Doomsday Sequence Caravan: I Have a Mechanical Heart

The layers of gray mist stretched out countless tentacles, constantly reaching towards Su Mu and his companions' metal protective shield, trying to get in through the windows.

But suddenly, blue flames rose from the metal shield, scorching the gray mist.

Seeing this, Ling Hao and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Su Mu's expression grew increasingly solemn. He quickly went to the window and looked outside, only to find that the brightness of the flames was gradually diminishing.

At this rate, the energy on top will be completely depleted in less than an hour, or even less than twenty minutes.

He quickly turned around and looked at Ling Hao and the others, "We must act as soon as possible."

"That weird thing is trying to use the gray fog to deplete the energy in this protective shield."

"Then I'll lead you out first." Cheng Jun stood up abruptly and said to Su Mu, "Let's collect those sources of evil first."

"Okay." Su Mu nodded, then, remembering something, asked, "By the way, do you know how to use any weapons?"

"You mean...?" Cheng Jun realized something, his eyes widening in surprise, then added, "I can use a knife."

"Then when we collect the essence of the strange later," Su Mu looked at him, "you pick up a piece of car debris."

"I'm trying to transform it into a large sword in your hands."

"Okay." Cheng Jun's eyes lit up with joy. "I'll go out first."

After saying that, he opened the door and rushed out first. The moment he stepped out, his figure began to grow larger rapidly.

After Su Mu stepped out, he raised his crossbow and fired a burst of shots at the strange creatures that were attacking him. Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, streaks of blue light flashed, followed by flames rising up.

After Cheng Jun transformed into a giant, he roared and led Su Mu toward the places where the source of the strangeness resided.

A few seconds later, Cheng Jun walked up to a car, ripped off the roof, and dragged it beside him.

Su Mu reached out and placed his hand on Cheng Jun's arm. A flash of blue light appeared, and the light traveled directly from Cheng Jun's arm to the roof of the car.

As the blue light rapidly enveloped it, the roof of the car began to deform quickly, starting from Cheng Jun's hand, first transforming into a heavy hilt, then into the blade. The metal plate rapidly contracted and deformed to form the blade.

A few seconds later, a long sword, more than two meters long and gleaming with blue light, appeared in Cheng Jun's hand.

He roared excitedly, wielding the blue longsword with a whooshing sound, and streaks of blue flame added to its domineering aura.

"Come forth, with this divine blade!" Cheng Jun roared excitedly as he faced the charging monsters, "Grandpa will surely slaughter you all!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a blade of light several meters long flashed by, instantly slicing several of the strange creatures in half.

Seeing this power, Cheng Jun's fighting spirit intensified. Holding Su Mu in one hand and wielding a knife in the other, he engaged in fierce combat with the strange creatures.

"..." Su Mu was a little embarrassed. How excited must they be? He quickly coughed twice to remind them, "Our purpose this time is to collect the Origin of the Strange."

"Once you've collected enough, it's not too late for you to slay those monsters."

"Okay." Cheng Jun smiled a little embarrassedly upon hearing this, "I'm too excited."

Soon, he led Su Mu around the metal protective shield, collecting most of the strange essences.

Adding to the few more that Cheng Jun killed earlier, Su Mu's Mechanical Heart now has over 700 energy points. With another 200 or so, he will have accumulated 1,000 energy points to evolve the Mechanical Heart to level two.

He looked at the dozens of strange creatures remaining in the distance, all of them large, especially the last one. If he wiped them all out, wouldn't advancing his Mechanical Heart to level two be a piece of cake?

However, eliminating these strange creatures will be extremely difficult!

Cheng Jun led Su Mu back to the entrance of the protective shield, ready to rush over and fight those strange creatures, to show off the might of his longsword.

"Don't rush to kill those monsters," Su Mu quickly called out to him. "Help me collect some of those car wrecks."

"I can wipe them out with one strike," Cheng Jun said with great pride.

"It's not just one or two, it's a lot," Su Mu said again. "I need to make more bullets and arrows for my sons."

As he spoke, he modified the crossbow with arm guards so that it could be fired with a tap of his fist. Although this was a bit hard on his wrist, it allowed for rapid fire, which indirectly increased the power of the attack.

"Okay." Cheng Jun agreed and swung his knife at the nearby car wreckage.

At this moment, Ling Hao, An Xin, and Yu Yao also came out and stood guard beside Su Mu, helping him to withstand those strange attacks.

Cheng Jun brought over a few pieces of car debris and tossed them next to Su Mu. Then, looking at Ling Hao and Yu Yao, he grinned and said, "Look at my new weapon! Isn't it cool?!"

"Be careful, something strange is going on!" Ling Hao was sweating profusely.

Yuyao also rolled her eyes at him.

"Haha." Cheng Jun swung his sword, severing the eerie tentacles that reached out. Then he turned and charged towards the monsters, "Let's go, let's have a good slaughter!!"

Although Ling Hao and Yu Yao were speechless, they still cooperated with him and rushed towards those strange creatures.

Su Mu took a piece of car wreckage and quickly transformed it into arrow quivers and magazines.

Half a minute later, he and An Xin each grabbed five or six and rushed towards Ling Hao and the other two.

This time, they had no choice but to fight with all their might, determined to destroy all these strange entities. The blue flames on the metal shield wouldn't last much longer either.

Therefore, they have no way out.

If we give it our all, there's still hope for survival; if we don't, we're doomed!

Su Mu and An Xin approached from a distance of about ten meters behind Ling Hao and the other two, and began firing rapidly.

Previously, one or two bullets were enough to take down a monster, but now it takes five or six bullets, so the two of them are running out of bullets very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, a few minutes passed.

Cheng Jun and the other two suffered wounds of varying degrees again, looking horribly injured, their clothes soaked in blood.

An Xin continuously used healing spells to heal their injuries, which allowed them to barely withstand the strange creatures.

At this moment, only five or six strange creatures remained in front of them, each ten meters in size, waving their tentacles and lashing out at Cheng Jun and the other two.

And the largest, most elusive creature deep within the gray fog finally moved, letting out a sharp, piercing shriek.

Then a piercing sound came, causing Su Mu and the others to feel dizzy and almost fall to the ground.

However, this slight delay caused Cheng Jun and the other two to be lifted high by those eerie creatures, which seemed intent on tearing their bodies apart.

Su Mu snapped out of his daze, his expression suddenly changing. If these three were to die, no one would be able to stop these strange beings.

As he raised his arm and fired wildly at the eerie creatures, he snatched the pistol from An Xin's hand and fired another burst of shots at them.

This bought Cheng Jun precious time. He roared and snapped off the tentacles wrapped around him. Then he swung his sword and slashed at the tentacles that were binding Ling Hao and Yu Yao.

Before he could rescue the two, the largest wandering monster rushed over, its dozen tentacles frantically coiling around Cheng Jun.
