hand pressed against the other's throat, and a golden light flared in his pupils!

"Hehe... cough cough..."

The man designated 0017 felt a dull pain in his brain and coughed violently, spitting out a mouthful of thick green liquid.

"My head is much clearer... Player? That word... really brings back memories."

"Kid... do you think... you're saving the world?"

"We old fossils were just like you back then, rushing out of the sea full of hope..."

"What happened?" Chen Du asked.

The man let out an incredibly desolate and miserable laugh.

"But... before the rules, there is only obedience or death."

"This is the truth of the survival cycle... no one can... escape..."

This overbearing mechanical divine general was truly not an NPC!

They were all survivors of previous survival games, slaves who had sold their souls to the god of machinery?!

"Since you're an old fossil, then I should send you on your way even more."

The blankness in Chen Du's eyes flashed for only an instant before being replaced by ruthlessness.

"Don't be lost; becoming my nourishment is your true value!"

sacrifice notebook!

Black light instantly swallowed the struggling No. 0017.

[Ding! Sacrifice successful!]

[Obtained: Godhead Fragment x1, life essence x10!]

[Fragmented Intel Deciphered: The Eye of the Abyss has never left... It is always watching you.]

Chen Du hadn't even had time to digest this information.

"Chen Du! Watch your back!!!"

Xia Mo's shout almost pierced his eardrums.

Chen Du whipped his head around.

In the distance.

On the horizon where the black forest met the ocean.

That wisp of blood-colored mist that should have sunk into the seabed suddenly began to churn.

A blood-red vertical eye, large enough to obscure nearly half the sky, opened in the void without warning!

That gaze...

Was filled with playfulness, mockery, and the coldness of looking at a plaything.

The surrounding air began to tremble violently, and countless distorted runes appeared in the sky.

Immediately following.

Grand, chaotic whispers exploded in everyone's minds.

"You... cannot escape..."

"Welcome to... the Gods' Playground..."

The crew members, who had previously gained an overwhelming advantage, now clutched their heads in pain one after another.

An Nuonuo's small face turned pale, and she collapsed onto the deck.

"Again? Is this thing like a persistent leech?!"

Tang Ran punched the skull of a nearby mechanical beast, roaring in exasperation.

Chen Du stared fixedly at that massive vertical eye.

He felt an invisible force surrounding him from all directions.

The space around Fortress No. 0819 was shattering inch by inch!

"Second Sister! Start the engines! We're heading for the depths of the continent!"

Chen Du roared into the channel while flying toward the deck through the shadows.

However.

A pitch-black light suddenly shot out from the vertical eye on the horizon.

Wherever the light passed, even time seemed to fall into a standstill.

Chen Du landed back on the island and pulled the pale-faced Xia Mo into his arms.

He watched the forest ahead being gradually swallowed by the black light, an insane grin actually curling his lips.

"You want to play, right?"

"Then let's see who the final winner is!"
