Chapter 753: The Sage's Call
"Let us out! You vile iron demons!"
Just as Mo Changqing began to be infected by the virus, in a secret mechanical prison room in the fourth ring of the Doomsday Fortress, angry and tired roars were constantly coming out of the biological cages.
This prison cell was not located in the main body of the Fourth Ring, but was placed in the high-level base of a major battle group like a floating space station.
The several mechanical leaders were like tourists visiting a zoo. They gathered together and looked at the two "special lives" imprisoned in the cell in front of them as if they were looking at monkeys.
"What a strange life form."
A stream of inquiring data flashed through the electronic eyes of a mechanical leader connected by tracks. It said to a small leader next to it through the exchange of information flows:
"It's hard to imagine how such a powerful destructive force could be born from the weak bodies of these flesh and blood creatures. If we didn't have rich experience in fighting flesh and blood creatures, it would be difficult for us to imprison them.
Tell me more about how your warband captured them both."
"Well, this story has been going viral in the Fourth Ring these past few days."
The character of the small mechanical leader seemed to be quite active. It told the story to its colleagues in an enthusiastic and patient tone.
"Ten days ago, my regiment detected a sudden spatial distortion seven astronomical units away from the Doomsday Fortress. I suspect that a new Wasteland Lord vanguard has been summoned here.
In anticipation of a possible large-scale war, I sent out my best mechanical hunters on a gunboat to investigate.
As a result, there, my warriors witnessed something miraculous.
These two flesh and blood creatures somehow entered the starry sky nest of the Wilderness Lord Vanguard. They were fighting against six Wilderness Lord Vanguards at the time.
These two little guys are very brave.
They used quasi-magic powers that were incompatible with us and fought hard with the Wasteland Lord's vanguard. By the time my warriors arrived at the battlefield, the two sides were already in a fierce battle.
They even seriously injured an assault-type Wild Lord vanguard, but they found it difficult to find energy to replenish themselves among the dark stars, so they soon fell into a slump.
My soldiers reported this to me, and I went there myself."
The small mechanical leader laughed heartily at the data level, simulating a proud emotion, and said to his colleagues:
"With the help of the chaos caused by these two little guys, my regiment and I launched a clean and destructive raid on the lair of the Wasteland Lord's vanguard.
Not only did he completely destroy the nest that posed a threat to the Doomsday Fortress, but he also killed all six of the Wasteland Lord vanguards there.
This is a glorious victory.
But the honor of killing at least two of the Great Desolate Lords should be attributed to these two little guys. If they hadn't appeared unexpectedly, it would have been difficult for us to find such a good opportunity.
So, while they were seriously injured, I captured them and brought them back to the Fortress of Doom.
Don't worry.
They have gone through a strict cleansing process to ensure that they do not carry the aura and power of the Lord of the Wasteland, and will not pose a threat to the safety of the Doomsday Fortress. "
At this point, the small mechanical leader was a little embarrassed, and said;
"But it's difficult for our robot doctors to treat them... You know, they don't have circuit boards, mechanical modules, or programs.
Our best doctors can't open their bodies with a screwdriver.
Even the best maintenance oil can't soothe their pain.
They were already seriously injured at the time, and had certain signs of demonic infection."
"Well, is this the reason why you gave your flesh-and-blood 'pet' a mechanized transformation?"
The tracked mechanical leader nodded.
It twisted its electronic eyes and glanced into the biological confinement device in front of it.
In that empty circular metal space, two strange-looking flesh and blood creatures were shouting in the high magnetic field restraint ring. Yao Shu Yao Xianzun and Zi Yan Zhenren, two great masters of the sea of suffering, from the Bitter Wood Realm, had changed their appearance greatly.
Yao Shuxianzun's left hand and legs were replaced with silver-shining machines. The rest of his body still maintained its flesh and blood shape, but the bones in his body had been replaced with high-strength alpha alloy.
He seemed to be unable to adapt to the new form. The mechanical modules on his left hand and legs kept changing their appearance, sometimes turning into a sword and sometimes into two hammers.
He is very angry.
Not only was it because he was shamefully sent into the sea of stars by a junior and had a fierce battle with the terrifying Great Demon Lord of the Wasteland, but he was also shamefully defeated and ended up being captured as a trophy by this group of damned extraterritorial iron demons.
What was even more humiliating was that he had originally thought that he would die miserably from his injuries, leaving behind only his soul as a wandering ghost in the boundless darkness of the stars.
But I didn't expect that those iron demons had no martial ethics!
They didn't even give him the chance to die in battle. They saved themselves in their own way, but the price was that they transformed themselves from a pure human being into the ugly monster they are now!
In fact, Immortal Venerable Yao Shu is considered good.
At least he retained the face of a human monk.
The Immortal Zi Yan next to him was in an even worse situation. This Immortal, who was not very good at direct combat but was better at refining pills, had suffered more serious injuries in the previous battle.
In order to save him, the mechanical lifeforms had to remove 70% of his organs.
The result was that Master Zi Yan's face was split into two halves, half flesh and blood, and half mechanical. When he raised his head, the electronic eye on his left cheek emitted a faint light, which looked very creepy.
The mechanical lifeforms were saved by these two guys because of their heroic battle with the Great Demon Lord of the Wasteland, but they did not understand the source of the monks' power.
Their seemingly safe transformation actually destroyed the cultivation foundation of the two immortals.
Although the Dao Spirit was still there, their Dharma bodies were destroyed, causing the two Immortal Lords to lose their powerful strength as the Sea of Bitterness. Although they could still use some magical powers, they had completely become second-rate losers.
So this was a failed transformation, turning them into the "flesh and blood pets" of the small mechanical leader.
But how to say it.
At least the two immortals retained their lives.
When Lao Jiang threw them into the lair of the great demon Lord of the Wasteland, he did not intend to let these two hateful surrenderers survive.
Outside the biological prison cell, the two mechanical leaders were still discussing how to further transform these two "brave" little flesh and blood guys to enhance their power.
It would be best to transform their entire bodies into mechanical ones so that they can join the glorious and great doomsday expedition.
In the eyes of the mechanical life forms in the Alpha world, this mechanization transformation is a supreme honor! In fact, in the major battle groups, there are also many high-level mechanical warriors who have become mechanical life forms through such transformation.
In those foreign plundering wars, the mechanical regiments would occasionally select some warriors of other races and transform them. Although such things were rare, they were not without precedent.
Just as the two leaders were discussing which type of mind chip would be more suitable for the two little guys' incredibly powerful minds, a loud alarm suddenly sounded in the war network.
The alert came directly from the Leader, who is this month's rotating speaker of parliament.
It conveyed a crisis message to all mechanical leaders that a terrible mechanical virus infection was occurring in the thirteenth ring of the Doomsday Fortress.
In just a few minutes, the virus had infected one-tenth of the mechanical life in the Thirteen Rings, and the simple thinking logic of the infected people began to undergo large-scale, unified and rapid iteration.
It's like some kind of "program upgrade".
Several special response teams have been mobilized to the infected areas of the Thirteenth Ring, and all leaders have been summoned to carry out the "big cleanup" procedure of the Thirteenth Ring.
This program, which sounds harmless, actually has a terrible meaning in the Alpha world.
This means that all low-level mechanical life in the entire Thirteenth Ring must be "remelted" to prevent the mechanical virus from infecting the elite warriors in higher rings.
The two leaders immediately abandoned their flesh and blood pets and rushed to the third ring.
At this time, the leaders' council was in chaos.
This is a rare chaotic posture of mechanical life forms, mainly because of their form, which makes them extremely sensitive to things like mechanical virus infection.
Since the construction of the Doomsday Fortress, there has never been such a large-scale infection of the Wilderness Lord Virus among these mechanical life systems with extremely abundant martial virtues.
This is a terrible sign.
It could mean that there is a terrible loophole in the data firewall of the Doomsday Fortress that the leaders have not yet noticed. For a world made up entirely of machines, this is a very fatal problem.
"The cleanup procedure must be carried out immediately! We can't wait any longer. The virus is spreading in the war network. Although we have carried out graded blocking, this mechanical virus is very fierce.
It is a highly intelligent virus that we have never seen before, and I suspect it has developed its own data awareness.
Perhaps, this is a new type of great demon of the wilderness!
It is a mechanical destroyer designed and evolved by the Lord of the Wasteland specifically to deal with our threat!"
"Don't panic!
The war network was built by the Mechanical Sage himself, and virus filtering was considered when it was first designed. If we carry out a large cleanup program without knowing the situation, there will be a gap in our world's new recruits.
This will greatly affect the combat effectiveness of the Doomsday Fortress."
"This must be the pollution caused by the two flesh and blood creatures that idiot Z-18 brought back secretly. There shouldn't be any flesh and blood creatures in the Doomsday Fortress!
Their existence is a terrible threat to the Doomsday Expedition. Weak flesh and blood are not qualified to enter the sacred Temple of War!
The weak must be eliminated immediately!"
"Weak? Has your mind core been infected by a virus? Those two flesh-and-blood creatures can easily pull your central processing unit out of your core furnace!"
The entire Leaders' Council was in chaos, and the rotating Speaker shouted several times but was unable to calm down this group of excited leaders.
However, soon, just as they were preparing to vote to implement the major cleansing procedure, a highly authorized data consciousness suddenly descended. The moment it arrived, the entire Leadership Council fell silent.
It was like a seal at the data level, forcing all leaders' consciousness into a calm state.
"The Sage has descended from the Second Ring. What an honor."
A mechanical leader shouted enthusiastically, and the other leaders immediately began to chant the name of the mechanical sage loudly. But the data consciousness that descended here did not express anything more.
It simply conveyed an order to all the mechanical leaders in a very indifferent manner, and then disappeared quietly just as it appeared.
"The Sage wants to summon a mechanical being named 'Nia'? Who is that?"
"The leader of the War Hounds, a rising star with great potential. It is said in the Outer Ring that she is the last genius in the past hundred years who may be promoted to the leader of the machinery.
He is currently serving as a vassal under the Z-18 Tramplers and is one of the commanders of the newest plundering team. He has already won many victories in the plundering of the world codenamed Bitterwood.
Judging from the centurion's level, her record is outstanding. If she continues to win, she may soon become a glorious general."
"But why did the Sage summon her?"
"No one knows. No one can guess what the Sage is thinking, or is it related to the Mechanic Realm?"
"Execute the order. Summon Nia to the second ring and physically isolate the thirteenth ring. The sage said that he will deal with the mechanical virus himself."
"The sage will handle it personally? That's definitely no problem. Everyone, go away and do your own things."
