Chapter 378: Game Instance, Activated, Huh?

Boom, boom, boom! "How long has it been going on over there?"

The communication device was filled with countless gunshots and cannon blasts; through the executor's visual recording, Yun Mu looked at that smoke-filled battlefield.

Whoosh! The scarlet bone palm whipped up a gale, overturning a large swath of Flash Silver Tanks to the ground in the blink of an eye, and then it slammed down with force, instantly wrecking the overturned Flash Silver Tanks on the spot.

The Flash Silver Fighters and Armed Helicopters soaring in the sky could not escape the fate of being destroyed either; countless blood-red bone spurs instantly grew from the Beastkin God's bones and then blasted outward!

In the blink of an eye, the area within several hundred meters was cleared.

Everywhere were burning mechanical bodies and building wreckage; if not for the danger, Yun Mu would have already had the Mining Vehicle sneak over to shovel back two cartloads of scrap.

Think of how much resources and Research Points that would be!

Meanwhile, on the other side of the communication device.

Airui Laya did not know what Yun Mu was thinking; after hearing her question, she said, "It has been a stalemate for eight hours."

Yes, ever since the guys from the Beast God Cult summoned the right arm of the Beastkin God, eight hours had passed.

During these eight hours, the mechanical bodies of the Old Legion had launched wave after wave of offensives against the spine like a tide, yet no matter the intensity of the attacks, they could not leave even the slightest mark on that scarlet spine.

But this was not a futile effort.

Yun Mu noticed that whenever the Beastkin God's spine was attacked, the area being struck would glow faintly with a pale red light.

She guessed that it was precisely that light which completely blocked the attacks, which was why no injuries were left behind.

And as long as the attacks continued without pause, that pale red light would sooner or later be exhausted.

Of course, this was just her guess.

The reality of the situation did not actually matter; after all, they had their own plans, and from the very beginning, Yun Mu had never counted on the Old Legion being able to defeat the God Bone.

If anything, if the Old Legion really did defeat that spine, they would have a headache.

After all, according to Fen Yege's plan, only when the Beastkin God was fully resurrected could they bestow true death upon it.

Simply defeating a broken body did not have much meaning.

"Let them keep fighting."

No matter how intense the scene, watching it for several hours straight was tiring; Yun Mu yawned in boredom, then stood up and walked out of the combat command room.

The Shanyin Cruise Ship would be finished in a few more hours; rather than sitting in the command room watching the Old Legion and the Beastkin God's spine beat each other up, she might as well go see her precious warship.

"Awoo~"

Seeing Yun Mu stand up and leave, the Wolf, which had been resting on the command room floor, lazily stretched its body and then quickly followed behind her.

After the Wolf followed, Yun Mu suddenly thought of something and asked it curiously, "By the way, do those mechanical bodies of the Old Legion also possess the concept of death?"

"For example, that Mainframe of the Flash Silver series; according to Fen Yege, the intelligence level of that Mainframe is no different from a real person, but since mechanical bodies have no souls, can they be considered living beings?"

"Awooo?" The Wolf looked at her blankly, not knowing why she was suddenly asking this.

"Don't know, you should ask the Sheep about such things." The Wolf's head, floating in mid-air, shook vigorously.

"Why?" This time it was Yun Mu's turn to be surprised.

If she remembered correctly, although the God of Hunting and Death was a single entity divided into two consciousnesses, basically, the death aspect should be under the Wolf's jurisdiction, while that Sheep Spirit was the incarnation of hunting.

So why ask the Sheep Spirit about questions regarding death? "I am the incarnation of death, but I perform the deeds of hunting, while the Sheep is the opposite of me." Seeming to see through Yun Mu's thoughts, the Wolf explained with rare seriousness.

"Hmm." After hearing the Wolf's words, Yun Mu was somewhat confused: "In other words, although you are death, you do things related to hunting, and although the Sheep Spirit is hunting, it holds the power of death?"

"Why is that?"

"I forgot!" The Wolf grinned.

"Fine." Although she didn't know if it had truly forgotten or simply didn't want to tell her, either way, continuing to ask was clearly meaningless.

After Di Di scanned Yun Mu's pupils, the metal door of the Command Center opened instantly.

The basement of the Joy Company was brightly lit; on a metal platform expanded by maintenance workers, a behemoth surrounded by scaffolding and elevators lay quietly.

Dozens of maintenance workers continuously took processed parts and components from the Tank Factory, installing them bit by bit into this massive frame.

Only when she walked close did Yun Mu intuitively feel just how massive the warship described in the panel—106.8 meters long, 66.5 meters wide, and 32.2 meters high—truly was. Thinking that in just a few hours she would be able to ride this big guy to soar in the sky and even use Trans-dimensional Teleportation, Yun Mu was extremely excited.

Her fluids below were almost overflowing. "Miss Yun, drool, wipe your drool!" Lita appeared beside her at some point and hurriedly reminded her.

"Ah? Hmm?"

Yun Mu subconsciously raised her hand to wipe the corner of her mouth, but she wiped nothing.

Clearly, she had been played by Lita.

"Hehe, it's rare to see Miss Yun have such a lovestruck expression, so I couldn't help it." Seeing Yun Mu react, Lita stuck out her tongue at her, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Don't make me sound like a pervert, hey." Yun Mu put her hands on her hips, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.

"Speaking of which..." Yun Mu looked around curiously: "Why are you the only one here? Where are Brenna and the others?"

"That..." Lita placed her index finger on her chin and thought for a moment: "Brenna is learning Alchemy with Lucy, Elena is with them, and as for Iliyasi and Xiliya, they are helping out at the Joy Company's shelter..."

"I was originally with them too, but I was a little tired, so I thought I'd come out for a walk, and just happened to see Miss Yun..."

"Alright, no need to say more." Yun Mu interrupted her.

She suggested to her: "Do you want to go up and take a look?" As she spoke, Yun Mu raised her arm and pointed her thumb at the Shanyin Cruise Ship beside them.

"Is that okay?" A look of interest appeared on Lita's face, but soon, she thought of something and asked with concern: "It hasn't finished construction yet, won't there be problems if we go up like this?"

"Uh..." Yun Mu had originally thought there would be no problem, but hearing her say that, she suddenly became less confident: "There... shouldn't be any problems."

The Wolf on the side couldn't bear to watch: "Are you two joking?"

The Shanyin Cruise Ship was mostly built; what remained was just filling in some engines or more complex internal parts.

The maintenance workers going in and out up there were fine, so what could happen if Yun Mu and Lita went up to take a look?

After the Wolf said this, Yun Mu and Lita immediately reacted and became embarrassed.

It seemed that staying underground for too long had made their brains a bit dull.

"I think you need a guide." At this very moment, the God of Decay and Necromancy, Fen Yege, suddenly appeared beside them.

"A guide?" Yun Mu looked at Him in confusion.

Although the Shanyin Cruise Ship is massive in size and its interior is divided into four spatial levels, making it likely quite chaotic and complex inside, having a familiar guide is certainly good, yet she looks at Fen Yege with some suspicion.

Is this guy reliable?

Although she did not voice her inner thoughts, her expression made her meaning very clear.

Seeing this, Fen Yege chuckles, and he gestures to Yun Mu and Lita with extreme gentlemanliness: "Rest assured, within this city, I can guarantee that no one understands this Shanyin Cruise Ship better than I do."

By specifically saying "within this city," Yun Mu has reason to suspect that the target he wants to exclude is likely that God of Pleasure and Chaos, Vikala.

After all, this Command Center was created by that very being. "Alright, let's hurry," Fen Yege urges, looking even more anxious than Yun Mu and the others.

Come to think of it, this guy was, after all, a scientist before he died, so it is normal for him to be interested in something like the Shanyin Cruise Ship, which is clearly Black Technology.

However, Yun Mu feels that he is likely to be disappointed; it is uncertain whether that Super-dimensional Teleportation Engine even uses technological means at all.

It might just be some sort of metaphysics, purely relying on divine power or something like Authority to create a conceptual function, Yun Mu mutters to herself in her heart.

The group takes a lift temporarily constructed by the repair workers to the entrance of the Shanyin Cruise Ship; because the power has not yet been connected, the Gate cannot be opened by normal means.

Thus, the repair workers did not install a door at all, and after they arrive in front of the entrance via the lift, they can walk straight inside.

"Oh~ this should be the isolation area after boarding the ship, used for checking whether high-risk items are being carried, as well as for sterilization and disinfection," Fen Yege says, looking at the structure of the room and explaining to Yun Mu and Lita.

"Of course, this is also a repair area for mechanical bodies," Fen Yege says, raising his hand to point at the grooves on both sides of the wall: "Those grooves can Retreat and lie flat, and behind them are the maintenance rooms where parts can be replaced."

"What would happen if a person lay inside?" Lita asks curiously at this moment.

"Hmm," Fen Yege says, rubbing his chin in thought for a moment: "You would probably be kicked out, because this thing does not have biological medical functions."

"After all, theoretically, there should be no biological entities within the Old Legion; if you want it to have biological medical functions, perhaps you could spend Research Points to attempt it."

Pausing, Fen Yege suddenly thinks of something: "That Command Center is something Pleasure created, which is why it has a so-called combat command room, whereas this Shanyin Cruise Ship was built entirely according to the conceptual body plans within the Old Legion."

"Because it is a conceptual body, the Shanyin Cruise Ship may not be perfect in its design and will have many, many problems; I recommend you spend more Research Points on this thing."
