Eternal Night

Chapter 488 Completely baffled
Wu Pifu could see that this huge mechanical monster had an overwhelming advantage over the three men and women present. With a few movements, it knocked away the two men and women who were flying and attacking, and the two men and women could not even break through the defensive force field on the surface of the mechanical monster.

Although both of them had defensive force fields, their force fields were already showing signs of cracking after repeated impacts, especially the young beauty being torn apart by the mechanical monster, whose defensive force field was on the verge of shattering.

"So……"

Wu Pifu stood still, placed the golden tree on the ground, and then the three small animals jumped off him. He thought for a moment, checked the distance, and decided not to use the dimensional ring. He simply reached out and prepared to charge forward to attack.

But as soon as he reached out, he immediately sensed something was wrong, because what he extended was a small palm, which even looked somewhat pale and tender, lacking the beauty of muscles that had been honed through countless trials.

Wu Pifu stopped, touched his face, and then silently lowered his hand.

Wu Pifu reappears in his child form!

This is an image that existed in the Buddha's Dream World. It is a forged appearance created by the main brain. Under this appearance, the main brain will cover up a certain amount of information, so that it can be forged on the causal level.

But this disguise really turned his physical body into that of a child, okay?

Although his strength had not diminished at all, Wu Pifu was speechless at his appearance.

Then they saw a dead-eyed, expressionless boy put down the Golden Tree, stand there stunned for a few seconds, then stomp his foot, shattering the ground, and he was sent flying thousands of meters away, kicking the giant mechanical monster in the head.

With a loud bang, the mechanical monster's hideous head exploded. What surprised Wu Pifu the most was that something resembling flesh and blood gushed out of the machine, scattering everywhere around it. Then, this flesh and blood began to corrode the earth and plants, and quickly dissipated into smoke.

"Is the catastrophe of this world a mutation of flesh and machine? That's quite similar to the dream world of Heavy Armor Super Soldier." Wu Pifu landed and looked at the mechanical monster that was only half left, deep in thought.

At this moment, the other three were stunned. They seemed to be wearing some kind of high-tech equipment. Looking at the streamlined bodysuits, the man was handsome and the woman was sexy. Especially the young beauty who had just been torn apart by the mechanical monster's mouth, her clothes even included stockings and a miniskirt. This... was really unscientific!

The three of them hovered in mid-air, looking at the fallen mechanical monster. For a moment, they did not let their guard down, but their guard was not on Wu Pifu, but on the mechanical monster that was only half its original size.

Wu Pifu frowned at this moment because he found that his super brain's emotional perception was completely useless. He could not sense the emotions of the three humans, nor could he sense the emotions of the mechanical monster. There was no murderous intent, fear, sadness, or anything like that.

"Could it be another one of those restricted area forces?"

Wu Pifu now understands that those ethereal beings, who haven't been lost for some reason, are the ones whose emotions he can't perceive, such as the people from the forbidden zones in the Lost Lands. In contrast, he can perceive the emotions of ordinary life on the continent of the Lost Lands, which means that these life forms still retain some semblance of reality.

His mission this time was to find the remnants of a true civilization from the previous era that was falling or even possibly being lost. Thinking about it this way, the reason he couldn't sense the emotions of these three people might be because they were being lost.

Just as Wu Pifu was deep in thought, the mechanical monster lying on the ground suddenly shrank into its body. All the metal shells and flesh-like substances kept writhing and boiling. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a giant cocoon of metal mixed with flesh. The giant cocoon throbbed like a huge heart.

The three people hovering in the sky all had solemn expressions. Suddenly, the young woman in the miniskirt shouted to Wu Pifu on the ground, "Latest model! We'll cover you! Move in immediately! Don't let this mechanical life form enter the second stage!!"

Wu Pifu paused for a moment. He felt that these people regarded him as one of their own, equipped with the latest technology. After all, these three people could levitate, and the technology of this world seemed incredibly advanced.

Just as he took to the air and stepped on the air towards the mechanical monster, the giant cocoon of mechanical flesh and blood suddenly exploded, and a multi-limbed humanoid mechanical body about three meters tall shot out.

This humanoid mechanical being was jet black and reflective, with a streamlined body and three pairs of forelimbs, all of which were in the form of incredibly sharp laser swords. On its back were three pairs of semi-transparent dragonfly-like wings, which could break the sound barrier with a flap, and it rushed to Wu Pifu in less than half a second.

"Damn it, the second stage is the agile assault type. You two, retreat quickly, I'll handle this..."

Just as the woman in the miniskirt was about to shout, the humanoid mechanical body that rushed in front of Wu Pifu was about to swing its six laser-equipped forelimbs. Wu Pifu reached out and pressed forward. In front of his palm, the air within a hundred-meter diameter was directly compressed and exploded. Even the field of vision visible to the naked eye was distorted. Then, the forelimbs of the humanoid mechanical body were frozen in mid-air and could not move. Immediately afterwards, a huge pressure came from nowhere. Before Wu Pifu could even touch it, its entire body was directly compressed and exploded. The mechanical body mixed with flesh and blood exploded, creating a mechanical flower of flesh and blood in mid-air.

The three were amazed again, looking at Wu Pifu with utter shock. Wu Pifu ignored them, simply pointing to the ground before darting back to where the three small animals and the golden tree were. He then put the three pendants on his body and picked up the golden tree's flowerpot.

“Sister A1! Run! We…we’re coming…” Another woman standing next to the woman in the miniskirt and stockings, with light brown hair and a few freckles on her face, also looked cute. She hurriedly said to the woman in the miniskirt and stockings.

The woman in the miniskirt and stockings had a stunning figure, long legs, and fair skin. Her tight-fitting bodysuit was slightly torn, revealing glimpses of her fair skin. She had short silver hair and looked exceptionally beautiful. She shook her head with a bitter expression and whispered, "No, this must be the Moon Council's latest elite machine sent to retrieve my aircraft, or even a next-generation machine under secret research that hasn't been fully finalized yet... We can't even understand its weapons, and the speed we just observed reached 2,762 meters per second at its peak..."

After speaking, the beautiful woman in a miniskirt and stockings, known as A1, descended from the sky and stood about twenty meters away from Wu Pifu. Another man and a woman also flew down eagerly, each seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

A1 paused for a moment, then bowed to Wu Pifu and said, "I'll go back with you, or you can deal with me now, but they're just resistance fighters, they don't know anything... Please let them go!"

Wu Pifu paused for a moment, then pursed his lips, inwardly sighing that it was another case of sordid politics, or some melodramatic plot involving internal betrayal and backstabbing.

He shook his head and said, "I'm not here to kill you, and I have no interest in your backstory. I just want to ask you three where the nearest town is. I mean a town that is still functioning normally. Just point in a direction."

Then, Wu Pifu was extremely annoyed to find that his confusion index had soared to over 10,000.

"Damn it, not again, not again! What riddle did I say? Or do you think I'm joking? Performing a comedy routine?! Why are you always so clueless?" Wu Pifu roared at the three of them, unable to contain himself any longer.

The more he said this, the more confused the three people present became. In fact, not only the three of them, but also the people monitoring them were baffled.

They understood every single word Wu Pifu said, but when put together, they couldn't understand it.

After a long pause, A1 said, "If you don't intend to punish me or take me away, can I leave?"

Wu Pifu was about to agree, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "I saved you, so at least tell me where the town is? If that's not possible, is there any place nearby where people gather?"

Another baffling surge in the index. Although the number was important, Wu Pifu was genuinely unhappy.

After a few seconds, the young man raised his hand and said, "Excuse me, if you mean the resistance camp... there is indeed one nearby, we will take you there immediately."

Wu Pifu naturally did not object and followed the three of them in a certain direction.

Along the way, Wu Pifu's confusion index kept rising. Although the increase was not as large as at the beginning, the three of them did not fly from departure to arrival. Instead, they ran at the speed of ordinary people for nearly an hour. During this time, Wu Pifu's confusion index increased by more than 50,000.

"...No, what exactly am I..."

Wu Pifu was too lazy to even complain anymore, so he simply followed along with a blank expression.

They didn't encounter any enemies along the way, and Wu Pifu also noticed that among the three, the woman in the miniskirt and stockings, A1, was the leader, while the other two seemed to lack their own opinions.

When the group arrived at the ruins of a town, Wu Pifu saw that there were indeed a large number of humans in the ruins. Some were farming, planting a kind of flower crop, some were maintaining weapons, some were tidying up the ruins, and some were patrolling and guarding the surrounding area. They were all in good order. Seeing this, Wu Pifu breathed a sigh of relief.

Without emotional perception, it would be really troublesome for him to understand the situation in this world, but going to a crowded place would definitely make things much easier.

Just as Wu Pifu was about to enter the town, more than a dozen people suddenly emerged from the surrounding bushes and other places. They simultaneously raised their guns and pointed them at A1, shouting, "A1! You betrayed us!? You betrayed the Human Council!?"

Both young people were extremely anxious, but A1 obediently lowered her head and murmured, "...There are no humans left."

The voice was very low, and apart from Wu Pifu, no one around could hear it.

Then, A1 surrendered without resistance, and the two young men and women were also reprimanded. Then, everyone looked at Wu Pifu.

Wu Pifu revealed a gentle smile and said, "Hello everyone, I am a traveler from afar, here to travel the world..."

The "I'm totally confused" index is rising sharply...

"...No, what the hell did I say in a riddle? Was it really that serious?!"
