sharp, the pipe walls within this base were exceptionally thick and very difficult to breach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a dull sound transmitted from the distance within the pipe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su Mo, did you hear that noise?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo stopped, listened for a moment, and then, hearing the deep sound getting closer, said sternly, “Yes, it’s heading our way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Chengxue immediately drew another silenced automatic pistol from her belt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo sped up his chopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dull sound drew closer and soon, pairs of crimson eyes appeared in the distance, and numerous tiny mechanical spiders rushed towards them at high speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Chengxue didn’t hesitate to fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang Bang~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each shot hit the mechanical spiders, instantly killing the ones at the forefront.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Su Mo quickened his movements, desperately chopping through the thick metal barrier until he managed to create an opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qian Chengxue, go up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You go first,” she replied calmly while continuing to shoot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Su Mo didn’t waste words and quickly climbed up through the opening, then shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Chengxue took a hand grenade from her belt and threw it at the mechanical spiders, quickly reaching out to grab Su Mo’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a strong pull from Su Mo, Qian Chengxue was up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thunderous noise!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thrown hand grenade exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing their surroundings, they saw the conduit overhead was covered by a low interlayer filled with complex circuitry everywhere!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We need to go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clutching Ink Frost, Su Mo pushed aside obstructing circuits and moved forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a strong premonition that danger was drawing near.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the central control system of Praying Dragon City, a message popped up in front of the artificial intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clearance failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rat has entered Praying Dragon City.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the artificial intelligence was mainly focused on the front battlefields; the displayed images showed two Fourth Generation mechas clashing on the surface of Praying Dragon City, wreaking havoc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The artificial intelligence was rapidly generating various combat data, transmitting it remotely to the puppet system,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>directing Weapons to crush the target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, all was not going smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, after failing the Rat clearing task, the artificial intelligence automatically generated the next level standard response plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deploy the Clearer killing machines…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And did not deploy stronger bioengineered beings to strangle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsewhere, Su Mo and Qian Chengxue ran through the interlayer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, just as they had not gotten far, Qian Chengxue looked back and saw swarms of mechanical spiders catching up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They are catching up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know,” Su Mo replied gravely, his head also aching now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Su Mo saw a light to the side and, without a second word, changed their escape direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their luck was truly good, for there was a ventilation outlet ahead, seemingly at the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo swung Ink Frost, slicing open the vent cover in two quick strikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get down!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Chengxue deftly jumped down, landing steadily on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced around and saw the room was filled with operating mechanical equipment, likely a machine room, and spotted no danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come down quickly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are no enemies here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Su Mo was about to jump down, a sharp metal tactile blade swept over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instinctively, he raised Ink Frost to block it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tremendous force sent him flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo, still unreactive from being launched, suddenly felt arms catch him, and he felt as if he had hit something soft, with a fragrance filling his senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming to his senses, Su Mo found himself in Qian Chengxue’s arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that critical moment, she had caught him, and both had crashed heavily to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo quickly scrambled up and apologized awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, there was a loud bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sharp metallic tactile blade furiously chopped at the ventilation shaft as the giant mechanical spider tried to forcibly squeeze through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, its size was too large and the exit too small, so it became stuck and couldn’t get out all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go, hurry out of here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Chengxue also got up, and spoke calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them quickly scanned their surroundings and soon spotted a steel door not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They ran toward the exit, flung open the engine room door, and rushed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dazzling light directly hit their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo and Qian Chengxue instinctively raised their hands to cover their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been in a dim environment for a long time, and it was somewhat uncomfortable to move into a bright area suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After about ten seconds, their eyes gradually adjusted, and they were completely shocked by what they saw next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them emerged into an underground hollow cast from steel, at the bottom of which lay a forgotten giant mechanical city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a glance, this forgotten city was populated by various steel buildings, at the center of which stood a grand domed structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eeriest scene was the brightness of various lighting fixtures throughout the city, making it seem like a living city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, they were standing on a high slope at the edge of the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on, how could there be a city underground beneath the Praying Dragon City?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this is a real city, then what is above?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not sure, but this city looks quite eerie!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud noise interrupted their thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo and Qian Chengxue turned to glance at the engine room door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant mechanical spider, too large to get out, began retracting forcefully to make way for the incoming smaller mechanical spiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo shivered and led the way sliding down a slope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Chengxue did not hesitate to follow closely behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them clumsily slid to the edge of the city and ran into it, entering an inner street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The streets here were no different from the streets of a real city, made of concrete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On both sides, a vast amount of green plants were growing lushly, without any sign of withering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, and the windows were plastered with various big discount posters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahead in the street, some people’s backs could be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A family of three, dressed in stylish clothes, hand in hand, the child in the center holding a floating balloon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire city gave a sense quite different from the external city; it was simply poles apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo and Qian Chengxue were both stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does anyone really live in this city?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They quickly hid beside a street seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems there are people ahead, should we get closer?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s a bit problematic, if there are indeed living people, they are most likely hostile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, we seem to be invaders right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s best not to let them spot us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo replied with a headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If there are living people, we need to contact them, try to resolve the misunderstanding.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Chengxue shook her head and replied calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re right, but it appears to me it won’t be that simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because if there were truly living people, they would have approached us by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s impossible for them to have stayed silent so far unless they are trapped here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo stated his hypothesis outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Unlikely, the possibility you mentioned is too low,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Chengxue immediately denied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s simple, the scene in front of us is too harmonious, which in itself seems rather eerie.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now that you mention it, I’ve noticed that too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How about I find a place to hide first, then grab someone to check?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo suggested directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, let’s do that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Chengxue didn’t have a better idea and could only agree with Su Mo’s suggestion.\u003C\u002Fp>",1304,"2026-06-09T07:18:15.017Z",1,"novelbin.me","72b4c89ea6a0eed41474ce37e5a48dfa3e0f96e1ed1ffb823f3ad51b0e3e77f0","destiny-mission-of-game-star-ring-chapter-349","destiny-mission-of-game-star-ring-chapter-347",1771,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdestiny-mission-of-game-star-ring-cover.jpg"]
