Doomsday Sequence Caravan: I Have a Mechanical Heart

Su Mu lowered his hand and watched Zhao Liang leave, feeling a surge of emotion.

This was the second person he had met with a pure mind. They always held a lofty red faith in their hearts and were unwilling to give up their beliefs even in such an era!

After loading the remaining supplies onto the vehicle, Su Mu and his companion left the town and headed east.

From this parting, the mountains are high and the roads are far, and we may never meet again!

Sitting in his car, Zhao Liang watched Su Mu's car drive away and sighed deeply, "I hope I wasn't mistaken, that light emanating from you really can burn away the darkness!"

far away

Chasing dreams, we sped across the wilderness, the car bumping along behind us, leaving trails of dust and smoke.

Su Mu drove while searching for the road leading east.

An Xin looked back at the middle row of seats, which was stuffed full of snakeskin bags and backpacks, and couldn't help but sigh, "Now we won't have to worry about food for a while."

"How long do you think you can eat this?"

"It will take at least a month and a half," Su Mu casually remarked without giving a precise estimate. He also had plenty of food in his storage space, including boxes of instant noodles and other similar items.

"Can the two of us eat that much?" An Xin was stunned, somewhat incredulous. "You can finish all this food in just a month and a half?"

"I was just guessing," Su Mu added. "Maybe it'll last for two months."

"Mmm," An Xin said contentedly, "but we need to prioritize eating things with short shelf lives, like bread and biscuits."

"Leave the canned goods for last."

"Then I'll leave this job to you," Su Mu said with a smile.

"Alright, I guarantee you'll be satisfied." An Xin said, then suddenly remembered something, "By the way, you absorbed all seven lord fragments, right?"

"It might awaken an even greater power within you."

"Six will do." Su Mu glanced at her. "You should absorb one too."

"Why are there six?" An Xin sensed something and was puzzled.

"Because after I absorb it," Su Mu pondered for a moment, then explained, "a portion of the energy from those fragments will be stored by me."

"Only after accumulating enough energy can I create what I want."

"What can you create after absorbing six?" An Xin asked curiously.

"We can manufacture mechanical armor," Su Mu added.

"Really?" An Xin's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this. "Is it like Iron Man's?"

"More or less." Su Mu hesitated for a moment, then explained, "However, it's not wrapped up that tightly; it only covers the legs, arms, and body."

"There's a start button on your chest; just tap it to use it."

"It will automatically extend and transform into mechanical armor."

"When not in use, it shrinks into a shield about the size of a palm at the chest."

"Really? That must look really cool." An Xin's eyes were full of anticipation. "I really can't wait to see what you look like wearing that mechanical armor."

"Well," Su Mu paused, then said with a smile, "I'm afraid you'll have to wait a while."

"Why?" An Xin asked, puzzled.

"Because the metal required for mechanical armor is very special," Su Mu explained. "It's not ordinary steel."

"It needs to be refined continuously with sequence energy until it reaches a certain level."

"My energy levels haven't recovered yet, so I can't support myself in completing a metal refining process. And each refining process will leave me in a weakened state for half an hour."

"I see." An Xin suddenly realized. "I was just wondering why you didn't use the materials to make one there when we left that town."

"How long will it take you to craft the mechanical armor?"

"Let me put it this way," Su Mu said after a moment of silence, "the deformed steel from a car, after undergoing three energy refinements..."

"We can get a piece of metal the size of a walnut."

"And it takes nine to forge the entire mechanical armor."

After listening, An Xin was somewhat annoyed. "Why is this thing so complicated?"

"If it's successfully crafted, and I wear it," Su Mu said with a smile, "my strength will immediately increase to a hundred times that of an ordinary person."

"Then it's worth it!" An Xin exclaimed in surprise. But after a moment of silence, she added, "But where are we going to find so much metal?"

"We'll encounter it eventually," Su Mu said calmly, "once we get back on the route to Falling Moon Valley."

"At least in the western part of Qingluo Sea, there is an abandoned city."

"How far are we from Qingluo Sea right now?" An Xin asked, looking at him.

"I can't be sure yet." Su Mu shook his head. "Once we see Tianlong Mountain, we'll only be about ten days away from Qingluo Sea."

"Where is Tianlong Mountain?" An Xin asked, puzzled.

"It's at the confluence of the great river where we fell, thousands of kilometers to the southeast," Su Mu pointed east, "roughly right in front of us."

"Once we see Tianlong Mountain, we need to go around to the north and head east."

"Okay." Seeing that Su Mu knew the route perfectly, An Xin felt relieved and said with a smile, "Then I'll leave the travel to you from now on."

"I'll manage the food and drinks; that's a perfect division of labor!"

Around 2 p.m., they finally found a road heading east and sped off towards it.

Into the night

After Su Mu and An Xin ate something simple, they went back to the trunk. They sat cross-legged facing each other, and Su Mu handed her a fragment of a domain, saying, "Let's absorb it together."

"Okay." An Xin nodded and took it.

Su Mu took out the remaining six and absorbed them one by one, and the energy value of his Mechanical Heart increased by a thousand thousand.

A dozen minutes later, it reached more than 10,500.

Just as he couldn't help but sigh, a powerful energy suddenly flowed back from the mechanical heart, rapidly transforming his physical body. Even his body began to faintly radiate a blue light.

An Xin had already absorbed the domain fragment, and her aura had become much stronger. She sat there watching Su Mu with great interest, as if she could never get enough of him, her eyes filled with sweetness!

With his eyes closed, Su Mu felt the changes within his body. The powerful energy flowed through every part of his body, constantly improving his bones, muscles, and even his internal organs.

Moreover, his personal space suddenly began to expand, quickly increasing from ten meters in length and width to twenty meters in diameter, quadrupling in size.

In this way, he can collect more things inside in the future; the extra space is enough to fit ten off-road vehicles.

After more than ten minutes, the blue light on his body gradually disappeared.

He opened his eyes, reached out and clenched his fist, feeling his own strength. He immediately discovered that it was more than twice as strong as it had been twenty times before.

In other words, his current strength is about forty or fifty times that of an ordinary person.

Then his explosive power and the power of his attacks will increase exponentially!
