Those who reincarnate must die.

After realizing that conventional attacks were ineffective, the Mechanical Empire quickly made a new decision. Accompanied by the whirring of machinery, the ground cracked open somewhere in the city, revealing a dark launch silo.

Soon, a huge missile was launched and flew towards the laboratory.

After realizing that the trouble was out of control, the artificial intelligence decided to launch a nuclear strike to eliminate the laboratory.

The nuclear missile detonated above the laboratory, and a huge ball of light instantly engulfed half of the mountain. The sky and earth trembled in an instant, and moments later, a mushroom cloud rolled in, leaving only a huge crater in the center of the thick smoke...

With the source of danger completely eliminated, the Mechanical Empire lifted the alarm, and everything returned to normal.

The Mechanical Empire has already conquered the world. In order to further its own evolution, they have established thousands of laboratories around the globe to conduct reverse engineering on humanity. A riot in a mere laboratory is a minor issue.

In the wasteland 100 kilometers to the east of the mushroom cloud, the people of the Twelve Altars were putting on their equipment.

Before the nuclear bombs struck, Xiao Mo successfully cracked the laboratory's system. The moment everyone escaped, Le Xinyi used the teleportation staff to send them here.

"Phew, that was close." Gazing at the mushroom cloud slowly rising from the distant mountain peaks, Lu Ren couldn't help but sigh, "Any later and we'd be nuked to death..."

"What's there to be afraid of!" Ye Peng laughed. "Even if a nuclear bomb falls, the captain can withstand it."

"But that would raise our threat level." Le Xinyi shook her head: "The Mechanical Empire is the official power in this world, so it's best not to attract too much of their attention."

"Speaking of which, I never expected Thunder to be a girl!" Mia, dressed and slinging her greatsword over her shoulder, exclaimed with a smile. "And such a beautiful older sister at that!"

The others also looked at Cheng Siyun, who had now donned the Thunder Armor and resumed her cold, electronic voice: "Women always need some secrets."

"Now we've seen each other completely honestly," Le Xinyi said with a smile as she walked over, glancing back at Zhang Lang. "But I reckon the sect leader already knew your identity."

Lei Ting turned and glanced at Zhang Lang, offering no comment.

"Let's focus on the next mission instead," Matsumoto Fumino said weakly, now wearing a gas mask. "Like, how to find the surviving humans."

"It's written in the data." Le Xinyi flipped through the information in the badge. "Recent intelligence shows that there are many human settlements scattered throughout this world, but most of them are small groups of dozens or hundreds of people. There are only three underground cities that are of a certain scale. However, the last mission failed, and the Shen Clan team sent here was completely wiped out, so it is impossible to determine whether these three cities still exist."

"There's one more." Zhang Lang pointed in a direction: "Three thousand three hundred kilometers in this direction, there is an underground city where about two hundred thousand people have survived."

Le Xinyi checked the map: "The surviving one is the second largest city, called Iron City!"

"Your detection abilities are that amazing?" Lu Ren asked in surprise. "You can sense underground cities from thousands of kilometers away?"

Everyone knows that Zhang Lang's abilities are abnormal, but they don't have a concrete idea of ​​just how strong they are.

"Can you locate the Eighth Altar and the location of the Ugly Clan?" Ye Peng asked.

Zhang Lang nodded: "I'm about to go. Le Xinyi, you use the teleportation staff to take them to the human city first, I'll go and meet the Ugly Clan."

"Be extremely careful," Yue Xinyi said worriedly. "Don't forget last time, the higher races paid close attention to you. They may have guessed that you would appear in this world, and there might be some kind of trap."

"I understand." Zhang Lang nodded. "I won't act rashly; I'll assess the situation first."

After saying that, he took off and flew in another direction.

Zhang Lang's explosive power is enough to cover the entire globe, but the attack power of explosive power leaving the body is still several orders of magnitude weaker than his own strength. He can kill ordinary soldiers from a distance, but the fifth altar of the Ugly Clan must have top experts. He is not confident that he can crush them all from half the earth. In order to avoid alerting them, he should secretly go and see the situation.

Having evaded the mechanical empire's aerial detection at extremely high speed, and after traversing tens of thousands of kilometers in an instant, Zhang Lang began to slow down, using his explosive power to conceal his aura, and slowly approached, eventually arriving above a laboratory.

The reincarnators of the Ugly Clan were imprisoned in this laboratory. Like the Shen Clan, they were placed in test tubes with tubes inserted all over their bodies upon entry. Without Zhang Lang's abnormal abilities, it was difficult for them to escape quickly.

Clearly, they are waiting for the right moment and intend to complete the task using conventional methods.

A fully staffed altar for thirty-six people? Beng Jin swept his gaze across the thirty-six test tubes in the center of the laboratory, wondering whether he should just kill them all here.

These ugly people seem unprepared, so now is the best time to take them out. With the Beng Jin enveloping them, there's no need to worry about them escaping using petty tricks.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lang's eyes widened, and he decisively rushed into the laboratory, rushing into the center with lightning speed, scanning all the test tubes like a phantom.

brush!

All the test tubes were cut in half, and the ugly creatures inside were all torn to pieces, their bodies mangled beyond recognition.

Having successfully killed all the enemies, Zhang Lang showed no sign of joy on his face.

It doesn't feel right! It's too fragile!

The physical strength of these ugly people is nothing like that of a hero-level reincarnator; they are only slightly stronger than ordinary flesh and blood!

Is it a substitute? No, the collapsing force did scan the physical body. This is definitely not a substitute created by a skill. It is a real body that was prepared in advance... This is obviously a preparation made against his own abilities. The other party knows that he has come to this world. Obviously, this is a trap.

Zhang Lang decisively rushed out of the laboratory, and the burst of energy dissipated.

If the other party used a fake body to deceive him, then what about the real body? Impossible! His explosive force has already swept across the entire world; the other party's real body couldn't possibly be hidden!

Just as Zhang Lang was wondering, countless points of light appeared faintly in the dim clouds. Then, the clouds began to churn, and nuclear warheads pierced through the clouds. Those points of light were the exhaust flames from the missile nozzles!

"This number!" Zhang Lang was not surprised by the scale of the nuclear salvo. Having experienced interstellar warfare missions, this level of attack was just a small-scale skirmish.

What truly shocked him was the information hidden behind this number.

He escaped from that lab, hacked the system, and slaughtered an entire army, a process that took him about half an hour before finally attracting a nuclear bomb.

This time, the raid on the laboratory and the killing took less than a minute, yet it triggered such a large-scale nuclear strike.

This indicates that the previous attack was merely a normal defensive mechanism, while this one was a targeted attack!
