CHAPTER 991: CHAPTER 414: PHANTOM EYE (5-IN-1) (PART 3)
The result was that as he followed Little Grey flying forward, Little Grey stopped, then turned and flew back.
Su Ming patiently followed Little Grey.
After over ten hours.
Little Grey flew back and forth across the starry sky, the corners of Su Ming’s mouth twitching constantly.
He hadn’t expected the treasure to be so difficult to find, even Little Grey couldn’t locate it.
"Phew!"
Su Ming exhaled lightly, glanced at the time, then controlled the mecha to fly in front of Little Grey and opened the cockpit.
Little Grey saw this and flew back.
"Squeak squeak."
Little Grey squeaked at Su Ming, a bit guilty.
"It’s okay. We’ll find it slowly. Let’s go back and rest for a while, check on the others too."
Su Ming patted Little Grey’s head comfortingly.
"Squeak squeak."
Little Grey nodded.
Su Ming then controlled the mecha to return.
...
Soon after, Su Ming controlled the mecha to return to Wind Moving.
As he parked the mecha in the bay and jumped down from the open cockpit.
Rhein, Hai Lan, and the others gathered around.
"Boss, you’re back. How did it go? Did you find it?"
They asked expectantly.
"No, did you discover anything?"
Su Ming shook his head in reply.
"No, we searched all over the nearby starry sky, and not only did we not find any planets, we didn’t even find a meteorite."
Rhein reported with a sigh.
Upon hearing this, Su Ming’s eyebrows furrowed even tighter.
Zhang Yi hesitated for a moment before asking.
"Queen Hai Lan, is there really a treasure here? You’re not deceiving us, are you?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked up at Queen Hai Lan.
Though Zhang Yi’s words weren’t pleasant, the possibility wasn’t entirely out of the question.
Queen Hai Lan shook her head, answering with certainty.
"I absolutely did not deceive you all...."
"Lady Hai Lan, you don’t need to explain, I trust you! Everyone, let’s not waste time arguing. The treasure must exist. Since we haven’t found it, something must have gone wrong at some juncture. What we need to do now is to find every possible way to unearth the treasure."
Su Ming interrupted Queen Hai Lan, speaking to the group.
"Alright!"
The people, including Rhein, responded in unison.
"From now on, all search personnel will be divided into two teams, and we’ll take turns searching."
Su Ming instructed the group.
"Understood!"
Rhein and the others replied promptly.
...
Two days later.
Su Ming was controlling the Fake V Generation Mecha·Shadow Lord, searching with Little Grey in the starry sky.
However, the situation remained very bleak, as Little Grey flew back and forth as if lost.
Su Ming sighed helplessly, controlled the mecha to fly over, and brought Little Grey back.
Little Grey hung its head, without a sound.
"It’s alright."
Su Ming comforted it, then controlled the mecha to fly back, preparing to change shifts.
At this moment, on the other side of the starry sky, Deng Yu was controlling the Third Generation Mecha·Green Wings returning, and as he flew through a patch of dark nebula.
The surface of the dark nebula produced a slight ripple, revealing a water-drop shaped Spiritual Mechanism·Illusion Eye with blue metal Spark embedded, and metal cicada wings, instantly locking onto Green Wing Mecha.
"Hostile target detected...."
"Data analysis match underway...."
"Target mech identified as Federation’s Third Generation Mecha·Green Wings."
...
A second later, Spiritual Mechanism·Illusion Eye rippled across its entire body, re-entered stealth mode, and silently followed.
Several hours later.
Spiritual Mechanism·Illusion Eye trailed Deng Yu to the hiding place of Wind Moving.
Deng Yu flew directly toward the Wind Moving access port, accompanied by numerous mechas returning, and many mechas exiting the port.
Spiritual Mechanism·Illusion Eye halted at a distance, conducting a full scan of Wind Moving.
A virtual interface popped up a red warning box.
"Warning: Scanned XSA-01 Model·Mechanical Octopus."
"Warning: Target fabricated with Mechanical Clan’s bionic technology."
"Warning: Triggered XICS-6211 safety protocol."
"Warning: Standard Level 4 Battleship detected!"
"Tip: Generating danger report."
"Tip: Information feedback underway to Vanguard Mechanical Fortress·Black Stone."
"Tip: Breakpoint information sent successfully."
...
After Spiritual Mechanism·Illusion Eye sent the reconnaissance information, it did not immediately retreat but continued to observe from its current location.
Watching numerous mechas constantly entering and exiting the ship, it was utterly perplexed, unable to understand what humans were doing.
However, after observing for a while, it locked onto the numerous Mechanical Octopus covering the hull of Wind Moving, and the metal Spark exploded instantaneously, initiating the invasion.
"Firewall breach in progress."
"Data parsing underway."
...
Spiritual Mechanism·Illusion Eye prepared to silently take down the Mechanical Octopus and then infiltrate the ship.
Just then, a red alert suddenly popped up.
"Data anomaly...."
Bzzt~
Instantaenously, all Mechanical Octopuses attached to Wind Moving turned their eyes red and detached from the ship.
Inside Wind Moving’s central control room.
A piercing alarm sounded unexpectedly, with multiple red warning boxes popping up.
"Warning: Mechanical Octopus with number 01 disconnected."
"Warning: Mechanical Octopus with number 02 disconnected."
...
Li Menghan and others, instantly horrified, shouted at Timi.
"Lord Timi, the Mechanical Octopus is out of control."
"How can this be?"
Timi was also agitated by the sudden turn of events.
At that moment, the Mechanical Octopuses detached from Wind Moving began to flash red arcs of lightning across their bodies, one after another, exploding on their own.
Boom boom boom!
Countless fireworks erupted.
Su Ming, piloting the Fake V Generation Mecha·Shadow Lord back at that very moment, saw this scene and was stunned.
