Doomsday Sequence Caravan: I Have a Mechanical Heart

"Yes!" Zhu Meng answered confidently.

"Then how will you assimilate?" Su Mu asked, his expression brightening with delight.

"Master only needs to place this bone there," the voice of Dream Chaser rang out. "That way, I can gradually envelop it within my body."

"Then they gradually assimilate."

"How long will it take?" Su Mu asked again, as if remembering something.

"It could take one or two days, or three to five days at most." Zhu Meng remained silent for a while before his voice rang out again.

Su Mu nodded, said nothing more, and placed the white bone under the car window. In just a moment, it was gradually enveloped by Zhu Meng and disappeared.

He stopped thinking about it, glanced at the sleeping An Xin, and took out the five domain fragments to begin absorbing them.

Soon, the mechanical heart's energy value rose to 18,000.

"Three thousand more is needed." Su Mu looked at the blueprints in his mind and set his sights on a particle energy cannon that required 21,000 energy points to manufacture.

It's not very big; if it were made, it could be attached to protective armor.

As for the power of the attack, as mentioned above, a single shot can kill an early-stage Lord-level monster. However, the energy consumption is also extremely high; one shot can drain 10,000 of its energy.

In other words, once it's built, with his current capabilities, he can only fire two shots at most.

Nevertheless, he was still full of anticipation.

If we had such a particle energy cannon, killing Lords would be much easier in the future.

With his hands behind his head, Su Mu drifted off to sleep as he pondered these thoughts.

A peaceful night

As soon as Su Mu opened his eyes in the early morning, he saw An Xin nestled against his chest, looking at him with a charming smile. "You're awake."

"How did you sleep?" Su Mu replied, asking with a gentle smile.

"Mmm!" An Xin nodded repeatedly, then frowned and said in a pitiful voice, "I'm just hungry, I want to eat something."

"Wait here." Su Mu sat up. "Go to the front first, then I'll get you some food."

"Okay!" An Xin swayed happily, her smile innocent, like a little girl of a few years old. She skipped and hopped after Su Mu out of the car. "Su Mu, I want to eat chocolate?"

"Okay." Su Mu looked at her affectionately, led her to the passenger seat, and then got into the car.

He took some bread and chocolates from his backpack in the back and handed them to An Xin, saying, "Eat up."

"You eat first." An Xin tore open a piece of bread and held it to his mouth.

He reached out and touched An Xin's hair, saying softly, "It's okay, you eat."

"You take a bite first, then I'll eat," An Xin said, pouting, but insisting on it.

"Okay." Su Mu couldn't help but smile upon hearing this, and then took a bite.

Seeing this, An Xin happily began to eat.

Su Mu ate a couple of bites and then drove on his way.

Along the way, Anxin was like a happy little bird, chirping and laughing non-stop, exclaiming "Wow!" at everything she saw!

It was as if the whole world was new and exciting to her.

No matter what she asked, Su Mu would answer seriously without the slightest impatience.

Three days later, Su Mu saw that apart from her intelligence reverting to that of a child, she showed no other abnormalities, which put his mind at ease.

During his lunch break, he took out an iron pillar, placed it on the ground, and began to refine the energy of the mechanical heart.

His Mechanical Heart now has an energy value of 18,000, and each refinement only requires 10,000. Although each refinement consumes a lot of energy, he no longer feels the weakness he had before.

Moreover, the refining speed is much faster than before; now it only takes about ten minutes to refine once.

In the blink of an eye, several more days have passed.

During the break, Su Mu refined a total of five Blue Radiance Star Gold.

He took out two and placed them on the six-pointed star in front of his chest. After being enveloped by a blue light, the two blue-glowing gold stars quickly merged into the six-pointed star.

The damaged armor was also reforged by him and restored to its original condition.

He put it on, examined it carefully, and only felt relieved when he saw that there were no more cracks. He couldn't help but sigh, "It seems I'll have to refine more Blue Star Gold in the future, just in case."

Although this protective armor has the potential to grow, it requires even stronger energy to refine it; at least it will take until his Mechanical Heart reaches level three.

After putting away the armor, he took out a Blue Star Gold and made a bracelet for An Xin, which had a blue phoenix pattern on it.

"Do you like it?" Su Mu asked, handing the bracelet to An Xin.

"Wow!!" An Xin took it with sparkling eyes, excitedly waving her arms and legs. "I love it! I love it! It's so beautiful!"

"You still remember?"

"Of course I remember." Su Mu nodded. "Try it on."

"Mmm-hmm," An Xin readily agreed, putting the bracelet on her left wrist. It accentuated her fair, jade-like skin, making her look even more stunning. She waved her hand, laughing uncontrollably, "Haha, so beautiful!"

"Thank you, Su Mu!"

"As long as you like it." Su Mu was also very happy to see her so happy.

Qingluo Haixi

On the plateau highway 30 kilometers away

Cheng Jun stood by the car, gazing at the boundless sea to the east. "Ling Hao, where do you think Su Mu and the others are?"

"I don't know." Ling Hao shook his head and said slowly, "But I believe what Xiao Ying said."

"Fine." Cheng Jun pouted. Ling Hao always answered this way whenever he asked this question.

"Once we reach that ruined city ahead," Ling Hao said again, "we'll find a boat first."

"After we find the boat, we will stay on the beach for three days to inquire about the whereabouts of Su Mu and his group."

"Okay." Cheng Jun nodded slightly.

Just as Ling Hao was about to say something, Nie Xiaoying got out of the car, her voice somewhat anxious, "Captain, we may need to hurry on our way."

"Several convoys are about to arrive at that ruined city."

"Okay." Ling Hao nodded, turned to Cheng Jun, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, let's get going."

Cheng Jun responded, glancing at Ling Hao's retreating figure, feeling that the guy was hiding something from him.

On the highway more than a thousand kilometers to the west

Su Mu drove the car, with An Xin in tow, speeding towards the ruined city.

During his break, he had forged the two Blue Star Gold pieces into wings and attached them to his protective armor. However, his attempt to fly failed, and he nearly fell flat on his face.

This puzzled him greatly; both had wings, yet An Xin could fly with ease.

Although his wings could flap and create wind, he just couldn't fly, like a hen flapping its wings.

As he drove, he pondered what was going on. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, and immediately slammed on the gas pedal, increasing the power output and significantly accelerating the car.

The next moment, a rocket exploded violently behind his car!
