Doomsday Sequence Caravan: I Have a Mechanical Heart

After firing more than a hundred bullets, Su Mu also stopped.

The real culprit hasn't appeared yet, but these wandering tricks alone are enough to wear them down.

So he decided to take a break and go back to his personal space to develop.

"Come on, don't resist." Su Mu said, reaching out to take An Xin's hand.

"Okay." An Xin understood what Su Mu meant and nodded.

The next moment, the two figures disappeared and entered Su Mu's personal space.

The wandering monsters immediately lost their target and began to wander aimlessly.

A slight fluctuation appeared in that domain, as if it were searching for Su Mu and the other person's whereabouts, but after searching around, it could not find them.

Gradually, that domain fell silent, as if it had never existed.

The Dream Chaser remained quietly at a distance of over two hundred meters, unmoved by the howling wind.

But after a short while, rust spots began to appear on the originally bronze-colored car body, and in less than a minute, it turned into a car that had been abandoned for a long time.

The car windows were very blurry, and you couldn't see what was inside.

The four wheels spun a few times in place, and soon all four wheels were half-buried in the soil. In this way, it looked more like a car that had been abandoned for a long time.

It made no further movements, as if it were asleep.

In the Shepherd's personal space

He and An Xin sat on several cardboard boxes, recovering their energy.

An Xin looked at the dozen or so iron pillars. "Is this steel enough for you to forge a mechanical armor?"

"We won't use them all," Su Mu said calmly. "Nine will be enough."

"The rest is food for Liuguang. After it finishes eating this, it should be able to advance to the Xuan rank."

An Xin nodded, feeling much more relieved.

"But we're going to stay here for a few days," Su Mu said, looking at An Xin.

"It's alright," An Xin shook her head and said with a smile, "There's food and drink here, just consider it a few days of rest."

"If I get bored, I'll go look at those vegetables."

"There's no water here." Su Mu suddenly realized something, and his expression changed slightly. "I only brought in some food."

"Huh?!?!" An Xin was startled and quickly turned her head to look. She saw boxes of instant noodles, sausages and the like piled up there, but no water.

There wasn't even a can of water. She frowned slightly.

"What should we do? Without water, we might not last three days."

Su Mu pondered for a moment, thinking of the vegetables. He glanced over there and saw that the small green vegetables were already six or seven centimeters tall. They would be ready to eat in another week.

"If all else fails, pick some tender vegetable leaves and squeeze out some juice to drink."

"Yes, that's right." An Xin's eyes lit up. "These vegetables need water to grow, right?"

"And the land is damp, so there must be water underneath."

"I've got an idea."

"What method?" Su Mu asked curiously.

"Are there any clean plastic sheets here?" An Xin asked.

"Go check if there's any in the instant noodle box." Su Mu got up and walked towards it.

"There aren't any instant noodles in the box." An Xin shook her head and followed, then saw a large cardboard box in the corner, her eyes lighting up with joy, "There are rice crackers here, great!"

"There were clean, large plastic bags in the rice crust box."

"How did you know?" Su Mu looked at her in surprise.

"I used to buy snacks online all the time," Anxin explained, "and I'd buy a whole box at a time."

As she spoke, she tore open the large cardboard box and pulled out a big bag of rice crackers. "Look."

"That's true." Su Mu raised an eyebrow and nodded.

"Oh, and could you take a bowl out of that cup of instant noodles?" An Xin said, as she poured out the rice crusts from the bag.

Su Mu took out two buckets of noodles, cleaned one of them, and handed it to An Xin.

"Take the shovel." An Xin took it and added, "And find me four small sticks too."

"Four little sticks?" Upon hearing this, Su Mu had already guessed what it meant.

After the two had prepared their things, they came to an open space. An Xin looked at Su Mu and said, "Dig a pit the size of a washbasin here."

He even gestured as he spoke.

"Are you planning to collect water vapor from the soil?" Su Mu asked as he dug.

"Not bad." An Xin nodded. "Although the collection might be a bit slow, it should be enough for us to drink."

A few minutes later.

After digging a round pit about 40 to 50 centimeters in size, An Xin planted the four iron rods in the surrounding soil and then tied the neatly arranged plastic sheeting on top of them.

After doing all that, she placed a small clod of earth in the middle of the plastic sheet, making it hang down in an inverted triangle shape.

Finally, the instant noodle bucket was placed at the bottom of the pit, directly opposite the center of the plastic sheet.

After finishing, An Xin looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction. "Alright, let's see in a bit whether any water droplets appear."

Su Mu responded, also showing some anticipation.

In the blink of an eye, more than an hour had passed, and the energy of the mechanical heart within him had been fully restored. He then reached out and placed his hand on one of the iron pillars, beginning his first refinement.

Soon, a blue flame appeared on the iron pillar, leaping about like a happy Smurf.

Under the scorching blue flames, the iron pillar began to gradually shrink.

half an hour later

Su Mu had almost exhausted the energy of the mechanical heart within his body before he withdrew his hand, his face also becoming much paler.

The iron pillar in front of him was only half its original size, and it emitted a faint blue light, giving it a very futuristic look.

He took a deep breath, calmed the energy fluctuations within his body, and was about to turn around and find a place to sit down and rest.

An Xin had already come to his side, reaching out to support him, her eyes full of concern, "You must be exhausted."

"It's alright." Su Mu smiled faintly. "By the way, how's your water collection going?"

"It's already covering the bottom of the bowl," An Xin said quickly. "Do you want some? I'll bring it to you."

"No need," Su Mu waved his hand. "Let's save them for now."

"Okay, just tell me if you're thirsty," An Xin agreed.

Su Mu sat down to recover when he suddenly heard An Xin ask, "There's no sun here, won't it get dark?"

"No," Su Mu shook his head. "There's no night here. If you're sleepy or tired..."

"Let's just rest."

"Okay," An Xin said, standing up and walking towards the corner. "You rest first, I'll go unpack a few more cardboard boxes and lay them on the ground."

"It won't get cold sleeping like this!"

The two of them lived there like that, and before they knew it, another two days had passed.

Su Mu refined the water every day, while An Xin focused on collecting water resources.

After consuming the three iron pillars, the light finally changed, and pale golden patterns began to appear on its surface.
