Chapter 116 The Fall of the City

Although many people were terrified of the Fourth Generation mecha, they cheered thunderously at the imminent victory.

Long Ming and the other chairmen officially set foot in the City of Praying Dragons.

"This is the City of Praying Dragons; we finally took it down."

Fujiwara Tani (Chairman of Amaterasu) said with emotion.

"The price we paid was extraordinarily heavy."

Putemi wasn't happy at all. Augulas went to pilot the Fourth Generation mecha. After this battle, his lifespan would definitely be shortened.

Long Ming was in unusually good spirits: "Don't be discouraged. Once we take the City of Praying Dragons, we can take over the weapons left behind here. Then we can set off for the Lost Continent, complete the Earth Cup, and all the sacrifices will be worth it."

"Chairman Long Ming is right..."

"That's right, victory belongs to us."

The other chairmen echoed with smiles.

Putemi's mouth twitched slightly, feeling like he had swallowed a bitter melon and couldn't voice his suffering, so he could only force a smile.

Just then, the earth suddenly began to shake.

"What's going on!"

Everyone was startled.

The smile on Long Ming's old face also stiffened.

At this moment, metal pillars rose from all directions in the City of Praying Dragons.

Each metal pillar had a rectangular transparent Cdw-02 type nuclear mine embedded in it.

There were a total of eight.

Seeing this number, Long Ming and the others fell from heaven to hell in an instant.

The expressions on everyone's faces were extremely horrified. These eight high-intensity Cdw-02 type nuclear mines were enough to completely erase the City of Praying Dragons.

Even the IV Generation mecha, Kvassir, might not be able to survive in the center of such an explosion.

"It's over!"

Long Ming shuddered all over. He had been hunting birds all his life, but he never expected to have his eyes pecked out by one.

The eight metal pillars emitted red lightning, preparing to activate the high-intensity Cdw-02 type nuclear mines.

Just as everyone's hearts were in their throats,

Suddenly, the lightning on the eight metal pillars went out at the same time, as if the power had been cut off.

Seeing this scene, Long Ming's heart jumped again. His heart was aching from such a roller coaster ride.

However, his first reaction was to roar,

"Go and dismantle all the nuclear mines for me!"

This roar immediately woke everyone up from their stupor, and they rushed forward like crazy.

"Dismantle them quickly!"

Putemi and the others reacted and were jumping up and down in a hurry!

Augulas, who was piloting the Fourth Generation biological mecha Kvassir, was also frightened by this sudden scene and broke out in a cold sweat.

The fanaticism he had been experiencing instantly disappeared.

There was no better sedative than death.

Augulas quickly controlled the Fourth Generation mecha to rush towards the metal pillars, and with one hand, he pulled a metal pillar out of the ground.

.......

In the underground central control room of the City of Praying Dragons,

Artificial intelligence, Quanshen, suddenly displayed a prompt.

"Warning, energy crystal lost, base energy interrupted!"

"Base defense weapons paralyzed."

"Nuclear mine detonation terminated."

......

Whoosh~

The vast underground base of the City of Praying Dragons, all the equipment stopped in an instant, and the lights went out one after another.

Artificial intelligence, Quanshen, became more and more frantic, and the lightning emanating from its body became stronger and stronger.

Its mind seemed to be more and more confused.

"Damn rats, I'm going to tear you apart!"

"So scary, Mommy, I'm scared!"

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die..."

"Is the world coming to an end?"

......

"Immediately start the backup power supply!"

"Starting backup nuclear fission pool..."

"Starting countdown."

"180s"

"179s"

......

In the underground pipes, Qian Chengxue and Xin Yang followed Han Min and the others as they wound around and quickly arrived at an open area.

There were thirty or so people hiding here, men, women, old and young.

Qian Chengxue was a little dumbfounded.

"Han Min, you're back safe and sound. Did you rescue the person?"

Everyone gathered around.

"We rescued her."

Han Min said very happily.

"This is a real person."

Immediately, everyone curiously surrounded Qian Chengxue, as if they were looking at some national treasure.

"Who are you?"

Qian Chengxue asked with confusion.

Han Min said with a smile, "Don't be afraid. Let me introduce ourselves. We are citizens of the Dragon Kingdom and survivors of the Freedom Organization. Distant guests, welcome to our city."

Xin Yang, who was on the side, said, "I know them. They were the group who strongly opposed mechanical ascension. I didn't expect there to be any survivors. I thought they had all been wiped out by Artificial Intelligence, Quanshen."

When Han Min and the others heard Xin Yang's words, their expressions changed drastically, and they subconsciously raised the guns in their hands and pointed them at Xin Yang.

"You are a puppet of artificial intelligence."

"Don't attack, he's not bad."

Qian Chengxue quickly explained.

Xin Yang turned his head and pointed to the back of his head.

"I used to be a part of Artificial Intelligence, Quanshen, but later my transmission device was damaged. So now I have an independent personality, don't worry."

Hearing Xin Yang's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"I see."

At this time, Han Min warmly stretched out her hand and grabbed Qian Chengxue.

"I don't know what to call you, elder sister?"

When Qian Chengxue heard Han Min's enthusiastic question, her expression became a little strange. If you were to talk about age, these people might be old enough to be her ancestors.

Now they are calling her elder sister instead.

Qian Chengxue calmed down and bowed to Han Min and the others.

"Thank you for saving me. Let me introduce myself. My name is Qian Chengxue."

"My name is Han Min, his name is Gao En, her name is Zhang Nan..."

Han Min began to introduce everyone present to Qian Chengxue.

Qian Chengxue shook hands with them one by one, and all the survivors present looked excited.

"Is this the feeling of flesh and blood? It feels really different when you hold it."

"How miraculous, it actually has temperature."

......

Qian Chengxue felt a pang of sadness when she heard what these people were saying.

Han Min apologized to Qian Chengxue for fear of scaring her, "I'm sorry, we haven't seen a real living person in so many years, so we're a little too excited."

"Can I ask you something? How did you escape the control of Artificial Intelligence, Quanshen? And what exactly is going on?"

Qian Chengxue asked suspiciously.

"Actually, even if you didn't ask, we would still tell you everything, because we have something to ask of you."

Han Min replied very sincerely.

"Please, tell me."

"Back then, there was actually a lot of opposition to the matter of mechanical ascension. However, under the suppression and brainwashing propaganda of the upper aristocratic council, most of the opposition was quelled. And they took actions such as cleansing and capture against people with firm standpoints like us, leaving only a few of us to survive. Knowing that we couldn't resist, before the mechanical ascension began, we secretly invaded the storage and found the corresponding mecha for us, set up a back door for physical automatic destruction, interrupted the connection with Artificial Intelligence, Quanshen, and escaped the clutches of being assimilated."

"But we can only live like rats, barely surviving, until we saw your arrival. From the moment you entered the base and triggered a series of alarms, we knew that there were living people here, but unfortunately our strength was very weak, and we couldn't find an opportunity to save you."

Han Min gave a rough explanation.

"I see, then what can I do for you?"

"We want you to help us eliminate Artificial Intelligence, Quanshen, return everyone's consciousness to everyone, and save the Dragon Kingdom!"

"This..."

"You are the only one we can rely on, we have no way to get close to Artificial Intelligence, Quanshen. As long as we approach it within a certain range, we will be invaded by its powerful force and eventually assimilated by it. Only flesh and blood can ignore its assimilation, and we don't have much time left. Artificial Intelligence, Quanshen, is now on the verge of madness."

"But I...."

Qian Chengxue's face showed a look of bitterness. It wasn't that she didn't want to help, but the hope was slim.

Just as Han Min was about to speak,

Boom~

Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded, and everyone was a little unstable.

At this time, a hole was blown open in the metal wall above, and then killer mechanical puppet dolls jumped down, and at the same time, mechanical spiders crawled out.

The giant mechanical spider at the head had red eyes and made a hoarse, mechanically synthesized voice.

"I finally found you, a bunch of rats!"

"Quanshen!"

Xin Yang showed a look of horror.

"Protect Qian Chengxue!"

Han Min gritted her teeth and issued an order, and many robots on the scene protected Qian Chengxue behind them.

Qian Chengxue bit her lip until it bled, and her hands were clenched into fists. A feeling of extreme powerlessness rose from the bottom of her heart.
