Doomsday Sequence Caravan: I Have a Mechanical Heart

Yu Yao got out of the RV and watched from afar as Cheng Jun carved a line of words on the cliff: "Su Mu, there's a garbage dump a thousand kilometers ahead. Remember to detour south after leaving the canyon!"

Below is a date line that says tomorrow.

She turned her gaze away, leaned against the RV, looked at the distant sky, and murmured softly, "Xinxin, where are you?"

"I miss you so much!"

Two days passed in a flash.

When Su Mu and An Xin drove through this area, it was already sunset, and a faint gray mist had begun to appear in the valleys on both sides of the road. Therefore, they missed the words Cheng Jun had left on the cliff.

An Xin sat in the passenger seat, looking ahead, and couldn't help but sigh, "Another day has passed."

"We're one day closer to meeting Yuyao and the others!"

Before we knew it, it was the morning of the third day.

Su Mu and his companion arrived at the open-air garbage dump that Ling Hao had mentioned, and it was indeed enormous. Countless piles of garbage were stacked together, resembling small mountains that stretched as far as the eye could see.

Amidst those mountains of garbage, wandering creatures drifted about, like scavengers, their heads bowed as if searching for something.

The road Su Mu and his group were traveling on ran right through the entire garbage dump, so they had to deal with those strange things to get through.

Su Mu slowed down and parked the car a couple hundred meters away from the garbage dump, looking into the depths of the dump from afar.

"Why are there so many wandering monsters here?" An Xin frowned, her expression becoming more serious. "And it doesn't look like they've been here before."

"What if they didn't go this way and went somewhere else?"

"I feel the same way." Su Mu nodded and slowly said, "But if they didn't come here, where would they go?"

"Perhaps we should take a detour," An Xin suggested, looking at Su Mu. "I have a feeling there might be a lord's scheme here!"

"Hmm." Su Mu nodded slightly, then noticed something and added, "There's a lot of scrap steel here."

"Wait for me in the car for a while, I'll go collect some."

"I'll go with you," An Xin said.

"No need." Su Mu waved his hand. "It's too dirty there. I'll just wander around here."

"I'll be back in a bit."

"Okay, be careful." An Xin didn't insist any further, just gave a word of advice.

After getting out of the car, Su Mu ran straight towards a mountain of garbage. At the foot of the garbage mountain were piles of old cars and other scrap metal.

Soon, he arrived there, looked around, and seeing that there were no wandering monsters nearby, he reached out and placed his hand on the frame of one of the rusty cars.

With a flash of blue light, it almost instantly covered the frames of more than a dozen cars.

The frames began to deform rapidly, coalescing into metal pillars as thick as a person and seven or eight meters long.

A dozen seconds later, five metal pillars appeared there.

But that wasn't enough. After storing it in his personal space, he continued to search for metal and transformed it into a metal pillar.

Before we knew it, two or three minutes had passed.

He also put a dozen or so metal pillars into his personal space. Feeling that was enough, he turned around and prepared to go back.

But then they discovered that the car in the distance had disappeared.

Su Mu's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly looked around, but in the vast wilderness, there was no sign of Zhu Meng and An Xin.

Moreover, An Xin couldn't even start the Dream Chaser.

Only then did he realize that he had unknowingly entered the domain of the Lord's Deception.

With a thought, he quickly sensed the location of Zhu Meng and discovered that Zhu Meng seemed to be in a very far place, and it seemed to be getting farther and farther away.

Su Mu narrowed his eyes, pulled himself out of his thoughts, looked into the depths of the junkyard, and muttered to himself, "This is setting me up to face the Lord's Deception on my own."

If he were wearing that mechanical armor now, or if An Xin were by his side, he would have some confidence in dealing with that Lord's Deception.

But the reality is that he doesn't have mechanical armor, and An Xin isn't by his side.

After some thought, he decided to enter his personal space and craft the mechanical armor first. Although it would take a considerable amount of time, it would also be safer that way.

An Xin, who is outside, is probably going to be worried about him for days.

Just as he was about to enter his personal space, he suddenly sensed something and quickly turned his head to look.

Then, streaks of white light appeared in the western sky; these were An Xin's Dawn Punishment.

Then he saw An Xin's figure appear in mid-air a hundred meters away, but he did not see Zhu Meng.

In other words, An Xin also entered the domain of this Lord's Ghost. And it's very likely that the Lord's Ghost deliberately let her in.

An Xin's eyes lit up when she saw Su Mu, and she quickly appeared in front of him. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Su Mu shook his head, his expression somewhat grave. "Looks like we're going to have another big battle."

"I'll take you flying out." An Xin glanced at the depths of the junkyard, then took Su Mu's arm and flew outwards.

No matter how she flew, she couldn't escape this area, as if there was endless space ahead. Moreover, they were always less than a hundred meters away from the garbage mountain.

"Stop flying, An Xin," Su Mu stopped An Xin. "We're already trapped here."

An Xin responded and led Su Mu back to the ground. "In that case, let's kill the lord of this place, Gui."

"They're probably going to be tough to deal with." Su Mu looked into the depths of the garbage mountain and noticed that a large number of wandering monsters were beginning to surge towards them.

"Those wandering tricks alone are quite troublesome."

But after saying that, he took out the Flowing Light and transformed it into a Gatling gun, holding it in his hand.

"I can also use Arrow Rain to attack." An Xin raised her left hand, and the Bow of Light appeared.

"Is it very energy-consuming?" Su Mu asked.

"Not much." An Xin shook her head. "With my current strength, I can easily use it a dozen or twenty times."

"Alright then." Su Mu nodded. "However, you still need to conserve some strength in case the Lord's Deception suddenly appears."

"I know," An Xin replied.

As the hundreds or even thousands of wandering monsters drew closer, Su Mu said nothing more and began firing wildly with his Gatling gun.

Bullets flew past like a torrential rain; although their power was considerable, they were suppressed by the force of the attack.

When the fire struck those wandering monsters, it only created fist-sized blue fire holes. Moreover, those fire holes only lasted for a few seconds before automatically extinguishing.

Therefore, after firing hundreds of bullets, they only managed to kill a dozen or so wandering monsters.

This is a far cry from the previous number of casualties, demonstrating the immense influence of this field.

An Xin unleashed seven or eight arrow volleys in succession, but killed fewer than expected, only twenty or thirty. Her expression grew extremely grave.

"Su Mu, if this continues, our strength will be exhausted before we can kill those wandering monsters."
