212: Civilizations from Other Worlds

Ran Quan sat on the armor at the edge of the combat vehicle, looking around; it was desolate, with no signs of life, and not many ruins, offering a wide-open view.

Looking out, it was empty... giving a sense of loneliness, but thankfully, he wasn't alone; otherwise, he felt his sanity would constantly drop.

And just as Ran Quan and his team advanced with an uneasy premonition, the combat vehicle carrying the robot remains had already arrived at the headquarters of Frontier Technology.

All the robot remains were sent into the research area.

After various tests.

They discovered a terrifying fact.

That is, these robots were standardized robots produced on an “assembly line”!

Judging by the structure of the robots and the materials used, it was clear that their technology did not belong to this world!

"Things are serious! Report it immediately!" Old Jiang muttered to himself. These robots were clearly not coming with good intentions! And they also had a very probable direction for speculation, which was...

These robots were "scouts"!

In other words, they were the Vanguard Army used for reconnaissance by the world where these robots originated!

As soon as the research lab reported these circumstances and speculations.

The higher-ups immediately convened a "Three-Party Emergency Meeting," where the leaders of Frontier Technology, Military Technology, and Wild Oddity Technology held discussions.

As soon as this matter was brought up, it immediately caused a huge uproar!

Military Technology and Wild Oddity Technology had to continuously verify its authenticity and accuracy!

After all, this matter was of great importance! They couldn't afford any blunders or mishaps... Everyone was already on edge!

And during the three-party meeting.

Ran Quan's side discovered something extraordinary!

"What... what is that?!" Ran Quan saw a huge spider-like machine, over twenty meters tall, with countless dense robots below it, heading towards them.

"Retreat! Quickly report this situation! Record the visuals here!" Ran Quan immediately shouted.

The Scavenger Squad immediately executed the orders, working tensely yet orderly.

Meanwhile, the higher-ups in the three-party meeting received this news.

Looking at the transmitted footage, they all fell silent.

"Everyone... I suppose this matter no longer needs confirmation... Regardless of whether it's an alien civilization or not... we need to establish our defenses... These machines clearly don't come with good intentions!" said the leader of Frontier Technology.

"No objection!"

"No objection!"

The leaders of Military Technology and Wild Oddity Technology both nodded.

Thus, the Three Great Technologies immediately sprang into action, with countless troops mobilizing and various high-tech weapons being transported out.

They prepared to establish the first line of defense near The Ground at the aisle, and then continuously expand outward with successive lines of defense.

Their movements were incredibly swift; it must be said that the power of technology is immense!

By the time Ran Quan and his team retreated, the third line of defense was already taking shape.

"Welcome back!" The Garrison officer saluted Ran Quan.

"Yes! Things are a bit urgent!" Ran Quan said, "A large number of machine organisms are heading this way!"

Ran Quan's team lost one combat vehicle and seven people.

Although they were far away, they were still discovered by that spider machine.

The news brought by Ran Quan was immediately reported.

At this moment, everyone could no longer sit still.

Could it be that the "civilization" on the other side was preparing to attack them?

Those robot "scouts" had probably already gathered all the information, and there were certainly more than what Ran Quan had discovered, many more presences they hadn't found...

In other words...

They had already fallen into a passive state.

"Damn it! What exactly is going on?!" After Ran Quan returned, he sat weakly in the Living Area, drinking a cup of hot tea.

He had originally thought that his world was a "wasteland world," with The Ground World and the Underground World; his worldview had already been shaped, or rather, everyone simply lived in this world.

But then, you tell me that this world isn't actually like that! There are also foreign invaders, invaders from other world civilizations.

Moreover, they still didn't know what kind of existence that civilization was, whether they were also humans, or some strange intelligent beings...

Or was it a civilization composed entirely of robots... After all, until now, their intelligence on this unknown civilization only consisted of the robots they had seen before and the giant spider machine Ran Quan had just seen today.

And this robot had already been recorded in their files, named: [Mass-produced Scout Robot], followed by a series of data and related capabilities.

As for the large spider machine, they had only seen it in footage, and who knew what functions the machines of this "civilization" might have, just like this [Mass-produced Scout Robot], which from the surface looked like a very tall "person," but in combat, its hands could transform into two cannon barrels for long-range combat, or into two blades for close combat.

Although simple and "clumsy," the name itself clearly indicated that these robots were "mass-produced," primarily for use as "cannon fodder." However, even as cannon fodder, the power of their "air cannons" was not low; once they formed a large scale, their firepower coverage was no joke.

And this time, it was a clash between two "technological" civilizations!

Well, both sides, as far as they could tell, should be considered technological civilizations.

After a moment of slight "confusion," Ran Quan immediately spoke in the Cross-World Group chat:

Ran Quan: "Help me! My world is actually being attacked by a civilization from another world!"

Yi Xin: "???"

Lin Zifeng: "Good heavens!"

Bai Mo: "Stream it! Let's see!"

Clarissa: "Are you sure it's another world? If it's this kind of invasion... the Cross-World Group should have a corresponding reaction, right?"

Ran Quan: "I don't know! But I can confirm here that the existence attacking us is not a product of our world! Never mind, I'll start streaming first! A war is about to begin soon!"

Miya-pasu: "That sounds so scary, meow..."

So, Ran Quan started the live stream.

Everyone also received a notification: [Group Member "Ran Quan" has started a live stream]

Everyone entered Ran Quan's live stream room.

Then, everyone saw Ran Quan's current environment.

"Hmm~ Ran Quan, is your world so... well, the environment so harsh?" Lin Zifeng looked at Ran Quan's surroundings. Since it was on The Ground, in what was called The Ground World, a wasteland, the environment naturally wasn't good.

And perhaps because of visitors from "other worlds," the extreme weather on The Ground had improved a lot recently.

At least now it was "calm and sunny," and aside from the sky being very dim, there were no other extreme conditions.
