Chapter 408: Don’t worry, he can’t come over!
Deep in the ocean, undercurrents are surging.
The submarine that Su Xia was riding in moved slowly, searching everywhere for the Phantom Blue Sea Clams he needed.
During this period, he did not encounter the deep-sea monster he had always been afraid of.
As far as you can see, the sea water is turbid and there are small marine creatures in the water. The danger level is low and there is no need to worry too much.
"Hey, SpongeBob?"
Su Xia raised her eyebrows, leaned forward slightly, and looked forward while sitting in her seat.
On a gray-black reef in front, there was an irregular oval yellow-brown sponge growing. It was about the size of a human head and was covered with tiny holes that were almost invisible to the naked eye.
Many people think that sponges are plants. After all, if you only look at their appearance, you can't see any connection with animals.
However, sponges are actually an animal, the simplest multicellular animal in structure, without a head, limbs, facial features, etc.
"It looks much uglier than SpongeBob SquarePants. There's really no comparison between reality and animation." Su Xia sighed.
"Captain, what is SpongeBob?" Sarah asked with a gentle smile.
"A character from a cartoon."
"Captain, do you remember your childhood?"
"It's more than just childhood..."
Su Xia shrugged. All the brothers in the dormitory, including him, still love to watch this animation.
He shifted his attention, moved his gaze, and continued to observe other areas.
After moving on the seabed for more than ten minutes, Su Xia focused his eyes and found another phantom blue sea clam that looked like a reef.
"It seems that I have good luck today. It is destined to be a day of harvest!" He was delighted. After this underwater journey, his strength would surely increase greatly.
…
When Su Xia had a great harvest under the sea, the outside world had already turned upside down.
The mechanical clan seemed to have gone crazy and sent out a million troops, densely packed together, covering the sky and the sun. With Conch City as the center, they spread out to both sides and blocked the entire southern coastline.
Of course, the so-called "million-strong" army is just a figurative statement.
The actual number may be more than this.
People in many coastal cities did not see the sun the entire morning today because the sky was covered by huge mechanical creatures and the cities were in darkness.
“Buzz——”
Countless mechanical creatures were like passing locusts, layer upon layer, team after team, rushing to the nearest coastline area.
At this moment, all coastal ports have almost stopped operating, with only a very small number of unloading cranes still working.
The vast majority of employees were laid off and sent home, awaiting further notice.
"Everyone, go back. This is your salary for the next three months. Take it first. Stay home for the next period of time. Something serious has happened. Try not to go out."
This is what the boss of a terminal freight company said to his employees.
When he said this, his expression was solemn and his tone was extremely serious.
"The mechanical race is very angry, and the consequences will be serious!"
"Have you seen those news media reports about people being killed? It's because they were ignorant and provoked the mechanical race that they ended up in this situation. Not only were they killed, but their families were also killed..."
“…”
In various coastal cities, many companies gathered their employees together and explained some precautions individually.
The bosses, major shareholders, etc. of these companies had all received news from the human lords of their respective cities in advance.
The contents of those messages are more or less the same, and can be summed up in three words - don't cause trouble!
Don't cause any trouble while the machines are angry!
The situation is now tense to the point of being on the verge of explosion. Any small incident may bring about a fatal disaster.
"Do you understand? Just take care of yourself and your family. Don't ask about the outside world. It's best not to ask anything. Just stay at home and spend more time with your family!"
"Understood……"
The employees received their early salaries with anxiety, and with a look of worry on everyone's face, they hurriedly packed up their things and left their respective group companies.
The way home is very familiar to everyone. They have walked it thousands of times, and they are happy almost every time they go home.
But today, everyone walking on the way home was worried, all with their heads down, not daring to say anything.
This was because, in the sky above their heads, thousands of mechanical creatures were buzzing past.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
On the ground, in the city streets, there are also endless mechanical creatures moving forward.
Most of these mechanical creatures are blue and white in color, with cold eyes and powerful strength, like futuristic creatures from science fiction movies.
They seemed to be a whole, marching in unison without the slightest disorder, forming a torrent of steel, heading to the coastal areas one after another.
They are powerful and unstoppable, and anything that stands in their way will be ruthlessly destroyed.
People returning home could only lean on the side of the street, terrified and with their heads down, fearing that they would be targeted by these mechanical creatures.
"I've never seen so many mechanical monsters before. Where did they come from?"
Many people think this in their hearts but dare not ask.
Going home is the only thought in most people’s minds now.
Only members of some large organizations and players who are not afraid of death dare to observe and analyze the movements of the Mechanical Clan this time.
At this moment, many members of large and powerful organizations are standing on the rooftops of high-rise buildings in the coastal area, observing and recording the actions of the mechanical race in their own ways, and constantly reporting to their superiors in the organization.
Looking at the densely packed mechanical creatures, many people frowned, even the fourth and fifth level psychic creatures were no exception.
"The actions of the mechanical race this time are really incomprehensible." A middle-aged man spoke with a heavy face. He stood on the roof and stared at the distant coastline.
He is one of the leaders of the Sun Foundation in the southwest region. He is also a powerful level five creature with considerable strength and great fame.
But even a person like him felt a chill down his spine at this moment.
Facing the endless army of steel, he was like an ant, as if he would be destroyed in the next moment.
At this moment, people in various coastal cities in the south have expressed similar sentiments.
"That's really exaggerated. Just for the masked weirdo?"
"How high is his priority within the Mechanical Clan?"
"Is it that serious?"
That overwhelming army, that unstoppable torrent of steel, that terrifying aura of doom, are they really just for one human being?
For this reason, the Mechanical Clan is willing to plunge the entire southwest of the continent into long-term turmoil and unrest?
"We are just catching a masked weirdo, why does it feel like all the mechanical tribes are coming out in full force?"
"Even the Silver City has mechanical creatures dispatched."
"What? The Silver City is also moving?"
New news kept appearing, each one more exaggerated than the last, causing a growing sensation.
In the center of the continent, the Silver City, the city built purely with mechanical metal, is also the center of the entire mechanical race. Hundreds of huge mechanical warships flew out, with roaring engines and rolling momentum, heading straight for the southwest of the continent.
This momentum and determination don't seem to be for a single creature.
Is it for a decisive battle with the human race?
or……
A large army was dispatched under the pretext of hunting down a masked monster, but in reality it was just to obtain a treasure in the southern sea?
Different organizations have different views and opinions.
Photos, videos and text descriptions of various cities in southern China are spreading around the world.
After seeing the real scene, many people couldn't help but gasp.
"hiss……"
Those scenes are so shocking!
The entire coast, from ten thousand meters in the sky to the deep seabed, has been completely blocked by a special mechanical sensor.
Those sensors were only the size of basketballs, metallic silver-white in color, and round in appearance. There was a small dark blue dot in the middle that was flickering slightly, as if they were monitoring something.
It's just a sensor, nothing shocking.
But what appeared before everyone's eyes were tens of thousands of silvery-white spherical metal sensors, densely packed, one after another, front and back, left and right, next to each other, with less than one meter between them, actually forming a huge net connecting the sky and the earth!
These sensors are like nodes on a big network.
Moreover, there is more than one layer of such a large net, and now there are more than ten layers.
Not to mention the masked monster - even if a mosquito flies by, the air movement caused by its wings will be recorded by the sensor!
These large nets are still rising and getting thicker, and new sensors are constantly flying out from bases in various cities.
Behind these sensors is the mechanical army that covers the sky and the sun.
At the same time, there are countless mechanical flying creatures flying around the sea, searching for the masked monster around the clock.
And beneath the sea, the mechanical clan’s underwater army has also been dispatched!
"Not really, really not!"
"Such a large-scale mobilization is not something that can be decided by Moser alone. This matter must have the intention of the Lord of the Silver City."
"Did the masked man really dig up the ancestral graves of the mechanical race?"
Many people are sighing.
It would be worth it for the masked man to die if he could lead to an action of this scale .
Looking around the world, how many people are worthy of the mechanical race doing this?
All over the world, various large organizations are constantly collecting information and analyzing it - what exactly did the masked man do? Why are the mechanical people so crazy?
Small-scale organizations could only stand on the sidelines and watch the events of the day, while marveling at the power of the masked man.
However, various large organizations have seen the significance behind this matter.
That is, the value of the masked monster!
"Something's wrong! This whole thing feels weird!"
"When the mechanical race hunted down a level six creature in the past, they never used the current scale, not even one-tenth of it!"
"This time, the mechanical race is determined..."
“Could it be…”
Could it be that the masked man has something that the mechanical race desires, or even fears?
If we save the masked man, can we get that thing?
Can that thing fight against the mechanical race?
The masked man has repeatedly escaped from the encirclement of the mechanical clan. Is it related to that thing?
Questions kept piling up and thickening, like dark clouds before a storm, hanging over the skies above all the major organizations.
On this day, many large organizations were discussing, thinking and summarizing.
As a result, people around the world have discovered that these large organizations, which usually claim to be "neutral", have shown a certain bias today.
Among them, the Northern Sailing Club is undoubtedly the most mechanical-oriented.
After discussion, the entire club reached a unanimous conclusion - the mechanical race is impossible to defeat. No matter how powerful the thing on the masked monster is, it cannot fight against the entire mechanical race!
Going against the mechanical race will only lead to death!
"In the past, the Mechanical Tribe would notify us when they were carrying out large-scale operations."
“But not this time.”
"This may be a test, and now is the time for us to express our attitude." One of the leaders of the Northern Sailing Club expressed this view at an internal meeting.
Many people know that among all the neutral organizations in the world, only the Zero Point Tavern has truly free neutrality.
Other organizations are not as powerful as the Zero Point Tavern, and are restricted in doing many things. Sometimes they even have to act according to the wishes of the Mechanical Clan.
This kind of neutrality sounds good, but in reality it is just charity from the mechanical race.
The Mechanical Clan kept them perhaps just because they didn't want the Zero Point Tavern to dominate the human race.
Today, several leaders of the Northern Sailing Club sensed something different in this incident and planned to express their loyalty to the Mechanical Clan.
However, the Legend Investigation Team, which is also a large organization, stood up and openly and covertly mocked the Sailing Club for being spineless and serving the Mechanical Clan like dogs.
Early this morning, the two organizations started arguing on the social platform.
It wasn't long before other large organizations were drawn into the controversy.
By 10 p.m., all major social media platforms were already in an uproar, and even many small and medium-sized organizations were implicated.
At this time, the Northern Sailing Club stated solemnly: "The Masked Man is a man of grave sins, numerous crimes, and countless murders. He should have been killed by the masters of the Mechanical Clan long ago! If he lives one more day, the whole world will be in chaos because of him for one more day!"
"You are a bunch of trash. How can you have the nerve to judge the masked weirdo?" The deputy leader of the Legend Investigation Team sneered. His words were very direct and he did not disguise anything at all.
"Hehe, we not only have to make an evaluation, but also assist the masters of the Mechanical Clan to hunt down the masked monster on the sea!"
The head of the Northern Sailing Club was equally tough and stated on the spot that all the club's ships would be dispatched.
The deputy head of the Legend Investigation Team was furious: "What? Are you really going to be a dog? You don't even want to act anymore?"
"What does it mean to be a dog?"
The head of the Northern Sailing Club responded: "We are just contributing to world peace!"
"Fuck it, you're so hypocritical! Aren't you claiming to be a neutral organization?"
"Can't neutral organizations maintain world peace?"
The two sides exchanged insults with each other from morning till night.
On this day, the "neutral" masks of many organizations were torn to pieces, revealing their true faces beneath the masks.
The Northern Sailing Club had good execution capabilities. They did what they said and immediately contacted the top leaders of the Mechanical Clan in the north.
Soon, they were given a patrol area designated by the Mechanical Clan.
Most club members expressed support for the decision of the club's top management.
However, a small number of employees are concerned.
Looking at the boundless sea and thinking of the power and terror of the masked man, some employees couldn't help but worry: "Boss, what should we do if we really run into the masked man?"
"With the ability of the Masked Man, we won't be able to hold out for long."
"Our club's ships are all made of metal. Once he fully unleashes his abilities, we will most likely be buried at the bottom of the sea..."
Listening to the worried words of the employees, a club leader smiled.
He was calm and confident, lying calmly on the deck with a glass of mellow red wine in his hand.
"Don't worry, don't worry!" He said with a smile, "We are in the northern waters, and the masked man is in the southern waters. There are 108,000 miles between us. Judging from the strength of the mechanical tribe's blockade, not even a mosquito can fly over!"
Hearing this, the employees were stunned.
They have also seen pictures and videos of the current southern coastal cities, so they naturally know that what the person in charge said is true.
But if that’s the case, what’s the point of them doing this?
"Boss, are we just pretending?"
“That’s right!”
The person in charge smiled calmly: "We should show this to the mechanical tribe to show that we stand with them."
Everyone suddenly realized: "So that's how it is, the boss is wise."
"Hey, learn more!" The person in charge shook the red wine glass. "After all, this world belongs to the mechanical race. There is no benefit in going against the mechanical race. Our path is the right one... An organization like the Legendary Investigation Team that doesn't know how to live or die may be destroyed by the mechanical race one day!"
The northern seas were calm at this time, with the sea breeze blowing gently and the waves rippling gently.
The person in charge took a deep breath of the fresh sea breeze, looking very comfortable.
However, there are still a few employees who are worried: "Boss, what if that masked man breaks through the blockade and comes from the south..."
"Don't worry, there's no such thing as a surprise!"
The person in charge interrupted the employee, looked confident, and waved his hand.
"He can't get through!"
