Machine War: Infinite Frontier.

Chapter 627: A Wasted World

The three supply boxes were not big and were only enough for five people for two or three days, so if they couldn't find supplies within these few days, the days ahead would probably be difficult.

The three boxes were distributed to three people and hung behind them, while Xiao Yun and Leonard went into battle lightly.

But in a wasteland, it's a gamble of luck which direction to go. This time, the start is completely different from entering any other world before. Although he can let Ling Yi Ling dance with the armor and fly up to the sky to see if they can find others, others can naturally find them. Now that he doesn't know what the situation is, Xiao Yun thinks it's best to act low-key. Observe the situation first. It won't be too late to make arrangements when it's really necessary. Now he can only choose a direction to go first.

"It's really desolate." Kururugi Suzaku looked at the endless scenery and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "It feels like the entire surface of the earth has been destroyed. Not to mention the human towns, it's like there is no trace of life anymore."

No one knew what Leonard had been doing. Although he had been moving forward with everyone, he was actually relying on an auxiliary computer to do other things.

After Kururugi Suzaku finished speaking, Leonard suddenly spoke up: "Although I don't want to think so, because it will make our next actions more difficult, but based on the facts, we have to accept this possibility, and it is a very high possibility."

Xiao Yun asked, "What did you find?"

“There are some discoveries.”

Leonard stopped and looked up at the sky. The sky was not the normal blue but seemed to be polluted by another color.

“Although I couldn’t access any network, I could indeed receive very weak signals, and I felt like there seemed to be something in the sky.”

Xiao Yun also looked up, but no matter how much he enlarged the image, he could not see anything.

"keep going."

Xiao Yun shook his head and continued walking. Kururugi Suzaku patted Leonard and followed Xiao Yun.

Until they climbed over a hill, Zhuque was instantly frozen by the scene in front of him, staring blankly at the other side of the hill.

Xiao Yun also stopped beside Zhuque and looked ahead. He paused and spoke slowly: "It seems that we are lucky to have found the ruins of a city. It just looks like it is quite old."

Leonard began to analyze the images, and after reading the various analysis results, he slowly said, "No, it shouldn't be too long."

The city in front of them cannot be said to be very huge, but it can at least be regarded as a medium-sized city. The city that appeared in the eyes of Xiao Yun and others was already in ruins, with potholes and collapsed high-rise buildings everywhere. The city was also full of large and small deep pits. The remains of the city could be seen, but most of the time there was nothing left.

"The attack should have come from the sky. It was a very terrifying attack. The first wave of attacks destroyed the city and then the entire city was almost evaporated in an instant, leaving only an empty wasteland."

After Leonard finished speaking, he turned around and looked in the direction they came from. "I'm afraid it's the same in other places. The surface of this planet suffered a terrible attack that almost destroyed everything on the ground, turning the earth into scorched earth. There is nothing left except stones."

Xiao Yun pointed to a hundred-meter-high pillar that was still standing in the ruins of the city and said, "Is that the remains of a space elevator?"

"According to the analysis, there is more than a 95% chance of that happening." Leonard nodded slightly and said, "So there really is something in the sky. If the humans on this planet were wiped out by an attack that destroyed the entire surface, it makes sense that there would be no network. Those weak signals are probably sent by some remaining facilities."

Xiao Yun groaned: "Let's go and take a look. Maybe we can find some valuable information."

The five people jumped directly from the top of the mountain and quickly headed towards the huge steel pillar.

Kururugi Suzaku said in a puzzled tone: "What on earth happened? Such a city can accommodate at least several million people. Could it be that all the people in the city were evaporated in an instant?"

Renard said calmly, "It must have been a sudden attack. Even if we were prepared in advance, I don't think anyone would be safe and sound from an attack that affected the entire landmark. Even if someone is still alive, they are very few. It would be very difficult to blindly search for humans who are still lingering on the entire planet."

Ling Wu and Ling Yi, who were at the front, suddenly stopped. This reaction also made Xiao Yun and the other two stop and show the same vigilance.

"underground!"

Ling Yi warned calmly, jumping high in an instant and taking the weapon from behind him.

At the same time as Lingwu jumped up, several others also jumped up from their original positions and used various means to quickly hide in higher places.

Suddenly, countless gaps appeared on the ground, and unknown life forms that looked like plants but extremely strange and had obvious biological characteristics drilled out from the ground, followed by countless reptiles with compound eyes.

"What is this!? Zombie?"

Ling Wu's expression was dull for a moment, but his hands did not stop moving. He opened fire directly at the countless reptiles that emerged from the ground. These insects had green shells and sharp teeth, and their height was far greater than that of ordinary people. The flying bullets could easily penetrate their shells and splash blood.

Ling Yi affirmed: "No, it is something else, a disgusting spore parasitic life."

"Fortunately, I can handle it if I can penetrate the shell."

Seeing this, Kururugi Suzaku was not willing to waste bullets, so he pulled out his specially made physical sword and rushed towards the ground, chopping down the melons and vegetables with his sword, and soon cleared a large area.

Xiao Yun focused his attention on the plant-like bodies that popped out. It was a bit embarrassing that ordinary bullets could hardly cause effective damage to such larger targets.

"Tsk, trouble."

After several people jointly killed dozens of insects, the ground suddenly began to shake, as if something big was drilling out from the ground. Undetectable ripples spread from the equipment on Xiao Yun's combat uniform, and densely packed yellow targets under the ground suddenly appeared on the head-up display of Xiao Yun and others.

"How can there be so many?"

Suzaku Kururugi hurriedly stopped fighting and dodged quickly. According to the feedback from the detection system, the entire ground is now full of such bugs. Not only are their numbers terrifying, but each individual bug is also getting bigger and bigger, with some being over ten meters long.

"Zero Dance, Suzaku takes the boss and Lord Reynard away, and I will take care of the rest."

Ling Yi threw the supply box behind him towards Ling Wu with force. A dazzling light burst out from his body and in just a blink of an eye he changed into a different appearance and completed his dressing.

After putting on the armor, Ling Yi stretched out his arms and began to gather energy at his chest. Xiao Yun and others, who were reminded, quickly ran away and ran towards the direction of the giant pillar without looking back.

After Ling Yi finished charging, he fired a cannon towards the ground, shattering the ground and causing a huge explosion.

Feeling the explosion behind them, Xiao Yun and his companions did not even turn their heads. They could only completely believe that Ling Yi could deal with all the enemies. Of course, they did not have any doubts about this at all. The entrance and exit of the giant pillar could no longer be opened, but it did not stop Xiao Yun and his companions from forcibly breaking through the door and directly breaking a gap to get inside.

The outside of the giant pillar looks dilapidated, but the inside is not much better. It is dark and no facility is functioning properly. Walls and ceilings have collapsed everywhere, but compared to the outside, it is relatively well preserved.

Xiao Yun and Leonard were also looking for available equipment as soon as possible. A few minutes later, Ling Yi came out of the gap, stopped the combat state and fell behind Xiao Yun.

"Boss, everything is resolved."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Xiao Yun nodded and tried to start the available equipment with Leonard, but unfortunately, without energy supply, even a simple start-up was impossible.

"Can the energy from the combat suit be used to power these facilities?"

Leonard shook his head slightly and said, "You can give it a try, but don't expect too much. I don't think the energy from the combat suits alone can support the equipment inside. Moreover, we can't be sure whether the equipment is damaged. This kind of facility should also have a backup power supply... But there are so many reptiles around here. I suspect that those insects may need to absorb the energy from this place. After all, we have walked for more or less hours and haven't encountered a single reptile. But we just happened to encounter one when we arrived here."

"If the backup power supply is hidden deep underground..." Leonard looked at Xiao Yun and said, "If we want to get useful information from these devices, we may have to face more crawlers. I have to find a way to dismantle the equipment. I can only rest here today."

Xiao Yun also knew there was no other way, so he nodded and said, "Suzaku in the first half of the night, Lingwu in the second half."

There was no other choice but to set up camp here. Xiao Yun walked to the gap and looked outside. He was silent for a while and suddenly said, "Reynard, speed up."

Several people began to rest and only Leonard was busy. When Xiao Yun took off his helmet, he felt a wave of scorching heat, which made him feel uncomfortable. He could only eat emergency food, compressed biscuits, energy bars and small water drops. There was no need to worry about the taste, at least it was much better than instant noodles.

As the night gradually darkened, Xiao Yun found a place to lean against, slowly closed his eyes and began to recuperate.

After all, it is still unknown what will happen in the future, and maintaining the best condition is also a quality that a fighter should have.

Xiao Yun was dozing off when he was pushed awake by Zhuque: "Sir, sir."

"Hmm?" Xiao Yun wiped his mouth and looked at Suzaku Kururugi with sleepy eyes: "Is it my turn to keep watch?"

"No, sir." Shumu Zhuque was somewhat helpless. He pulled Xiao Yun to the gap and pointed in a direction: "There is someone."

Xiao Yun suddenly woke up and looked in the direction that Kururugi Suzaku had pointed. He looked for a long time but saw nothing. It was only after Kururugi Suzaku handed the helmet to Xiao Yun that he could see it clearly.

A figure covered in a cloak was moving slowly in the darkness, and one could vaguely see the long white legs exposed by the strong wind.

"There really is someone there, and it seems to be a woman, and she is not wearing any clothes?"

Xiao Yun looked at the people present. Except for Leonard who seemed to show no concern, Lingwu and Lingyi also came over.

"Boss, I'll bring her over."

Xiao Yun nodded: "Be careful, there are three taboos when traveling in the martial arts world."

A bunch of people looked at Xiao Yun with question marks on their faces: "????"

Even Leonard looked up and seemed to be wondering what the so-called Jianghu and the three major taboos were. The Jianghu was easy to understand as Leonard roughly knew what it was, but the three major taboos?

Xiao Yun said in a deep voice: "A woman walking alone, a woman walking alone without even wearing clothes in the middle of the night, a woman walking alone in the desert without even wearing clothes in the middle of the night, Lingwu, you go and talk to her first, after all, more courtesy is better."

Leonard's breathing became irregular, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he lowered his head to work again.

Kururugi Suzaku thought about it and agreed deeply. None of the women he knew were simple.

Ling Yi remained silent and didn't know what to say.

Ling Wu felt deeply touched. If she were to become that woman, it would probably be very dangerous to others.

"Understood, Boss. Let's invite you properly first."

Ling Wu jumped directly from the gap that was tens of meters high, and ran quickly on the ground towards the woman who appeared here mysteriously. Xiao Yun noticed that Ling Wu stopped in the distance and shouted in the direction of the woman.

The two people slowly approached each other, and their voices were heard by Xiao Yun and others simultaneously.

Lingwu: "Hello, I'm Lingwu, how can I help you?"

A gentle female voice: "I...I...I don't need any help from you. Thank you. Do you know what happened here during the day?"

Ling Wu: "Yes, there are a lot of strange bugs coming out from the ground, but we have cleared all the bugs that have run to the ground. However, it is still very dangerous here. You'd better not run around. We will camp on the tower over there. It's not safe for you to be alone. Go to our camp to rest for a while, and you can also have something to eat."

The gentle female voice hesitated: "That..."

Ling Wu: "It's okay, my boss asked me to invite you. Do you live nearby? We also have something we want to ask you about. Come, I'll hold you."

A gentle female surprised voice: "Ah... no no... no need."

"It's okay. Did you encounter any problems? If you have any difficulties, you can come to us."

Kururugi Suzaku looked at Xiao Yun: "This... Isn't Lingwu a little too friendly?"

"She probably rarely interacts with others." Xiao Yun smiled slightly and said, "Okay, being friendly is not a bad thing. It's quite my style. Don't scare the other person when they come."

In fact, when Xiao Yun saw the bug today, he already knew what kind of world this was. When he watched the live broadcast from Lingwu, Xiao Yun probably knew who the person in front of him was, but he was not sure and did not have much impression.
