Chapter 689: Mechanical Heart
Chapter 689: Mechanical Heart
At this moment, a prompt suddenly popped up in the system:
[Warning: High concentration of neurotoxin detected in the surrounding environment. Please pay attention to safety. ]
This is the first time it has moved like this in such a long time.
It seems that the [Database] has brought him more surprises than these.
Li Yang immediately became alert and turned to Ella and said:
"There is indeed something wrong with this air. Think of a way to protect yourself."
Ella nodded, quickly opened her hands, and used her own spiritual power to create a translucent barrier to cover the two of them.
"The poison gas is not a problem, but it is better for us to find a safe place as soon as possible."
Li Yang nodded in agreement, and then pointed to the castle looming in the distance:
"Since we are directly teleported to the vicinity of that thing, it is likely to be the target we are looking for."
"Get closer, maybe there is the information we need there."
The two of them moved cautiously towards the castle.
On the way, Li Yang kept observing the surrounding environment, trying to find out how this world was different from the Solaris they knew.
"Ella, do you think the plants here look a little strange?" Li Yang said, pointing to a cluster of colorful flowers on the roadside.
Ella looked closer and was surprised to find that the flowers seemed to be moving slowly, and even heard faint mechanical sounds.
"These... are not ordinary plants. They are like some kind of biological-mechanical hybrid."
Li Yang nodded thoughtfully:
"The technological level of this world is very high, but at the same time it retains a lot of natural environment. This fusion... is very unusual."
As the two gradually approached the castle, the surrounding scene became more and more peculiar.
They saw some flying mechanical fish, metalized trees, and even a large area of rotten machinery that died on the tragic battlefield.
"What on earth has this world...been through?" Ella exclaimed, "I always feel like something is wrong."
Li Yang nodded in agreement: "Yeah, it all looks so...weird."
"It's like a future world club that someone created using technology..."
"Isn't this some extremely dangerous theme park?"
Before Ella could reply, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded, interrupting their conversation.
The air around the castle began to distort, forming an energy barrier visible to the naked eye.
[Warning: Intruder detected. Activate defense system. ]
A mechanized voice echoed throughout the area.
Li Yang and Ella looked at each other, and both saw vigilance in each other's eyes.
"I thought everyone in this place was dead..." Li Yang said, "The [Database] is so powerful, can't it prepare everything for you?"
"It would be great if I could put the [Heart] right in front of you..."
Ella smiled helplessly, and immediately began to observe the surrounding environment, looking for possible breakthroughs.
"Li Yang, look over there!" She pointed to a small opening on the castle wall, "It seems to be a ventilation hole there... It looks like we can go in from there."
"Or do you plan to blow a hole directly in the wall?"
Li Yang shrugged slightly:
"Without the [Street Light Flower], we can't determine the location of the [Heart]."
"If the [Heart] you are looking for is in the wall, wouldn't it be a joke?"
"Before finding the [Heart], it's better to avoid too much damage."
"Let's go in from this place first, but the opening is a bit high, we have to find a way to get up."
After that, Li Yang raised his hand slightly and threw out a brown light:
[Eternal Towering One·High Nut]
It was as if a mountain rose out of thin air on the ground.
A huge nut appeared under the feet of the two, carrying them and slowly came to a position flush with the ventilation duct.
At the ear level, the two quickly climbed up the high nut and easily entered the ventilation duct that was 10 meters high.
However, the moment they entered the duct, the entire castle suddenly shook violently.
"What's going on?" Ella was startled and asked hurriedly.
Li Yang frowned and carefully felt the changes around him: "This vibration... is not like an earthquake. It's more like..."
Before he finished speaking, the wall of the duct suddenly began to twist and deform, as if it had life.
"Be careful!" Li Yang shouted, pulling Ella forward quickly.
The moment they left the original place, that section of the duct suddenly broke, revealing the... mechanical structure behind it?
"This castle... is alive?" Ella said in disbelief.
Li Yang took a deep breath, his expression solemn: "No, it's not alive."
"This castle is actually a huge machine."
"We have entered its body..."
When the two tried to understand this amazing discovery, a huge hoarse voice suddenly sounded in their ears:
[Warning: Abnormal invasion detected. Activate the immune system. ]
Then, countless tiny robots poured out from the gaps in the pipes and surrounded the two.
"Tsk tsk..." Li Yang sighed, "It seems that we have been treated as some kind of virus."
Ella quickly summoned a rigid barrier to temporarily block those spider-like machines.
"Hurry up and find the control center, or the [heart] of this world..."
"Otherwise, God knows what else this thing will release."
Li Yang nodded calmly and replied:
"Okay... Since this castle regards us as viruses, let's invade maliciously."
"You mean..." Ella seemed to understand Li Yang's idea.
"Hehe..." Li Yang showed a resolute smile, "Let's have a large-scale virus invasion!"
After saying that, he raised his hand slightly.
[Otherworld Demander·Water Grass]
With Li Yang's call, countless dark vines began to grow wildly in the pipes and quickly spread to every corner of the castle.
Ella also nodded and began to use her ability to interfere with the castle's system.
The whole castle shook violently, and various alarms sounded one after another.
[Warning: Large-scale intrusion detected! System under serious attack!]
[Warning: Immune system ineffective!]
[Warning: Core system damaged!]
When the castle's system was in chaos, Li Yang suddenly felt a strong energy fluctuation.
"Did you hear this noise?" Li Yang raised his head slightly, "That sound... is very similar to the noise produced when the [heart] is working."
"If nothing unexpected happens, that may be what we are looking for."
Ella nodded: "Well... I can feel it too, let's go and have a look."
The two followed the direction of the energy fluctuation and quickly moved to the central area of the castle.
After a while, passing through the complex pipes that twisted like blood vessels, the two finally came to the heart of the castle... which is also the central control room.
In the center of the room, a sphere emitting strong light was suspended in the air.
