Doomsday Sequence Caravan: I Have a Mechanical Heart

"What's wrong with this hairpin?" Su Mu looked down and found that there was no change.

"Look." An Xin didn't elaborate, but held it in her palm. The next moment, the originally ordinary hairpin flashed with white light and instantly transformed into a snow-white and crystal-clear magic staff.

It is about 40 to 50 centimeters long. The tip of the staff is shaped like a two-winged angel, which looks extremely beautiful.

"How do you raise it!" An Xin asked Su Mu happily.

"Wow!!" Su Mu couldn't help but exclaim, "This hairpin is really a sequence artifact, and it's so beautiful."

"Wouldn't that make it much easier for you to cast healing spells?"

"Not only that," An Xin said excitedly, "I also possess offensive skills."

"Forgiveness is called the Dawn!"

"!!!" Upon hearing this, Su Mu raised his eyebrows. This name sounded very prestigious, and it also sounded somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

"I named it myself!" An Xin smiled a little embarrassedly when she saw Su Mu looking at her like that.

"It sounds great!" Su Mu suddenly realized, nodding heavily. "How powerful is it?"

"It should be alright." An Xin thought for a moment, "I haven't tried it yet."

"I'll give it a try if I encounter anything strange again."

"Then," Su Mu hummed in agreement, "I'll go with you."

"Okay." An Xin agreed, put away the staff, and stood up. "It's getting late, I'll go back and rest now."

"You should go to bed early too."

"Good night!"

"Good night!" Su Mu said good night, and after watching An Xin return to the RV, he closed the back door.

He clasped his hands behind his head, a slight smile playing on his lips. "The forgiveness of dawn! Hehe, adding the word 'goddess' makes it even more amazing!"

After saying that, he closed his eyes and rested.

As the sun rises and sets, seven days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Su Mu drove, yawning every now and then. An Xin, in the passenger seat, saw this and a look of heartache flashed in her eyes. "Why don't you let me drive? You can rest for a while."

"No need," Su Mu waved his hand. "It's almost noon."

"We should stop and rest soon."

Just then, the horn on Ling Hao's car in front suddenly sounded, "An abandoned factory area has appeared five kilometers ahead."

"Once we get there, we'll stay there for half an hour."

"Attention everyone, do not enter the factory area without permission. Stay near your vehicles."

"We will leave immediately if any dangerous situation arises."

Su Mu craned his neck and looked out the car window. He could vaguely see huge chimneys, blast furnaces, cooling towers and so on standing on the land in the distance.

"What does Ling Hao mean? Does he want to collect supplies there?" An Xin also looked in that direction, somewhat puzzled.

"What could there be in an abandoned factory area?" Su Mu glanced at An Xin.

"The only thing I can think of is fuel," An Xin said after a moment of silence.

"There are dormitories in the factory area too," Su Mu continued. "Maybe you can even get some living supplies there."

"There must be something strange about that too," An Xin said.

"There definitely will be." Su Mu nodded and sighed. "I just hope that the kind of strangeness that was close to the Lord's Strangeness we saw before won't happen there."

"They're really too difficult to deal with."

Seven or eight minutes later

The convoy stopped a hundred meters away from the abandoned factory area. The reason for stopping so far away was to make it easier to escape.

Before getting out of the car, Su Mu shone the light into the size of a dagger and tucked it into his waistband. Then he and An Xin got out of the car together.

Cheng Jun, carrying his broadsword over two meters long, looked at Su Mu and was somewhat surprised to see him with his hands in his pockets.

"Aren't you going to take the Gatling gun?"

"You've used up all the bullets." Su Mu rolled his eyes at him. "What am I supposed to do with them?"

At this moment, Ling Hao also came over with Nie Xiaoying. Su Mu looked at him and said, "Let Xiaoying get a sense of whether it's dangerous inside."

"I had a premonition." Ling Hao shook his head, his expression somewhat grave. "She said there was a layer of mist blocking her view."

"But it contains a large amount of fuel that we need, as well as various supplies."

"I have a feeling that there might be something strange here that is similar to the Lord's Mystery."

"Domain suppression has already begun to emerge."

"Let's go in and take a look," Cheng Jun said, walking into the factory area first. "Although we only have enough fuel left for half a month, there's no guarantee that we'll have fuel at the next stop."

"Moreover, we don't have many supplies, and we can only last for four or five days at most."

"I'm afraid it won't last until the next point."

"If we really encounter something strange, we can just deal with it the same way we did last time."

"Anyway, there's plenty of steel here."

At this point, he glanced at Su Mu and said, "Right, Su Mu?"

"Hmm." Su Mu nodded slightly, following Cheng Jun's side. "But I don't want to run into them again; it's just too dangerous."

"Haha." Cheng Jun chuckled. "Don't worry, I'll protect you."

Ling Hao followed behind the two with Nie Xiaoying, and An Xin and Yu Yao were at the very back.

An Xin's hairpin had transformed into a magic staff, ready to strike at any moment. Yu Yao was the same; streaks of azure wind blades swirled around her, and her gaze was sharp as an eagle's, alerting everyone to their surroundings.

Two minutes later, the six people had entered the abandoned factory area.

The moment they stepped inside, they felt the temperature drop considerably, as if enveloped by a chilling aura, making even breathing feel somewhat suffocating.

"Over there," Nie Xiaoying said softly, pointing in a direction, "there are trucks that haul oil!"

"An oil tanker?!" Cheng Jun's eyes widened in surprise, then he was overjoyed. "That's great! Let's go over there right away."

"Be careful," Ling Hao quickly warned. "I have a feeling something is watching us."

"I know." Cheng Jun nodded.

Su Mu drew the Flowing Light from his waist, which transformed in an instant into a Tang sword over a meter long. He carried it on his shoulder, ready to strike at any moment.

Ling Hao was right; he also sensed that something was watching them.

He used his resource sensing ability to discover that the oil tanker Nie Xiaoying mentioned was several hundred meters away, which was quite a distance.

The group of six hurried toward that direction.

A minute later, when they were still more than a hundred meters away from the tanker truck, a cold aura suddenly enveloped them, making their movements somewhat sluggish.

Ling Hao's face immediately turned pale. "This is bad. The strangeness here is the Lord's Strangeness."

"Let's run!"

But it was too late.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a strange creature nearly thirty meters tall suddenly rushed out of a huge factory workshop fifty or sixty meters in front of them.

Its body was like a condensed gray mist, without a specific shape. Sometimes it resembled a human, and sometimes it transformed into a beast. The only thing that remained unchanged was its pair of bloodthirsty and sinister eyes.

Like two blood-red lanterns, they emitted a captivating light.

For a moment, Su Mu and his six companions stood there like statues, motionless, their eyes vacant and blank, as if lost in an unconscious illusion.
