347: Chapter 347: The Invader 347: Chapter 347: The Invader However, after giving it so thought, this wild idea just might work.
Qian Chengxue replied without hesitation.
“Okay!”
So, the two of them started to work.
Without any decent tools, they had no choice but to resort to using his Ink Frost.
Although digging was extrely hard, it didn’t stop them.
With the boost from genetic evolution, their physical strength was far superior to that of normal people, so digging a hole was naturally not a problem for them.
After several hours, Su Mo and Qian Chengxue successfully dug a deep pit following the pipeline.
The two saw the giant pipeline buried at the bottom.
Su Mo drew Ink Frost and struck the pipeline, effortlessly cutting through the section of the pipe.
A thick green mist spread from the inside, and Su Mo and Qian Chengxue felt a bit nauseous upon slling it.
However, this virus had no significant effect on the two of them, who had undergone genetic and Spark evolution.
“Go in?”
Su Mo looked up at Qian Chengxue and asked tentatively.
“Go in!”
Qian Chengxue pulled out her automatic pistol and responded without any hesitation.
Without any hesitation, the two crawled into the pipeline leading towards Praying Dragon City.
The pipeline was pitch black inside, almost impossible to see anything.
At this point, Qian Chengxue took out two black short sticks from her backpack.
She twisted the sticks in the opposite direction, and they suddenly illuminated.
They were two glow sticks, and she passed one back to Su Mo.
“Here!”
“Thanks.”
Su Mo took it.
Normally, this wouldn’t be a matter of concern, but when he looked up, he was completely stunned and then lowered his head in so embarrassnt.
“Su Mo, what are you doing?
Hurry up!”
Qian Chengxue, who was leading the way in front, saw that Su Mo wasn’t following and turned her head to ask in puzzlent.
“Oh, right, I’m coming.”
Su Mo replied in a fluster.
Soon they moved on through the pipeline, which beca wider and more spacious the further they went.
After what felt like an indeterminate amount of ti, they were both able to stand and walk further inside.
“Su Mo, do you think we’ll reach Praying Dragon City if we just keep going like this?”
“It’s highly likely, but my biggest concern is whether the main force can break into Praying Dragon City.
Once we get in and they haven’t, we might be walking right into the lion’s den,” Su Mo guessed.
“That’s true, but it would be quite interesting if that’s the case.
We would have infiltrated Praying Dragon City even before the main force,” said Qian Chengxue, her mood clearly good, her voice carrying a hint of warmth.
Su Mo felt a slight surprise inside; he thought for a mont.
“It does seem that way.”
…
Three days later, in the underground central control room of Praying Dragon City, the artificial intelligence in front flashed with virtual images within square fras.
Each virtual image captured live battle scenes.
Undoubtedly, the external invaders had broken into Praying Dragon City and were engaged in a fierce battle with a large number of Super Biological Puppet Monsters.
The Fourth Generation Biological cha, Kwahizi, was classified as an advanced dangerous entity.
“Advanced dangerous entity detected, estimated Combat Power Value 130000, generating response plan…”
“Plan one, deploy Fourth Generation Biological cha, Mozeks!”
“Backup plan, deploy high-intensity CDW-02-type nuclear bombs, level everything on the surface…..”
…
At that mont, another prompt popped up.
“Alert, unidentified life forms have entered Praying Dragon City through the pipeline.”
“Generate response plan!”
“Plan one, heat the pipeline!”
“Alternative plan, deploy the pipe cleaning unit…”
…
In the pitch-dark tunnel, Su Mo and Qian Chengxue cautiously moved forward.
At this mont, they encountered a troubleso issue—the tunnel began to branch.
“Which way should we go?”
Su Mo asked with a bit of headache.
Qian Chengxue stood at the fork, closed her eyes, felt around, and then spoke.
“The poisonous fog is blowing from the front left, we should go this way.”
“Hmm.”
Su Mo nodded in agreent.
The two continued onward, to be honest, the long, silent tunnel was oppressively silent, causing them to unconsciously feel afraid.
After walking so distance, Su Mo began to feel excessively hot, his breathing beca rapid, and fine beads of sweat started to form on his forehead.
“Qian Chengxue, do you feel very hot?”
“Yes, we might be heading towards the burning room.”
Qian Chengxue too found the heat almost unbearable.
After all, their third-generation protective gear was damaged in multiple places and had lost most of its effectiveness.
Although she was not sure how high the temperature was inside the tunnel, her body was already feeling noticeably uncomfortable.
“Hold on a little longer, let’s see if there’s another fork ahead.”
Su Mo calmly reassured.
“Okay.”
Qian Chengxue nodded in response.
The two continued moving forward, but the temperature kept rising, and Su Mo felt his back was completely soaked through.
Su Mo took a deep breath and then took off his damaged chanical body armor, leaving only his shoes.
But even so, he still felt incredibly hot, so after a mont’s hesitation, he took off his shirt as well, revealing his robust physique.
At this ti, Qian Chengxue also took off her damaged third-generation chanical armor, her undergarnts soaked through and clinging to her delicate figure.
The scent of sweat mixed with the fragrance of her body began to spread.
Su Mo, who was close by, slled this scent and involuntarily felt his throat dry up, as his heart began to feel restless.
The two caught a glimpse of each other unintentionally and quickly averted their gaze, with Qian Chengxue’s cheeks turning a shade of red instantly.
Without speaking, they continued moving forward.
As they were passing around a corner of the tunnel, Su Mo caught sothing with his peripheral vision on the tal pipe above, and he suddenly stopped.
He thought he saw sothing move.
“What’s wrong?”
Qian Chengxue asked with curiosity.
Su Mo picked up the glow stick in his hand and carefully illuminated the overhead pipes, and suddenly he spotted a concealed cara.
Without any hesitation, he swung Ink Frost and chopped down, smashing the cara, and said in a grave voice.
“It’s a probe, we’ve been targeted.”
“Are you saying there are still people alive in Praying Dragon City?”
Qian Chengxue asked in disbelief, considering she hadn’t seen a living soul since they entered Star Ring.
“It’s not necessarily people, you’ve forgotten, the technology of this world is so deford, it’s possible there are completely unrestrained Artificial Intelligences.
Of course, that’s just my guess, but whatever the truth is, our situation is very dangerous now, we must have been discovered.
The tunnel being so hot, they are probably trying to get rid of us.”
Su Mo said calmly.
“What should I do now?”
“We can’t continue forward; they’re probably ready to take us out, find another exit!”
As Su Mo spoke, he began to knock on the surrounding tal pipes.
Qian Chengxue quickly caught on and also started knocking on the tal pipe walls to see where they were hollow, to break through.
And indeed, above where the cara was smashed, Su Mo found a hollow point when he knocked.
“Here!”
Su Mo didn’t hesitate to start swinging Ink Frost, beginning to chop through the pipe wall,
