Doomsday Sequence Caravan: I Have a Mechanical Heart

Ling Hao returned to his room a moment later, and Song Weiwei came in. "How did it go?"

"I've already made him temporarily give up the idea of ​​getting the domain fragments." Ling Hao said, recounting the previous scene to Song Weiwei.

After hearing this, Song Weiwei couldn't help but smile. "I didn't expect you to come up with such an idea."

"That's a good idea."

"I also told him not to back down if he encounters the Lord's Deception again," Ling Hao continued, "but whether he listens or not is up to him."

"Okay." Song Weiwei's mood improved a lot. "By the way, aren't you going to scout out a safe route later? Take me with you."

"Okay," Ling Hao replied.

Su Mu's Room

After the two finished breakfast, An Xin remembered something, stood up and said, "Oh right, I'm going to talk to Yao Yao."

"Why would you want to see her?" Su Mu asked, puzzled.

"I had a nightmare yesterday, she must have been so worried." An Xin walked outside. "I had to tell her, and then I stopped having nightmares."

"I'll go with you." Su Mu followed her out. "After we get to her place, we'll go find Ling Hao."

The two arrived at Yuyao's room and found her leaning against the headboard, looking exhausted, with swollen eyes and dark circles under her eyes, as if she hadn't slept all night.

"Yao Yao." An Xin's eyes flashed with worry when she saw her like this, and she quickly came to the bedside. "What's wrong?"

"I'm fine." Yu Yao looked at An Xin and forced a smile. "I just didn't get enough rest yesterday."

"Have you had breakfast?" An Xin felt a little relieved.

"Not yet," Yu Yao shook her head. "I'm not hungry."

"I'm going to sleep a little longer."

"Then you should get some rest." An Xin nodded in agreement. "Mu Ge and I are going out to sea to find a safe route."

"Go ahead, be careful." Yu Yao nodded gently.

After Su Mu and An Xin left Yu Yao's place, An Xin glanced at Su Mu and said, "I feel like Yao Yao is acting a little strange."

"Maybe she hasn't rested well." Su Mu also had a feeling that way. Yu Yao's tone was noticeably distant from An Xin's just now. But he didn't want to tell An Xin, otherwise she would worry.

It was obvious that Yuyao was hiding something on her mind, something she didn't want to say, and no one could get it out of her.

Rather than doing that, it's better to pretend you don't know.

The two arrived at Ling Hao's room and saw him chatting with Song Weiwei. The two were having a pleasant conversation, and Su Mu was even a little reluctant to interrupt.

But before he could say anything, the two men saw their arrival, stood up, and said, "Let's set off now."

The four of them went up to the deck. Ling Hao glanced at Zhu Meng and asked Su Mu, "Shall we get on now, or...?"

"Now get on," Su Mu said, mentally transforming the Dream Chaser into a small boat, "and then let it carry us down."

Soon, the Dream Chaser transformed into a small boat seven or eight meters long, and Su Mu and the other three jumped onto it one after another.

Then, Zhu Meng led them directly from the deck into the sea. With a bang, a huge wave splashed up, and many water droplets landed on the four of them.

"You let us take a shower first thing in the morning?" Ling Hao looked at Su Mu, somewhat speechless. "If I had known, I would have just jumped off that deck."

"Haha, you have the power of fire, just dry the clothes." Su Mu said with a smile, "Enough with the chit-chat, let's get down to business."

"You," Ling Hao shook his head, and soon his and Song Weiwei's clothes were dry. Song Weiwei also helped An Xin dry her clothes.

"I'll steer the boat, you keep an eye on the reefs below," Su Mu said, looking at him.

"Okay." Ling Hao came to the bow of the ship, looking at the reefs in the sea while directing Su Mu to change direction. He also memorized the areas without reefs.

While assisting Ling Hao in scouting the route, Su Mu also chatted with Zhu Meng in his mind, "Zhu Meng, after you swallowed that Black Abyss Stone, did anything change?"

"Yes, I am now a Xuan-rank artifact." Zhu Meng's voice carried a hint of pride.

"What are the specific changes?" Su Mu was delighted and then asked.

"What other changes does Master want me to undergo?" Zhu Meng asked after a moment of silence.

"..." Su Mu was speechless for a moment. "When Liu Guang became a Xuan-rank, at least it looked much cooler, and its power also increased."

"You have nothing, what use is it for you to advance to the Profound Rank?"

"I... I can get bigger!" Zhu Meng quickly said. "The barrier can cover an even larger area."

"Can it fly?" Su Mu asked himself.

"No." Zhu Meng's voice carried a hint of embarrassment. "I can only fly after I advance to the Heavenly Rank."

"?" Upon hearing this, Su Mu's eyes lit up with joy. He had only asked casually, but he hadn't expected that Dream Chaser could actually fly. That was wonderful.

"But, but I need to devour more Black Abyss Stones." Zhu Meng realized Su Mu's thoughts and quickly said.

"Hmm." Su Mu responded casually, "Once my strength improves in the future, getting you Black Abyss Stones won't be difficult at all."

As he was having this internal conversation with Zhu Meng, An Xin reached out and waved her hand in front of his face. "Brother Mu, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Su Mu looked at her with surprise.

"Then why didn't you hear me when I called you?" An Xin pouted, somewhat dissatisfied.

"I was probably just focused on waiting for Ling Hao's command," Su Mu chuckled and said casually. "What did you call me for?"

"I just saw some steps on the seabed," An Xin pointed, "so I wanted to show them to you."

"Steps?" Su Mu raised an eyebrow, a strange light flashing in his eyes. "Really?"

"I saw it too." Song Weiwei looked at Su Mu and said seriously, "It's one of those stone steps for climbing mountains."

"???" Su Mu was even more confused, turning to look at Ling Hao, "Did you see that?"

"No." Ling Hao looked at Song Weiwei. "Where is she?"

"It's over there." An Xin and Song Weiwei pointed to the sea not far to their left.

Su Mu directed the Dream Chaser to drive over, and soon he saw the stone steps An Xin had mentioned. They were located seven or eight meters deep on the seabed, about several tens of meters long, and covered with seaweed.

"This?" Su Mu was stunned. "Could this island have been a mountain before?"

"Look over there." Ling Hao had the same guess, and having discovered something, he pointed to the sea in front of him.

"Mountain road iron chains!!" Su Mu was startled again.

"It seems this place used to be a really big mountain," Ling Hao said with a shocked expression.

"Well, if that's really the case," Su Mu looked at Ling Hao, "when we get back, have Xiao Ying see what this place used to be."

"Okay," Ling Hao replied.
