Delrimus Base No. 3.
This, on the surface, appeared to be a research base focused on chanical beasts, a part of the Sikes Civilization Descent Faction's infrastructure.
However, having circled half the periter of the underground structure, Lu Heng discovered that the base's security level was extrely high, far surpassing any other base he had previously investigated.
Lu Heng changed his direction and, once his Source Material Energy had fully recovered, he entered Shadow Travel again, diving into the ground and utilizing Shadow Vision for reconnaissance.
The range of Shadow Vision wasn't enough to penetrate the entire underground base, so he could only observe the periphery.
On the fifth sublevel, he encountered an intricate laser matrix system.
The defense was comparable to the highest level military bases of Sikes Military.
Even in the state of Shadow Travel, he could not access the fifth level.
If the radar system of the laser matrix detected him, it would surely arouse suspicion.
Besides, Lu Heng on the third and fourth floors discovered two Demon chanical Transformation Laboratories.
In these laboratories, several Commander Level Demons were undergoing chanical transformation experints.
Although he had not seen the Abyss Pollution Source yet, Lu Heng felt that it must lie beneath the Delrimus Base No. 3.
Even if it wasn't the Abyss Pollution Source, sothing more terrible than the chanical Demon Laboratories was certainly hidden there.
...
After returning to the surface, Lu Heng tapped the chanical scarab and said, "Professor Ze Wei'er, I'd like to talk with you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a holographic screen popped up above the chanical scarab, displaying the image of the Xavier Matrix.
"Did you find anything?"
"I've seen an extensive laser matrix in the underground section of Delrimus Base No. 3, levels three and four house chanical Demon Laboratories. I believe there's sothing even more terrifying in levels five and six, likely the Abyss Pollution Source. But the defense is too strong, unless we force our way in, there's no way to get in," Lu Heng briefly reported his findings.
Xavier Matrix's processing power was imnse; it determined the results almost the instant he finished speaking.
Its response was swift, as if unconsidered, but had actually been through ticulous calculation by its core processor.
"Could you sketch out the underground structure of the Delrimus Base No. 3?"
"I can try."
Lu Heng extended his finger towards the holographic screen, beginning to draw the rough structure of the underground construction while verbally describing, "Here's the laser matrix, and here and here…"
The finger-drawn map was crude, but combined with the verbal description, Xavier Matrix calculated a three-dinsional structural diagram.
Then, Lu Heng adjusted this 3D model to finalize the underground structure of Delrimus Base No. 3.
After reflecting, Xavier Matrix asked, "From the architectural structure, floors five and six indeed should contain more secretive items; we need to investigate this thoroughly. What's your plan?"
Lu Heng had already considered this question, "We only have one day left before our return, so we must act on the last night.
"I think we should just destroy the base, even if we don't find the Abyss Pollution Source, at least we can eliminate the chanical Demon Laboratories."
"I am willing to cooperate with your operation," replied Xavier Matrix.
Among the three main factions in the current Sikes Civilization, Xavier Matrix supported the Stay and Defend Faction.
As for the Escape Faction, it did not align with his philosophy, but he saw nothing inherently wrong with the faction itself.
In tis of disaster, so people naturally prioritize escaping, seeking safety from catastrophe.
Moreover, a civilization needs a contingency plan to preserve its seeds of civilization.
The Escape Faction na might sound derogatory, but its purpose was precisely to preserve such seeds.
Comparatively speaking…
The philosophy of the Descent Faction was hardest for others to accept, wanting the Abyss to descend and rule the Sikes World.
It was a revelry of anti-social individuals.
Therefore, if it beca necessary to use force against a faction, Xavier Matrix would not hesitate to fire upon the Descent Faction.
In addition, researching chanical Demons strongly clashed with his scientific principles.
From the beginning, he believed that if one were to transform Demons, the first step should be removing their minds, simply put, taking their brains out.
This research direction, however, was not shared by the Descent Faction.
...
With the final day before their return upon them.
If they were to take action against Delrimus Base No. 3, they needed to make preparations.
And before the action, ample rest was needed.
So Lu Heng and his two companions first took Yuan Yaoyao back to Xavier Matrix's base to briefly discuss the next day's action plan, then rested until dawn.
Humans need to rest, but robots do not.
Thus, while Lu Heng and his companions rested, the Xavier Matrix's robots continuously prepared.
They adjusted equipnt and infiltrated various Sikes official systems, getting ready for the action scheduled for the next evening.
...
As evening fell the next day.
Before the action comnced, everyone gathered to review the plan once more and considered potential contingency plans for unexpected situations.
Considering they were about to face the highest level of defense system within Sikes Civilization and might encounter other human superpower users,
a retreat plan was essential.
If the situation beca unmanageable, they needed to safely withdraw or hold out until the return ti.
At eight in the evening.
A transport vehicle drove out from Begonia Courtyard, covered with an Invisibility Veil, heading towards the direction of Delrimus Base No. 3.
Half an hour later.
The transport vehicle reached the military base's periphery.
There were two chanical Angels on board, one was the Black Feather Spirit and the other was the White Feather Spirit.
Aside from that, there were six self-propelled firepower suppression systems and twenty-four ard drones.
According to the introduction by Xavier Matrix, the most important was a tal alloy box in the corner containing a powerful weapon.
The ti was 9:05 AM.
All operational units synchronized their watches and began their final preparations.
Lu Heng tapped on the helt of the Black Feather Spirit and reminded, "If you encounter danger, retreat first, no matter what, you have to hold on until the return ti. Set an alarm in the system, and as soon as it's the return ti, head back imdiately."
"Got it. My light computer system will give battle prompts, so you don't need to worry," affird the Black Feather Spirit, nodding as the two wing-like antennas on its head moved.
After everyone was ready, Lu Heng picked up the tal alloy box in the corner, gestured towards the direction of the Delrims 3 Base, and ordered, "Action!"
Su Muyu imdiately activated the Invisibility Veil and escorted all operational units close to the outer wall of Delrims 3 Base.
After approaching the outer wall, Lu Heng activated "Shadow Traversal," carrying the tal alloy box through the wall and into the interior of Delrims 3 Base.
The defense system of this secret base mainly focused on the underground, thus the defenses on the above-ground part were not as high.
Lu Heng entered the interior of the above-ground building, found a secluded corner, and opened the tal alloy box.
Inside the tal alloy box were densely packed tiny particles.
To the naked eye, they looked like a bunch of tal particles, each only the size of a grain of rice.
However, Lu Heng had seen the enlarged structural diagram of these particles, and they were not ordinary.
After opening the tal alloy box, these tiny particles began to move, crawling out of the box like ants, spreading out, burrowing into various pipes in the building.
These ant-like crawling things were officially called "Thybaid Level Nanite Exploding Robots."
While moving, these robots would extend chanical legs to crawl, resembling spiders with eight legs in the structure diagram.
Each robot was only the size of a grain of rice but possessed enormous power and could autonomously search for targets to execute targeted explosions.
More frighteningly, inside the tal alloy box were a total of 300,000 of these tiny creatures.
After all nanite exploding spiders had crawled out of the box, they spread out in all directions.
Lu Heng watched the ti and began the countdown.
According to the well-planned operational sche, the nanite exploding spiders would take ten minutes to find the explosion points and then carry out the explosions.
The sound of the explosion was the signal for the operation to officially begin.
Ti passed by second by second.
After ten minutes, Lu Heng silently counted down the final seconds.
Then, a thunderous boom rang out inside the base.
Lu Heng could clearly hear the explosion; the closest one was no more than thirty ters away.
The vibrations from the explosion were not very intense, and the feeling underfoot was not strong.
The nanite exploding robots perford targeted explosions, and after calculating the necessary explosive force, they gathered just enough units to detonate.
This made the explosive force just slightly over the needed threshold, without any wasteful excess power.
Thus, the explosions were perfectly asured.
After the first explosion, explosions began to ignite one after another inside the base.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
After the 300,000 nanite exploding robots reached their specified locations, they began to detonate in sequence.
They blasted through several key locations of Delrims 3 Base, creating breaches and making the shortest pathways for the subsequent breakthrough actions.
After the explosions began, an alarm sounded inside Delrims 3 Base.
The buzzing alarm echoed throughout the entire base.
The alarm signal began transmitting outward but received no response.
This was because the alarm system had been hacked by Xavier Matrix, temporarily blocking the signal transmission.
However, this could only last for a short while and it was uncertain how long it could hold.
Thus, this operation had to be quick, otherwise, they would face the crazy ard onslaught of the Descent Faction.
Boom!
An explosion blasted a hole in the outer wall of Delrims 3 Base.
Su Muyu, Lin Zeyu, along with Yuan Yaoyao's Black Feather Spirit and another chanical Angel, the White Feather Spirit, entered the base through the hole.
After eting with them, Lu Heng, following the planned sche, began to break downwards.
The pathway downward had already been blown open by the nanite exploding robots, so the breakthrough downwards was very fast.
Alarm bells rang throughout the base, and the defense system detected the intruders.
chanical guards from various locations converged, opening fire upon spotting the intruders.
As the group entered the first underground level, they encountered sixteen chanical guards in the corridor.
The sixteen chanical guards opened fire simultaneously.
Da-da-da…
Bullets sprayed like dense rain.
Su Muyu activated the "Prism Force Field," blocking all the bullets.
The two chanical Angels retaliated using their laser weapons.
"We're heading straight to the next level."
This operation needed to be as quick as possible due to the pressing ti, so Lu Heng decided not to waste ti on these chanical guards and directly led the team through the hole blasted by the nanite exploding robots to the next level.
Lin Zeyu covered their rear, throwing two Source Energy Shock Bombs towards the hole just as the chanical guards gathered, blasting them to smithereens.
The team continued to break downwards, quickly reaching the third underground level with the aid of the nanite exploding robots.
This level was where the chanical Demon Laboratory was located, requiring a quick clearing operation.
