Reincarnation space, but the style is wrong

Chapter 125: Grave Digging (×) Archaeology (√)

The city lord has fallen into Chen Xingzhi's control, and so have the nobles hiding elsewhere.

The infected people hiding around them bared their fangs, knocked down the noble lords whose defenses were empty, and injected the seeds of corruption into their bodies.

When Harold was still alive, Chen Xingzhi was still worried that he would find out and dared not act rashly. After all, he did not have the ability to secretly control the infected like his original body.

But now, Harold has become his experimental subject. Without his restraint, Chen Xingzhi can unscrupulously extend his claws to the upper class of Quinn City.

In less than a day, the city of Quinn quietly completed the change of regime, and the people in the upper city were completely unaware of it.

They only knew that the nobles and the city lord had a fight with each other for some unknown reason, and during the fight, a void incarnation appeared, so the city lord immediately notified everyone in the city to seek refuge.

Not long after entering the shelter, they received another notice stating that the danger had been lifted and Quinn City resumed normal production activities.

In the end, the city lord and the nobles reconciled, and there was no sign that the two sides had almost fought each other to the point of beating each other's brains out before. The whole incident seemed incomprehensible to the residents.

The city of Quinn was as peaceful as before. Except for the appearance of some familiar faces in the upper city for some reason, nothing had changed.

But for residents living in the lower city, which is almost separated from the upper city, the changes are obvious.

The previous strict system for the lower city is no longer in place, and some of the supplies from the upper city have begun to flow into the lower city. Everything is thriving!
Without the city lord and nobles sucking blood, the whole city of Quen is full of vitality and everything is flourishing.

The residents were happy because their lives returned to stability; Chen Xingzhi and Dayun Tianzun were also happy because they obtained the advanced technology passed down from their noble ancestors.

"Oh, my God, look at these strong lines and listen to these pleasant roars. They are as sweet as the corrupt soup brewed by Uncle Gray Tide next door."

Dayun Tianzun's eyes sparkled, like a hunter eyeing his prey, and he muttered to himself at a knight mecha.

".Can't you just turn off the two light bulbs in your eyes when you're touching the mecha?" Chen Xingzhi complained as he was installing the latest virtual energy engine on his new body.

Originally, this body used an old version of the virtual energy engine and a miniature atomic reactor obtained from Dayun Tianzun, but after he conducted some research on Harold's body, he immediately launched a new version of the virtual energy engine with greater power, which could replace the old version of the virtual energy engine.

While he was busy, Dayun Tianzun was also not idle. He admired this steel creation and studied the technology contained in it.

"This mecha is too old. It's hard to imagine how powerful the civilization that created it is, as it was made at an unknown time."

Chen Xingzhi was more interested in another point: "Such a powerful civilization has ended up in such a situation. I don't know what the 'Big Rift' that made them wander in the void is? How was it formed?"

"Who knows?" Dayun Tianzun shrugged. "It's not our fault anyway."

Their strength is still too weak, and there is no point in thinking about these things. The only thing they should do is to realize the interests of a city as soon as possible.

In addition to the knight mecha, they also obtained other good things, such as the living metal in Harold's body.

After consulting the unconscious Harold, they consulted his memories and discovered the origin of the Living Metal.

"It seems that Harold is the protagonist," Chen Xingzhi raised his eyebrows while flipping through Harold's memories. "A commoner boy accidentally entered an ancient ruin. After surviving a near-death experience, he won the recognition of the ruins guardian with his tenacious will. In the end, he got the opportunity, slapped the nobles in the face, and achieved the fourth level."

"If Harold had not stayed as the captain of the city defense team, but went to the capital of the Northern Alliance for further studies, he might have achieved greater success."

"Does this count as an example of being recruited?" Dayun Tianzun felt that Harold's second half of life was a bit like the leader of the rebel army who was recruited by the court. The only difference was that he really got the status and benefits, and was not thrown away after being used. "A bit, huh? I found the location of the ruins." Chen Xingzhi projected a map and marked a point on it, "It's hidden in the mines outside the city."

The two looked at each other, both eager to try.

"Send the avatar directly? Why don't we just move the mine and send a large army to station there." Chen Xingzhi was already prepared to send out the burrowing demon insects.

Dayun Tianzun agreed with his opinion and promised to send a mechanical army to assist the Zerg.

A mixed force of flesh and steel was soon dispatched outside the city. Burrowing demon worms drilled into the ground, gnawing at the soil and rocks. Together with the huge engineering machinery, they wiped the mines off the surface at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Some small accidents also happened during this process. The Void Cultists hiding in the mine were disturbed by the noise of moving the mountain and jumped out one by one to try to stop it.

However, when they saw the ferocious swarm of insects and the giant machines that blocked out the sky, they swallowed the words they were about to say.

"My dear friends, we are just passing by, passing by," the Void Priest said with a sneer, "Can you please show some mercy and let us go?"

Before he could finish his words, a giant laser drill was aimed at him.

The beam of light fell, and the priest disappeared from the face of the earth, along with the Void Cultists around him.

"Before you were valuable, I would have taken advantage of you. Now that you are no longer valuable, you still dare to jump out? Isn't this like lighting a lantern in the toilet - looking for death?"

Chen Xingzhi, who came over to supervise the excavation, sneered and suddenly noticed that a big hole had been blasted out by the laser drill where the priest had just stood, and the color of metal was faintly visible underneath.

"It looks like we have found it. If we expand the entrance, we can send troops in."

The swarm of insects and the excavating machines moved with great efficiency. In less than a moment, they expanded the entrance and poured into the cave like a tide.

Chen Xingzhi also mixed in with the large group and headed inwards.

Before he had taken two steps, a mechanical voice sounded:
"Welcome to Section 7 of the Ring Ark. I am from here, not here. What kind of monsters are you?"

The mechanical sound got stuck, and then it made a sharp explosion like a human.

"Oh? Since you are asking sincerely," a digging machine suddenly changed into a human form with a clicking sound, "then I will mercifully tell you."

"I am the Ironheart Exterminator from Cyberlux, and now I will free your mind and allow you to join our great expedition!"

"What the hell is Cyber?" The voice of the guardian of the ruins became more and more confused. "Forget it, I don't care what you are, just leave this ruins immediately, or..."

A laser drill was suddenly aimed at the depths of the ruins, and energy began to gather.

The hungry burrowing demon insects also roared and looked at us eagerly.

".Otherwise, don't blame me for inviting you in and treating you well." The guardian of the ruins slid down to his knees and said flatteringly:
"My two distinguished guests, this is not a place for negotiation. Please follow my indicator light and move to another more suitable place."

They didn't expect that this intelligent life would slide to its knees so quickly. Since the other party was so aware of the situation, the two men could only put away their weapons with regret and praise him as a "hero".
