“Brother, you’re going to Xianxia City?” Gu Youran asked timidly.
Ever since she got into the mecha, she had been trembling slightly, sitting obediently beside the pilot’s seat, not daring to breathe.
Gu Ya couldn’t help but wonder how she had managed to live in Zhuoyuan Mecha City for five years.
“Yes, some friends are waiting for me to save them,” Gu Ya said indifferently, simultaneously issuing instructions to the transport mechas behind him to head for Xianxia City.
Gu Youran panted slightly. Although a little scared, she was also very excited, saying, “Brother, you’re so amazing!”
Gu Ya’s mouth crooked, revealing a smug smile, and he said, “Of course! Your brother here is even more amazing than you can imagine!”
Youyin’s aura erupted, charging fiercely towards Xianxia.
…
It had already been five days since they departed from Caihua City, which was Wednesday.
Gu Ya and his entourage arrived at Xianxia City around noon.
This was Gu Ya’s second time here.
Having seen the magnificent Caihua City and the incredible Zhuoyuan City,
He now truly grasped the imposing grandeur of Xianxia City’s towering skyscraper clusters.
They were in no way inferior to Caihua and Zhuoyuan.
This was what Xianxia’s premier city should look like.
“Why didn’t I feel this way the first time?” Gu Ya asked himself with a smile.
“Wow, Xianxia City is so grand!”
“Yes,” Gu Ya replied indifferently.
Youyin surged forward, wasting no more time, and charged into the city.
The transport mecha team was arranged outside the city. Since Gu Ya would be coming out soon, there was no need for them to enter.
He found the hotel where Zeng Lang and Liu Feng were staying, and good heavens, it shocked him.
Was this a hotel! This was paradise on earth!
Having money truly made things enjoyable!
Wei Ping and Jiang Tingyue accompanied Zeng Lang, the three of them walking out of the hotel entrance, chatting and laughing,
drawing envious glances from onlookers.
They were all handsome men and beautiful women, capable of attracting attention wherever they went.
Liu Feng followed alone, looking lonely and a bit resentful, clearly having endured some hardship.
Gu Ya grinned and went to meet them.
“Gu Ya!!!” Zeng Lang shouted excitedly from a distance. “Brother, you’re finally here.”
“Gu Ya—!” Liu Feng rushed over and hugged Gu Ya. “Brother, you’ve finally come to save me!”
“Zeng Lang’s been living it up every night! Leaving me to face an empty room! It’s been so tough!”
Upon hearing this, Madam Wei and Madam Jiang instantly blushed, their eyes wishing they could kill Liu Feng.
Zeng Lang said darkly, “It seems I must accelerate the research progress on the mute drug!”
Liu Feng completely ignored them and his eyes fixed on Gu Youran.
Gu Youran had been hiding behind Gu Ya, clutching his clothes, and looking at them timidly.
“Ahem!” Liu Feng immediately perked up.
His expression was unspeakably smug, as if he had found Gu Ya’s weakness. He raised an eyebrow and said, “Brother, hehe! I’m not one to judge, but do you really consider yourself a gentleman!”
“You go out alone and you bring back a girl. She looks underage!”
“Tsk tsk, I never expected this~ You’re breaking the law!!!”
Zeng Lang and the others were also surprised. Gu Ya had gone to Zhuoyuan City alone for a few days and had actually brought back a girl!
Gu Ya smiled, pulled Gu Youran forward, and introduced her generously, “To be honest, the process was a bit convoluted. We’ll chat about it in detail later.”
“But she really is my biological sister! Her name is Gu Youran!”
Liu Feng became even more agitated, his expression contorted, twisting his body incessantly, and shouting, “Incest! It’s disgusting! I can’t believe you’re that kind of person!!”
Zeng Lang’s eyes widened. He thought to himself that Gu Ya’s skill in picking up girls was even greater than his own! He had recognized a sister in just two days! No, could Gu Ya have been tricked!!
Wei Ping and Jiang Tingyue also looked at Gu Ya with a new perspective.
“Hey!” Gu Ya loudly stopped everyone’s astonishment, his face darkening, and said seriously, “I met my father in Zhuoyuan City. Gu Youran is an infant conceived and nurtured in a cultivation pod by my parents.”
“With this explanation, everyone should be convinced, right!”
Liu Feng nodded very seriously, patted Gu Ya on the shoulder, and said, “Whatever you say goes! We didn’t see it anyway.”
Gu Ya cursed playfully and said loudly, “Zeng Lang! I am now speaking as the spokesperson for Gu Lang Group, and I demand that you expedite the research on the mute drug! The first clinical trial subject will be Liu Feng!”
Zeng Lang chuckled and said, “This time, I’m on Liu Feng’s side, hehehe!”
“I can’t be friends with you guys anymore! I’m going home!” Gu Ya grabbed Gu Youran’s hand and turned to leave indignantly.
Gu Youran, not understanding what they were talking about, kept looking back at everyone and smiling and nodding in greeting.
“He’s furious! That means there’s something wrong! Haha!” Liu Feng joyfully ran towards Gu Ya.
Zeng Lang and the others also chased after them with smiles.
…
Gu Ya led Liu Feng, Zeng Lang, Wei Ping, and Jiang Tingyue, along with the four mechas, to rendezvous with the six mechas waiting outside the city.
They formed a small-scale mecha company,
and set off majestically towards Wuhe City.
It was noon, and the scorching sun baked the earth, making it unbearably hot.
Gu Ya glanced back at Xianxia City,
and suddenly remembered something. He called out to everyone to stop.
He piloted Youyin and slowly descended onto the parched, yellow Gobi desert.
Under the fierce sun,
Gu Ya exited the cockpit,
took off his shoes, and stood barefoot on the Gobi.
At that moment, the scorching sun baked his body.
When Gu Ya looked up at Xianxia City again,
a sense of foreboding resurfaced in his heart.
So,
those visions were real.
Gu Ya stared blankly ahead, shouting in his heart.
The last time he came to Xianxia City, it was already evening when he left. The sunset wasn’t as intense,
but this time,
he truly saw and felt the scenes he had experienced in the perception testing machine.
Zeng Lang also exited his mecha, enduring the scorching sun, and asked confusedly, “What is Gu Ya looking at?”
Wei Ping beside him said softly, “The last time he and I came to Xianxia City, he was also standing here, gazing at the city dazedly.”
Liu Feng slowly walked forward, stood beside Gu Ya, and looked on curiously, asking, “Gu Ya, what’s wrong with you?”
Gu Ya slowly said, “Do you remember when you tested our perception and asked me what I saw?”
Liu Feng thought for a long time and said, “You said you saw the doomsday of a certain city.”
Gu Ya slowly raised his hand and pointed towards Xianxia City, saying, “The doomsday of Xianxia City.”
“Countless mecha armies swarmed into the city, wreaking havoc and causing widespread destruction.”
Liu Feng chuckled incredulously and said, “How is that possible? The Xianxia Ding war zone where Xianxia City is located has the most powerful mecha defenders.”
“Unless the enemy wants to die, they wouldn’t choose to attack here.”
Gu Ya said indifferently, “I hope it was just an illusion that can never be realized. Let’s go.”
…
By evening, Gu Ya and the others finally found the mountains where the bandit organization was located.
After hiding the supply mechas,
Gu Ya led Zeng Lang and Liu Feng towards the bandit camp.
A few kilometers outside the camp, Gu Ya first deployed micro-drones.
This camp was even more powerful than any Gu Ya had encountered before.
Not only were there hundreds of mechas, but the bandits also wore identical uniforms,
acting as if they were a regular army!
But the ground in the camp was covered with black bloodstains.
Several large pots were simmering with broth,
containing mixed human bones and animal carcasses.
Some bandits, having sated their lust, were casually throwing women who had lost all will to live into cages.
Human heads were hung everywhere on the camp’s walls, some of them highly decomposed.
The entire camp exuded a nauseatingly evil atmosphere,
incensing Gu Ya.
In the bright and beautiful land of Xianxia, there existed such a group of man-eating devils!
“Gu Ya, what’s the plan?” Zeng Lang asked coldly.
Liu Feng was also eager, shouting, “A war for justice, a war for revenge, to rid Xianxia of evil!”
Gu Ya said coldly, “Destroy all the mechas, and as for the people, make them regret ever walking this path of no return!”
“Gu Ya, should we hand over their leader to the authorities?” Zeng Lang asked calmly.
Gu Ya said coldly, “No need. In this lawless land, the best way to deal with demons is immediate execution!”
“With pleasure!” Liu Feng shouted with a smile!
Zeng Lang no longer hesitated and said resolutely, “Ready to attack at any time!”
“Go!”
The three mechas descended into the enemy camp like three divine beings.
Zeng Lang and Liu Feng didn’t even have a chance to destroy the mechas.
Gu Ya directly activated [Overclocked Driving] + [Blue Electric Wind].
Youyin dragged several thick, bright blue lightning bolts across the mecha parking area.
The bandit mechas exploded like firecrackers from left to right, causing a deafening roar and towering flames!
All the bandits were caught off guard, not understanding what was happening.
They just stared blankly as
one camp, one group of people, shared the same "dream."
Liu Feng’s mecha flew into the crowd, unleashing a fierce barrage on the bandits.
Zeng Lang’s mecha flew into the air, spewing fireworks-like flames from his hands.
Gu Ya retracted Youyin, donned his black exoskeleton armor, and slowly emerged from the raging inferno.
Facing the charging bandits, he was fearless.
A flash of crimson appeared,
instantly killing ten men.
“Brother, that’s not fair! You’re having a blast in your exoskeleton while we’re stuck in our mechas! This isn’t fun!!!”
Liu Feng shouted, opening his mecha’s cockpit armor and jumping out.
“Liu Feng! Are you crazy! You don’t have an exoskeleton!” Zeng Lang quickly tried to stop him.
Liu Feng landed steadily on the ground and slowly stood up, surrounded by dozens of bandits.
“Hahaha!” Liu Feng was completely unafraid, laughing instead, exuding inexhaustible strength. He threw a punch and engaged in close combat with the bandits, appearing every bit the reckless brawler.
Gu Ya flew over in time and equipped him with his exoskeleton.
“Zeng Lang!” Gu Ya shouted.
Zeng Lang smiled slightly, opened his mecha’s cockpit, and leaped down.
Gu Ya flew over in time, and the exoskeleton instantly attached to him.
The three of them, back to back, faced the remaining bandits, harvesting them as easily as mowing down chickens.
In an instant, screams echoed throughout the camp.
This was the end of demons,
the prelude to light!
Purifying evil with fire!
Letting the cannibals taste the flavor of being slaughtered.
An hour later, the camp was in disarray. All hundred bandits lay on the ground, a river of blood flowing.
“Some bandits escaped, but it’s okay, they can’t escape the mecha’s thermal imaging radar,” Gu Ya said.
Zeng Lang and Liu Feng ran to their mechas to pursue the fleeing culprits.
Gu Ya remained alone to clean up the mess and look for survivors.
The women in the cages were on the verge of death, their eyes vacant, lying motionless.
Gu Ya lowered his head, took out a potent medicine from the system store, and was about to force it into her mouth,
when the woman’s head tilted slightly, and she breathed her last.
The other women in the cages were all dead, having met the same fate.
The bandit barracks were even more unimaginably evil.
Overwhelmed with rage, Gu Ya summoned Youyin and leveled the entire camp.
The raging flames would ultimately burn away the darkness,
and the dawn would surely arrive.
