Eternal Night

Chapter 490: Delicious Buns

Wu Pifu's dynamic vision was amazing; he immediately saw that the two forces attacking the camp were attacking.

One force consisted of various mechanical monsters that suddenly emerged from the ruins surrounding the camp. Some were insect-shaped, some humanoid, and some monstrous. They surged out from underground next to the camp and then rushed into the camp like a tidal wave.

The other force consisted of six figures who suddenly descended from the sky. They were all handsome men and beautiful women, each piloting a mechanical entity that resembled a mecha, a weapon platform, and a vehicle. They bombarded the entire camp with explosives and launched a frenzied attack on the oncoming mechanical lifeforms.

Compared to the six humans who were indiscriminately killing everything in the sky, the mechanical lifeforms were much easier to control. They ignored all attacks and simply surged towards a certain area of ​​the camp like a tide. Clearly, their target was very clear... A1!

"It really is a hot commodity, but..."

Wu Pifu narrowed his eyes, especially when he saw the six people bombarding the sky, his anger surged.

"Keep an eye on them for me!"

Wu Pifu put down the golden tree bonsai and then had the three small animal pendants come down from his body. Before the two could react, he stepped forward and shot straight into the air.

In a single burst, Wu Pifu exploded into ripples in the air, his speed of over four thousand meters per second transforming him into a hypersonic humanoid warhead.

In the very first second of its activation, the six humans in the sky turned to look at it almost simultaneously, and the surging tide of mechanical life on the ground also came to a halt.

Propelling itself forward at more than twelve times the speed of sound... an unprecedented, cutting-edge aircraft!?
Have androids (mechanical life forms) evolved to this extent?
The weapon platform controlled by the six people was rapidly turning, and at the same time, the mechanical lifeforms did not continue to rush towards the A1 cage. Instead, all the mechanical lifeforms began to converge and merge, with flesh-like components mixing together and the mechanical parts merging into the flesh.

"Oh!"

Just as the suspended weapon platform controlled by the six people turned, Wu Pifu had already rushed in front of one of the humans. With a simple jab, he punched out, causing the air ripples to dent. With a loud bang, the weapon platform was shattered. However, a visible protective force field appeared on the operator's body. After the air ripples from the jab destroyed the weapon platform, they were already more than five steps away from the person inside. Therefore, it only broke the protective force field, but the person was not seriously injured. He was just blasted away.

Wu Pifu ignored it, stopped in mid-air, then circled around once. All six weapon platforms in the sky were destroyed, and he then looked at the giant cocoons that appeared on the ground, a mixture of metal and flesh.

"It seems that we can be certain now that these mechanical life forms are the calamity of this world."

Wu Pifu looked down at the earth from mid-air. Based on the current information, these mechanical life forms possess the functions of aggregation, division, and evolution. And now, another characteristic can be confirmed... corrosion!

On the ground, humans in the camp lay screaming in agony, their bodies turning a dark reddish-black. They had wounds from attacks by mechanical lifeforms, and the dark red color spread rapidly from the wounds to their entire bodies. Mechanical structures also appeared inside their bodies, and their flesh and the mechanical structures within them began to transform into the form of mechanical lifeforms.

Wu Pifu did not continue attacking the six falling humans. Killing them would have been easy, but these mechanical lifeforms were clearly a greater threat. Without hesitation, he stomped hard on the air from the sky, creating ripples, and then crashed to the ground, landing on the largest mechanical cocoon of flesh and blood.

The surface of the giant mechanical cocoon was covered with a thick protective force field, but Wu Pifu pierced through it as easily as tearing paper. Then, with a slap, he smashed the entire cocoon, along with the mechanical flesh inside, into pieces. These pieces then turned to ash in mid-air and disappeared completely.

At this moment, the six people who landed recorded all of Wu Pifu's actions from his appearance to his attack. They were all elites among elites, members of the latest elite combat unit, Ruoye. Even without their weapon platforms, their combat power was still extremely strong. As soon as they landed, they were about to surround and attack Wu Pifu. However, when Wu Pifu slapped a giant mechanical cocoon of flesh and blood into ashes, all six people stopped at the same time, and an extremely rare look of bewilderment appeared on their faces.

"...Mechanical life form, deactivated?"

"Impossible! This place is already covered by a network of mechanical lifeforms. The smallest unit of all mechanical lifeforms is a nanostructure. How could it be reduced to ashes with a single slap?"

"Speed, power, easily neutralized the protective force field, and with a single slap, the mechanical life form was reduced to ashes..."

"Network blockage. Due to the network coverage of mechanical lifeforms, we are unable to contact the central network and cannot confirm whether this individual is the latest machine of the Human Council."

"Command's final order... to deal with A1. This is the highest order; continue to execute it..."

Although the six were shocked by Wu Pifu's exaggerated attack power and the unbelievable "crushing to dust," they immediately decided on their next move. The six people who landed at the six locations simultaneously rushed towards the location of A1. Just as Wu Pifu had smashed seven or eight giant cocoons in succession, the remaining dozens of giant cocoons had completed their super evolution. Dozens of monster-like, animal-like, or humanoid mechanical beings jumped directly out of the giant cocoons. Their speed was extremely fast, and they did not entangle with Wu Pifu at all. Wu Pifu even completely ignored their attacks and just charged headlong towards the location of the A1 cage.

Meanwhile, the people in the resistance camp were also fighting back and attacking, but they only attacked the mechanical lifeforms and ignored the six elite soldiers who had bombed their camp and killed many of them earlier.

The scene was noisy, and Wu Pifu perceived it all in his heart, like ripples spreading across a calm lake.

The six attackers and the mechanical lifeforms all target A1, who may be hiding some very important secret. The mechanical lifeforms are eager to obtain this secret, while the six attackers are clearly there to silence her.

Wu could ignore these ants, but the reaction of the people in the resistance camp really annoyed him. They would rather perish together with the mechanical lifeforms than attack these six people even once...

As dozens of mechanical lifeforms that had evolved to the second stage and six elite soldiers rushed toward the cage in A1, and the dozen or so resistance soldiers guarding the cage were about to be killed by the two sides, Wu Pifu finally stepped on the ground and jumped into the air, staring fiercely at the location of the cage.

In an instant, the entire earth seemed to tremble. A large area of ​​flashing electricity appeared around Wu Pifu. At the same time, the clouds in the sky split open. And this was not just a small cloud split open. In many space stations, observation stations, and satellite monitoring systems outside the Earth, a cumulus cloud on the Earth's surface split open at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing a large piece of land underneath.

Six elite soldiers rolled their eyes back and fainted on the spot while running. At the same time, the dozens of mechanical lifeforms stopped running. The flesh and machinery that made up their structure began to boil from the inside, and then turned into rotten flesh in clumps. The mechanical structure also completely collapsed. These dozens of mechanical lifeforms actually exploded and turned into a pile of rotten flesh and machinery.

Wu Pifu originally intended to continue attacking, using Conqueror's Haki only to delay the onslaught from both sides, but who knew it would be so effective? These mechanical lifeforms were actually "scared" to death.
“…Yes, this world is clearly a high-tech world. They all use high technology to fight, so they have basically no resistance to mental attacks.” Wu Pifu murmured, then slowly landed on the building where A1 was imprisoned.

At the same time, the behind-the-scenes world of the mechanical lifeforms and the human army was suddenly thrown into chaos.

"...Encountering an attack by an unknown, powerful data stream, the mechanical life network is partially paralyzed..."

"...Parsing a strong data stream... Parsing failed, parsing failed, parsing failed..."

"...Target lost, target lost, network self-check program initiated..."

"...Based on comprehensive assessment, those carrying network node functionality can resist this strong information flow..."

"Fine, I'll go myself. At least I need to confirm if the information we captured earlier is true, which is... whether all humans on the moon have really become extinct!"

Meanwhile, from the moon to outer space, to space stations, to spaceships...

"...Encountered an unknown, powerful data stream attack, causing partial paralysis of the central network..."

"...Unable to parse strong data stream..."

"...The curtain is about to break! Warning! Highest level warning! The curtain revealing the truth that humanity is extinct is about to break!"

"...The lunar central AI has completed its assessment. Once the truth of humanity's extinction is revealed, the morale of the Resistance (old-type androids), most of the Wakaba Unit (new-type androids), the Space Force, and the Lunar Guard will collapse, and the number of those who self-annihilate their data will exceed 62%..."

"...For the eternal glory of mankind! Activate the highest power ground-to-space weapon platform!"

"This is a necessary sacrifice!"

At the same time, Wu Pifu landed on the ground. Looking at the dozen or so guards staring at him in shock, he waved his hand and said, "Personally, I think you should release A1. She's at least an important fighting force now, and..."

"What the hell did I say? What did I do? Why are you all completely clueless?!"
