Peng Ran Xin Dong

Chapter 400 First Steps Below Ground

Dozens of mechs were flying in from behind a small hill.

Those mechs were as small as toy models. As soon as they appeared, they launched hundreds of micro-missiles at the three of them.

Because the missiles were so tiny, like ants, Gu Ya didn't even bother to dodge.

But when the missiles hit his body, it felt like a firecracker exploding in his palm, and the pain was so real and intense.

For a moment, hundreds of "firecrackers" exploded around him, deafening his ears and making his head swim.

Suddenly, a "Xiongao" mech, half his height, swooped down from the sky. Its beam sword suddenly unfurled, slashing towards Gu Ya's head.

As quick as lightning, Gu Ya ducked and dragged, his hands transforming into exoskeleton armor, pressing the mech heavily onto the ground.

Dozens of micro-mechs behind him unleashed white beam cannons, tearing through Gu Ya's thermal suit and exposing his flesh to the air.

Immediately after, Gu Ya felt a powerful, irreversible compression force enveloping him, rapidly shrinking his body.

His hands became smaller at a visible rate.

The mech he was pressing down on was rapidly growing larger!

In just a few seconds, Gu Ya had shrunk by more than ten times. When he emerged from his thermal suit, the mech in front of him had become a towering, majestic weapon.

Around him, Mu Ye Xingchen and Shu Feizhang were also shrunk, emerging naked from their massive thermal suits.

"&*%&……%&&*%!" A string of obscure, strange sounds emanated from the flying mechs. Judging by the tone, their intentions were definitely malicious!

Gu Ya grimaced, clenched his fists, and roared, "Thunderstorm Starfall!!!"

The world before him was suddenly plunged into darkness, followed by the familiar blue light band. Mount Everest suddenly appeared before him!!

Gu Ya tilted his head back until he saw the very top, only then did he realize it was the backrest of the cockpit.

He had shrunk, but Thunderstorm Starfall had not.

Now, Gu Ya couldn't even control the mech, let alone jump the vast gap between the joystick and the cockpit seat!

"Damn it..." Gu Ya cursed hatefully and retracted Thunderstorm Starfall.

Immense air resistance appeared instantly. He fell from a "kilometer high" and quickly summoned his exoskeleton armor.

But Gu Ya's vision went dark again, and he fell heavily into a circular alloy chamber.

On the massive orange display screen before him, a very familiar parameter list appeared.

He had landed inside the helmet of his exoskeleton armor!

His height was now only a few centimeters on the original scale, like a keychain pendant.

With a few "clangs," the exoskeleton armor, now just an empty shell, crashed heavily onto the ground. Only then did Gu Ya get a chance to breathe.

He retracted the exoskeleton, and when he climbed to his feet again, dozens of mechs had already surrounded him.

Without bothering to find his teammates, Gu Ya turned and ran.

He summoned a spring button in front of him, jumped onto it forcefully, and then sprang off, charging towards a mech.

A large blue towel instantly covered the mech, providing Gu Ya with cushioning.

The moment he touched the mech, [Code Tampering] was activated.

Lines of code he couldn't understand appeared on the screen, leaving Gu Ya dumbfounded.

"Hei Yang!!"

"Yes, Master! The subterranean text translation table is ready for you!"

As soon as the voice fell, a massive metal plate suddenly crushed the mech, smashing both the mech and its pilot to the ground.

The mechs behind them rushed forward at full speed.

Gu Ya scanned the surroundings with his eagle eyes, waved his small hands!

Mineral water bottles, glass cups, kettles, door handles, and a pile of miscellaneous worthless items suddenly rained down from the sky, like a torrential garbage storm, smashing the entire mech army.

A series of "clangs and bangs" echoed from the ground.

The last mech tried to get up and fight again, but was suddenly struck by a heavy solid iron ball, completely losing power.

Two hours later,

Gu Ya sat dejectedly on the wreckage of a mech, looking around.

He had completed the deciphering of the subterranean text and could now usurp control of these micro-mechs.

But the bad news was that all three teammates were missing.

Piloting a subterranean mech, he searched the massive crater left by Thunderstorm Starfall for a long time but found no clues.

As a last resort, Gu Ya returned to the "battlefield" and found the subterranean dweller he had beaten half to death.

Due to the language barrier, Gu Ya gestured with his hands for a long time, but the subterranean dweller did not understand what he meant.

Finally, Gu Ya was forced to consult the language translation table and write out his words one by one: "Where are my three teammates?"

Due to grammatical or contextual differences, the subterranean dweller looked for a long time before understanding Gu Ya's meaning, then tremblingly wrote a sentence.

After Gu Ya tried to translate it, he frowned and scratched his head: "The camp was taken to them?"

"They were taken to the camp, yes. Subject-verb-object order."

Gu Ya wrote again: "How to go to the camp?"

The subterranean dweller scratched his head and grasped his scalp for half a minute, then wrote: "42° southwest, 300 kilometers."

As soon as Gu Ya understood this sentence, he summoned the iron ball and killed the subterranean dweller.

"Damn it, I can't even speak properly since coming here."

Gu Ya looked at his small hands.

The proportions seemed unchanged, but subconsciously, these hands had become very small, and the feeling was extremely awkward.

Moreover, the things he summoned were based on the external scale; a bottle of mineral water was as big as a mech.

If he summoned a rag, it could cover a subterranean mech.

Looking at the distant mountains again, they now appeared extremely tall.

The small streams that converged into one had also become large rivers.

After spending so long in the steel jungle of Xianxia, it was a bit unaccustomed to suddenly find himself in this world of lush green grass.

"Damn it, where did the sun and grass come from underground?"

"Master." Hei Yang's voice came from behind him.

Gu Ya turned around and almost fell over in fright. Hei Yang, the plush toy that usually sat on his shoulder, had also become as tall as those subterranean mechs.

"Master." Hei Yang pinched Gu Ya's collar with her small hand and placed him on her shoulder, smiling sweetly, and said, "Can you understand how I feel now?"

Gu Ya grinned sinisterly, stroked Hei Yang's soft skin, and said wickedly, "Of course, pinching you is like pinching an ant to death."

Hei Yang suddenly stiffened, rapidly shrinking to a few micrometers, and obediently sat on Gu Ya's shoulder.

"Master, you're cheating!"

"Enough nonsense, let's get to work!"

...

Two subterranean mechs flew back to the camp from a distance.

Inside the camp, everything was orderly. Numerous mechs were parked on the flight deck, and mechanics and mech pilots were diligently inspecting them.

A handsome young man and a pretty young girl returned to the camp in their mechs, and everyone's eyes turned to them.

"Stay calm, did you hear me? Don't speak without permission!" Gu Ya gritted out.

Hei Yang nodded obediently and whispered, "Master, their male hormones are rapidly increasing, you should be careful!"

Gu Ya kicked Hei Yang to the side, drawing a torrent of condemnation from the subterranean dwellers.

"Hey! You scoundrel, be a gentleman towards women!"

"How can you bully such a beautiful young girl! What kind of man are you!"

Gu Ya suppressed his helplessness and anger. These subterranean dwellers' sentence structure was chaotic, making him feel uncomfortable.

"Make me a translator, quickly!" Gu Ya hissed.

Before the two could enter the camp building, Hei Yang slipped the finished translator into Gu Ya's ear.

"Master, what should we do?" Hei Yang asked.

Gu Ya grinned wickedly and said mischievously, "Of course, rely on you!"

"Rely on me?" Hei Yang tilted her head in confusion.

Ten minutes later, almost all the male inhabitants, both outside the camp hangars and inside, were gathered in the conference hall.

Hei Yang, transformed into a beautiful woman, danced enthusiastically on the stage. With her seductive movements, she drew cheers from hundreds of subterranean dwellers below, who all fell at her feet.

Just as everyone was watching with great interest, a heavy iron disc, almost as large as the conference hall, suddenly appeared on the ceiling!

Everyone's faces contorted in shock. Before they could escape, they were crushed into pulp by the iron disc.

Rivers of blood flowed out from the doorway.

Gu Ya stepped aside to avoid the blood rivers, recalled Hei Yang, and whistling, went to the underground prison to rescue his three teammates who were held there.

The four-person squad regrouped and arrived at the empty, deserted hangar.

Shu Feizhang asked, "Where are the people here? Why has it become a ghost camp?"

Gu Ya shrugged and curled his lips, saying with hidden merit, "Never mind that. I've made a few subterranean language translators, everyone wear them. The operation procedures for subterranean mechs are similar to the original mechs. You're all experts, so you should get familiar with them quickly."

Mu Ye Xingchen inserted the translator into his ear and asked calmly, "What next?"

Gu Ya said steadily, "Find their main city, then..."

Suddenly, a loud steam whistle sounded from outside the hangar.

"Clang! Clang!" Two footsteps!

A slender, humanoid silhouette appeared at the hangar entrance, backlit by the sun.

Without a word, the shadow shot forward with flames erupting from its back.

As it flew, something began to appear out of thin air around its body, gradually filling, completing, and strengthening its limbs and torso. /

By the time the figure rushed in front of Gu Ya, it had transformed into a giant mech!

A metal fist, carrying a gale, swung towards Gu Ya!

As if in slow motion, Shen Jingming's dark domain suddenly appeared, engulfing the fist and neutralizing the threat.

When the dark domain disappeared again, the opponent mech's fist had been cleanly severed, leaving only a half-finished mechanical arm.

But in the next second, the severed mechanical arm rapidly reformed and stabilized, standing steadily before them.

Just as Gu Ya was about to unleash his killing intent,

A clear, crisp female voice rang out: "Donsa Sin person?"

Immediately after, the mech parts encasing the pilot began to gradually separate and disappear.

A graceful woman in a pink pilot suit descended like a happy fairy, lightly swinging her arms and stepping with cheerful, nimble steps off the mech.

As she walked past each mech part, the parts would gradually fade and disappear.

By the time the woman reached them, the mech behind her had completely vanished.

"Little brother from Donsa Sin!" The woman smiled sweetly at Shen Jingming, "Marry me!"
