Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 704 - 506 Failure_4
The twenty-meter wide passage only allowed two Model 3 mechas to advance abreast, so the mecha team also formed two lines. Two Model 3s were in the front, with the largest, the Model 1 Earth War God, setting out only after a sixty-meter gap had opened behind the preceding Model 3s.
When Chen Gu had a "big leg" to rely on, he'd often happily coast along, just like now.
He maneuvered his mecha to stay within the group, completely lacking the self-awareness that he was the strongest in the team after Modric and Rosfield, acting just like an ordinary warrior.
As soon as they entered the range of the moss, Chen Gu noticed his mecha's electronic devices starting to FIZZ and CRACKLE—electronic interference.
Previous intelligence had mentioned it, but the electronic interference here was much weaker than on Sol Star and seemed more focused on jamming communications rather than completely destroying all electronic devices.
However, this interference was weaker on the outskirts and became more intense as they ventured deeper. Consequently, everyone had to abandon their communication channels, resorting to shouting to each other instead.
Modric and Rosfield were at the forefront. The twenty-meter-wide wilted zone continued to spread forward, and soon they had advanced seven kilometers. In front of them was the Fly Mansion—the previous team had perished right here.
Rosfield stopped and looked up at the mansion.
In his gaze, Chen Gu saw a dim, blood-red color emerge: a type of professional scouting skill.
"Eliminate them," Rosfield commanded indifferently, compelling Modric to control the artifact, Celestial Rank Number 2-13, engulfing the entire mansion with its terrifying power.
First, starting with the mansion's exterior, the sheets of green moss, seven to eight meters thick, rapidly turned yellow. They peeled off in patches and, as they fell, were torn apart by the wind, scattering across the sky.
Then, a series of faint but piercing sounds emanated from within the mansion, possibly the death cries of those moss flies.
Throughout this process, the participants could not perceive any force at work. Everything proceeded silently and invisibly, yet the outcomes were staggering.
About ten minutes later, Modric said, panting, "Your Excellency, the clearing is complete."
As a Seventh Energy Level being, controlling such a mighty Celestial Rank artifact was a heavy burden for him.
Rosfield didn't reply. Just as before, his body remained still while his neck twisted one hundred and eighty degrees to look back.
He seemed to have sensed something.
At their entry point, green moss had once again covered the wilted zone at the entrance.
Chen Gu's expression subtly changed. Since their arrival, he had kept his Radiation Field active. Just after Modric had cleared out all the moss creatures inside the mansion, Chen Gu suddenly felt an emotion radiating from the dense, innumerable moss creatures around them...
Not anger, but joy!
Have we done what they wanted us to do?
It's certainly not killing these creatures, so what else could they want us to do?
Chen Gu had a sudden realization. They want us to venture deeper into this place!
He slowly looked around, his expression turning grave for the first time since Rosfield, their "big leg," had joined them.
He then flew into the air and landed on the shoulder of the rearmost Model 1 mecha, the Earth War God, asking the Colonel in the cockpit, "Is there a secret about this city that we need to know?"
The Colonel was the highest-ranking military officer present.
With a cold face, he said solemnly, "No. Everything you need to know has already been told to you."
Chen Gu inwardly shook his head. Just as I thought, there's a problem. From those words alone, it was clear the military was hiding something about this city.
Rosfield appeared somewhat dissatisfied with Chen Gu's "unauthorized action." He stamped his foot and extended his hand to Modric. "Pass me Celestial Rank Number 2-13. You're almost at your limit."
Modric hesitated. Balermo's betrayal made him wary of easily handing over such an essential artifact.
Before he could think of an excuse to refuse, the city beneath their feet suddenly came to life!
The moss transformed into countless worms, and the once tranquil ground undulated like ocean waves.
The team members were shocked and hastily aimed their weapons outward, searching for targets. However, the surrounding moss creatures showed no intention of attacking them!
These entities began to connect, forming strange structures.
"What are they doing?"
Inside the Earth War God Model 1 mecha, the Colonel shouted, but no one could answer him.
Rosfield's expression was stern. He couldn't be bothered to demand Celestial Rank Number 2-13 from Modric anymore and instead directly activated the Celestial Rank Number 4-11 he controlled. It released a faint red energy glow that, in seconds, enshrouded the entire city and modified certain "expressions."
But it was ineffectual!
Even Rosfield stood stunned. "The Celestial Rank artifact... has failed?!"
