“Let’s go.” Caul took heavy steps toward the desolate, rust-covered ruins of the lava city, which had stood for millennia.

Yuan Zhu followed closely behind Kaul, looking around warily.

He could sense malicious gazes lurking in the shadows, watching them.

But we can't find it! Where is the enemy hiding?!

The players followed suit and began exploring the new dungeon.

…………

clatter! clatter! clatter!

The archaeological team moved very quickly.

The sound of boots hitting the ground echoed through the empty buildings.

No trace of civilization can be seen in Lava City anymore.

Everywhere you look, there are rusty buildings and giant robotic arms.

Huge vehicles lay overturned on both sides of the abandoned road.

Players traverse the desolate city, soon approaching a still-active volcano.

Based on the information provided by Xiling and the analysis of the reconstructed model, the player learned that...

The core control room of the former Lava City was located inside the volcano.

Guided by Xiling, they found a tunnel leading into the volcano.

Shortly after entering, the data transmitted back by several reconnaissance servo skulls flying ahead caught the attention of the veteran pilots.

Strange signals are moving toward their location.

"Something's up. Prepare for battle."

The veteran told everyone to stop.

The anomalous data was forwarded to other people's data, including those of Kaul and First Casting.

"Is it finally time to grind monsters?"

"I thought this was a parkour map!! I walked so far and didn't find a single monster. Turns out it's all here."

"Be prepared and ensure the safety of the two scholars."

"........."

Players who are working with veterans and those who are reckless in this mission,

In reality, they are all top-tier elites.

As soon as the veteran gave the order, they dispersed according to the tactical formation.

Hiding behind cover,

Forming crossfire points.

These players all made their game reservations in unison after receiving orders from their superiors.

After obtaining a beta test slot, I joined the University of Tokyo Research Institute upon entering the game.

The University of Tokyo Research Institute, while not among the top-ranked institutions in the gaming community,

But though small, the sparrow has all the vital organs.

It is highly likely to become the first player faction to achieve comprehensive development without any weaknesses.

The sound in the darkness grew louder and louder.

Soon, the first enemy appeared in front of the player.

That was a pathetic machine slave, a mixture of machinery and flesh.

The modifications on its body were clearly a failure; its flesh and blood rotted from radiation, making it look exceptionally grotesque and terrifying.

“Wild machine servants?” Caul was taken aback. “How did they end up here?”

The success rate of servo surgery is very high, but there are also cases of failure.

Those servants that suffer irreparable damage or experimental subjects whose modification surgeries fail are abandoned and thrown into the wilderness.

The Martian wilderness is filled with toxins and ash.

Most of the abandoned servants will die, but some will survive.

Unable to obtain food and energy, they will instinctively gather together.

They attacked the Mechanicus's stronghold and workers, and survived by cannibalizing corpses and absorbing electric current.

A wild servant emerged from the darkness.

Then came the second head, the third head, and so on.

Their numbers were so exaggerated that they filled the entire passage like a tide.

"Take care of them!" the veteran shouted.

Players hiding in various locations opened fire, the dense barrage of bullets forming a net of fire that instantly tore apart the bodies of the mechs.

Before long, the corridor was littered with mangled corpses and metal prosthetics.

Kaur went up and scanned the wreckage, looking for clues.

He quickly noticed something amiss.

"Something's not right with these servants; they seem to have been modified!"

“Deep within the ruins, there is probably something that has drawn them from all over the world, then modified them and used them as tools.”

Unfortunately, the remains of the dead could not provide any further clues.

They could only continue exploring deeper.

Several more fierce battles took place along the way.

The enemies encountered are still mechs, but players can clearly feel that the deeper they go, the stronger the mechs become, and the better their weapons become.

After another battle, they arrived at the underground core of the former lava city.

And at this time,

A group of bloodless, intelligent robots appeared and blocked their path.

This left Kaul and the players stunned.

Why are there robots in the Lava City ruins?

At that moment, an intelligent robot stepped out and began to speak.

“You have trespassed on our territory, organisms.”

P.S.: Sorry, I was busy until late tonight.

Let's not vote for now; I need to pay off my debts first.

Chapter 189 This glory, I will not keep to myself.

The robot that appeared before the veterans and spoke was humanoid.

It looks a bit like a skinless Terminator, its entire body made of black metal.

A special blaster gun was held on the skeletal, mechanical wrist.

Its eyes were hollowed out, radiating a faint glow of energy, making no attempt to conceal its naked malice.

Behind it are alien robots, such as scorpion-shaped or canine-shaped ones.

Further away, there stood many fighter soldiers with tracks implanted in their lower bodies and various weapons and scanning arrays installed on their upper bodies.

"Logical error. This area belongs to Mars and is inhabited by humans."

Kaur was the first to react and spoke up to refute the robot.

“You are just as greedy as your ancestors,” the robot said. “You claim everything within your sight as your own, and then use that as an excuse to wage war.”

"Aren't you the same? You've seized this place and then claimed we're the invaders," the veteran retorted.

As a high-quality gamer, you must be skilled at arguing and fighting to protect your parents.

The robot fell silent after being struck by those words, and only spoke again after a moment.

"No matter what, this place belongs to us. Leave immediately and promise never to come back, or we will launch an attack."

“No, this place belongs to the Mechanicus, to the Empire, but not to you.”

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

As Kaul refuted the question, he scanned the robot in front of him.

"Why ask when you already know the answer? I am the very thing you call the abhorrent intelligence."

“Abomination of Intelligence, what a blasphemous and wicked name! Compared to your ancestors, you have no respect for us.”

The robot's voice had distinct inflections.

It's obvious that an emotion module has been installed, capable of simulating human emotions like joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

"That's your own fault; you've betrayed humanity."

The veteran shouted,

"Humanity's first empire fell because of the wars you started, and you should have been completely destroyed."

"Put down your weapons, or you will become a pile of sparking wreckage and garbage."

"Organic, are you threatening us?" the robot responded angrily.

"This is not a threat, it's a notification. Lay down your weapons immediately, or we will open fire and turn you to pieces."

The veteran activated the various weapons implanted within his body.

Guns of all sizes were activated, their muzzles flashing with energy as they were pointed at the robots.

The robots also reacted quickly.

The situation suddenly became extremely tense.

"Perhaps we should all have a calm and rational discussion."

The robot's attitude softened.

"Going to war would not benefit either of us."

The experienced person was just about to ask the other party how they planned to negotiate.

Suddenly, Caul spoke up.

“Something’s not right. The data network has been compromised. A mysterious force is trying to tamper with the codes of the servants and the Guardians in an attempt to gain control.”

"These guys are stalling for time so their masters can use cyber intrusion to eliminate us." Wu Mou immediately understood the whole story.

These intelligent machines weren't trying to communicate with them at all; they were just trying to buy time.

The experienced pilot made a decisive decision: "Fire! Take them out first."

Then, he pulled the trigger of the molten steel gun in his hand, its muzzle flashing a scorching red light.

He fired at the humanoid robot in front of him.

The scorching beam of light made a sharp cracking sound in the air before piercing through the opponent's body, leaving a wound that glowed red due to the heat.

A hint of human-like astonishment flickered across the robot's metallic face; it hadn't expected these humans to be so decisive.

The next second, it was finished off by the veteran's finishing shot.

The robots quickly launched a counterattack.

A fierce battle broke out between the two sides.

The player's weapons and tactics are far superior to the robot's.

After making some sacrifices, the veteran team still managed to annihilate all the robots, destroying them all.
