554: Chapter 602 Entering the territory of the Mech Race! Were we discovered?
Under An Ke's deployment, everyone began to move.
Members with almost no combat power, such as Oufu, Kata, Dairy Cow Mom, and Little Calf, went with Kuku to search for the flag.
To increase combat strength, Tiger Mom, Sister-in-law Crocodile, and Hua Hua, several women with extraordinary abilities, also followed.
Now, they are all humans possessing three forms.
Once they obtain the flag, they will open a portal and teleport directly to the front line.
And the front line is the game territory where the Mecha Armor Race resides.
After all, that fallen High-Sequence Organism is within the Mecha Armor Race's game territory.
An Ke must come before that creature's corpse to swap bodies with it.
Secondly, the entrance to the Mecha Armor Race's territory is within the Giant Forest.
Following Nicole's 'Accelerator', everyone descended directly to the territory entrance, unable to know the exact route.
This way, it would take a considerable amount of time for the others to find their way here.
An Ke's group would also have more time.
...
The Mecha Armor Race territory is a vast data world, filled with various circuit and chip-like landscapes.
It looks like walking inside a massive supercomputer.
The sky is dark and void, with data-like lines connecting heaven and earth.
Walking on it feels like traversing a data space.
...
After leading An Ke's group inside, Nicole found a hidden passage to advance through.
It was akin to the gaps between various components.
'Master!'
Jingang flapped its wings, flew to the top of An Ke's head, and then chirped:
'Has This Gang now become a Digimon?'
An Ke glanced at Jingang, grabbed him, and pulled him down: 'Shut up, be quiet.'
Ahead, the leading Nicole couldn't help but look back. In her utterly emotionless tone, she said:
'If that bird keeps chirping, I will not hesitate to tear him apart.'
An Ke shrugged helplessly, 'Don't worry, if he chirps again, I'll tear him apart myself even if you don't.'
As he spoke, An Ke glared at Jingang, who immediately shrank his head, not daring to make another sound.
When entering the Mecha Armor Race territory, Nicole had said it was best they not be discovered.
The Mecha Armor Race is highly xenophobic. Upon discovering any organism entering their territory, they would not hesitate to eliminate it.
And with Nicole disconnected from the 'terminal', she would also be viewed as an abnormal machine by other Mecha Armors, taken away for recycling.
Nicole would then be erased, unable to help An Ke's group activate that corpse's consciousness.
An Ke's biological level ascension plan would directly be declared a failure.
Therefore, they had to infiltrate without alerting the other Mecha Armors.
However, once Nicole uploads her own data to the terminal, she can make the other Mecha Armors like herself.
They would want to know what it feels like to possess a heart, thereby helping An Ke ascend his biological level.
'What percentage of the data has been uploaded?' An Ke inquired.
'Three percent,' Nicole replied instantly.
An Ke fell silent for a moment.
From the time Nicole started uploading until now, it must have been at least over ten minutes, right?
Only three percent?
'Is it really that slow?' Gui Mian frowned.
He currently had the appearance of a white-skinned, puppy-like young man.
No! To be precise, it should be the cold-toned skin of a vampire.
'Little Mouse me, even without using fur to calculate, thinks it'll take a long time to complete, yo.' Three Hairs lay on top of An Ke's head.
Ahead, Nicole led the way while calmly stating, 'It will be slower in the initial phase.'
'The terminal is somewhat resistant to my upload. It will speed up during the mid and late phases.'
'Oh? So it's like slipping in first, then once the other side gets lubricated and you conquer them, they'll actively accept it?' Jingang said with flirtatious words.
Ahead, Nicole tilted her head, somewhat unable to understand what this Flirty Bird was saying.
'Although I cannot parse the meaning of this Flirty Bird's words, I think eliminating him is the right course of action.'
Clearly, Nicole felt Jingang wasn't saying anything good.
Seeing Nicole's eyes glow red, Jingang's entire bird body instantly bristled.
'No, girl, I'm just a bird.'
Although he was mischievous, he clearly knew Nicole, this machine, was not to be provoked.
Simply couldn't win.
It would cost him his bird life.
Seeing Nicole about to personally kill the bird.
An Ke quickly stepped forward to act as the peacemaker.
'Nicole, let it go. I'll discipline him.'
As he spoke, An Ke grabbed Jingang and kicked him like a ball.
'If you act, causing a commotion and attracting the attention of other Mecha Armors, what then?'
'Right now, the most important thing is to help me ascend my biological level.'
Hearing this, the red glow in Nicole's eyes extinguished.
Old Crocodile, Gui Mian, A Giao, and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If Nicole had acted, even with An Ke and everyone joining forces, they might not have been able to withstand the Mecha Armor Nicole.
Fortunately, An Ke was clever enough to defuse the situation.
...
Under Nicole's lead, the group twisted and turned, covering quite a distance.
Even An Ke was taken aback by such a complex route.
Nicole seemed to perceive everyone's thoughts.
She spoke up: 'If we flew, it wouldn't be this complicated.'
'However, flying would inevitably be detected by other Mecha Armors.'
'Where is that corpse located?' An Ke couldn't help but ask.
'In the Core Tower.'
Nicole pointed towards a tower in the distance.
That tower stood tall, seemingly connecting heaven and earth, constructed from massive machinery.
It looked full of technological flair, yet also carried a sense of peculiar decay.
'Little Mouse me, is shocked, yo. Isn't that at least 20-something kilometers away?' Three Hairs exclaimed in astonishment.
The others were also taken aback. Wasn't that too far?
Actually, if they could fly or use supernatural powers, this distance would be nothing.
But now they could only walk, and with all the detours, it would take at least several days.
'Actually, it won't take several days.' Nicole spoke again, as if reading their minds.
'Once I finish uploading the data, it will be fine.'
Nicole said calmly.
However, right at that moment, an alarm sounded throughout the territory.
The originally void-like darkness suddenly flashed with red light.
Simultaneously, a cold mechanical voice rang out: 'Alert! Alert!'
'Alert! Alert!'
At that moment, it felt as if the entire space tensed up.
Old Crocodile, Gui Mian, and the others all changed their expressions.
'Wh-what's happening?!'
'Boss, could it be we've been discovered?'
Jingang widened his eyes, blaming himself: 'So it's because This Muscle Man is too big, too conspicuous, huh?'
After saying this, he also sighed.
An Ke gave Jingang a speechless look, really wanting to hit him.
But he suppressed the impulse in his heart.
He frowned and looked at Nicole: 'Nicole, have we been discovered?'
Nicole also frowned, utterly perplexed.
'It shouldn't be. Under normal circumstances, we couldn't possibly be discovered.'
And just then, above the group, Mecha Armors flew past overhead.
Nicole's pupils contracted. She said quickly, 'Find cover, now.'
Everyone hurriedly pressed themselves against the wall.
And above their heads, one Mecha Armor after another soared past.
