Starting as a Mechan Chapter 79 - 70: Ocean People

Chapter 79: Chapter 70: Ocean People

In the center of the ’chanical Airship’ lounge, there was a large ornantal fish tank, with so colorful bionic fish swimming inside.

However, at this mont, the bionic fish were each shocked to the point where their skins and flesh split, electronic components from their bellies floated on the water surface, as if they had been disemboweled.

The bionic fish were dead, replaced by eight ’Thundercloud Electric Eel hatchlings’ over two ters long. These mutated ocean life forms seed dissatisfied with the ’cramped’ living environnt, their tails constantly sparking, blue light flickering continuously in the water.

"The generator is here!"

Fortunately, two Exoskeleton Warriors connected a backup generator to the tank, the strong voltage causing the Thundercloud Eels to comfortably let out a series of purrs.

The hatchlings finally quieted down.

The onlookers glanced at each other, speechless for a mont.

Who would have thought that those Thundercloud Electric Eels were really here to spawn offspring?

When Gao Gong walked into the cabin carrying eight big fish, everyone was stunned.

Zhou Cong hesitated for a mont and said, "Those Thundercloud Electric Eels probably see you as an Eco Beast."

"What’s an Eco Beast?" Zhao chanism couldn’t help but ask.

"When a whale falls, all forms of life arise, the whale is the Eco Beast. The marine survival environnt is far more complex than land, and the mutated life within tends to join an ’Energy System’ to coexist, and the organizers of such ’ecosystems’ are the Eco Beasts."

Du Zhaodi said softly, "You can simply understand it as one Eco Beast being a small Beast Tide."

Zhou Cong added, "I once fought near the coast and saw a chanical Giant Whale comparable to an aircraft carrier, as well as an Eight-Clawed Giant controlling an entire fleet. Countless mutated sea beasts were nurtured and spread in the ships. The appearance of such Eco Beasts is a huge test for the chanical Legion every ti."

"They really see

as a nurse," Gao Gong said while stroking his chin.

Zhao chanism was stunned for a mont and blurted out, "Then why not just throw them away? What if those giant eels co looking for them?"

Gao Gong looked at Zhao chanism as if he was an idiot.

"They left their offspring at your house, and then you threw them away. Do you think their parents wouldn’t go all out against you?"

Zhou Cong stretched out his armored-covered hand, but before he could touch the glass, the air was already thick with charge, wrapping around his fingers, making a ’sizzling’ sound.

The eel in the water suddenly turned its body, its fist-sized eyes warily staring at him.

Zhou Cong withdrew his hand, shook his head, and said, "No need to be so pessimistic, this might be a good thing."

"I’ve heard an expert say that seabed minerals are far richer than those on land, and relying on just one Radiation Beast isn’t enough for seabed mining. Thus, marine Radiation Beasts are more inclined to a cooperative foraging model, rather than conflict and slaughter."

"Their ’herbivore’ nature far outweighs ’carnivore’, of course, when they haven’t initiated a ’Sea Tide.’"

"With these Thundercloud Electric Eels’ pheromones, at least during our return trip, there’s no need to worry about being attacked by thunderstorm winds."

Disregarding its danger, this ’electric eel’ is actually a very beautiful creature, its blue, almost transparent body, sapphire-like eyes, exuding a hazy radiance all over, it would definitely be worshipped as a Water God in ancient tis.

"At least we don’t have to worry about the factory running out of electricity."

Gao Gong stared at the attributes displayed on the system, mumbling to himself.

Aside from the unexpected ’Thundercloud Electric Eels’, the journey was smooth, and around three in the afternoon, Gao Gong and his team successfully reached the outskirts of the ’Hunter’s Tomb’.

It was a gigantic-level forest, its scale far exceeding the concrete jungle of the tropolitan Area.

Within it, Gao Gong could feel a more peaceful force, like a deity standing among mortals, gazing evenly at all life.

The Exoskeleton Warrior scouting ahead suddenly gestured for them to conceal themselves.

Gao Gong pulled Du Zhaodi behind a tree, and soon, a muscle-horned antelope appeared not far away.

This antelope was over two ters tall, with two horns on its head resembling bent steel bars, a streamlined chanical helt enveloping its head, and prominent muscles extending downward from its neck.

It calmly walked to a tree, curled its tongue around the tallic fallen leaves on the ground, and chewed slowly. After about five minutes of eating, it leisurely departed.

The Exoskeleton Warrior ahead signaled the group to set out again.

Upon reaching a waterfall, the group saw another chanical Bio-Beast.

This was a three-story-high chanical Rhinoceros, with a body surface covered in massive tal modules, its spine sporting mane-like cables, and four jet holes on its abdon sides.

At the mont, it stood underneath the waterfall, letting the water cleanse its ’steel fra’, and every five minutes, the four jet holes would spray a torrent of murky water.

Strangely enough, it was like a car wash.

After a full half an hour, it finally shook its head and stepped out from the waterfall, before lounging on a mountain rock nearby, its electronic eyes flickering a few tis before suddenly ’blacking out’.

This should be ’sleep’ or ’hibernation’.

At least it’s not a shutdown.

This chanical Rhinoceros is obviously much stronger than the Horned Antelope from before. Although it’s not B-level, it’s estimated to be at least C

standard.

Besides this rhino and antelope, Gao Gong also saw a chanical Ostrich, Heavy Armored Yak, and Foldable Wing Duck, all living leisurely.

"So peaceful," Du Zhaodi couldn’t help but say.

Compared to the violent darkness of the Beast Tide and the perilous steps of the tropolitan Area, this place is more like a zoo, only all the animals inside are half-chanical life.

"We’re almost at the spot you ntioned," Zhou Cong spoke up.

Gao Gong glanced at the map and nodded, "Yes, we’re almost there."

Gao Gong did not hide the heritage of the Classical Stream chanical Hunter. In fact, he needed such a story background.

An ordinary chanical Hunter accidentally inherits the legacy of the previous generation, gaining powerful strength. This is a plausible story.

Without this story, if Gao Gong suddenly ca out with a bunch of high-tech blueprints, he would definitely be dissected for research.

"Be careful, sothing triggered my alarm system," Zhou Cong frowned, pressing a button on the Exoskeleton. Instantly, the protective arms on both sides recessed, and two palm-sized drones flew out, quickly disappearing.

Zhou Cong turned his head, and the electronic radiance from his eye sensor scanned Gao Gong, whose prosthetic eye imdiately gained a ’small window’, sharing the drone’s view.

Gao Gong silently sighed, thinking to himself that he must install a ’firewall’ for himself later, even if it’s a basic version.

Otherwise, the prosthetic body would be like a sieve.

Sharing the view is fine, but what if it shares a private video?

He is such a serious person.

Soon, through the drone’s perspective, he ’saw’ thick white fog. Not long after the two drones entered the fog, Gao Gong’s window turned into a snowy screen.

"The drones were attacked," Zhou Cong’s face was grave.

"Wild virus, electronic life, or just pure physical attack?"

"Unclear, but the last image transmitted from the data terminal was of a humanoid creature."

"A humanoid creature, it can’t be a scavenger, right."

Gao Gong raised an eyebrow, thinking the possibility of a mutated wildman was higher.

Soon, the group arrived not far from the fog.

Zhou Cong divided the people into three small groups. Gao Gong and Du Zhaodi ford one group, he and Zhao chanism another group, two Exoskeleton Warriors ford the last group, and the rest stayed on the periphery to guard, ensuring no problems occurred outside while exploring the fog.

Zhao chanism saw Gao Gong and Du Zhaodi in a group and instinctively opened his mouth, but eventually closed it again.

Gao Gong wouldn’t take him along, and Du Zhaodi wouldn’t pay attention to him, so what’s the point of saying anything?

Gao Gong took Du Zhaodi’s hand, and as they entered the fog, he activated the Radiation Field.

However, surprisingly, the usually unstoppable Radiation Field lost its effect, as if a wall blocked all the radiation energy.

Gao Gong couldn’t sense anything.

"This should be a new kind of invisible material, similar to radar coatings, but it blocks not electronic signals, but energy beams."

Du Zhaodi scanned the white fog and made a judgnt with a professional eye.

"Looks like we have indeed arrived."

Gao Gong’s right eyelid flickered twice quickly, and under the Infrared Horizon, the fog seed unaffected.

Does this defend against radiation beasts but not chanical Transforrs?

The two continued exploring and soon discovered a gigantic corpse.

"So big!"

This corpse was only a size smaller than the previous chanical Rhinoceros, still two stories high. Gao Gong was amazed because this creature was actually a lobster in its original form!

A super-sized steel lobster!

The lobster’s shell was wrapped in a thick layer of ice. Du Zhaodi took out anti-radiation gloves, put them on, and then picked up a piece of stone from the ground to start knocking. Seeing her skilled posture, she must have done quite a bit of ironwork in the factory.

After knocking off an ice block, the ponytail girl took out a flashlight. Under its light, the ice block surface didn’t show a hexagonal pattern but had a dusty appearance, as if countless tiny needle points were sealed within the ice.

"It’s nuclear ice, it ca from the sea."

Nuclear ice, also known as nuclear ice, is a byproduct of a nuclear winter, usually appearing on ice floes at the surface of the sea.

After experiencing a ’planetary reshaping’ level of war, heat and light beca a minority, cold, dampness, and desolation beca the main the of this planet.

Gao Gong circled around but found no external wounds. Perhaps it died of starvation or of cold.

Gao Gong narrated this as a joke to Du Zhaodi, to which the ponytail girl gave him a pretty eye roll.

Soon, the two of them found a second corpse.

This corpse reminded Gao Gong of a paper he had seen in Professor Han’s laboratory.

"Is it possible for Ocean People to exist"
